Hong Kong Nights of Passion

Chapter 99 Using a man's money to show off is quite novel.
When Fu Yiyi and Wen Jinnian turned around, they saw Zhou Shiyi wearing a loose dress, and the woman next to her wearing high heels and a Chanel haute couture suit that accentuated her beautiful figure.

It was she who spoke.

Zhou Shiyi introduced with a smile: "Niannian, this is Miss Qin Xianglian."

"Pfft!" Fu Yiyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Qin Xianglian? Then is your boyfriend named Chen Shimei?"

The woman's face instantly darkened.

Zhou Shiyi quickly stepped forward: "Xianglian, don't bother with them..."

Qin Xianglian sized up Wen Jinnian, her gaze suddenly turning cold as she locked onto her face: "You're that adopted daughter of the Jiang family? All you have is a pretty face, yet you go around seducing people..."

"Miss Qin, who did I seduce?"

Wen Jinnian interrupted with a faint smile.

Fu Yiyi leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "The Qin family, her father seems to work under my uncle."

Wen Jinnian's eyes flickered slightly; it turned out to be another second-generation official who depended on others for his favor.

Qin Xianglian approached in her high heels, tapping her fingertips on a pair of cufflinks in the display case: "I'll take these."

The waiter looked embarrassed: "This is the only one left. This young lady saw it first..."

Fu Yiyi slowly took out a black gold card and handed it to the stage without even raising her eyes: "Wrap it up."

Wen Jinnian took out a card and handed it over, saying, "Use mine."

"Using a man's money to show off is quite novel."

Qin Xianglian tapped her scarlet nail polished fingertips on the counter, making a soft, tinkling sound. "Miss Wen is so beautiful, it's a real shame she doesn't snag a rich second-generation heir."

This person is so hostile towards her; Zhou Shiyi must be gossiping about her behind her back.

Wen Jinian turned to face her, a smile still playing on her lips. "I have a job and can support myself. Even if I use a man's money, it's my own ability. But Miss Qin..."

She glanced at the logo on the other person's Chanel suit. "Making veiled accusations on our first meeting? Am I blocking your 'rich kid' path? Or is it..."

She took a half step closer and lowered her voice, "You don't even have the right to be 'supported by a man'?"

Qin Xianglian's expression changed drastically. "Not everyone is good enough for me."

She glanced at the cufflinks on the counter, a thought struck her, and she turned to Zhou Shiyi, "You know, who knows which sister she's giving these cufflinks to your fiancé as a gift! Aren't you angry?"

Fu Yiyi immediately lost her temper. So this was another attack on Niannian?
Her daughter Niannian wouldn't even look at that scumbag!
Just as Fu Yiyi was about to speak, Wen Jinian stopped her.

Her gaze swept over Zhou Shiyi's slightly protruding belly, and she suddenly called out "Sister-in-law" in a slightly ambiguous tone: "Don't misunderstand, these cufflinks really weren't bought for my brother."

"I think my brother might like the things my sister-in-law buys even more!"

Wen Jinnian added another sentence.

It was like finishing off a knife, piercing Zhou Shiyi's heart.

Zhou Shiyi's knuckles turned white as she gripped the purse, her nails almost digging into her palms.

He never wore the gifts he received from Jiang Shu.

In what way is Wen Jin Nian better than me?
Her sinister gaze pierced Wen Jinian, but the other woman was completely oblivious, instead smiling and saying, "Miss Qin, sister-in-law, I'm just an ordinary person with average taste."

My sister-in-law wants to give my brother a gift; it has to be at least tens of millions to be befit his status.

Her gaze fell on Qin Xianglian, filled with admiration. "Miss Qin has such an elegant demeanor, the gift she chooses for her sweetheart must be top-notch to be worthy of him, right?"

"Sharp-tongued." Qin Xianglian sneered, her chin held high, her eyes full of contempt.

Wen Jinian was too lazy to argue. Seeing that the two didn't respond, she simply took out her card and handed it to the waiter.

After swiping her card, she pointed to a tie clip engraved with the letter "C" in the display case and paid an extra 10,000 yuan.

After packing the gift boxes, Wen Jinnian grabbed Fu Yiyi and was about to leave, but Zhou Shiyi blocked her way.

"Niannian, who should we give this gift to?"

Zhou Shiyi stared at the gift box, her tone bitter and sour.

"What does it matter to my sister-in-law who I give a gift to?"

Wen Jinnian retorted. This left Zhou Shiyi speechless, her face alternating between pale and flushed.

She stared intently at the gift box in Wen Jinian's hand, her jealousy almost overflowing from her eyes.

Suddenly, she grabbed Wen Jinnian's wrist tightly, her nails digging deep into her flesh: "I know you're prejudiced against me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly glanced at the security camera in the corner, her body went limp, and she screamed as she collapsed to the ground...

Wen Jinnian: "..."

Here you go again?

Wen Jinian stood still, and Fu Yiyi stood still.

Qin Xianglian rushed over to help Zhou Shiyi up, her gaze falling on the hem of her skirt, where she noticed blood seeping from the inside of her calf: "She's bleeding! Someone come quick!"

The waiter's face changed drastically, and he frantically rummaged through the first-aid kit: "Call 999 quickly!"

Wen Jinian stared at Zhou Shiyi, but before she could speak, the other party spoke first.

Tears streamed down her face. "Niannian, this child is also your brother's bloodline, why..."

"I didn't touch you!" Wen Jinian said indifferently.

"Stop arguing!" Qin Xianglian took out her phone from Zhou Shiyi's bag and pressed her finger to unlock it. "We have to call Young Master Jiang over!"

Fu Yiyi sneered as she stood in front of Wen Jinnian, "What a nice self-inflicted injury charade, but unfortunately the security cameras are all recording it."

Zhou Shiyi curled up on the ground, her head slightly lowered, a barely perceptible curve appearing on her face.

This angle is a blind spot for surveillance cameras; let's see how Wen Jinian escapes.

Because Zhou Shiyi suddenly started bleeding, Wen Jinian and Fu Yiyi had no choice but to go to the hospital together.

Fu Yiyi secretly turned her back and quickly typed on her phone: "Niannian has been scammed by Zhou Shiyi, come to the hospital immediately!"

At the same time, in Chi Yige's private office, he was having a video conference with his overseas team.

Data and charts on the screen switched rapidly. Suddenly, his phone beeped softly. His gaze swept over the brief text, and his face darkened.

"The meeting is now adjourned. Please send any follow-up matters to my email."

Chi Yige finished explaining the work in just two minutes.

Upon seeing this, Li Mingyi immediately grabbed the car keys, and the two hurriedly walked towards the door.

Duan Jiayan strode forward, "What happened?"

Chi Yige continued walking, uttering a brief two-word phrase: "Hospital."

He turned to look at Li Mingyi, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Cancel all subsequent schedules."

Duan Jiayan and Li Mingyi exchanged a glance, both of them were taken aback, and then nodded in agreement.

Chi Yige strode towards the elevator with his long legs, and Li Mingyi hurriedly stepped forward and pressed the down button.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Chi Yige's knuckles unconsciously tapped the seam of his trousers, his eyes swirling with an undercurrent of emotions that no one else could understand.

Half an hour later, Jiang Xiao looked at Wen Jinnian and snorted coldly, "How is she?"

Jiang Shu followed closely behind, his gaze falling on Wen Jinnian's face, and he softened his tone: "Niannian, are you alright?"

Wen Jinian shook her head, just uttering, "My sister-in-law..."

It was cut off. "Don't worry, I'll find out the truth and won't let her hurt you again."

Fu Yi leaned against the wall and sneered, "This time he's actually using his brain."

The emergency room's red light went out, and the doctor removed his mask: "Who are the family members?"

"The baby couldn't be saved." Jiang Xiao staggered and leaned against the wall, murmuring softly, "My grandson is gone."

Jiang Shu clenched her fists, her nails almost digging into her palms: "Go get a DNA test done."

The doctor stared in shock, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces.

Jiang Shu's voice rang out again, carrying an undeniable ruthlessness: "Go now!"
