The hotel looked like a palace. On the walls were various artworks and paintings of prominent artists. The antiques looked like they had been bought for millions of dollars. The interior alone could make one feel like they were in heaven already.
Someone on a white sneakers strode down the hallway freely and stood in front of a grand door before stretching out a pa.s.s.
One of the two doormen stationed there, took the pa.s.s and gave the person a look over.
If not because of the pa.s.s, they would have chased the person away but they had to let the person through even though they were curious why someone would dress this way to this kind of grand occasion. How did the person even get here in the first place?
The door opened to reveal a grand party going on. One look, and one could tell that the people there were the Socialites and tyc.o.o.ns of country B. Sounds of laughter and soft words could be heard everywhere.
Seeing these kind of people together in a place was rather difficult and when the opportunity came, people tend to use it to the fullest: Suck up to those higher than them in the social ranking, make connections and even look for a suitable partner for their kids or for themselves. Not to mention the businessmen, they needed this the most.
Walking farther into the hall, they were curious glances but the person did not stop walking and only stopped in front of a young woman clinging unto a man, they were both having a happy conversation with another couple.
When the both of them saw the person, they were obviously shocked to the bones.
"Wh..at are...you doing here" Liu weiyoung stammered as she let go of Mo Jinyong"s hand unconsciously.
"How...how did... you get here?" Jinyong asked trying to maintain his composure. He was obviously uncomfortable. Sara looked at the both of them fiercely. They shuddered when they saw the look in her eyes. It was as if she was sucking out their souls.
Sara w.a.n.g was putting on a black high-neck sweats.h.i.+rt, a blue Jean and white sneakers. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail which made her facial features visible: Her black round eyes, pointed little nose and small rosy lips. she was not wearing any make up or jewelry but she looked prettier than most of the ladies present there with heavy makeups.
To the normal world, her present appearance was normal. But being amongst these kind of people, she looked out of place and odd, not that she cared though. She was actually here for something else. "Who"s explaining first?" She looked at the both of them. Although she asked calmly, they both felt rather uncomfortable.
"Let"s talk outside" Jinyong tried to pull her out but she quickly pushed his hand away. " Doesn"t it feel like a soap opera where you cheat on your girlfriend with her friend?" She was still calm when she asked.
"When I saw the invite, I thought it was a joke. A really expensive joke. I really had no idea you were both close but who would have thought....?" she let her words trail off as she glared at them.
Weiyoung was so nervous. She didn"t know what to do or say. She only had to put her hope on Jinyong to help resolve this. But Jinyong on the other hand was praying for the ground to open up and swallow him. His gaze unconsciously fell on Li Muchen. The last thing he needed was for Li Muchen to have a bad impression of him. Because if he withdrew his a.s.sistance at this point, his parents, especially his mother, would kill him for sure. He didn"t even want to talk about his grandparents.
They had spent millions just to have this engagement ceremony at the CEO Li"s Hotel. It even took him a great deal to be able to invite Li Muchen to his own hotel to grace their engagement ceremony. After putting in enough effort, the last thing he needed was any form of trouble or obstacle.
Li Muchen on the other hand was observing them closely. His gaze was fixed on Sara. He felt that he had seen her before somewhere and had been trying to recall where exactly.
Although, the people of the higher cla.s.s always liked to act respectably, it didn"t stop them from being human. They had all stopped whatever they were doing previously to focus on the three people there. Some where even murmuring among themselves. They could not let go of a juicy gossip!
Jinyong felt uneasy when he noticed all of these. He looked at Weiyoung. His gaze seemed to have communicated something to her. Then he turned back to face Sara. "Who are you and who paid you to do this?" He asked angrily.
Finding an opening, Weiyoung also joined. "Yes, please leave! Here is not a place for you to be" Sara still remained as composed as ever.
She smirked at the both of them.
"What a wonderful performance, you pair of s.h.i.+theads!"
Hearing the word "s.h.i.+thead" something seemed to snap in Li Muchen"s brain and he suddenly remembered where he had met her.
TWO YEARS BACK
"I won"t repeat myself again. Let me in now!" Sara ordered as she looked at the two heavy-built men that were blocking her entry into the room.
"We don"t want to hurt you miss, so please leave. We were not informed of a visitor" One of them said sounding annoyed.
"Then go ask Li Minde if he knows me or not. You might regret it if I leave without him meeting me" She threatened.
After a minute of hesitation, one of them went inside while the other stared daggers at her.
They were eight people in the bar room minus Li Minde. There was Changru, who was clinging unto him, Three of his Childhood friends who also had female counterparts by their sides, and his older cousin Li Muchen; who seemed liked he wasn"t interested in the whole thing as he casually took a sip from his gla.s.s of wine.
The bodyguard quickly went to Minde and was in the middle of whispering something to him when the door was suddenly flung open.
