She spoke with certainty that everything today was clearly planned in advance, otherwise why would Gao's parents, who were originally supposed to be present, suddenly be unable to attend due to other commitments?
Gao Qinzhi, of course, could not admit it. This Lady Jiang, the wife of the city lord, was described as a high-class smiling tiger, and one had to be extremely careful when dealing with her. The reason he and Lady Jiang were engaged in the first place was thanks to the "cleverness" of this Lady Jiang. "I have already broken off the engagement with Lady Jiang, so let's not mention these things anymore, as it's not good for her reputation."
Zheng Ruofen was displeased that he was avoiding her so much, but she was the kind of person who would never show her displeasure on the surface, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to act like a loving mother to Jiang Ziqi in front of Fu Xingbai for so many years. "You are very thoughtful."
Gao Qinzhi was afraid that Zheng Ruofen would keep him from saying anything more, so he quickly took his leave, "Madam City Lord, Miss Ya Ya has arrived. It is not appropriate for me to stay here. I will take my leave now."
Fu Anya came to Zheng Ruofen with tears in her eyes, "Mother, sob sob sob..."
Zheng Ruofen couldn't stand seeing her cry. "Oh dear, what's wrong, baby? Why are you crying? Don't cry, today is Ya Ya's birthday, how can you cry? You'll look ugly if you cry, you'll look like a little kitten."
Fu Anya was rarely this heartbroken. "Mother, I want my sister... Where is my sister? Did Father kick her out again? No, no, my sister is so lonely out there all by herself..."
"No, that's not true. My sister went out to play. She's an adult now, and she has her own things to do. Ya Ya can't bother her, or she'll get annoyed, okay?"
Fu Anya pouted, "Did Ya Ya make you unhappy today by acting on her own? Does your sister dislike Ya Ya again?"
"No, no, my sister told Mom that she really liked the red carpet show that Ya Ya prepared for her. She really likes Ya Ya. Didn't she even give Ya Ya a birthday present? Did Ya Ya like the present that my sister gave her?"
"like!"
"But Mother, will you not let me keep the ore my sister gave me?" Mother dislikes her touching these things the most.
"No, this was given to you by your sister. Your mother also cherishes it for Ya Ya."
"Can I touch the ore now?"
"That'll have to wait until after lunch."
"All right."
Gao Qinzhi saw Chen Yiwen dancing with a young nobleman right at the door; they were dancing a waltz!
Here's what happened: Chen Yiwen was stunned when Fu Xingbai announced that Gao Qinzhi and Jiang Ziqi had broken off their engagement. Her head was buzzing, and she couldn't describe her feelings. Her mind was blank, and she wasn't thinking about anything, but her heart was beating very fast.
Zheng Wenwen bit her fist to keep from screaming, and pulled her aside, saying, "Jiang Ziqi is really strange! One minute she's a commoner, the next a noblewoman; one minute she's engaged, the next she's annuling the engagement. Did you see my uncle, the city lord's, face? Oh my, I've never seen him look like that before. It's like he's about to devour Jiang Ziqi! Oh, right, I just remembered something. Jiang Ziqi is my uncle's daughter, but she's definitely not my aunt's biological daughter. Good heavens, my aunt has a bit of a problem..."
After the performance ended on stage, those in the audience started having fun, and those who wanted to dance started dancing. Zheng Wenwen, somewhat dazed, accepted an invitation from a man, as did Chen Yiwen.
Chen Yiwen stepped on the other person's foot again, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The young master smiled elegantly, "It's alright."
Suddenly, a hand landed on the young master's shoulder, and his elegance froze on his face as he was pushed away.
