However, no matter how uncomfortable Old Madam Qiao felt, she had to endure it.
It had already happened. It was not something she could change now.
âWhere did you buy this pair of bracelets? How could there be such a big problem with one of them?â
...
Jiang Mengyu said quickly, âItâs all Qiao Weiyangâs fault. She must have done it!â
âWhatâs going on?â Old Madam Qiao asked.
âThis pair of bracelets is a limited edition. I took a fancy to the bracelets and want to give them to you.
âBut my sister bought them first. I think she was going to give them to someone else. I thought that it was more important that I gave them to you, so I bought them off her hands.
âWho knew that such a thing would happen? I guess she had already tampered with the bracelets at that time.
âShe must have heard that I was going to give them to you, so she deliberately made things difficult for me. Iâm sorry, Grandma. Itâs all my fault for implicating you.â
Qiao Jierou said aggrievedly and pitifully.
She would get rid of all blame and push everything to Qiao Weiyang.
As expected, Old Madam Qiao was furious. âThis unfilial granddaughter! She wants to kill our entire family!â
Qiao Jierou did not dare to say anything else and lowered her head.
Jiang Mengyu chimed in, âI also think that she went too far. Itâs fine if sheâs fighting with Sister Jierou, but she even wants to embarrass Sister Jierou at a critical moment!â
Old Madam Qiao panted heavily.
She never expected Qiao Weiyang to harm her.
Red agate symbolized health and longevity. If it cracked, would it not mean that she would fall sick and die early?
At the thought of this, she was not even in the mood to stay here.
In addition, she had offended someone like Old Madam Han. Old Madam Qiao would definitely think of a way to remedy the situation.
She said, âIâll go out and see if I can win back Old Madam Hanâs favor. Jierou, you and Mengyu have to be careful tonight and donât cause any more trouble.â
âYes, I understand.â Qiao Jierou quickly nodded.
At the thought that Qiao Weiyang had caused her so much trouble, she felt terrible. She clenched her fists as if she was clenching Qiao Weiyangâs neck. She was very uncomfortable.
Jiang Mengyu comforted her. âSister Jierou, Mr. Lin will be here soon. Youâll definitely be the most beautiful woman tonight. Cheer up!â
She wanted to get to know Lin Hengâs friends through Qiao Jierou so that she could get the chance to get to know the little master of the Su family.
If Qiao Jierou was dejected, how could she do that?
At the thought of this, Qiao Jierou immediately perked up.
Sure enough, a moment later, Lin Hengâs friends came over. A group of men and women came to talk to Qiao Jierou.
âJierou, the gown youâre wearing is part of the autumn collection from M that Lin Heng ordered for you, right?â
âIt suits your temperament!â
âLin Heng sure is at ease. Isnât he afraid that Mr. Su will take a fancy to you?â
Qiao Jierou quickly recovered her mood and said with a smile, âMr. Su is high up in the air. Itâs impossible for him to take a fancy to me. Besides, I only have Brother Lin Heng in my heart.â
âI know that your relationship with Lin Heng is stronger than gold.â
âHahaha, are you here to show off your PDA again?â
âThe little master of the Su family might have taken a fancy to Mengyu, right, Mengyu?â Qiao Jierou teased.
Although she said that, Qiao Jierou knew that it was most likely impossible.
Mengyuâs looks were even inferior to hers. How could she get close to the Su family?
However, if Jiang Mengyu had such thoughts, she would naturally try her best to cling to her. It would be beneficial to her. Thus, Qiao Jierou did not mind stringing her along.
Jiang Mengyu held her glass of red wine and smiled. âSister Jierou, you must be joking. Actually, I just said a few words to Little Master and spent some time with him.â
âWow, you talked to Little Master?â someone immediately said enviously.
âYes, Little Master is quite approachable.â
Jiang Mengyu said without changing her expression.
As for what they talked about, it was what Little Master had said in front of everyone back then.
As Jiang Mengyu was standing far away and there were many people, she could not even see what Little Master looked like.
She only dared to brag. She even had the cheek to say that she had a deep relationship with Little Master.
It made some people believe her.
Xiao Bao sat in the inner hall. Naturally, there were people outside who helped him find out about this and reported everything to him.
Hearing Jiang Mengyu brag without thinking, he sneered.
âI do have a good relationship with her.â
He even splashed a bucket of paint on her.
He wondered if she still remembered that feeling.
Now, Jiang Mengyuâs short hair was all thanks to that bucket of paint.
âGo, prepare this and let them draw it.â Xiao Baoâs lips curled into an evil smile as he instructed his subordinates in detail.
Qiao Jierou and the others were chattering.
Just then, an attendant in a suit and leather shoes appeared in front of everyone.
âWelcome to Mr. Suâs annual cocktail party tonight. In order to thank everyone for your support of the Su family, Little Master specially prepared some gifts for everyone.â
Hearing Xiao Baoâs name, everyone was very excited.
The selection seemed to still be going on. Many people participated in that grand occasion.
Was Little Master going to continue the event this time?
Thinking of this, many young women of suitable age were tempted.
The previous selection was inconclusive. Who knew if a real candidate had been chosen?
Everyone immediately touched their hair. Everyoneâs clothes were not inferior tonight, so they were naturally filled with anticipation.
Jiang Mengyu was even more expectant.
Even Qiao Jierou touched her short hair. She didnât know what kind of person Little Master would like.
If she was really selected⊠She couldnât help but think about it. Should she choose Mr. Su or insist on being with Brother Lin Heng?
For a moment, she hesitated, unable to make a decision.
âWhat did Little Master prepare for everyone?â
âThatâs right. Is he going to choose someone this time?â
âNo matter what it is, Iâll gladly accept it.â
All the women discussed in low voices.
Some women who had no intention of participating also gathered around curiously.
The attendant smiled and said, âLittle Master has prepared hair clips, but each one is of a different style. You can draw lots first. Youâll then get your own hair clip and wear it on your head.â
Jiang Mengyuâs face lit up. As expected, Little Master hadnât forgotten about choosing a mommy!
Men and older women would definitely not participate in this event.
Wasnât it obvious that he was targeting all the young women?
The others had the same thoughts as her.
âWhen are we going to start drawing lots?â someone asked impatiently.
