She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.
Chapter 42 Love rivals are extremely jealous when they meet each other
The men exchanged pleasantries and greetings, while the women smiled and nodded in acknowledgment behind them.
When Shen Qingge saw Su Maiqi and Gu Tingyu standing together, she felt as if a rope was pulling at her heart, causing her pain to throb.
The man she'd wanted to marry since she was a child. Her childhood sweetheart.
For her sake, she worked hard to get into the same middle school and university as him, and in addition to English, she also took Spanish and German as electives, just like him.
She worked so hard just to stand by his side.
But he never saw himself, and in the end he married a woman who was inferior to him in every way.
Shen Qingge had, of course, investigated Su Maiqi. Her parents were both from an orphanage, her father had died early, and her mother ran a tailor shop; she was obviously not very worldly.
After graduating, she worked at Chenxing and even got promoted to design department manager after marrying Gu Tingyu.
Shen Qingge simply thought Gu Tingyu had lost his mind, or that this woman possessed some kind of sorcery that had bewitched him. He was actually joking about the future of his own company.
Shen Qingge was waiting to see Su Maiqi make a fool of herself. She would let her true colors be revealed sooner or later, and the fool would be exposed.
She was confident in today's situation; whether it was her Spanish or her insights on jewelry, she believed she could outshine Su Maqi.
It wasn't originally her turn to come today. She guessed Su Maiqi was coming, and her mother happened to have a fever and wasn't feeling well. She persuaded her father to let her and her brother come instead.
Firstly, it reinforces the image of the father as a loving husband, and secondly, it allows Mario and his wife to experience the excellence of their two children.
She tried to appear calm and greeted Sumaiqi and the other two wives equally.
A short while later, a luxury car drove up.
A blond, blue-eyed middle-aged man got out of the car, followed by a woman in a red down jacket. Su Maiqi was immediately drawn to the jacket.
The color scheme of the clothes is very bold. The long, ankle-length Chinese red down jacket has a phoenix embroidered in gold thread on the back, while the sleeves are embroidered with golden cloud patterns. When the arms move, it feels like a phoenix is flying.
Pei Rong is very tall and walks with a brisk and energetic gait, with a very bright and cheerful appearance.
Shen Qingge stepped forward first and said in fluent Spanish, "Hello, Mr. Mario, I am Shen Zejun's daughter, Shen Qingge. My father was supposed to come, but my mother suddenly fell ill and he stayed home to take care of her. So my brother and I can welcome you and your wife on his behalf."
Mr. Mario received a call from Shen Tianyu in advance. Knowing the situation, he didn't mind and inquired about Mrs. Shen's condition with concern, saying, "At this time, of course, the wife is more important; no one's care can compare to the husband's companionship."
I've heard that Mr. and Mrs. Shen have always been a loving and devoted couple; no wonder they raised such outstanding siblings as you two.
Shen Qingge quickly chimed in, "My father has always regarded Mr. Mario as his idol, saying that you are not only first-rate in managing jewelry, but also in managing your family; he taught us to take you and your husband as role models in managing our lives."
Mr. Mario glanced at Shen Qingge, but unconsciously frowned. This girl was very beautiful and had good taste; she had chosen a dark red cheongsam, which suited her temperament very well.
But she deliberately wore a fur coat over her cheongsam. It looked quite expensive, with superior color and texture.
Mario and his wife are both environmentalists. Although they love beauty and are very particular, they ultimately cannot accept using animal fur for clothing.
But out of politeness, he said, "I just did what I was supposed to do."
Su Maiqi also approached, arm in arm with Gu Tingyu. Gu Tingyu chatted with Mario in fluent Spanish, while Su Maiqi looked at him with admiration.
Shen Qingge mentally made a disdainful face. So naive! What rich young master doesn't know a few languages?
Pei Rong looked at Su Maiqi and laughed first: "It seems you're just as afraid of the cold as I am."
Both of their down jackets were in a modern Chinese style, somewhat similar in design, which Pei-Rong found quite interesting.
She rubbed her hands together and said, "The winters here are really cold."
Seeing that Pei Rong spoke fluent Chinese, Su Maiqi replied in Chinese as well: "Yes, it's the coldest time of the year, but not the coldest time of the year."
"Walking on ice during the coldest days of winter..."
Everyone was surprised that Ms. Pei Rong knew this, and they all stepped forward to compliment her: "We never expected that you, Madam, would be so knowledgeable about Chinese culture."
Pei Rong was suddenly drawn to a small red trinket on a nearby stall. She couldn't resist walking over, picking it up, and asking the stall owner, "What is this?"
Several ladies followed, and Shen Qingge spoke first in fluent Spanish: "Madam, this is a blessed amulet consecrated by a high monk, which can protect the owner and bring peace and good fortune."
"Then I'll buy a few and take them back with me."
“Madam, we say ‘asking for good fortune’ here. When we offer incense at temples, we say ‘asking for incense,’ not ‘buying.’”
"Okay, okay, then I'll take a few lucky charms home."
Although both her parents are of Chinese descent, Pei Rong was born and raised in Spain. She learned about many Chinese traditions from her grandmother.
Pei-Rong was very happy to be able to experience traditional Chinese culture up close this time.
Although she felt somewhat uncomfortable because of the fur coat Shen Qingge was wearing, the girl's bright and enthusiastic personality and respect for traditional culture earned her many points.
The other two wives couldn't hear what Shen Qingge said, but seeing Pei Rong beam with joy and treat her much better after hearing it, they secretly regretted that they hadn't thought about learning a couple of foreign languages besides shopping and playing cards.
In crucial moments, she can also give her husband face.
It's not too late for my own child; I'll raise him according to Shen Qingge's standards. I'll hire a foreign teacher as soon as I get back.
Shen Qingge was also quite pleased with herself. Standing next to Pei Rong, she pointed to the lanterns not far away and said, "Look over there, the lanterns are so beautiful."
Pei-Jung couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful! I need to take some pictures to show my child when I get back."
Several women then surrounded Pei Rong and walked in that direction.
Seeing that Pei Rong had taken a lot of photos, Shen Qingge said enthusiastically, "Let me also keep a souvenir for you. When your child sees the photos, they will feel even more immersed in the experience."
Shen Qingge had studied photography and was very good at communication; after taking the photos, she processed them with simple photo editing software and sent them to Pei Rong.
Everyone who saw the photos exclaimed, "She looks like a movie star! She really has both good looks and great charisma, and exudes a wonderful aura."
Shen Qingge felt a surge of pride. It seemed she had made the right decision to come today. She would find an opportunity to embarrass Su Maiqi in front of everyone later.
I want you to know that you are not good enough for Brother Tingyu.
I want to let Tingyu know that I am a million times better than him, and that I am the right partner for him. What does wearing matching outfits matter? It's the understanding and abilities of a couple who are well-matched that make a lasting relationship work.
