《Remember Self-Control: Bossy Husband Loves Me Deep to Soul》C36. Unforeseen Events at the Banquet (2)

“Look what the cat dragged in! I couldn’t even recognize your plastic face if it weren’t for your rare stink and nonsense, prestigious Miss. Han Jingjing!”
Without looking up, Xiaoyu accentuated the syllables of the word “Miss” to scorn her.
“Someone is so different now since she got a patron. Should an insignificant assistant be so presumptuous? I wonder why Feng Qi takes a fancy to you!”
Han Jingjing stamped her feet with anger.
“Don’t bother. Please feel free to find yourself a man who will still have the courage to kiss you at the sight of your glittering face in the dark.”
It seemed that Xiaoyu never stopped impressing people. She was so eloquent. Why haven’t anyone noticed such a gift of her before?
“How dare you!”
Han Jingjing lost her head for anger. Then she turned to Si Wan who was looking on with folded arms.
Han Jingjing immediately vented her anger on Si Wan. She had never set herself against Xiaoyu before, but she knew everything about Si Wan. Gong Siming lorded it over her because she was too cowardly.
“But I’m still better than someone whose husband made out with another woman in her presence.”
Han Jingjing’s smile looked creepy. Her face was like two chunks of meat piecing together with human skin on top. In any case, her expression was not like that of a living one.
She remembered the scene when Gong Siming was together with Han Jingjing. Who knew what response he would make if he saw Han Jingjing’s face right now?
As a picky man, Gong Siming hated himself so much to have chosen Han Jingjing.
She couldn’t restrain her desire to look on and secretly wished Gong Siming was here.
With a complacent look on his face, Han Jingjing saw Si Wan hanging her head in contemplation. She thought Si Wan was too scared and ashamed to face her, so she raised her head and her nose was in the air.

Speak of the devil.
A familiar figure appeared on the big screen at the venue, and the heart of every woman on the spot skipped a beat.
His glamorous smile, grim countenance, and especially his deep and attractive voice were so fascinating. How could there be such a perfect man? Some women couldn’t help screaming.
“Good evening, everyone. I apologize for my absence due to my packed schedule, but as the host, I’ll ensure that all of you can get the most attentive service.”
Gong Siming habitually adjusted his neckline, which was an invisible temptation to everyone.
“I want to thank my mother and my wife, who is here on my behalf despite their busy schedules.”
This was the first time that Gong Siming had acknowledged her as his wife in public.
She felt like crying but forced herself to suppress her emotions. Why? She was about to get used to her life without him. She was leaving, but he kept on breaking into her life.
The man talked a link of conventional phrases.
Gong Siming concluded his speech by saying goodbye to everyone, and Si Wan restored her calmness.
But Gong Siming suddenly added.
“My wife can’t drink, so please only serve her water or juice, thank you for your cooperation!”
Although Gong Siming remained emotionless, his words were enough to shock everyone familiar with him and send the banquet to a climax. People couldn’t help fixing their eyes on Si Wan.
A smile of happiness lingered on Si Wan’s face while her eyes reddened. In others’ minds, she must have been so touched that she was also reduced to tears.
“Okay, I get it.” They were showing their affection despite the distance. Even Yan Xiuya was surprised by such a change of her son.
Someone took the lead, and there came a round of rapturous applause. As the video call was over, people resumed their separate associations.

Si Wan walked to Han Jingjing, who had a twisted face.
“This is the gap between you and me.”
Si Wan’s words were bland but extremely biting due to her innate noble temperament.
Xiaoyu finished her sentence with a stroke of genius.
“People need to vent their primitive impulses, otherwise, inflatable dolls will be out of business. What do you think, Miss. Han Jingjing?”
The two women blended in the crowd. Han Jingjing was left there, simmering with rage.
“I thought Si Wan’s temper had been worn away by Gong Siming. But after all, she is from the Si’s Family, how would she be inferior to others?”
The man was gracefully swirling the goblet in his hand. A smile appeared on his clean and pedantic face.
“That woman thought a push-over of her, but she is actually a wild cat that scratches.”
Leaning against the window, Fu Gongyan showed a hippie smile.
“What do you think will happen if I inebriate her?”
He asked Zhang Qilin who was next to him with excitement.
“Junior master Fu, you’d better not pester her. If junior master Gong knows, he will give you a hard time.”
Zhuo Ni watched the suicidal Fu Gongyan from aside and pleaded with tactful words.
“Before Gong Siming makes his move, you’ll know even a push-over can bounce back.”
The three men looked, smiled and nodded at each other.
Uncomfortable with such noisy environment, Si Wan excused herself and went to the rooftop alone.
Now she was standing on the rooftop of the Imperial Capital International Mansion, the highest building in the entire city.
From the commanding height, she saw incessant streams of people. They were like ground ants carrying their food for the coming winter. They were striving for better lives.
Was this the happiness of the powerful?
They overlooked nonentities like gods and mocked them for their busy lives. Some of them couldn’t enjoy such a view across their lives.
In your eyes, was I just an ant you could trample on at will? Gong Siming, for whom you did all these?
Did you know that you were the bright moon surrounded by stars? You were the emissary of darkness, yet you emitted dazzling light. How much I wished I could become the nearest star around you!
Even if you couldn’t see me, I would still thankful if I could see you.
But now, I found I couldn’t do it. Gong Siming, love was about completely trusting each other with their hearts.
Her lonely figure was shivering in the darkness.
“Ho, what a coincidence, you are here too!”
The man was accosting her like what a dandy did to a little girl next door.
The man just wouldn’t stop haunting her. Didn’t he know how much trouble he had stirred up?
Getting no response from Si Wan, Feng Qi shamelessly approached and sat next to her.
“You see, Gong doesn’t treat you well, why don’t you dump him and be with me. I’m way more attractive than him, and you know that!”
“Get lost if you don’t know how to keep your mouth shut!”
She reproached Feng Qi coldly.
