“Wanwan, you wait here; I’ll go teach that shameless b*tch a lesson for you!”
As she said that, Mu Jiaqian lifted her foot toward the woman in question, but she was stopped by her friend before she could go further.
“Qianqian, don’t act rashly; we don’t need to bother with her.”
Qu Jingwan frowned as her snow-white hands clutched onto her friend’s wrist tightly.
Seeing the former trying to control herself, the latter became more infuriated.
“Why should we hold it in? I’m not lecturing you, but you aren’t any worse than Ji Ziming!
“He may be the wealthiest man in the capital and one every socialite wants to marry, but you are one of the prettiest in the capital! Those men chasing you could line up the whole of Great Wall. Why are you so intent on being with him?”
The more she spoke, the more infuriated she became. All along, she could not understand why her best friend would fall in love with that iceberg of a man.
She remembered that before her best friend had gone overseas for her studies, she liked men who were humorous and mature.
She honestly did see the maturity in that man, but his other characteristics were not to her friend’s taste.
Hearing that, Qu Jingwan was stunned before curling her lips as her eyes became filled with gentleness.
“…You don’t understand. A person’s heart will change and loving someone is uncontrollable.”
“Enough! I’m really exasperated now. You should just continue being inflexible and stubborn about that man since only you can conquer him. Anyway, it’s just a matter of time before you two get married.”
Her friend looked at her with a helpless expression.
The two were chatting about Qiao Jingyun but soon stopped once the woman got near them.
The pair did not expect her to be so thick-skinned. She actually came straight to them without their prompting.
“It’s been a while, Miss Qu.”
“…” She looked at the woman standing before her. Seeing the latter’s well-defined figure, one would not know that this woman had actually given birth to a child…
“It’s truly been a while, Qiao Jingyun…”
Indeed, it had been a while.
She could vaguely remember that the last time she had seen this woman was when the latter had sent her child with Ji Ziming back to Ji family.
It was also on that day that she was officially accepted by the two elders of Ji family as their future daughter-in-law.
She became the only choice for the man’s bride.
Ever since then, the Jis and the Qus’ relationship became even closer.
Although there was no official ceremony held between her and the man, Qu Jingwan was widely acknowledged as his fiancée.
She smiled lightly, her facial expression indifferent with not a tinge of nervousness, despite Qiao Jingyun’s presence.
However, while she might be calm and composed, that did not mean her friend was the same.
Mu Jiaqian disliked the woman before them from the start and regarded her as a shameless third party.
Therefore, when the woman appeared before them like this, she was angered instantly.
“You shameless b*tch, how dare you appear here? Do you even have an invitation! So shameless!”
Not only was she angry with her, she hated her, too.
However, due to her proper upbringing, she could only insult the latter through such words.
“Miss Mu, it’s been a while since we last met. You’re still as… bubbly as ever!”
The corners of Qiao Jingyun’s lips curled as she grinned at the lady before her as though she were looking at an ill-mannered shrew.
The woman’s elegance and air of nobility made Mu Jiaqian appear even more like an angered shrew stamping her feet.
This woman was indeed the hardest to deal with.
As much as Ji Ziming did not like her, she had still become an important woman in his life.
At the very least, this woman gave birth to his first son.
Seeing that elegant and condescending smile, Qu Jingwan held her friend’s hand lightly and tugged.
Mu Jiaqian, who had been angered by the woman’s attitude, returned to her senses at her friend’s tug.
“I’m really curious. Has Ji Ziming given you an invitation? From what I know, other than me, he did not invite any other socialites.”
Qu Jingwan smiled at Qiao Jingyun. Her inherent elegance and class were provoking the latter’s eyes.
Despite the latter’s smile lingering, she could not help but admit that she really hated the former.
If not for this unexpected intruder bouncing in halfway, her plan would probably succeed!
However, not only did this woman appear, she even won the favors of the two elders.
As she carried her child and knelt by the entrance to the Ji family’s house, all along thinking of retreating for the sake of advancing to stay there with her child… this woman unabashedly said that she would treat and care for the child as if he were hers.
What b*llsh*t! What ‘treat him as hers’? Who’d actually treat the child given birth to by another woman for her beloved man?!
Alas, those two old things actually believed her! Even the man seemed to believe her slightly!
She must admit that Qu Jingwan was better at pretending than her.
She really did not expect this woman to be waiting for her after she kicked away Pei Ge.
Furthermore, regardless of family background or Ji family’s liking, this woman was way stronger than her.
Most importantly, this woman… was scheming unlike that naïve and silly Pei Ge.
“He he! Ziming didn’t invite me, but my precious son… did.”
She lifted her head arrogantly, feeling pleased with herself.
Hearing that, Mu Jiaqian secretly cursed a certain ungrateful little rascal.
However, to Qiao Jingyun’s disappointment, Qu Jingwan did not seem affected by her words.
She merely smiled as though she was the principal wife dealing with a random third party.
Seeing her act this way, the other calmed down as well.
As such, both women stared at each other while smiling lightly.
This made several guests, who were watching them, shudder.
Just as the two’s exciting duel was reaching a climax, they heard the exclamations of those around them.
“Gosh! That lady, which family does she belong to? She’s so beautiful!”
One woman’s appearance stole everybody’s attention.
Right now, the two’s enmity was nothing compared to this! Two women fighting for a man was nothing!
Seeing the beautiful figure in red, everyone had forgotten about the drama unfolding in their midst.
They only had eyes for that sexy and enchanting figure…
