Zhou Lifang and Xiang Yang were as dissatisfied as Tang Yiyi. As the child's grandmother and uncle, they were also invited to attend the full moon banquet.
Since Su Man stopped supporting them, their living standards have plummeted. Seeing Su Man, dressed in all her glory and holding Chen Junjie's hand, attracting so much attention, Xiang Yang was furious. "You don't even give us living expenses, but you're flaunting yourself in such an expensive dress."
"This ungrateful woman, it's like I've raised her in vain." Zhou Lifang was indignant.
Xiang Yang was dissatisfied, "Are we just going to let her be so proud?"
"Of course not!"
Although the harsh words came out quickly, Zhou Lifang was helpless. Xiang Man used to be submissive, and she only needed to get angry or even try to kill herself to get her to obey. But since Xiang Man gave birth, she had become unyielding, and she hadn't gained any advantage in the two direct confrontations.
Suddenly, Zhou Lifang thought of something, "Hey, isn't your second aunt here too? Where is she?"
Xiangyang looked around and pointed at the woman in the dessert area who was putting candies and chocolates into her bag and said, "It's over there."
He looked at her with disdain, "Second Aunt is really something. She takes advantage of such a small advantage. Asking her to come here really lowers our standards."
Xiang Man's second aunt was a bit of a quirky character. When she was young, she was obsessed with finding a rich man. Although she wasn't very pretty, she dreamed of marrying into a wealthy family. The result was predictable. She didn't give up her dream until she was 35, amid the gossip of her neighbors, and married a divorced taxi driver.
However, my second aunt still did not calm down after marriage. She felt that she was marrying down from her parents' status. Not only did she not do housework or work, but she also often ridiculed her husband for being incompetent and squandering her second uncle's savings.
At first, my second uncle could still hold on, but later he couldn't stand it anymore and divorced her directly, resulting in her being single in her fifties now.
Although Zhou Lifang usually disdains to associate with her, she is a good helper at times like this.
She walked to her second aunt and said with a smile, "Second sister, when did you come? I didn't see you. How have you been recently?"
Second Aunt closed her bag, trying to cover up the nearly empty chocolate plate behind her. She said, "I'm still the same. But you, your daughter married into a wealthy family, you'll never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of your life."
Zhou Lifang sighed, "I wish it were just like what you said, Second Sister."
After a round of twisting right and wrong, Second Aunt's eyes widened. "There's such a thing! She doesn't even care about her own mother and brother, and she's even rebelling against her. Don't worry, I'll definitely give her a good talking to when I see her."
...
The pianist on the stage played cheerful tunes to entertain the guests, while waves of waiters, carrying trays, shuttled through the crowd.
After Su Man and Chen Junjie toasted everyone, she let go of Chen Junjie's hand.
Chen Junjie's arms suddenly loosened, and he subconsciously looked at Su Man. At this moment, she put away her polite smile, her expression was cold, and she felt a sense of alienation.
This disparity made Chen Junjie feel inexplicably lost. He wanted to do something, so he asked, "Where's the baby? Why didn't you bring him out?"
Su Man glanced at him and said, "The baby is still young, and it's too crowded and noisy here. I asked the nurse to take her to the mother and baby lounge to rest."
"I see."
Chen Junjie looked embarrassed.
If he had hit a snag in the past, he would definitely have ignored Xiang Man, but looking at the noble and cold woman in front of him, he was unwilling to leave.
Chen Junjie wanted to get closer, but Su Man didn't want to waste time with him any longer. "I'm going to go see the baby. I'm leaving first."
"Why."
Chen Junjie was unable to call out to Su Man and could only watch her walk away.
-
The mother and baby lounge was outside the banquet hall. As Su Man walked out of the banquet hall, she bumped into a man.
Su Man almost fell down in her high heels, and it was only with the other person's help that she managed to stand up. Her brows furrowed unconsciously, wanting to see who was so reckless.
Who would have thought that when I looked up, I saw a handsome face with heavy ink and color, peach blossom eyes that seemed to be half awake and half drunk, thin lips that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, a champagne glass between his fingers, and a lazy posture.
"Miss, are you okay?" A slightly hoarse male voice sounded.
He leaned forward as he spoke, invading Suman's safe distance.
Su Man took a step back without leaving a trace, "It's okay."
The man saw her defensive expression and smiled, the dimples on his lips had the strength to draw people in. "I'm Bo Qing."
Su Man raised her eyebrows.
If the Chen family is considered wealthy, then the Bo family is definitely a royal family.
The entire Bo family was very low-key, except for the youngest son, Bo Qing, who was extremely dissolute. The women around him came and went like flowing water, faster than leeks sprouting.
But the strange thing is that although he was a playboy, none of the women who left him said anything bad about him. Instead, they all praised him highly.
One socialite who had pushed back a great marriage for Bo Qing lamented that when he was with her, she'd make you feel like he was completely devoted to her, a pit you'd plunge into even if you knew it was a dangerous situation. But when it came time to break up, Bo Qing was honest and open. He never cheated, but would simply tell you, "I don't love you anymore."
Even so, there are still countless people who continue to rush forward just for that short-lived love like a blazing fire.
Su Man discreetly surveyed Bo Qing's superior face. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a child of destiny. The most rare thing about him was his playful nature, which drew people in.
Tsk tsk, Bo Qing? Bo Qing is more like Bo Qing.
Su Man was secretly complaining in her heart, but she still smiled politely, "I am Xiang Man, Chen Junjie's wife."
