Best Dead, Lest Be A Hindrance (2)

And now, the very reason she was getting ready to go out this afternoon was to partic.i.p.ate in this so-called, solely initiated and organised by Liang Dou Kou, socialite gathering.

It was only after she grabbed her keys and started the car that she remembered that today was Friday, the day this car was prohibited on the road[1].

It wasn’t that there wasn’t any other car in this villa. It was just that they all belonged to Gu Yu Sheng and Qin Zhi Ai had no thoughts of touching them. Qin Zhi Ai was afraid she wouldn’t arrive on time if she got Zhou Jing to send an agency van[2] over so she directly called for a chauffeured car[3] while still sitting inside her car.

She didn’t know who picked the location of the gathering, but it was in a hot spring retreat in the suburbs.

When Qin Zhi Ai arrived at the private room specified on the WeChat group page, quite a lot of people had already arrived and it was very bustling and lively.

Although in Beijing, the Liangs were not as influential as the Gu Clan, they were still considered a prominent clan. For Liang Dou Kou to be able to arrange this sort of gathering, she naturally held a solid status among the daughters of n.o.ble families in Beijing. That was why, once Qin Zhi Ai arrived, many people surrounded her one after another to greet her.

It was only when Qin Zhi Ai finally finished exchanging niceties with every person, and sat down, that she surprisingly discovered that Jiang Qian Qian had also come.

Qin Zhi Ai’s temples instinctively twitched. Before she was even properly seated, Jiang Qian Qian had already come up to her with a sweet and brilliant smile. “Liang-jiejie[4], you’re here? Perfect, let me introduce you to someone. This is my boyfriend, Lin Rong.”

After that, Jiang Qian Qian turned her head, and said to Lin Rong in a cute voice, “Lin Rong, this is Liang Dou Kou, the older cousin I’ve mentioned to you before. She’s the wife of the young master of the Gu Family.”

Lin Rong politely gave Qin Zhi Ai a small nod. “h.e.l.lo.”

Qin Zhi Ai remained cool and unruffled. Although she was curious about what Jiang Qian Qian trying to pull this time, her face didn’t expose a slightest hint of her thoughts. With a calm look on her face, she returned, “h.e.l.lo.”

After Qin Zhi Ai and Lin Rong exchanged greetings, Jiang Qian Qian said to Lin Rong in a spoiled tone, “Ah’rong[5], I want to eat grapes.”

With almost no hesitation, Lin Rong stood up, went to the self-service food area and brought back some grapes for Jiang Qian Qian.

As soon as Lin Rong seated himself next to Jiang Qian Qian, Jiang Qian Qian wrinkled her brows. “I just had my nails done. I don’t want to peel……”

This time, before she had even finished speaking, Lin Rong had already reached out to grab a grape and helped her peel off the skin.

ring the entire time she was eating grapes, Jiang Qian Qian made an endless number of small requests. One moment she wanted to drink milk tea, the other moment she wanted juice. Lin Rong temper was extremely good. No matter how many requests Jiang Qian Qian made, he accommodated them all with a gentle expression on his face.

On the side, many of the girls saw the whole course of events. One of the girls, who had a good relations.h.i.+p with Jiang Qian Qian, couldn’t help but say with envy, “Qian Qian, your boyfriend treats you so well.”

“Ehh, if a man truly likes a woman, he will definitely treat her well……” Jiang Qian Qian deliberately emphasized and lengthened the ‘ehh[6]’ and then turned to Qin Zhi Ai, as if she was searching for her agreement. She blinked; her expression soft and harmless, and asked, “……Liang-jiejie, what I said is true, right?”
