"Isn't this the female companion that Young Master Nan brought to the cocktail party today?"
A group of rich ladies who were gathered together chatting saw Zhu Jue drinking alone in the corner.
"What do you think happened to Master Nan? He used to have no women around him. Now he not only got a wife, but also brought another one with him."
"I heard from others that this is Master Nan's sister-in-law. Master Nan is currently separating from his wife."
"No way. He's separated from his wife and brought his sister-in-law to the party? Could it be that the separation is because of his sister-in-law?"
"Who says it isn't?"
The wealthy ladies all laughed in an ambiguous tone, their minds full of melodramatic plots of sisters-in-law seducing their brothers-in-law.
"I think so. Otherwise, why would he bring his sister-in-law to such an important occasion?"
"What's wrong with Young Master Nan? Back then, so many rich daughters wanted to marry into the Nan family. But he rejected all of them. Who would have thought that after so much selection, he would choose the daughter of a nouveau riche."
"Yeah. I heard that Madam Nan was a paparazzi before she got married."
"Paparazzi is fine. It's a legitimate job after all." One of the ladies pointed at Zhu Jue and said, "Do you know what this is for?"
"What do you do?" everyone asked.
"An actress... an 18th-tier actress at that..." the wife said, "My husband said he saw her at a dinner party before."
"Is this true?"
Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this. No one took Zhu Jue seriously anymore. They all gathered together, isolating Zhu Jue to one side.
"Look at her alluring face." Because there are so many love affairs between rich men and celebrities, rich wives have always disliked female celebrities. "Young Master Nan is really blind."
"That's right. She's not even as good as my old wife."
…
"Let's go." After finishing his conversation with Xie Jiashu, Nan Xun found Zhu Jue who had been ignored for a whole night.
"Brother-in-law." Zhu Jue said softly, "My feet hurt so much, these shoes are a bit tight."
After Zhu Jue finished speaking, he fell on Nan Xun, looking as soft as a boneless person.
The scent of perfume that Nanxun couldn't stand came from Zhu Jue. He remembered sleeping with Zhu Zhu in the old house. Zhu Zhu only had a light body odor, never such a strong perfume.
"Can you walk?" Nan Xun helped Zhu Jue up and pushed her away.
Zhu Jue's hand wrapped around Nan Xun's arm like a water snake and said, "Brother-in-law, just hold me and we can walk."
Nan Xun kept silent with a cold face. If she wasn't still somewhat useful, he would have thrown her out.
"Let's go." Nan Xun said lightly.
…
After the cocktail party, Lin Qiao was already waiting at the door in his car.
Nan Xun stuffed Zhu Jue into the car and said to Lin Qiao, "Send Zhu Jue back."
"Brother-in-law!" Zhu Jue saw Nan Xun about to leave and immediately stopped him, "Where are you going?"
Nan Xun frowned and coldly brushed away Zhu Jue's hand.
"Don't you have a sore foot?" Nan Xun said, "I had an appointment and was going to ask you to come with me. But forget it since your foot hurts. I won't force you. Lin Qiao, drive."
After Nanxun finished speaking, he closed the car door and turned to leave.
Zhu Jue was about to open the door and chase after him, but Lin Qiao had already locked the back seat, and Zhu Jue couldn't open it. He could only let Lin Qiao drive away.
"Miss Zhu, are you going home?"
In the car, Lin Qiao deliberately asked Zhu Jue through the rearview mirror.
Zhu Jue was so upset about being dumped by Nan Xun that he forgot to pretend for a moment. He spit out two words fiercely: "Go home!"
Lin Qiao felt a chill on the back of his neck. Although this woman was related to Zhu Zhu by blood, her character was far worse. Not even half as good as Zhu Zhu's.
