Shi Sheng and Mrs Nangong only came back downstairs together when the party was about to officially begin. Nangong Jing had long left, he was probably more concerned about his Su Yiyi.

Shi Sheng wasnt a big fan of dealing with social niceties but in this circle, this was quite unfortunately, a necessity.

Miss Xu is getting prettier every time I see her. Young Master Jing is truly fortunate, unlike those little rascals of ours who havent even shown any signs of wanting to settle down. A dignified looking lady said, her face full of envy as she looked at Mrs Nangong. Her words were immediately joined in by the sounds of agreement from the other ladies.

From this we can learn that getting them engaged to a good daughter-in-law early on is a must.

*sigh* That also depends on the person. Look at that one from the Lin family, werent they also engaged since they were young? And the result? Theyre arguing every day and disrupting the peace in their own household. Ey, Im not talking about Miss Xu. Miss Xu dont think too much of my words.

Bitch you tried to be snarky. You think just because you said it subtly no one could hear it?

Shi Sheng gave a perfunctory smile though her eyes were filled with impatience. Had she not already been in the car outside she wouldnt have bothered coming in.

Three women are already so bothersome, someone get me out of here before more join in.

Auntie, my dad has arrived so Ill just head over to fetch him. Seeing Xu Chengyues now her father, she immediately took this convenient excuse to escape.

These people had everything, money and power. Their only remaining past time was comparing how well they did with their peers. They would compare their fathers, their husbands, their children, it was as if being slightly superior made them more respectable.

Daddy. Shi Sheng walked over to her father and spoke in a warm voice.

You came here so early but why dont I see you with Ah Jing? Her father scanned her surroundings and upon noticing the distinct lack of Nangong Jings presence, couldnt help but grow doubts.

En, hes busy. Shi Shengs smile turned more honest. Why didnt mommy come?

There was a last-minute emergency at the company so she went there to resolve it. When did you learn to be so concerned about us? I was beginning to think the only one you cared about was your little fianc! He joked with a jovial face. It could be seen how much Xu Chengyue had been doted on by her father.

People grow up. Shi Sheng blinked.

Okay, okay, our little girl has finally grown up.

The soul has already been switched out, of course theres a difference!

One of Xu Chengyues wishes was to be filial to her parents so that was what Shi Sheng would do.

Her father took her to propose a toast to the star of todays party {Reminder: Mrs Nangong} before bringing her around to introduce her to people. Xu Chengyues father found his daughter to be exceptionally obedient today, causing him to feel pleased and think inwardly, She really has grown up.

Shi Sheng was filling a bit light-headed from the wine she drank so she excused herself and went to the garden to clear her head.

The Nangong familys garden was very big. Shi Sheng found a spot to sit down. Feeling the cooling night wind, her mind cleared quite a bit.

What were you doing with him just now? A voice containting a hint of rage startled Shi Sheng from her drowsiness.

Rubbing her face, Shi Sheng turned around and leaned on the back of the bench to see what was going on. There were a few trees there, under which two silhouettes could vaguely be seen.

Wasnt that voice Nangong Jings?

I I didnt

Id recognise that voice anywhere, its Su Yiyi! What are these two up to?

I saw it myself! Nangong Jing was clearly on the edge of bursting, Su Yiyi, Im working hard for our future but what do you do? You go and seduce other men?

Jing How could you say such things about me?

What, was I wrong? If I didnt show up, were you two planning on continuing?!

Shi Shengs eyes sparkled with light. What did Nangong Jing catch Su Yiyi and Ling Hao doing? Were they hugging or kissing? If hes this upset, Id wager they were kissing.

In the original plot, Xu Chengyue constantly bothered Nangong Jing, making him have no time to look for Su Yiyi.

And at this point in time, Xu Chengyue had already revealed Su Yiyi to Mrs Nangong. At the same time, Su Yiyi and Ling Hao had appeared together, leaving plenty of time for them to have done something.

Just as Shi Sheng was recalling the plotline, those two actually started kissing. What the hell happened? What did they say just now? I(bbb) didnt hear properly, can I request a replay?

The sounds of frantic kissing could be heard in the quiet garden. Shi Sheng rubbed her chin. These two arent planning to just start fucking here, are they?

Fortunately, Nangong Jing still had some semblance of reason left
