Chapter 124 What medicine is sold in the gourd?
After resting at home for a few days, Ji Jingshen returned to the company, since his assistant had been calling him since yesterday.
The company's documents are already piling up.
The old house suddenly became empty.
Song Qianyi was lying on the sofa watching TV, having no time to do anything. Suddenly, a message popped up.
Clicking on it revealed it was Lin Qingyue.
【Chihiro, I'm hosting a tea party at home. Would you like to come?】
Upon seeing the invitation sent by the other party, Song Qianyi raised an eyebrow. He didn't believe that this woman would be so kind as to send him an invitation to a tea party; she probably had ulterior motives.
But since she's bored right now, she can go and see what she's up to.
After getting ready to leave, he suddenly remembered something and called Wenya from the doorway.
"Okay! You wait here, I'm coming right now."
After hearing Song Qianyi's explanation, Wenya got up without hesitation, put on her clothes, and hurriedly went out. She absolutely couldn't let her good friend be bullied.
"Qianyi, don't worry, I will definitely protect you and I will never let any demons or monsters get close to you."
After meeting, Wenya patted her chest and gave Song Qianyi a smile, assuring her on the spot.
When the two arrived at the Lin family home, the tea party had already begun, and Lin Qingyue was surrounded by a group of people chatting and laughing.
"Qianyi, you're finally here! You haven't replied to my messages for so long, I thought you weren't coming. Come in quickly, let me introduce you to these friends of mine."
Seeing Song Qianyi standing at the door, a hint of surprise flashed in Lin Qingyue's eyes. She quickly got up, smiled, and walked over to pull her in, not even sparing a glance at Wen Ya standing next to Song Qianyi.
However, Wenya didn't care at all and followed me inside, treating the place as her own home. She found a seat next to Song Qianyi and sat down.
The woman sitting quietly next to her was almost knocked off the sofa by her sudden movement.
"you!"
She stood up angrily, wanting to teach Wenya a lesson, but then she remembered that Wenya and Song Qianyi must have a close relationship, so she lowered her hand, her face cold, and found another seat to sit down.
"Qianyi, it was just a small, ordinary gathering. I didn't expect you to be dressed so formally."
When Lin Qingyue saw the necklace Song Qianyi was wearing, a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. She had seen this necklace before; it was a masterpiece by a certain master and was priceless.
"Qingqing, you don't know this. She is Madam Ji. When she goes out, she represents the face of the Ji family. She can't dress shabbily."
"How can you prove your worth if you don't present yourself in a glamorous and attractive way?"
"I don't know why Mr. Ji would fall for her. She spends money so extravagantly and doesn't know how to live at all."
Lin Qingyue's friends also noticed the jewelry she was wearing. Each piece was extremely expensive, something they wouldn't dare to buy easily, and they were instantly filled with envy. Their words were dripping with sourness.
Song Qianyi raised an eyebrow, taking all their words to heart as compliments.
“I can’t help it. These pieces of jewelry were a gift from my husband. When I said I didn’t want them, he got upset. I will definitely listen to everyone’s opinions. When I get home, I will tell him everything. We can’t keep spending money like this.”
The faces of the crowd turned grim, especially Lin Qingyue's fierce stare at her.
Ji Jingshen actually gave her such an expensive gift!
Wenya, who was initially worried that Song Qianyi would be outnumbered and bullied, burst out laughing when she heard her sister's words. Her sister's fighting power had never disappointed her.
"It's all because Mr. Ji spoils his wife. If it were someone else, they might not have done something like this. People earn money to spend on their wives. Otherwise, what's the point of keeping that money? For the New Year? You can't take this kind of money with you when you die, so there's no use keeping it."
Everyone present stared longingly at the jewelry on Song Qianyi's body. They wanted it too, but they couldn't afford it.
"I'm sorry, Qianyi, I misspoke just now. Please don't take it to heart."
She's dressed so formally for a tea party; anyone who didn't know better would think she was attending a grand banquet. She clearly doesn't understand social etiquette at all.
It's truly shameful and petty.
Song Qianyi waved her hand magnanimously to indicate that she didn't care. After all, everyone has jealousy, and she couldn't stop it, could she?
"Wasn't there supposed to be a tea party? We've been here for ages and no one has served us a cup of tea yet. Am I supposed to just watch you drink? I never expected Miss Lin's hospitality to be so peculiar."
Lin Qingyue's lips twitched for a moment, but she quickly clapped her hands and someone brought over two cups of tea and two servings of snacks.
"I was so happy to see you that I forgot about this for a moment. I apologize."
All you do is eat, eat, eat. How come you don't get fat?
Looking at the pastries on the table, Song Qianyi nodded in satisfaction. Just as she picked up a piece to taste it, Wenya stopped her from the side.
"Be careful, they might do something shady inside."
Wenya whispered in Song Qianyi's ear.
After all, one can never be too careful, especially since the two of them were on someone else's turf. If they were to be tricked without careful attention, they would be truly helpless.
Song Qianyi glanced at the pastries in her hand, smiled indifferently, and said loudly:
"Don't worry, I already messaged my husband before I came, and he will send someone to pick us up in a little while."
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Lin Qingyue, sitting beside her, glared at her with envy, but forced a smile and said gently:
"I hadn't heard anything about your marriage to Ji Jingshen while I was abroad. If I've done anything wrong these past few days, please don't hold it against me, Miss Song."
If Ji Jingshen truly values you, then he would definitely announce your marriage to the whole world, given his extraordinary status.
Even the most trivial thing can become a trending topic.
"Miss Lin, you're mistaken. You and Mr. Ji are not related and aren't even friends, so how could you have offended Qianyi? Could it be that you did something to wrong her? Or perhaps you're trying to interfere in her marriage?"
Lin Qingyue covered her mouth, looking at her in shock, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret.
People around her also turned their attention to her. Suddenly, everyone started gossiping.
Lin Qingyue's cheeks burned, and she stood up excitedly, quickly denying it.
“Miss, you’ve misunderstood me. Jing Shen and I are just ordinary friends. I’ve never thought about such a thing.”
