CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 374: HE ACTUALLY FELT THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED TO FANG NIANZHI

"Of course it’s true, didn’t you see I didn’t even post about him when I got married? The wedding was the simplest affair, how could he dare to utter a single complaint!"

Fang Nianzhi slammed her hand on the table to bolster her presence, unable to afford losing face amidst this group of competitive ladies.

She was almost certain that if she lost face here today, her story would instantly spread far and wide within her familiar circles.

"Pfft, maybe he dares not complain, but maybe you didn’t want a wedding for another reason... like the man you were matched with is old and ugly, so you were too embarrassed to introduce him to everyone?"

"Bullshit! He’s good-looking and very young, you know about the Sang Family’s fourth young master, right?"

Fang Nianzhi truly admitted defeat when it came to Sang Siyang’s good looks.

It was as though the paper men she had chased after in the past had become real and stood by her side; at least Sang Siyang fulfilled all her fantasies of a lover.

"Do you have a picture? Let us take a look, there aren’t many pictures of Sang Siyang online."

"Yeah, if he’s handsome, you wouldn’t mind us looking, right? The online photos are all too official and blurry, it’s hard to see anything clearly."

Several sisters gazed at Fang Nianzhi with anticipation.

With so many eyes on her, Fang Nianzhi felt like she was being pushed into a corner, yet she didn’t have any candid photos of Sang Siyang on her phone.

She was so anxious that she couldn’t think of an excuse to defend herself.

"What’s this? You don’t even have his photo, are you even really married? Sang Siyang’s account is quite active, and if you were truly husband and wife, why hasn’t he posted anything about you?"

"Fang Nianzhi, if your husband is ugly, you can just tell us. No need to make up such an excuse to fool us."

"Exactly, quite vain, aren’t you?"

The sisters outwardly showed their disappointment, but inside, they were rejoicing. No matter how better off Fang Nianzhi’s family was, she ended up matched with an old man.

On the contrary, they weren’t being pressured into arranged marriages, and some of them even married well. This made them feel relieved.

Previously overshadowed by Fang Nianzhi’s prominence, they finally felt they could hold their heads high.

"I’ve already said I don’t like Sang Siyang that much, so of course I wouldn’t keep his photos in my phone. Is today’s gathering about us or Sang Siyang? Why do you always want to see my husband?"

Fang Nianzhi stared meaningfully at them, her words laced with subtext, which annoyed them.

"Right, right, it’s our gathering, not his. We were so concerned about screening your husband for you that we neglected you. Let’s just have fun."

"Fang Nianzhi, you’re not planning a wedding, but maybe next time invite us over to your place."

The sisters each harbored their own thoughts. Fang Nianzhi loved to boast, so next time they’d find an excuse to show up at her door and expose her. Then they’d see what excuse she could come up with.

"Alright, definitely next time," Fang Nianzhi replied half-heartedly, thinking they’d address this matter later. For now, if she could just deceive them, that would suffice.

"Let’s drink!"

"Oh yeah, I’ve just ordered a few good-looking men; Fang Nianzhi, don’t be afraid, I’ll help you open the door to a new world later."

Just as Fang Nianzhi was about to take a sip of her drink, she heard this and nearly jumped out of her skin. Men? Was it what she thought it was?

While she was still in doubt, someone suddenly knocked on the private room door, "Your male models have arrived."

"Come on in."

"Alright."

Following that, the door swung open, and several tall figures walked in, each handsome and with different styles, "Hello, ladies."

"How about it, Fang Nianzhi? Not bad, right? I think this one suits you. Didn’t you say you liked muscular men before?"

The woman in the floral dress pushed one of the muscular men toward Fang Nianzhi.

"No... no need," Fang Nianzhi repeatedly waved her hands to refuse. Even though she and Sang Siyang had an indifferent relationship, she truly wasn’t interested in other men.

"Switched styles now? Then take a look at this one, clean and fresh."

"They’re all fine, but really, there’s no need to introduce them to me." Fang Nianzhi couldn’t say these men weren’t good-looking because saying so would be against her true feelings.

But the thought of interacting with these men was daunting given her limited introduction skills.

"I get it, our Fang Nianzhi is now playing the field, thinking one or two is too few, right? Fine, today, we sisters will make do and leave these men to you."

"Fang Nianzhi is quite shy; how can she enjoy herself with all of us around?"

"Good point. Let’s open another private room next door. You guys take good care of our Fang Nianzhi, got it?"

The sisters chimed in together and began to leave the room, giving Fang Nianzhi space.

"Don’t... I really don’t need it," Fang Nianzhi stood up suddenly, intending to run after them.

However, the male models, seeing their wealthy client about to escape, gathered around to show off their skills.

"Fang Nianzhi, tell us what you like to play with. We can do it all."

"Yeah, why not let us keep you entertained? Don’t waste time."

"Really, everything?" Fang Nianzhi’s desire to flee was stifled.

"Of course," the male models replied confidently. They’d been with at least eighty or a hundred wealthy women and claimed there was nothing they couldn’t do.

"Okay then, sit down," Fang Nianzhi said, finally interested.

After leaving the private room, the sisters gathered together.

"So, did you get her phone?"

"Got it. Fang Nianzhi didn’t even set a password. That husband must be the old man she married."

"Call him; I’ll do the talking."

"Okay."

The woman in the red dress took the phone and called the husband’s number.

The phone rang only briefly before being picked up, and then a gentle male voice came through, "Hello, Nianzhi, what’s wrong?"

"I’m Fang Nianzhi’s friend. Here’s the thing, we were partying at Dynasty in room 503, but when I went to the bathroom for a moment, I saw a bunch of men going into the private room. I don’t know what’s going on. You might want to come over quickly; I’m worried something might happen to Nianzhi."

"Go find the bar manager; I’ll be there immediately," Sang Siyang left these words and then hung up the phone.

The women watched the call end and burst into laughter.

"This old man’s voice is quite nice, just not very smart. He actually thinks something happened to Fang Nianzhi and asked me to find the bar manager, hahaha."
