Chapter 94: Chapter 93: One Hundred Thousand Yuan

"Oh Jingjing, how come you know this waiter, and didn’t introduce us, sisters?"

Qiao Jing is five centimeters shorter than Tang Xi, but at this moment, standing on fifteen-centimeter heels, she looked down on Tang Xi, "This one here is named Tang Xi. Don’t be fooled by her innocent looks, she’s quite the flirt on the inside. Probably came here to scout out my birthday banquet in advance, trying to snag a rich guy."

Gazing at Tang Xi like a proud swan, she asked, "Who have you set your sights on this time? Let me help you with the introductions. Young Master Song, An Shao? Or maybe Young Master Xu?"

Several well-dressed socialites laughed heartily and pointed at Tang Xi.

"Jingjing, let’s not get too close to these kinds of people; they reek of poverty and it’s unbearable."

"Look at her wearing the waiter’s outfit, deliberately accentuating her figure; standing with someone like this really devalues us."

Tang Xi was truly wronged. Whose fault is it if she has a good figure?

Not wanting to bother with these socialites, Tang Xi carried her tray to one side.

From behind, Qiao Jing kept her gaze on Tang Xi, teeth clenched and about to rage when suddenly someone called her name, "Jingjing, look quickly, Cheng Yunlang has arrived."

Qiao Jing’s face lit up with a smile as she looked at Cheng Yunlang. She hurried over, "Yun Lang brother, I knew you would come."

Her birthday would be perfect only with Cheng Yunlang’s participation.

Cheng Yunlang presented his gift, a tone cold but still maintaining basic courtesy, "This was prepared by my mother. I hope you like it, happy birthday, Qiao Jing."

Qiao Jing couldn’t wait to receive it and unwrap it.

"Ah, Yun Lang brother, is this ring from you?"

At such a high-class banquet hall, the lighting was exceptionally good.

A sapphire ring surrounded by a circle of tiny diamonds.

It looked incredibly luxurious and eye-catching.

Qiao Jing quickly slipped it onto her finger, unable to part with it, "Yun Lang brother, thank you, I love it."

The surrounding ladies gathered around.

"It’s so beautiful."

"Young Master Cheng treats you so well."

"I heard Young Master Cheng is going to get engaged to Jingjing. When is it? Share a little with me."

Meanwhile, Cheng Yunlang’s expression changed.

This gift was prepared by his mother and he had no prior knowledge; it was a ring.

What the implication of a ring is, who doesn’t know among adults?

How could his mother do this!

Asking him to come, he came, and yet!

To have prepared a diamond ring and in front of so many people, wouldn’t this mean...

Cheng Yunlang calmly explained, "Qiao Jing, this was prepared by my mother."

At this moment, Qiao Jing’s heart was blooming with joy, unable to heed his words, she quickly clung to Cheng Yunlang’s arm, "Yun Lang brother, I understand your intentions, no matter who gave it, I like it."

Cheng Yunlang silently withdrew his hand.

Looking for a place to sit in the rest area, he caught sight of Tang Xi.

He walked over briskly, "Tang Xi, you’re here too."

Seeing Tang Xi in the waiter’s uniform, he understood everything in his heart.

Tang Xi knew she couldn’t avoid it.

She would have preferred to beg the manager to let her work in the regular private rooms two hours ago.

Nodding at Cheng Yunlang, Tang Xi offered a polite, courteous smile and turned with her tray to arrange the food on the long banquet table.

"Jingjing that woman is so cheap, seducing Young Master Cheng so blatantly, the whole North City knows that Young Master Cheng belongs to our Jingjing."

"Exactly, that woman does not even look at what she brings to the table, she’s not even worthy of a single hair on Young Master Cheng’s head..."

Qiao Jing held her champagne with a fierce look in her eyes, as she stared at Tang Xi’s back.

And watching Cheng Yunlang continuously gaze at Tang Xi, she stomped her foot!

This woman Tang Xi, Qiao Jing will not let her off!

How did Xiao Chi even handle things, unable to get this type of woman!

Qiao Jing’s phone rang—it was Xiao Chi. Qiao Jing could hardly contain her anger; before, it was said that Xiao Chi had handled this destitute woman, publicly announcing her as his girlfriend, but now, she’s off seducing Yun Lang!

As she answered the call, Qiao Jing’s voice was dripping with grievance.

On the other end, Xiao Chi frowned upon hearing her, "Jingjing, what happened? Don’t cry, I’ve got some things here and need to come over later..."

At this moment, at the Xiao Family residence.

Mei Huiru looked at her son, "What’s so good about that Miss Qiao from the Qiao Family that makes you so obsessed? She likes Cheng Yunlang, and I reckon the Qiao and Cheng families are already discussing an arranged marriage. Why are you getting involved?"

Mrs. Xiao couldn’t understand why her own son was so infatuated with Qiao Jing.

Bewitched to such an extent...

Having just returned from a trip abroad with a few questionable friends, he had barely stayed at home before hurrying to celebrate Qiao Jing’s birthday.

She had seen photos of Qiao Jing and met her a few times at banquets, just a white lotus pretending to be pure, pretty on the outside but sickeningly pure-hearted, and yet her son was so bewitched.

This enraged Mei Huiru immensely.

Xiao Chi quickly came over to soothe her, sitting beside her and cajoling, "Mom, just let me go. I’m bored at home anyway... besides, don’t you want to try the plum cakes from Street Heart Alley? I’ll bring some back for you when I come home."

"Okay Mom, I’m going now."

"I promise to come back early tonight, and definitely won’t drink too much."

After saying that, Xiao Chi dashed off, leaving Mei Huiru sighing at her son, thinking what is there to gain from being a licked dog – her son, handsome and rich, with good family background, how could his taste be so poor...

"Madam, don’t be angry... Young Master has liked Miss Qiao for so many years... Back when Young Master fell into the water, Miss Qiao saved him, and he fell for her. Although he’s been flighty over the years, he’s still very dedicated to Miss Qiao. Why don’t you try visiting the Qiao Family..."

Mei Huiru sighed, "Qiao Jing’s heart isn’t set on Chi at all, even if I go there shamelessly, it won’t make any difference..."

The butler spoke, "I heard... Young Master has a girlfriend, a doctor he’s pursued for a long time, and they went on a trip together, to that tourism project developed by the Fu Group, seemed very happy..."

Mei Huiru grew interested, "Oh? What’s her name, what does she look like, and what’s her family situation?"

If it can make Chi happy, all these could be overlooked—as long as it takes him away from Qiao Jing, Mei Huiru would be grateful to this woman.

"Her name is Tang Xi... a resident doctor in thoracic surgery at the First Hospital..."

Mei Huiru nodded, this, she decided to go and see...

-

A foot blocked Tang Xi’s path.

The woman staggered a step, nearly falling; she struggled to steady the champagne on the tray—the bottle was worth a hundred thousand, if spilled, she couldn’t afford it.

Fortunately, she didn’t fall.

But the socialite was not pleased, "Do you know how much my shoes cost? Even if you’re sold, you couldn’t afford them!"

"Who says so, I’ll pay a hundred thousand, is that enough?" Zhang Chen and a few young masters approached, his gaze sweeping over Tang Xi. Since that time on the island, he had taken a fancy to this woman.

Regrettably, as Xiao’s girlfriend, he couldn’t make a move.

Now it was different...

The socialite frowned and looked at Zhang Chen, "Young Master Zhang, a hundred thousand could buy a much cleaner high-class escort; you’re really generous..."
