Chapter 1359 - 1373: Truly a Beauty
Seeing her willow-like slender waist, bright eyes, and white teeth, so charming and tender, one couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, truly a beauty indeed.
No wonder Lin Junyang has been unable to forget her all these years, no wonder he never looks at me. Compared to the woman in front of me, it’s simply worlds apart. She has no doubt that if Lin Junyang’s taste remains unchanged, it would indeed be difficult to accept someone like herself.
Lin Junyang instinctively straightened his back upon hearing that voice, yet did not turn around.
Sun Wangbei glanced at Xie Yuting and smiled, "Why didn’t Sister-in-Law go back with Brother Chen?"
There was a smile in his eyes, but anyone could see that the smile did not reach his eyes.
Lin Junyang was his brother, and it was this woman who once left his brother in a state between human and ghost. Now, for him to speak to her calmly was already giving her face.
Xie Yuting was slightly taken aback by Sun Wangbei’s question. She was Chen Sheng’s wife. Chen Sheng was more than half a year older than Chen Yankun, and Sun Wangbei called Chen Yankun Third Brother, so he should call her Sister-in-Law.
But she knew very well that since marrying Chen Sheng, she had distanced herself from their circle. Meetings were just acquaintances nodding at each other.
Sun Wangbei thought highly of himself and also looked down on Chen Sheng, who relied on his father’s influence. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have started his own business, founding Jiawen Entertainment.
Normally, he wouldn’t call Chen Sheng brother, much less call her sister-in-law.
Now, deliberately calling her sister-in-law reminded her of her current status, much like when she was with Lin Junyang and he jokingly called her sister-in-law.
Having this sister-in-law come out of his mouth only made Xie Yuting’s face burn.
Lin Junyang also felt uncomfortable; Sun Wangbei’s sister-in-law sounded particularly jarring to him.
Looking at Xie Yuting standing there, pale-faced, gently biting her lip corner.
"Chen Sheng had something to take care of and went back first. Knowing I don’t usually go out much, he told me today’s event was full of my old acquaintances, so I should stay and enjoy myself."
Xie Yuting softly explained but did not move forward.
Lin Junyang pointed towards Ding Liang, "Ding Liang, why are you taking up two spaces by yourself? Move over."
Ding Liang perceptively moved to the side, making space for one person and brought over a chair.
Xie Yuting thanked him and sat down.
Sun Wangbei snorted, realizing in such a setting it wasn’t proper to say much more, his gaze inadvertently shifted to Xiao Xiao for a glance, witnessing her chatting with Chen Yuanyuan beside her, as he continued discussing the game rules.
He tapped the table with his hand, signaling for quiet.
"Alright, everyone’s almost here. Originally, this game was supposed to be for singles, but since everyone’s here, let’s just continue.
Xiao Xiao was somewhat puzzled by Sun Wangbei’s attitude. She had heard from An Ran before how Miss Xie got along with his brothers, and what feelings she had for Lin Junyang.
But today, Sun Wangbei’s words had thorns, and each thorn was specifically aimed at Xie Yuting.
It was the first time she saw Sun Wangbei like this.
Her eyes involuntarily scanned Xie Yuting again, noticing she wasn’t embarrassed by Sun Wangbei’s words. She thought, indeed, art is derived from life. Although she had never lived the life of a socialite debutante, she had read plenty of those wealthy family novels. Which woman from a wealthy family doesn’t have a strong heart?
