I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 233 – Weiyin, I heard bad rumors about the Shen’s recently. Do you know about them? (3)

Madam Zhou swept her gaze over them and hid her worried frown. Calm and composed, she smiled and said, “Thank you for coming. If you need anything, feel free to mention it to me.”

“Not at all. Mayor Zhou is hosting such a grand birthday party for you. I’m so envious of you, Madam Zhou.”

Madam Zhou pleasantly smiled. Her glance landed on Ye Qing. “Mrs. Lu, you...”

She momentarily mistook Ye Qing for Ye Zhen, but corrected herself when she saw Ye Qing’s clothing. “You’re Mrs. Lu’s twin sister, right?”

Ye Qing slightly smiled and nodded. “Yes Madam Zhou, I’m Ye Qing. Thank you very much for your hospitality tonight. This is the best birthday party I’ve ever attended.”

“As long as you have a good time.”

Madam Zhou saw that Ye Zhen was standing alone after parting formLu Beichuan and waved her over.

Ye Zhen had immediately caught sight of Shen Weiyin and Ye Qing in the cluster of people. They were especially eye-catching.

On the other people’s faces, there were awkward smiles and derision in their eyes. They didn’t look friendly at all about her coming over.

She had always abided by the golden rule. Unless it was necessary, she wouldn’t deliberately make new enemies. One less enemy meant one more friend. However, reality showed that there were people determined to act hostile towards you for no good reason.

Ye Zhen held her wine glass and slowly walked over.

“Madam Zhou, do you want to see me for something?”

Madam Zhou had very little contact with the younger generation and didn’t know about the drama and enmity between them. She had gestured Ye Zhen over because she saw her standing alone by the long wine table and wanted her to come over and have people to chat with. Moreover, Ye Zhen’s older sister was here, which was even better.

“It’s nothing. I just thought you were bored standing there alone. Let me introduce a few people to you. This is Weiyin. You probably already know her.”

Ye Zhen smiled. “I know her. Miss Shen attended my son’s first lunar month birthday celebration.” She looked over Shen Weiyin. “Miss Shen is wearing such a pretty dress today.”

At the mention of dresses, Shen Weiyin instinctively thought of the dress that Ye Zhen had ruined with a pair of scissors when she visited the Lu’s villa last time. Her face paled.

“Hi Mrs. Lu, I’m Chen Ling. I came back this year after studying abroad at the University of Melbourne. My major was economics, my hobby is playing golf, my violin skills are at level 8, and I like traveling and desserts.”

After saying that, Chen Ling pointed at a young woman next to her. Smiling, she said, “This is my good friend, Gao Ya. She studied at Stanford, majoring in finance. She likes folk dancing. Mrs. Lu, where did you go to college? What did you major in? What are your interests?”

After such a self-introduction, Ye Zhen was sure that Chen Ling was trying to give her a hard time.

The novel’s Ye Zhen was withdrawn and her grades were average. She attended a second tier domestic college and didn’t have any hobbies that she was good at, much less a professional major. In front of these people who had excelled in school and studied abroad, the novel’s Ye Zhen had done nothing worth mentioning.

Ye Qing silently stood there with no intention of helping Ye Zhen.

As Ye Zhen’s older sister, she naturally knew that with Ye Zhen’s level of achievement, she had nothing presentable to show in front of these people. Unlike her younger sister, she had attended a top-ranking college in China and was proficient in dance and piano. No matter what, she wouldn’t be the one embarrassed today. The embarrassing one was her younger sister, not her. So, Ye Zhen’s being put on the spot had nothing to do with her.

Ye Zhen slightly smiled. She didn’t feel embarrassed or inferior. Instead, she calmly and elegantly introduced herself, “Hi everyone, I’m Ye Zhen. I graduated from Haibin’s Institute of Technology. I don’t have any special hobbies. I read books and newspapers in my free time.”
