Now that they were seated there, they could feel so many people staring in their direction.
Although they were also the focus of everyone’s attention, everyone’s looks on Li Moying and Huang Yueli were filled with envy while the looks they received were more of gloating over their misfortunes.
This kind of gaze made them feel as though they were sitting on pins and needles, and the fury in their hearts flourish even further.
He kept telling himself to tolerate, but he had been living in an environment where he had been treated like a peerless genius. Jing Shaoyuan had never been this embarrassed in his entire life. How was he going to convince himself to swallow this anger!
His cold gaze swept past Li Moying and Huang Yueli.
At this moment, Huang Yueli was already half-full from the food. When she realized that her husband had been servicing her and she felt a little bad about it. So she peeled a grape and fed it to Li Moying.
Li Moying smiled and ate the grape in her fair, slender hand.
“Oh wow, Young Master Li and his wife are so loving! I’m so envious of them!”
“How could there be such a perfect man like Young Master Li in this world! Young Madam Li’s life is really too fortunate…”
“As expected, humans indeed place more emphasis on looks! If you’re beautiful, you can capture a genius’s heart like Young Master Li. There’s not much use to just have innate talent…”
“Sigh, one indeed cannot be compared to another. This is so infuriating!”
This kind of discussion made Lan Mengqing feel even more unresigned!
That’s right. Wasn’t she just not as good-looking as Young Master Li’s wife? Didn’t she just lose out on face?”
Just as she was silently burning in fury, Jing Shaoyuan’s cold and gloomy voice suddenly rang in her ear. “Mengqing, do you feel unconvinced? Hmm?”
Lan Mengqing shuddered, forcibly squeezed out a smile, and tried to explain, “No, there’s no such thing! Shaoyuan, the things Li Moying said just now are just to give you a blow. He’s intentionally trying to drive a wedge between us! Surely you don’t believe what he said, right?”
Although her heart indeed pounded for an instant over Li Moying, Lan Mengqing knew that Li Moying would never have any interest in her. She could not offend her fiancé, Jing Shaoyuan.
After all, other than Li Moying, Jing Shaoyuan was already the next best choice.
Jing Shaoyuan knew what she was thinking, but towards their engagement, they would also not easily give it up.
He sneered silently but said, “I know. How would I ever believe in that kind of thing? I’m not stupid, so someone’s mere words won’t shake me up. We have been engaged for two years and have always been loving. No one can come in between us. There’s no way I will believe in an outsider over you, understand?”
Lan Mengqing silently heaved a sigh of relief and was just about to take this chance to pledge her loyalty to him, to save their relationship.
Just at this moment, she heard Jing Shaoyuan say, “I know your heart is with me and you will surely help me, right? I need your help now…”
Lan Mengqing went into a blank. “Help?”
Jing Shaoyuan sneered, “Don’t you find it irritating to see Li Moying and his wife acting so complacently? That woman obviously only has looks. Nothing else about her could match up to you! Her face just looks a little prettier, but what can that do? I didn’t expect a genius like Li Moying to be so superficial. He actually married this kind of woman!”
These words struck Lan Mengqing’s sentiments deeply.
She nodded consecutively, “That’s right. I was just finding it strange!”
