Chapter 73: This Was Nothing Like a Normal Suitor Relationship

Thankfully, the four words “Second Young Master Fu” weren’t just four words. They had become a symbol of untouchable wealth and status, and that unreachable sense of distance made many people back off.

Besides, Zhou Wen An had already led Fu Qing Han and Jiang Shi Yue to a quiet place.

The people at the banquet knew Fu Qing Han didn’t like being disturbed, so they mostly gave up.

It was quiet here, with only Fu Qing Han and Jiang Shi Yue left.

“… Zhou Yan Feng isn’t here. Isn’t he coming to his sister’s birthday banquet?” Jiang Shi Yue leaned close to Fu Qing Han and lowered her voice.

Fu Qing Han gave a slight nod, his tone calm. “Don’t rush. Someone already told me – he’s on the way.” Then he looked at Jiang Shi Yue and asked lightly, “Miss Jiang, have you noticed anything unusual?”

“No.” Jiang Shi Yue answered honestly. “Everyone’s mental power is unique. If that person shows up, I’ll definitely feel it.”

From far away, Zhou Ling watched Jiang Shi Yue and Fu Qing Han talking.

In that instant, she felt deeply unwilling.

The way the two of them looked so close – how was that like a normal suitor relationship?

Jiang Shi Yue was really scheming, actually keeping Fu Qing Han hooked the whole time.

Sure enough, her mother was right: women from small, ordinary families were born restless. They poured all their energy into seducing men.

The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

Zhou Ling immediately walked up to Jiang Shi Yue and Fu Qing Han.

She gave Fu Qing Han a slight nod. Her smile was at the perfect angle, her gaze was just right, and she didn’t say much, every bit the reserved young lady of a great family.

In terms of etiquette, she seemed flawless.

After all, she’d studied it properly.

Then she smiled at Jiang Shi Yue. “Miss Jiang, even though this is our first meeting, I feel like we’ve known each other forever. Would you mind if I introduce you to my sisters?”

Jiang Shi Yue glanced at Fu Qing Han. He looked at her with an almost-smile, and Jiang Shi Yue understood the meaning in his eyes.

He wanted her to use this chance to look around the banquet and observe.

She rolled her eyes inside, then smiled brightly. “Miss Zhou, of course I don’t mind. I feel the same way about you – like we’ve known each other forever.”

Zhou Ling smiled sweetly and quickly hooked her arm through Jiang Shi Yue’s in a friendly, intimate way.

Zhou Ling’s little circle of rich-girl friends were all daughters of wealthy families, raised in money from the cradle. Each of them was sharp about social games, and the moment they saw Jiang Shi Yue come over, they instantly switched into full mutual-flattery mode.

They pulled her into a round of friendly sisterly chatting.

“Shi Yue, what do you usually do?”

Jiang Shi Yue thought back for a moment. Since coming to this Parallel Time-Space, it seemed like the thing she’d done most was beat people up.

Thinking that, Jiang Shi Yue gave a polite smile. “I like working out.”

“As expected of a Miss from the Jiang Family, you live so healthily. Unlike me, I just love lying in bed and playing on my phone.” One of the girls gushed.

Another couldn’t help rolling her eyes. Yeah, right – don’t think we don’t know you practice yoga behind our backs and hire a private coach.

Someone else asked, “Miss Jiang, how did you meet Second Young Master Fu?”

That question instantly voiced every girl’s curiosity.

They all stared at Jiang Shi Yue with wide, eager eyes.

Honestly, they were dying to know. With Second Young Master Fu’s status, no one here would ever come into contact with him in their whole lives, so how had Jiang Shi Yue made him so devoted to her?

“Because I helped him with something.” Jiang Shi Yue answered honestly.

Everyone: …

Yeah, right. A woman’s mouth was full of lies. What kind of help could a man like Second Young Master Fu possibly need from you?
