Volume 1, Chapter 123: War
Xie Qingyi was very pleased with their compliments, and she was smiling and very proud.
"That's natural."
Seeing Xie Qingyi looking so proud, Qiao Weiwei suddenly frowned and said in embarrassment: "But I seem to have heard that Jiang Qiansui's mother also wants to wear this dress. It's all my fault for not thinking carefully. It's such a pity."
Xie Qingyi's face instantly fell when he heard this.
"You said Jiang Qiansui's mother also wants to wear the same dress? It's really unlucky."
Xie Qingyi was extremely gloomy. She liked this dress very much. But she didn't expect Yang Huirong to wear it too. She was really mad.
"Damn Yang Huirong, she has the guts to wear this dress with her figure, how shameless."
At this time, Yan Lan helped out: "Mom, isn't it such a pity? You look so beautiful in this dress, but she can't wear it. Yang Huirong can't wear it as gracefully as you do."
Xie Qingyi's expression finally eased.
Qiao Weiwei also chimed in: "Mrs. Zhan, you look so good in this dress. Actually, I don't think it's a big deal to wear the same clothes as someone else. After all, Mrs. Zhan, you have such a great figure. This dress looks like it was tailor-made for you."
"Yes, that's right. It's not embarrassing to wear the same clothes as others. It's embarrassing to be ugly. Mom, I think you should not change clothes. Just wear this dress. When we get to the banquet, let Yang Huirong change clothes."
When Xie Qingyi heard this, his expression changed immediately.
"That's right. Why did she see me wearing the same dress as me when I changed my clothes? She thought she looked so ugly. Didn't she know to change her clothes quickly? Besides, Jiang Qiansui is the daughter-in-law of our Zhan family. Her mother wore the same clothes as me, which offended me. She had to take her mother to change her clothes!"
Xie Qingyi's mood suddenly became very good, and she couldn't wait to suppress Jiang Qiansui and Yang Huirong.
"That's right. Even if Yang Huirong wears the same clothes as Mom, she should be the one to change clothes."
"Let's go to the party. I can't wait to see her embarrassed, to see her change clothes, to see her being criticized. Let's go."
After Xie Qingyi finished speaking, she wanted to go to the banquet venue in high spirits. She couldn't wait to see Yang Huirong, to see her wearing the same clothes as her, her shocked expression, and her dejected look as she went to change her clothes.
After taking a few steps, I found that she didn't catch up with me. Qiao Weiwei didn't catch up with me.
"Weiwei, why don't you follow me?"
"Mrs. Zhan, I'd better not go. It's not good for someone like me who has no name or status to go with you."
Xie Qingyi frowned and said, "What do you mean by nameless and without status? You are a meritorious official of our Zhan family. You are going to the Jiang family to give them face. Come with me."
Xie Qingyi asked Qiao Weiwei to go with her, and Qiao Weiwei followed reluctantly.
The dinner party was held in the top-class hotel in Country A.
When Xie Qingyi appeared, everyone's attention was attracted by her dress and jewelry.
"Mrs. Zhan, this dress of yours is the new model of this season from L's house. You look no worse than those little girls in it."
"What little girl? You are comparing Madam Zhan with those people."
"The little girl doesn't have the nobility of Madam Zhan."
"Mrs. Zhan's jewelry necklace is so luxurious."
The rich ladies and noble ladies came up to compliment Mrs. Zhan.
"Your clothes are really nice."
"Mrs. Zhan, you are naturally noble."
"Of course, clothes also depend on who wears them."
At this time, someone was heard saying, "Mrs. Jiang is here."
Jiang Qiansui wore a white strapless dress that set off her beautiful figure, but what attracted everyone's attention was her mother.
Her mother, Yang Huirong, was wearing a champagne-colored evening gown. As she walked slowly towards them, she was so beautiful that it took one's breath away.
"Mrs. Zhan, what high-end luxury brand's couture dress is that I've never seen before? It's so beautiful."
"You're right, this dress is stunning. The style looks a bit like that of the most mysterious designer, Mei."
After noticing that everyone's attention was attracted by Xie Qingyi, she glared at Qiao Weiwei fiercely and said, "Didn't you say that she was wearing the same clothes as me?"
Yang Huirong's figure is not as tall as Xie Qingyi's. If they were really wearing the same dress, it would definitely not stand out, but Yang Huirong's dress plays to her strengths and avoids her weaknesses.
It sets off Yang Huirong's facial features, making them even more delicate and noble.
Although Yang Huirong's figure is not as good as that of a runner, her appearance has nothing to do with it in the middle term, she is definitely one in a hundred.
Yang Huirong was not someone who liked to show off. Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her and everyone was amazed at her, she felt a little nervous, but Jiang Qiansui held her hand tightly and said, "Mom, don't be afraid. These are what you should have."
Yang Huirong was slightly stunned when she heard him say.
"Look at the light in my father's eyes."
The person standing at the bottom of the stairs at this moment is Jiang Zhengguo.
He stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at the woman who had been with him for most of his life. Although they had quarreled for most of their lives, they had never thought of separating.
Yang Huirong and Jiang Qiansui walked down slowly. Jiang Zhengguo reached out and held Yang Huirong's hand in his, kissed the back of her hand gently, and said softly, "Happy birthday."
Yang Huirong replied softly: "Thank you!"
"Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang have such a good relationship. It's really enviable."
What everyone was paying attention to at the moment was the relationship between Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo, not the brick-sized gem necklace on Xie Qingyi's chest. Xie Qingyi was very angry. She didn't expect that her jewelry would become insignificant in front of their marital relationship and no one paid attention to it.
Xie Qingyi was very angry, staring at Yan Lan and said, "You said she had good taste. How good can a poor bastard's taste be?"
Yan Lan was also confused. It was clearly she who asked Qiao Weiwei to help her choose a dress, so how could it be her fault?
Qiao Weiwei was also standing behind him, feeling very embarrassed. She had clearly found out that Yang Huirong had ordered a dress from a high-end brand to wear at her birthday party, and she had deliberately recommended the same one to Xie Qingyi. Why did she suddenly change it?
She wanted to create a conflict between the two of them, but now her plan has failed.
Jiang Qiansui was on the stage, looking at the expressions on the three of them, feeling very happy, wondering why they had to wear the same clothes, right? They wanted to embarrass her mother in public, so she would protect her mother in this life.
"Mrs. Jiang, you are so lucky. President Jiang loves and cares for you so much, and your daughter married Zhan Yanxun. I heard that your birthday dinner was prepared by Zhan Yanxun."
"Yes, this was arranged for me by my son-in-law. He is very filial to me."
"Mrs. Jiang, you are so blessed."
Xie Qingyi said disdainfully: "It's a great relationship, but no matter how great the relationship is, there will still be illegitimate children, right?"
