The minor dispute between a few people did not attract much attention in such a large crowd, but Jiang Xue, who was always keeping an eye and ear out, noticed the presence of Shen Xi and her two companions.
Jiang Xue frowned. She didn’t expect to see Shen Xi and her friends here, and it made her feel annoyed. She had been trying to get rid of her past, but why do these people from her past keep haunting her?
She couldn’t understand why the Shen family had invited these low-class people to such an upscale event. She even started criticizing the Shen family, worried that they would lower the quality of the banquet.
Li Jin, who was hiding in the shadows, saw Jiang Xue’s expression and smiled sarcastically.
After being embarrassed by Guan Lei, Li Jin had come here to Beijing to relax at her grandfather’s place. However, she didn’t expect to run into Jiang Xue and Shen Xi, who were mortal enemies.
Li Jin smiled and took a sip of champagne.
After socializing for a while, Jiang Xue went to the makeup room to touch up her makeup. The high-end hotel had really good service, with a special room for women to touch up their makeup. The décor inside was also very luxurious, with several rooms separated by high-quality elegant screens.
Fortunately, Shen Xi and her two friends didn’t cause any trouble during the round of socializing, and Jiang Xue’s mood was still good.
Jiang Xue, who had just finished touching up her makeup, was about to message Young Master Guan to ask when he would arrive when suddenly she heard the words “Young Master Guan” from the adjacent compartment.
Curious, Jiang Xue leaned in to listen to what the women were gossiping about her future husband.
“Is it true?
“Well, of course it is. That necklace hanging around Shen Xi’s neck belongs to
Young Master Guan.”
“How do you know? Young Master Guan never shows his face in public, who knows what kind of necklace he wears. Besides, it might just be the same design.”
“You might not know this, but Guan Lei had an older brother named Guan
Miao. Guan Miao’s fiancée was a gown designer, did you know that?” “I do. Isn’t she that crazy person Sun Ming? What does she have to do with
When Jiang Xue heard the name Sun Ming, she also pricked up her ears in confusion. Sun Ming was the lunatic who had spilled wine on her during the last gathering. After finding out Sun Ming’s identity, she considered herself unlucky.
However, Jiang Xue was not someone who would take things lying down. During this period, she had thoroughly investigated Sun Ming, including the fact that Sun Ming’s family had been pressuring her to have children and continue the Sun family’s bloodline.
“When Sun Ming got engaged to Guan Miao, she designed a couple necklace.
Young Master Guan was still young at the time and liked it, so he had Sun Ming send him a set to keep for his future wife. As you know, Sun Mings designs are usually not mass-produced, and on top of that, it was a custom order from their own family. There is definitely no same design in the world. But most people don’t know about this, if it weren’t for my family member working for the Guan family, I wouldn’t have known either.”
“So, are you saying that the necklace Shen Xi is wearing on her neck right now is that necklace? Are you sure?”
“I am one hundred percent sure. I just took a close look at it, and it’s the one. I was wondering why Young Master Guan had a relationship with a girl from a small town, but then I saw her beautiful little face, and I instantly understood.
Men, they all like women who look seductive.”
“Well, that could be true. Shen Xi definitely has the look of a sly fox. Men love women who appear aloof and cool on the surface, but are actually passionate and alluring in private.”
Jiang Xue clenched her fists tightly. Based on the time that she spent with Young Master Guan, he did seem to have the hobby of pursuing beauty, as the two had said. Thinking of Shen Xi’s stunning and dazzling appearance, Jiang Xue became nervous.
Jiang Xue was not someone without self-awareness. When she first saw Shen Xi at the Jiang family villa, she knew that Shen Xi was beautiful. This was also the reason why she had always wanted to suppress Shen Xi.
Shen Xi had enjoyed eighteen years of wealth and prosperity, and she was even more beautiful than Jiang Xue. It was unfair, and Jiang Xue couldn’t help but feel envious and resentful.
Now that she had climbed the big tree of the Guan family, Shen Xi even wanted to take away what belonged to her and seduce her man. It was one thing for Xiang Cheng to pursue Shen Xi, but now even Young Master Guan wanted her. She would not allow it.
Jiang Xue picked up her phone and sent a message directly to Young Master Guan: “My dear, when are you coming? I miss you so much, it’s only been half a day since we last met.”
Meanwhile, Guan Bo, who received the message, was staring fiercely at the frightened Zhao Yuan.
Zhao Yuan felt very miserable. She had only wanted to find a restroom, but unexpectedly she ran into Young Master Guan, and it was an R-rated scene. She felt like dying.
Zhao Yuan sobbed and said, “Young Master Guan, I didn’t mean it. I really just passed by. Please let me go..”
