Chapter 103: Karma
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Nan Qiao looked at Luo Wanbai, who almost b.u.mped into her, and narrowed her eyes. She recognized her as the woman she had met at the antique market.
… Wasn’t this the dumb b*tch who had squandered 20 million yuan?
It turned out that she had bought the painting to celebrate Old Master Cheng’s birthday. She did not expect to meet her here.
It seemed like there was going to be a good show today.
“Nan Qiao, are you alright?”
An Nuo stood behind Nan Qiao. When she saw someone rushing over, she subconsciously stood behind Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao turned to look at An Nuo. When she saw her worried expression, the unhappiness in her heart eased a little.
“I’m fine.”
She had sensed it earlier, so Luo Wanbai hadn’t even touched Nan Qiao’s side.
Seeing that she was fine, An Nuo slowly exhaled.
That was close. If anything happened to Nan Qiao, it would be bad.
Luo Wanbai, who was standing at the side, did not panic even though she failed to b.u.mp into Nan Qiao. She reached out for a gla.s.s of wine and stood beside Nan Qiao. Her gaze on Nan Qiao was clearly sizing her up.
It was uncomfortable.
Nan Qiao felt her gaze and turned to look at Luo Wanbai with a subtle expression.
“I didn’t expect you to be able to sneak in.”
When Luo Wanbai saw that Nan Qiao was looking at her without saying anything, she couldn’t help but snort coldly. Her words were filled with disdain and hatred for Nan Qiao.
She did not forget that it was this person who had raised the price with her previously and forcefully made her spend twice as much.
However, when she thought about how Nan Qiao couldn’t even take out ten million yuan, she was afraid that Nan Qiao would not be able to enter the grand hall.
Nan Qiao frowned slightly and looked at Luo Wanbai in front of her, feeling a little annoyed.
Why was there another one as soon as she sent one away?
“Sneak in?”
Nan Qiao repeated and emphasized her words. She looked at Luo Wanbai with a faint smile.
The two of them stood together. Nan Qiao was wearing an aqua blue Chinese cheongsam. One look and one could tell that she had an extraordinary aura. She was clearly a rich young lady.
On the other hand, although Luo Wanbai’s moon-white dress looked a little fairy-like, coupled with her wavy blonde hair that looked especially flirtatious while blown in the air, it looked indescribably out of place, making her look a little tacky.
But looking at your clothes, why do you look like you are the one who sneaked in?”
Nan Qiao’s words were light, as if she was really just curious. There was no intention of sarcasm, but it made Luo Wanbai bite her lower lip.
In order to please Old Master Cheng today, she had specially worn a plain gown.
In the end, her weakness was spotted by Nan Qiao.
However, this also made Luo Wanbai notice the dress on the person. She had seen the design of this aqua blue gown before. It was the work of a famous designer, W. It was hard to find.
“There’s nothing wrong with keeping a low profile, right?”
Luo Wanbai chuckled.
On the other hand, some people are actually wearing high-quality imitations to attend Elder Cheng’s birthday banquet. Aren’t they afraid of making people laugh their heads off?”
She reached out as if to put the gla.s.s back, but hit Nan Qiao’s shoulder hard.
Nan Qiao was caught off guard and b.u.mped into someone. The anger in her heart that she had not planned to hold back erupted.
She stared at Luo Wanbai’s disdainful eyes, and the temperature in her tone suddenly dropped.
‘You’d better be careful, in case you lose an arm at some point.’
An Nuo, who was standing beside her, also frowned in disgust. She did not like the woman in front of her. At the same time, she recognized her face. She was the daughter of the Luo family.
“Qiao’s wearing the real thing.”
“On the other hand, you b.u.mped into Qiao just now and said that you didn’t do it on purpose. You’re making things difficult for my eyes.”
An Nuo’s words. .h.i.t the nail on the head, exposing Luo Wanbai’s attempt to brush it off.
“I’m afraid she’s jealous of Qiao and wants to destroy the clothes she’s wearing.”
She was standing on the side, so she could see Luo Wanbai’s actions clearly. Beside Nan Qiao was the table with the wine gla.s.ses. If Luo Wanbai had b.u.mped into Nan Qiao just now, it would have been Nan Qiao who would have made a fool of herself.
The atmosphere between the two sides was not good.
On the other side, Murong Chen, who was exchanging pleasantries with others, turned his head and looked in the direction of his Little Sister. Coincidentally, he saw this scene, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.
“You’re slandering me!”
Luo Wanbai’s thoughts were exposed by An Nuo. She raised her voice slightly, attracting the attention of everyone around her.
An Nuo did not say anything. Her smiling eyes curved into crescent moons. She looked at her like a little fox, as if she had seen through Luo Wanbai’s thoughts.
As soon as she said that, Luo Wanbai instantly felt a few more gazes on her.
She had only wanted to make things difficult for her, but now that she had attracted everyone’s attention, she naturally couldn’t do anything else, lest Old Master Cheng had a bad impression of her.
“I won’t argue with you.”
She made a prompt decision. After saying this, she lifted her skirt and planned to leave.
“Ah!”
However, when she turned around, the waiter who was holding a gla.s.s of wine happened to pour it in her direction.
The dark red wine dyed Luo Wanbai’s gown red, making it especially glaring to the eyes.
Nan Qiao raised her eyebrows and glanced at Luo Wanbai’s dark face playfully. She quietly retracted her leg and felt much better.
Luo Wanbai’s expression was ugly. She couldn’t care less about Nan Qiao now. She stared at everyone who was laughing at her and felt her face burn. She didn’t know whether to laugh or not and left in a hurry.
An Nuo’s eyes were sparkling, especially when she saw Luo Wanbai making a fool of herself. A few rays of happiness seeped out.
“Serves her right.”
Nan Qiao heard someone secretly mutter in her ear. The tone of his voice was even a little gloating.
“You two have a feud?”
A low and hoa.r.s.e male voice and An Nuo’s voice sounded on both sides of Nan
Qiao at the same time, but there was a hint of unnoticeable worry in the male voice.
Nan Qiao looked up. It was indeed Murong Chen.
It’s nothing.”
She raised her head and smiled at her Big Brother.
The girl’s eyes were clear and bright, like the galaxy. At this moment, when she looked up and faced the light above her head, it was like the brilliant sea of stars that was vast and boundless, making one’s breathing stagnate. The stray hair at her temples obediently stuck to both sides of her face, making her look even more obedient.
So cute.
Murong Chen’s thoughts stopped. His mind was filled with the words ‘cute’ and Qiaoqiao’s face.
Fortunately, he had not forgotten the purpose of his visit.
That person just now…”
Fortunately, with the previous lesson, Murong Chen was not so easily bewitched by Nan Qiao. He remembered what he saw just now and quickly changed the topic.
Nan Qiao pouted. She didn’t expect this move to fail.
How could Murong Chen not see through what Nan Qiao was thinking? He knocked on her head with his finger, pretending to be fierce, but the finger that landed on her head could not even flatten her hair.
Have you forgotten what you promised me?”
When he said that, Nan Qiao couldn’t help but feel guilty.
I ran into her this morning.”
Nan Qiao confessed honestly.
She didn’t know this woman, but she still noticed the faint hostility just now. Although she didn’t know where the hostility came from, she wasn’t so easy to bully.
After hearing the whole story, Murong Chen knew that Nan Qiao was not bullied, so he was relieved.
His sister, whom he could not even stop doting on, was not someone to be bullied.
“Anyway, tell Big Brother if anything happens.”
“Don’t act strong again. You’re the little princess of the Murong family.”
Afraid that his Little Sister would have any dangerous thoughts, Murong Chen repeatedly reminded her before leaving.
Although the other party did not do anything, Murong Chen still remembered the person. Later, he would ask w.a.n.g Tao to check the background of the person.
Nan Qiao nodded her head like she was pounding garlic, looking extremely obedient.
It was not until Murong Chen was far away that she let out a sigh of relief.
“Your brother is so handsome!
Just now, An Nuo had seen Murong Chen’s worry and concern for Nan Qiao. An Nuo had seen everything and couldn’t help but wish that she could have such a Big Brother too..
