Zhou Mingyu was feeling extremely happy because of the lavish party which her father had thrown for her. She knew he had some ulterior motive to threw that party but she did not care.
She had invited many of her school and university friends, her compet.i.tive and friends from the film industry were also invited. She wanted to boast among them with her beauty and this lavish party.
Her father had told her that Su Yuchen was also invited at the party and he would attend the party for sure. It had boasted her ego a little more. Now using him, she could brag about him among her guests.
Also, she planned to impress Su Yuchen in this party. Only for him, she had worn million worth party gown, a gold and silver tiara on her head and most expensive jewellery which her mother owned. She had also applied tons of makeup on her face. Looking this beautiful, she wanted to win Su Yuchen. She also wanted Xin Mei to feel envious of her.
She wished to win this lottery named Su Yuchen with her good looks with a good girl impression!
There was a gloating smile on the lips of Zhou Mingyu when she entered in the party hall. She walked towards her friend"s circle and took their greetings with a proud smile on her lips.
She felt happiness whenever her friend or anyone praised her for her dress or this party.
"Ah, I didn"t want this lavish party," Zhou Mingyu acted as if she was very humble and down to earth. "It is father, he wanted to throw a lavish party for his princess. He had specially invited Mister Su in the party because of my wish."
She beamed brightly and looked at her friends who were looking at her with shock. It was not like her friends were not rich or so but everyone knew it was not easy to invite Su Yuchen to a person"s birthday party.
"Mingyu, do you know mister Su?" one of her friends asked with excitement evident in her voice.
"Off-course." Zhou Mingyu shrugged as if this question was not to be asked.
Most of her friends started to fawn around Zhou Mingyu when they heard her claim that she knew Su Yuchen. Zhou Mingyu was feeling over the moon upon hearing their praises from her friends. It had been so long that someone had feed her with praises.
"Senior Zhou, do you know mister Su?" Xin Mei walked in the centre of the crowd and looked at Zhou Mingyu. Silence fell upon the group when they saw Xin Mei whose presence was not any less than an Angel.
Everyone started to look at her from top to toe, appreciating whatever she was wearing.
"If so, can we expect your dance with him at the party? What do you think about this girls?" Xin Mei smiled gently and looked at her old cla.s.smates who came out from their thoughts when they heard Xin Mei.
"Yes, yes, Mingyu, can we expect your couple dance with him? It will become the highlight of the night." One of her friends spoke. Many other friends supported her.
"Sure," Zhou Mingyu answered confidently. She was sure that if she would coyishly ask him for a dance, he would not reject the birthday girl. She only had to send some seductive looks in his direction.
Xin Mei smirked when she heard the answer of Zhou Mingyu. She looked at other girls who were excitedly chirping about the dance of Zhou Mingyu and Su Yuchen.
Xin Mei left the group and stepped aside. She took a gla.s.s of drink and slowly started to take a sip from it. Her eyes were slowly moving around in the hall to see who had come to attend the party.
On other side, girls who were surrounding Zhou Mingyu started to gossip about Xin Mei.
"Is she Xin Mei from our batch? She is looking so beautiful. For once, I seriously failed to recognize her."
"True, I also wouldn"t have recognized her if not for seeing her face on social media and television. She has changed so much."
"Look at her dress and her earrings. Do you think the diamond in her earring is real? If yes, then it must have cost her a fortune to buy them."
"I think it"s real. Why would she wear a fake?"
Zhou Mingyu clutched her fist when she heard how her friends were praising Xin Mei in front of her. Her dress, her makeup, and jewellery, everything looked dull in front of Xin Mei who was s.h.i.+ning bright like a star.
Zhou Mingyu clutched her wine gla.s.s hard and gritted her teeth. Slyness appeared in her eyes. She forced a smile on her lips.
"Why are we debating here if the diamond is real or not? Let"s ask her directly. She is a good friend. I am sure she will not mind us asking." She proposed with a smile on her lips. She thought the diamond was fake for sure. Xin Mei could not afford such expensive diamonds.
"Xin Mei, I am so happy that you are here?" Zhou Mingyu smiled. "Why did you leave our group after saying only a single sentence? You did not even wish me birthday."
Zhou Mingyu acted as if she and Xin Mei were still in good terms. Xin Mei sighed and looked at her.
"I come out to have this gla.s.s of wine." Xin Mei smiled and raised her gla.s.s. "By the way, happy birthday Zhou Mingyu. I pray that in this upcoming year, you will get whatever you have given to me in our long term friends.h.i.+p."
Xin Mei smiled and Zhou Mingyu froze. She knew Xin Mei was cursing her in a form of blessing. Zhou Mingyu looked at her cla.s.smates who were still smiling at her, so she also forced a smile on her lips.
"Before I forget, let me give you your birthday present."
Xin Mei smirked and pulled out a small box from her clutch and presented it to Zhou Mingyu. Their friends looked at Xin Mei with antic.i.p.ation to know what was she going to gift Zhou Mingyu!
