My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

Chapter 195: 195: Not Giving Any Face

She was also out of luck; just at that moment, a wealthy lady clad in mink had arrived at their table.

All the flash lights and cameras then turned towards them.

Rong Weiwei was suddenly enveloped in a bright light and pursed her lips. Shi Mufeng quietly gave her a suggestive look, and although she was still worried about the missing bracelet, she had no choice but to suppress her feelings and manage a graceful smile in such a situation.

After the auction process of the dinner was over, it naturally progressed to the banquet time. According to custom, the host would generally have a social drink with the person who had bid a large amount of money on their auction item. So, even though Lin Zhiya didn’t really like the person who unexpectedly bid on her collection, she still came over due to her noble upbringing.

“Mrs. Lin, ” Shi Mufeng, although not exactly familiar with Lin Zhiya, did have business dealings with her family. Hence, his calling her “Mrs. Lin” was not too abrupt.

“Mufeng is here too? Why didn’t your mother come today?”

“My mother is abroad, she called me earlier to make sure I would attend your charity dinner on her behalf.”

“I see.”

“By the way, Mrs. Lin, this is my girlfriend, Wei.” His suave appearance attracted the eyes of many ladies of high society, which, in turn, made the looks directed at Rong Weiwei standing beside him filled with envy and jealousy.

Rong Weiwei thoroughly enjoyed these envious and jealous stares, and for a moment, forgot all about the bracelet, obediently and sensibly calling out to

Lin Zhiya, “Mrs. Li.”

Lin Zhiya glanced at her, and the polite smile on her face gradually grew colder, uttering a noncommittal ‘hmm’ as a recognition of her.

“Does your mother know you have a girlfriend?”

Her lack of courtesy made Rong Weiwei’s face flush alternating shades of green and red, the previously sweet smile instantly freezing on her lips.

Jiang Meiqi was present today too, but she deliberately did not walk with Rong Weiwei and her group, instead sitting with a few high-class ladies she was close with.

Initially, when she saw Shi Mufeng introduce Rong Weiwei to Mrs. Li, she felt secretly pleased. Yet, upon seeing her beloved daughter’s unnatural expression on her face, she was instantly livid, her mouth awry with anger.

“That damned widow!”

Her voice was very low, hardly audible to anyone, only the noblewoman closest to her heard, startled, she looked at Jiang Meiqi, “Who are you talking about?”

Jiang Meiqi then realized she had lost composure, took a deep breath, gathered her emotions, and forcibly withdrew her gaze from Rong Weiwei’s direction. She laughed trying to cover for herself, “I didn’t say anyone; you misheard. I was talking about mosquitoes. Lately at night, there seem to be more mosquitoes. Just last night, I got a bite on my arm. Once bitten, the red bumps last for days and are so bothersome.”

“You were talking about mosquitoes? I thought you were saying…” She had thought Jiang Meiqi had gone crazy, talking about Mrs. Li.

If that were the case, she would need to keep her distance from Jiang Meiqi.

“Of course, who else could I be talking about?” Jiang Meiqi’s eyes flashed as she suppressed the rage in her heart, smiling as she deftly changed the subject.

On the other side, after a brief moment of awkwardness, Rong Weiwei proactively responded to the question that had embarrassed her, “I’ve met the aunt before, she’s very nice. She even talked to me about you, saying you really like collecting jewelry. I’m also very interested in jewelry. I even studied jewelry design for a while. A few days ago, I luckily got a draft from Master Berry.. I don’t suppose I could I ask you to help me verify its authenticity?”
