A lake blue, one-shoulder tulle dress!
Yu Jing immediately recognized it as a Lebanese brand. Surprised and delighted, she lifted the skirt and held it up against Yu Sheng, saying:
"This color and style really suit you. Gu Ye really put a lot of thought into it. I heard that choosing this brand's haute couture isn't something you can just buy with money. If you wear this dress on stage today, you'll probably be the most eye-catching person in your team. Go up and change so I can have a good look at you!"
Yu Sheng lowered her eyes and looked at the dress that Yu Jing had stuffed into her hands, saying, "I won't try it on, there's no time!"
Although the performance was in the evening, the team usually still had to rehearse before the actual performance to be on the safe side. Yu Jing knew this, so she didn't force Yu Sheng.
“Then don’t wear it. If you wear it now and the three of us see it, we won’t have that ‘wow’ feeling tonight. Sister Wang, could you find a better bag?”
When Sister Wang went to find the bag, Shang Shichang looked at Shang Yan, who was holding a dress in Yu Sheng's hand, and asked, "Tonight is Sheng Sheng's first time performing on stage as a group. Your Aunt Jing and I rushed back to see her perform. You should go tonight too!"
Shang Shichang spoke the last sentence in a commanding tone, but Shang Yan replied in a nonchalant tone, "We'll see..."
"What do you mean 'we'll talk about it later'? You don't even have time to find a girlfriend, and you don't even have time to see your sister's performance? Let me tell you, you have to go today, or don't come back on New Year's Day!"
To support Yu Sheng, Yu Jing not only went with Shang Shichang, but also invited several ladies who often had afternoon tea and played cards together. Therefore, if Shang Yan didn't go today, it would be equivalent to embarrassing her in front of those ladies.
Tomorrow, word will definitely spread in the circle that Shang Yan doesn't care about her, his stepmother and nominal sister, at all.
Therefore, Yu Jing also hoped that Shang Yan would go.
But she couldn't say it outright, so she smiled and said, "Shichang, that's not reasonable of you to say that. Ayan manages the entire group company, so of course he's busy."
Yu Jing comforted Shang Shichang, then said to Shang Yan, "Yan, don't listen to your dad's nonsense. He's the only one who can't bear to not let you come back!"
Here's what we'll do: I'll have Yu Sheng reserve a ticket for you. Come if you have time, otherwise, we can talk about it at her next performance. Besides your dad and me, I've also invited a few ladies. There will be plenty of people to support us..."
As the saying goes: the marketplace is like a battlefield!
At the age of twenty-eight, Shang Yan was able to secure a place in the cutthroat business world. How could he not see through Yu Jing's little tricks?
On the surface, her words sounded beautiful, but they actually concealed a hidden meaning.
She asked Yu Sheng to save her a ticket, and said that she had invited several wives to support her, which was enough to make him feel like an outsider.
Shang Yan didn't say much, just smiled, and then gave Yu Jing an ambiguous answer: "It's good that there are many people supporting us!"
Yu Jing's smile froze, and she didn't say anything more.
Just then, Sister Wang, who had been looking for the bag, returned.
"Madam, how about this bag?"
"Can!"
Yu Jing took the bag from Sister Wang and carefully packed the dress inside. When she handed it to Yu Sheng, she noticed that Yu Sheng was still carrying an old dress, so she said, "Don't bring the old one, just leave it at home!"
Yu Sheng glanced at the old dress in the bag in her hand and said, "Take a spare one, just in case."
Yu Jing: "Okay!"
"Then I'm leaving!"
After speaking with Yu Jing, Yu Sheng looked at Shang Shichang and Shang Yan and said, "Uncle, brother, I'm leaving now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shang Yan stood up and said, "I should probably go to work too, I'm leaving!"
After Shang Yan finished speaking, he took the lead and walked past Yu Sheng towards the outside of the house.
If Yu Sheng leaves now, it means she will leave with him, and it means she will be alone with him!
That's not what she wanted!
So, for a moment, she stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay!
Yu Sheng was thinking about making an excuse to say she forgot something and went upstairs to get it when Shang Yan, who was striding past her, suddenly turned around and looked at her, asking, "Aren't you leaving?"
Shang Yan's sudden question interrupted Yu Sheng's train of thought. In her nervousness, she forgot her own thoughts and blurted out, "Let's go!"
After she finished speaking, as if afraid that Shang Yan would notice something, she quickly walked out of the house.
The two left the villa one after the other.
Although Yu Sheng was reluctant to face Shang Yan, out of politeness, she stopped and looked at him, saying, "Brother, I'll get in the car first." She said this because her car was parked right outside the door.
Shang Yan responded indifferently.
As Yu Sheng opened the car door and got in, Shang Yan said in a tone as if he had just remembered something, "Oh right, don't forget to save me a ticket!"
Shang Yan knew that Yu Jing wanted Yu Sheng to save tickets for him, and so did Yu Sheng. She thought he wouldn't go because he had just given Yu Jing an ambiguous answer, but now that he was asking her for tickets, did that mean he was going?
Yu Sheng thought so, but didn't ask any more questions. She just obediently said "okay" and drove away.
Just as she left the residential area, a Continental SUV drove out from behind her car and then passed by her.
That's Shang Yan's car!
As Yu Sheng watched the car drive away, she couldn't help but wonder: Does he still remember what happened last night?
When she came downstairs and saw him, she paid special attention to his reaction. His reaction was no reaction. Could it be that he didn't remember?
She had no way of knowing, because that person was very well hidden, and she couldn't see through him at all!
But even if he remembers, he probably won't mention it to anyone, including her!
After all, what he did was somewhat absurd!
