CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 331

Jiang Weiwei, faced with the rare warmth shown by Xiao Qingyun, felt somewhat at a loss to respond when Yu Man quickly spoke up on her behalf: "Qingyun, our Weiwei no longer likes Yunshang’s personal custom designs."

"No longer likes them? Why? I remember before, Weiwei almost exclusively wore clothes from Yunshang."

Xiao Qingyun also asked Yu Man, "You’re not still angry with me, refusing to accept my gift as a deliberate statement, are you?"

Yu Man helped Jiang Weiwei refuse Xiao Qingyun’s friendly gesture, and indeed, part of the reason was still harboring resentment towards Xiao Qingyun.

But she also knew that voicing such a matter would make her seem petty and nitpicky.

Besides, another reason she aided Jiang Weiwei in rejecting Xiao Qingyun’s gift was that Jiang Weiwei had been blacklisted by Yunshang.

And it wasn’t just Jiang Weiwei; she, Yu Man, was blacklisted as well.

Yu Man came to learn of this when she realized that if Jiang Weiwei could be acknowledged as Lady Suchen’s foster daughter, there was a chance for them to enter the ranks of the top affluent families, so she wanted to preorder a few Yunshang gowns for Jiang Weiwei in preparation for future needs.

But what Yu Man hadn’t expected was to learn during that visit to order the gowns that both she and Jiang Weiwei had been blacklisted by Yunshang.

Yu Man truly couldn’t understand why they, who had been loyal fans of Yunshang for years and had spent countless amounts in their stores, were suddenly blacklisted?

When Yu Man heard that Yunshang would be having a celebration banquet the day after tomorrow night for the successful sales of Designer X’s new collection, she went through great lengths to obtain an invitation, intending to ask Yunshang’s person in charge on the spot why they had been blacklisted.

But these matters, Yu Man couldn’t reveal in front of Xiao Qingyun for the moment, otherwise, she was sure to be ridiculed by Xiao Qingyun.

So Yu Man only said, "How could that be? Qingyun, you’re thinking too much. We just haven’t liked the brand recently. Look, both Weiwei and I have hardly worn Yunshang’s clothes lately."

Thus, Xiao Qingyun could only temporarily put aside the idea of customizing Yunshang clothes for Jiang Weiwei.

After receiving a grateful look from Jiang Weiwei, she then talked with Jiang Tairan about Suchen’s recent opening of a new restaurant.

"Grandpa, I suddenly want to open a restaurant too, so that I can have the opportunity to ask Lady Suchen about related matters and have more contact."

Upon hearing Jiang Weiwei’s words, Jiang Tairan nodded: "Good, owning a restaurant indeed gives you more common topics of conversation."

So, Jiang Tairan transferred fifty million to Jiang Weiwei on the spot, "Take this money and find a place to open a restaurant, and make sure to invite Suchen on the opening day."

Jiang Weiwei quickly agreed, and then, amidst everyone’s compliments, she finished the meal in high spirits...

Another morning came, and when Jiang Moxi woke up, Fu Youhan had already arranged for breakfast to be delivered by the hotel.

Looking at the man inviting her to join him at the dining table for a delicious breakfast, Jiang Moxi suddenly felt that these brief everyday meals shared with someone were far better than a long and lonely life lived alone.

So, taking advantage of mealtime, Jiang Moxi sent a reply to Jing Yan: "Even if it were Wen You, I wouldn’t want to retreat."

Seeing Jiang Moxi sending a message, Fu Youhan casually placed a pan-fried bun on her plate, "I originally planned to have crab for you tonight, but I have to chair a video conference, so let’s make it tomorrow night. I’ll have someone send over that type of snow crab from yesterday to make soup for you."

"Eating at home?" Jiang Moxi, after deleting her chat history, looked up and asked Fu Youhan.

The man, upon hearing her say the word "home," suddenly gave a smile: "Yes, at home!"

"Alright, fine. But after I eat the crab soup, I have to go out for a bit," Jiang Moxi said.

Her designs from a while ago were once again sold out due to overwhelming demand, and even adding several hundred thousand more pieces wasn’t enough, so Yunshang decided to hold a celebration banquet for her tomorrow night.

It was said that quite a few of Yan City’s socialites were invited to attend.

Jiang Moxi really couldn’t refuse, so she agreed.

Fu Youhan asked her if she had any plans for tomorrow night, and Jiang Moxi only mentioned she had some matters to attend to.

In fact, if Fu Youhan had probed further, Jiang Moxi would have revealed the celebration banquet she planned to attend.

But Fu Youhan only reminded her, "Just be careful when you ride your motorcycle tomorrow night."

Apart from wanting to give Jiang Moxi some private space, he also had things to deal with after dinner tomorrow night.

The scrumptious breakfast concluded swiftly.

Jiang Moxi proceeded to attend classes at the Technical College as usual, but unexpectedly stumbled upon Xue Junyi.

He was chatting and laughing with an extravagantly dressed woman at the school entrance.

Although there were no intimate actions between them, the ambiance felt oddly exclusive to them, unapproachable by others.

Therefore, Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but take a few more glances at the woman, realizing she was not the same one from the last concert.

However, the attire she wore was the same as before, all flaunting distinctly luxury brand logos.

But soon, the woman left, and Xue Junyi headed into the school grounds.

Jiang Moxi didn’t really think much of the encounter, but when she followed Xue Junyi into campus, she suddenly saw him bumping into a dorm roommate.

"Hey buddy, another woman throwing herself at you?"

Xue Junyi’s roommate playfully punched his shoulder. The two walked on together, not noticing Jiang Moxi nearby, and casually began to gossip.

"Yeah, I heard that girl’s family owns several properties in Platinum Blue County, but who knows if it’s true!"

While saying this, Xue Junyi couldn’t help but laugh sideways to his roommate.

That laugh made Jiang Moxi’s scalp tingle.

Because his eyes were filled with greed and lechery, an appearance completely different from his usual self.

"If it’s true, you’re set for life if you marry her. You’d save yourself the efforts of a lifetime," said Xue Junyi’s roommate.

"My mom said the same thing. If I get a house here, it would bring her peace and comfort."

Xue Junyi chatted and laughed with his roommate, and soon they turned into the technology building where their class was.

Jiang Moxi, however, felt extra uneasy due to their conversation.

Although she knew that some guys liked to boast when together, Xue Junyi’s greedy expression earlier didn’t seem fake at all.

She couldn’t stand idly by and watch Ling Hua fall into this trap...

So, during the class that day, Jiang Moxi used her modified phone to capture the surveillance footage from the school’s entrance, extracting the face of the woman who had been talking to Xue Junyi.

Then quickly, she used the accessible network to pull up the woman’s information.

She discovered the woman was named Cheng Huiyan, currently thirty-two years old, and someone who preferred taking shortcuts.

The properties Cheng Huiyan had in Platinum Blue County were actually gifted by the bosses who kept her.

Every time Cheng Huiyan appeared at those properties, it meant she was spending the night with those bosses.

As Jiang Moxi scrutinized the surveillance footage she had infiltrated for those properties, she found several explicit scenes of her at the doorsteps, where the bosses, in their impatience, would tear open her blouse to fulfill their desires...
