Chapter 329 Engagemen
"No.. I don"t like him," her blunt answer stunned everyone on the room. Shen Rong was an honest person. Although she had been trying to control herself in this place, she can no longer hold it. Especially knowing that everyone was now talking about her marriage.
"Rong"er he is an excellent man. Why don"t you like him? Do you have a boyfriend abroad?" one of her cousin"s name Shen Jingsi asked.
"Jingsi is right... Rong"er, that Wenhao is a very good kid. Why don"t we set up and engagement between you and him?" Another elder asked.
Shen Rong smiled at everyone as her gaze landed on Shen Jingsi. "It"s okay... Elder, I am not in a hurry. Why don"t we set him up with Cousin Jingsi instead? After all Cousin Jingsi is older than me."
Shen Jingsi bashfully lowered her head as her ears turned red. "Don"t say something like that Rong"er.. Wenhao and I can only be friends. I can"t possibly marry someone who I only see as a brother."
Shen Rong instantly sneered inwardly. If she did not hear Zhang Wenhao and Shen Jingsi"s lewd noises at the back of the garden last night then she might believe this cousin of hers. She chose not to answer and continue drinking her tea.
She needed to get away from this place and bring her father and sister with her. Shen Rong instantly made a mental note to call Jiang Yue later to tell her that she wanted to go back to Xin City.
These people already started suggesting for a marriage partner. If she would not go home, she might end up marrying someone she does not like in this place.
....
While Shen Rong was having a hard time dealing with her relatives, Jiang Yue was enjoying herself while watching Xuan"er and everyone else act like clowns in front of her. They were telling her about some pieces of jewelry that they bought in an auction abroad which cost them almost twelve million. It was a big diamond that is rumored to give you nothing but good lucks.
Xuan"er even told everyone how her life changed after that event.
Jiang Yue could only laugh inwardly as Xuan"er talk and talk about her achievements to everyone. For her, it was so comical and nonsense that she could not even bother joining their conversation.
This Xuan"er just had a piece of scandalous news last night. Did she think that Jiang Yue would forget?
"I"m sorry? What did you say?" Jiang Yue asked. She knew that someone was asking her something, yet she was not able to hear it properly.
"I was asking about the jewelry that you wore on your eighteen birthday. There was a rumor that it was from the Fu Family given by Fu Jin who was still your friend at that time." Xuan"er said.
"Oh... that. Yes, it was indeed given by Fu Jin." she nodded.
"Really? He gave you something so expensive even if you are not yet together?" Tang Fei asked.
"Fei Fei... You should learn from Miss Jiang here and learn to use your charms so more men would give you jewelry even if they are not yet your boyfriend... hahaha" Xuan"er condescendingly laughed.
"You are right Xuan"er... Tang Fei.. learn from me. Let men gift you things, not the other way around." Jiang Yue countered. "It would be disgusting if you give material things to a man just to have them like you. Hahaha"
Everyone laughed with Jiang Yue, unaware that Xuan"er was already fuming inside. She was the one trying to make fun of Jiang Yue! Why does everyone seemed to understand the meaning behind Jiang Yue"s words and was laughing at her instead?
