Julie lowered her eyes, not wanting Edward to see her jealousy, but Edward, in his cleverness, misunderstood her and thought she was sad.
"Darling, you dance much better than Basha. In my heart, you are the best angel."
Edward offered heartwarming comfort, but his disgust for Basha only intensified. Anyone who upset his little angel was a bad person—this was Edward's standard for judging good and bad people; his intelligence must have been completely wasted.
Julie smiled sweetly, looking very satisfied, but she said, "I never knew my sister was such a good dancer. I've never seen her dance before!"
Edward scoffed, "People like her are the best at pretending, and they're too cunning."
Julie's eyes flashed with smugness. The noble prince was so well-behaved and obedient under her control. So what if Princess Luo didn't like her? She didn't really want to marry Edward, that fool. He was just a half-blood prince. How could she possibly be interested in him!
She and Edward went to the rest area, where Ye Qingqing and Roger were also there, as was Gongsun Yao. Her dance partner had invited another girl to dance, and Gongsun Yao was probably not his type.
Ye Qingqing looked at Julie in surprise. The itching powder was ineffective against this bitch. She had miscalculated.
She thought Julie had the antidote, after all, she was Ji Wuxin's granddaughter and should have some knowledge of pharmacology. And that was pretty much the case. When Julie's arm started to itch, she knew she had been poisoned by the itching powder. Ji Wuxin had told her about this powder before and knew that the most effective way to relieve itching powder was to wash it off with water.
That's why she went to the bathroom immediately to wash off the powder on her arm, and the itching disappeared.
"Good evening, Miss Ye. It's nice to see you again." Julie greeted her with a smile and praised her without reservation. "I never expected that Miss Ye was the owner of this mysterious dress. I thought it was Yao'er before, since the dress was made by Mr. Gongsun!"
Gongsun Yao's expression changed slightly, but she quickly smiled again. "Julie, you're joking. If it were a dress for me, how could I not tell you? I even mistook it for my cousin's. I never expected it to be Miss Ye. It seems my great-grandfather and Miss Ye have a very good relationship!"
Ye Qingqing sneered inwardly. She had entered a den of sluts, and each one was more slutty than the last, and they were all incredibly cunning.
One is a lotus-patterned watch, the other is a cute watch; yet, blind men seem to prefer both.
"So you're Gongsun Gui's sister. You two don't look alike at all!" Ye Qingqing retorted, neither too soft nor too hard.
Don't think she didn't understand Gongsun Yao's subtext. For a girl with no power or influence to have a tycoon like Gong Yi bypass his own great-granddaughter to order an exorbitantly priced dress for her, it's obvious that their relationship is special!
If Gongsun Yao said that to her in person, tomorrow's newspapers would definitely say that she was a materialistic girl who gave herself to a dying old man for money. Even if she won the princess crown at the ball, her reputation would be ruined.
Hmph, Gongsun Yao's thoughts are not much better than Julie's. No wonder they seem to get along well; they're cut from the same cloth.
Gongsun Yao's expression changed again. Her biggest regret was her figure. She hadn't inherited the tall stature of the Gongsun family at all. Among so many cousins, she was the only short one. Her appearance was also ordinary. Compared to Gongsun Gui's handsome appearance, she looked like someone picked up from the street.
“I look like my mom, and my brother looks like my dad. Everyone says we siblings don’t look alike.” Gongsun Yao covered her mouth and chuckled, looking both cute and charming. She then asked, “Miss Ye, how did you meet my great-grandfather? I’m really curious!”
