BXBX NOVEL Chapter 55 - 55: Too Biased!
“Are you avoiding responsibility even as we hold hands?” Bo Yi’s touch on her hand was gentle as he spoke, “It might be too late now.”
Although Fang Yuan contemplated pulling her hand away, Bo Yi’s grasp was resolute. “Stay still.”
His voice carried a seductive allure as he whispered into her ear, “I’m afraid 1 might hurt you.”
These words seemed to carry a different implication to Fang Yuan’s ears.
Jin’an Garden.
Cheng Yuqi stole occasional glances at her watch. The clock had already struck 8 in the evening; why hadn’t the rural simpleton returned home yet? Was it possible that she had embarrassed herself at Grandpa Bo’s earlier and was now too embarrassed to face her return? If that were the case, things were about to become much more interesting! She eagerly anticipated witnessing the country bumpkin’s humiliation.
Several young women were gathered around Cheng Yuqi.
“Yuqi, why do you keep checking the time? Are you waiting for a WeChat message from your fiance, Bo Yi?”
“I heard your fiance acquired several luxury goods companies the day before yesterday. If 1 can’t snag a limited edition in the future, 1 expect you to help me out!”
“Yuqi, your life is so enviable. Not only does your family pamper you endlessly, but you also have such an exceptional fiance…”
Cheng Yuqi wore a faint, unconvincing smile. “Alright, you’ve all had your fair share to drink. It’s best if you head home now.” If they lingered any longer, her secret would be exposed once the rural girl returned!
“We came all this way to hang out with you. And now you want to kick us out, Yuqi?”
“Yeah, we’re not leaving. We’re eager to hear how you charm your fiance over the phone!”
“Such wickedness!” Cheng Yuqi playfully feigned annoyance as she swatted her best friend’s arm. “Alright, since you’ve all stayed the night, go on and leave me in peace!”
Just as her closest friends were on the verge of departing, an array of luxurious cars caught their attention, lined up outside the villa. A dozen staff members gracefully disembarked, adorning a display rack with an assortment of stunning apparel and bags. Their choreography was precise as they then proceeded to transport the items into the villa.
“Goodness gracious, am 1 seeing things due to the drinks?”
“Look at all those clothes and bags. Yuqi, is it your birthday today? Did your parents gift you all of this?”
“There’s such an abundance. It must be in the hundreds, if not thousands!”
With plans of leaving momentarily abandoned, her best friends quickly encircled the display rack, appraising the clothes and bags on offer.
“My word! These are all new arrivals! FY’s latest collection!”
“They’re incredibly stylish! I’m in love with them… Wow, why are there so many…”
Cheng Yuqi herself was perplexed by the turn of events. She pondered, Could it be that Dad and Mom felt guilty about showering Fang Yuan with countless clothes yesterday and decided to make it up by having FY design something special for me?
Her spirits were lifted considerably by the sight of the exquisite garments and bags and the approving remarks from her friends. It seemed that her parents weren’t biased after all. Their affection for her remained strong. It appeared that her standing wasn’t overshadowed by Fang Yuan’s.
In charge of FY, David Qian, directed proceedings on the sidelines, immediately recognizable to the young women. “Isn’t that FY’s manager, David Qian, President Qian? He’s here in person to deliver the merchandise! How impressive!”
“Good evening, ladies and ladies.” While David Qian wasn’t acquainted with these individuals, their attire hinted that they too were established patrons of FY.
“What’s the story behind these clothes?” Inquired one of the young women.
“Oh, these pieces were specially curated for the Sixth Miss.” Qian Dawei’s words felt like a stinging rebuke to Cheng Yuqi. Her fleeting ecstasy seemed to plummet into a pit of despair. Sixth Miss? It was that rural interloper once more! Didn’t her parents already buy her an entire array just yesterday? Why would they make another extravagant purchase today? The partiality was beyond measure!
Unbeknownst to her best friends, they playfully taunted, “Sixth Miss? Yuqi, is that designation for you?” Cheng Yuqi, with five elder brothers, occupied the sixth position in the family’s sibling order.
Cheng Yuqi found herself deeply embarrassed. Her close companions were unaware, yet within the Cheng Family circle, it was common knowledge that Sixth Miss referred to Fang Yuan, not her!
“Shh, keep it down. It’s quite late already.” Gently guiding her friends aside, Cheng Yuqi whispered, “Alright, it’s getting late. You should head back home.”
“I was curious about why you kept checking the time today, Yuqi. So, your parents had a surprise in store for you!”
“Yuqi, you’re way too modest. If 1 were in your shoes, I’d instantly flaunt it on my WeChat Moments. Any worries about us finding out would be absurd! Fearful of shattering our delicate hearts, perhaps?”
“Okay, let’s leave. Let Yuqi relish in her gifts. Sigh, I’m seriously envious!”
Though Cheng Yuqi couldn’t fathom the rationale behind her parents’ large order for Fang Yuan, that rustic outsider, at this moment, her primary concern was ushering her best friend away.
Just as her companions readied to depart, an exceptional luxury car pulled up abruptly in front of the villa.
One of her friends recognized it immediately. “Yuqi, isn’t that your fiance’s car?” The license plate clearly bore Bo Yi’s signature.
Cheng Yuqi cast her gaze in that direction, verifying it was indeed Bo Yi’s vehicle.. Why had Bo Yi come?
