Chapter 154 It's better to have one more friend than one more enemy
"Sorry, I'll go with you to clean up." Yu Qingcheng frowned, glancing at him unhappily, her gaze burning like fire. Did this idiot even know what he was doing?
Yu Shaohua secretly pinched Yu Shuqing's wrist, shook his head, indicating that she didn't need to say anything more, and mouthed two words, "Apologize."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chi," Yu Shuqing said reluctantly, her voice so soft she was afraid of being overheard.
"You're not apologizing to me, and your voice was much louder just now."
"I'm sorry, Miss Jiang." Yu Shuqing sighed deeply, her eyes darting around, clearly unwilling to accept what was happening.
"I'll go clean up." Jiang Yi ignored her, not even glancing at her.
“I’ll stay with you,” Chi Ruiche said.
"Jiang Yi, what do you mean? I've already apologized to you, and you haven't even acknowledged it?" Yu Shuqing was dissatisfied with being ignored by them. Ignoring Yu Shaohua's hand that was holding hers, she shook it off and tried to step forward to argue.
"Come back. What good did it do you to deliberately cause trouble today?" Yu Shaohua said, glaring at Yu Shuqing with a mixture of anger and embarrassment.
Jiang Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly. Although she and Yu Shuqing had some past grievances, it wasn't a big deal. It was just a conflict between girls. What was Yu Shuqing up to today, deliberately picking a fight and provoking her?
Jiang Yi took a glass of red wine from Lü Haotian and splashed it on Yu Shuqing's face, catching her off guard and getting her face covered in it.
Red water droplets clung to Yu Shuqing's long eyelashes, dripping down her chin. "Jiang Yi, what are you doing?"
Yu Shuqing's voice grew louder, but fortunately the music in the venue blocked it out somewhat. People at the next table kept peeking, and the infighting among the rich heiresses was quite a spectacle.
"Look, what a lively scene today!" The woman at the next table lowered her head and then grinned wildly, her schadenfreude obvious.
"This Miss Yu is notoriously domineering and arrogant, always causing trouble because of her good looks."
"She's really messed with someone today." Some people dislike Yu Shuqing's character and are just waiting for her to suffer.
Jiang Yi scoffed dismissively, as if mocking Yu Shuqing. She affectionately wrapped her arm around Chi Ruiche's, saying, "I also brought a dress in the car."
"I've notified Uncle Wang that it's been delivered." Chi Ruiche took out his phone and made a call.
Jiang Yi beckoned, and Chi Ruiche lowered his head slightly. Jiang Yi naturally whispered a few words in his ear, and she felt her ear tips turn red, spreading to her cheeks.
“Okay.” Chi Ruiche’s tone was always unintentionally gentle when he spoke to Jiang Yi.
Those watching the spectacle were completely distraught. Chi Ruiche was known for his cold-heartedness and ruthlessness. Although he was handsome and had an eye-catching status, he was still frightening.
"This Miss Jiang is quite capable; she can even handle a business tycoon like President Chi properly."
"You obviously don't know, Miss Jiang and President Chi grew up together, so their relationship is naturally special." Some people looked on with envy, as if they were watching a sweet romance.
At the banquet, after they temporarily left their seats, their voices mingled together.
"Miss Jiang, I'll accompany you." Yu Qingcheng followed Jiang Yi to the lounge. The room had a modern and minimalist design, and was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities. The carefully selected materials and craftsmanship reflected luxury.
"Thank you, I'll wait by myself," Jiang Yibiao said with a standard smile.
Yu Qingcheng didn't mind her polite refusal. Lifting her skirt, she said, "Miss Jiang, you don't need to be wary of me. You don't need to take what those people outside are saying to heart. If I have any feelings for Chi Ruiche, it's only the idea of marrying into his family."
Jiang Yi looked at Yu Qingcheng quietly, as if she couldn't quite believe what she was hearing.
“So, none of this is possible.” Yu Qingcheng addressed her doubts directly. “If you trust me, I can tell you that I don’t know what Shu Qing is planning, but she has problems. If you run into her, please be careful.”
Jiang Yi was deep in thought. "Why are you telling me this?" Although both Jiang Yi and Yu Qingcheng came from prominent families, the relationship between the Yu and Jiang families was lukewarm, and they had little contact. She had no reason to believe that someone she had only met a few times would tell her this, especially since this person was her cousin.
Yu Qingcheng explained in detail, "It's better to have more friends than more enemies."
