Therefore, Chen Qiuqiu thought that if she could hook up with Huo Buyu, she’d be able to hold her head high in front of Xiang Jingtian!
“Oh my, the atmosphere here is so strange. What’s wrong?” Ye Yao and Xiang Jingtian walked up together.
When Chen Qiuqiu saw Xiang Jingtian and Ye Yao coming over together, her expression changed slightly.
After Gao Qiao saw Ye Yao, he told her what had happened. “Of course it was awkward. This woman invited Huo Buyu to dance, but he rejected her twice.
She was still there, she seemed indignant…”
Chen Qiuqiu’s expression changed. She looked at Xiang Jingtian in panic and wanted to explain. “I…”
Chen Qiuqiu wished she could tear Gao Qiao’s mouth apart. She didn’t expect Gao Qiao to spread the word so quickly and tell everyone what she had done! Previously, she had thought that Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao were gentlemen. Even if they rejected her, they wouldn’t publicize it. However, Gao Qiao didn’t play by the rules at all!
Ye Yao laughed. “I see. That makes sense. Huo Buyu is so noble and handsome. Any woman would be moved by him. I can’t even control my love for him. I couldn’t help but invite Huo Buyu for a dance. Speaking of which, Huo Buyu, why didn’t you accept Miss Chen Qiuqiu’s invitation? After all, Miss Chen Qiuqiu is quite good-looking.”
Huo Buyu glared at Ye Yao fiercely. Why didn’t he dance with Chen Qiuqiu? Wasn’t it because he already had a girlfriend?! Why did she ask when she already knew the answer?! However, he knew that Ye Yao was being playful now, so he could only play along. “Because I only want to dance once today.”
Xiang Jingtian and Gao Qiao knew that when Huo Buyu said that he only wanted to dance once, he meant that he would only dance with Ye Yao. Therefore, it was impossible for Chen Qiuqiu to get a chance.
As for Xiang Jingtian, he didn’t have much of a reaction to Chen Qiuqiu’s dance invitation to Huo Buyu. He and Chen Qiuqiu were history. Whatever she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it, were her own business. As for her ambitious target, he was very surprised that she dared to have designs on Huo buyu.
Xiang Jingtian said to Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao, “There’s a private room upstairs. The people there are about our age. Shall we go up and have some fun together?”
Huo Buyu and Gao Qiao nodded and left with Xiang Jingtian.
The banquet hall was on the first floor, and the second floor was a private space. The seats were all reserved, and they needed the owner’s permission to go up. Ye Yao naturally followed Huo Buyu upstairs.
Chen Qiuqiu felt like she was invisible and was ignored by them. However, she was indignant. She gritted her teeth and followed behind them. However, while no one stopped Huo Buyu, Gao Qiao, Xiang Jingtian, and Ye Yao when they went upstairs, the bodyguard extended his hand to stop Chen Qiuqiu when it was her turn. “Miss, you can’t go up.”
Chen Qiuqiu’s face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver. All the humiliation and unhappiness she had experienced this evening erupted at this point. “Why is she allowed to go up, but not me!” She pointed directly at Ye Yao, and her tone was filled with hatred. Why could Ye Yao enter but she couldn’t? How was she inferior to Ye Yao!
Ye Yao, Huo Buyu, and Gao Qiao didn’t turn around. Only Xiang Jingtian turned around and glanced at Chen Qiuqiu with unfamiliarity and pity in his eyes.
When Chen Qiuqiu saw Xiang Jingtian turn around, a look of joy appeared on her face. “Jingtian…”
Xiang Jingtian sighed, shook his head, and turned to go upstairs.
Chen Qiuqiu’s face instantly turned ashen. At this moment, she finally understood that she was nothing in the eyes of these members of the upper-class society. Just as she was feeling indignant, someone patted her shoulder. Then, Qin Jiao’s arrogant and domineering voice said to the bodyguard, “This is my friend. I’ll bring her upstairs.”
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment and then made way for Qin Jiao. The Qin family held a high status in the capital, and the young masters and young ladies who were well-known had the right to bring people upstairs. Since Qin Jiao had spoken, he couldn’t stop her.
Qin Jiao naturally held Chen Qiuqiu’s hand. “Let’s go. I’ll take you upstairs.”
Chen Qiuqiu was instantly grateful to Qin Jiao. This was the greatest kindness she had encountered tonight!
“Senior Sister…” Chen Qiuqiu looked at Qin Jiao gratefully. Actually, after
knowing that Xiang Jingtian was the future heir of the Xiang family, she was angry with Qin Jiao for a moment. It was because Qin Jiao had brought her to see the prosperous upper-class society that she started to become materialistic and ran off with a rich old man. If she had persisted for another month, all the wealth and glory would have been hers. However, at this point, after Qin Jiao resolved her embarrassment, her resentment towards Qin Jiao vanished..
