A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1744 - 390: Solemn Vows, Crossroads Ahead

"You, stop right there...."

Her companion tugged at her, reminding, "Forget it, she’s the eldest daughter of the Yi Family, Yi Peilan, known for her bad temper. You’ll get nothing good out of a head-on clash with her...."

"Why say that about me? Who does she think she is? Just because she’s the eldest daughter of the Yi Family, she’s acting like she doesn’t see anyone?" The woman grumbled discontentedly.

"Being the eldest daughter of the Yi Family may not be much, but with a casual gesture, she could easily ruin your family. Jealousy will make you ugly, dear auntie."

Shangguan Qing and Mo Pianpian walked over arm in arm, spotting the woman’s livid face, Shangguan Qing snorted lightly, "Instead of using a puddle as a mirror to see your reflection, don’t even mention Miss Ji, you can’t even compare to my Shangguan family. Why try to steal the spotlight? Just stay in your own shell; coming out to disgust people is really your fault."

Mo Pianpian covered her mouth, stifling laughter. Shangguan Qing had truly mastered Yi Peilan’s sharp tongue; look at that woman, she was about to burst into tears.

"Miss Zhao didn’t do it on purpose, just let it go. Let’s go inside." Mo Pianpian pulled Shangguan Qing along inside.

The onlookers cast disdainful yet sympathetic looks at Miss Zhao.

Miss Zhao stomped her foot in frustration, "Ahhhhh, I’m so angry...."

The banquet tonight was quite extraordinary; Yun Ya walked into the banquet hall with Yi Suchen, the dazzling light made her instinctively squint.

The splendid banquet hall was filled with a whirl of fragrance and shadow, a paper-drunk and gold-draped scene, dizzying to behold.

Chen Huan hurried over to greet, "Second Lady Yan, Miss Ji, my apologies for not welcoming you sooner."

"Lady Tian." Yi Suchen nodded slightly in greeting, her demeanor was cold, elegant and dignified.

Their appearance attracted many gazes, with people in awe of their looks and demeanor, secretly inquiring about their backgrounds.

"Please, come inside." Chen Huan gestured invitingly, maintaining a posture that was neither obsequious nor offensive, expressing respect without causing displeasure.

Yun Ya nodded with a smile, "Thank you."

Chen Huan glanced at their figures, secretly clenching her palm.

"Mother." A young woman in a lake blue dress walked over, with thick brows and large eyes, a petite nose and cherry lips, tall and graceful, resembling Chen Huan slightly in her features. Her smile revealed dimples, radiating sweetness; this young woman should be Chen Huan and Tian Ping’s only daughter, Tian Yan.

Tian Yan approached, her eyes alight upon seeing Yun Ya, exuding a pleasant vibe, "Is this Miss Ji? You’re just like the rumors say, like someone walked out of a painting. Seeing you, Miss Ji, I finally understand the saying ’there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people.’ Even your words are comforting."

Yun Ya smiled and said, "Miss Tian, happy birthday."

Tian Yan clasped her hand, full of smiles, "I’m a few years older than you; if you don’t mind, just call me sister."

Yun Ya pursed her lips, smiling, "Sister Tian."

"Ah..." Tian Yan nodded in response and took Yun Ya’s hand, "I truly wish I had a little sister as beautiful and talented as you, but alas, I’m not so fortunate."

This Tian Yan, is even more eloquent than her mother, truly adept at making connections, a slick operator...

Chen Huan’s eyes crinkled as she laughed, "Yan’er, make sure to entertain Miss Ji. Second Lady, this way please."

Yi Suchen glanced at Yun Ya.

"Aunt."

Yun Ya turned her head to see Yi Peilan lifting her gown as she approached, delicate and graceful, resembling Yi Suchen in her facial features but showcasing more arrogance and less etherealness.

Yi Suchen’s smile grew a touch warmer, "Peilan, you’re here too."

"Aunt, I didn’t expect you’d come." Yi Peilan beamed, affectionately taking Yi Suchen’s arm.

"Yun Ya, you’re here too." Yi Peilan grinned and greeted Yun Ya.

"Miss Tian, happy birthday."

Tian Yan nodded with a smile.

"You keep Yun Ya company, I’ll go greet some ladies over there." With those words, she patted Yi Peilan’s hand and turned to leave.

"Yun Ya, I heard you haven’t been feeling well these past few days. I was going to visit you; are you feeling better now?" Yi Peilan asked with concern.

Tian Yan raised an eyebrow, glancing at Yun Ya, despite the makeup covering her face, it couldn’t hide her gaunt visage, making her appear more charmingly striking.

"I’m fine, much better now."

"You’re really something, not taking care of your health. In just a short time you’ve lost so much weight; when Young Master Yan returns, who knows how heartbroken he’ll be." Yi Peilan covered her mouth, giggling.

Yun Ya cast a helpless glance her way.

"Sister Yun Ya." Mo Pianpian, arm-in-arm with Shangguan Qing, walked over, giggling, "Haven’t seen you in so long, oh? You look much slimmer, Sister Yun Ya, can you teach me how to lose weight like you?"
