Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
At four o’clock in the afternoon, Sanyue Street began to bustle with activity.
He Fei had the intention to introduce Zi Yi to his acquaintances and deliberately called many people to come over.
Moreover, Ouyang Ming had also called his friends over, so there were around twenty to thirty people who came.
They were all from privileged families and they had an indiscernible air of superiority.
In the end, Ouyang Ming simply closed down the bar, restricted outsiders, and only served his friends and acquaintances.
Zi Lian sat beside Zi Yi. When she saw so many young masters and young ladies from upper-cla.s.s society, her cheeks turned red from excitement.
She raised her c.o.c.ktail in a reserved manner and used the cup to cover her mouth, before asking Zi Yi, “Yiyi, are we really here to drink with them tonight?”
Zi Yi glanced at her and said in a dull tone, “If you’re worried, you can go back.”
Zi Lian was silenced at once.
When everyone arrived, all their eyes were on Zi Yi.
Some were amazed, some were surprised and there were also some with hostile gazes.
He Fei introduced her to everyone in a flaunting manner. “This is Zi Yi.”
The name Zi Yi had become extremely famous within their circles in the past few days.
He Fei had not returned to the capital for years and upon his return, he insisted on marrying Zi Yi. He had even fallen out with Second Young Master He due to this incident.
They had finally met the person from the rumors and all of a sudden, they understood his persistence.
Just then, a woman wearing a hip-wrapping fishtail skirt with exquisite makeup on her face, walked over to Zi Yi and said in a generous tone, “Hi, I’m Xiang Wei, a childhood friend of He Fei. Indeed, seeing is believing. I hadn’t expected He Fei to have such high standards, and find such a beautiful girlfriend like you.”
Zi Yi looked at the woman and corrected her. “I’m not his girlfriend.”
Xiang Wei’s face revealed a surprised look. She turned to He Fei and asked, “Don’t tell me you haven’t successfully chased her?”
He Fei shrugged his shoulders. “It’s nothing to be embarra.s.sed about. Perhaps you’ll be calling her sister-in-law very soon.”
“Is that so? Then I’ll be waiting for the day when it happens.”
Zi Yi looked at Xiang Wei. She had not missed that cold gaze of hers.
When she thought about it, she found it interesting. She had managed to conceal her malice so well.
After everyone was introduced to Zi Yi, a service staff pushed in a cart laden with bottles of alcohol.
Xiang Wei took the lead and pa.s.sed a gla.s.s of red wine to her. “Zi Yi, let’s have a drink. He Fei and I are like brother and sister, and he’s a nice person. It’s just that he likes to run around. I hope you can make him settle down.”
Her words had caused many people present to jeer.
“Sure enough, Xiang Wei cares the most about He Fei. Unfortunately, there are no sparks between you two. Otherwise, how good it would be if you got together.”
“That’s right. Xiang Wei is such an understanding lady. Whoever marries her will be blessed.”
Xiang Wei said with displeasure, “Stop your nonsense. Otherwise, it will be even harder for He Fei to chase Zi Yi.”
Zi Yi looked at Xiang Wei but she did not receive the gla.s.s from her hands. Instead, she took another gla.s.s from the trolley and clinked gla.s.ses with her. “I can drink once with you, but nothing else.”
After that, she emptied the gla.s.s in one go.
Xiang Wei had not expected Zi Yi to be so bold and forthright. She looked at Zi Yi’s lips stained with wine and felt unhappy deep down. However, she did not show it on her face and drank the wine.
Shortly after, the crowd began to enjoy themselves while drinking. There were even some who went onto the dancefloor.
After a while, Zi Yi had the urge to pee. She stood up and walked towards the restroom.
Not long after she left, Xiang Wei quietly followed behind her.
Zi Lian noticed their movements. She then put down her gla.s.s before following them.
When Zi Yi came out from the cubicle, she saw Xiang Wei standing outside, obviously waiting for her.
Currently, the Xiang Wei before her did not appear as generous as before. She had a gloomy expression as she sneered. “I’ve seen plenty of women like you who want to climb up the ladder.”
Zi Yi squeezed the hand soap and slowly washed her jade-like fingers.
When Xiang Wei saw Zi Yi ignoring her, her expression turned cold, and she said in a commanding tone, “I want you to leave He Fei.”
