Chapter 58 MatChapter Made in Heaven
All heads turn towards the direction of the voice.
Everyone seemed to be in a trance while looking at the two people at the entrance.
Jiang Yue is wearing what seemed to be a backless black gown that accentuates all the right curves in her body. The gown seemed to sparkle when she moves as it was covered with hand-st.i.tched diamonds.
Her whole image could have graced any billboard or magazine cover. Her black dress emphasized her jade-like skin.
The curls in her ombre hair perfectly shaped her small heart-shaped face.
However, what attracted them the most is her silver-gray eyes.
Fu Jin"s presence is also not something to be ignored. He is wearing a black suit that compliments perfectly into Jiang Yue"s attire. His beautiful face is turned towards Jiang Yue. Looking at her as if he is trying to capture her every move.
The couple walked hand in hand towards Jiang Chanming and the group of businessman.
"Hey is that the black diamond dress that was auctioned for 15 million last month?"
"Oh. The one with rhinestones and diamonds?"
"Wow! What a piece of artwork. I heard it was personally hand-st.i.tched by the designer himself."
"Really? Miss Jiang Yue is really blessed and lucky."
"Look at how the Young Master Fu looks at her? Ahhh... I wish my husband looks at me that way."
"I"m so jealous. Can I have someone like Young Master Fu?"
"So the rumors are true? They are already together?"
"I am very happy for them. Too bad my grandson is not in this country or else I would have asked for an engagement from the w.a.n.g household before Young Master Fu declared his love for her."
"Oh. They both look so good together. Can I take a picture with them?"
"Exactly, they even look better than some movie stars. How lucky."
"Truly a match made in heaven ah."
"Here let"s have a toast to the couple of the night!"
However, the couple"s appearance did not only earn gasp and admiration but also some jealousy and hatred.
Especially from Lu s.h.i.+ and Jiang Mian. This is supposed to be Jiang Mian"s birthday. How dare Jiang Yue steal the spotlight from her?
Lu s.h.i.+"s anger is already making her eyes narrowed, rigid and cold as she continued to stare at Jiang Yue. While Jiang Mian can already taste the blood in her mouth from too much anger. Jiang Mian clenched her fist too hard making her knuckles white. She gritted her teeth. Her whole being exuded animosity towards Jiang Yue.
While the mother and daughter are trying to suppress their rage, Jiang Yue is charmingly smiling at everyone.
"Good evening. My name is Jiang Yue and this is Young Master Fu from the Fu family. We truly apologized for being late." Jiang Yue bowed and give everyone a smile. A smile so beautiful, capable of making a spring flower blossom.
"What a lovely girl!"Mrs. Johnson was the first one who was able to break from the trance. She immediately gives her hands to the beautiful girl in front of her."I am Mrs. Johnson an investor of Jiang Corp.,"
Mrs. Johnson immediately announced this to make Jiang Yue respect her. After all, Jiang Yue is also a part of the Jiang Corp. She wouldn"t dare disrespect an investor to her father"s company, right?
Sensing Mrs. Johnson"s motives, Fu Jin furrowed his brows and give Mrs. Johnson a firm handshake. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Johnson. I am Fu Jin. Jiang Yue"s future husband." he declared.
His sudden declaration earned another gasps and murmurs from the people surrounding them.
Shock is also visible in Jiang Yue"s eyes, and her mouth is slightly parted. Future Husband? Didn"t they just become an official couple yesterday? She can"t help her left eyes from twitching.
This Young Master Fu really likes to make some shortcuts, no?
"Ehem... ahem... Jiang Yue darling, we are so glad you could attend your sisters birthday. We didn"t mean to disturb your busy schedule." Lu s.h.i.+ suddenly gibed. This Jiang Yue came late, now Fu Jin is declaring himself as his future husband?
Are these people trying to kill her from too much anger?
"No problem. I don"t mind it." Jiang Yue"s nonchalant answer made Lu s.h.i.+ want to puke more blood.
The initial purpose of her statement is to have people see Jiang Yue as unfilial and mean for being late in her own sister"s birthday.
She is supposed to tell the reason why she is late and apologized to her and Jiang Mian. Why is it that she seems not to care about this?
Did she not understand the hidden meaning behind Lu s.h.i.+"s words? Why is she making it seems like Lu s.h.i.+ and Jiang Mian should be the one apologizing to her?
"Ah.. right...right. So ah. Why don"t we leave the younger generations to talk while we adults settle our business?" Lu s.h.i.+ sent a hidden glare towards Jiang Mian.
Since Jiang Yue is here then they need to push through with their plans.
Seeing Lu s.h.i.+"s signal, Jiang Mian immediately gives both Fu Jin and Jiang Mian a smile.
"Thank you for coming, Elder Sister, Young Master Fu. Let"s go to the patio. Most people our age are staying there."
"Sure." Jiang Yue answered then she followed Jiang Mian to the patio together with Fu Jin.
On their way to the patio, Fu Jin and Jiang Yue are making small conversations while ignoring Jiang Mian. Jiang Yue is giggling while Fu Jin is smiling at her.
This gestures made Jiang Mian more jealous. Young Master Fu seems to be so smitten with Jiang Yue. Jiang Mian"s mood turned cold while thinking about their plan.
She would badly want to see Fu Jin"s reaction after their plan succeeds.
"Here we are." Jiang Mian said while waving at the group of people with Yu Chen and Lu Qian. They approached the group and Jiang Mian started to introduce every one of them to Jiang Yue and Fu Jin.
Both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin seemed to enjoy the party. They started mingling with some people their age. They seemed to be oblivious of the dark plan made by Lu s.h.i.+ and Jiang Mian.
While Jiang Yue is busy talking with some people Jiang Mian suddenly handed her a gla.s.s of white wine.
"Elder sister. I would like to have a toast with you. Congratulations for being second and for your new relations.h.i.+p with Young Master Fu." Jiang Mian said while smiling.
Jiang Yue look at the gla.s.s of wine in front of her. This people really thought their plan would succeed.
Jiang Yue already know that this drink is laced with drugs that will make her emotions increase tenfolds. This drug will make her act like a drunk and will heighten her emotions. Meaning she will be ten times meaner and louder.
This is all a part of their plan. She already noticed of Yu Chen"s disappearance.
Jiang Mian actually did this while Fu Jin is on his way to get their drinks. Jiang Yue is practically alone.
"Thank You that is so sweet of you. But I don"t drink anything with alcohol." She declines.
"Elder Sister this is a sparkling wine. Meaning there is absolutely no alcohol in this drink."
Jiang Yue did not say anything, she only smiled at Jiang Mian. This girl is really persistent in trying to trap her.
"Okay." She said as she accepted the gla.s.s of wine. "To the future." Jiang Yue added as she raised her gla.s.s.
"To the future." Jiang Mian answered. Then she gives her sister a toast before drinking all the contents of her gla.s.s.
Jiang Mian watched Jiang Yue all the contents of her gla.s.s as well.
Not too long, Fu Jin arrived and give the drink that he just brought for Jiang Yue. Seeing that Jiang Yue"s face is starting to turn red, Fu Jin immediately frowned.
When Jiang Yue saw the gla.s.s in Fu Jin"s hands, she immediately drank it. She can"t help it. She is feeling so thirsty.
"Jin, I seem to be feeling a little dizzy." Jiang Yue said as she held Fu Jin"s arms.
"Jiang Yue you must be drunk. Why do you even drink if you can"t take it? Come, I will accompany you to one of the rooms to rest." Lu Qian volunteered. She is still not aware of Jiang Mian"s plans. But Lu s.h.i.+ instructed her to bring Jiang Yue to one of the rooms on the second floor if she is feeling drunk or uncomfortable.
"I will accompany you."Fu Jin answered as he looked at Jiang Yue, his beautiful face full of unmasked worry.
"Young Master Fu, you can"t accompany her in a room. You are still unmarried after all." Lu Qian insisted.
Jiang Yue pouted after hearing Lu Qian"s statement. Then she secretly winked at Fu Jin.
"Okay, My head really hurts. Maybe I just need to rest." Jiang Yue said. "Jin, stay here and wait for me. Okay?"
Fu Jin nodded and walked both of them into the stairs that will lead them to the second floor of the house.
Jiang Yue then reluctantly followed Lu Qian while trying to maintain a steady walk.
Seeing this, Lu Qian sneered inwardly. After yesterday, she thought that this woman is smart. However, if she is smart, then why would she drink if she can"t even take a little alcohol?
"We"re here." Lu Qian unceremoniously said. She never liked Jiang Yue, but her aunt forced her to do this ah.
Jiang Yue immediately lie on the bed. Seeing Jiang Yue closed her eyes, Lu Qian immediately made her way out of the room.
However, the whole room suddenly turned dark before she could even reach the door.
Then the last thing she remembered was feeling numbed all over her body before she felt her consciousness left her.
