A corner of the cocktail party.
Seeing that Wen Xi was quite popular with Mr. He, Xue Ziqi was very angry.
"Auntie," she hugged Zhen Yue's arm and shook it, anxiously and coquettishly saying, "How can this woman be so shameless? She actually shamelessly pestered Brother Ting Yan to bring her to the New Year's party. Brother Ting Yan, too, clearly knew that she was a spendthrift, so why did he still care about her?"
"Men, it's inevitable that they want something new, not to mention this little devil has a foxy face." Zhen Yue frowned slightly, patted Xue Ziqi's hand and said soothingly, "Don't worry, we'll naturally disperse when we get tired of playing."
"But..." Xue Ziqi was unwilling to give in. "Should we just let her pester Brother Ting Yan like this? What if they don't break up?"
"No." Zhen Yue said with certainty.
She thought about it for a long time during this period and finally figured it out. There was no way these two people could be together.
"real?"
"Well, this little demon's father, in a quest for power, schemed to have his own brother killed. The entire upper-class community knows that the three of them were expelled from the Wen family. My son has always hated people who do whatever it takes for personal gain. How could he possibly accept such a man as his father-in-law? Unless he doesn't even care about his own reputation, or the reputation of the He family! He's just playing around."
"But Brother Tingyan just brought her to Grandpa He, and Grandpa He was very kind to that woman..."
"It's just a courtesy. Somehow, the painting she drew of my mother-in-law caught the old man's eye. You know that. I heard that she didn't take a penny for the painting to please the old man. It's no big deal that the old man is giving her a favor now."
"That's what Auntie said."
When talking about this, Xue Ziqi's face became so gloomy that water seemed to drip out.
I'm such a good painter, having learned the art from my grandfather since I was young. But I didn't expect that the old man didn't like my trial painting. He's really blind.
"This woman is so scheming. She's really going to any lengths to marry Brother Ting Yan."
Xue Ziqi glanced fiercely at Wen Xi who was resting on the terrace.
Although she also thought at the time that if she was selected, she would not accept a penny to please the old man.
"Aunt, Grandpa He wouldn't really fall for her trick, would he? Just now, when Sister Ruolin and I went to get some snacks, we heard those old guys talking about how they were a perfect match."
Thinking of the few words he had just overheard, Xue Ziqi became very worried.
"It's just a joke by the old man. These people always like to talk nonsense. They rely on the few battles they have fought and act like they are insignificant. They are rude and disrespectful. Don't pay any attention to them."
Zhen Yue glanced with disdain at the old people who were chatting and laughing over there, and didn't take Xue Ziqi's words to heart.
At this time, Cheng Ruolin, who had been standing nearby without saying much, shook the wine glass in her hand and said softly, "Aunt Zhen, it seems to me that they didn't seem to be joking just now."
"You're not kidding?" Zhen Yue frowned when she heard Cheng Ruolin's words. "Why do you say that?"
"What people are thinking will be revealed in their eyes and actions. I just saw Grandpa He's expression, and he couldn't hide his admiration for that girl. And Ting Yan, aside from work requirements, rarely interacts with the opposite sex year-round. He never brings a female companion to banquets. Today is the first time, and the two of them are acting so intimately, it seems their relationship is very special."
"Sister Ruolin, you are right. It seems that Wen Xi is really very capable. She can even fool Grandpa He and Brother Ting Yan around. Aunt, it seems that we really underestimated her before!" Xue Ziqi said angrily.
