Unexpected Second Chance at Love

Her hair is styled in a loose fishtail braid down her back as loose strands of hair frame her face in the front to match her neutral makeup and crimson red full lips. Around her neck is a simple dainty diamond necklace that coordinates well with her long neck.

She wore a long sleeve dress made by the finest champagne fabric as it sparkles with each step she took. The scattered of gold glitters on the dress shines brightly when the light reflects upon it as if they were diamonds in the sky.

The front of the dress tightly overlaps into a v-shape at the chest down to the waist but does not expose her. The back part of the dress reveals her fair shoulder blades and backbone.

Her slim waist is wrapped nicely at the top as the bottom flows over her feet like a milky waterfall.

The dress itself looks very formal with a hint of alluring features to the eyes.

"Indeed, worthy of a supermodel."

"Even when she is not on the stage, she can still look so graceful."

Hearing the praises about his granddaughter, grandfather Ji held his chin high with joy and proudness. Times like this, he truly wishes he could spend it with those who are no longer here. If they could see the wonderful woman Yue Ling has become, they would be as happy as him.

Moving shoulder to shoulder with her yeye, Yue Ling muted everyone out. She did not appear last to get anyone's attention. It was only to avoid the cameras outside since neither she nor her yeye likes it.

Following behind, Ting casually looks around the place since this is his first time attending an event like this. Liu Shan on the other hand was different. His assistant aura is now replaced with alertness. He cannot be too careless at all. The incident with Doctor Xie is proof that any of these prestige families can be the enemy too.

"Is Han Yue Ling somehow related to General Ji?"

"I don't think so. This is the first time I've seen them together and attend the same event."

Two women from prestige families whispers to one another in curiosity. One wore a black dress while the other wore a purple dress.

To them, seeing two well-known people who are not associated to one another rises their suspicion.

"She is his new mistress."

"…."

Suddenly, a third voice spoke from behind the two women. Their eyes widen with a gasp and turn to the owner of the voice.

It was a woman with blond curly hair and bright red lips. She wore a very tight red mermaid dress that scoops behind her neck and down. Not only were chest visible to the eyes, even the center part of her stomach is shown.

One tug and the possibility of her large chests would pop out into view.

Eyeing the woman's outrageously looks, both women furrow their brows.

This woman's dress is too revealing, and she looks like every wife's waking nightmare. The type of woman who would still someone's husband.

However, the woman in black glance at the woman in red and force a polite smile.

"I don't think I've seen you before. Who are you?"

The woman wearing the red mermaid dress slightly jumped at the question. A small change of annoyance can be seen on her face, but she quickly hides it. Her red lips widen in smile.

"Oh, how impolite of me. I am Qian Li Li."

"Qian Li Li?"

Both women mumbled the unfamiliar name at the same time. Glancing at one another, both women confirmed that they have never heard of Qian Li Li. However, seeing that she is invited to the fashion show, she must also be from a prestige family.

The woman in black stares at Qian Li Li then turn her head in the direction Han Yue Ling went. Her eyes narrow and she looks back at the revealing woman.

"Miss Qian, about what you said, is it really true?"

The woman in purple also looks at Qian Li Li for an answer. In high society, gossips are always important, especially when it's about well-known figures.

Seeing the curious looks in the two woman, Qian Li Li playfully chuckles.

"Of course, it is true."

She leans forward and raise her hand to her mouth to whisper.

"Everyone knows that she likes to keep a low profile, but only a few knows that after leaving the modeling industry, she became General Ji's mistress to attain his fortune."

Both woman gasp in shock. They could not believe such thing has happen in Imperial with only a few people knowing. How is it that they have never heard of such thing before?

Qian Li Li sneer inside and pretends to look around. Her gesture was as if she was going to tell the deepest and darkest secret.

"Think about it, he is a infamous figure in Imperial with his positions. Not only is he a general, he is also the chairman of Ji Corps. Why wouldn't she become his mistress after becoming nothing. Once he reaches age and dies, his fortune will be passed to her if not his adopted grandson."

Both women looks at each other with a hint of doubt. Thinking of what Qian Li Li said, the woman in purple pout her lips.

"How can she become his mistress? Isn't it said that General Ji only cares about one woman and that is his deceased wife?"

Qian Li Li scoffs inside but maintains a polite smile. She straightens her posture and fold her arms under her large chest.

"All men are like that no matter how old they are. When a beautiful woman enters their lonely life, how can they possibly turn down such a great offer. Han Yue Ling only has her looks, everything else is meaningless."

Saying this, she subconsciously sees a figure in the crowd and she smiles with her teeth to both women.

"Please excuse me, I must take my leave now."

Without waiting for a response, she walks pass the two women still in shock. She had purposely said those words because she hates Yue Ling with every feeling. Even she was shocked to see the slut attend tonight's event with the General.

However, since she already created a rumor, words will definitely travel fast and once those words reach outside, Lu Tian will not want anything to do with that slut again.

Both women's eyes followed Qian Li Li's red figure until she was no long in view. They look at one another and anger rose inside them.

"I can't believe this. How dare that evil woman do such a disgusting thing? To think so many has actually looked up to her."

"Han Yue Ling, this woman is too arrogant. She is only a tiny model and yet, she dares to fancy someone out of her reach."

As the two women continue to lash out in private about Yue Ling, neither women nor Qian Li Li were aware that their entire conversation from start to end was heard by two figures standing next to them.
