Chapter 69 The wife and the mistress arrived together.
Bai Guanqun smiled broadly when he saw his mother come in, but the smile immediately vanished when he saw Xu Qingmin also enter.
Song Yilin tapped Bai Guanqun on the head: "The banquet we're attending needs to show that we're a loving family of three, so you better stop making that face."
Bai Guanqun said with a wronged expression, "Oh."
She rolled her eyes at Xu Qingmin, then put on a very friendly expression.
Xu Qingmin didn't care about Bai Guanqun's attitude. Seeing that Bai Guanqun's makeup and styling were fine, he went out first.
Song Yilin pinched her daughter's cheek: "Qunqun, how can you be so rude? Can you tell me why you don't like Xu Qingmin? I don't think Xu Qingmin did anything to offend you, so why are you angry with him?"
"I don't know, I just get a little annoyed when I see him."
Song Yilin asked in surprise, "You don't seem afraid of him at all."
Bai Guanqun replied matter-of-factly, "Why should I be afraid of him?"
Song Yilin had an indescribable feeling. Bai Guanqun was unscrupulously giving Xu Qingmin the cold shoulder, confident that Xu Qingmin would not treat her badly. This kind of interaction is very common in the relationship between biological fathers and daughters.
However, this way of getting along is also good. At least the daughter won't feel wronged, and Xu Qingmin doesn't care about Bai Guanqun's attitude.
Xu Qingmin didn't treat Bai Guanqun as his own daughter, so he didn't care about Bai Guanqun's attitude. It was only because Bai Guanqun was his daughter that he couldn't treat her like his own daughter emotionally, but he could treat her 100% materially and nominally.
They walked together in the hotel corridor, and to strangers, they would have thought they were a family of three.
Today's banquet is the 70th birthday celebration of an industry leader.
Song Yilin knew that Ms. Xu would not let her off the hook by mocking her today. If it wasn't too outrageous, she would tolerate it for the sake of the host of the banquet. But if it went too far, no one's face would matter.
To Song Yilin's surprise, Wang Qianqian also came.
As soon as Bai Guanqun saw Wang Qianqian, he started greeting her.
"Qianqian, what brings you here?"
"Gu Sinan brought me here."
Song Yilin knew that Gu Sinan had brought her here, but after all, Wang Qianqian was a mistress. Wealthy families value their reputation above all else, right? Gu Sinan bringing Wang Qianqian here shows that he really doesn't take Wang Jingjing seriously.
Xu Qingmin also saw this scene and pulled Gu Sinan aside: "Why did you bring Wang Qianqian here? Where is Wang Jingjing?"
"I like it, it'll make Wang Jingjing so jealous."
"If you don't like Wang Jingjing, you can get a divorce."
"I'm not married, so why would I get a divorce?"
"You're getting married, you need to announce your relationship to the public."
"It's not the right time yet, let's wait and see."
Song Yilin thought that if Gu Sinan brought Wang Qianqian, Wang Jingjing wouldn't come, but it turned out that Wang Jingjing and Xu Qingya came together.
These two sisters-in-law have such a good relationship? They came hand in hand.
Xu Qingya was surprised that Song Yilin knew Wang Jingjing.
Seeing Song Yilin and Wang Qianqian chatting intimately, Xu Qingya asked in surprise, "Yilin, do you know Wang Qianqian?"
"Wang Qianqian, the general manager of our group's Jianghai store."
Song Yilin said to Wang Qianqian, "This is Xu Qingya, the CEO of Beiya Media."
Wang Qianqian immediately flashed a charming smile: "Hello, Mr. Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xu Qingya seems to have a strong moral compass. She looked at Wang Qianqian with a hint of disdain, but maintained her composure and nodded to her.
Wang Jingjing looked at Wang Qianqian's outfit, which was more expensive than her own as the official wife. Moreover, it was custom-made. An evening gown at this price was not something that Wang Qianqian, the general manager of a 4S store, could afford. It could only have been a gift from Gu Sinan.
As Gu Sinan's nominal wife, she never received a single gift from him. Even her wedding ring was borrowed and taken back by Gu Sinan after the wedding.
Wang Jingjing didn't dare to say anything to Wang Qianqian, but instead came over to lecture Song Yilin: "President Song, you are now President Xu's acknowledged girlfriend. How come you associate with just any Tom, Dick, or Harry? You need to be mindful of your status."
Song Yilin smiled knowingly and glanced at Xu Qingya. Xu Qingya didn't seem to be helping Wang Jingjing either. She made an excuse to get something to eat, but she didn't go far before listening intently to the commotion.
"Mrs. Gu, it's none of your business who I associate with."
“Xin’ao Group has been merged into Xu’s Group. The previous management was inadequate, and it was one thing for a mistress to become a senior executive, but now that it has been merged into Xu’s Group, this has a bad influence.”
"I had no idea that Mrs. Gu, who owns shares in the Xu family, could be so domineering in managing the Xu Group."
Wang Jingjing was so angry that she bit her gums until they broke.
"President Song, no wonder you, a widow, were able to win over President Xu. Turns out you're just as shameless."
Xu Qingmin's voice came from behind: "Gu Sinan, you either need to keep a closer eye on your wife in name, or don't let her out at all."
With a gloomy face, Gu Sinan reprimanded Wang Jingjing, "Miss Yu seems to be unaware of her place. Go back and think carefully about who you are before you come out and make a scene. Don't embarrass yourself here."
Wang Jingjing's eyes were full of tears.
Logically speaking, she wouldn't be able to attend such a banquet if Gu Sinan hadn't brought her, so there's only one possibility: Xu Qingya brought her.
Song Yilin didn't understand the relationship between the sisters-in-law in the Gu family, but Gu Sinan publicly called Wang Jingjing "Miss Yu," which showed Wang Jingjing no respect at all. Wang Jingjing must have had a very difficult time in the Gu family.
Wang Qianqian told her that before Wang Jingjing's mother married her father, her biological father was a gambler. Gu Sinan's way of addressing her should be based on Wang Jingjing's biological father's surname. This not only denies that Wang Jingjing is his wife, but also denies that Wang Jingjing is a rich heiress.
I'm finding Gu Sinan increasingly incomprehensible.
Xu Qingya probably understood something and immediately took Wang Jingjing away.
Looking at Xu Qingya's back, Song Yilin felt that Xu Qingya was doing it on purpose, or that she just wanted to see this scene happen.
Is this a war between daughters-in-law and sisters-in-law in a wealthy family?
Was he deliberately trying to make a fool of Wang Jingjing?
Gu Sinan is currently in charge of the Gu family. Xu Qingya's husband is a director who has long since faded from the center of power in the Gu family. She probably wants to help her husband fight for a share of the Gu family business.
The thought of having to deal with similar things if she married Xu Qingmin in the future gave her a headache.
Xu Qingya had just left when Xu Ming and Old Master Xu arrived.
The host of today's banquet is truly distinguished; both the Xu and Gu families, two prominent clans in Jianghai City, have come.
And the whole family came.
Without Wang Jingjing around, the crowd dispersed. Everyone in Jianghai City knew that Gu Sinan was having an affair with the two Wang sisters. The legitimate heiress was the mistress, and the stepmother's daughter was the wife. They were already a hot topic, and now they were all there together.
It's human nature to enjoy gossip, and even the upper class is no exception.
The banquet officially began, and Xu Ming held her chin high, glancing sideways at her.
They looked towards the stage and clapped in keeping with the atmosphere of the banquet.
