Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 525: Worth It or Not? 10
The hall was spacious, and the side hall was not small either.
The Xia Family’s ladies were present in abundance today; besides Xia Chuxue and He Shuya, even ladies and wives of other gentlemen had come.
There was also their big sister, Xia Qiangwei.
Though Xia Qiangwei and Xia Chuxue were born from the same mother, since Xia Qiangwei went abroad in her teens, they hadn’t spent much time together.
Thus, despite being biological sisters, their affection for each other was rather lukewarm.
Coupled with the fact that their mother, He Shuya, had always favored the prettier Xia Chuxue from a young age, Xia Qiangwei felt even less fondness towards Xia Chuxue.
On the contrary, she was more inclined to be close to her younger sister Xia Yinian, who, after all, was not hypocritical and was more sincere with people.
"You look very pretty tonight, anyone unaware would think you’re the main character of the evening."
Xia Qiangwei’s comment held no other implications, and Xia Yinian understood her; her personality was straightforward, speaking her mind without reservations.
In fact, Xia Yinian herself felt that her outfit for the night was indeed a bit over the top.
Not only was the dress exceptionally eye-catching and solemn, but even the jewelry she wore was extremely luxurious.
It was the set that Yu Wanqing had knocked to the ground at the jewelry store today. Of course, only the chain had hit the ground. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
It wasn’t that Gu Lingqian couldn’t afford to buy another set; rather, this set was truly exquisite.
He Shuya and Xia Chuxue had long coveted the black gemstone necklace around Xia Yinian’s neck for a very long time.
After seeing it upon entering, they had liked it continuously upto now. However, having it on someone of such lowly birth as Xia Yinian was simply too wasteful.
Xia Chuxue, on the other hand, felt the necklace looked increasingly familiar as she looked at it.
"It’s the necklace from today’s Weibo!" Xia Chuxue finally exclaimed in a low voice.
Ladies at nearby tables cast disapproving glances.
What sort of decorum is this? Shouting and bawling—no manners at all!
They were all from the Gu Family, and naturally, they felt the Xia Family’s ladies were beneath them.
As far as the Gu Family was concerned, the Xia Family was just poor commoners; the fact that such lowly people could enter their grand hall and sit on an equal footing with them was utterly revolting.
Xia Chuxue knew her exclamation had attracted many disdainful stares, but still, she pointed at the necklace on Xia Yinian’s neck, her face betraying her surprise as if she’d discovered a new continent.
"This necklace, isn’t it the same one that Lady Yu Jiaqing dropped on the ground?"
Glancing at Xia Yinian again, Xia Chuxue couldn’t help but smile maliciously: "Nian Nian, don’t tell me you’re this desperate. Even if you’re that poor, there’s no need to lack self-respect!"
"Picking up things others discarded and wearing them, do you have no dignity left?"
Bending down to pick up things while they stand high above watching you, I can imagine the scene—it’s no different from a begging dog, isn’t it?"
Her words immediately drew the attention of the Gu Family’s ladies.
Xia Qiangwei was a little impatient and tugged at Xia Chuxue: "We’re all from the Xia Family; can’t you take your disputes home to settle?"
Causing a scene here is clearly just inviting mockery!
She really couldn’t understand what Xia Chuxue was thinking—those Gu Family women obviously looked down on them, and yet she herself wanted to stir up internal conflict?
Utterly disgraceful!
Of course, Xia Chuxue was not to be outdone, harrumphing coldly: "Did I say anything wrong? That necklace was indeed thrown away by the Lady Yu; isn’t she just like a dog, picking up what others have discarded on the ground?"
