Chu Xinxia's stomach had already swelled up. From afar, her small belly was especially obvious. Looking at the clothes that were sent over, she couldn't help but sigh.
He really didn't know if Jiang Hengyuan was deliberately messing with him. Not only did he not pick one that could help her cover her stomach, he even gave one that could show her waist.
Although the clothes were very suitable, one could see their stomach just by looking at it.
Chu Xinxia was a bit irritated, so she couldn't help but sigh.
He wanted to call Jiang Hengyuan and ask him what he wanted, but felt that it wasn't so good, so he could only hold it in.
There should be a lot of things to prepare for a ball. It would be too disloyal of her to throw a tantrum at him right now.
Forget it, he had no intention of hiding his pregnancy anyway. If he could see through it, what else could he do?
For the next week, no one knew what everyone was busy with. Neither Jiang Hengyuan nor Chen Dongdong came over, and even Lu Xunqian didn't send anything over. However, Chu Xin Xia's life was quite fulfilling, so for the moment she didn't have much of a reaction.
Soon it was time for the ball. Chu Xin put on a light makeup, a dress and shoes sent by the Jiang family, and said goodbye to her mother before she left. As soon as he stepped out of the door, a black Bentley drove over.
"Is it Miss Xia Chu?" An old man in a black tailcoat with a head of white hair alighted from the car. Seeing Chu Xinxia, he placed one hand on his chest and bowed.
He was so shocked that his eyes widened. Just as he was about to go over to help him up, he saw that he had stood up and was looking at him with a burning gaze.
"Yes, I'm Chu Xinxia."
"I'm the steward of the Jiang family. I came to pick up the young lady, please." Opening the car door, the old man lowered his head and introduced her to Chu Xin Xia.
Chu Xinxia sat on it in shock, not knowing what had happened. It was only after the car drove away that he remembered. Could this have been prepared by Jiang Hengyuan?
For some reason, she felt worried.
Soon, it was the location of the ball. The Jiang family reserved the most luxurious hotel in the city. At the door stood a group of bodyguards dressed in black, the red carpet stretching all the way to the road. A welcoming party wearing a small formal attire stood at the door as they greeted the incoming guests with a smile.
Chu Xinxia was shocked.
Standing at the door for a moment, he saw the person who entered was either rich or noble. There were also some high ranking officials in the department, as well as the CEO and supervisors of some large enterprises.
Why did he have to invite him?
Chu Xinxia was a little doubtful, but she was more worried.
After standing at the door for so long, quite a few people looked in her direction, causing her to have a rare awkward expression.
"Are you Miss Chu?" A woman in a luxurious gown walked out from the inside. When she saw Chu Xinxia, her face froze for a moment, "Why aren't you going in yet?"
Chu Xinxia looked at him doubtfully, "You are …"
"I'm Heng Yuan's sister, my name is Jing Qianqian." Jing Qianqian walked up and took her arm, "Come with me."
When Chu Xinxia heard that it was a relative of Jiang Hengyuan's, she relaxed a bit, "Did Jiang Hengyuan ask you to come pick me up?"
Jing Qianqian smiled mysteriously, "You could say that."
Chu Xinxia followed him in, attracting everyone's attention as soon as she entered the door.
Some of the doubts and some ridiculing looked towards their own stomachs.
Chu Xinxia's face turned ugly, and she suddenly felt like she had changed her mind.
Jiang Hengyuan wouldn't have brought himself to such a state. He would have been surrounded and watched like a gorilla in a zoo.
Chu Xinxia bit her lips and hesitated, not knowing whether to go in or not.
"Miss Chu, let's go." Jing Qianqian held onto Chu Xinxia's hand. She seemed to be on good terms with her, but Chu Xinxia could feel her malice.
It was as if she couldn't wait to drag herself in and bring it to those people who were looking at her with contempt.
"I don't think I'll go in." Chu Xinxia smiled weakly, "I think it's better if I leave." He got rid of Jing Qianqian's hand and was about to walk back, but he didn't expect to see a man standing in front of him as if he was about to enter.
He looked very similar to Jiang Hengyuan, and Chu Xinxia couldn't help but wonder if Jiang Hengyuan would look like this in the future.
He frowned as he looked at himself. His gaze unconsciously landed on his lower abdomen. His frown deepened.
Chu Xinxia clenched her fists and was about to walk out, but Jing Qianqian stopped her after a few steps.
"Miss Chu, don't go. Let me introduce you, this is Hengyuan's father, Uncle Jiang, this is Chuxin, Miss Xia Chu, Hengyuan's father... "Friend."
Chu Xinxia felt that the word "friend" seemed to mean something else, which made those who heard it feel harsh.
"I'm leaving. I'm really not feeling well today. I shouldn't have come over." Chu Xinxia lowered her head, as if she had made a mistake. This kind of attitude made Jiang Zhiwen feel even more disgusted, so he frowned even more, "Since Miss Chu is not feeling well, Qian Qian, please send her away." The way she said this was as if Chu Xinxia was some kind of loathsome trash who would not hold back.
Although Chu Xinxia felt embarrassed, she could not help but let out a sigh of relief and was about to walk out.
Jing Qianqian held onto Chu Xinxia's hand and was about to lead her out when a well-maintained woman walked up, "Qianqian, is this Miss Chu?"
"Yes, Aunt Mei." Jing Qianqian immediately let go of Chu Xinxia's hand and took the woman's arm, "Look, the dress you gave me fits well!"
Chu Xin Xia was instantly thunderstruck, the person who invited her was not Jiang Hengyuan?!
"Mhm, she really does look good. No wonder Hengyuan took an extra look." Aunt Mei looked at Chuxin Xia with a frown, especially at her small belly. Her eyes were full of disdain. However, the expression on his face was still very amiable as he looked at Jiang Zhiwen, "Zhiwen, how can you chase Miss Chu away? This is a customer of Hengyuan, don't embarrass your son. "
Jiang Zhiwen frowned and nodded. However, he still looked at Chu Xinxia with disdain and walked inside.
When the people who were originally spectating noticed that Jiang Zhiwen had entered, they no longer looked at Chu Xinxia and instead went to his side to rope him in.
Chu Xinxia's heart felt like it was overturned, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Looking at the attitudes of Lady Jiang and Jing Qianqian as if they wanted to do something to her, she suddenly felt like she was a fool. She actually, unexpectedly came to this place …
Jing Qianqian let out a sigh of relief and put her arm around Chu Xinxia's shoulders, "Aunt Mei, I'll take Miss Chu over there to rest. You must have some fun."
Lady Jiang looked at Jing Qianqian with a smile, "Qianqian is considerate." "Alright, you should bring Miss Chu over. Don't make her feel awkward."
Jing Qianqian agreed with a smile. She didn't care what Chu Xinxia wanted to do, she just led her people to the balcony.
Chu Xinxia was like a puppet being toyed with. She felt indescribably uncomfortable in her heart. While scolding himself for being stupid, he was also being careful of what Jing Qianqian wanted to do.
"Alright, you don't have to be nervous." When they reached the balcony, Jing Qianqian let go of Chu Xinxia, as if she didn't care about her. She sat on the bench next to the balcony, "I suggest you let go of her and marry into the Jiang family."
Chu Xinxia could not help but let out a sigh of relief. So that was what they thought.
"This child is from Hengyuan?" Jing Qianqian frowned as she looked at Chu Xinxia's belly, "You really don't know how to behave!"
"Miss Jing, I think you've misunderstood." Chu Xin Xia went to the other side of the bench and sat down, holding her stomach. "This child is mine, it has nothing to do with any man. "In addition, I've never thought of marrying into the Jiang family, and I don't like Jiang Hengyuan even more."
"What?" Jing Qianqian looked at Chu Xinxia in disbelief, "How is this possible?!"
He sounded like Chu Xinxia was crazy.
"To the likes of you, the outstanding and attractive Jiang Hengyuan is nothing more than an ordinary man. "No, maybe he's not as attractive as an ordinary man." Chu Xinxia smiled, "I'm not interested in Jiang Hengyuan."
"Madman!" After looking for a long time, she didn't know what to say. Jing Qianqian could only say this one word.
