Chapter 351: Chapter 351 Hate Her.

Cheng Shaoqing turned his head, looking at Fu Shinuan with cold eyes, "What are you still following me for?"

"I..."

Fu Shinuan adjusted her skirt, her face full of confusion. She didn’t understand why Cheng Shaoqing would suddenly treat her this way; he seemed quite happy to see her when they arrived at the banquet.

Just a moment ago, when she tried to take Cheng Shaoqing’s arm, he rejected her and even told her not to follow him anymore.

Tonight she was his companion, if she didn’t follow him, whom should she follow instead?

"Heh! Was I wrong?" Cheng Shaoqing’s handsome face was full of indifference, "Didn’t I tell you before not to provoke Ye Zhenzhen? And what were you doing?"

Just then, he had seen Fu Shinuan talking with Ye Zhenzhen about something. After he finished socializing and went to look for Fu Shinuan, walking up behind her, he just happened to overhear her badmouthing Ye Zhenzhen with two other women.

Considering there were many people around, he did not go over to interrupt them directly but left from behind instead.

Fu Shinuan pursed her lips awkwardly, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s, "I... I didn’t do anything, did you misunderstand me?"

As she said this, even she herself felt guilty.

"Shaoqing, you... are you angry?"

Cheng Shaoqing’s face showed a hint of mockery, and he leaned in to whisper coldly in Fu Shinuan’s ear, "Fu Shinuan, don’t play dumb with me. We are not boyfriend and girlfriend. For me to be angry at you, you’re not even qualified."

After that, Cheng Shaoqing straightened up, his face showing a faint smile, his voice still indifferent, "Our relationship ends now. After the banquet ends, I’ll have my driver take you home."

"But Shaoqing, you once said..."

Fu Shinuan’s voice was very soft, carrying a sense of meekness.

But the more she acted this way, the less Cheng Shaoqing would take her seriously. He lowered his voice, "No matter what I have said, consider you never heard it, okay? I’ve always disliked trouble and entanglements with women, so I hope you won’t take it too seriously.

Otherwise, that little incident of you secretly using my card to make a down payment, we’re going to have to talk about it."

He was okay with spending money on a woman, but it didn’t mean a woman could use his card to do things he didn’t know about in secret.

Upon hearing about the down payment on the house, Fu Shinuan’s heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale in an instant.

She thought Cheng Shaoqing wouldn’t care, and even if he did, he wouldn’t bring it up...

Fu Shinuan watched Cheng Shaoqing’s retreating figure, her heart a tumult of emotions, while observing Ye Zhenzhen, who, like the spotlight’s focus, was holding a man’s hand, beautiful, elegant, and luxurious.

Earlier, she was only intent on mocking and disliking Ye Zhenzhen, but she would never have thought that Ye Zhenzhen, a little star, would have such a husband; just now, the surrounding people were saying that the man was the president of Huanya Group.

At this moment, she suddenly began to hate her own mouth.

Why couldn’t she just keep enduring, keep pretending...

Inside the banquet hall, the crowd was hustling and bustling, and Han Jiangxue stood in the corner, her gaze fixed unwaveringly on Ye Zhenzhen, who held Song Jinze’s arm, receiving compliments and flattery from various business luminaries and wealthy elites...

Such a scene made her chest heave more rapidly, and she had already forgotten all about managing her expression.

She bit down hard on her back teeth, everything was happening too suddenly, too quickly, it was unbelievable and intolerable, absolutely intolerable!

She was in the middle of a divorce with Shen Zhaonan, and Shen Yibo, that chubby kid, wouldn’t pay attention to her anymore, yet Ye Zhenzhen not only had such a handsome husband but her stepson Song Yuchen liked her a lot.

And most importantly, that man was one of the top tycoons in Jiangcheng!

Han Jiangxue’s hands clenched into fists, and in her heart, she bitterly believed it was Ye Zhenzhen who had obstructed everything for her—this moment of happiness and glory should have belonged to her.

It should have been her holding Shen Zhaonan’s hand, wandering through this opulent banquet hall...

Previously in the circle, whether on set or elsewhere, it had always been Ye Zhenzhen who was at her disadvantage, inferior in every respect and targeting her at every turn. She detested Ye Zhenzhen to the core and even wanted to use a variety show to drive Ye Zhenzhen out of the industry.

But somehow, beginning with that variety show, all things changed. That house she thought belonged to her, along with all the halos, were all stolen by that bitch, Ye Zhenzhen.

She watched, powerless, as Ye Zhenzhen became better than her in everything, and now she had even witnessed that handsome and dashing man introduce himself as Ye Zhenzhen’s husband...

How could she possibly endure that in her heart!

She loathed him, hated her, hated her intensely, wishing she could disappear from this place immediately!

All that was happening tonight was unbearable for her; she had come wanting to see Ye Zhenzhen ruined and disgraced, not stealing the spotlight in such a triumphantly imposing manner.

Snapping back to reality, Han Jiangxue couldn’t afford to dwell any further; she moved her feet, searching for Su Jin’s figure, the plan for tonight absolutely could not change...

...

This banquet became interesting because of Song Jinze’s self-introduction onstage.

When Ye Zhenzhen arrived earlier, there had been plenty of murmurs throughout the hall. Men and women alike, acquainted or not, would give Ye Zhenzhen strange looks after seeing her.

Men who didn’t know her thought Ye Zhenzhen was radiantly beautiful, someone they couldn’t take their eyes off of.

Men who knew of Ye Zhenzhen felt she married an old man for his money, and now paraded around in her stepson’s company, garishly dressed and socializing everywhere, which was truly contemptible.

The women, however, were different. Whether they knew her or not, envy was universal, and aside from that, their discussions centered mostly on Ye Zhenzhen’s beauty and her marriage.

It was not until Song Jinze took the stage and introduced himself that the audience’s feelings shifted from shock, disbelief, and incredulity to acceptance.

Now, one by one, they were all eager to present themselves in front of Ye Zhenzhen and Song Jinze.

The most outrageous were the female companions of the business world elites, each one claiming to be a fan, cozying up to her, and even Xiao Chen’s face was pinched several times by these odd aunties.

Song Yuchen covered his little face with his hands, pouting in dissatisfaction, "Mom, those aunties are so annoying!"

They should just talk and praise him if they must, why did they have to rub his little face while doing so?

Now, his little face was only for Ye Zhenzhen to touch!

Ye Zhenzhen patted the little guy’s head, "In a while, when the banquet ends, how about we go home, okay?"

"Okay, I’m going to play with Yibo. I’ll come find you guys later."

Ye Zhenzhen saw Yibo with his mother and hesitated; what if the child got lost?

Song Jinze whispered in her ear, "Don’t worry, the bodyguards are watching."

After hearing this, Ye Zhenzhen agreed to Xiao Chen’s request, "Okay, you go ahead."

Once the little guy ran off, Ye Zhenzhen then complained to the man beside her, "It’s your fault. If you hadn’t put on that act onstage just now, Xiao Chen and I wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble."

Xiao Chen had his little face pinched, and her own face was stiff from forced smiles. One person after another—it was tiring and so fake, acting never required this much effort!
