The exhibition had only been going on for an hour and they were still showcasing Mo Yunyao’s designs. Strangely, the older designs were rather popular.
Most of the guests were amazed and fascinated by how fashionable the pieces looked even after more than two decades. At the same time, there was also a classic element that had been incorporated into the designs. Some of the guests were feeling nostalgic because the designs had transcended time and everyone could not help but reminisce and begin to miss the resplendent and talented Mo Yunyao.
Many others were feeling curious because Mo Yunyao was a person of the past. Although they had heard of her name before, they did not get to witness how outstanding she was back then. At this moment, they finally realized that Mo Yunyao was the outstanding one, not her designs!
Women all had a strong passion and love for jewelry and they could all tell at one glance that Mo Yunyao’s jewelry pieces and designs were full of soul.
Wen Xinya was extremely pleased with the outcome. She turned around and headed to the small banquet hall where she almost knocked into someone in the corner.
Wen Xinya took a step back while the fragrance of Chanel No. 5 perfume wafted up into her nose. Just as she was about to apologize, she heard a voice barking in displeasure. “Watch where you’re going! How unrefined.”
She would forever remember who the voice belonged to. She suddenly raised her head, only to see a woman dressed in rose red staring at her opulent, black velvet gown. She smirked and said, “Oh, it’s you, Miss Ning! I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice your presence just now. I almost knocked into you.”
Ning Shuqian suddenly looked up and stared at Wen Xinya in shock. “It’s… it’s you!”
Goddamn it. I was just here to take a breather and yet, I almost got knocked by that shameless bitch Wen Xinya. Just my luck!
Wen Xinya stood in front of Ning Shuqian, leaving just a small gap in between them. Wen Xinya’s nobility, grace, elegance, and mysteriousness made Ning Shuqian’s tackiness and coquettish vibe stand out. They were worlds apart.
Staring at the woman in front of her, Ning Shuqian’s pupils constricted as she watched how stern and uncompromising she looked in her black ensemble. Wen Xinya’s perfection made Ning Shuqian feel an urge to back off and flee. Wen Xinya’s jewelry was so shiny that they could almost blind her.
Wen Xinya smiled calmly and asked, “What’s the matter Miss Ning? You look really shocked.”
There were so many people at the spacious event hall and yet, she almost knocked into Ning Shuqian. Enemies were often bound to meet!
However, she rarely met Ning Shuqian in the past three years.
Ever since Ning Shuqian managed to manipulate and win Wen Haowen’s heart again, she seemed to have kept a low profile and rarely showed up at events. The media barely reported about her too.
Ning Shuqian hurriedly hid her emotions and behaved like a prestigious wealthy lady. “I’m very shocked, indeed. I didn’t expect to see you in such a flustered state, Miss Wen.”
Frankly speaking, it was not Wen Xinya’s fault for almost knocking into her, because they were both standing in a corner where there was a blind spot. Hence, she couldn’t see Ning Shuqian!
Wen Xinya smiled coldly and said, “I didn’t expect that you’d lash out at someone without getting your facts right, right after you got knocked into. Miss Ning, you actually forgot your manners and status.”
Wen Xinya sounded extremely hostile. She indirectly insulted Ning Shuqian for being ill-mannered.
For the past three years, Ning Shuqian had been practicing and doing her best to improve her temper. However, she could not tolerate it and retorted with a sullen expression. “I thought I was being knocked into by a careless person. Turns out it was you, Miss Wen. Please forgive me if I offended you.”
She smiled as sincerely and hypocritical as she could.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Miss Ning, you’re being too formal. You didn’t offend me, I just got a great shock when we almost knocked into each other.”
Wen Xinya was clearly trying to say that she was not to blame for the near-collision.
Ning Shuqian was just being formal for the sake of it and pretending to be courteous. Yet, Wen Xinya still refused that she had received a benefit. She was immediately overwhelmed with exasperation.
Wen Xinya said, “I don’t remember inviting you to the exhibition, Miss Ning. I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Wen Xinya put on a look of astonishment.
Ning Shuqian’s face stiffened and she said with a sultry smile, “Miss Wen, you really like cracking jokes. As the daughter-in-law of the Wen Family, do I still need an invitation? Your father, Wen Haowen is the CEO of the Wen Corporation. Can’t he bring me along as his plus one?”
Wen Xinya guffawed and gibed. “Ah, I’ve got such a bad memory. I almost forgot that you’re still my father’s lawful wife even though the Wen Family doesn’t acknowledge you as their daughter-in-law. Even if we didn’t invite you, you’re still allowed to come along.”
Ever since the news of her fake pregnancy was exposed, Ning Shuqian was only Wen Haowen’s wife in name. She was banned from attending all events organized by the Wen Family and she only managed to live her life in luxury because of Wen Haowen.
She was actually just like his clandestine lover.
However, she did not expect that the prideful Wen Haowen would take Ning Shuqian to the lavish jewelry exhibition.
Ning Shuqian forced a smile and said, “Miss Wen, if there’s nothing else, I shall excuse myself.”
Before Wen Xinya could even say anything, Ning Shuqian strutted away in her 15-centimeter stilettos.
