Chapter 339: Feng Xinyao Makes a Fool of Herself
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Murong Qiao’s sarcastic words hit Feng Xinyao’s sore spot.
“I just wanted to tell you that Jiang Weiyang only has some interest in Huo Yichen. Young Miss Murong, you’re thinking too much.” Feng Xinyao forced a smile.
She didn’t expect Murong Qiao to be unaffected by her words at all. Instead, she retorted so fiercely.
Murong Qiao looked up at her, her gaze piercing, as if she could see through Feng Xinyao’s thoughts.
She was relaxed. “Alright, 1 understand.”
Her words were casual, as if it was something unimportant.
It was completely different from what Feng Xinyao had imagined.
She didn’t really want to help in the first place. What she wanted to see was naturally Murong Qiao fighting Jiang Weiyang. At that time, she would sit back and reap the benefits.
Unfortunately, Murong Qiao did not cooperate with her at all.
“Know what? That Jiang Weiyang is going to snatch your boyfriend away?” Feng Xinyao asked deliberately.
She observed Murong Qiao’s expression, wanting to find a flaw on her face.
Feng Xinyao only felt that Murong Qiao was deliberately forcing herself in front of her, and the smile on her face widened.
Seeing Murong Qiao being unhappy would make her very happy.
At this moment, the banquet was only halfway through and it was just evening. The sky outside was dark, making the scene in the house look even more beautiful and luxurious. Under the bright lights, the Young Masters and Young Misuses were having fun.
Meanwhile, Jiang Weiyang was looking for Huo Yichen.
Before she came to look for Huo Yichen, she had specially changed into a beautiful dress. Her smile made many people’s hearts flutter. She was sweet, cute, and moving.
Huo Yichen was sitting in a corner of the banquet. His cold face had dissuaded countless heiresses.
However, Jiang Weiyang mustered her courage and walked over to talk to him.
“I just found out that you study finance.” She smiled. “I’ve recently bought some shares in the stock market, and I want to study it too. It just so happens—”
There was no trace of anger on Jiang Weiyang’s face at all, as if nothing had happened.
“That’s not good,” Huo Yichen interrupted.
He looked at Jiang Weiyang, his eyes unable to contain a trace of emotion. “If Young Miss Jiang wants to seek advice, you should naturally look for a professional.”
He directly rejected Jiang Weiyang’s words, not caring about the other party’s face at all.
Huo Yichen thought that his attitude earlier was obvious enough, but Jiang Weiyang’s actions made him realize that some people couldn’t be gotten rid of just by showing rejection.
“I think Young Master Huo is better than those so-called professionals.” Jiang Weiyang praised him instead.
It was as if she couldn’t understand the meaning behind Huo Yichen’s words. She even walked to his side and praised him.
Jiang Weiyang’s face was slightly red. “I’m interested in finance, but unfortunately, my talent doesn’t seem to be enough.”
“I even lost a lot previously…” Her face turned red, as if she was too embarrassed to mention her dark history.
However, she still had the intention to show off in her heart, so Jiang Weiyang told her about her experience in the stock market and even attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
“Young Miss Jiang is too humble. If 1 remember correctly, you definitely earned a profit a few days ago from the shares you bought,” someone beside her said.
“That’s right. If Young Miss Jiang’s talent is considered bad, won’t the rest of us lose everything with our talent?”
“How dare you compare yourself to her with your lousy results?”
“Not to mention being a genius, she’s also beautiful…”
A few people in the crowd saw the opportunity and lavishly praised her.
To them, flattery was just a compulsory lesson. These kinds of words were sufficient to make anyone burst with joy.
They were all of the same age. When everyone said this, Jiang Weiyang simply sparkled.
“In that case, Young Miss Jiang doesn’t need to ask me for advice.” Huo Yichen rejected her previous words.
He had finally found a quiet place, but now, it was disrupted by Jiang Weiyang’s arrival.
He frowned slightly and placed the wine glass in his hand on the table beside him with an unhappy expression, planning to leave.
It had been a while since Murong Qiao went to the washroom. Huo Yichen’s intuition told him that something had happened to the other party. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken so long.
However, Jiang Weiyang was unwilling to let him go. “Young Master Huo?”
She deliberately turned around and stood in front of Huo Yichen, forcing him to stop.
“Are you dissatisfied with the wine?” Jiang Weiyang thought that he was unhappy because of the wine.
Huo Yichen looked at her. “There’s no problem with the wine.”
“I just hate being disturbed,” he said directly. “Also, you just said that you incurred losses in stocks. Losing money is naturally a common thing.
But in my opinion, only people who are arrogant and think that they can play with benefits will face excessive losses.” He was not polite at all.
Jiang Weiyang was stunned. Huo Yichen’s words only made her face burn, and the smugness that had just risen in her heart was suppressed again.
This was not the first time she felt that Huo Yichen was so unromantic. He suppressed the courage she had finally mustered.
Jiang Weiyang recalled how gentle Huo Yichen was to Murong Qiao.
“Young Master Huo, aren’t your words a little too harsh? Who can say for sure about the stock market?”
“Young Miss Jiang is still young after all. Who wouldn’t lose some money when playing with stocks…”
The surrounding people wanted to resolve the situation and not embarrass Jiang Weiyang.
But Huo Yichen had already walked far away, leaving behind a group of people comforting Jiang Weiyang.
Murong Qiao had not come to look for him for a long time. Huo Yichen was worried and shuttled through the crowd to look for her.
Relying on his height, he passed through the middle of the banquet and saw Murong Qiao at a glance. However, as soon as he walked over, he heard another woman’s voice.
“It’s not impossible for him to fall in love with someone else. Young ATiss Jiang is so beautiful, so it’s normal for Huo Yichen to be tempted.” Feng Xinyao stood opposite Murong Qiao.
She only felt that Murong Qiao was pretending to be indifferent, so she kept talking to provoke her, wanting to break her annoying calm shell, but she didn’t realize that the person she was talking about was standing behind her.
“A change of heart?” Huo Yichen asked.
His sudden voice shocked Feng Xinyao. Even the smug expression on her face froze. She wanted to laugh but it was twisted. It was as if the color palette had been knocked over and turned into chaos. She looked ridiculous.
She hurriedly explained, “No… 1 mean…”
Feng Xinyao had thought of countless possibilities, but she didn’t expect Huo Yichen to appear here.
Where was Jiang Weiyang? Didn’t she say that she wanted to please Huo Yichen?
She cursed Jiang Weiyang in her heart, and a smile that was uglier than crying appeared on her face, trying to salvage her image.
“I just wanted to help Young Miss Murong. It was all a misunderstanding just now…” Feng Xinyao’s expression was ugly.
However, when she met Huo Yichen’s gaze, which seemed to be able to see through everything, Feng Xinyao’s voice faded.
Murong Qiao didn’t say much and only thought that Feng Xinyao was a clown.
However, when he saw her dumbfounded expression, she couldn’t help but laugh, as if she was mocking her ugly appearance.
Her most unbearable and ugly appearance was all exposed to Huo Yichen.
This was probably the most uncomfortable part for Feng Xinyao.
Huo Yichen’s arrival made the people around him glance over. Clearly, he had attracted attention.
“Unbridled evaluation of other people’s feelings. If that counts as help, it’s ridiculous.” He was merciless. “1 didn’t expect this banquet to allow someone like you in.”
To Huo Yichen, etiquette was to respect those with quality, and this clearly did not include Feng Xinyao.
Murong Qiao couldn’t be bothered to talk to Feng Xinyao, but that didn’t mean that Huo Yichen wouldn’t put her down.
Feng Xinyao’s face turned green and purple. “I’m sorry…”
She tried to say something, but when she looked up and wanted to open her mouth, she saw that Huo Yichen had already walked away with Murong Qiao..
