Chapter 289 - 289: Assumed Yin Xun Was A Mistress
Yin Xun tilted her head. “What else? I don’t make a hobby of snatching other people’s boyfriends. Besides, we have nothing to do with each other. We’re just neighbors. As for what happened in the past, I only said we’re a couple because he was asking for help. I don’t know the details. Since you’re so close, go ask him about it. I won’t get involved in your relationship.”
Qu Lu had not expected things to progress so smoothly. She had even prepared many ways to deal with Yin Xun, but now it seemed that she would not be able to use them.
“Can you guarantee that you will never be with Yao and get close to him again?” Qu Lu was still a little worried and wanted Yin Xun to make a vow.
However, Yin Xun was not in the mood. She rejected the idea. “l can’t. I can only tell you that we don’t have any sketchy relationship. If you like him, then go after him, by all means. I’ve already said that it doesn’t concern me. Whether he responds to your feelings or makes an excuse to reject you has nothing to do with me.”
Yin Xun’s expression was serious when she said this. She did not look like she was lying or joking at all.
Qu Lu opened her mouth. She wanted to say something, but when she saw Yin Xun’s expression, she swallowed her words.
“Then… then you can go to the banquet…” Qu Lu finally stopped pestering Yin
Xun. However, she was still worried and added, “If you really give up on him, I’ll let you go. If you continue to pester him, however, then I won’t go easy on you!”
Yin Xun did not even turn around to respond. She waved her hand casually. She did not care about such things.
To her, the greatest joy in life was to earn money. Whether it was a man or someone else, it did not matter.
After Yin Xun left, Qu Lu was still thinking about this matter. She lowered her head and muttered to herself, “Why did she agree so readily? It shouldn’t be.. ”
Yin Xun followed the same path the guests walked based on memory. After walking for a while, she finally arrived at the banquet hall. At this moment, the banquet had already begun. Melodious and elegant piano music sounded in the hall. In the middle of the room was the dance floor, where couple of old-looking men and women were dancing. There were people around watching them dance with smiles on their faces. The were applauding and praising them.
There were also people gathered in groups of twos and threes, all raising their glasses and chatting. They seemed to be having a good time.
Yin Xun looked around. Sure enough, she did not know any of these people. However, she had seen them on television and reports. They were all leading figures in various circles.
No one knew Yin Xun, so she was left alone. No one came to talk to her.
Everyone present had their own companions, but Yin Xun did not. However , she did not mind. This way, she could observe these people without worry. If they were future business partners, she could understand their preferences in advance.
Not long after, Qu Lu arrived as well. She no longer had the arrogant expression she had when she was in front ofYin Xun. Instead, she had a gentle and generous smile on her face. As soon as she arrived, many people crowded around her.
Qu Lu intentionally stood not far away from Yin Xun. When others were talking to her, her eyes were fixed on Yin Xun.
“Hey, Lulu, whose daughter is that girl? Why haven’t I seen her before? You’ve been looking at her a lot. Do you know her?” a girl with black and straight hair asked.
A short-haired girl also followed Qu Lu’s gaze and asked curiously, “Why is she alone there? Does she not know anyone?”
Hearing her friends’ questions, Qu Lu’s lips curled up slightly. Great, she had achieved his goal.
She looked at Yin Xun deeply and said helplessly, “I heard that she has always been very close to Yao. Perhaps she doesn’t like us, so she doesn’t greet us.”
‘What? She’s close to Young Master Fang?” The long black-haired woman was shocked. “She’s that mistress who interfered in your relationship with Young
Master Fang? What’s her identity? I don’t see her wearing any jewelry. Even the gown she’s wearing is a pre-made product. She lacks taste and is dressed so plainly. Don’t tell me she’s some peasant trying to climb up the social ladder?’
The short-haired girl chimed in, “Who in the circle doesn’t know that you and Young Master Fang have been engaged for ages? Both families have already arranged a marriage. Although the two of you not married yet, it’s already been set in stone. How could she try to snatch your man? My father lost his mind because of a vixen like that. He sired an illegitimate child and still wanted to snatch take away my inheritence. I hate mistresses like that above anything else!”
“To be fair, she has her own difficulties. She probably just likes Yao. Because of her identity and background, she probably doesn’t know the twists and turns in our families.. So…”
