Chapter 46 Helping Her Out of a Dilemma

Lin Xuesha wore an exceptionally gorgeous pink tulle dress, which made her look like a fairytale princess.

When Fu Yuqi saw that it was Lin Xuesha, her attitude immediately changed, and her tone became gentle.

She treats Lin Xuesha and Jiang Ranxing with completely different attitudes.

Fu Yuqi stood on Lin Xuesha's side, praising her highly.

“The Fu family was invited to the banquet, so I came,” Fu Yuqi said again. “Xue Sha, you are so beautiful, you are like a fairy descended from heaven.”

Lin Xuesha covered her mouth and laughed, "Sister, you're too modest. You're even prettier than me."

When Fu Yuqi saw how pleasant Lin Xuesha's voice was, his feelings for Lin Xuesha grew even stronger.

"Xue Sha, you're so good with words. No wonder Shen Yuan likes you. I like you too."

Fu Yuqi glared at Jiang Ranxing again, speaking in a sour tone.

"Unlike some people, who don't even know the difference between superiors and inferiors all day long and just know how to argue with others, they are just wild girls from the countryside who don't know any manners."

Fu Yuqi added, "Our Xue Sha is the best. She's a proper young lady from a wealthy family, and she's the perfect match for Shen Yuan."

Fu Yuqi spoke in an affected and pretentious manner, which Lin Xuesha found quite pleasing.

She just loves it when people put Jiang Ranxing down and praise her.

She had disliked Jiang Ranxing for a long time, ever since college. Jiang Ranxing always outperformed her in her major, and she hated her intensely.

In her eyes, Jiang Ranxing was an annoying and despicable person.

He's always bothering her, she's getting really annoyed with Jiang Ranxing.

Jiang Ranxing felt utterly bored by the back-and-forth mockery and disparagement between the two.

She no longer wanted to argue with Fu Yuqi about these things.

It really doesn't make any sense.

After the divorce, they lost contact with each other, and neither of them needed to look after the other.

She might not even be magnanimous enough to talk to Fu Yuqi.

Lin Xuesha watched as Jiang Ranxing picked up the juice and took a couple of sips, feeling somewhat puzzled.

She asked feigning concern, "Ranxing, why are you only drinking juice? Why aren't you drinking alcohol? Are you feeling unwell? You don't look well."

Jiang Ranxing shook the orange juice in his hand and took another sip.

"What I drink is none of Miss Lin's business," she said, unwilling to engage in any pretense with Lin Xuesha. "Excuse me, I'll go over there now."

After saying that, Jiang Ranxing put down the juice and walked across the street.

Two fashion editors just arrived, and Jiang Ranxing wants to go and have a chat with them.

Lin Xuesha looked at Jiang Ranxing's back with some suspicion, and was unsure about what Jiang Ranxing had said.

Lin Xuesha said to Fu Yuqi, "Sister, don't you think Ranxing looks a little off?"

Fu Yuqi asked, puzzled, "What? Something's not right."

Lin Xuesha said, "It seems like she's not in a good state, and she refuses to drink."

Lin Xuesha initially suspected that Jiang Ranxing might be ill, but Fu Yuqi's words immediately put Lin Xuesha on high alert.

"If she doesn't drink, how could she possibly get pregnant again?"

Lin Xuesha stared wide-eyed in Jiang Ranxing's direction.

Jiang Ranxing's red dress completely covered her figure, and her abdomen was flat, so you couldn't tell anything about it.

Fu Yuqi waved her hand and said, "Xue Sha, don't think nonsense. Shen Yuan doesn't even like her, how could he possibly sleep with her? I think she's just pretending to be pitiful to gain sympathy. Just leave her alone."

Lin Xuesha still had some doubts.

Fu Yuqi then asked, "Will Shen Yuan come today? When will he arrive?"

Lin Xuesha smiled and replied, "It should be soon. Shen Yuan called and said there was a meeting at the group, and he'll come over after it's over."

Fu Yuqi nodded: "Then let's go for a walk first, and I'll introduce you to a few people."

Then Fu Yuqi treated Lin Xuesha like his cousin's wife, taking her around to socialize with everyone.

Jiang Ranxing chatted with the two fashion editors for a while, but found they didn't click, so he made an excuse to find someone else to talk to.

Jiang Ranxing also talked to other professionals, gaining some insights and also some gossip.

Jiang Ranxing chatted for a while and was about to take a break when she turned around and saw Fu Yuqi socializing with Lin Xuesha.

Jiang Ranxing sighed softly.

The Fu family really doesn't take her seriously at all.

Apart from Old Master Fu, who genuinely treated her as family, everyone else in the Fu family looked down on her.

The reason is quite simple: she pursued Fu Shenyuan first, and the Fu family felt that she was belittling herself.

Another reason is that her background is worlds apart from that of the Fu family.

Jiang Ranxing didn't think much of it before, but later he realized how snobbish people are.

When you lack power and status, no matter how well you do, you will be looked down upon.

That's just how she is; in the Fu family, she can only be a useless housewife.

Over the years, Jiang Ranxing has neglected himself, and sometimes he really has nowhere to confide in.

At that moment, a commotion broke out at the entrance, and a large number of guests crowded towards it.

"The CEO of Lingsu has arrived!"

Jiang Ranxing heard people talking in the crowd.

"Has Lingsu CEO Ji Shiheng arrived? I want to go see him."

Jiang Ranxing also took two steps forward and saw what the president of Ling Su looked like.

Ji Shiheng walked in with an imposing air. Jiang Ranxing looked at him and saw that he had a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and his eyes and brows carried a hint of flirtatious indifference.

Ji Shiheng searched through the crowd and finally focused his attention on Lin Xuesha and Fu Yuqi. He picked up a glass of wine and walked towards them.

Jiang Ranxing could tell from the way he chatted so enthusiastically with Lin Xuesha that this person must have a good relationship with Lin Xuesha.

My earlier intention to go over and say hello suddenly became hesitant.

Jiang Ranxing decided to hold off for now and wait for the right opportunity to act.

The guests chatted for a while, and finally it was time for the banquet to begin.

The waiters led each guest to their assigned seat.

Even after the waiter received Jiang Ranxing's invitation, he did not immediately invite Jiang Ranxing to sit down.

The waiter asked, "Madam, may I ask your relationship with Ms. Zhou Yinxiu? Our invitation clearly states that we are inviting Ms. Zhou Yinxiu."

Jiang Ranxing paused for two seconds; it wouldn't be appropriate to directly say that he was Zhou Yinxiu's student.

"I..." Jiang Ranxing asked tentatively, "Can I not answer?"

The waiter shook his head: "I'm afraid you won't be allowed in, ma'am."

"Um……"

"Let her in." A voice rang out beside Jiang Ranxing.

Jiang Ranxing turned around and found that it was Ji Shiheng speaking to him.

After receiving confirmation, the waiter gestured for Jiang Ranxing to proceed.

Jiang Ranxing nodded and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for helping me out, Mr. Ji."

"No need to be so polite, all guests are welcome." Ji Shiheng didn't seem to care much about such things.

Jiang Ranxing asked with some doubt, "Aren't you worried that I stole this invitation?"
