“I heard from my father that Boos Liu is famous for being a playboy. However, this Boss Liu is quite loyal to his partners in the business world. Such a person should not lie.”
The group of socialites around began to chatter and discuss.
“You are just spouting nonsense here. Auntie, you must not believe her nonsense.”
Shi Qi held onto Qian Yun’s hand, hoping that Qian Yun would believe her.
“The Zhou family really is unlucky. Their first daughter-in-law was a peasant. Not long after, they got divorced and now they’re looking for a new wife. In the end, she’s not even as good as the peasant from before. She’s actually just a prostitute.”
It was not only the daughters of socialites who participated in the discussion but also the wives of wealthy families who were of the same status as Qian Yun.
Qian Yun also heard the discussion about herself and her face turned green and red.
“Aunty, I’m not like this. I’ve investigated that Yun Xi and Zhou Mo had a relationship before. She must be envious that I’m able to marry Zhou Mo now, so she allied with this unknown person to ruin my reputation. Aunty, you mustn’t believe their nonsense!”
Shi Qi still wanted to shift the blame. After all, only Boss Liu and Yun Xi present knew that she had gone to the underground gambling house to be a hostess. As long as she insisted that it was these two people who wanted to insult her reputation, the matter would be settled because they did not know the truth.
“How long are you going to pretend?” A voice sounded from the main entrance of the banquet. It was Zhou Mo.
Qian Yun saw Zhou Mo coming. She shook off Shi Qi’s hand and went to the door to welcome him.
“Mom, don’t trust this woman anymore. Yun Lian is absolutely right. She is not the daughter of a rich family. She is just the daughter of a fish vendor.”
After Zhou Mo left school that day, he had always felt that the 200,000 yuan was not right. Zhou Mo followed the address that Yun Lian gave him that day and went to the food street. He found this aquatic shop.
Shi Qi originally wanted her father to close the aquatic shop, but a few big customers came to order a batch of fresh crabs. It was a big order to order fresh crabs this season. Shi Qi’s father still wanted to make money, so he quietly opened the aquatic shop again.
When Zhou Mo rushed to the aquatic product store, he saw Shi Qi’s father moving boxes of crabs outside.
Shi Qi’s father first smiled awkwardly and then used the same trick as before to say that he came to help because there were not many people in the store to help.
Zhou Mo also did not say anything. He just said that he happened to pass by here to sketch.
For three days in a row, Zhou Mo went to the vicinity of the aquatic products store and chatted with some old men and women while pretending to buy fruits and vegetables.
Only then did he realize that Shi Qi’s father did not only come here to help every now and then. He was clearly the owner of these aquatic products stores. He worked here all year round and helped the customers move the goods and clean up the fish sold.
“Liar! This family is a liar from the beginning to the end!”
Qian Yun could not believe Yun Lian’s words, but she believed Zhou Mo’s words 100%.
“Aren’t you the daughter of the Shi family? Many years have passed, and I almost didn’t recognize you. Your father has already been bankrupt for so many years, yet you can still come to such an occasion?”
At this time, another girl who was about the same age as Shi Qi came over. It seemed that they had known each other since they were young. Now, her mouth was full of sarcasm. As expected, there were only a few people who offered help in times of need, but most of them were people who added insult to injury.
“What’s going on here?”
Old Master Wu was chatting with his old friends from when he was young, while he let the young people casually play around and make friends. However, they kept hearing chatters over here. It was not the sound of normal communication at all.
At this time, a nanny came over and whispered the whole story into Old Master Wu’s ear.
“Our place is too small to accommodate someone you. If you are not sincerely here to attend this gathering, please leave!”
Old Master Wu immediately ordered Qian Yun and Shi Qi to leave. Qian Yun was also a person who cared about her reputation. After hearing what the other party said, she said goodbye and left the banquet.
Shi Qi stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do. She could only follow Qian Yun’s footsteps dejectedly.
Yun Xi was not chased out, but there was nothing worth her staying behind. The gifts had arrived, so she left the banquet as well.
