When someone takes the initiative to come over, it’s naturally awkward to just stand around, so Chu Jingyun replied, "Hello!"

Ji Xiangling said, "My name is Ji Xiangling. I guess Miss Chu should know me, but of course, it’s okay if you don’t. I can introduce myself..."

"No need..." Chu Jingyun smiled lightly and said, "I know Lady Ji!"

Then she extended her hand towards her, "Nice to meet you. My name is Chu Jingyun. I think there’s no need for further introduction!"

Ji Xiangling raised an eyebrow, "Naturally!"

The two women shook hands, both with smiles, but the emotions brewing in their eyes were perhaps only understood by each other.

"Why don’t we find a place to sit and chat?" Ji Xiangling suggested.

Chu Jingyun had no reason to refuse because she also wanted to talk with Ji Xiangling.

Both she and Ji Xiangling liked Song Yansheng, but for now, Song Yansheng’s heart was set on Shi Nuan. So, it seemed they could be temporary allies.

After all, only by first getting rid of Shi Nuan, would they have a chance to get close to Song Yansheng.

In a relatively secluded sofa corner, the two sat down, their eyes looking at the still noisy party not far away.

Yet, even so, this kind of party still made them feel dull. If they hadn’t seen each other there, perhaps they both would have left early.

The first to speak was Chu Jingyun, she said, "I guess Lady Ji should attend this type of party often!"

Ji Xiangling smiled thinly and said, "Not often, just occasionally, when bored. Although once here, it feels even more boring!"

Chu Jingyun laughed, "Previously, I attended a few parties with A Yu, all needed a female companion. At that time, I never found it boring; now, indeed, it feels quite boring, extremely boring!"

Ji Xiangling frowned, but thinking of Song Yansheng during the past eight years, he must have attended quite a few parties. Chu Jingyun only attended a few, which was nothing.

If this concerned her, then what should concern her more seems to be Song Yansheng’s secretary, Yao Ziwan.

Because as far as she knows, whenever Song Yansheng attends a party needing a female companion, the one accompanying him most often is Yao Ziwan.

Ji Xiangling took a deep breath and said, "It seems Miss Chu had deep feelings for A Yu. It’s a pity that neither your seven years of waiting nor mine has led to him in the end!"

Chu Jingyun’s eyes quivered, and she lowered them, appearing somewhat sad.

After calming her breath, she finally spoke, "Forget it, talking about these things is quite upsetting. Let’s not mention them. I suppose what Lady Ji wants to discuss with me is not just about this..."

Ji Xiangling smiled, "Indeed, it’s not just this. Actually, I want to ask Miss Chu one thing: Why do you think A Yu was so adamant about marrying Shi Nuan?"

Chu Jingyun said, "A Yu has a stubborn nature. If he doesn’t want to marry someone, no one can force them on him. If he wants to marry someone, no one can change his mind. And the person he wants to marry must be someone he likes, someone he loves... A Yu, he fell in love with Shi Nuan!"

Actually, when saying this, Chu Jingyun felt a bit sad.

Her seven years of waiting resulted in nothing. Shi Nuan appeared in Song Yansheng’s life, for how long?

Only three years, just three years, and during these three years, she was the fiancée of Song Yansheng’s nephew, Song Yichuan!

Under such circumstances, Song Yansheng still fell in love with Shi Nuan, fell hopelessly in love with her!

Emotions and feelings, really, are hard to explain and hurt deeply everywhere!

Ji Xiangling listened, smiled faintly, and continued to ask, "Then Miss Chu, let me ask you one more question: Do you know why A Yu fell in love with Shi Nuan?"
