Chapter 69 I am a vicious stepmother 13
Such a sarcastic remark sent shivers down Liu's spine. As if only then realizing what he had done, his face contorted with rage.
Liu Chen couldn't help but curse, "Dad, can you stop embarrassing yourself?"
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Liu's father, seeing this as a way out, used it as an excuse to accuse Liu Chen of being unfilial.
Xie Jingzhou watched coldly, not wanting to pay any more attention to the father and son, and quickly ran to Qingyu's side.
In just a short while, Qingyu was surrounded by many ladies and young women.
He was afraid that if he arrived late, there wouldn't be any seats left for him!
"You're actually Mrs. Lu? With your qualifications, what are you doing looking for that scumbag Lu Linyan?" The one who spoke was the most arrogant and bold among the ladies.
Her name is Zhao Yuexing, and she is the leader of the group of sisters. To be honest, before seeing Qingyu, Zhao Yuexing thought she was just a gold digger. Now that she has seen the real person, Zhao Yuexing looks down on Lu Linyan even more.
“He has a sweetheart of his own, yet he still mistreats you like this…” Zhao Yuexing rambled on and on, but as soon as she finished the last sentence, Lu Linyan stood silently in front of them.
Qingyu watched with a smile, without offering any advice. When she saw Zhao Yuexing suddenly stop talking, her beautiful face turning as red as an apple, looking like she wanted to say something but dared not, Qingyu burst into laughter.
The beauty's smile stirred even more excitement among those watching. Even Zhao Yuexing, who had initially felt awkward, gained a sense of self-righteousness. After giving Lu Linyan a sly glare, she boldly spoke up: "Why isn't Lu Linyan keeping your sweetheart company? He looks so lonely there."
Following Zhao Yuexing's gaze, Bai Tao was sitting alone in the corner.
When she and Lu Linyan arrived, they didn't receive the attention they expected, which left Bai Tao feeling both disappointed and sentimental.
Yes, Qingyu is here. No matter how special I am, I can't compare to that person.
Unfortunately, she couldn't control the overall situation, nor could she go to Qingyu's side; they were now on opposite sides.
"It's none of your business." Lu Linyan managed to utter these words, his eyes fixed on Qingyu, but he couldn't say anything else.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuexing became even bolder, even taking a step closer and standing right next to Qingyu.
The woman was as beautiful as jade, and the natural fragrance and soft body she exuded made Zhao Yuexing swallow hard, her heart pounding wildly.
She straightened her expression and earnestly advised, "Cousin, why don't you go and keep your peach company?"
Speaking of which, she was Lu Linyan's mother's cousin, a relative by blood, but she had never seen Qingyu's face. She used to feel sorry for her cousin because their marriages were not a good match.
Nowadays—
She still felt sorry, but it was a pity that Qingyu, a beautiful flower, was stuck in cow dung, which was a real waste of her excellent temperament and appearance.
The people around couldn't help but smile slightly. Qingyu didn't refute either. She was happy to see the male lead being targeted. In that moment, it felt like she was the female lead. This feeling wasn't bad.
Thinking this, Qingyu's smile never faded, and her charming smile once again captivated a group of people.
Just then, Liu Xiaoyu, having learned the news, gracefully arrived.
She wore her best dress today, thinking that even if she couldn't compete with Bai Tao, she would at least outshine Qing Yu.
However, when she arrived at the lobby, she realized that something was wrong.
Why is everyone looking in the same direction?
Then I thought about it again, the special nature of white peaches... and I couldn't help but feel a little jealous; the allure of white peaches was too great—
Huh? Wait a minute?! Why is Bai Tao sitting in the corner?!
Where is Lu Linyan?
Liu Xiaoyu looked around in a panic, then subconsciously glanced again in the direction of the group of people gathered together.
A sudden wave of panic washed over her. Pushing aside the crowd, she saw Lu Linyan's back, but—
Why has my favorability rating dropped so much? It's not even half anymore!
And why did Xie Jingzhou's favorability rating also drop to zero?!
What happened?! Her happiness is gone!
Liu Xiaoyu screamed inwardly, letting out a shriek like a groundhog, her face contorted into a demonic expression. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, she really wouldn't have been able to hold back!
Finally, she shouted loudly, "Lu Linyan! What are you doing? How dare you abandon Tao Tao!"
As soon as the sound rang out, Lu Linyan turned around, revealing the beauty hidden behind him—
She sat in the crowd, her beautiful face seemingly bathed in light, captivating all who beheld her. Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, seemed to hold the beauty of the starry sky, and her natural elegance inspired a natural fondness in everyone.
She seemed to be born to be the center of attention; at least in Liu Xiaoyu's eyes at this moment, Qingyu was the center of attention.
"You you you you..." Liu Xiaoyu pointed at Qingyu, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.
Bai Tao ran over, worried that Qingyu would be made difficult by Liu Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu..."
"You're Qingyu?!" Liu Xiaoyu exclaimed suddenly, her eyes sparkling as she stared at Qingyu. She then took a few steps to Qingyu's side. "Qingyu~ I'm Xiaoyu~ Speaking of which, we both have 'yu' in our names~"
Qingyu: “…”
Wasn't the female supporting character's attitude changed too quickly?
Qingyu pursed her red lips, hesitating to speak.
Is it inappropriate to make sarcastic remarks in this setting? Shouldn't she maintain her image?
To everyone else, it looked like Qingyu was frightened by Liu Xiaoyu. So Xie Jingzhou was the first to stand up and push Liu Xiaoyu away, and Lu Linyan finally stopped acting recklessly and pulled her away.
Liu Xiaoyu shouted in frustration, but was pulled back by Liu Chen who came over.
The three men all had dark faces, as if Liu Xiaoyu were some kind of sinner.
In fact, in their eyes, Liu Xiaoyu was a bad person. After all, she often made no attempt to hide her disgust for Qingyu in front of them, which was truly frightening.
With things finally a bit quieter around her, Qingyu's expression relaxed, and she began to chat idly with the people around her.
She hadn't forgotten the scheming in the plot, so she kept glancing at the waiters in the lobby, trying to figure out who had been bribed...
However, the waiters walked by quickly, and the guests also quickly took their drinks. No one drugged them in front of the guests, and everything seemed normal.
"System, keep an eye on things for me, scan the lobby." Qingyu's eyes were almost blurry from looking at it so much, her face was nonchalant, but her eyes were already red, she really couldn't hold on any longer.
The system scoffed dismissively, proudly puffing out its non-existent chest. "Watch this!"
Then I turned on the screen and started monitoring the entire banquet, including the private rooms upstairs.
I looked at everything very carefully.
Seeing this, Qingyu became even more languid. She leaned back on the sofa, holding a glass of juice in her hand, sipping her red lips and occasionally taking a sip, while observing the people in the hall.
However, while she was looking at others, everyone else was looking at her.
After leaving, Xie Jingzhou quickly returned. He dared not get too close and watched from a distance. Seeing Qingyu's eyes moist and slightly red, with a dreamy and intoxicating look, his desire deepened.
Most of the people around reacted in the same way, staring intently at the focus of the scene.
This annoyed Xie Jingzhou immensely.
After today, Qingyu's beauty will probably be impossible to hide.
