Su Hongxing looked at her. So it was Qiao Qiao, her best friend. She smiled. “If you can be here, why can’t I?”

Qiao Qiao punched Su Hongxing’s chest. “Wretched girl, who is this person beside you?”

“Ye Qilan, my date for tonight.” Su Hongxing did not dare to tell the truth.

If Qiao Qiao found out that Ye Qilan was her legal husband, she would probably be torn apart by Qiao Qiao.

“Are you Hongxing’s friend?” Ye Qilan asked politely.

“My surname is Qiao and my name is Qiao Qiao. Everyone likes to call me Xiao Qiao. Mr. Ye, nice to meet you.”

As Qiao Qiao spoke, she lightly kicked Su Hongxing and said in a low voice, “Come with me. I have something to tell you.”

Seeing Qiao Qiao’s strange expression, Su Hongxing was about to go to the side with Qiao Qiao to ask her what was going on.

Unexpectedly, another familiar woman’s voice sounded from ahead. “Hongxing, is it really you?!”

The owner of the voice was Zhou Luhe.

Zhou Luhe was wearing a green floor-length evening gown.

The green color complemented her smooth skin, making her look breathtakingly beautiful. The man beside her was wearing a black tuxedo. He had an imposing appearance and was very handsome. Who else could it be but Xiao Ji?

The moment she saw Xiao Ji, Su Hongxing’s heart tightened.

Qiao Qiao pulled a long face and whispered into her ear, “I wanted to tell you that Xiao Ji was a little late to accompany Zhou Luhe to the banquet.”

She knew that Xiao Ji was the person Su Hongxing cared about the most. The news of Xiao Ji and Zhou Luhe’s wedding soon spread throughout the upper-class circle of Tai City.

She did not dare to tell Su Hongxing about this matter. She only wanted to drag it out for as long as possible. Who knew that she would be able to meet her in the capital like this? It was impossible to guard against that.

Su Hongxing’s eyes gradually turned cold as she watched Zhou Luhe walk towards her with Xiao Ji in her arms.

Zhou Luhe sized Su Hongxing up and shook her head. “I knew you didn’t like to take care of yourself in the past, but don’t you find it embarrassing to dress like this on such an occasion?”

Initially, everyone was waiting to see the woman Ye Qilan brought with her. Who knew that Ye Qilan’s woman would be ridiculed by other women just as the competition started? Wasn’t this equivalent to slapping Ye Qilan’s face?

Many busybodies tacitly quietened down, eager to see what would happen next.

Ye Qilan walked to Su Hongxing’s side and put his long arm around her waist. “Hongxing, how can you even associate with any Tom, Dick, or Harry?”

His voice was neither loud nor soft, and everyone nearby could hear him clearly.

Then, Ye Qilan looked at Xiao Ji. “Sir, you should take care of the dog beside you. Bringing her out like this and allowing her to bark around will affect the honor of the city.”

Xiao Ji didn’t seem to hear her. His gaze was glued to Su Hongxing’s face.

Ever since she appeared at the banquet, he thought he was seeing things. Moreover, she appeared with Ye Qilan.

Previously, he had heard people talking about Ye Qilan wherever he went. He heard that Ye Qilan was a playboy. This time, he had a unique taste and had a strange new lover. He even heard that Ye Qilan would bring his new lover along tonight.

At that time, how would he have known that the woman accompanying Ye Qilan to the banquet was Su Hongxing?

Zhou Luhe’s expression turned ugly after being ridiculed by Ye Qilan. However, she had to be wary of Ye Qilan’s identity. She dared to be angry, but she did not dare to say anything.

In addition, ever since Su Hongxing appeared at the banquet, Xiao Ji’s gaze never left Su Hongxing’s face, which made her even more embarrassed.

Ye Qilan also noticed this detail. He asked Xiao Ji, “Is my woman pretty?”
