Mr. Fu’s Wife Reincarnated

Chapter 33: Banquet

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“This is the first time I’ve seen you. Do you have any thoughts about your image?” Vivian was a famous stylist in the capital. There were many female celebrities who came from afar to look for her for styling.

“The overall image should be clean and tidy. You can do whatever you want with the rest.” Jiang Yi trusted Vivian, probably because they had interacted in her previous life.

Vivian nodded. “Can I change your hair?”

“Sure.” Jiang Yi nodded.

“So it’s up to me? Are you sure?”

“Positive.”

Other girls, be it hair or beauty treatments, were mostly accompanied by their other half but she was accompanied by Fang Chi.

There was still a strong contrast in Jiang Yi’s heart.

“Director, this cheongsam has been there for a long time, but no one has come to take it. Do we need to get rid of it?”

Vivian’s hand that was fiddling with Jiang Yi’s hair paused. When Jiang Yi looked at the cheongsam through the mirror, her entire body trembled.

“Let’s choose green. The lotus flowers are about to bloom in June. There are lotus flowers embroidered on the black silk satin.”

“Choose something tougher.”

“What’s the occasion?”

“Second meeting with the parents.”

“Why is it the second meeting?”

“Because it’s the second time we’re meeting? I want it to be grand, but it can’t be too dazzling.”

…

Various scenes played in her mind.

More than a month ago, she stood here with her hand raised for Vivian to measure her body and she chose a pattern. That was how the current cheongsam came about.

But now… this cheongsam no longer had an owner.

Jiang Yi’s heart ached and she felt empty.

There were no scars on the surface, but in fact, the feeling of being covered in wounds made it difficult for her to breathe.

“Keep it! Someone will pick it up later. Wrap it up and be careful.”

The shop assistant nodded and left with the cheongsam.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yi’s mind was filled with that sentence, “Someone will come to pick it up? Who?”

Who was going to take it?

“How about this length?” Vivian looked at Jiang Yi through the mirror.

Jiang Yi met his gaze and nodded.

“That cheongsam just now was very beautiful.”

Vivian was silent for a while, her eyes filled with pain. “Its owner is more beautiful.”

Their conversation came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Yi did not say anything else.

At 5:30 p.m., her straight hair had turned into long wavy hair. The sweat on her face made her face look even better.

“If you look closely, Miss Jiang’s facial features are gorgeous. Your facial features should be the kind of beauty that is popular nowadays. You look very similar to the Hong Kong stars. If you put on some makeup, you will be very beautiful. Let’s go choose your clothes first.”

When Jiang Yi followed Vivian out from behind, Fang Chi did not recognize her at first glance.

It was only when Jiang Yi went to the second floor that he realized that it was Jiang Yi.

“What kind of clothes do you usually like?”

“There’s nothing I particularly like. Choose something for me.”

Vivian looked around and said, “This one! It’s a silk strap dress. Only people with a strong face, flat chest, and good figure can wear it.”

Jiang Yien hummed in acknowledgment.

At 5:40 pm, Jiang Yi sat in front of the mirror.

The shop assistant at the door came over. “Director, a gentleman is here.”

“Let him in.”

Vivian told Jiang Yi and went to the door.

“He’s here?”

“Yeah.”

Vivian sighed. “It’s already wrapped. I’ll get someone to bring it to you.”

Jiang Yi sat on the chair with her back facing the two of them, feeling her entire body stiffen.

Just one word from the man was enough to make her tremble.

“Thanks a lot.”

“Are you—all right?”

“Not bad.”

Vivian wanted to care about the man in front of her, but this person’s indifferent expression and expression gave people the feeling that he was a thousand miles away.

Jiang Yi looked at him through the mirror.

The man seemed to sense her gaze and looked sideways to meet it.

He nodded lightly.

At this moment, Jiang Yi almost fled.

She stared into his eyes and almost burst into tears.

However, she managed to hold it in.

“Sir, your clothes.”

Jiang Yi took a deep breath when the man looked away.

When she turned around, the man had already left the shop.

He took away the green hand-embroidered cheongsam.

How should Jiang Yi describe her current mood?

What she did not know was that there were thousands of words that could not describe her emotions. It was a feeling that was so sorrowful that it was almost indescribable.

There were thousands of sorrows in the world, and silence was the saddest.

How could she appear in front of everyone so easily before finding out the truth?

Six o’clock sharp.

Fu Xiting appeared at the entrance of the studio, and Vivian’s makeup brush had just stopped moving.

She had a low bun, bright red makeup, and a dark green silk V-neck dress. She didn’t even wear a bra.

Dressed like this, she looked like a mature woman with a flirtatious charm.

At first glance, Fu Xiting was shocked.

All these years, even if he hadn’t seen countless women, he had probably seen more than a thousand!

When the businessmen in the capital needed his help, what kind of peerless beauty had he not given them?

Unrestrained, small, exquisite, and quiet—there were all kinds of them.

But those women were all uninteresting.

Jiang Yi’s faint immaturity was mixed with maturity that shouldn’t belong to someone her age.

It made one want to pry open her to investigate her true personality.

Before seeing Jiang Yi, Fu Xiting knew that her looks were not bad.

No matter how bad the children of the school belle and the school hunk were, they could still rely on their looks to survive.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan was her biological brother.

Fu Xiting retracted the shock and surprise in his eyes.

“Doesn’t a student who hasn’t graduated look too mature?”

Vivian was tidying up Jiang Yi’s skirt when she heard Fu Xiting’s words. She couldn’t help but say, “You’re already married. Do you still care about being immature?”

Jiang Yi couldn’t help but laugh.

…

“Tonight’s charity banquet is organized by the political world. The entire event will start with an auction. The second round is the cocktail party. I need Miss Jiang to help me bid for something.”

As Fu Xiting spoke, he handed her the information in his hand.

Jiang Yi flipped through it. When she saw the emerald on it, she was stunned. This was…

“This emerald was taken out by the head of the translation department, Lin Qinghe, to collect donations. I need you to help me bid for it.”

“May I ask why?”

Jiang Yi was curious.

Fu Xiting smiled faintly. “Didn’t Miss Jiang ask so tactfully because she knew that I wouldn’t tell you?”

Jiang Yi was speechless.

Well, people like Fu Xiting did not have absolute principles.

He needed a fiancée with no official status, to come forward and bid for it. This proved that this thing could not pass through his hands. Or rather, it was not appropriate for him to appear.

She had become his pawn.

How pathetic!

“What’s the price?” Jiang Yi asked.

“It doesn’t matter. If I want it, I don’t care about money.”

Fu Xiting was a business tycoon. His empire was built on money. It seemed normal for him to say this.

Jiang Yi closed the folder in her hand and looked at Fu Xiting. “If I help you, is there any benefit for me?”
