As planned by Su Xiaoqing, the dressed-up Lin Qianyi instantly attracted the attention of countless people.
Especially men.
On the stage, Xia Baizhi had wanted to put on a lovey-dovey act with Jiang Yijie.
But everyone's attention had shifted toward Lin Qianyi. Xia Baizhi seethed with hatred.
Her face turned even grimmer when she realized that Jiang Yijie was also staring at Lin Qianyi.
The two of them hastily ended their speech and descended the stage.
"Ah Jie, don't forget that you chose me!"
Xia Baizhi growled angrily at him the moment they left the stage.
Jiang Yijie was helping her down the stage when his expression froze at her statement. But he quickly recomposed himself.
"Baizhi, you're the one I love. I have never loved Qianyi. I have always treated her only as a little sister. Don't think too much."
He smiled warmly as he gently coaxed her.
But his eyes glinted as he spoke. He was clearly not sincere in his speech.
Nevertheless, Xia Baizhi's anger subsided a little at his coaxing.
Regardless, she would never let Lin Qianyi continue to pose a threat!
Whether in relationships or their careers!
She would completely bury her!
That notion intensified especially after she saw how lovely Lin Qianyi looked tonight.
All sorts of thoughts raced through Xia Baizhi's mind, but her face soon relaxed. She smiled demurely and blissfully as she accepted the congratulations of the crowd.
While entertaining her guests, Xia Baizhi exchanged a subtle glance with a girl dressed in a pale yellow gown.
It was just one glance, but the two of them understood each other perfectly.
After receiving Xia Baizhi's signal, the girl immediately pulled her companion along to go seek out their target.
"Oh… a certain someone is really shameless. She was dumped but still dared to attend her ex-boyfriend's engagement party. That's really… tsk tsk."
Lin Qianyi was selecting her food from the buffet table when she heard the mocking words of the girl behind her. She paused for a moment before returning her attention to the food.
Upon seeing her lack of reaction, another girl standing beside the first also spoke up.
"Sisi, don't you know that some people never give up? They pray for the other party to have a change of heart."
The girl's expression was disgusted as she spoke those venomous words.
"She should take a good look at her own status. How can she ever hope to compete with Sister Baizhi? Tsk tsk. One is a country bumpkin while the other is an elegant princess. Anyone would know which to choose."
The girl in pale yellow gave a scornful smirk at her friend's comments.
She added, "Some people really don't realize just how low-class they are!"
A mocking smile played upon Lin Qianyi's lips as she heard their little banter.
After selecting her food, she turned to look at them.
The two girls were extremely self-satisfied upon seeing that. They stare imperiously at Lin Qianyi, waiting for her counter.
But Lin Qianyi just grinned at them and asked, "You two have talked so much, your throats must be parched. There are some pretty tasty drinks over there."
The girls' faces stiffened and their eyes widened in disbelief as they stared at Lin Qianyi as if she was an alien from outer space.
