The Lady is Beautiful and Sassy-Chapter 353 - 351
Qiao Qiqi already had her suspicions, and after hearing Brother speak, she felt even more certain there was something fishy about it; that woman and that child might both have problems, and there might even be someone behind the scenes orchestrating everything.
However, in her previous life, although Qiao Qiqi had glanced at this news, she didn’t remember any names. After all, it was just entertainment gossip, and she didn’t pay much attention to it, so she had no idea who that woman was.
It seems she can only wait for that woman to appear and then remind Xiaoqing not to be led astray by someone with ulterior motives, and do something that would hurt loved ones and delight enemies.
...
On Qiao Qiqi’s birthday, Qiao Yaozu specially rented a castle to hold a birthday party for his daughter, which also served as her welcome-back party. He wanted to introduce his beloved daughter to everyone!
When Qiao Yue’er heard this news, she was insanely jealous. She had celebrated seventeen birthdays at the Qiao Family, at most with a party at home, never with such pomp! 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Indeed, being one’s own child makes a difference!
However, thinking about the bracelet she gave to Qiao Qiqi, it was something she got by chance. It’s said to accelerate aging, make people ugly, and ultimately lead to death!
Qiao Yue’er’s money was all lost in a previous bet, not only did she lose her own, but she also ended up in debt. Fortunately, the people she borrowed the most money from were Lu Mochen, Yu Yunxi, and a few of her suitors. At the time, they still admired her, and later they didn’t ask for the money back.
But lately, she has been truly in dire straits; if her mother hadn’t helped her a little, she wouldn’t even have had food to eat.
Though she was angry, she couldn’t lose her momentum. She was determined to outshine Qiao Qiqi today! Let her know that being a lady for eighteen years amounted to nothing!
Qiao Yue’er rummaged through the clothes in her wardrobe, but none satisfied her. She had worn all these dresses already, and wearing them a second time would be degrading, and the dresses she’d worn seemed particularly unpleasant!
Wu Lening took the rare opportunity to dress up today, laying out several outfits on the bed to choose from. When Qiao Yue’er came over, she saw her mother searching for something and asked, "Mom, what are you looking for?"
"I’m looking for a few sets of jewelry from before; how could they be missing? It’s really strange." Wu Lening rarely wore these pieces, and Wu Yaozu liked buying them for her on anniversaries.
So she had accumulated quite a few nice pieces, and today she wanted to find that set of pearl jewelry but couldn’t find it.
It seemed there were also two other sets of different styles missing.
Qiao Yue’er’s eyes flickered; she had stolen and sold that jewelry. After paying off her debts, there wasn’t much money left.
"Maybe it got lost when we moved house last time? Things easily get lost during a move." Qiao Yue’er quickly said.
"What you said might be possible, we’ll just have to use something else for now." Wu Lening was a bit upset, as those were gifts from her husband, each with sentimental value.
Seeing she didn’t dwell on the matter, Qiao Yue’er let out a sigh of relief. In the end, Wu Lening chose a set of white attire, paired with turquoise jewelry.
"Yue’er, did you come to find me for something at this time?" Wu Lening inquired once she was ready.
Qiao Yue’er bit her lip and said, "Mom, I don’t have anything suitable to wear today."
"I didn’t think this through. A Zhe prepared for Qiqi, but nothing has been prepared for you?" Wu Lening pulled her hand and touched her head, "Today is your birthday too, you know."
