Mingluo slowly came to her senses and tried to summon the peach blossom back.
Unfortunately, the peach blossoms were only fleeting, and no matter how hard Mingluo tried, they never appeared again.
Minglu frowned and gave up casting the spell.
It seems that the strange attraction brought by this peach blossom can only dissipate on its own when the time comes; human effort is probably not able to control it.
She needs to be extra careful from now on, so that the peach blossoms don't fall on someone else.
However, considering that she had already attracted two suitors to Nie Yuchen, and that Nie Yuchen had been chauffeuring her around, could it also be a result of these suitors?
She narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, deciding to observe Nie Yuchen for the time being.
Although what Nie Yuchen did wasn't outrageous, Minglu felt that for someone as cold-hearted as Nie Yuchen, picking up a girl was probably already an outrageous act.
Having made up her mind, she released Nie Heng's wrist, sat up straight, and remained silent.
In everyone's eyes, Mingluo was touching and pinching Nie Heng's wrist, making Nie Heng blush and feel extremely ashamed. Then, she stopped touching him, leaving Nie Heng extremely disappointed and everyone who hadn't had enough of the show.
Minglu frowned: "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
"Ah...no, nothing? Why aren't you reading my palm?" Nie Heng asked, his face flushed and his eyes sparkling.
Mingluo said calmly, "I've finished reading it!"
"Huh? So fast?" Nie Heng withdrew his hand in disappointment. The lingering warmth of Mingluo's fingers seemed to still be on his wrist, gently stirring his heartstrings.
The others hurriedly stretched out their hands as well, saying, "Let me see too. I've been feeling unlucky lately, can you take a look at my fortune? I'll pay you whatever it costs."
"Let me see it too!"
"Miss, I want to see it too!"
Several people crowded together, and several hands reached out to Mingluo.
Nie Heng became anxious.
He slapped away the hands of these lustful single men one by one. "Get out, get out, get out! If you dare to let me read your fortune, I'll cut ties with you all."
The group started making a ruckus.
Mingluo took a sip of her drink and smiled gently. After all, young people are full of energy, while she, an old lady, is not so energetic and is very sleepy.
Suddenly—
Several familiar voices came out, startling Mingluo awake.
A few girls at the next table brought some snacks and sat down. In the dimly lit environment, they obviously couldn't see who was next to them, so they started chatting.
"Jiaojiao, Jingyan is so good to you! He actually invited us to a place like this. The food here is really delicious. All I see are abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber, and fish maw. You're so lucky in the future. When will you become the young mistress of the Jing family?"
"Don't joke with me, we're not that fast yet," Ming Jiaojiao's voice came, sounding very shy.
Minglu smiled coldly. What a small world! Ming Jiaojiao had also come over.
Nie Heng had obviously noticed it too. Just as he was about to speak, Ming Luo put her index finger to her lips and made a 'shh' gesture.
Nie Heng immediately shut his mouth obediently. When He Lin next to him tried to speak, Nie Heng turned around and covered He Lin's mouth tightly.
Herlin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
You heartless bastard who only cares about women!
Everyone strained their ears to listen to what was being said over there.
The girl who had asked the question earlier said again, "How can you be joking? This is the Empress's residence. You've been to Fango and now you've come to the Empress's. Jingyan spoils you rotten. But what happened this morning? I heard someone attacked you. Who had the audacity to do that?"
The girl who asked the question had a strong sense of jealousy in her tone, it was incredibly sour.
Ming Jiaojiao thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being envied and jealous. She gave a bitter smile, shook her head, and said, "It's all Mingluo's fault. Mingluo told that murderer's parents that I instigated their son to kill, and she shifted the blame onto me. That murderer's parents then came and beat me up. I really..."
As she spoke, her tone became low and pitiful, which aroused sympathy from the crowd.
"Ming Luozhen is so shameless! How could she do such a thing? You're her cousin! How could she harm you like this?"
Nie Heng frowned as he listened, then remembered something else.
Mingluo smiled slightly, "Shh!"
Like a docile big dog, Nie Heng continued working unwillingly, his eyes fixed on the booth, his face full of resentment.
Ming Jiaojiao lowered her head and gave a bitter smile, concealing the vicious glint in her eyes.
She just loves hearing people criticize Mingluo.
After everyone had finished criticizing her, she continued, "So Jingyan brought me out to relax. He was worried I'd be too bored by myself, so he told me to invite some of my girlfriends over. Of course, I invited you all."
"Jiaojiao, you are so good to us. If it weren't for you, I might never have been able to come to such a wonderful place in my life."
"That's right, that's right, Jiaojiao, you are my lucky star."
Ming Jiaojiao wore a shy smile, smugly enjoying everyone's compliments.
She subconsciously touched her hair, where a large chunk had been pulled out by Fu Zhe's parents. The pain was excruciating. One day, she would make Ming Luo pay the price and would never let Ming Luo get away with it.
"Jiaojiao, did you really see clearly that Mingluo got into a luxury car?"
"Of course! Not only did Jiaojiao see it, but I saw it too! That man is so handsome!"
"So it's true! Minglu really is having an affair. It's disgusting! How can there be a girl like that in our school?"
Ming Jiao said softly, "Alright, let's not talk about her anymore. We came here today to have fun, there's no need to waste time on her. She and that guy probably don't have that kind of relationship. When Ming Luo was hospitalized last time, that guy was by her side. Maybe he's a friend? But he must be quite rich, he took Ming Luo to the best hospital."
"So that's Mingluo's backup plan? Mingluo really has some tricks up her sleeve. She can easily seduce so many rich people. And that Nie Heng, isn't he just a rich idiot? I heard Mingluo even crashed his car, worth over four million?"
A glint of jealousy flashed in Ming Jiaojiao's eyes.
Nie Heng must be really rich, probably even richer than Jing Yan.
She waited until everyone had finished speaking before saying, "Nie Heng is spoiled by his family, isn't he?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Nie Heng suddenly stood up, threw off the curtains blocking the booths on both sides, and roared.
Ming Jiaojiao was startled, and the wine in her hand slipped, spilling all over her clothes. She never expected that Nie Heng would actually come to the Empress's place. She felt a little excited and a little embarrassed.
"Nie Heng, you... what are you doing here?"
"If I weren't here, I wouldn't have known you were so insidious and vicious, talking about Mingluo behind her back. The person who took Mingluo away was my uncle. If you dare to spread rumors, I dare to send you a lawyer's letter. Do you dare? Huh? Do you dare?"
