Chapter 154: Chapter 154 Birthday Banquet (2)

"You! Still the same as ever." Qin Huiyi understood Mi Jing quite well. Back then, everyone was almost breaking their heads for a chance to go abroad, but she was different. She had the chance to go abroad for further studies but voluntarily gave up the spot, saying she didn’t want to leave home and her parents. The professor tried repeatedly to talk her out of it but couldn’t convince her, leaving many people feeling sorry for her.

But Mi Jing was like that—if she didn’t like something, she wouldn’t care about it, no matter how much others worried for her. She would never change her mind, even if she knew the road ahead was a bright one. If she didn’t like it, she wouldn’t take a step forward, living entirely by her own will. To Qin Huiyi, Mi Jing had quite a personality, but to some, she was just a fool!

The two hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so they had plenty to talk about. As they walked and chatted, they saw Li Jia coming towards them, and they both chose to ignore her.

Qin Huiyi hadn’t witnessed the events between Mi Jing, Han Xiujie, and Li Jia firsthand, but she had heard about them. Originally, she had no fondness for Li Jia, this spoiled rich second-generation, and after she knew Li Jia had interfered in Mi Jing’s relationship, she disliked her even more.

Having been in society for a while, Qin Huiyi was very tactful in dealing with people and had built up a decent network by not offending anyone. But when it came to Li Jia, she didn’t want to force herself into polite small talk, especially with Mi Jing present. She certainly wouldn’t take the initiative to greet Li Jia.

Some people just loved being flattered by everyone, and when ignored, they felt uncomfortable and assumed others intentionally embarrassed them. Li Jia was precisely such a person.

Today, she wore a light blue, low-cut dress with a black jacket draped over her shoulders and a necklace around her neck. The pendant was long and fell between her cleavage. Whether it was sexy or gaudy depended on one’s view, but Qin Huiyi and Mi Jing felt nothing positive about her or her fashion taste.

"Senior Huiyi," Li Jia brushed her long hair to one side, letting it fall over one shoulder, displaying a smile with red lips and lipstick-stained teeth, which didn’t seem sexy or beautiful but rather gave off a grotesque impression.

Seeing this, Mi Jing kept a blank face, remaining silent as Qin Huiyi stopped walking.

"Junior Li Jia, your outfit today really shows off your figure," said Qin Huiyi, smiling reluctantly as Li Jia greeted her first.

"I designed this dress myself. If you like it, Senior, I can design one for you too," Li Jia said haughtily, thinking Qin Huiyi was complimenting her, a hint of boastfulness in her tone.

"No need. Your designs are too unique for me. I don’t have the figure to do them justice." Given Li Jia’s taste, Qin Huiyi wouldn’t want a whole truckload of her clothes. Qin Huiyi, tall and inclined to unisex styles, particularly disliked clothes that reduced fabric just to show skin, finding them neither aesthetic nor tasteful.

However, to Qin Huiyi, Li Jia’s cleavage was overly exaggerated. Anyone with some sense of aesthetics could see through it, making Li Jia look like a joke.

Oh my goodness! This woman is tarnishing her own family’s brand? Considering her family runs a clothing business, this outfit really is an eyesore. Qin Huiyi kept this thought to herself.

"That’s no problem. Though the dress demands the right wearer, I can custom make one for you," Li Jia offered, a move driven by her wish to gain some free advertising from someone relatively well-known in the art world like Qin Huiyi. However, her conceited nature and discomfort with praising others made her words sound very irritating to Qin Huiyi.

She knew she didn’t have a perfect figure but was decent enough. Who was Li Jia to make remarks like "the clothes choose the person"!

"No, thanks. I don’t want to bother you, especially since we barely know each other!" Qin Huiyi’s smile was forced, but her displeasure was clear.

Hearing this, Mi Jing burst into laughter, thinking how even the tolerant senior Qin Huiyi couldn’t help making such remarks, showing just how annoying Li Jia could be.

Seeing Mi Jing laugh, Li Jia’s gloomy face turned even darker. Furious, she shouted at Mi Jing, "What’s so funny? What’s there to laugh at?"

"I laugh when I want to. Who are you to control me!" Mi Jing sneered coldly, adding, "Besides, Senior’s figure is much better than yours. It’s not that the clothes choose her, but she chooses the clothes. Your third-rate designs, only someone like you would want to wear them."

"Mi Jing, what right do you have to criticize me!" Li Jia fumed but kept her voice down, knowing this wasn’t the place for a scene. She stared angrily but quietly at Mi Jing, suppressing her rage.

"Isn’t your self-awareness a bit much? I’m not interested in anything about you, just find it funny when a proud peacock can’t recognize reality." With that, Mi Jing turned to Qin Huiyi, saying, "Senior, let’s go inside." freewebnoveℓ.com

Together, they walked forward, leaving the trembling-with-anger Li Jia behind. Neither had the courtesy to remind her of the lipstick on her teeth.

"Jiajia, it’s cold outside, come inside," Li Zhongren came out and saw Li Jia standing at the door with a sullen face. He advised her.

Today was Professor Yang’s birthday banquet, and most of the guests were prominent figures. So, special attention had to be paid to one’s behaviour to avoid being laughed at or disgraced.

"Uncle, you go in first. I’ll stay out for some fresh air and come in shortly." Li Jia forced a stiff smile.

"Alright, just stay here and don’t wander off!" Knowing her spoiled nature, Li Zhongren cautioned before turning to go inside.

After Li Zhongren left, Li Jia glanced at the red Ferrari among the parked cars, sneering internally. Someone like Mi Jing could marry a rich man? Hmph, probably an old man with one foot in the grave!

"Old Huang!"

Li Jia walked to her car, calling out to her waiting driver.

"Miss, what can I do for you?" the driver asked.

Li Jia didn’t answer immediately but scanned the area before giving the driver an instruction in a low voice.

"But... Miss, this doesn’t seem right," the driver hesitated.

"Just do it, and stop nagging!" Li Jia snapped, adding, "Be careful not to get caught!"
