As she remembered the past, her grip on the wine gla.s.s tightened. She looked at Jinyong beside her and forced a smile at him that he didn"t bother to return as he had a lot going through his mind. "What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d". She wouldn"t have bothered with him if he had not dated Sara.
In the past when she had noticed that he had a thing for her, she didn"t bother playing hard to get even though she didn"t love him. Her heart had still been with Li Minde. But she had agreed to date him and even gave him a condition —He mustn"t tell Sara about it or break up with Sara. She wanted to watch Sara"s broken reaction when she saw their wedding photograph emailed to her. It was worth it. Sacrificing her own happiness for Sara"s sadness. She wanted Sara to know how it felt like to be discarded. She wanted her to be heartbroken. But it had not gone according to plan even after making the engagement party as low-key as possible so she wouldn"t get a whiff of what was going on. Even the papers had not carried it. But not only had Sara not reacted the way she wished she had, she was having fun with Muchen who was having fun in ruining her family. Even when she tried to pay him back with Heya"s video incident. It didn"t work out. His pig of a sister even got a fan club in return. Her supposed uncle-in-law to-be had even brought her to his Father"s birthday looking all dolled up. Her face burned with rage and jealousy as she fixed her gaze on Sara. She had gotten an inside information that Mo Aida was trying to matchmake her son, Jinyong with Song Changyu"s niece, Yang Aishu. Especially now that her family was in turbulent times. The fact that their engagement had been low-key made it easier to end everything easily. She scoffed. Did they think they were going to get rid of her easily? Even if she planned to break up with Jinyong had she had earlier decided. She couldn"t do so now. Her family was in crisis and they had specifically told her to be in the Mo family"s good grace, that was another reason she came here tonight. They had to stick with them no matter what. Till they found their feet again.
She looked at Jinyong again. After that night where he almost strangled her, they had not met each other privately. He had totally ignored her. She had wanted to pour out her heart tonight and blame Sara for all of her misfortune. The wine spilling incident had been her doing. She had been waiting patiently inside the inner restroom for her to come. And just the moment she was about to step out, she heard Sara speak with Jinyong. She tried to suppress her anger as she recalled their conversation till when Muchen entered. She was not going to let anyone discard her. Never! She was going to destroy all of them one step at a time.
"You are losing focus" Dexi told Sara.
She realised she had not been paying much attention to Changyu any longer and had been staring at Muchen who was speaking with an even prettier lady than Hui Qingqing. She sighed. "Does he only work with women?" Her thought was interrupted by Mo Aida who had a big smile on stage.
"Before the toast, I would like to say something" One hand held a mike while the other held a wine gla.s.s. She was not a tall woman. Her long red dinner gown revealed her hourgla.s.s figure. She had short hair which perfectly suits her face. And for a woman in her 40s, she looked younger.
Everyone paid attention to her from their various tables. Sara"s eyes drifted to where Changyu was sitting. She had been receiving countless greetings since she got there. Dexi kept a.s.suring her that he would make the introduction as soon as the greeting stopped.
"I would also like to say something" Sara recognised the voice and looked back on stage to see Weiyoung there. She had no idea when Weiyoung got there and took another mike. Mo Aida stared at her wondering what she was up to. Weiyoung gave them all a warm smile and bowed in greeting before she spoke.
"I am Weiyoung from the Liu family." She paused and looked at Aida beside her. "I didn"t think it was nice to not wish my grandfather in law a happy birthday after everyone else gave their wishes"
Everyone who belonged to the Mo family had all said their wishes earlier. Most of the young ladies who just followed their parents there and had set their eyes on Jinyong were disappointed to find that he was engaged already.
Aida panicked when she heard her. What was Weiyoung trying to do? She unconsciously looked at Changyu"s direction. Changyu was watching but didn"t look curious or bothered, as if nothing concerned her.
Weiyoung liked the reaction of everyone. It was exactly how she had imagined. She looked at Sara"s direction. And their eyes met. Weiyoung offered her a smile as she thought "I"ll be sure to ruin you soon". Then her gaze met Jinyong"s whose eyes were bulged out. Her smile didn"t leave her face when she continued. "I am using this medium to invite you all to my wedding with the Mo family"s Jinyong. The wedding would be taking place soon" She paused for a bit. Not bothering to look at anyone else but Aida who was beside her "We have to hurry it up so I can fit well into my wedding gown." She faked a blush and rubbed her belly conspicuously to send a message to the crowd. A message they all understood.
And at that same time, Song Changyu looked at Sara"s direction.
