Helping My Ex-Wife Find Love Every Day - Chapter 49

When a party swells with people, games must take center stage. The “sisters” divided into their own cliques: some played Truth or Dare, some went to play billiards, and others went to the poolside for a BBQ.

Most of the rest harbored malicious intentions toward Yao Xiang Yi.

Looking across Haishi’s elite families and the lesbian circle, Yao Xiang Yi was the most top-tier queer woman. Not only was she fair-skinned, beautiful, and long-legged, but she was also unbelievably rich.

In just two months, she had lavishly spent hundreds of millions on Qiu Qing Shi. They watched this, consumed by envy, jealousy, and hatred.

What they hated most was their own lack of foresight back then.

The circle of the elite is actually small. After all, the wealthy are the minority of minorities. If they live close to each other, their children mostly attend the same private schools.

Among these maliciously intentioned sisters, all of them had attended the same kindergarten, primary school, middle school, or high school as Yao Xiang Yi.

The lucky ones had even been in the same class as her.

They regretted their past blindness. Why did they not have the eyes to recognize beauty back then? Allowing Qiu Qing Shi to seize the opportunity!

That’s right, their looks might be slightly inferior to Qiu Qing Shi’s, but they certainly possessed some physical appeal.

The most important thing was their “pure lineage of elite families,” which put them miles ahead of an arriviste like the Qiu family.

They were genuinely suitable matches for the Yao family.

Who the hell is Qiu Qing Shi?

It wasn’t too late to mend their ways. Qiu Qing Shi happened to be absent tonight, so they needed to try hard to attract Yao Xiang Yi’s attention, and a one-night stand would be even better.

They wiped the drool from their mouths.

They tried their best not to appear so “thirsty for Yao Xiang Yi’s body.”

Perhaps because she’d had a bit of wine, Chi Gu Yuan didn’t notice the strange looks the sisters were giving Yao Xiang Yi.

She spoke self-importantly: “Boss, Si Li will be here soon. Let’s go to the card room to wait for her. We’re playing mahjong all night tonight.”

All night?

Mahjong?

Yao Xiang Yi wasn’t interested. Her mind was filled with thoughts of all-night sex and Qiu Qing Shi’s beautiful body. She wasn’t in the mood to contribute to the gambling industry.

“Find someone else to play with you. I have things to do.”

Chi Gu Yuan nudged Yao Xiang Yi’s waist with her elbow: “What things could you possibly have? Don’t hide it from me. I know Qiu Qing Shi kicked you out of the house, right?”

She had been staying at her house every day without leaving, always with a straight face. Even an idiot could figure out why.

Yao Xiang Yi tried hard to save her CEO dignity: “Nonsense.”

Chi Gu Yuan half-closed her eyes, looking her up, down, left, and right, making a profound and knowing expression: “We’re close friends, no need to hide anything. We all understand.”

Yao Xiang Yi scoffed: “What does a single dog like you understand?”

Chi Gu Yuan dramatically clutched her heart, looking pitiful: “Boss, that stings.”

Then she grinned cheekily: “Qiu Qing Shi ignoring you is a good thing. A vast, beautiful world of flowers is waiting for you.”

Yao Xiang Yi stood her ground, retreating a step to maintain a safe distance from the playboy Chi Gu Yuan, lest she be poisoned by her sordid thoughts.

The sisters waiting nearby were restless. They marched forward, ready to pounce on Yao Xiang Yi: “Oh, CEO Yao, we’re old classmates. It’s rare for us to get together; don’t be a spoilsport.”

Another chimed in: “Don’t tell us you look down on us.”

Listen to this casual moral blackmail.

Yao Xiang Yi desperately wished Qiu Qing Shi was beside her right now. She guaranteed she would roast these little “white lotuses” until they cried.

Of course, she could roast them too.

But she was the head of the Yao family. Arguing with them would lower her status.

Chi Gu Yuan used both soft and hard tactics: “Come on, Boss, please! I specifically prepared this pool party for you. If you don’t play, there’s no protagonist, and the party will be boring.”

Leaving now would indeed embarrass Chi Gu Yuan. Yao Xiang Yi was someone who considered the bigger picture. Standing tall, she conceded, “Just one round.”

One round of mahjong was four hands. By the time it was over, Qiu Qing Shi should have arrived.

The card room was on the third floor, equipped with sofas and a television. The group entered and took their seats.

The quick-witted sisters had already pulled up chairs and sat on both sides of Yao Xiang Yi.

They cooed sweetly, “CEO Yao, let us touch the tiles for you.”

Yao Xiang Yi said coldly and heartlessly, “I’m sorry, my wife doesn’t like anyone else touching the tiles for me when I play mahjong.”

If she remembered correctly, this sister was one of Qiu Qing Shi’s superficial girlfriends.

Superficial Girlfriend: “…………”

The superficial girlfriend puffed out her C-cup chest and used a soft, delicate tone: “CEO Yao, you sent us bikinis. We have to repay you somehow, right?”

Yao Xiang Yi said politely, “No need. My wife’s repayment is enough for me.”

The superficial girlfriend’s overly-operated face twisted slightly.

F**, talking about his little bitch wife constantly. 666!*

She was furious. She couldn’t sit at the mahjong table anymore. She stood up and moved to the sofa to sulk.

Halfway through sulking, bad ideas bubbled up. She took out her phone and posted an update on her Moments.

The picture was a group photo she had taken earlier with the other two sisters in the bedroom.

It was visible only to certain people, including Qiu Qing Shi.

The girlfriends, who loved drama, vigorously fanned the flames in the comment section.

Superficial Girlfriend 1: [Did CEO Yao really send them? I’m genuinely jealous! I want one too!]

Superficial Girlfriend 2: [Are you guys having a pool party? Can you ask CEO Yao if I’m welcome to come?]

Superficial Girlfriend 3: [@SuperficialGF2, you have to first ask CEO Yao if she has any extra bikinis to send you, otherwise, what will you wear?]

Qiu Qing Shi scrolled through these “lotus flower” words, rolling her eyes inwardly.

She ignored the arriving elevator, turned around, and went back home.

Qiu Fugui turned on the TV, eating the fruit platter Aunt Mi had cut for him, and watched the popular Qing Dynasty drama of the summer. He had just used the remote control to skip the opening credits when Qiu Qing Shi returned.

He scratched his permed hair and asked, “Did you forget something?”

Qiu Qing Shi said coldly, “I’m changing clothes.”

She spoke quickly, without even taking off her high heels. The heels clacked loudly on the pear wood floor, dong dong dong.

After taking a few steps, she turned back to grasp the doorknob and gently closed the door.

Qiu Fugui was very relieved. As expected of the socialite trained with 30,000 yuan per class; she’s meticulous.

Then, he saw Qiu Qing Shi quickly go into the house. When she reappeared, she had changed her makeup and hairstyle and was wearing a high-slit Shanghai-style qipao.

Qiu Fugui: “Qing Qing, where are you going…”

Qiu Qing Shi’s eyes narrowed, and she said firmly, “To tear apart a green tea bitch.”

Qiu Fugui clutched the remote control tightly: Hmm, I’m scared.

Yao Xiang Yi froze when she received the WeChat message, “Boss, so tonight is a group activity,” showing a rare display of panic in front of others.

She quickly cupped her hand into a fist, pressing it against her lips, using a cough to cover her embarrassment.

The temporarily hired server came in just in time to bring champagne and tea. Yao Xiang Yi regained her composure and calmly took a cup of herbal tea.

The server was thoughtful, kindly reminding her, “Be careful, it’s hot.”

Yao Xiang Yi pursed her lips and thanked him.

Looking up, she saw Tang Si Li, dressed in a black cocktail dress, push the door open and enter, followed by her manager.

Chi Gu Yuan winked and teased, “We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Tang Si Li offered an apologetic smile, sitting down below Yao Xiang Yi: “I just finished shooting a magazine cover. The photographer had a temporary issue, which caused the delay.”

Yao Xiang Yi pushed a glass of champagne from the corner of the table toward her: “I specifically got this for you.”

Tang Si Li tossed her long hair back, holding a tissue with her fingertips, wiping the sweat from the back of her neck.

“I drove here. Please switch it out for tea.”

Yao Xiang Yi then exchanged her herbal tea with Tang Si Li’s champagne.

Tang Si Li immediately pressed down on Yao Xiang Yi’s hand, frowning slightly: “I saw your car parked outside. You’re not allowed to drink champagne either.”

Chi Gu Yuan pouted, saying maliciously, “Si Li, you’re so attentive to the Boss, even more attentive than you are to your own wife, Qi Bai Xuan.”

The speaker had no ill intent.

But Tang Si Li’s eyes flickered for a moment.

Her throat tightened. She wanted to argue, but couldn’t utter a single word. In a moment of urgency, she had no choice but to kick Chi Gu Yuan under the table.

Chi Gu Yuan, who was often kicked: QAQ

She couldn’t believe that the gentle and sophisticated Tang Si Li would use violence on her.

She lowered the corners of her eyes, conveying deep sorrow.

Tang Si Li ignored her. After kicking Chi Gu Yuan, she remembered her hand was still pressed on Yao Xiang Yi’s wrist and awkwardly pulled it back.

To mask her embarrassment, she was the first to pick up the dice.

Yao Xiang Yi didn’t mind and smoothed things over: “That’s just Gu Yuan’s personality. Don’t take it to heart.”

As she spoke, she also tossed the dice.

The four people took turns throwing the dice. According to the number rolled, they determined their respective positions. Yao Xiang Yi and Tang Si Li didn’t need to move, but Chi Gu Yuan and the manager switched places.

They began drawing tiles and arranging them.

Yao Xiang Yi finished arranging her tiles first. Finding a moment, she quickly explained to Qiu Qing Shi.

CEOYaoBoss: [Darling, those bikinis were bought by me for you. Don’t overthink it, and don’t get angry. The pool party was Chi Gu Yuan’s doing. It has nothing to do with me, and it doesn’t affect us. When you arrive, we can just go back to our house.]

InvincibleCutieQiu: [Hehe.]

The sudden “hehe” from his wife was the most terrifying.

Yao Xiang Yi felt this matter couldn’t be delayed, or their marriage would face a crisis of trust.

CEOYaoBoss: [How about I come wait for you at the entrance of the Semi-Mountain Villa right now? I’ll stay far away from them.]

Qiu Qing Shi did not reply.

Yao Xiang Yi appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

Chi Gu Yuan tapped the table: “Boss, it’s your turn to discard a tile.”

Yao Xiang Yi raised an eyebrow, threw out a “One of Bamboos,” and said placidly, “I don’t need the Bamboos.”

Chi Gu Yuan clapped excitedly: “Haha, I’ll collect the Bamboos! The first hand will definitely be a win!”

The sisters on the sofa all swarmed over to watch the game.

They all turned into chatterboxes—

“Oh, CEO Yao’s luck is very good too~”

“CEO Yao is playing so well! Thumbs up! Win with a self-drawn tile next time~”

“I’ll move closer to CEO Yao and give all my good luck to CEO Yao.”

They were chirping away like a group of old ladies. Yao Xiang Yi really wanted to ask them to move away.

Chi Gu Yuan leaned over, whispering into Yao Xiang Yi’s ear jokingly, “Qing Shi isn’t here. Don’t be too constrained. Pick someone you like to keep you company tonight.”

Yao Xiang Yi realized Chi Gu Yuan was getting increasingly annoying. She grabbed her ear and tugged slightly: “Congratulations, you’re banned from the entertainment industry forever!”

Chi Gu Yuan timidly retracted her neck: “Boss, don’t keep threatening to blacklist me.”

Yao Xiang Yi’s icy gaze swept over her, making her shiver.

Tang Si Li guessed Chi Gu Yuan had said something suggestive and offered a few words of advice to Yao Xiang Yi.

Only then did Yao Xiang Yi, showing the magnanimity of a superior, allow Chi Gu Yuan to sit back down properly.

Outside the villa, a white Ferrari 488 sports car drove up, radiating dominance. The moment the tires firmly gripped the asphalt road, a sharp, screeching sound cut through the air.

The sisters on the balcony all looked over at the sound.

They saw the car door slowly push open.

A well-proportioned, fair leg extended from the driver’s seat, reflecting a mysterious sheen in the orange sunset.

Below was a slender ankle and delicate black high heels.

It was seductive and full of sexual tension.

Everyone held their breath, anticipating the revelation of her true appearance.

A woman, wearing a high-slit qipao, steadily stepped out of the car.

The thin, dark-green brocade clung to her perfect figure, tightly cinching her waist. It possessed an elegant ancient charm and an ultimate seductive allure.

She took off her sunglasses, her eyes revealing complete self-possession.

The sisters were stunned and shaken.

The unreachable goddess actually possessed such charming allure.

No wonder Yao Xiang Yi spends three hundred million every other week.

They all wanted to lose their fortunes just to win a smile from this beauty.

Damn it!

They had lost, lost, lost!
