Chapter 404: A Dream (3)
"And you are?" Qiao Mo asked, opening her mouth.Before Chen Shiqing could speak, Qiao Yin sneered from the side, "This is Miss Chen from the Chen family in Jiang City. Surely, Xiao Mo, you’ve heard of them. But... Miss Chen has another identity... Xiao Mo, you’d never guess."
Qiao Mo frowned slightly, clearly seeing a hint of schadenfreude in Qiao Yin’s eyes.
Qiao Yin could hardly contain the joy in her eyes, "Xiao Mo, Miss Chen is not just the daughter of the Chen family... She is also Mr. Fu’s fiancée."
Qiao Mo was slightly startled and did not react for a moment.
Mr. Fu’s... fiancée?
Fu Nancheng, huh...
Seeing Qiao Mo’s expression, a sense of pride flashed in Qiao Yin’s eyes, as if she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"It’s a pity that someone thought they could become a phoenix by climbing onto a high branch, yet they don’t know that an illegitimate child will always be an illegitimate child, the most disgraceful and filthy existence!"
Qiao Mo ignored Qiao Yin, her gaze always on Chen Shiqing. She involuntarily asked softly, "Fiancée?"
Chen Shiqing smiled and did not deny it: "To be precise, now I’m only considered a quasi-fiancée."
"Anyway, the time and place for the engagement banquet are already set. Whether quasi or not, I can’t think of anyone more suitable to become Mrs. Fu than you, Shi Qing. After all, Mr. Fu is not a man who would marry just anyone." Qiao Yin stared at Qiao Mo, implying something, with an air of arrogance.
Only then did Qiao Mo come back to her senses, a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes.
Fiancée, huh...
She really didn’t know he already had a fiancée.
Oh no, maybe that’s not how it should be put.
She should say that she really didn’t know he was ready for an engagement banquet.
Chen Shiqing took an invitation from her purse and handed it to Qiao Mo, speaking softly, "Miss Qiao, this is the invitation to the engagement banquet. You must definitely come."
The light golden invitation, with intricate hollow patterns, glowed slightly under the light.
Because the invitation was closed, the contents inside were not visible.
But Qiao Mo knew that inside, it probably bore the names of this woman and Fu Nancheng.
Qiao Mo knew that what Chen Shiqing gave her wasn’t an invitation.
It was a declaration of war.
A woman’s challenge to her.
Even so, she still reached out to take the invitation, lightly opening it.
She herself didn’t know whether she accepted this invitation because she wanted to battle, or to remind herself that dreams must always come to an end one day.
The light golden page, with the names Fu Nancheng and Chen Shiqing side by side, seemed inexplicably fitting, yet strangely ironic.
Suppressing her emotions, Qiao Mo gently closed the invitation and said with an unchanged expression and a light smile, "I didn’t expect Miss Chen to be getting engaged. It seems congratulations are in order for you."
"It’s good that you have this intention, but after the engagement, Nancheng will more or less have half a family, so I do hope Miss Qiao... won’t destroy someone else’s family."
Chen Shiqing chuckled as she spoke but placed particular emphasis on the words about destroying someone else’s family.
Qiao Mo felt a pang of pain in her chest, but still smiled, "It seems you’re not very confident in your own marriage, are you?"
"I guess I was overthinking it, after all. I’ve heard that Nancheng has already asked you to move out of Nanshan Villa. It seems he’s still a man who knows how to prioritize. After all, whether it’s the Chen family or the Fu family, they don’t lack a bit of money, and they can afford to keep a few women outside."
Chen Shiqing spoke calmly and slowly, yet effortlessly classified Qiao Mo as a mere toy of Fu Nancheng.
