He wasn’t really a fool; he knew that Zhao Qiankun couldn’t be offended, so he spoke in a very low voice, audible only to Qu Qiancheng, Qu Xiuhong, and Lu Weiwei beside him. Qu Qiancheng and Qu Xiuhong, thinking of Zhao Qiankun’s personality, unconsciously furrowed their brows and worried about Fang Yuxin. Lu Weiwei quickly glanced at Fang Yuxin, who stood by Qu Qianhe looking charming and alluring, and frowned unhappily—Qu Qianhe really was lucky! Having such a beautiful daughter, if they could cozy up to Zhao Qiankun, wouldn’t Qu Qianhe be able to turn her fate around?
Lu Weiwei couldn’t help but start to worry; she had always been at odds with Qu Qianhe. If Qu truly got on Zhao Qiankun’s good side, she might well seek revenge! She must stop this from happening!
So, Lu Weiwei carefully recollected the situation of the Fang Family. As she thought about it, something occurred to her! When Fang Yuxin and Qiu Yiming were engaged, although not many knew and it wasn’t reported in the media, Qu Xiuhong, being an extraordinary person, still found out. He even went around and sent a large gift to the Fang Family and had a private discussion with her, thinking that this son-in-law was a decent man and Fang Yuxin was fortunate.
She was quite dissatisfied at the time, so this event was especially memorable to her. Now, it came to her mind. With a turn of her eyes, she deliberately smiled, "This child is Xinxin, right? She’s grown so much? She’s really pretty. Eh? I thought you were already married, isn’t your husband here with you?" As she spoke, she sneakily watched Zhao Qiankun’s expression and indeed saw his face turn ugly, feeling a surge of triumph inside!
However, Fang Yuxin looked at her with a half-smile, "I wonder where Mrs. Qu heard that I was married? Such an important event, and I, the person concerned, don’t know about it?"
Lu Weiwei wasn’t flustered, being older and not a naïve girl who hadn’t experienced life, it wasn’t so easy to catch her off guard. She deliberately put on a surprised face, "Not married? Oh, that must be a mistake. It should be the engagement! I remember the young man’s family name was Qiu, right? You’ve been engaged for quite a while—I thought you had already married. Haven’t you?"
Fang Yuxin didn’t answer her question. Instead, she smiled, "So Mrs. Qu takes such an interest in my life decisions, I am truly flattered. However..." her tone changed mid-sentence, "even if your charm rivals your younger days, Mr. Zhao is also a handsome young man; you shouldn’t keep staring at him. Mr. Qu is right next to you, madam. It’s better to restrain yourself a little to avoid any misunderstandings."
Lu Weiwei was smiling until this comment, and then her smile froze. She had been cautious, but how could she outwit Fang Yuxin’s Spiritual Sense? Others were already sneakily watching this side, and at this remark, they instinctively looked at Lu Weiwei to see if she had indeed been gazing at Zhao Qiankun all along.
Speaking of which, Lu Weiwei’s outfit was really somewhat unbecoming of her status. Among the hostesses present, none dressed like her, at her mature age still styled like a seductive demon, and even showing off half her chest—truly unseemly!
Carefully observing, the attires of the women at the cocktail party were quite interesting. Those dressed decently were someone’s daughter or a wife; those who dressed more provocatively were clearly of a type that served through allure. Lu Weiwei, the wife of the Qu Family Patriarch, yet dressed , was simply a joke in everyone’s eyes! Now with Fang Yuxin’s remark, many quietly laughed.
The Qu Family’s faces turned unsightly. Qu Qianlin, ever impulsive, started cursing at Fang Yuxin, "You filthy woman, how dare you speak like that? Want me to shut you up?" He had just finished when he felt a chill throughout his body, and then found himself facing Zhao Qiankun’s icy gaze. Remembering Zhao Qiankun’s status, he didn’t dare to be reckless anymore and sneaked a disdainful glance at Fang Yuxin.
Not far away, Bai Ye watched Qu Qianlin with equally cold eyes, nearly losing control of his urge to kill.
Fang Jintang, Qu Qianhe, and Fang Yuyang all had completely darkened faces. It wasn’t important that Qu Qianlin cursed them, but he daring to curse at Fang Yuxin? However, before they could utter a word, Fang Yuxin spoke out uncompromisingly, "I don’t believe it, just a rich kid sheltered by his family, and there he goes spouting nonsense. Qu Qianlin, if it wasn’t for respect toward Mr. Zhao, I would have dealt with you long ago. You really think I’m afraid of you?"
"Heh!" Qu Qianlin scoffed disdainfully at Fang Yuxin, "You really dare say it! Thinking that Zhao Qiankun supports you and I wouldn’t touch you?"
Qu Qiancheng couldn’t stand watching anymore, he tightly grabbed Qu Qianlin’s arm, and whispered a warning in his ear, "Shut up! Don’t embarrass us further! Eh?"
Qu Qianlin was dissatisfied, feeling he was right; it was obviously the Fang Family stirring trouble! And Fang Yuxin was too arrogant! He glared at Qu Qiancheng, "Bro! Whose side are you on? Didn’t you see how arrogant that damned girl is? Let me teach her a lesson! She really doesn’t know her place!"
Qu Qiancheng wanted to say more, but Fang Yuxin spoke again, her voice cold, "Mr. Qu! Make your words clear! How did Mr. Zhao support me?"
At this, Qu Qianlin sneered, "Look at how you’re dressed like a demon, isn’t it just to seduce Zhao Qiankun? As if everyone else is blind!"
