Quick Wear: Reversing Life

"Let me introduce you. This is my husband. This is Wang Heng, an actor who just graduated from college."

With so many eyes watching, Liu Xinyan took Cheng Yu's arm with an official and appropriate smile.

Wang Heng was still young and new to society, so he felt a little reserved when facing the chairman of such a large group. He quickly extended his hand. Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Xinyan and gave her a symbolic handshake as a courtesy.

At this time, You Yue came over. Wang Heng seemed to have seen a life-saving straw and hurriedly moved closer to You Yue.

Liu Xinyan pinched Cheng Yu lightly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Why are you so fierce?"

Cheng Yu felt wronged: "Really?"

"Look how scared she is of you." Liu Xinyan smiled and nodded to the ladies while whispering, "She's only in her early twenties. I brought her out to expand her network, and you scared her away."

Cheng Yu glanced at Liu Xinyan: "Aren't you cold?"

After saying that, he pulled his hand out and put it around Liu Xinyan's waist. The suit jacket on his arm was pressed against her exposed skin, and the heat was transmitted from his arm.

“There’s heating.”

At this time, Qi Xian also came over with his wife. Qi Xian's wife saw that Liu Xinyan's face changed slightly and her expression looked a little unhappy, but because of Qi Xian, she raised her glass to the two of them.

"Mrs. Cheng, I haven't seen you for a few years. You look younger and younger."

"Not like President Qi who gets more handsome as he gets older."

Seeing Qi Xian's mouth twitching, Liu Xinyan smiled brightly.

Mrs. Qi hadn't seen Liu Xinyan for a long time. At first glance, she thought she was some female celebrity, but she didn't expect her to be Cheng Yu's wife.

New and old grudges piled up together, and she did not turn her back on him because of her husband's warning. She stood aside, holding her wine and not saying a word.

Liu Xinyan has always been arrogant. She didn't even notice that Madam Qi was next to her, let alone care about her inner thoughts.

-

Chang Ling was sitting in a corner. She came with her parents, who were talking to someone not far away.

She hasn't been back to City S for many years. She has gradually lost contact with her old friends and can't fit in with the current circle of wives.

She took a sip of wine and looked at Cheng Yu and Liu Xinyan not far away, with no expression on her face.

"Hey, isn't this the former number one socialite in S City?"

Suddenly, a sharp female voice came from behind.

Chang Ling turned around and saw two women.

The woman who was speaking was wearing a champagne-colored satin dress. She must have just come out of the bathroom, clutching an unclosed handbag. She was a bit overweight and had heavy makeup on.

"I haven't seen you for over ten years. Why are you hiding in a corner alone?"

Chang Ling frowned. She had no impression of this woman, but she knew the woman next to her, Xue Mingying.

Xue Mingying was wearing a royal blue dress. She glanced at Chang Ling but didn't say hello. Her eyes revealed her disdain for Chang Ling.

Chang Ling and Xue Mingying used to have an average relationship, but it was a relationship where they kept to themselves. However, Xue Mingying didn't necessarily think so. She always regarded Chang Ling as an imaginary enemy and compared herself with her in every way.

The heavily made-up woman said: "Some people are so pitiful. They give up their good marriage partners and run off to marry someone else. And now they come back dejected. The other person has already been married and has children. Look how loving they are now. They are truly a perfect match."

No matter how good Chang Ling's temper is, it is impossible for her to remain calm when hearing others say this.

She frowned: "Madam...I don't think I know you?"

The heavily made-up woman didn't say anything, but Xue Mingying spoke up. She sneered, "I was really stupid before, actually competing with someone like you."

Losing to Chang Ling would be fine, after all, he was close to her. But he didn't expect Chang Ling to be so stupid as to leave Cheng Yu behind and let someone like Liu Xinyan get there first.

Xue Mingying left after saying this. The heavily made-up woman followed Xue Mingying's footsteps, and did not forget to turn around and curl her lips at Chang Ling.

Chang Ling was so angry that her hands on her legs were clenched until they turned white.

Chang Ling in the past would never have imagined that more than a decade later she would end up in this state, in an isolated corner where anyone could ridicule her and step on her.

But she had no way to refute it because what they said was true.

Chang Ling raised her eyelids and looked at the attractive couple not far away.

The man in a suit put his arm around his wife's waist, his hand on her hip. People came and went around them. The man occasionally lowered his head and spoke into the woman's ear, with a strong and intimate posture.

If she had chosen to marry Cheng Yu eighteen years ago, would she be the woman leaning against him now?

Chang Ling never wanted to come between Cheng Yu and Liu Xinyan, but ever since she met them, she could not ignore the sense of disappointment in her heart.

Why on earth did this happen? Why did fate turn out like this?

From the moment she chose to marry Du Mingyu, it seemed like she had made a huge mistake.

...

Chang Ling and Du Mingyu met at a salon. He was handsome and sunny, but unlike Cheng Yu, Du Mingyu was humorous and witty, and was very good at pleasing women.

Under Du Mingyu's strong offensive, she was irresistibly attracted to him, and soon married him despite the dissuasion of Chang's parents.

After the marriage, she soon became pregnant. Du Mingyu's family lived in the south, so she followed Du Mingyu back to the south.

The noble families in the south attach great importance to the family ancestral hall, and the whole family lives together. Chang Ling is not used to this kind of life and wants to move out with Du Mingyu, but Du's parents disagree and want Chang Ling to live at home to take care of the pregnancy.

As a result, while getting along with the whole family, Chang Ling was knocked down the stairs by a cousin's sister-in-law, and the child was lost.

Chang Ling was brought up in a civilized manner and had never suffered such grievances. She wanted to go back to her parents' home, but was coaxed away by Du Mingyu. Du Mingyu was still obedient to Chang Ling at this time and took Chang Ling out of the big family.

After her body recovered, she soon became pregnant again and gave birth to a daughter.

The Chang family has been a single-line family for three generations. In the generation of Chang Ling's parents, there is only one daughter, Chang Ling. Chang Ling hopes that her daughter can have her surname. Du Mingyu also readily agreed and named her Xin'er, which means the sweetheart of the two.

At that time, Chang Ling was overwhelmed and vowed to love Du Mingyu for the rest of his life. Little did he know that Du Mingyu agreed only because Chang Xiner was a girl!

After a few years of indifference, the Du family's parents and elders began to urge Chang Ling to have a second child. Although Chang Ling did not like being urged, she was willing to bear children for Du Mingyu.

I don’t know if it’s because of a miscarriage she had earlier, but Chang Ling has been inactive for a while now. A check-up at the hospital showed everything was normal.

Du's parents began to call Chang Ling back to the old house and forced her to drink various medicines of unknown origin.

Chang Ling and Du Mingyu had many arguments because of this, and Du Mingyu no longer had the patience to coax people like he had in his early years, and began to spend his days drinking and partying and not returning home at night.

When the news reached the ears of Du's parents, they became more and more dissatisfied with Chang Ling. They began to suspect that there was something wrong with Chang Ling's body, and even felt that the Chang family's genes meant that they could only give birth to daughters.

After so many years, the daughter-in-law only gave birth to a daughter, and the Du family began to put pressure on Chang Ling: If you can't give birth to a son, divorce her quickly, and don't occupy the position of Mrs. Du without fulfilling your responsibilities.

Chang Ling, who couldn't give birth to a son, was completely rejected by the Du family. For the sake of her daughter, she endured the divorce and thought that they would live like this forever without getting tired of each other.

Until Du Mingyu brought back a girl who was 12 years younger than Chang Ling. The girl was five months pregnant and the doctor said it was a boy.

This news made Du's parents very happy. After checking and confirming that it was a boy, they let the girl live in the old house to take care of the baby.

The mistress was living in their wedding room openly while pregnant with their illegitimate child. Chang Lingqi wanted to find Du Mingyu to argue with him, but she couldn't even get into the Du family's door.

Chang Ling was unwilling to waste so many years, and ended up getting divorced.

After Chang Xiner finished her high school entrance examination, she took her daughter back to S City.

She didn't dare tell her parents that Du Mingyu had an illegitimate child and was having an affair. Her parents were old, and she couldn't cause them any more trouble.

In fact, even if Chang Ling didn't say it, her mother knew her daughter best. She guessed that there might be problems in her daughter's marriage, but her daughter didn't want to say it, and they didn't want to ask and hurt her feelings again.

They began to use their connections to pave the way for their daughter.

The Chang family and the Cheng family have a good relationship, and Gao Shujun used to treat Chang Ling as half a daughter.

Although her children were no longer able to have children, Chang's mother placed her hopes on her two grandchildren. She said at home more than once that she hoped Cheng Hao and Chang Xiner could get married.

Chang Ling originally had no hope for this. After all, she and Cheng Yu had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, while Cheng Hao and Chang Xin'er had never met before.

But after seeing the two of them at school, she changed her mind. When she returned home, she told her daughter that if she could meet Cheng Hao and marry him in the future, her second half of life would be worry-free.

Right now, Cheng Hao and Chang Xiner are both attending winter camp, and Chang Ling hopes that they can get closer because of this.

Thinking of this, Chang Ling encouraged herself inwardly. She looked up and saw Xue Mingying standing near Liu Xinyan. She stood up, straightened her skirt, picked up her wine glass, and walked towards the two of them.

-

Although Xue Mingying and Liu Xinyan are sworn enemies, in this kind of occasion where everyone wears a mask, the two of them can't help but have seemingly harmonious communication.

Xue Mingying had always been a proud person, and few people caught her eye. She disliked Liu Xinyan even more. She used to say that she looked like a nouveau riche in her finery, but now, seeing her dressed as usual, the disdain in her eyes was palpable.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, your taste remains the same." So vulgar, so vulgar.

Liu Xinyan said with a half-smile: "Yes, unlike you, whose taste changes all the time, sometimes you like little puppies, sometimes you like little wolfdogs."

Xue Mingying's face changed when he heard this, and his expression when he looked at Liu Xinyan also changed.

Rong Zekai was right next to her, and when he heard Liu Xinyan's words, his face darkened for a moment.

Cheng Yu didn't understand and really thought Xue Mingying liked dogs, so he casually said, "Don't we have dogs at home too?"

Xue Mingying and Rong Zekai's faces turned green, and Liu Xinyan smiled and patted Cheng Yu's hand on her.

Cheng Yu didn't understand what she meant, so he put down his hand and started talking to the boss next to him.

Xue Mingying was so angry that her liver was burning with rage, and Cheng Yu happened to be right here.

She caught a glimpse of Chang Ling walking towards them, so she sneered in a voice only audible to the two of them, "Although Chang Ling is stupid, she still has good taste. Although your previous imitation of her style was a bit of a clumsy imitation, it was at least dignified and decent."

Chang Ling moved closer and when she heard these words, her expression changed and she looked at Xue Mingying coldly.

Xue Mingying responded with an insincere smile.

Liu Xinyan didn't think that wearing gold and silver was vulgar at all. She took a step back, glanced up and down at Xue Mingying, and curled her lips.

"I thought you had great taste. The party was all warmly lit, and royal blue really made you look darker. Didn't you notice that?"

If she had to compare taste, she didn't think Xue Mingying had that good taste.

Xue Mingying's face turned purple with anger. How could her skin be dark? It was clearly a healthy wheat color!

"Oh, by the way, your wrinkles are still quite obvious. Don't you usually go to a beauty salon? Or should I recommend one to you?" After Liu Xinyan said this, she bent her upper body and moved very close to Xue Mingying with an innocent expression.

Xue Mingying was almost pissed off. Liu Xinyan, that damned woman, had become much more eloquent after not seeing her for so long.

She looked at Liu Xinyan's face closely. Although she was wearing makeup, she could see that she looked extremely young and firm. She didn't look like a forty-year-old woman at all.

She took a step back jealously, her expression almost out of control. Seeing Chang Ling next to her, she sneered: "Chang Ling, just watch. People who marry well become sharp-tongued."

After a pause, his eyes moved to Liu Xinyan: "Speaking of which, you should thank her."

Liu Xinyan chuckled. "Whether I feel grateful to her or not is another matter. But you're right about one thing: marrying well does make people better. After all, I have a happy marriage and a happy family. My husband hasn't had an affair, and he won't have any illegitimate children to annoy me."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the two women changed.

Xue Mingying stared at Liu Xinyan, almost gritting his teeth: "...What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? That's what I mean." Liu Xinyan spread her hands with an innocent expression. "If I had it, I wouldn't be here. I'd be thinking about how to fight for the family fortune for my son, right?"

Xue Mingying kept her mouth shut. After all, if she said one more word, wouldn't it confirm her situation?

Chang Ling didn't say anything either. Her expression was calm, but she was shocked in her heart.

She wasn't sure whether Liu Xinyan was talking about her or criticizing Xue Mingying.
