Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 253 Guiding Her Ex-Husband to Find a Second Spring

Wen Yan first sought Jiang Xing's opinion, explaining that Lou Qi might have been invited or something, and that if she didn't want to go to the banquet, she didn't have to force herself.

“Go.” Jiang Xing said without hesitation. “I can’t keep hiding from him.”

Wen Yan prepared a dress and a stylist for Jiang Xing, and the two set off together.

Tonight's dinner is a large affair.

Wen Yan and Jiang Xing didn't want to attract attention, so they both chose light-colored dresses. However, Wen Yan's appearance was outstanding, and as soon as she got out of the car, several ladies saw her and immediately surrounded her, chatting enthusiastically as if they were old friends with her.

It wasn't until Luo Beiqing arrived that Wen Yan finally found a legitimate reason to get rid of these people.

Luo Beiqing was 28 weeks pregnant, and her baby bump was clearly protruding. However, she still had slender limbs and a graceful figure. Her delicate face was a little fuller than before, making her look a bit more voluptuous, but she was still the most outstanding beauty present.

"Where is He Tingchuan?" Wen Yan asked, protecting Luo Beiqing.

"His mother called him back."

"He told you to come by yourself?" Wen Yan reacted strongly, practically writing "this scumbag" on her face.

Luo Beiqing said with a helpless smile, "We're divorced now, so he has no obligation to be with me all the time."

Wen Yan naturally understood this principle, but she was just being hypocritical.

...Even though she saw He Tingchuan bringing Luo Beiqing here, she still wanted to complain that this man didn't know how to cherish her before and now he's coming back to eat his own sow's egg!

"Miss Luo, what are you doing here? Are you here representing the Luo family? The Luo family has really fallen on hard times, actually sending you to an event with such a big belly. It seems we really have no one left."

Suddenly, a woman's voice interrupted Wen Yan and Luo Beiqing's conversation.

Wen Yan looked over and saw a woman with long, straight hair. She was pretty, but compared to Luo Beiqing, who also had striking features, she paled in comparison.

The man looked familiar, but before Wen Yan could remember who he was, she heard Luo Beiqing say, "This auction house you're standing on right now is my private property. Is it illegal for me to bring my unborn son here to familiarize myself with this territory?"

Luo Beiqing recently had a 4D ultrasound and unexpectedly saw her son's penis, confirming the sex of the baby.

Upon hearing that it was Luo Beiqing's private property, the long-haired woman's face was filled with disbelief. She instinctively wanted to refute it, but seeing the calm reactions of those around her, she swallowed her words and instead looked at them with resentment and jealousy.

I'd heard that Luo Beiqing had a lot of private assets, but I never imagined he even owned an auction house!

After the woman with long, straight hair left, Wen Yan asked Luo Beiqing, "Who was that just now?"

Luo Beiqing told the truth: "I don't know, I've never seen it."

Wen Yan gave a thumbs-up to the soon-to-be hot mom next to her.

When Luo Beiqing and He Tingchuan divorced, some people made sarcastic remarks about her, but today no one dared to provoke her, and some even tipped her off.

“Miss Luo, that was Gu Qingqing. I heard she’s a distant relative of the He family and they wanted to introduce her to Young Master He.”

Wen Yan's words were like a sudden enlightenment.

No wonder he looked familiar; he looks just like Gu Yueyue! Gu Yueyue even mentioned before that her sister was in contact with He Tingchuan!

The surrounding guests were all paying attention to Luo Beiqing, wanting to see her reaction and gossip, but not wanting to be too blatant.

"Oh." Luo Beiqing chuckled, utterly confused. "That has nothing to do with me, does it? Does Chinese law not stipulate that an ex-wife should care about and guide her ex-husband in finding a second love?"

The surrounding guests: "..." That's some serious malice!

"Pfft!" Wen Yan burst out laughing, her laughter perfectly timed with Luo Beiqing's. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether she was mocking the He family or those present who had wanted to see a good show but failed.

He's just a man, yet these people are eyeing him like he's a hot commodity. Luo Beiqing doesn't care at all!

Suddenly, Gu Qingqing, who had left, turned back.

She looked Jiang Xing up and down, who had been standing silently next to Wen Yan, and asked, "And who is this?"

Jiang Xing was incredibly clever. It was obvious that Gu Qingqing, Wen Yan, and Luo Beiqing didn't get along. When Gu Qingqing asked her about it, she simply ignored her and showed her no respect whatsoever.

Wen Yan and Luo Beiqing remained silent.

Gu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed, but continued on her own, "This Miss Jiang looks familiar to me. She looks a bit like the one who was with Young Master Lou a while ago. I don't know if I'm mistaken."

So that's what they came for!

Jiang Xing glanced at Wen Yan, who happened to be looking at her with eyes full of gentle "Senior, please do as you please" attitude.

“Miss Gu, you look quite familiar to me.” Jiang Xing’s smile was impeccable and perfectly polite. “You look a lot like the guy who was with Young Master Lou a while ago. I don’t know if I’m seeing things.”

Jiang Xing returned the message verbatim using Gu Qingqing's sentence structure, even taking the opportunity to emphasize that the other party was his ex-girlfriend!

She's his ex-girlfriend, what are you still doing?

"What nonsense are you spouting! I am my sister Gu Yueyue. I have only been in contact with Young Master He recently! Stop slandering me!" Gu Qingqing was afraid that others would think that she was involved with Lou Qi.

Jiang Xing looked completely innocent: "You and your sister look alike, why are you angry? Getting involved with Young Master Lou is slander, isn't it? Does Young Master Lou know about this?"

"You!" Gu Qingqing's chest heaved with anger, and her red dress made her fury even more apparent.

The surrounding guests couldn't help but exchange glances.

Look, sure enough, a troublemaker's friends are all troublemakers. Wen Yan and Luo Beiqing weren't enough before, and now there's Jiang Xing too. They're all sharp-tongued and deadly!

"Heh!" Gu Qingqing suddenly laughed.

The smile was abrupt, and the incredibly perceptive ladies immediately sensed the gossip, unconsciously falling silent and looking at Gu Qingqing.

"Miss Jiang—"

Gu Qingqing actually knew Jiang Xing's name. How could she not understand a woman who stole her sister's man?

"I heard from your ex-boyfriend that your parents passed away just two months ago. Their bodies are barely cold, and you dumped your ex-boyfriend and immediately moved on to Lou Shao, without showing any grief. I wonder if your mother will die with regrets? Oh no, your mother did die with regrets. Wasn't she driven to jump off a building by you?"
