Chapter 1258: The gossiping ladies

Jin Ling'er called out politely: "Mr. Du."

Du Zheng looked at her, with a hint of surprise flashing through his usually serious eyes. The last time I met this girl, she was thrown out of the set, looking like a homeless little beggar. Now she has put on beautiful makeup and a small dress with light pink buds, and she looks very graceful. Standing in the early autumn afternoon sunshine, with bright eyes and good eyesight, it is like a different person.

He has seen a lot of beauties, but to be fair, Jin Linger is not particularly beautiful.

But maybe it was because the contrast between the two meetings was so strong that it was really impressive.

He nodded slightly to Jin Ling'er: "Welcome."

Xia Yingluo said briskly next to her: "Before coming here, Ling'er was worried about not being welcomed. I'd say her worries were completely unnecessary. Brother Du Zheng, thank you for helping her on the set last time and also for helping her." Please let me know and continue to help us in the future.”

Du Zheng said: "I should take care of you."

He paused and glanced at Jin Ling'er, "You are Yingluo's friend, so I should take care of you."

Jin Ling'er was a little frustrated. Was she being treated differently just because she was Xia Yingluo's friend? Although she knew in her heart that if it weren't for her relationship with Yingluo, a high-ranking man like Du Zheng wouldn't notice her at all, but being treated as someone else's accessory, even if it was her good sister, was not without grudges. . "What happened last time was an accident. Thank you Mr. Du," she said. "In the future, I don't need Mr. Du's extra care. I will get roles based on my own abilities."

Xia Yingluo was keenly aware of the displeasure in her words and turned to look at her.

Du Zheng didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he just said calmly: "You are ambitious."

Jin Ling'er became even more depressed.

Xia Yingluo smiled brightly and changed the subject: "Brother Du Zheng, where are my parents?"

Du Zheng cooperated with her and changed the topic: "Uncle and aunt are accompanied by my second uncle, and they are talking about ikebana with Mr. Yamaguchi Masaku."

Mr. Yamaguchi Masaki is a master of flower arrangement. He has a good relationship with Li Lei and Xia Ling, and Xia Yingluo also likes him very much. Hearing this, Xia Yingluo narrowed her eyes with a smile: "Grandpa Yamaguchi is here too? Come on, Ling'er, let's go find him."

Du Zheng said: "I will take you there."

"What's the point of being brought in?" Xia Yingluo refused, "Go and do your business. Don't tell anyone about my coming. I'll sneak over with Ling'er and eavesdrop on what they're talking about." He raised his head and smiled at Jin Ling'er, "Grandpa Yamaguchi's lecture on ikebana was so wonderful that you can't hear it easily. He is also handsome, even more handsome than my dad."

Jin Ling'er said: "I've seen your dad in the newspaper. He's so handsome."

Xia Yingluo smiled like a flower: "Grandpa is more handsome."

Du Zheng on the side heard this and sympathized with Li Lei. How did he raise such a picky daughter? Mr. Yamaguchi is indeed handsome, but his main attribute is his temperament. Years of ikebana and Zen practice have made the old man full of ethereal and mysterious feeling. Even if Li Lei is the real one, his facial features and figure are so handsome, okay?

Forget it, since the little girl wants to take her friends to take a peek at the handsome grandpa, he can't control it.

Du Zheng turned a blind eye, it was nothing serious, he just told them not to go too far. Over there, the fine afternoon sunlight shines on the lawn.

Beside the champagne tower, several ladies were chatting with drinks in their hands.

One of them turned back inadvertently and suddenly said in surprise: "Look over there, who are the two girls talking to Du Zheng? The one in the off-shoulder fairy skirt is so beautiful, and the bag she is carrying is also beautiful. It looks great and goes well together.”

Several other ladies turned their heads to look.

One of them, Du Jingjing, said: "It's really good-looking, but I've never seen either of them. Do you know them?"

Another socialite named Jin Ying said: "Isn't the bag in her hand a limited edition released by Master Eric last week? Jinxiu, it's the one you wanted to buy but couldn't. It's really strange, it's so hard to buy. She actually has a bag.”

Among the several ladies, one who was wearing a silk dress and holding a goblet reservedly in her hand was Gu Jinxiu. Hearing this, she frowned imperceptibly. She had already seen Xia Yingluo, but she didn't know why Xia Yingluo appeared at this banquet? And the bag in Xia Yingluo's hand was even more dazzling. It was indeed the one she had specially ordered her men to buy last week, but was told that it had been sold out.

Hearing Jin Ying poke her sore foot, she smiled dignifiedly: "It's indeed the bag I wanted, but I didn't expect it to be given to her. Forget it, she's different from us, let's give this to her Just give it to her, I don’t want it anymore.”

Hearing her vaguely reserved tone, everyone couldn't help but wonder: "Who is she?"

Gu Jinxiu said: "He is not a glorious person, so I'd better not say anything about him."

The ladies became even more curious and pestered her to tell her story.

Gu Jinxiu seemed to be entangled by them and said, "Her name is Xia Yingluo. She is a poor student in the emperor's training camp. She performed on stage at Pei Yan's engagement party last time. I heard that she and Pei Yan "Yian's fiancé Zhao Yixuan..." Halfway through the words, he stopped talking and shook his head, "It's all in the past. Thank God there is no problem with the relationship between Yian Yian and Zhao Yixuan."

How smart are all the ladies? As soon as I heard it, I could tell there was something in her words.

Du Jingjing rolled her eyes: "You mean, this Xia Yingluo is having an affair with Pei Yan's fiancé?"

Gu Jinxiu was ambiguous: "There was a scene at the engagement banquet. At that time, Yanyan wanted to drive people away, but this Xia Yingluo was very clever, and she didn't know how to make the emperor's Pei Dong favor her and protect her. Yanyan almost cried in anger."

"I heard about it too," Jin Ying suddenly realized, "So she is the mistress who made a big fuss at Pei Yan's engagement party?" Of course, their socialites are naturally on the side of the ladies. I heard that an unknown mistress tried to Hooking up with men who belong to wealthy families is instinctively disgusted.

Gu Jinxiu said: "That's her. After the engagement party, Zhao Yixuan didn't want her anymore. She turned around and somehow got involved with Li Rui. Yianyan bumped into them in the bar a few days ago - Li Rui took her and the girl with blond hair, hugging each other. "

One sentence, an understatement, completely blackened Xia Yingluo.

The disgust in the eyes of all the ladies was even deeper. No wonder a little-known poor student could attend such a high-end prestigious banquet and buy bags that even Gu Jinxiu couldn't buy. Wasn't he just seducing one man after another? It's really disgusting to work with that blond girl and serve a dandy like Li Rui together!
