Chapter 811 - The man who protected her as she grew up had abandoned her.
Kachak, kachak!
An elite in a black suit held a DSLR in his hands and took successive shots of the couple waltzing on the dance floor.
Despite the incessant flashes of the camera, none of the guests or waiters noticed it.
One reason was that this man was quite far from the crowd, and the second reason was that everyone’s attention was on the pair; therefore, how would anyone have the extra energy to notice him?
Hence, just like this, this man openly and daringly took pictures of the couple.
…
“So beautiful!”
She was always the most special woman in his life! Now…
She pursed her lips tightly as she stared at the leaving couple.
Just as the couple was about to leave her sight, she reached out to stop the man.
Who would have expected that… the man would dodge her, though?
Her hand, thus, hung awkwardly midair, looking very decrepit and pitiful.
Being the obvious spotlight of the gathering, many people in the hall witnessed this scene.
In their eyes, there was a mixture of mockery, pity, and schadenfreude.
Pei Ge, who was being led away by the man, also witnessed this scene.
While she found the woman to be a little pitiful, she neither took pity on her or moved to help her.
She just kept walking away with the man as though she had seen nothing.
“Ziming…”
Qiao Jingyun watched the man grow far away. Suddenly, she felt that the man, who had accompanied and protected her as she grew up, had abandoned her…
She could not help but reach out her hand, seemingly wanting to catch him.
However, he was already too far away, so how could she possibly catch him?
Her actions were pitiful yet laughable.
Thus, it caused another wave of whispers and ruckus in the banquet hall.
“Qiao Jingyun is rather pitiful. She used to say that she’s young master Ji’s girlfriend!”
“That’s right. Still, she has benefited a lot from being by his side all these years!”
“Indeed! With the Ji family’s help, her family’s climb up the social ladder has been extremely smooth! They truly benefited a lot!”
“Still… Now that Ji Group’s heir has a girlfriend, will his family still support the Qiao family like before?”
