"I think Jiang Yue is more important to Matriarch Gu. It’s only when educating their own flesh and blood do parents show no mercy."
"I really didn’t expect Jiang Yue to steal someone else’s gown!"
"No wonder the gown she’s wearing seems a little strange!"
"We’ve all been fooled by her innocent appearance. We really thought that Professor Qiao was trying to snatch her gown!"
...
Jiang Yue’s face grew paler and paler as she listened to the sarcastic comments around her. She clenched her fists tightly, swaying on the spot.
Qiao Nian was very worried that Matriarch Gu’s heart disease would flare up again. Hurriedly, she rubbed Matriarch Gu’s back gently and said in a comforting voice, "Grandma, don’t be angry anymore. Your health is the most important thing. Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that you were coming?"
Matriarch Gu looked at Qiao Nian carefully. Seeing that Qiao Nian didn’t seem to be angry at all even after her gown had been stolen, Matriarch Gu blamed herself even more. She said uneasily, "I stayed up all night yesterday because I hoped that both of you would be able to wear the most perfect gowns here today."
One by one, Jiang Yue’s tears fell without a sound, falling onto the diamond pieces embedded in the gown. She felt as if the gown she was wearing was mocking her.
Qiao Nian was very touched by Matriarch Gu’s words.
She disliked Jiang Yue greatly. If it weren’t for Jiang Yue’s vanity, Grandma’s good intentions wouldn’t have been ruined.
Matriarch Gu gave a soft sigh and said, "I knew that both of you would be going on stage to give a speech. How could I not have attended such a momentous event? I was just too tired, so I asked Zhao Qian to bring the gowns over first. I never expected such a situation to happen. If I had known this would happen, I would have left early on my own."
As Matriarch Gu finished speaking, her gaze inadvertently fell on Jiang Yue, who was still standing at the side. She frowned and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and change out of the gown! Look at the state of you! Wearing someone else’s gown..."
Jiang Yue looked at Matriarch Gu in disbelief. She had not expected Matriarch Gu to be so insistent on changing her gown.
