Chapter 144 Wen Shimo forced Qiao Ran to apologize in public
Several women turned around and saw Pan Sihan standing behind them, wearing a burgundy cheongsam embroidered with several thin bamboo branches, exquisite makeup, and dressed elegantly and coolly.
Pan Sihan is the granddaughter of Mr. Jiang's cousin, and has a three-generation blood relationship with the Jiang family.
These ladies are all corporate daughters. Although they dare to mock and talk about high-ranking officials and daughters behind their backs, they would never dare to talk nonsense in front of high-ranking officials and daughters.
I am afraid that if I say something rude, it will bring disaster to the family business.
"Miss Pan, we are not talking about Miss Yu, we are talking about Qiao Ran. That woman Qiao Ran is so mean. Less than two months after Shen Mubai died, she seduced a new man again. It's really mean. ." Celebrity No. 1 said.
"Look at Qiao Ran smiling so seductively, and every man who talks to her is ogling them. What is that if not mean?" said socialite No. 3.
"That's right, Qiao Ran is actually wearing the same color cheongsam as Miss Pan. Isn't this going against you?" Socialite No. 2 said.
"Qiao Ran, a person who just killed her husband, is not qualified to attend Mr. Jiang's birthday party. In order to prevent the evil spirit in Qiao Ran from attacking Mr. Jiang, I think Miss Pan should kick Qiao Ran out!" Celebrity No. 4 explain.
"..."
Several women chattered bad things about Qiao Ran and put the blame on Qiao Ran.
Pan Sihan looked at Qiao Ran, who was standing next to Gu Sinian in the distance, wearing a cheongsam of the same color as her, with a hint of evil in his eyes.
It’s not scary to wear matching clothes, whoever is ugly will be embarrassed!
Today's Qiao Ran is stunningly beautiful, overwhelming everyone.
Pan Sihan felt inferior at first glance and felt suppressed by Qiao Ran.
Damn Qiao Ran, it wasn't enough for her to make a fool of herself in public online and force Wan Qing to death, he also wanted to steal her spotlight at her uncle's birthday party.
Damn it.
Because Chiang Kai-shek was a general in the old days, and cheongsam was a new thing in that era, so most of the female guests today, especially those from the mother generation, wore cheongsam to show their respect for Chiang Kai-shek.
Although Qiao Ran and Pan Sihan's cheongsams have the same base color, they have different embroidered patterns, different buckles, and different styles.
Qiao Ran's cheongsam was slit almost to the top of her thighs, while Pan Sihan followed the reserved route of an official lady, with the slit only reaching the knees.
Cheongsams of completely different styles cannot be said to be matching clothes at all.
But Pan Sihan hates Qiao Ran!
It is enough to have a little reason to hate someone.
Qiao Ran, who was having a lively chat with several political ladies, had no idea that he was already being noticed.
"Miss Qiao, this cheongsam of yours is so beautiful. You are so young, and you can wear a simple style so beautifully." Lady 1 smiled appreciatively.
"Yes, it's good to be young. You don't need too many cosmetics. Your face is as tender and beautiful as a shelled egg. It's really enviable." Lady 2 said enviously.
"In all these years, we have never seen Mr. Gu doting on any young lady. Miss Qiao is so lucky to be so cherished by Mr. Gu." Lady 3 said with a smile.
"..."
In fact, they, the official wives, are extremely disdainful to a stubborn woman like Qiao Ran who, after being in the limelight, then used her second marriage to kill Shen Mubai, causing the Shen family to be ruined overnight.
If they see it on weekdays, they must take a detour.
But who is Gu Sinian?
It was the home of a century-old official in the imperial city.
Even if Gu Sinian didn't join politics, he would still be someone they couldn't please.
If they finally have a chance, can they not seize it?
If Gu Sinian is made happy and just says a few words in front of his grandfather, father, brothers and sisters, wouldn't a promotion be just around the corner?
"I have received the award from you ladies. The dresses you wore with flowers blooming, dragons and phoenixes auspicious, and ink mountains and rivers cheongsams have carved the dignity, elegance, and grace in your bones, adding a bit of gentleness and beauty.
It would be great if I could be as confident, calm, elegant and pleasant when I reach the age of these ladies. Mr. Gu and I have a normal superior-subordinate relationship.
Mr. Jiang just happened to invite me to come over for his birthday party, so I came with him. The ladies must not say that he cherishes me, lest a lady from some family falls in love with Mr. Gu and misses a good relationship because of concern about me. Then...
What a pity."
Qiao Ranluo's generous words filled the faces of several senior officials and wives in front of them with happy smiles.
Qiao Ran took the initiative to avoid rumors that she and Gu Sinian were not a couple, so there was hope for their daughter.
If we build a good relationship with Qiao Ran, maybe we can get Qiao Ran to lead a red line!
Qiao Ran and several officials' wives exchanged official compliments and turned around.
As soon as I took a step, I felt a sharp tingling pain in my knee. I couldn't control my body and staggered forward a few steps, and bumped into Zhang Qianqian who was walking around the corner.
Just as Qiao Ran was about to stand up straight, he felt his wrist being pulled hard, and his body quickly fell backwards.
Seeing that he was about to fall, Qiao Ran quickly used his strength to balance his body.
But at this moment, I felt as if my heart was being chewed by something, and the pain was unspeakable.
Qiao Ran couldn't move due to heart pain, so he could only hit the red wine glass rack behind him that was stacked more than one meter high and made into the number 100.
Amidst the crisp sound of "crackling...", Qiao Ran was surrounded by the mess of red wine and broken glass scattered on the ground.
The burning pain from the broken glass on his back made Qiao Ran frown slightly.
Seeing Qiao Ran fall down in the wine glass in embarrassment, Wen Shimo's pupils shrank sharply, and just as his body was about to move forward, a black figure quickly rushed over and pulled up Qiao Ran who was lying in the broken glass.
"Ranran, what's wrong with you?" Gu Sinian said as he took off his suit jacket and put it on Qiao Ran, covering her clothes that were soaked by red wine and cut.
Qiao Ran glanced at Wen Shimo with cold eyes, tightened his suit, lowered his head and whispered softly: "I accidentally twisted my foot just now and bumped into Miss Yu. When I got up, I couldn't stand still and knocked over the wine glass.
"
It was Wen Shimo who deliberately made her look embarrassed in public.
Because the pain in her knees was the same as the feeling of someone sneaking up on her calf on the roadside on the day she and Wen Shimo divorced.
"Is this really true?" Gu Sinian glanced at Wen Shimo suspiciously.
Could it be such a coincidence that he twisted his feet in front of Wen Shimo?
"Who are you looking at? It was Qiao Ran who hit me first and poured red wine all over me. I pushed her away out of instinct. Is there anything wrong?"
When Qiao Ran bumped into Yu Xiaohuan, Yu Xiaohuan did reach out and push her.
At the same time, Wen Shimo also pushed her hard in secret.
Wen Shimo's movements were as fast as lightning, and no one saw him take action.
On the contrary, many people saw her bumping into Yu Xiaohuan and drinking all over him.
Her explanation only caused people who already had a bad reputation to be questioned by those who were either rich or noble at the banquet.
"It's true that I twisted my foot and accidentally bumped into Miss Yu." Qiao Ran said warmly.
"Since Miss Qiao admitted that she hit someone, should she apologize to my female companion?" Wen Shimo looked at Qiao Ran with cold eyes, and the corner of his eye fell on Qiao Ran's hand hidden in his suit.
Because there were bright red blood stains dripping down the wine-red cheongsam, blending into the wine stains on the ground, making it difficult to tell whether it was wine or blood.
Although she no longer loves the man in front of her, Qiao Ran still feels pain in her heart because he deliberately made her look embarrassed in public and forced her to apologize to his girlfriend.
"What? Miss Qiao, who killed Shen Mubai on their wedding night and then turned around and caught the big fish of the Gu family, is so arrogant and rude that she has done something wrong and refuses to apologize?" Wen Shimo looked at Qiao Ran with an aggressive look.
Forced to apologize in public by a man who had been in his heart for ten years, Qiao Ran smiled brightly at Wen Shimo.
