Chapter 175 The down-and-out lady VS the dandy warlord 11
"We heard that you got married, and the sisters were all sad for a while... This must be the Third Young Lady."
Rose looked at Wen Xi from head to toe with some curiosity, as if she had just seen Wen Xi.
Sisters? Fu Yuezhi has so many female confidantes? Wen Xi looked like she was looking forward to the show.
He glanced at Fu Yuezhi lightly.
Fu Yuezhi's expression was calm, and the smile in his eyes did not diminish.
"It's me. I've never heard my husband mention you." Wen Xi smiled faintly and began to add fuel to the fire between Fu Yuezhi and his confidante.
Rose's eyes flashed with embarrassment, but she remained calm, "Third Master didn't say anything, but he had his reasons, Rose can understand."
Fu Yuezhi raised his eyebrows without any explanation, and just asked: "I heard that Yueji has composed a new song and will be singing on stage today?"
When Rose saw Fu Yuezhi paying attention to her, she looked a little happy, "Yes, Yueji has been polishing this song for a month. Third Master, you can listen to it carefully and give us some suggestions when the time comes."
Ling Lingqi's reminder rang in his mind: "The singing girls in Paramount are all named after flowers. Fu Yuezhi is the boss behind the scenes. Paramount is openly hosting people from all walks of life, but it is actually an intelligence station."
"So, the relationship between Fu Yuezhi and this Rose is not just that of a patron and a singing girl?"
"Yes, master." Ling Lingqi replied.
Wen Xi smiled faintly, and gently opened her hand that was tightly clasped, leaving them enough space.
"You guys chat first, I'll go for a walk."
Fu Yuezhi's eyes flashed with hesitation. He lowered his head and approached Wen Xi, helping her to tidy up her scarf. He whispered, "Don't go too far. Be careful."
Wen Xi nodded, telling him to rest assured, and left.
Fu Yuezhi looked at the figure walking away, feeling a little empty in his heart.
He just let Rose come over and talk to him, thinking that this woman would be jealous, but she didn't react at all.
Fu Yuezhi's eyes dimmed.
Rose laughed, covering her mouth with her hands.
The voice was still full of laughter: "It seems that Third Master is the one who cares for his wife but is ruthless."
She could see clearly that the "Third Young Lady" in front of her did not have any improper thoughts about the Third Master.
Fu Yuezhi sighed slightly in his heart.
On the surface, he still looked lazy, "I don't lack women."
Rose smiled and shook her head, then moved closer to Fu Yuezhi affectionately. The two of them looked very intimate.
The guests passing by all looked at them sideways, and the two of them were whispering to each other as if they were flirting with each other.
"Third Master, the latest news is: Mr. Yafit's cargo is parked at the Sixteenth Bay Wharf. There are medicines in it, but there are also some things hidden very deep. I don't know what they are."
"Chief of Staff Bai's banquet today is also for discussing business with Yafit. The others are just guests."
"Well, I see."
Fu Yuezhi's hand gently played with Rose's hair, and their eyes seemed to hold an ambiguous hook, but their voices were extremely calm.
"Yueji has now taken Mr. Yafit to the VIP lounge to discuss the piano music. You can go now, Third Master."
"Okay, hard work."
There was a solemn look in Fu Yuezhi's eyes.
"You're welcome. This is what Rose should do. After all, the war on the front line is tight and there is a huge shortage of medicines. I hope you can negotiate this deal, so that my brother can be safer on the front line."
On the surface, Rose held Fu Yuezhi in her arms and walked towards the VIP lounge.
........
Wen Xi in the dessert area took a bite of the palace dessert. It was sweet but not greasy, and melted in her mouth. It was very delicious. After eating two pieces in a row, she took a glass of white wine from the waiter to moisten her mouth.
At this time a voice sounded.
"All you know is eating and drinking. You didn't even bother to take a look when the Third Young Master was kidnapped!"
Wen Xi thought the voice sounded familiar, so she looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sheng Mingzhu in a pale blue dress.
This was the person I had encountered at the welcoming banquet for the eldest daughter of the Fu family.
Sheng Mingzhu frowned, looking very disappointed in someone.
He looked Wen Xi up and down and said, "You are dressed appropriately today."
Wen Xi felt puzzled. She thought Sheng Mingzhu might have some problem. Their last encounter was not so harmonious.
Is it because he saw that she married the third young master of the Fu family that he no longer considers her a love rival?
Wen Xi glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to reach for the snacks.
Sheng Mingzhu, however, seemed to be very familiar with the place. She walked up to Wen Xi and said angrily:
"These women really have no self-respect at all. They even approach married men. They are so shameless and so mean!"
When Sheng Mingzhu saw that Wen Xi didn't answer, she felt that she was secretly sad.
So he continued to mutter to himself.
A rich lady would only curse people with two sentences, over and over again. Wen Xi's ears were callused from hearing it.
"Shut up." Wen Xi didn't even bother to eat snacks.
Sheng Mingzhu was stunned for a moment.
Wen Xi said calmly, "You told me before that women should be independent. What's the point of always clinging to a man?"
Sheng Mingzhu didn't react: "But he is your husband. You married him."
"So what? Is this the meaning of being a woman? Then what's the meaning of your independence?"
"Independence means..." Sheng Mingzhu was suddenly stuck, looking a little confused.
"I think independence can be described as the ability to support oneself, or as a spirit that is not bound by constraints, or as a transcendence of worldly prejudices... It is a very broad range, and should not be limited to a man."
Wen Xi took a sip of the white wine. It was a little sour, but had a sweet aftertaste. She was a little tipsy, so she talked more.
"A fly won't bite an egg without cracks. Flies are bad, but if you throw away the rotten eggs, why bother seeing what he does?"
Sheng Mingzhu was shocked. Although she accepted new-style education, the books she read at home were all carefully selected. The elders in her family still passed on the traditional concept of supporting the husband and raising children.
This is the first time I have heard such remarks.
She was extremely shocked, and it was even more unbelievable that these words came from the mouth of a traditional woman whom she thought of.
He was speechless for a long while.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Wen Xi ignored her and glanced around at the snacks she had not eaten.
"This is delicious, it's a new style Napoleon." Sheng Mingzhu handed a piece of golden and crispy pastry to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, only to see that Sheng Mingzhu looked shy, but her eyes were very sincere.
Wen Xi took it and took a bite. It was indeed sweet.
"According to you, men are actually unimportant and the most important thing is yourself?" Sheng Mingzhu asked hesitantly.
"Whether it is insignificant or important, you have the freedom to choose." Wen Xi said lightly.
Sheng Mingzhu nodded thoughtfully.
"Boom!"
Two gunshots rang out, and the guests around were thrown into panic.
Wen Xi squinted her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound, which seemed to be the direction of the lounge.
