Spoiled Sparrow

Chen Yan could hardly believe what he had just heard.

President Fu is actually showing signs of anxiety about his appearance.

Oh well, this is fine too. Insecure men are the most endearing to women.

He was too confident before, but now that he's faced this challenge, he's acting like a normal person.

"Mr. Fu, your wife is so young, it's normal for her to have young men pursuing her, please don't overthink it."

You'd better think it over carefully, or you'll miss this opportunity.

Fu Chen's hands hung limply on his lap. He looked down at his legs, which were pierced with steel needles, and his eyes showed even more desolation.

Chen Yan observed his actions and suddenly regretted adding fuel to the fire.

He was originally a prodigy, but now he has to rely on a wheelchair to go out. Anyone would feel sorry for him.

Chen Yan softened his voice: "President Fu, what if your wife likes someone older than you? Don't worry."

Only after saying those words did I realize that something was off.

Why does it sound like you're being sarcastic or sarcastic towards Fu Chen?

Chen Yan was about to say something when Fu Chen spoke up.

"You're right."

Chen Yan's eyes widened. What?

He was already eight years older than Ruan Qing, and if he didn't hurry up, he would have more and more competitors.

He needs to hurry.

"Let's go, follow them."

Chen Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Okay."

Ruan Qing chose a less eye-catching dress from the ones He Xun Nan had prepared for her.

But even wearing it, she still attracted everyone's attention at the party.

Pei Yifei's assistant came over, said a few words to her, and then left.

Ruan Qing and Henry sat in a corner, listening to him gossip about the group.

A moment later, a familiar face appeared in front of her.

"Hey, who is this? How dare they come here? Don't lower everyone's standards."

Yin Xuanya's sharp voice immediately attracted the attention of those around them.

It seems like the conflict stems from what happened last time.

Ruan Qing felt uncomfortable hearing this and stood up directly, retorting, "President Pei invited me here, why don't you go ask her why?"

"you--"

When Yin Xuanya saw her bring up Pei Yifei, she swallowed the harsh words that were about to spill out.

Qi Fei ran over and grabbed her: "Grandma, calm down, we can't afford to mess with this person."

It would have been better if the man hadn't said anything; Yin Xuanya would have just made a few sarcastic remarks.

As a result, her boyfriend blamed her in front of everyone, and her disgust for Ruan Qing instantly surged, determined to embarrass her.

Yin Xuanya raised her hand, "You bitch, what kind of bewitching potion did you give Qi Fei? All you can talk about is you!"

That's really an eyesore.

Ruan Qing stopped her hand from falling, staring at her coldly: "Shut up, you can't even control your own dog, and you're blaming people for letting it run wild. Are you out of your mind?! If you can't control it, go home and get a rope to tie it to a tree, so it doesn't come out and cause trouble."

Yin Xuanya was stunned, her eyes instantly becoming clearer.

Clearly, they were intimidated by Ruan Qing's sudden outburst, and by the end, there was no sound, only Ruan Qing's beautiful face remaining as she cursed.

Yin Xuanya stood there stunned, while everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself.

Everyone in the industry knows this guy has been arrogant since childhood; there's going to be a good show to watch.

To her surprise, she didn't say anything more and was about to turn around and leave when Pei Yifei came up from behind and put one hand on her waist.

Smiling, he said to Ruan Qing, "Xuan Ya is my good friend. Don't take this to heart."

Ruan Qing frowned: "I don't care."

Pei Yifei turned to Yin Xuanya and reprimanded her: "Xuanya, apologize to Sister Ruan Qing."

Yin Xuanya was young and had a strong sense of self-esteem. When she heard Pei Yifei say that, her expression immediately turned sour.

"Why shouldn't I apologize?"

After saying that, she turned and left, and Qi Fei quickly chased after her.

Yin Xuanya was so angry that she ran all the way and accidentally bumped into someone.

"Who is it that's so blind?"

Looking down, she realized he was disabled. She wiped away her tears and said, "I'm sorry."

Qi Fei chased after her, calling out, "Xuan Ya, wait for me!"

The two were arguing loudly outside: "Why should Pei Yifei make me apologize? Didn't she tell me that this guy surnamed Ruan was no ordinary person?! Why do I have to apologize to her when I stood up for her?!"

Qi Fei quickly covered her mouth: "Xuan Ya, you can't say such things."

Yin Xuanya burst into tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and she couldn't stop crying.

She shook off Qi Fei's hand: "I treat her like an older sister, but she uses me as a tool. Even if I'm stupid, can't I see that?"

And you, Qi Fei.

Ruan Qing is right, you're just a dog that bites indiscriminately, you don't deserve to be my boyfriend.

Starting today, I'm breaking up with you! Breaking up!

"Xuanya, don't be impulsive..."

He never expected that Yin Xuanya, who was known as a complete idiot, would actually believe Ruan Qing's words.

She actually wants to break up with him; these were the very words he used to manipulate this young lady of the Yin family.

Chen Yan recorded the entire process and then put away his phone.

"President Fu, it seems that the Pei she mentioned is quite a character."

Fu Chen's eyes darkened: "The person who was spying on her downstairs that day."

Fu Chen stopped there, and Chen Yan immediately ordered his men to change direction.

At the party, the group of people who missed the fun dispersed in a loud commotion.

Pei Yifei sat down next to her.

"Miss Ruan, would you like a drink?" She raised her glass. "Don't spoil the good mood."

Ruan Qing took the cocktail she was offered, took a small sip, and put the glass down. Unexpectedly, the other person drank it all in one gulp.

What's going on?

Ruan Qing thought about it and realized she hadn't offended this person.

Pei Yifei raised an eyebrow: "This is our rule here; it's best to finish the first glass of wine."

Ruan Qing glanced at Henry out of the corner of her eye; he was sitting to the side, nodding.

"Don't worry, this drink isn't very strong. You're Xun Nan's sister, so I'll naturally take good care of you."

Since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to drink the wine.

"Okay, I'll go entertain the others. Make yourself at home."

As soon as she left, Ruan Qing immediately stuffed two slices of watermelon into her mouth.

This is hardly a low-alcohol drink; it's the first time I've ever had a cocktail that burned my throat.

Henry immediately poured her a glass of warm water.

"Sister Pei is really something, why is she making things difficult for you?"

Even Henry could see the malice Pei Yifei harbored towards her; how could her attitude change so quickly?

I called her "little sister" when we first met.

No, sister... could it be because of He Xunnan?

That makes sense.

The two were chatting in a corner when, after only a few words, people kept coming up to toast them.

You wouldn't know unless you asked, but once you did, you'd find out they were either well-known figures in the local business or influential seniors in the industry.

Ruan Qing was completely drunk. "Henry, give me your bag... I... need to go to the restroom."

Henry saw that she couldn't speak clearly, so he had no choice but to accompany her to the restroom. But when he turned around, she was gone.

Her cheeks were burning hot, and her vision was covered with a layer of mist.

Ruan Qing leaned against the wall and slowly walked forward, her consciousness drifting. She really wanted to use the sky as a blanket and the earth as a bed.

We walked for a long time but still couldn't find a toilet.

"Where is the toilet...?"

As she turned a corner, a familiar figure blocked her way.
