Chapter 10 Under the incandescent light, the diamonds reflected the brilliance...
Under the incandescent light, the diamond reflected dazzling brilliance, making the girl wearing it look even more delicate and beautiful. Qian Yirong glanced at the earrings that Xu Baiqing had replaced for her, and when she looked at her, she found that she had replaced them with the ruby earrings that she had just taken off her ears.
It was as if they had exchanged earrings. Qian Yirong looked at the earrings that were on her ears just now being worn by Xu Baiqing, and then looked at the earrings on her ears that originally belonged to Xu Baiqing. She always felt that they had left their marks on each other.
"Doesn't it look much better this way?" Xu Baiqing lightly tapped the earrings on Qian Yirong's ears, and gently shook them around the temporary emerald earrings, which reflected more sparks under the incandescent light, making Xu Baiqing narrow his eyes slightly.
Qian Yirong opened her mouth hesitantly, thinking of the plot where she snatched Xu Baiqing's jewelry. Although she was the one who took the initiative to exchange with her, in the eyes of some people, it would probably be thought that she had snatched it.
"Ladies, the lady wants you to come over." Just when Xu Baiqing was about to give his necklace to Qian Yirong, someone came to the dressing room and knocked on the door.
"Okay, we'll be there right away." Qian Yirong stood up with a sigh of relief. For some reason, she always felt like she was being stared at when she was alone with Xu Baiqing recently.
Although it was not to the extent of being offensive, it always made Qian Yirong feel uncomfortable, and Xu Baiqing seemed to be testing her bottom line, especially when she found that he seemed to be deliberately bullying her in front of outsiders, and became more and more presumptuous when they were alone together. In short, Qian Yirong was a little troubled.
Just as Qian Yirong had expected, when she and Xu Baiqing arrived at the banquet hall, Qian's mother noticed the earrings they had exchanged at a glance, and her eyes immediately showed some dissatisfaction when she looked at Qian Yirong.
"Rongrong, did you steal Qingqing's earrings?" Qian's mother asked in a low voice.
"I'll snatch it..." Qian Yirong was about to say, "So what if I snatch it?", but Xu Baiqing stepped forward and took Qian's mother's hand.
"Mother, that's not the case. I exchanged it with him because I thought that earring would be more suitable for my sister." Xu Baiqing said obediently.
This made Qian's mother think that Xu Baiqing said this on purpose because he didn't want her to be angry. She immediately patted the back of her hand with some heartache and comforted her, "Don't bear any grievances. I have something better. I'll give it to you when I get back."
Qian's mother meant that Xu Baiqing had been wronged by Qian Yirong, and she would compensate Xu Baiqing after she returned. At the same time, she glared at Qian Yirong with dissatisfaction. It turned out that it was not her bloodline and she had raised it for so many years but still couldn't tame it.
Looking at the scene of "loving mother and filial daughter" in front of her, Qian Yirong secretly rolled her eyes. It turned out that such a smart person like Qian's mother could be deceived by Xu Baiqing. It seemed that her image as a little white flower had been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Qian Yirong didn't want to stay there and be a light bulb, so she turned around and walked to the corner gracefully. Those who had been leaked some news by her family were reluctant to approach Qian Yirong at this time, so Qian Yirong, who was usually surrounded by people, was left alone for a while, looking lonely and pitiful.
But Qian Yirong was actually very relaxed at this time. The banquet was a big plot, and she didn't want to deal with those people who already had ulterior motives before it even started. Moreover, this banquet didn't just have her own plot, she also saw some other things according to the book.
Or perhaps in the novel, places like banquets are places where accidents often occur, and all kinds of things can happen. If she hadn't intended to attack the heroine, it probably wouldn't have been recorded in the book.
Qian Yirong is not yet completely crazy, so the arrangement she made is not too excessive. She just planned to pour red wine on Xu Baiqing's beautiful dress. It is much simpler than someone who planned to drug Mu Zexuan and make it a fait accompli.
But it's easy to imagine how the male protagonist could be defeated by the vicious female supporting character. This isn't a story about female abuse, but a novel where the male protagonist is favored by all the female supporting characters. Of course, the female supporting character will discover the truth and then save the male protagonist.
This also made Mu Zexuan, who had been reluctant to care about Xu Baiqing, realize his feelings and began to appear openly beside Xu Baiqing. Because of Xu Baiqing's change of identity, those who admired Mu Zexuan did not dare to attack Xu Baiqing.
As a result, Xu Baiqing entered Mu Zexuan's social circle, and several male supporting characters with similar family backgrounds also noticed Xu Baiqing. Seeing the profitability, the Qian family naturally paid more attention to Xu Baiqing. "Qian Yirong", the adopted daughter with no blood relationship with Xu Baiqing who had always targeted Xu Baiqing, naturally became someone who could be easily abandoned.
Qian Yirong looked a little cold and nonchalant as she thought about what would happen at the banquet, which made some people who were paying attention to her feel dazzled. The arrogance on her face faded away, and Qian Yirong's appearance of a superior goddess made people want to conquer her.
Xu Baiqing was talking to Qian's mother, but his attention was more on Qian Yirong, so he naturally would not miss it, and let other people see Qian Yirong's covetousness and obsession, which made him feel very unhappy.
"Mom, I won't delay you from entertaining the guests." Xu Baiqing said considerately. After saying goodbye to Qian's mother and receiving a few words of advice from her, he immediately walked towards the corner where Qian Yirong was.
Some people who were paying attention to this scene couldn't help but concentrate their attention. Thinking of the instructions at home, they immediately rubbed their hands, waiting to be able to quickly get over and leave a good impression on Xu Baiqing if a conflict occurred between the two.
"Sister..." Xu Baiqing looked at Qian Yirong's absent-minded look. It was as if she didn't take anyone seriously, which made her want to break her calm and composed appearance. If she could go crazy for herself, Qian Yirong would definitely be very dazzling at that time.
"Why are you here? Aren't you going to accompany your mother?" Qian Yirong came back to her senses, glanced at Xu Baiqing, and said in an unclear tone.
"I want to be with my sister, and if I stay with mom, it will be inconvenient for my sister to do many things. I said I would cooperate with my sister's actions, and of course I will keep my word." Xu Baiqing approached Qian Yirong with a gentle smile on his face, but his eyes were dark.
"I'm not a good person, you..." Qian Yirong's eyes flashed. She grabbed Xu Baiqing's wrist and spoke coldly, but was suddenly interrupted.
"Miss Qian, what are you doing?" The gentle male voice made Qian Yirong turn her head.
The smile on Xu Baiqing's face was pulled flat because he was interrupted from spending time with Qian Yirong. "What a nosy guy!" Xu Baiqing thought indifferently. But when he looked in the direction of the voice, his gentle expression returned.
"Who are you?" Qian Yirong confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed a stranger, narrowed her eyes and asked in a cold voice.
After all, she is a president who has held a high position for several years. Even though she looks young now, when she reveals her true appearance, her aura makes the visitors take a few steps back, as if they are facing a big shot.
But when he realized that he was actually frightened by Qian Yirong, the man's face turned pale and he felt very embarrassed. Then he pretended to be a righteous man and stepped forward to protect Xu Baiqing behind him.
But he didn't expect that Xu Baiqing would hide behind Qian Yirong as if he was frightened by him, which made the man who wanted to be a hero and save the beauty completely upset. He had originally heard some rumors and wanted to show his goodwill to Xu Baiqing, but now the person obviously did not appreciate his kindness, leaving him in a dilemma.
"Tsk, you idiot who can't see the situation clearly," Qian Yirong said arrogantly, looking the man up and down. "Since I haven't seen you before, I guess you're not an important person. No matter how you got to the party, get out now. You don't want me to have you thrown out, do you?"
"...You!" Panic flashed in the man's eyes. He had really worked hard to get an invitation. If Qian Yirong really threw it away, he would lose both his face and dignity. It would not be so easy for him to climb up again.
The man's pleading gaze fell on Xu Baiqing. He had offended Qian Yirong just to stand up for Xu Baiqing. How could Xu Baiqing completely ignore him? However, Xu Baiqing shrank behind Qian Yirong and didn't even look at the man.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio in front of her? Xu Baiqing thought boredly. The greed in the man's eyes was almost overflowing. Xu Baiqing saw through his plan at a glance.
Xu Baiqing didn't dislike her ambition to climb up the social ladder, but she was disgusted by the fact that she was used as a tool and wanted to step on Qian Yirong's reputation. She was willing to be targeted by Qian Yirong. That was a game between the two of them. If others intervened, she would not only not feel happy, but would also feel disappointed and disturbed.
In the end, the man left in disgrace, which made some people who had the same idea as him stop and think that perhaps things were not as simple as they seemed and required more observation.
After the man left, Qian Yirong dragged Xu Baiqing out from behind her. Seeing that she seemed to be frightened and wanted to stick to her, she couldn't help but glare at her.
"Okay, stop pretending. Don't I know what you look like?" Qian Yirong lowered her voice and said unhappily.
"Don't slander me, sister, I don't care what I look like." Xu Baiqing continued to stick to Qian Yirong without acknowledging her at all.
"Do you like this dress?" Qian Yirong asked in a low voice, seeing that she couldn't stop him, so she simply let Xu Baiqing half lean on her.
"What if you like it? What if you don't like it?" Xu Baiqing asked in a drawn-out voice.
"Neither of them is very good, but since you said you would cooperate with me, I will pour wine on you later, just don't hide." Qian Yirong said while observing Xu Baiqing's expression.
"Okay," Xu Baiqing agreed immediately and asked excitedly, "Where do you want me to pour it? Here? Or here?"
Xu Baiqing took advantage of the fact that her back was facing everyone, and the smile on her lips became malicious. She took Qian Yirong's hand and stroked it across her chest and lower abdomen as she spoke.
