Chapter 123: War

Hsieh Ching-yi was very pleased with their compliments, beaming with joy and looking quite pleased with herself.

"That's natural."

Seeing Xie Qingyi's smug expression, Qiao Weiwei suddenly frowned and said with difficulty, "But I seem to have heard that Jiang Qianhui's mother is also going to wear this dress. It's all my fault for not thinking it through. It's such a pity."

Xie Qingyi's face fell instantly upon hearing this.

"You mean Jiang Qianhui's mother is going to wear the same dress? That's really bad luck."

Xie Qingyi was extremely gloomy; she really liked this dress. But she never expected Yang Huirong to wear it too, which infuriated her.

"That despicable Yang Huirong, how dare she wear this dress with her figure? She's shameless."

At this moment, Yan Lan chimed in, "Mom, isn't it such a pity? You look so beautiful in this dress, but she can't wear it because of you. Yang Huirong looks nothing like you in it."

Xie Qingyi's expression softened somewhat.

Qiao Weiwei chimed in, "Madam Zhan, you look absolutely stunning in this dress. I don't think it's a big deal if we wear the same thing as someone else. After all, Madam Zhan, with your amazing figure, this dress looks like it was made just for you."

"Yes, that's right. It's not embarrassing to wear the same clothes as someone else, it's embarrassing to wear something ugly. Mom, I think you shouldn't change. Just wear this dress. When you get to the banquet, Yang Huirong can change her clothes."

Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyi immediately changed her expression.

"That's right. Why should I change clothes? When she saw that I was wearing the same dress as her, and saw how ugly she looked, shouldn't she have gone to change as soon as possible? Besides, Jiang Qianhui is a daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. Her mother wearing the same dress as me offended me, so she has to take her mother to change clothes!"

Xie Qingyi was instantly in a great mood and couldn't wait to put pressure on Jiang Qianhui and Yang Huirong.

“That’s right. Even if Yang Huirong and Mom wear the same clothes, she is the one who should change her clothes.”

"Let's go to the banquet. I can't wait to see her embarrassed, to see her change clothes, to see her being criticized. Let's go."

After Xie Qingyi finished speaking, she was smug and wanted to go to the banquet hall. She couldn't wait to see Yang Huirong, to see her shocked expression when she saw that she was wearing the same clothes as her, and to see her slinking away to change her clothes.

After taking a few steps, she realized that Qiao Weiwei hadn't followed either.

"Weiwei, why didn't you follow us?"

"Madam Zhan, I think I'd better not go. It's not appropriate for someone like me, who has no official status, to go along."

Xie Qingyi frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'no name or status'? You are a meritorious official of our Zhan family. Your going to the Jiang family is also giving them face. Come with me."

Xie Qingyi asked Qiao Weiwei to go with her, and Qiao Weiwei, feigning reluctance, went along.

The banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel in Country A.

When Hsieh Ching-yi appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to her dress and jewelry.

“Madam Zhan, this dress you're wearing is a new design from L brand this season. You look just as good as those young girls in it.”

"What little girl? You're comparing Madam Zhan to those people."

"The young lady doesn't have the noble air of Madam Zhan."

"Madam Zhan's jewelry necklace is too extravagant."

The wealthy women and noble ladies came up to flatter Madam Zhan.

"Your clothes are really nice."

"Madam Zhan, you are born with an air of nobility."

"Clothes are naturally worn according to the person."

Just then, someone said, "Madam Jiang has arrived."

Jiang Qianhui wore a white strapless dress that accentuated her pure and elegant beauty, but what attracted everyone's attention even more was her mother.

Her mother, Yang Huirong, looked breathtakingly beautiful as she walked in, dressed in a champagne-colored evening gown.

"Madam Zhan, which top luxury brand is that dress from? I've never seen it before. It's so beautiful."

"You're right, this dress is absolutely stunning. The style is reminiscent of the most mysterious designer, Enchantress."

After noticing that everyone's attention was drawn to Xie Qingyi, she glared at Qiao Weiwei and said, "Didn't you say she was wearing the same clothes as me?"

Yang Huirong is not as tall as Xie Qingyi. If they were to wear the same clothes, she would definitely not stand out, but Yang Huirong's dress is the perfect way to accentuate her strengths and minimize her weaknesses.

It accentuated Yang Huirong's features, making her appear even more refined and noble.

Although Yang Huirong's figure wasn't as good as her running ability, her appearance during her middle age was unrelated to her looks; she was definitely one in a hundred.

Yang Huirong was not one to seek the limelight. Seeing all eyes on her and marveling at her, she felt a little uneasy. But Jiang Qianhui held her hand tightly and said, "Mom, don't be afraid. These are all things you deserve."

Yang Huirong was slightly taken aback when she heard him say that.

“Look at the light in my dad’s eyes.”

The person standing at the bottom of the stairs at this moment is Jiang Zhengguo.

He stood at the bottom of the stairs, looking up at the woman who had been with him for most of his life. Although they had argued many times over the years, he had never thought of separating from her.

Yang Huirong and Jiang Qianhui slowly walked down the steps. Jiang Zhengguo reached out and took Yang Huirong's hand in his, gently kissing the back of her hand. He said tenderly, "Happy birthday."

Yang Huirong replied softly, "Thank you!"

"Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang have such a good relationship, it's truly enviable."

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Yang Huirong and Jiang Zhengguo's relationship, not on the brick-sized gemstone necklace Xie Qingyi was wearing. Xie Qingyi was furious, never expecting that her jewelry would become insignificant in the face of their marital relationship, and no one would notice it.

Xie Qingyi was furious. She glared at Yan Lan and said, "You still say she has good taste? How good can the taste of a penniless man be?"

Yan Lan was also completely bewildered. She was the one who asked Qiao Weiwei to help her choose a dress, so how did it become her fault?

Qiao Weiwei was standing behind her, feeling extremely embarrassed. She had already found out that Yang Huirong had ordered a dress from a high-end brand to wear to her birthday party, and she had deliberately recommended the same style to Xie Qingyi. Why did she suddenly change it?

She wanted to create conflict between the two of them, but now her efforts have failed.

Jiang Qianhui stood on the steps, looking at the expressions on the three of their faces, feeling very happy. She thought to herself, "Why did they have to wear the same clothes? They wanted to embarrass her mother in public. In this life, I will protect her mother."

"Mrs. Jiang, you are so lucky. Mr. Jiang cherishes and loves you so much, your daughter is married to Zhan Yanxun, and I heard that Zhan Yanxun even organized your birthday banquet."

"Yes, my son-in-law did this for me. He is very filial to me."

"Madam Jiang, you are truly blessed."

Xie Qingyi said disdainfully, "Their relationship is really good, but even the best relationship can still result in illegitimate children."
