Transmigrated into the body of the vain and materialistic ex-girlfriend of a young master

Curious, inquisitive, and envious gazes all focused on Su Jingsheng.

But due to the Bo family's authority, no one dared to speak out loudly.

Shen's father was talking with several business partners when he saw Bo Jinghuai and immediately came to greet him.

"Jing Huai is here." He smiled, then paused when his gaze turned to Su Jingsheng.

This Omega was not quite what he had imagined.

He expected to see a timid, unpresentable daughter of a bankrupt family.

But this Omega in front of him, with his composed demeanor and clean-cut temperament, didn't seem out of place standing next to Bo Jinghuai at all.

She didn't even avoid his gaze; instead, she nodded slightly at him.

Bo Jinghuai didn't say much, just nodded and led Su Jingsheng inside.

On the other side of the banquet hall, Lu Mohan, Yan Sichen, and Pei Zixian stood together.

Yan Sichen swirled his wine glass, saw Bo Jinghuai, and whistled.

"Oh, our young master Bo brought his family today."

Lu Mohan glanced at it but didn't say anything.

Pei Zixian pushed up his glasses and looked at Su Jingsheng.

Su Jingsheng looked beautiful today, and standing next to Bo Jinghuai, she didn't seem out of place at all.

Pei Zixian remembered the pearl hair clip that still smelled of her roses; it was still in his pocket.

He picked up his glass and took a sip.

……

Halfway through the banquet, several couples swayed on the dance floor under the crystal chandeliers.

Holding a glass of champagne, Shen's mother walked to Shen Qingyue's side and lowered her voice:

"Qingyue, find an opportunity to apologize to Jinghuai."

Shen Qingyue looked at Bo Jinghuai, who was talking to someone not far away, and tightened her grip on the wine glass: "Mom, he doesn't want to talk to me at all right now."

"Then let's create opportunities," said Shen's mother.

"The fact that he personally escorted Su Jingsheng here is already a slap in the face to the Shen family."

"But you can't sever ties with the Bo family; you have to take the initiative to ease tensions."

She paused, her gaze sweeping towards the dessert table.

Su Jingsheng was standing there alone, taking small bites of cake.

"Perfect timing, that girl's eating something while she's at it."

"Go find Jing Huai and tell him you have something to say. Ask him to meet you on the second-floor terrace." "It'll be quiet there, and no one will bother you."

Shen Qingyue pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay."

She took a deep breath, put on a gentle smile again, and walked towards Bo Jinghuai.

Bo Jinghuai was being talked to by two of Shen's uncles and elders, and his brows and eyes showed obvious impatience.

Shen Qingyue approached and interrupted softly, "Jing Huai, may we speak in private?"

Bo Jinghuai turned his head to look at her, his eyes cold: "What is it?"

"There's been some misunderstanding, and I'd like to clarify something," Shen Qingyue said, her voice softening further.

"It won't take you too long."

Bo Jinghuai glanced at the time, then looked towards the dessert table.

Su Jingsheng was facing away from us, her slender white hands holding a silver fork as she ate strawberry cake in small bites.

He looked away and said to Shen Qingyue, "Five minutes."

Shen Qingyue's eyes lit up: "Shall we go to the second-floor terrace? It's quiet there."

Bo Jinghuai did not respond and walked towards the stairs.

Shen Qingyue quickly followed.

The two went up to the second floor one after the other.

The circular corridor on the second floor is much quieter, ending at a glass door that leads to a spacious open-air platform.

Shen Qingyue pushed open the door, and the night breeze blew in, ruffling her hair.

She turned around and looked at Bo Jinghuai, her eyes slightly red:

"Jinghuai, I really know I was wrong about what happened last time."

Bo Jinghuai leaned against the doorframe, not going over, his voice flat: "Finished?"

Shen Qingyue bit her lip: "I know I went too far. I shouldn't have hit her."

"But I was just momentarily blinded by anger."

She took a step forward and reached out to tug at Bo Jinghuai's sleeve:

"We grew up together, can't you forgive me this once?"

Bo Jinghuai turned aside to avoid her hand.

"Shen Qingyue," he said, "save your apology for her."

Shen Qingyue's face paled: "You're just going to protect her like this?"

Bo Jinghuai didn't reply and turned to leave.

Shen Qingyue panicked and blurted out, "Jing Huai, what's so good about her?"

"A bankrupt woman, a gold digger who once bullied you—does she deserve you?"

"I'm the only one who truly loves you. From childhood to adulthood, it's always been me."

Bo Jinghuai stopped in his tracks, turned around, and stared at Shen Qingyue. "Whether she's worthy or not is none of your business."

He finished speaking and didn't linger.

Shen Qingyue stood there, watching his figure disappear at the top of the stairs, and tears finally fell.

She wiped away her tears, took a few deep breaths, and calmed herself down.

Five minutes later, she put on a gentle smile again and walked down the stairs.

Back in the banquet hall, she looked around but didn't see Bo Jinghuai.

Mrs. Shen walked over and asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Shen Qingyue shook her head: "He won't listen at all."

Mother Shen frowned, her gaze searching the hall:

"Where's Jing Huai? Didn't he go up with you?"

Shen Qingyue was taken aback: "He came down a long time ago."

A sudden unease welled up inside her, and she looked around carefully again.

Bo Jinghuai was not present.

Su Jingsheng was not there either.

Mrs. Shen noticed it too, and lowered her voice: "Both of them are gone."

Shen Qingyue's expression changed, and she lifted her skirt and walked upstairs.

Shen's mother grabbed her: "Qingyue, what are you doing?"

"I'll go look for them." Shen Qingyue's voice was tense. "They must still be on the second floor."

"Don't be impulsive!" Mrs. Shen frowned. "What if you run into something..."

"It's good that we bumped into each other." Shen Qingyue shook off her hand and quickly walked up the stairs.

She doesn't believe it.

I don't believe Bo Jinghuai would bring Su Jingsheng and cause trouble at her birthday party.
