Xuan Yi would definitely not admit anything, so she immediately interrupted: "Miss Tang, what's wrong with you? Please don't be so agitated."
Although she said this, her awkward expression and guilty demeanor had already revealed everything.
[What's wrong with Tang? She's hurt by your despicable behavior.] Ji Fei watched Xuan Yi's performance on the screen with a sense of disbelief.
[According to Xuan Yi's original plan, if any of Luo's relatives had heard their conversation, they would at most only know about Tang and Luo Zhou's relationship. As long as they couldn't see their expressions, hearing that previous conversation would only reveal Luo Zhou's past heartbreak. No one would have guessed that the ex-girlfriend Xuan Yi mentioned was herself.]
Qin Xian couldn't help but sneer; indeed, she hadn't left any loose ends.
But truly clever people wouldn't have exposed the ex-girlfriend story to Tang in the first place. It seems Xuan Yi's jealousy had made her lose her rationality to do such a thing.
"You... shameless!" Tang finally couldn't help but curse out loud.
Xuan Yi's expression changed slightly, and she immediately threatened, "Miss Tang, it's not appropriate to insult your employer like this. After all, I helped you out of your urgent situation. You should be thanking me."
Tang's whole body trembled with anger as she glared at Xuan Yi. "Since you called me here to do makeup, then don't talk about unnecessary things. I have no interest in knowing about these disgusting matters!"
After speaking, Tang seemed completely unwilling to waste any more words with Xuan Yi. She turned her back and began packing up her makeup kit, maintaining her dignity through her work.
From the movements visible on the phone screen, it was clear that Tang was crying, though she was holding back her sobs.
Xuan Yi smiled, finally displaying a superior attitude, and continued condescendingly: "Actually, it's fine if you're with Luo Zhou for money. It's just a relationship he's using to heal his wounds. Beyond that, I hope you won't dream about things that don't belong to you. Even if Luo Zhou made you some extravagant promises, it was just... out of spite. I invited you here today to show you the gap between you and this family."
[Wow, how could she say such things? Could it be that she's gaslighting herself, believing that everything Luo Zhou did was for her? Is she really that confident? If she's really that confident, why come here to harass someone? Poor Tang, getting entangled with two crazy people.]
Qin Xian's expression also turned unfriendly, clearly seeing that Xuan Yi had noticed Luo Zhou's genuine feelings for Tang, which was why she was causing all this trouble. It seemed she didn't want something herself but wouldn't let others have it either. She still thought Luo Zhou was her possession and must remain so.
Tang seemed to have made up her mind to ignore these disgusting people, so she remained silent.
Probably feeling that she had achieved her goal, Xuan Yi stopped pursuing the topic and said directly: "Oh, right, I'm done with my makeup, and my cousin will be coming for makeup later. I hope you're prepared."
Someone else is coming?
Ji Fei and Qin Xian exchanged glances, communicating silently with their eyes, as their current situation wasn't suitable for others to see.
Qin Xian suggested retreating.
Ji Fei hesitated for a moment, but then they heard Xuan Yi's footsteps - she seemed to be coming out. It appeared this drama was ending.
The two quickly left the scene.
Safely back in the first-floor hall, just as Ji Fei was about to look for the Qin family members, Qin Xian pulled her to a corner.
Ji Fei was puzzled until she saw Qin Xian staring at her, uncomfortably pointing at his own lips.
Ji Fei froze, unable to understand Qin Xian's meaning.
He pointed again.
Ji Fei's expression gradually turned strange.
[He couldn't be... wanting me to kiss him, could he?!]
Qin Xian froze.
The Qin family members, who had just been shocked by the drama of the sister-in-law bullying the poor girl, nearly threw out their backs when they heard this thought.
What? What? Their second son, how did he suddenly become so forward, progressing so fast!
But shouldn't there be some build-up? Suddenly asking for a kiss?!
Should they go watch? They seem to be just around the corner.
No, no, how could they watch such things? Wouldn't that be disturbing them?
It's all because Ji Fei got them addicted to drama-watching, now they want to peek at even these kinds of moments.
So... did they kiss?
[Oh, oh, oh, I remember now - it's the lipstick. He's reminding me that I haven't dealt with my excuse from earlier. I scared myself! What was I thinking, jumping to conclusions about kissing?!]
Qin Xian's face started heating up, and he felt somewhat helpless. It seemed that since his confession, Ji Fei had become as jumpy as a frightened bird.
The eavesdropping Qin family members all sighed in unison.
They knew it wouldn't be that easy to fulfill their wishes!
Ji Fei took out her small makeup mirror, wiped her lips a bit, considering it dealt with, and then returned to the wine tasting event with Qin Xian.
Their appearance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Qin Xian's superior appearance and status had always been the focus of attention, and this time Ji Fei wasn't unknown either. That reality show had increased her fame; even without the wedding, these people recognized her at a glance.
Seeing her with Qin Xian, they suddenly understood - no wonder the female artist who had caused such a storm in the entertainment industry could be protected by the Qin family's third son; she was actually the second daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
No wonder... no wonder... Some of their networks had been affected by various incidents during that time, and no matter how they tried to suppress it, they couldn't. It turned out she was a genuine wealthy family's wife - who could compete with that?
And they had heard about the recent class reunion incident too. It was said the couple's relationship was unshakeable, and they had worked together to punish a homewrecker who tried to destroy their family.
Well, they had to accept it, though they'd heard this entertainment industry judge was quite mysterious - who knew if it was real mysticism or just a persona.
People are naturally gossip-loving and curious; if they were more familiar, they'd really want to ask about it.
Ji Fei and Qin Xian were already used to various kinds of stares. With their minds full of drama, they returned to where the Qin family members were seated.
Unexpectedly, the Luo couple was still there accompanying them, clearly showing great respect for the Qin family members.
But the Qin family really didn't need such enthusiastic hospitality - they wanted to privately discuss the hosts' gossip, and it was really frustrating having to hold it in.
Just as the two were about to sit down, they saw someone waving at them from seats not far away - it was Qin Xian's group of friends.
After they went over, they noticed Luo Zhou wasn't there.
Ji Fei immediately wanted to see where that scumbag Luo Zhou was. She was really curious about what would happen next, wondering if these two would run into each other at today's wine tasting event.
With one sweep of her eyes, she saw Luo Zhou walking towards them with his head down, with a young woman enthusiastically clinging to him, trying to hold his arm. However, a phone call suddenly came through, and after the woman answered it, she left.
Before Ji Fei could satisfy her curiosity about the gossip, Luo Zhou sat down, and Qi Li smiled and said, "Why are you two brothers both arranging marriages with the same family? Isn't that Xuan Yi's cousin?"
[An arranged marriage?!!! Luo Zhou and Xuan Yi's cousin?!]
