Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
‘The Sun family was one of the n.o.ble families in the capital.
Bo Cixue and the Sun family’s daughter, Sun Jingjing, were high school cla.s.smates. Sun Jingjing had gotten engaged to her childhood sweetheart after graduating from the Capital University. Tonight was their public appearance after their engagement and the guests were all young men and women from
the capital.
Bo Cixue was wearing a dark green long dress. Her figure was exquisite and her long hair was draped over her shoulders. She had exquisite makeup on her face and looked energetic and beautiful.
Ye Jie rarely attended such banquets and he was busy with work, so Bo Cixue did not force him to come with her.
Bo Cixue came with Nan Xun. Tang Mo was on a business trip and after receiving the invitation, the Tang family’s butler handed it to Nan Xun.
‘When Bo Cixue and Nan Xun arrived at the Sun family’s villa, the living room was already filled with people. Men and women were talking in low voices, drinking and looking quite lively.
The two of them went forward to greet Sun Jingjing.
Many socialites knew Bo Cixue and went forward to greet her.
Some socialites received news that Bo Cixue had already wooed Ye Jie and that the future Princess Consort of the Crown Prince might be Bo Cixue.
Some wanted to curry favor with Bo Cixue, while others could not stand her.
For example, the Chu sisters.
Chu Li had already returned from the west. She had rested for a period of time and her skin had turned fairer.
Her days in the west were harder than her years in the tribe.
She really hated Bo Cixue and Ye Jie.
She did not dare to have any ideas about Ye Jie anymore. When he was ruthless, he was much colder and more heartless than others.
Chu Li looked at Bo Cixue. She was chatting and laughing with several socialites, and her actions were filled with the aura of a socialite. It was hard to ignore the confidence and generosity she exuded.
“Sister, were you defeated by her just like that?” Chu Xi pouted. “She came to the banquet but the Crown Prince didn’t come with her. It’s obvious that he doesn’t like her that much!”
Not much?
Chu Li thought of how in the west, he could disregard the lives of others because of her words and gaze.
“Alright, why are you saying that? Whether Bo Cixue can hire him or not is her ability. Let’s not worry about others in the future!”
After returning from the west, Chu Li realized that she did not like Ye Jie much.
She started to miss her days in the tribe.
There probably wouldn’t be another Lan Yue in this world.
Chu Li started to regret ignoring Lan Yue after returning.
She went to the swimming center to look for Lan Yue and learned that he had left the swimming team.
No one knew where he had gone.
Chu Li knew that Tang Wu had chased Lan Yue. After she returned, she found that Tang Wu was no longer in the country. She wondered where she had gone with Lan Yue.
Chu Li wanted to ask Bo Cixue, but Bo Cixue would definitely not tell her.
Chu Li firmly believed that Lan Yue would not fall in love with anyone else. After all, he was very good to her in the tribe.
She would wait for him to come back.
While Bo Cixue was talking to the socialite, she felt a gaze on her.
She looked sideways and saw Chu Li standing in the corner. She quickly looked away.
A few days ago, she had learned that Chu Li had returned. As long as Chu Li did not cause trouble for her, she naturally would not provoke her.
Chu Li retracted her gaze first when Bo Cixue looked at her.
Bo Cixue did not know if she was hallucinating, but Chu Li seemed to have smoothed out some of her edges on this trip to the west.
He was not as arrogant as before.
After Bo Cixue informed the socialites, she went to the buffet table to get some snacks.
She was eating a piece of cake when Nan Xun suddenly walked over and poked her elbow lightly. “Cixue, look who’s here.”
Bo Cixue looked toward the entrance of the banquet hall.
Ye Yiren, who was wearing a long white dress, walked in with Gao Tai.
Ye Yiren’s makeup was a little thick, but one could still tell that she did not look too good.
Nan Xun had heard that Ye Yiren had gone to the research inst.i.tute to look for Bo Cixue that day and her impression of Ye Yiren had worsened. “If it were me, I really wouldn’t dare to go out. She has so many scandals and still looks so arrogant. Her skin is really thicker than the city walls.”
Bo Cixue knew a little about the Gao family. Although Ye Yiren was the eldest princess of K Country, the Gao family would not think highly of her after what had happened.
She must have had a hard time in the Gao family.
“Her sister is still the cutest.” At the thought of Ye Qingcheng, Bo Cixue smiled.
The moment Ye Yiren and Gao Tai entered the banquet hall, they saw Bo Cixue sitting in front of the buffet table.
Bo Cixue was too eye-catching.
Gao Tai narrowed his eyes. “If I have such a beauty who likes me, I would have long bowed down to her.”
Ye Yiren gritted her teeth. “You will never be him.”
Gao Tai glanced at Ye Yiren sharply. “Yes, if I were him, I wouldn’t marry a woman like you.”
Ye Yiren tightened her cheeks. “Gao Tai, who was the one who shamelessly said that she liked me?”
“Twas blind back then and thought that you were a pure woman. Who knew that you were a nth-handsome woman?”
Ye Yiren suppressed the anger in her chest and retracted her hand. “In the future, you can only be tied to me. Let’s see who can disgust the other.”
Gao Tai did not want to say anything more to Ye Yiren. After an angry snort, he took his wine and went to talk to the other guests.
Bo Cixue continued to talk to the socialites. After a few gla.s.ses of wine, her beautiful face turned slightly red.
A call came in. Bo Cixue took her phone from her bag and went to the back garden to answer it.
After the call, Bo Cixue took a gla.s.s of champagne and walked deep into the garden.
‘There was a clear green lake in the depths of the garden that was man-made by the Sun family. There were trees around and there were lounge chairs by the sh.o.r.e.
Bo Cixue sat on the daybed and put the champagne aside.
She took out her phone from her bag, preparing to look at it.
suddenly, a dark voice came from behind. “Bo Cixue, doesn’t he like you? Why didn’t he come to the banquet with you?”
Bo Cixue turned back and frowned in annoyance when she saw Ye Yiren appearing behind her. “Miss Ye, can’t you live your own life? Why do you have to make things difficult for others every day and shoot yourself in the foot time after time? Don’t you feel embarra.s.sed? To be honest, I’m embarra.s.sed for
you!”
A trace of ferociousness appeared in Ye Yiren’s eyes. She raised her hand, wanting to slap Bo Cixue’s face, but Bo Cixue grabbed her wrist and said coldly, “Miss Ye, if you provoke me again, I won’t let you off!”
Bo Cixue pushed Ye Viren back and Ye Yiren swayed unsteadily, a cold smile on her lips. “Bo Cixue, even without me, you and Ye Jie will not be happy together. You will be separated and will become strangers!”
“Crazy!” Bo Cixue cursed and turned to leave..
