In the end, He Jing couldn't resist He Zhou's insistence and confirmed that they really didn't intend to attend the ball.
He Jing took the dress back with her. She glanced at the bruises under He Zhou's eyes, pursed her red lips, and left.
The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye, and the group chat for Class 3, Grade 11 exploded early in the morning, with many lurkers popping up and sending messages one after another:
"I've arrived, but I haven't seen a single beautiful woman."
"Holy crap, I saw the school beauty from the neighboring school."
"Where is it? I can't see it. Take a picture and let me see."
"We're getting some fresh air on the balcony."
...
As expected, the activity had nothing to do with studying, and everyone in the group was incredibly enthusiastic. After a while, someone raised a question:
"Where's Sister Jing? Sister Qiuyu is frantically looking for her."
"Jing-jie hasn't arrived yet, has she? What if she's not coming?"
"Is Sister Jing here yet? If she is, type 1; if she isn't, type 2."
"Sister Jing, come quick! The school beauty from that no-name high school is starting to envy you."
...
He Jing slowly typed a "2", and the group chat erupted in groans, with people clamoring, "Sister Jing, come and save the day!"
He Jing chuckled and closed the group chat, then changed into a formal dress and high heels to prepare for departure.
She carried another dress as a spare, opened the door, and saw a handsome young man standing in the doorway. He was leaning against the door frame, his eyes downcast, idly playing with the invitation in his hand.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and then curled his lips into a smile: "Why aren't you wearing the one I gave you?"
He Jing said, "This was a gift from my third brother."
"Oh—" he drawled, a faint smile on his face, "It looks very good."
"Okay, let's go."
...
The dress-up party was held at Qin Yiyi's house. As originally planned, the exhibition hall was converted into a dance hall with a large dance floor in the middle and bright ceiling lights.
When they arrived at the Qin family home, there were already many people there. In addition to the students' dance, there were also many of Qin Yiyi's parents' business partners.
Clearly, the dance was just a pretext; the parents' real purpose was to discuss cooperation.
Compared to Qin Yiyi's identity as a classmate, Yan Hanxi's identity as the Crown Prince of the Yan family was far more dazzling, so he was naturally classified as a VIP and was asked to leave as soon as he entered the door.
He Jing was taken to the dance hall alone. As soon as she entered, she saw Wu Yu, who was dressed smartly, and Shen Qiuyu, who was walking around anxiously in ten-centimeter high heels, holding up her skirt. She was clearly looking for her.
"Sister Jing!"
As soon as Wu Yu called out, Shen Qiuyu immediately turned her gaze over, then hurriedly ran to her and said, "Sister Jing, why did you take so long to come!"
He Jing said helplessly, "Isn't the ball starting at nine o'clock?"
It's only 8:30 now, and she's arrived more than half an hour early, which is already quite early.
Shen Qiuyu looked her up and down, grabbed her hand and said, "Sister Jing, I've prepared a weapon for you to dominate the scene. Come with me and put it on."
At this point, she no longer cared whether He Jing was wearing the jade necklace she had given her; all she wanted was for He Jing to use her beauty to commit crimes and kill that little bitch from the neighboring school before killing Cheng Yi.
I don't know who brought that little bitch here. She was so arrogant as soon as she entered. The moment she heard the name "He Jing," her sourness practically overflowed from the screen.
He Jing was completely dragged along by Shen Qiuyu, with no choice whatsoever. When they arrived at the lounge, she saw Shen Qiuyu take something out of his expensive bag—
He Jing was immediately dazzled.
"Crystal Shoes?!"
Excuse me?
P.S.: That's all for now. Goodnight, muah!
