Fu Lan was greeting the guests at the banquet hall’s gate with a pleasant smile, unknown to the commotion of the outside world. If she knew about Xu y being President Xu, she’d have already puked blood with anger.
As soon as Xu y appeared before her, Fu Lan’s smile stiffened but because of Ye Jie, she had to maintain her pleasant look. But her contorted face made her look ugly. Fu Lan smiled brightly at Ye Jie and disregarded the presence of Xu y.
Since she was being such an oblivious person, Xu y decided to introduce herself to not just her but to all the people gathered around her. There was no harm in doing that at all. If anything, it was ti for her to show her Oscar Winning performance.
"Dear stepmother!" Xu y spoke louder than necessary catching the attention of a lot of people around as she pulled Fu Lan in for a hug. It was tight hug making people feel like they were really close. Xu Cheng who stood by Fu Lan’s side had a look of askance as he looked at his daughter’s ever-changing mood. "Did I ntion, this ugly look on your face really suits you. It actually complints your ugly soul." Xu y whispered near her ear and keeping her sickly sweet smile, she pulled back. Her comnt made Fu Lan’s face black like tar.
"Stepmother, you look so gorgeous in that qipao that I’m super jealous. Oh, wait! I think people might think that you’re my elder sister," hearing Xu y’s words a lot of guests around playfully laughed. She was really getting better at this complint stuff.
"Aw! She’s such a sweetheart." An old lady remarked looking at Xu y and Ye Jie could only praise his wife in his heart. He greeted Xu Cheng politely with respect and stood by his side.
"Stepmother, you must be tired of greeting the guests. Forgive this unfilial daughter for coming so late. Leave the rest to this unfilial daughter of yours. You should go and accompany my little sister, she must need you right now." Xu y offered as she urged Fu Lan to leave.
Keeping her stiff smile, Fu Lan replied, "No, no. You’re a guest y. How can I ask you to do this stuff?" Fu La tried to push Xu y away but today, Xu y was the pest. She wasn’t going anywhere!
Xu y gasped as she held her hand over her heart and spoke ruefully, "Stepmother, just because I’m married that doesn’t an that I’m a guest now. I’m still your y. I’m still the daughter you raised with so much love. And I still consider you as my family." To add another level of effect, her voice choked as tears swam in Xu y’s eyes making her seem pitiful to the guests.
"Aiyo, such a sweet girl she is." Another lady spoke up.
"Fu Lan, let the young lady take your place. You should go to check on Liqing." Another old lady suggested.
Seeing them all taking Xu y’s side, Fu Lan seethed in fury but she could only swallow it back down. With a belly full of anger, she turned to leave.
Out of nowhere, Xu y stuck her foot in her way making her trip over. "Ah!" Fu Lan scread as she fell to the ground on all four.
Xu y muffled her laugh as she held her arms acting anxiously. "Stepmother, are you alright? Aiyo! Are you that excited to see Liqing that you tripped over your own qipao?" Soone giggled from the side making Fu Lan’s rage to reach a pinnacle. "Walk carefully! We wouldn’t want you to get hurt now, would we?"
"You!" Fu Lan gritted her teeth and pointed a finger at her.
Xu y held her pointed finger and whispered softly, "What? Wanna take revenge? Better yet take care of your daughter. I have plenty of surprises for you to watch. Her poor heart might not be able to bear this much attack from my side." Xu y winked devilishly and helped her up.
"Wow! That was so level of acting!" Xu Cheng comnted when Fu Lan was out of hearing range.
Xu y covered her mouth with her hand in shock. "Dad! How can you say that? I was trying to be such a good daughter to my lovely stepmother." Her sarcasm was completely unmasked making Xu Cheng shook his head.
"You should go! She’ll keep looking this way," Xu y told her father and made him leave her alone with Ye Jie.
"Ah-Jie, was I good?" She looked up to Ye Jie as if asking for praises and approval.
"Baby," Ye Jie fixed her strands of hair and said, "You’re always good at whatever you do and I love your way of doing things."
Xu y grinned like a Cheshire cat. "Sheesh! Ah-Jie always knows what to say. Such a sweet mouth!"
"Well, how do you know that my mouth is sweet? Have you tasted it?" Ye Jie asked keeping a solemn look.
"I certainly have tasted it. It’s mine to taste anyway. And I must say, it’s too addicting." Xu y replied sassily.
"But baby," Ye Jie ca closer to her face, "You haven’t tasted it tonight. So, you really can’t tell whether it’s sweet or not?" Although his face was serious, Xu y’s heart was not. It was in complete disarray because of his words.
Both were unbeknownst to the fact that a few reporters had made their way inside the venue and were snapping away the PDA monts between the couple with zeal. It was like hitting jackpot for them. Xu y’s blush was priceless while Ye Jie’s smile was out of this world.
"Oi! We are here to take photos of the top star Zhang Jingjing." The reporter smacked his partner’s head.
"Forget her! She’s old news. They, on the other hand, have such good vibes. I must say, they are better looking than those celebrities." The partner replied as he kept clicking photos.
They both complinted each other so well that even the reporter had no argunt to make. The way they looked at each other seed like as if there were flowers blooming all around them leaving them in their own cocoon.
