“Yes, Yanqing gave it to me. You’re also very beautiful today,” Lin Gantang said with a smile as she clinked her wine glass with hers.
She looked at the man beside Hong Shuangying and asked, “This is?”
“I just got a boyfriend. His surname is Lin too,” Hong Shuangying introduced. “His name is Lin Huan. He’s the CEO of Kaiqian Company.”
“Hello, Miss Lin.” Lin Huan reached out his hand.
“Hello.” Lin Gantang shook his hand slightly.
“Your boyfriend isn’t here? I wanted to use you to introduce Lin Huan to your boyfriend,” Hong Shuangying said with a smile.
Lin Gantang smiled as well. She pointed in Wen Yanqing’s direction. “He’s over there. You can go over.”
“No thanks. Without you, how would Mr. Wen know who I am?” Hong Shuangying said tactfully. “It’s quite awkward to just go over. Alright, my boyfriend and I will go somewhere else first. Have fun.”
Hong Shuangying readily admitted that she wanted to help her boyfriend get to know Wen Yanqing. It was not annoying to have her admit it openly. She was most afraid that some people would use their friendship to ask her to bring them to meet up. That would be annoying.
After Lin Gantang finished speaking to Hong Shuangying, she turned around and Jiang Tongtong had disappeared from sight.
She walked towards the place where Jiang Tongtong had been earlier. When she walked over, she realized that Jiang Tongtong was standing in an empty corner. She was leaning against the wall, quietly trying to check the heel of her high heels.
Lin Gantang found her and was overjoyed. She smiled and prepared to go over. However, before she could get close, someone had already stopped in front of Jiang Tongtong.
“Cinderella is still Cinderella even if she wears glass shoes. It’s not easy to wear glass shoes, is it?” Hou Qianxi said sarcastically. “Otherwise, why do you feel like your feet are blistering now?”
Jiang Tongtong lifted her head.
“Why wasn’t the story of Cinderella and the prince continued after they got together? Let me guess what happened after that.” Hou Qianxi smiled maliciously. “Cinderella and the prince had a wonderful time, but they were not from the same world after all, so they gradually grew apart. In the end, the prince chased Cinderella out of the palace, and Cinderella got lost in the forest after leaving the palace.”
Hou Qianxi walked closer to Jiang Tongtong. “Her eyes were blinded with tears. She starved and froze to death in the forest. And the prince will find a real princess. Only after that will they live happily ever after.”
Jiang Tongtong stood up straight and stared at the two of them warily and defensively. Her pretty face was tense.
Song Jinwen rolled her eyes impatiently. “Why are you spending so much time talking to her? She might not even understand what you’re saying. Women from small families are different from us.”
“Where are you going?” Hou Qianxi stopped Jiang Tongtong from leaving. “Are you ashamed after hearing this? I thought you were going to be an ostrich for the rest of your life, hiding in the Lin residence. Do you also feel that you’re not worthy, so you don’t even dare to step into the outside world?”
“You like Zhaonan?” Jiang Tongtong asked, looking at her.
“Not really.” Hou Qianxi looked at Jiang Tongtong with disdain and resentment. “I just want to avenge my Xiaoai. After you ruined Xiaoai’s life, I can’t wait to scold you every time I see you.”
“She instigated others to commit crimes and reaped the consequences. It has nothing to do with me,” Jiang Tongtong said.
“Don’t be smug for too long.” Hou Qianxi crossed her arms and mocked, “There are countless people who don’t like you.. If you’re not under Lin Zhaonan’s nose, how long can you hold on by yourself?”
