Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife-Chapter 1742: Above the Ball 3

Since Su Meixiang left the Wucheng army after her divorce from Shen Qing, Feng Qingxue saw her for the first time, and couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, wondering whether she was attending the dance party as a member of her natal family or her new husband’s family.

What surprised her most was that Su Meixiang was wearing a light green dress with small floral patterns and a diagonal collar.

The collar and front edge were trimmed with green fabric, with a belt of the same color around the waist, and the lower part was a pleated skirt that reached about the calf, paired with black leather sandals.

This dress on Su Meixiang added a touch of elegance to her appearance.

"Qingxue, how does your outfit compare to my dress?" Su Meixiang had a hint of an unfathomable expression in her eyes.

Feng Qingxue suddenly recalled a historical anecdote and smiled, saying, "There’s no comparison; my outfit is just an ordinary shirt and work pants that any tailor could make. The only difference is the material, whereas your dress is very innovative and looks great."

Hearing Feng Qingxue’s words, Su Meixiang felt somewhat disappointed.

Even so, Su Meixiang quickly revived her spirits and said with a smile, "This kind of dress is especially popular this summer. In a little over a month, it will be promoted nationwide. Qingxue, since you’re so slim, it would look even better on you. How about I get one for you first?"

Feng Qingxue felt a pang in her heart; neither rejecting nor accepting seemed right.

Rejection was not conducive to the current situation, but accepting right away would not be beneficial for future prospects.

She quickly came up with an idea, smiled slightly, and said, "Comrade Su Meixiang, as you said, a dress is not cheap. Money is a minor issue; the main thing is that cloth tickets are hard to get. Comrade Lu Jiang wouldn’t allow me to accept things from outsiders haphazardly, thinking it too inappropriate. I must abide by his guidance, so I’ll wait to buy it after it’s promoted."

Lu Jiang said in a deep voice, "Indeed, we can buy it ourselves."

His authoritative presence was so strong that Su Meixiang felt a bit intimidated, laughed awkwardly, and said, "Then I’ll just save money." fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

"But I still appreciate your kindness." Feng Qingxue softened her tone. It was her first time attending the dance party, and since the topic was this dress, she didn’t think it necessary to offend Su Meixiang at the moment.

Better to offend a gentleman than a villain; caution should prevail in all matters.

Su Meixiang hurriedly said, "Someone’s calling me, I’ll go first, make yourselves comfortable."

The number of women wearing dresses like hers was indeed quite a few, and Su Meixiang quickly mingled among them, not once inquiring about how Shen Qing and her own son, Shen Feng, were doing.

Her cold-heartedness was evident.

"Su Meixiang has remarried," Lu Jiang whispered into his wife’s ear.

Feng Qingxue was taken aback and asked softly, "Who did she marry? Someone like her, and there’s actually someone willing to take her?"

Lu Jiang replied indifferently, "As long as the Su family benefits, it’s fine."

Feng Qingxue understood in her heart and said softly, "Does Shen Qing still give her money every month? How could she have the nerve to take it?"

Lu Jiang sneered, "Why wouldn’t she have the nerve? Getting married doesn’t necessarily mean she gets all of her new husband’s salary. If she wants to wear fashionable clothes and shoes, naturally she still has to rely on Shen Qing’s alimony."

Seeing Su Meixiang annoyed Lu Jiang.

Shen Qing, such a promising person, was almost ruined by Su Meixiang. Shen Feng was raised poorly by her, and Shen Qing put in tremendous effort to change his temperament. But in the end, he was still influenced by his mother, and though he’s not as bad as before, he still can’t be considered a good child—not even close to Ye Yan.
