Chapter 83 Super Clingy
After greeting Mr. Gu, the others came forward one after another and started chatting eagerly, all wanting to make themselves familiar with Shang Yanci.
The people around only greeted Pei Yuning politely at the beginning, and then stopped talking to her. After all, Shang Yanci was standing next to her, and if she said a few more words, it would become intentional.
Pei Yuning was bored and turned on the idle mode. She didn't listen to what others said. She was thinking about the cream mushroom soup that her grandfather made in the evening.
Because she had to wear a cheongsam, she only drank half a bowl. She missed it very much at the moment. To satisfy her craving, she could only drink a few more sips of red wine to temporarily suppress her greed.
Shang Yanci chatted calmly with the people around him, and from time to time he lowered his eyes to look at Pei Yuning and the wine glass in her hand.
The alcohol content of this red wine was high. There were many people standing around at this moment. If he asked Pei Yuning to drink less, she would definitely be unhappy. At least in front of outsiders, he had to give her enough face. What to do in private was another matter. He knew this very well, so he kept silent.
Pei Yuning was wearing ten-centimeter high heels today. Her ankles would get sore and tired easily after standing for a long time, and she was already feeling the pain.
Glancing at the ladies sitting on the sofa, she immediately felt that all the men present were crazy (except her husband, of course). Why did they have to stand and talk all the time? Were they comparing heights?
"Sorry, wait a moment." Shang Yanci politely interrupted the person who was speaking and said to Pei Yuning in a gentle voice, "Madam's heels are too high. Go sit on the sofa for a while. You don't have to accompany me."
Pei Yuning actually stood there for less than ten minutes, so it couldn't be considered "accompanying" or "specially".
She didn't sit on the sofa because she didn't want to deal with the meaningless social activities of those ladies. Although they couldn't stand her, they had to flatter her on the surface, which was hypocritical and annoying.
The people around him were all alone, so he couldn't help but flatter: "Boss Pei and Boss Shang have a really good relationship."
Shang Yanci's eyebrows softened: "We are newlyweds."
What people around him heard: Because it’s a newlywed relationship, things feel new and the relationship is good during this period.
Pei Yuning understood the meaning of the words: Shang Yanci had said before that they were "like a newlywed every day", so their relationship would always be good.
Shang Yanci patted Pei Yuning's lower back with an intimate gesture and a gentle tone: "I will come to accompany Madam in a while."
Pei Yuning said "hmm" and walked towards the nearest sofa. If she stayed next to Shang Yanci, others might think she was a super clingy person. It was obviously Shang Yanci who was the one, but he actually "turned the tables". How annoying!
The ladies stood up one after another and gave Pei Yuning the middle seat on the sofa.
"Thank you." Pei Yuning sat on the sofa and slowly stepped on his ankles.
Last time at Mr. Shang's birthday party, Pei Yuning stayed with Song Qingyi the whole time. Even if the young ladies wanted to flatter Pei Yuning, they didn't dare to get close to her. After all, everyone present (except Pei Yuning, of course) had been scolded and made to cry by Song Qingyi. Although it was only once per person, they are still scared.
There was silence for a moment, and then someone started talking.
"The eldest lady's wedding ring is so beautiful. I have never seen a red diamond of such fine quality before."
"Not only have I never seen it before, I had only heard of pure red diamonds before. Later, when I saw the one in the young lady's hand, I went back and checked and found out that red diamonds with purple tones are the most expensive and precious. There are not even 20 carats in the world, but the one the young lady is wearing is as big as 5 carats."
"The one in Mr. Shang's hand is only three carats. It shows that he loves Miss Zhong very much and puts you first in everything."
"Isn't Mr. Shang's butterfly brooch also to match the color of the eldest lady's beaded cheongsam and the butterfly on the diamond earrings? How sweet!"
Pei Yuning listened to the people around her asking and answering their own questions. Without her cooperation, they set up the stage and started performing.
They brought up Shang Yanci in a few words without any sense of boundaries, as if they would not say anything nice without mentioning Shang Yanci.
Some of them were from the screenshots Song Qingyi sent her that day, in which she fantasized about Shang Yanci the most, called him "husband" the most, and hoped that she and Shang Yanci would divorce immediately so that she could take his place as the second-married sister.
Pei Yuning listened to their words as if they were laughing at a joke, occasionally exchanging glances. It was interesting that their flattery became more fluent.
The phone in Shang Yanci's pocket vibrated slightly. The person who could have sent him a message at this moment could only be Gu Yu, so he made an excuse to leave, glanced in Pei Yuning's direction, spread his long legs, and walked towards the bathroom on the right.
Pei Yuning saw Shang Yanci's back out of the corner of her eye. Before she could look away, she saw a lady on the sofa next to her lift up her skirt and walk towards Shang Yanci in high heels.
If she remembered correctly, the restrooms in Shengshi Huating were separated for men and women, located in opposite directions, one on the left and one on the right.
Pei Yuning withdrew his gaze without caring and lowered his eyes to look at the beautiful manicure he had just done on his fingertips.
Shang Yanci opened WeChat in the bathroom cubicle.
Gu Yu: [President, Zhou Du is hooked.]
After turning off his cell phone, Shang Yanci came out of the cubicle, washed his hands at the sink, and walked out of the bathroom.
A woman in a light pink evening gown stepped forward and said timidly, "Mr. Shang, I met you from a distance at Mr. Shang's birthday party before, and I was very impressed by you."
