Chapter 226 - Shameful
This sounds nice, but it's actually more like irony. These people are competing for beauty, but in reality, not many outsiders pay attention to them. After all, their own weight is there, and capable people don't have the time to waste on them. Going back and forth is just for their own pleasure.
"Ye Zi, long time no see. I hope you've been doing well recently. I invited you to go shopping, but why haven't you been free?" The woman in the blue skirt said coquettishly, squeezing closer to Shi Fei Ye.
Before Shi Feiye could reply, another woman in a pink skirt hugged Shi Feiye's arm and spoke in a more coquettish tone than the previous woman:
"Look at what you said, Ye Zi must be very busy. Don't you know that Ye Zi is a writer and screenwriter now? You thought it was the same as before, right, Ye Zi?"
Before Shi Feiye could answer her, the woman spoke again:
"No matter how busy you are at work, you can't not have any time to rest. What if you get exhausted after working for a long time? Of course, you have to combine work and rest. Besides, the Qin family doesn't need the money Ye Zi earns. It's just a matter of finding something to do."
"Ha, you never really put your heart into your work, and you think Ye Zi is the same as you. But Ye Zi has worked with screenwriters on a production crew, so how could they be the same? I heard that famous screenwriter from Shanghai even praised Ye Zi."
"I didn't say there was anything wrong with working. I said Ye Zi should take a break from work. Did you even hear what I said? You're refutating me right here."
"Even if I want to combine work and rest, I don't necessarily have to go shopping with you. You can also go with me to see some architecture. It will also help Ye Zi when she writes novels in the future. Besides, you and Ye Zi have different perspectives. What's the point of going shopping together?"
"With your patchy knowledge of architecture, don't mislead the students. If Ye Zi really goes with you, everything she writes will be wrong, and she will be scolded when it is released."
"How can I be any worse than you? Your jewelry design knowledge is not that good. You can't even help me. At least I can tell what style of architecture is."
The two of them were fine at first, but after a few words, their voices grew louder and louder. Shi Feiye looked left and right, and suddenly realized that they had attracted the attention of many people in the hall.
Fortunately, many people are well-mannered. Even if they want to laugh when they see it, they turn away and hide their smile. Only a few people point directly at them, and it is obvious that they are making fun of them.
But the more this happened, the more embarrassed Shi Feiye became. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. She didn't want to be the center of attention or the center of embarrassment any longer.
"Please stop for a moment, both of you," Shi Feiye tried to stop them, but they were so engrossed in their conversation that they paid no attention to Shi Feiye's words.
"Stop!" Shi Feiye raised his voice, and the two of them were instantly stuck.
Qin Si had already been unable to bear it any longer. These women squeezed towards Shi Feiye and pushed him away from Shi Feiye. Moreover, it was really embarrassing to have a dispute in such a place. Even if he was just a little boy, he would feel embarrassed.
So, as soon as Shi Feiye stopped the two women, Qin Si immediately interrupted with great dissatisfaction:
"Aye, I want to go find my uncle. Please take me to find him."
Shi Feiye was about to say that she was going to the toilet, but when she saw Qin Si's steps, she immediately stepped down:
"Sorry everyone, Xiao Si is going to visit his uncle. I'll go with him first. You guys can chat. Forget about it today. We can get together again when we have time."
After saying that, he immediately stood up and took Qin Si away. After walking a distance, Qin Si couldn't help complaining:
"These people are so annoying. Not only are they stupid, but they also have to show it and embarrass others. Ah Ye, you should be a little cruel to these people from now on. Otherwise, if you keep doing this, your status will be lowered."
That's right, he came to the dinner party for no reason, but he had to be so smart as to expose his thoughts, not even waiting for a moment, and even started an argument with others in public.
Shi Feiye hadn't expected these people to be so open-minded. Their minds were as shallow as a puddle of water on the ground, and they couldn't understand others. It was no wonder that these people couldn't enter the center of the family.
"Don't worry, I didn't tolerate them. I guess as soon as we leave, these two will be bombarded by the other people who didn't bother to talk to them just now." Shi Feiye wanted to laugh at the thought.
The situation was exactly as Shi Feiye had imagined. As soon as Shi Feiye and Qin Si left, the other women who were originally sitting a little further away from her began to bombard the two people who were talking:
"What are you two doing? Why are you arguing in front of Ye Zi? You start arguing right away. Are you afraid that she won't be embarrassed? Now that she's gone, don't expect your little thoughts to go away."
"That's right, can't we just reminisce about the past and try to build a relationship first? Do you think Ye Zi is still the same now? Look, she won't listen to us anymore. She's gone. Are you satisfied?"
"When have their brains ever worked properly? I didn't have the heart to interrupt them and save their face just now, but now look, none of us can save face anymore. We've been here for less than five minutes and they've already forced people away. Who will believe us if we say we have a good relationship with Ye Zi in the future?"
The two people were not convinced, and the woman in the blue skirt retorted:
"We didn't say anything. What I said just now was wrong. Who knew that Ye Zi would become like this now? She's rich now and doesn't think highly of us anymore. What does it have to do with us?"
The woman in the pink skirt had an ugly expression on her face. She wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
"Forget it, who knew Ye Zi would become like this now? I'll just be more careful next time I talk to her."
What else can I do? Everyone has already left.
The others had to admit it even if they didn't want to, and they all thought about talking to Shi Feiye when they got the chance later.
As Shi Feiye was walking, he suddenly remembered something and muttered to himself, "Strange..."
"What's so strange?" Qin Si took her hand and looked up at her curiously.
"Nothing..." Shi Feiye shook his head.
She just suddenly remembered that the former leader of this group, Wen Xiangsheng, had been silent for a long time. And now thinking about it, it seems that there has been no news from Miss Wen since she asked her out to meet her and was cheated out of a sum of money. Logically speaking, didn't the other party give her money in the hope of playing the long game and catching a bigger fish?
Miss Wen’s original intention was very clear, but why was there no news at all afterwards?
Moreover, thinking about it again, Guan Liucheng, who had come to harass her, and Zhong Fei, who had come to her house to ask her to divorce Qin Buzhu, seemed to have appeared once and then disappeared.
These people didn't seem like the type to give up their goals easily. Normally, there should have been many more magical moves to mess with her later, but surprisingly, there was no movement at all. She hadn't even heard from them since. It was really strange.
Qin Si was very curious and shook Shi Feiye's hand, asking her what was wrong. Shi Feiye couldn't stand his coquettish behavior and had to tell him the whole story in a few words.
"Hey, I thought it was something else. Needless to say, it was probably my uncle who took action to solve it." Qin Si pouted and said nonchalantly.
"Did your uncle solve it?" Shi Feiye felt strange and hesitated, "I don't think so. After all, I didn't have any feelings for him at that time. He wouldn't have bothered to solve his suitor just for me."
Qin Si rolled his eyes, shook his head and sighed: "Aye, you are so naive."
It was fine for Qin Bulu to say this, but Shi Feiye was not convinced when Qin Si said this: "How am I naive?"
"Do you think my uncle, a man as proud as he is, would tolerate being schemed against by a bunch of women under the pretext of love? Besides, you were still husband and wife at that time. Hitting your face is also hitting his face. He knows this very well. Otherwise, think about it, I didn't like you so much before, and his brothers didn't like you either, but did anyone touch you? Who outside would dare to make trouble for you?"
Shi Feiye then remembered that what Qin Si said seemed to be true. Even though she was cannon fodder, no matter how much she was looked down upon before, no one had ever given her a cold shoulder, let alone made her feel uncomfortable directly. No matter what those people did in private, at least they were still tolerable on the surface. The ridicule was also insinuation. Before Qin Bulu went bankrupt, no one had directly confronted cannon fodder.
"As for later, my uncle fell in love with you, and you were the apple of his eye. He would never let anyone cause you any trouble." Qin Si's words made sense.
Shi Feiye was stunned for a moment, and a tender emotion suddenly rose in his heart. This feeling of being protected without even knowing it was truly moving.
"Didn't you say you wanted to go look for your uncle? Let's go over there." Shi Feiye suddenly wanted to see Qin Bulu.
Qin Si looked at her strangely and said, "That's just an excuse. My uncle must be talking to someone right now. Why would we bother him?"
That's true. The sudden emotion dissipated, and Shi Feiye's IQ returned:
"Yes, that's what you said. Let's go over there."
She pointed to the dining area on the other side.
"Xiao Si, Second Sister-in-law?" A familiar voice came. Shi Feiye turned around and found that it was Zou Lianxun who was speaking, and Qian Bowen was beside him.
"Hey, little one, did you miss me?" Zou Lianxun walked over before Qian Bowen and slapped Qin Si on the head, rubbing it hard, instantly messing up Qin Si's hair.
"I didn't think about it, ahhh, let go!" Qin Si almost exploded on the spot, holding his head and shrinking behind Shi Feiye while shouting, "My style..."
"Hello, second sister-in-law." Qian Bowen also came over with a smile, greeted Shi Feiye, and then tried to pull Qin Si out, "Xiao Si, why are you hiding? We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss us?"
Qin Si dodged and tried to push their hands back: "I don't want to, I don't want to, not at all."
