Chapter 507: The Vanity Fair
At 7:40, the two couples met at the south gate of Rongbaoxuan. When Yan Nuo saw Xu Ziyue's outfit, his eyes lit up and he immediately praised her: "She looks even better than what I saw on the phone. As expected, my Yueyue is not photogenic!"
"You too, the light in your closet is warm. When I saw you putting on makeup, I thought you were wearing heavy makeup. Now it seems I was the one who was worried."
Yan Nuo wore a one-shoulder black and white slim-fitting dress, like a proud black swan, with her bangs hanging down and her hair tied into a low ponytail at the back in a seemingly casual bun. She looked bright in her abstinence. Against the backdrop of such an outfit, her eyes were watery, and she looked at the trash can with deep affection.
"He has been following me all the way, Yan Xiaonuo. Your vision can really attract my Mr. Shen." When Yan Nuo pushed Xu Ziyue into the stone gate of Rongbaoxuan, Xu Ziyue lowered her voice and spoke in a tone that only they could hear clearly.
Yan Nuo chuckled and retorted: "What an idiot! Brother Shi An doesn't like your dressing style, but your beauty. No matter how you dress, his eyes will only follow you, because..."
"Why?" Xu Ziyue waited for the next words with curiosity and confusion.
Yan Nuo smiled and deliberately slowed down his speech: "Because Brother Shi An is a love-brained person and loves you so much."
Xu Ziyue: "..."
"What are they talking about, Shangbei, aren't you curious?" Seeing his wife and best friend walking in front and whispering, Shen Shian had the urge to join in, but Fu Shangbei beside him was indifferent and calm, and he was too embarrassed to go up alone.
"There's no point in being curious. They have so many secrets. I'm used to it." Fu Shangbei said lightly.
"Alas, Zi Yue and I have just been married for a short time and have not yet adapted to this feeling." Shen Shi'an was anxious and quite envious of Fu Shangbei's indifference at the moment.
Fu Shangbei curled his lips slightly. In fact, he was not used to this feeling, but there was nothing he could do. His best friend grew up together and had a deep relationship with him. It would be ungenerous to be jealous of her openly.
Both men held the status of imperial concubines, but possessed the magnanimity of concubines. Fortunately, upon entering Rongbaoxuan, they saw many strangers. Yan Nuo automatically returned to Fu Shangbei's side, followed by Lin Yuan. Shen Shian's assistant came behind Xu Ziyue, pushing her wheelchair. Shen Shian stood beside her. The six of them followed the arrows into the Rongbaoxuan garden, where the auction took place. Amidst the pavilions and terraces stood a Chinese-style house, the auction venue.
As soon as Fu Shangbei and Shen Shi'an entered the house, the people inside came over to greet them. The two men immediately raised their arms and placed them on their wives' sides (either around their waists or shoulders), and introduced the identities of the women in a straightforward manner.
After Yan Nuo started working, her eyes became more sharp and steady. Standing next to Fu Shangbei, she looked like a gorgeous rose covered in morning dew, embodying the aura of a matriarch. After Fu Shangbei finished introducing her, everyone nodded to Yan Nuo and said, "Hello, Mrs. Fu."
Yan Nuo responded with a faint smile, just right.
Xu Ziyue saw her best friend's behavior and knew that she was not like this in private, but she was willing to show her social side in such occasions. Courage and confidence grew in her heart, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she sat lazily in the wheelchair to greet every glance.
Her indifference and her husband's blatant preference for her changed the attitude of people around her from confused scrutiny to heartfelt respect.
"Everyone says that Young Master Shen's wife comes from a humble background, with her family making a living running a small coffee shop. But after meeting her today, I discovered she's completely different from the timid, humble, and unpresentable image the rumors suggest. She's incredibly beautiful, no wonder Young Master Shen fell for her. Furthermore, even though she's injured and confined to a wheelchair, she's so openly out there in her wheelchair with Young Master Shen, and there's no hint of flattery in her eyes. I really admire her."
"You said it was just a rumor. Young Master Shen is talented and handsome. I heard he was a soldier before joining the Shen Group. How could a man with such good conditions not have romantic partners? But in the end, Mrs. Shen, an ordinary woman whose family runs a coffee shop, became the winner. Those who lost must be feeling unconvinced. You are not unaware of what some people in our circle will do when they feel unconvinced."
"I know all too well. I was also subjected to rumors when I was young. Mrs. Shen is truly resilient and someone you can get along with."
"The same is true for Mrs. Fu, who is next to her. Mrs. Fu's family is much better off than Mrs. Shen's. She owns a jewelry company, and my sister-in-law likes to buy her jewelry. At that jewelry exhibition, the sofa she used to entertain guests was worth over 100 million yuan."
The interactions between the ladies are not only based on common interests, but also on mutual assistance in interests. They are not only attracted by Yan Nuo and Xu Ziyue's temperament of "not pleasing anyone", but also their abilities.
These two women who defeated many socialites in Jinghai and achieved class advancement did not exude the slightest sense of weakness of being "easy to be bullied". It is conceivable that they are not simple people.
"Did you hear that? Buddha relies on gold ornaments, and people rely on clothes." As they sat down, Yan Nuo smiled and whispered to Xu Ziyue.
Xu Ziyue nodded slightly. It was indeed true that the world of fame and fortune could train people. After coming here, she was directly stimulated to burst out with courage!
Just then, they noticed a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Why is Jiang Ruoyu here?"
