"They're gone."
"What about Brother Xi?"
"I left with Sister Jing."
"..."
Wu Yu couldn't help but cover his face and wail loudly, "I still wanted to dance with Sister Jing!"
Shen Qiuyu rolled her eyes. Only now did he remember to dance with He Jing? Where was he before? He was having so much fun flirting with girls.
In a corner of the ballroom, Madam Qin glanced at Cheng Yi, who was stuffing cake into her mouth in a dejected manner in the lounge area, and asked softly, "Yiyi, are you sure it was Cheng Yi, the daughter of the Cheng family, who saved you?"
Qin Yiyi found it strange that Madam Qin asked about Cheng Yi. Her smile faded slightly, and she asked nervously, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Madam Qin shook her head: "It doesn't seem like it."
Qin Yiyi opened her mouth in surprise: "Huh?"
Madam Qin narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. Having been in the fashion industry for so long, she was very sensitive to the rivalry between women. Cheng Yi's actions today were not something a friend would do.
If she truly considered her daughter a friend, she wouldn't have dressed up so extravagantly and glamorously, nor would she have openly asked Yan's only son to dance when Qin Yiyi invited her to the stage, showing no regard for her daughter, the star of tonight's ball.
"Mom, Cheng Yi really saved me..."
"Mom knows." Madam Qin held Qin Yiyi's hand and patted it gently. "You're naive and see everything as good, but don't trust others too easily."
Qin Yiyi thought for a while and then nodded.
Madam Qin is her biological mother and wouldn't harm her. Although she didn't believe Cheng Yi had any ulterior motives for saving her, she decided to observe him for a while.
At this moment, Cheng Yi, who was devouring cake, was unaware that she had just lost one of the most frequently used backers for showing off in the original work: her personal jewelry supplier.
She was still angry when she finally calmed down after stuffing herself so much that she couldn't eat anymore. She turned her head and saw a few boys standing not far away, seemingly hesitating whether to come up and ask her to dance. Only then did she realize what she was doing.
So she quickly composed herself and gave them a pure smile.
Sure enough, several boys came up without the slightest hesitation.
She thought they were inviting her to dance, but instead they reached out their hands to Liu Sisi and several other girls next to her.
Cheng Yi was startled, then bit her lip hard.
Even Liu Sisi got invited, but she got ignored. She was furious!
Cheng Yi felt she couldn't stay there a moment longer. Clutching her bag, she left. Of the five gowns she had prepared, she had only worn two before she had no chance to appear on stage again.
Back at the He family home, none of the brothers were asleep; the living room was brightly lit, clearly waiting for her.
She carefully lifted her skirt and walked up the steps to the He family's door. She opened the door, and all the brothers stood up from the sofa and looked at her in unison.
Cheng Yi immediately smiled and said softly, "Your brothers are still awake? I'm sorry for coming back late and making you worry."
He rushed forward and asked eagerly, "Xiaoyi, did you have fun? Were there many people at the ball?"
Cheng Yi was a little flattered. Ever since he switched sides to He Jing's side, He Sui had never been so attentive to her. She nodded and smiled, "I had a lot of fun, and there were a lot of people."
"What about He Jing?"
"..."
It turned out that He Sui had been waiting all night for this.
Cheng Yi's smile immediately turned cold, and she retorted with dissatisfaction, "Fourth Brother, I've been gone for so long, and you haven't even asked me if I'm tired?"
He Sui was dumbfounded: "You have a car to pick you up and drop you off, so you shouldn't be too tired, right?"
