Shen Nianchu ignored Shen Wanqing. She was the one who was bullied and it was not her who made the mistake. What did she have to worry about?
Her only worry was that she didn't want Lu Jinzhou to remember how embarrassed she was at the Lu family. She wanted to always look fresh and beautiful in front of him.
As for those people, it doesn't matter.
But sometimes, if you don’t take the initiative to cause trouble, trouble will come to you.
Shen Nianchu was chatting with Jiang Wang when Xue Shuyi came over and sat in the empty seat between her and Jiang Wang.
"Nianchu, you look so beautiful today. This set of rubies really suits you, and it makes your skin look even whiter."
Chen Nianchu stood up and smiled faintly, "Thank you, you are very beautiful too."
"Well, this outfit of mine is just so-so. If it weren't for the brand's kind invitation, I wouldn't have bothered to come. I always thought I'd look old-fashioned in this emerald, but I didn't expect it to suit me so well."
Xue Shuyi also wore a black dress, a tight skirt with straps and a fishtail design at the bottom. She had a great figure and wore an emerald from the brand's top-end line. The necklace alone cost over 40 million, and she exuded nobility and elegance everywhere.
But overall, this outfit has a maturity beyond her age, giving people the feeling that she is trying too hard and not well controlled.
Anyone with a discerning eye would think it looked old-fashioned, but since people had said so, Shen Nianchu couldn't refute it, and replied with a faint smile, "It's quite suitable, and it matches your temperament very well."
"It all comes down to age. When I was your age, I never liked anything with emeralds. This ruby series really suits you, both in color and design. It's true that what suits a person is inseparable from age, whether it's about things or people. What do you think?"
The ruby series endorsed by Chen Nianchu is considered the top series in the mid-range line. Although it is also expensive, it is more than one level lower than the high-end emerald series.
Xue Shuyi's words were not too obscure, and she was not overthinking it. If she guessed correctly, she was saying:
She only deserves this mid-range ruby.
People are only worthy of her.
Lu Jinzhou is beyond her reach.
The implication is that she should be aware of the situation and not covet things that do not belong to her.
The artist entered the backstage, followed by his agent and assistant. Ye Huan immediately smiled.
"Look at what you said. Our Nianbao has fair skin. Usually, in such occasions, people would apply some kind of body cream to look good in a dress, but Nianbao doesn't need that stuff at all. Isn't that infuriating?"
Xue Shuyi, who had applied pearlescent body cream, suddenly looked ugly.
But he wasn't done yet. Ye Huan continued, "Ruby jewelry is beautiful, but any jewelry series would suit her. If she wore emeralds, many women here would be eclipsed, wouldn't you say?"
Shen Nianchu also said slowly while holding a glass of red wine,
"You can only tell whether it's suitable after you wear it yourself. Just like what Miss Xue said just now, you might think an emerald isn't suitable for you, but when you put it on, you really like it. It doesn't matter whether it's suitable for you or not. As long as you like it, it's suitable for you."
Neither of them said it clearly, and no one pointed it out. Xue Shuyi then put on a cautious look again.
"Yeah, that's right. Look at what I said before. I just wanted to say that red looks really good on you, and to lament that I'm almost 30. If anything I said didn't sit well with you, please don't take it personally. I didn't mean it."
Chen Nianchu smiled faintly, "How could that be? Even if you're approaching 30, you're still very young. There's not much age difference between us. Don't define yourself so easily."
"Pfft..." Shen Wanqing beside him laughed foolishly and slowly stood up, "Shen Nianchu, I really admire you. People clicked on you, and you actually started chatting with them."
Shen Wanqing smiled with a hint of flattery and stretched out her hand.
"Hello, Miss Xue. I'm Shen Wanqing, Yu Ziqian's wife and her cousin. My cousin has always been like this, especially good at arguing. Don't bother with her."
Xue Shuyi lowered her eyes and glanced at Shen Wanqing's hand, but did not hold it.
"Although I've only known Nianchu for a short time, I know she's definitely not the person you describe her to be. I advise you to be more careful with what you say in public to avoid misunderstandings."
The tone was cold and a bit distant, which Shen Nianchu had not expected.
Shen Wanqing didn't expect Xue Shuyi to be so disrespectful to her. Just as she was about to retort, she saw Xu Tingrou, the daughter of the Xu family, coming over.
"Shuyi, why are you here? Isn't Mr. Lu at that table... Oh, am I seeing right, Shen Nianchu?"
Xue Shuyi looked at her in confusion, "Do you know Nianchu?"
Xu Tingrou crossed her arms and looked Shen Nianchu up and down with a very impolite look.
"More than knowing each other, we're old acquaintances. We were classmates in junior high school. But she later transferred to study abroad, so I couldn't continue to be her classmate. It's really a pity for me."
Time has passed, and seeing Xu Tingrou like this, with the same expression as when he bullied her, made her suddenly feel uncomfortable. Maybe it was PTSD, the place on her arm that was burned by the cigarette butt began to ache slightly.
Xu Tingrou finally stopped her gaze on Shen Nianchu's beautifully shaped chest.
"Tsk tsk tsk, your figure is even better than before. You must have made the most of it and hooked up with a wealthy sponsor, right? Otherwise, with you and the status of the Shen family, how could you come to a place like this?"
Shen Nianchu narrowed her eyes, and her charming peach blossom eyes were as cold as ice, "Watch your mouth."
Xu Tingrou looked incredulous, then sneered,
"I've never seen anything like this before. How dare you talk to me like that? Have you forgotten the good times we had back then? The others are over there. Do you want me to call them over to help you reminisce?"
Ye Huan probably guessed Xu Tingrou's identity and immediately became alert. "Try to talk nonsense again?"
"Get lost! Who do you think you are? Can anyone be allowed into the jewelry banquet?"
Xue Shuyi was confused by what she heard. She pulled Xu Tingrou, whose eyes were gradually filled with ridicule and sharpness, and asked, "What are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"
"There's no misunderstanding. I just can't stand the way she uses this seductive look to seduce people. She's the same now as before, it's disgusting."
As he spoke, he picked up the red wine on the table next to him and splashed it on Shen Nianchu's face. He was so fast that Ye Huan didn't have time to protect her.
The dinner party was originally a huge place of fame and fortune. Everyone was busy expanding their social circle and it was very lively. Not many people noticed the quarrel here at all, and just thought it was a normal social interaction between a female star and a rich girl.
But the wine-throwing act did attract the attention of many people around, who all looked like they were there to watch a show.
