Jiang Jiang stood with her back to Yu Sheng. Yu Sheng couldn't see her expression, but she could see Xu Shao's expression.
She clearly saw Xu Shao's surprised expression when he saw Jiang Jiang, as if he hadn't expected Jiang Jiang to appear here.
Could it be that Jiang Jiang didn't tell Xu Shao about bringing Jiang Xue here?
As she was thinking this, Xu Shao stepped forward again, stood in front of Jiang Jiang, and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Xu Shao appeared calm on the surface, but he was actually very nervous inside. In contrast, Jiang Jiang was much more composed.
She glanced at Jiang Xue, then looked back at Yu Sheng: "Xue Xue wanted to give Miss Yu a surprise, so I didn't tell you that we were coming. I mainly wanted to give you a surprise too!"
She defused the situation with a single sentence, and Yu Sheng found it extremely reasonable.
"That's quite a surprise!"
The 'surprise' in Xu Shao's words clearly refers to another layer of emotion.
He didn't say anything more to Jiang Jiang, walked past her, and handed the flowers to Yu Sheng, saying, "Miss Yu, President Gu asked me to deliver these flowers to you to wish you a successful performance."
Yu Sheng took the flowers from Xu Shao's hand. "Is your mother feeling better?"
A hint of unease flashed deep in Xu Shao's eyes. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Yu. I'm fine now."
"That's good."
"Then you go ahead with your work, we'll be going now."
"Um!"
Yu Sheng didn't immediately return to the lounge, but instead kept a close eye on the three people's departing figures.
Jiang Jiang was walking in the middle, with Xu Shao on her left and Jiang Xue on her right.
She walked next to Jiang Xue, keeping a two-fist distance between herself and Xu Shao, as if both of them were deliberately keeping their distance.
Does this mean that Xu Shao knows about Jiang Jiang's affair?
They were just pretending to have a normal conversation in front of her, only because they didn't want her to notice anything amiss.
That makes sense, but Jiang Xue's attitude towards Xu Shao is a bit strange.
Jiang Xue is Jiang Jiang's younger sister. Logically speaking, she must have met Xu Shao before, but she acted as if she didn't recognize him.
Or perhaps she had never met Xu Shao?
If she hadn't met Xu Shao, Jiang Jiang would definitely have introduced her to him, but she didn't. Why is that?
When Yu Sheng was puzzled, he received a call from Yu Jing.
"Your uncle and I have arrived, along with Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Sheng. You're not busy, come and meet everyone!"
If it's just a simple matter of meeting everyone, Yu Sheng would naturally be happy to do so.
After all, they were all there to support her.
But she knew Yu Jing too well. Yu Jing's intention in asking her to go out wasn't just to meet everyone, but to show off how outstanding her daughter was.
Unable to refuse, she could only endure the discomfort and obediently say, "I'll go right now!"
In the lobby, Yu Jing hung up the phone and said to Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Guo, and Mrs. Sheng, "Sheng Sheng will be here soon, please wait a moment."
While waiting for Yu Sheng, the ladies chatted idly.
Mrs. Sheng, Sheng Ning's mother: "We came on our own. Mrs. Shang and her husband were picked up by their son-in-law. People with sons-in-law are indeed different from us!"
Mrs. Guo, Guo Xuchuan's mother, said, "It's not that their son-in-law is different from ours; it's that they found a good son-in-law!"
Mrs. Xie, mother of Xie Nanzhou: "These days, it's hard to find a son-in-law like Gu Ye even with a lantern. Mrs. Shang, you are so lucky. Gu Ye is not only good to Sheng Sheng, but also filial to you!"
Because Yu Jing was married into a wealthy family twice and her own family wasn't well-off, she never felt confident in the social circle of wives until Yu Sheng and Gu Ye confirmed their relationship, at which point she finally stood up straight!
When the wives of wealthy families get together, they flatter each other. Although it's all just polite talk, Yu Jing finds it particularly comforting to listen to.
She smiled and said, "Whether Gu Ye is filial to me or not is not important, as long as he treats Sheng Sheng well."
Mrs. Guo: "Gu Ye is willing to risk his life for your Yu Sheng. That's beyond what you can describe as good. Oh, by the way, I heard from my Xu Chuan that Yu Sheng's performance outfit tonight was specially ordered by Gu Ye from Lebanon."
Yu Jing was very happy that Mrs. Guo knew about this, otherwise it would have sounded like she was showing off, even though she really wanted to!
Yu Jing nodded with a smile: "The dress seems to have just arrived in Beijing this morning. As soon as I got off the plane, I had someone deliver it to my home!"
"Gu Ye really cares about Sheng Sheng's affairs. If my Ning Ning finds a son-in-law who cares about her even half as much as Gu Ye does, I'll be burning incense in gratitude!"
Mrs. Xie felt a little embarrassed by what Mrs. Sheng said. Not only did the young ladies and gentlemen in the circle know that Sheng Ning liked Xie Nanzhou, but the older generation also knew. Mrs. Xie liked Sheng Ning very much, but unfortunately, her son... sigh!
When the atmosphere became a little awkward, Yu Sheng arrived.
When Yu Jing saw that she wasn't wearing the haute couture Gu Ye had bought for her from Lebanon, but rather an old dress, she immediately felt a little displeased. After all, she had just mentioned it to the other ladies...
But she still asked Yu Sheng in a gentle and smiling voice, "Why aren't you wearing the dress Gu Ye bought for you?"
Although Yu Shenggang hadn't heard Yu Jing's conversation with the three ladies, she guessed what they were thinking from the way they looked at her. She didn't say much, only saying, "Change before going on stage!"
No one knows a daughter better than her mother!
Yu Jing could tell at a glance that Yu Sheng was lying!
She naturally wouldn't expose her in front of the three ladies, but instead smiled and said to them, "This child is thoughtful. She was afraid that changing beforehand would get her clothes dirty, so she changed them just before going on stage!"
Just as she finished speaking, Gu Ye and Shang Shichang walked over. Gu Ye heard what Yu Jing said, put his arm around Yu Sheng's slender waist, and said, "I thought you didn't like it!"
Gu Ye's touch made Yu Sheng uncomfortable, but she couldn't shake off his arm around her waist in front of everyone, so she said perfunctorily, "Why would I?"
