Chapter 1136 - The Boss Is Out (4)

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

It was actually a disguised large-scale blind date scene.

Ming Shu couldn’t really understand. The Host was very young and still had one more year studying in college. Why would Cui Yuhui be so anxious about her?

“Little Qi, do you see what other girls are doing? They’ve had many boyfriends. How can you not get yourself a boyfriend? I learned from online that if a girl stays single for too long, she won’t be willing to have a boyfriend…”

“Browse the friends’ moments less, they are all nonsense.”

“Kid, I’m not pushing you to get married. I just want you to have a boyfriend and go on dates. If a girl only loves one person and ties herself up to only one man for her whole life, that’ll be pathetic.”

Ming Shu looked at Cui Yuhui with horror.

My biological mother, does Qiao Cheng know of your bold ideas? 

“Just look at me, your biological mother. I was so young and naive in those years and got tricked by your father’s sweet words, see what happened to me.”

Apparently, Cui Yuhui was different from any other biological mothers.

“Yes, yes, you’re right. You make a lot of sense.” Ming Shu held a plate of peach dessert and responded to Cui Yuhui absentmindedly.

I can’t disobey my long-term meal ticket.

Cui Yuhui kept talking for almost half a day and finally realized the topic had been led astray by Ming Shu. She could only stop talking and pull Ming Shu toward the crowd.

As they walked along, all kinds of people kept greeting them happily.

Ming Shu buried herself in the dessert. They can’t see me, they can’t see me, they can’t see me…

“Ah!”

There was a sudden scream coming from the crowd. Ming Shu looked over and saw a girl sitting among the people on the floor while covering her body. It seemed her dress was off.

The surrounding onlookers pointed at her and discussed.

Ming Shu put the plate in Cui Yuhui’s hand. “Mom, take this for me, I’ll have them later.”

Cui Yuhui: “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to play hero.”

Cui Yuhui: “???”

Cui Yuhui watched her daughter walk a few steps away but come back and take the shawl with her, which she had hung in her own arm as an ornament.

Cui Yuhui: “…”

“Aiyoh, isn’t this Miss Ruan? Are you here to sell your wine? But what are you doing now, are you trying to seduce anyone?”

A woman standing diagonally opposite exclaimed with a sharp and mean tone.

Another woman beside her was surprised. “Sell wine?”

“Yes, you must not know, everyone, this Miss Ruan is a famous wine-seller. If you meet her in the future, you should take care of her business well.”

The two echoed each other and had drawn more and more people’s attention. They all looked at the girl disdainfully.

At this buffet party, most were rich or influential people. But a girl wine-seller appeared, so actually they had already made their own conclusions in their hearts about why she came here.

Ming Shu squeezed herself into the crowd and placed a shawl on the girl. She checked her dress which was torn at the lace and didn’t seem to be fixable.

“Hey, lady, don’t get yourself tricked by her. Be careful, she might bite you even if you helped her.”

Ming Shu looked up at the woman. “You should lose some weight.”

The woman looked at her own waist subconsciously. She was actually not fat and just gained some weight on her waist recently. But comparing herself to Ming Shu and Ruan Xiaolian, the woman’s face blackened immediately.

“Are you with her? How on earth have you sneaked in? Do you think this is a place you can get in? Just think about who you are!”

The girl shook her head. “I didn’t…”

“Sorry, but I may disappoint you.” Ming Shu smiled calmly. “I’m Qiao Qi.”

The space was quiet for a few seconds. The woman showed a confused expression on her face and was seemingly pondering who Qiao Qi was. Then she seemed to remember something and her expression became embarrassed little by little.

The surrounding people also began to discuss in low voices.

“Qiao Qi… Is she from the Qiao family?”

“We don’t see her often in the circle…”

“She is very beautiful.”

“Qiao Qi’s sister… She is the second Qiao… What a pity…”

Vague sound of discussions came from the crowd. Ming Shu grabbed Ruan Xiaolian by her dress and asked lightly, “Can you stand up like this?”

The girl bit her lip and nodded.

Ming Shu helped her up.

That woman looked at Ming Shu and didn’t dare say anything.

Ruan Xiaolian was only a wine-seller and could be offended casually, but Qiao Qi couldn’t.

But the woman was not convinced and remained unhappy. “Miss Qiao, don’t blame me for not reminding you, this woman is not an innocent lamb, you should beware of not leading a wolf into your house.”

Ming Shu raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman. “An innocent lamb must be flavorless.”

The woman: “…”

Is there such a saying?

Wait! I am not talking about this! 

Ming Shu led Ruan Xiaolian back toward Cui Yuhui. As she passed by the woman, she smiled slightly. “You’d better lose more weight if you have time to bother others. You are actually beautiful.”

The woman: “…” She wanted to slap her on the face.

The woman stamped heavily with hidden hatred.

The other woman who echoed her on the side patted her back pacifyingly and said, “She always gets lucky. Feng Heng is not here, but someone else just stood up for her.”

The woman’s eyes were filled with jealousy. “She is only a girl wine-seller, why should she deserve that! And that Qiao Qi, she said I’m fat!”

“How is that possible. Others would beg to have such a body shape like yours, Qiao Qi was just jealous,” her partner immediately said. “But… How could Qiao Qi know Ruan Xiaolian and even speak for her?”

The woman gritted her teeth. “Who knows what means Ruan Xiaolian used… Just wait!”

…

Cui Yuhui looked at the girl in front of her and frowned heavily. She tightened her grip on the plate.

Ming Shu came to the party late and it was Cui Yuhui who prepared the dress for her. She didn’t know which one Ming Shu would like, so she brought two dresses.

Ming Shu gave the other dress to Ruan Xiaolian and let her change into it.

When Ruan Xiaolian went to change clothes, Cui Yuhui pulled her own daughter to one side. “Little Qi, don’t take it too hard, this… You… Are you…”

Ming Shu took back her dessert from Cui Yuhui’s hands. “Motheri, what are you thinking?”

Cui Yuhui pointed in the direction of the restroom and showed an unreadable expression. “Are you…”

She suddenly grabbed Ming Shu’s arm. “Dear daughter, I know you don’t like when I push you to go on dates, but you can’t do this. You are the only hope of our Qiao family and we all depend on you. I might be cool about this if your sister were still with us, but…”

Ming Shu: “…”

What nonsense has Cui Yuhui imagined in her brain? 

“I don’t know her. I just gave her a hand.”

Cui Yuhui was still suspicious. “Really?”

“Of course.”

Cui Yuhui patted her chest. “Good, that’ll be good. If you like girls, I’m afraid your father will be angered and get hospitalized.”

Ming Shu: “…”

Was it so serious? 

Kacha—

The door of the dressing room opened and the girl came out. She clenched her hands nervously with her face flushed.

The pure white dress set off the girl’s jade-like fair skin crystal and clear.

The waist-tight design outlined the girl’s tiny waist, dotted with red patterns going up and down along the hemline.

Pure white was not eye-catching and there were many others had chosen this color. But the red patterns dotted on the dress hemline were a little striking.

If she went out wearing this, it would definitely make her the focus of the entire venue.

Ming Shu stuffed two more desserts into her mouth. Thankfully, she didn’t choose this one.

“Mom, are you trying to marry me to someone?”

Cui Yuhui glared at her. “It took me a long time to select this dress for you. I think it will suit you best. But it also looks good on this girl, very cute.”
