For men, a young and beautiful wife could bring them glory.

For women, a loving husband could bring them admiration.

These women seemed to talk in a harmonious and enjoyable atmosphere, when in fact, they were just showing off and comparing themselves to each other.

Jiang Qianqian hadn’t gotten married and didn’t even have a boyfriend, but she complimented them like a sweet girl.

“Sister Sun, your husband is so good to you!

“Sister Yang, those shoes are very pretty.

“Aunt Xia, you look so gorgeous in this dress!”

Only Qin Zhi’ai stayed silent with a gentle smile.

As for Qin Zhi’ai, the man she had loved for years had married another woman and forgotten who she was, so she had nothing to be proud of.

As Liang Doukou, the man she had married hated her and never regarded her as his wife. He was unwilling to see her, let alone give her gifts.

She had nothing to say to them, so she felt a bit awkward and looked around for an excuse to leave. However, Jiang Qianqian, who was holding her arm, suddenly turned her head and whispered, “Sister Kou, I saw you today, on my way here.”

Qin Zhi’ai was shocked, a bad feeling of foreboding overwhelming her.

“I left home at three o’clock, and I observed you in the car for a long time…” Saying that, Jiang Qianqian smirked. “Sister Kou, it was so hot out there, why was Brother Sheng so ruthless to make you wait in a sketchy alley for such a long time?”

Like she had thought, her awkwardness when she had been waiting for Gu Yusheng had been seen by Jiang Qianqian. It turned out that she was mocking her for being snubbed and treated badly by Gu Yusheng.

Her fingertips trembled in anger, but the emotionless look remained on her face.

“Besides, my sister, I saw that Brother Sheng said nothing to you after you got in the car, and he didn’t wait for you to get out when you arrived here…”

Jiang Qianqian didn’t finish her words, because the chubby woman who had just showed off her handbag suddenly said to her, “Qianqian, what are you whispering about?”

“Nothing, nothing important.” Jiang Qianqian immediately turned her head, and simpered at the women who were looking at them, “You all talk about gifts, so I asked Sister Kou what gifts Brother Sheng had bought her.”

Since these people had come to celebrate the birthday of Old Master Gu, their purpose was to have a good relations.h.i.+p with the Gu Family. Therefore, a simple word from Jiang Qianqian had directed the attention of these wealthy wives to Qin Zhi’ai.
