Cheng Yi didn't want to think about the fact that He Zhou hadn't prepared this dress for her. He Zhou had said that no matter what happened, he would only recognize her as his sister. He also disliked He Jing so much in the secret room last time. There was no reason for him to make clothes for He Jing. This dress must have been stolen by He Jing!
A hint of hatred flashed in Cheng Yi's eyes.
As soon as Liu Sisi saw Cheng Yi, she rushed forward, grabbed her hand, and said, "Xiao Yi, why are you so late? If you had come any later, Qin Yiyi would have made her appearance."
If she steals Qin Yiyi's thunder, Qin Yiyi will definitely hold a grudge.
Cheng Yi lowered her eyes, concealing the malice that seemed out of place with her innocent demeanor, and smiled faintly, saying, "I didn't know where I threw the necklace when I left, so I looked for it for a while."
Liu Sisi looked at the necklace around her neck and exclaimed in surprise, "Such a big diamond, is it the Cthulhu Diamond that was auctioned last week?"
Cheng Yi nodded slightly, maintaining her elegance. She looked at He Jing and asked Liu Sisi, "Has anyone invited He Jing to dance?"
Liu Sisi shook her head: "No."
As soon as she finished speaking, all the lights in the ballroom suddenly went out, and beams of light shone onto the high platform of the stairs directly in front of the ballroom. There, Qin Yiyi, dressed in a light blue dress that made her look like an elf and wearing a birthday crown, made a stunning entrance with a smile.
Madam Qin, Qin Yiyi's mother, was by her side, holding her hand. Despite being over forty years old, she still looked beautiful.
She helped Qin Yiyi up to the platform and said into the microphone, "Thank you all for coming to my daughter's birthday party. Yiyi, you should also thank your classmates and welcome them for coming despite their hard work."
Qin Yiyi politely expressed her gratitude, receiving a round of applause. Suddenly, she changed the subject: "Today, I especially want to thank someone who saved me when I was in danger. She is like an older sister and an angel to me. I would like to invite her up to receive everyone's blessings with me."
"Cheng Yi, have you arrived?"
Snap—
Several lights suddenly shone on Cheng Yi.
Cheng Yi was taken aback for a moment, then readily accepted. She lifted her skirt and gave an elegant and graceful bow before slowly walking onto the stage.
Madam Qin frowned upon seeing this.
Is this my daughter's classmate?
Why would she dress like that at her daughter's birthday party?
Qin Yiyi has a delicate and pretty appearance, and with some makeup and dressing up, she can be considered beautiful, but she is obviously not as pretty as Cheng Yi. So when Cheng Yi stood next to Qin Yiyi in a fluffy princess dress, Qin Yiyi's originally outstanding sense of fashion and uniqueness instantly lost its luster, like a foxtail grass that sets off a delicate flower.
Qin Yiyi was completely unaware of this. She still sincerely took Cheng Yi's hand and said, "Cheng Yi, thank you so much. Would you like to dance our first dance together?"
Cheng Yi, basking in the attention from the crowd, smiled innocently and said, "Of course it's great."
Immediately, a chorus of praise erupted from below:
"I didn't expect this girl to be not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted."
"I heard she's the daughter of the Cheng family, someone of very high status."
"Cheng Yi is so beautiful, I really want to dance a second dance with her."
"I reckon that after tonight, He Jing's title of school beauty will change hands."
...
Shen Qiuyu was furious. She grabbed the suit of the boy who said, "He Jing's title of school beauty is about to change hands," and glared at him with her beautiful eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
He Jing is the most beautiful!
