Fan Qi was deeply fond of a powerful figure from a Hong Kong novel—a man whose turbulent early life had shaped him into someone irresistibly charismatic.
But admiration was one thing. Fan Q...
Really ignored her.
The charity reception was a public event, and reporters from newspapers and TV stations were invited. Seeing that Jin Xiaohui had transformed from an erotic film actress into a wealthy wife, they naturally wanted to grab such a big piece of gossip, and a reporter came over and asked all the ladies to take a group photo.
The hidden rule of the group photo is to rank according to wealth. Mrs. Feng's family is Liu, and her husband's family is Feng. Moreover, her family chose Feng Xueming as the heir, so she naturally stood in the middle. Mrs. Zhu was ranked second. Mrs. Zhu and Jin Xiaohui stood next to Mrs. Feng. Mrs. Feng and Mrs. Zhu were about 20 years apart in age. Mrs. Feng was not bad looking, but Jin Xiaohui's face and figure were both well-known in the entertainment industry. Her jewelry was better than Mrs. Feng's, making Mrs. Feng look dull.
Mrs. Feng was not willing to stand next to a prostitute who couldn't wait to show off after getting on top, so she said, "Let's wait until everyone is gathered before taking the photo! I'll go to Shufen's place."
Mrs. Feng left capriciously, leaving the ladies looking at each other in bewilderment. Mrs. Feng had already said to wait until everyone was gathered before taking the photos, so could they still continue taking the photos?
Jin Xiaohui originally wanted to take this opportunity to take a photo standing in the middle, so that she could be included in the magazine and let everyone know that she was standing in the middle of the rich wives. When other heavyweight wives of wealthy families came, how could she have a chance?
Such a godsend opportunity was ruined by Mrs. Feng. Jin Xiaohui was indignant and walked over to stand beside Mrs. Feng: "Mrs. Feng, Mr. Feng recently bought a set of emerald jewelry from us. The emeralds are of rare quality and the setting is first-class. Why didn't I see Mrs. Feng wearing it?"
Mrs. Feng understood that the man must have gone to please the little vixen again. Although he said he wanted to be pregnant, he was jealous. "Emerald is a hobby of foreigners. My father and mother love Chinese culture and like transparent and moist jade. I rarely wear emeralds."
As Feng Taizheng was speaking, Mr. Liu Xiang, an old man in a long gown, holding a cane in one hand and with the other hand holding Mrs. Liu, who was wearing a cheongsam and had a string of emerald green jade beads around her neck, came in.
This jade necklace was bought by Mr. Liu for $280,000 as a gift to his beloved wife for their 40th wedding anniversary.
The arrival of her parents, and the fact that her mother happened to be wearing jadeite, helped Mrs. Feng save some face. She smiled and said to the other ladies, "Excuse me."
When she turned around, she glanced at Mrs. Zhu, but she didn't care at all and was chatting with the other ladies about the new arrivals in their jewelry store.
Mrs. Feng walked over to the two elders and took the old lady's arm: "Mom, why didn't Xue Yi come?"
"Young people are bored here, so they call their friends to go dancing." The old lady smiled, waved Xu Miaoer over, put Xu Miaoer's hand in hers, and said kindly, "Miaoer is still a good boy."
When Mrs. Xu saw Old Lady Liu coming, she put down what she was doing and came over to greet her. When she heard what the old lady said, she hurriedly asked, "Is Xueyi still young?"
In today's scene, the Liu family is the wealthiest, and Mr. Liu has rarely appeared in such occasions since he had kidney cancer surgery, so this is a rare opportunity.
Feng Xueming stood next to his grandfather. He didn't look like a playboy at all. He was simply the most well-behaved grandson. Mr. Feng also followed his father-in-law closely.
Those wealthy businessmen who had been talking big just now became humble and polite in front of a business tycoon like Liu Xiangnian.
Feng Xueming lowered his head to look at his watch, and someone beside him joked, "Mr. Feng, are you waiting for someone?"
"Liao Yazhe said he would come today, but it's already this late, why hasn't he come yet?"
The Liao family and the Xu family cannot be considered mortal enemies, but they are enemies in the same industry. Feng Xueming is the future son-in-law of the Xu family, but he plays with Liao Yazhe and they are inseparable, which is puzzling.
"Isn't it here?" The man looked towards the door.
Liao Jiqing came in with his wife, and behind them came Liao Yazhe and...Fan Qi, who was in the gossip news with Mr. Feng yesterday? Mrs. Feng even came out to clarify why she was with Feng Xueming's friend today? And Liao Yazhe didn't bring her in alone, but Liao Jiqing and his wife brought her in.
If she was Liao Yazhe's female companion, Liao Yazhe should have naturally led her in, but she and Liao Yazhe actually walked side by side.
