918 Enviable
“I want to, I want to!” Bai Youyou’s eyes lit up. On her thin face, her big eyes appeared eerie and paranoid, with a dreamlike expression that seemed somewhat terrifying. But soon, her happy expression turned into anger as she gritted her teeth and said, “No! That despicable woman is with Ji Yan. She deceived Ji Yan and stole him away,”
“Do you want to replace her?” Cheng Songyang smiled faintly. On the surface, he embraced Bai Youyou, offering deep consolation, but his eyes gleamed with an eerie light. He lowered his voice and said to Bai Youyou, “If she’s no longer here, Ji Yan will belong to you. He will smile at you, protect you, treat you well, and give you everything in the world…”
“She’s no longer here?” Bai Youyou repeated in a daze, as if a door to a new world had opened. Yes, if Shen Hanxing hadn’t appeared, if Shen Hanxing wasn’t there, Ji Yan wouldn’t have fallen in love with her. He would have waited for her to return and be with her. As long as Shen Hanxing was gone, everything would return to the beginning. She would definitely be able to live happily with Ji Yan. Ji Yan was originally hers!
Bai Youyou’s eyes sparkled strangely as she repeated excitedly, “She doesn’t exist. She’s not here. As long as she’s not here… Make her disappear…”
A cold smile flashed in Cheng Songyang’s eyes. Once again, he held Bai Youyou in his arms and snapped his fingers near her ear. “Good, you’ve finally found a way to win back Ji Yan,” he whispered softly in Bai Youyou’s ear. “Now, go and have a piece of cake to calm your emotions. It’s okay, no need to rush. You will definitely come up with the perfect plan and achieve your goal. Go now…”
“Not here… Eat cake… Make her disappear…” Bai Youyou murmured to herself, slowly straightening her body. Her emaciated figure moved like an unresponsive puppet as she walked step by step to the dessert table. She kept whispering to herself while picking up a piece of cake and putting it in her mouth. The sweetness spread between her lips and teeth, and she instinctively raised her eyebrows, revealing a hint of a smile. The cake was delicious, and at the same time, she had a brilliant idea.
As today’s protagonist, Shen Hanxing was the center of attention. People surrounded her. It could be said that she was not highly regarded in the old school high society circle, but many young masters and socialites treated her with warmth and enthusiasm.
The gazes of the socialite ladies towards Shen Hanxing were filled with admiration, each one behaving like a well-behaved little white rabbit in front of her.
Just as Shen Hanxing held a wine gla.s.s and was surrounded by people, a voice rang out, “Mrs. Ji.”
Wearing a well-fitted red evening gown, Wei Xi’er, with her curvaceous figure, stood not far away, silently observing. Her curly hair cascaded behind her head, and she still had her signature fiery red lips, but her complexion was unusually gloomy. She swayed the wine gla.s.s in her hand, slightly curling her lips, and asked, “Care for a drink alone?”
The gazes of the crowd lingered between Shen Hanxing and Wei Xi’er, carrying a hint of surprise. These two belonged to one of the three giants in S City, and their relationship was already quite subtle. Moreover, it was widely known that Shen Hanxing and Zhuang Li had a bad relationship, while Wei Xi’er was currently Zhuang Li’s fiancée… Normally, these two wouldn’t be friends, let alone allies. What was going on in this situation?
As if not noticing the curious gazes of the crowd, Shen Hanxing calmly raised her wine gla.s.s and gestured to the people, “Sorry, I’ll be right back.”
“Mrs. Ji, please go ahead.” The crowd responded, as Ji Corporation and Wei Corporation were currently in the limelight. Regardless of what they thought, no one would show any sign of disrespect on the surface. They made way for Shen Hanxing.
Shen Hanxing smiled and walked slowly toward Wei Xi’er. Wei Xi’er raised an eyebrow, looking Shen Hanxing up and down a few times before bursting into laughter. She extended her fair hand, “Thank you, Mrs. Ji, for gracing me with your presence.”
Shen Hanxing didn’t respond verbally but instead placed her hand in Wei Xi’er’s palm.
In a corner, Wei Xi’er let out a soft breath and turned her head to look at Shen Hanxing, sighing, “Mrs. Ji, you truly shine brightly now, attracting everyone’s attention wherever you go. It must be enviable to be under such a spotlight, to feel the gazes of so many people.” They were just standing here, yet they could already feel the numerous eyes directed at them.
