It was originally a normal tea party. It was unknown who suggested that they stay for a meal.
This kind of activity was something that she rarely attended before, but she knew that there would definitely be a lot more of them in the future so she could only get used to it in advance.
During the banquet, Zhao Motong didn't even give her a glance, and continued to chat with Zhou Hui. During the meal, he even pulled Zhou Hui over to his side and sat down, which made Gao Yiqing seem a little awkward. After all, she was her daughter-in-law.
"Come sit by my side and continue talking about that inspiration."
It was obvious that Mrs Ma was liking Gao Yiqing more and was unwilling to pay attention to it. Only Mrs Ma extended a helping hand, since someone gave her a way out, Gao Yiqing would definitely not refuse. She smiled and sat over.
Although Zhao Motong seemed to not care about it, her eyes had never left it before. Especially when she saw how nice Mrs Ma was to her, she could only give a glance and ignore her.
"Is Little Huey busy with the jewelry business lately? Aren't you doing an advertisement? " Someone suddenly asked. This was also due to the fact that Gao Yiqing was curious about it, so they couldn't help but prick up their ears.
"It was an advertisement, but this time, he was entrusted by a friend to complete the project."
"Which friend of yours has such a great reputation? "I remember that very few girls like you are willing to personally help."
"It's Ning Zhe. I was a little surprised when he came to find me, as you all know that no matter what Ning Zhe you do, you will always be very outstanding. I never thought that there would come a day where he would personally ask for my help."
When she said that, Zhou Hui intentionally looked towards her Gao Yiqing, as though she was looking forward to the change in her expression. However, she was disappointed, because her Gao Yiqing had not changed at all.
This made Zhou Hui a little disappointed. After all, he was still looking forward to see her sad appearance.
"So it's him. The two of you have been on good terms since you were young. Since he's busy with his work, you should help him more. That way, I won't worry too much."
She was waiting for this moment where she could say in front of everyone that Zhao Motong and Ning Zhe had a good relationship, so as to not pay attention to the idea of Gao Yiqing at all. Generally speaking, when her daughter-in-law was still pulling other women along, saying that they had a good relationship with their son wasn't right at all.
"Aunt, don't worry. He's already come looking for me. How could I not help? I'll definitely help him finish this project seriously."
This action of hers left Gao Yiqing somewhat speechless. This was specially done for her to see, because Zhao Motong was something she could tolerate in the first place, but the crux of it was that these two people were singing together and purely wanted to embarrass her, which made Gao Yiqing unable to endure. She smiled and said: "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Zhou to help my husband.
But in the end, she was still just a friend, so she could only accept that he was Ning Zhe's wife to thank her. As such, she had no choice but to accept it.
"There's no need to thank him. There's no need to thank him."
In the past, Zhou Hui gave people a feeling of tranquility, gentleness, and magnanimity, but this time, she suddenly contended with Gao Yiqing and wasn't willing to compromise at all. It was obvious that she cared a lot about Ning Zhe.
However, for her to say such words in front of so many people, she felt that it was wrong. However, Zhou Hui was not something she could tolerate, so on what grounds was Gao Yiqing to be so arrogant and show off? And what right did she have to snatch the person she liked?
"Then it seems you have a deep relationship with each other."
This was clearly purposely said for Zhou Hui to listen. If Zhou Hui still didn't know what to do at this time, it would truly become a joke, and if she was so sure of her relationship with Ning Zhe in front of everyone, then it would definitely be related to her if any cracks were to appear between Gao Yiqing and Gao Yiqing in the future.
As smart as she was, she naturally understood the pros and cons of this matter, and could only suppress the rage in her heart with a shallow smile, "I hope Miss Gao does not misunderstand. We just have a good relationship, after all, we grew up together."
"Childhood friends?"
She replied with her words, causing the Zhou Hui to be stupefied. She had already given him a way down the stairs, why was his Gao Yiqing climbing up the stairs, could it be that she was already so intolerant of the sand? That's too much.
No matter whether or not Zhao Motong liked other people's family's harmony, in the end, it was still their family's business. If she were to interfere, no matter how one looked at it, it would seem that she was in the wrong.
It was really hard to stop halfway. It seemed that he was very unsatisfied with her helping Ning Zhe, otherwise, he wouldn't have clenched his teeth and wouldn't have let go. Right now, he could only retreat and advance.
Therefore, Zhou Hui could only pretend to be sensible, not wanting to argue with Gao Yiqing. "If it's because I helped him to cause a misunderstanding between you, then I can tell him to look for someone else."
"Lil 'Hua, what are you saying? You helping him means that he needs you. There's no need to care so much about petty people."
Gao Yiqing felt that her mother-in-law was indeed alright, to actually say that she was petty, and felt that her husband had a good relationship with other women. She could pretend that nothing had happened.
"But if I let Yi Qing misunderstand, wouldn't I have done a good deed?" She even started to feel wronged, and Gao Yiqing sneered in her heart. What kind of white lotus is this, it feels like it wants to push all the problems onto her shoulders.
However, she wasn't a person who would go easy on others. She just smiled sweetly and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any misunderstandings between us. After all, he has many friends and has told me about them before. So, I sincerely thank you."
Her meaning behind her words was, you don't have to say anything special about yourself, and it's no different from those friends from Ning Zhe. Furthermore, I've already reported everything to Ning Zhe, there's no need to add anything.
She simply could not refute at all. Could it be that she still wanted to say that her relationship with Ning Zhe was better than others? He felt that her expression was not right, and scolded Gao Yiqing: "What's wrong with you, you're just going to have a good meal, what's there to say about this?"
Did he have the upper hand? The Gao Yiqing was a little speechless, but it was clear that the Zhao Motong was standing on the side of the Zhou Hui, they didn't even try to conceal anything, and since they didn't care what else she had to say, they might as well ignore it.
The so-called dinner party was not too happy and everyone left unhappily. Originally, Gao Yiqing was specifically used to pick up Zhao Motong, but who knew that Zhao Motong would be angry and not let them pick him up and leave with Zhou Hui. Zhou Hui even pretended to advise a few times, but it was completely useless.
