t’s my wedding gift.”

Immediately, Qiao Yiyi took the pendant with both hands, in a respectful manner.
She nodded.

With that, she headed towards the lounge.

On her way there, however, she heard a few snide remarks.

“Oh, look at that timid girl.
She’s quite ugly, isn’t she?!”

“She doesn’t have a good figure either.
I don’t get it.
Why did Lu Nanze even pick her?”

“Exactly.
And also did you see it? Just now when Mr.
Lu was trying to flirt with Ms.
Qiao, she didn’t even react.
Do you think she’s not quite in her right mind?”

“What do you know? Everybody knows that she only managed to marry Lu Nanze because her name is Qiao Yiyi.
Otherwise how could she have possibly gotten a man like Mr.
Lu? So what can I say, really?”

With a word here and there, those people completely ignored her presence.
And even when she turned to look at them, they continued their conversation without caring.

Qiao Yiyi’s eyes flashed for a moment as she listened to them.
Without saying anything, she continued to walk ahead.

At this point, a waiter who was carrying a tray with glasses of red wine on it walked past her.

She suddenly stretched her leg out to make the waitress trip.

At once, the tray shook and the glasses of wine flew away, landing directly on the group of gossipy women.

In that moment, cries of alarm came from their direction.

The red wine had rained on them, so there were now ugly red patches on their gowns.

However, Qiao Yiyi had a petite frame so she was able to nimbly squeeze her way out.

The women berated the waiter.
“What on earth is wrong with you?”

The waiter immediately apologized.
“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.
I felt someone trip me.”

But when he turned around, there was no one there.

Ignoring the commotion behind her, she almost skipped her way to the lounge.

At the door, she twitched her mouth as a reflex and knocked on the door.

“Come in.” Given the permission to enter now, Qiao Yiyi pushed open the room door and walked in.
As she did so, she saw Qiao Lian and Xia Nuannuan laughing, apparently over something they were talking about.
