"I'll apologize in public. Don't worry. For the Jiang Group and the Jiang family," Jiang Man said calmly. Then she went back to her room.
Once inside, Jiang Man completely lost her mind and started smashing things around.
"What does that bitch An Ke think she is? She wants me to apologize in public? Fine! Let's see if she can bear the consequences," Jiang Man said venomously.
Hearing the sound of things being smashed in Jiang Man's room, Jiang Zekai sighed. He knew she must be feeling extremely miserable and wronged and needed an outlet to vent.
At the same time, the He residence was in a state of tranquility.
"Come to a cocktail party with me the day after tomorrow," He Ting said casually at the dinner table.
"Why? I don't want to go," An Ke replied without looking up, concentrating on the food in her bowl.
"Because you're Mrs. He. I've prepared a surprise for you."
"Surprise? I'm not interested," An Ke still didn't look up.
"You have to go. If you don't, I'll fire that maid."
"The one I took out for dinner last time," He Ting added.
"Are you threatening me?" An Ke looked up at him discontentedly.
Rui Xin, standing beside the table, felt a bit at a loss. She knew the young master He was referring to her.
"Yes. You choose," He Ting looked at her calmly.
An Ke turned to look at Rui Xin. Seeing the maid's uneasy look, she felt even more irritated and sighed.
"I'll go!" An Ke said through gritted teeth.
Rui Xin let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, but she also felt sorry for An Ke being forced into this.
"Okay. I'll ask the butler to show you some optional dresses later. You can choose for yourself," He Ting said with a satisfied smile.
An Ke thought He Ting's smiling face was extremely annoying. She rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.
After dinner, He Ting left for the company to attend to business.
Not long after, Butler Li came with a bunch of dresses.
He wheeled a movable wardrobe in front of An Ke.
"Madam, these are the latest designer dresses prepared by the young master for you. Please choose one to wear at the cocktail party the day after tomorrow," Butler Li said respectfully.
"I got it. You can go," An Ke rubbed her head. She felt a headache looking at so many dresses.
"Yes, madam," Butler Li said and retreated.
"Wow, these dresses are so beautiful!" Rui Xin came over and exclaimed.
"How about I give you a few? You can pick for yourself," An Ke offered.
"No, thank you. I don't need them. Besides, these dresses are too expensive for me," Rui Xin declined.
Indeed, these dresses were very expensive, starting at tens of millions.
An Ke didn't insist and began to look at the dresses herself.
"Rui Xin, help me pick. There are too many," An Ke said.
Hundreds of dresses in one place would make anyone dizzy, especially someone like An Ke who had no interest in dresses at all.
"Yes, madam," Rui Xin said and also started looking at the dresses one by one.
After looking for a while, Rui Xin sighed, "It's really good to be rich! You can have so many beautiful clothes."
"What are you talking about? Being rich has its advantages, and being poor also has its own good points," An Ke said as she flicked Rui Xin's forehead, then plunged back into the sea of dresses.
"Yes, yes, yes. Everything you say is right, madam," Rui Xin joked.
"Ah, there are really so many. They're all so beautiful. How can I choose?" Rui Xin scratched her head.
An Ke didn't say a word because she saw a dress that really caught her eye.
It was the first time An Ke had been interested in a dress. Rui Xin noticed An Ke's stunned expression and leaned over.
"So beautiful! Of all the dresses I've seen, this one is the most beautiful! I don't even know how to describe it," Rui Xin praised.
An Ke still didn't say anything. She just took out the dress.
The dress was mainly composed of blue and white. From a distance, it looked like a galaxy, extremely beautiful. There were many shiny little embellishments on the dress, but surprisingly, it didn't look tacky at all. Instead, it exuded an air of elegance and grandeur.
An Ke looked at the dress carefully. It seemed very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before.
"This dress seems to be exactly the one Xia Li liked," Rui Xin suddenly said.
This remark woke An Ke up. Yes, Xia Li had once said that she liked this dress very much.
Coincidentally, their tastes were always very similar. Not only did they both like this dress this time, but they had also liked the same necklace and the same bag before. This kind of fate was really wonderful.
"Yes, it is," An Ke said with a smile.
"Aunt Li, please hang this dress up. You can just put the others in the closet," An Ke instructed.
"Yes, madam," Aunt Li came over and took all the dresses away.
For An Ke, choosing a dress was a big deal. She felt extremely proud.
When He Ting came back and saw the dress An Ke had chosen, he was very shocked. Coincidentally, this was also the dress he had taken a fancy to at first.
This dress was called "Starry Galaxy" and was designed by the famous designer ML. White. There were only three in the world.
On the day of the cocktail party, He Ting specially arranged for a makeup artist to do An Ke's makeup.
An Ke was very impatient, but she had no choice but to endure it.
"Mrs. He, I'm starting," the makeup artist said politely.
"Okay."
After a few hours, the makeup was finally done, and An Ke put on the dress.
Rui Xin led An Ke out. He Ting was extremely shocked. An Ke looked extremely beautiful today. He had never seen her look so beautiful before.
"You look really good today," He Ting couldn't help but praise.
An Ke looked at herself in the mirror and was equally surprised. She really did look quite beautiful.
Moreover, this dress really suited her. It wasn't just her boasting.
"Let me put this on for you," He Ting suddenly took out a blue necklace from somewhere.
An Ke looked at the blue necklace. It was very beautiful and matched the dress perfectly.
Rarely, An Ke didn't refuse this time. She said with a smile, "Okay."
He Ting smiled and put the matching necklace on An Ke.
"Madam, you're really beautiful. You look even more beautiful with the necklace on," Rui Xin stared at An Ke with wide eyes, making An Ke feel a bit embarrassed.
"Come on, my princess," He Ting said as he held out his hand.
An Ke hesitated for a moment and then placed her hand in He Ting's. Wearing high heels, An Ke wasn't very steady on her feet. She could only walk steadily by holding on to He Ting.
He Ting and An Ke got into the extended Lamborghini. In the car, He Ting couldn't take his eyes off An Ke. She was really charming today.
"Stop looking at me!" An Ke stared at him discontentedly.
"No, you're beautiful."
"Do you mean I wasn't beautiful before?"
"No. You've always been beautiful. It's just that you're especially beautiful today."
