Shi Xiao had walked towards them at some point. Liu Lan silently took a step back and gave up the seat beside Yuan Shu to Shi Xiao.
After Shi Xiao approached, his right arm wrapped around Yuan Shu’s waist, but he maintained a polite social relationship. He didn’t want Yuan Shu to feel offended. This was the most suitable restraint between business partners.
Shi Xiao had his usual smile on his face during social interactions, but his eyes looked very cold. “1 wonder if you have any objections to this gown, Miss Song?”
Song Shi was stumped by Shi Xiao’s question and was at a loss. “How is that possible?”
She had seen this gown in Jiang Chen’s villa.
When she went to look for Jiang Chen, he had just finished sending off a group of people. Before he even rejected Song Shi, she sat down beside him.
His secretary, Zheng Tian, walked in with an exquisitely wrapped gift box. Then, he stopped in front of Jiang Chen and opened the gift box. The gift box was wrapped in a smooth cloth.
There was a card on the fabric, [As promised]. Song Shi saw a name embroidered on the fabric, “Yuan Shu.”
It was obvious that it was a woman’s name, so Song Shi felt a little upset.
Zheng Tian lifted the fabric. When Song Shi saw this very gorgeous gown, she was stunned and couldn’t help but reach out to touch this gown. Just as she was about to touch the gown, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped her. “Stop.”
Song Shi was intimidated by him and retracted her hand obediently, but at the thought of him giving this beautiful dress to another woman, Song Shi was dissatisfied, so she turned to look at Jiang Chen and asked him for it.
“Jiang Chen, can you give me this dress? I really like it!”
Although Jiang Chen was very cold to Song Shi, he would usually satisfy all of Song Shi’s requests. Therefore, Song Shi thought that this gown belonged to her.
Moreover, the workmanship of this gown was exquisite. Even though Song Shi didn’t know much about embroidery, she could tell that from complicated the embroidery on the outer layer of the gown was, it must have taken a long time to make.
Other than her, Song Shi really couldn’t think of any other woman who was worthy of this dress.
Song Shi had already imagined how she would look in this gown. When she appeared at the Liu family’s banquet, she would definitely stun everyone and become the center of attention!
Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen rejected her impatiently. When he spoke, his expression was abnormally cold. “It’s best if you don’t covet things that don’t belong to you.”
Song Shi was frightened by these words and left the Jiang family’s residence in a fit of anger. She hadn’t been there again even until now.
Song Shi thought that Jiang Chen would at least try coaxing her, but after so many days, he hadn’t even sent a single message to Song Shi!
Song Shi was angry and planned to wheedle when she saw him today to vent all the anger she had been holding in for the past few days. In the end, only Xu Zhi came, and even he disappeared after a short while.
Just as Song Shi was feeling depressed and planned to call Jiang Chen, she saw Yuan Shu in this gown.
Song Shi was confident in herself and rarely paid attention to the gossip in the upper-class circle, so she naturally didn’t know who Yuan Shu was, but just by looking at this dress, she knew that “Yuan Shu” was this woman.
She had to admit that this woman’s aura completely suppressed this gorgeous gown. She even gave off a feeling that she was out of their league.
This realization made Song Shi feel indignant and she rushed over to knock Yuan Shu down a peg.
As she walked over, Song Shi thought to herself disdainfully, “Song Shi, oh Song Shi, what are you doing?! Are you really going to let jealousy overcome your rationality?”
However, she was no longer rational at this moment. That was why this happened.
This was why Song Shi was so surprised when Shi Xiao said that he was the one who gave her the clothes..
