Chapter 513: Self-inflicted Consequences (11)
But soon, someone reacted.Immediately praised: "Just lightly stroke the pen, at the top of the cross, add a stroke. Brilliant! Brilliant!"
"Adding a stroke at the top of the cross turns it into thousand. This eighty-year-old becomes eight thousand years old, interesting, interesting!"
"Indeed, I didn’t expect this Miss Qiao to be such a clever person!"
For a time, many people once again expressed their admiration, looking at Qiao Mo with a brand-new perspective.
With a couple of clever words, everyone easily distinguished the high from the low in this birthday toast.
Chen Shiqing’s face turned extremely unsightly for a moment, others’ praise for her was good, indeed nice. But when it came to Qiao Mo, their compliments turned into clever, turned into interesting!
The winner was easily revealed!
Even more hateful was this Qiao Mo.
She wished Mr. Fu longevity as long as the sun and moon, as strong as South Mountain and pine and cypress.
But this Qiao Mo openly refuted her, saying not to bless the birthday star with incense candles, not to wish for divine creatures, it was practically a public slap in the face, challenging her!
Mr. Fu also did not expect Qiao Mo to say such a congratulatory message, obviously not afraid of Chen Shiqing’s resentment and took a closer look at the woman in front of him with a faint smile.
A few seconds later, he finally said in a deep voice: "Indeed, talent emerges in every generation, us old folks have to admit our age."
Qiao Mo raised her glass and took a sip.
Seeing this, Chen Shiqing stepped forward with her glass again: "I toast Miss Qiao, I didn’t expect Miss Qiao to be such an expert, I made a fool of myself."
Qiao Mo smiled slightly: "Miss Chen is really an interesting person. Last time at the C Family’s fashion show, you also said this, I didn’t expect you’d use ’make a fool of myself’ again this time."
Mentioning her thoughts on that painting last time, Chen Shiqing’s face twisted slightly. Her gaze towards her was somewhat fierce.
Mrs. Chen, worried, frowned several times trying to speak, but ultimately said nothing.
Qiao Mo took another two sips of champagne, ignoring her, turned to look at Fu Nancheng.
Fu Nancheng reached out and took the wine glass from her hand, placing it on the tray held by a nearby waiter: "Drink less."
Qiao Mo smiled slightly, beautifully captivating: "Okay."
Chen Shiqing stood to the side, her eyes burning with anger, her smile somewhat twisted.
After giving her a deep look, she turned and returned to Mrs. Chen’s side.
Until everyone dispersed, Mr. Fu busied himself introducing Fu Nancheng to many old friends and company shareholders.
Chen Shiqing reluctantly spoke to Mrs. Chen, "Mom, look at that Qiao Mo! Clearly bullying me! Nancheng is so protective of her, I’m utterly humiliated!"
"Who do you blame for your own incompetence?" Mrs. Chen sipped her wine and spoke indifferently.
"Mom! It’s come to this, and you still want me to smile, to smile! How can I smile anymore!" Chen Shiqing was furious.
Mrs. Chen frowned: "Shiqing, you need to be clear. Your only reliance now is Mr. Fu. If he no longer supports you, I think this marriage should be cancelled soon!"
"Mom, how can you say that!"
"Shiqing, you don’t need to worry too much. Our Chen family holds many important projects now, Mr. Fu is more worried that your brother might marry Fu Zhiyuan’s daughter, causing our Chen family to side with Fu Zhiyuan, helping him split the Fu family. So, he should be more eager than us for Nancheng to marry you." Mrs. Chen spoke slowly.
