The Undefined Love - Chapter 336
The next day Lifen and Daiyu were anxiously waiting for their friend’s arrival. They need to know things from her point of view, to see what are the things she had thought for her own future.
They knew that Guang was not the type of girl who will lose in front of destiny that is not under her control, rather she will work hard to change it.
“Lifen what do you think? This old man has purposely made the arrangements like this where Guang will not be able to meet us until her engagement ceremony becomes successful. And also look at the guests that are arriving at the venue. They are so many and mostly all of them are from Country A. I never thought that this miser man was capable of spending so much in his life”, Daiyu said as she swept her eyes from the crowd of guests.
“It doesn’t matter Daiyu. Inviting so many guests won’t turn this event from engagement to wedding. And about Guang, she will still have her choice even after the engagement ring gets slid into her finger. A marriage for some type of business deal is not her thing”, she said with a knowing smile as her eyes met with Guang’s father, amidst of greeting the guests.
Zhou Chang Hai excused himself as he took his steps to reach them, “Ms. Li, I hope you help yourself with the drinks and starter” He gestured to a waiter who was serving the drink to come forward and then asked Lifen to pick a glass, “Please!”
His actions made Daiyu roll her eyes. Before this man would never pay any attention to them as they were no longer existing in the same world as him. But now the moment Lifen’s surname has changed he has become so polite and humble towards her.
“You too, Ms. Zhang”, Zhou Chang Hain has seen the girl rolling her eyes and has suppressed his urge to lash out at her. This girl has always got on his nerves. But now he could only be polite with her.
“It’s okay, Uncle Zhou! You don’t have to torture yourself like this”, Daiyu said as she picked at glass of orange soft drink from the tray. She ignored the looks the man gave her after she shot him with his words.
Lifen also ignored her words like those words were very normal and easy to be said as she sipped her drink from the flute.
After quite some moment, Daiyu caught his expressions and her hand flung to her lips in a sorry state, “Oops! Uncle Zhou, did you take my words in the wrong way? O my God I never meant it like that. Maybe it was just a slip of tongue. Before I meant that please don’t bother yourself with us. You must need to pay more attention to other guests. We already know how good you are so there’s nothing to prove us”
Zhou Chang Hai’s face turned more ugly at his words. But there was nothing he could do. He could only cough a little to adjust himself and say, “Yes, you are right. You are close to us. So there is nothing that I should prove to you. Please look around and enjoy. Soon Guang will be arriving then you can meet her”.
Saying this he turned and left.
“Daiyu, you really never let go any opportunity to make such type of mean jokes”
“What are jokes? I didn’t say anything wrong. Remember when we visited Guang’s family house during her birthdays. He has always been so mean to us. And now knowing that you are a Li, he is doing his best to impress you. Whom does he think he can fool now? Hmph!” Daiyu said as she gulped down everything from her glass.
At this moment, loud chattering from the entrance attracted everyone’s attention. Everyone’s gaze got fixed at the door when the man of the day entered with a woman by his side beautifully dressed for the evening.
The pair was none other than Ning Xui Ying and Guang.
Lifen and Daiyu looked at their friend. She was really looking beautiful with all those jewelries and accessories. She has always been a simple girl who barely puts on any make up and now seeing her so beautifully done with makeup both women felt that it was a pity that only at this moment they can see her like this.
Both women went forward to greet her friend but the moment they were about to reach her, Chen Xing came forward and pulled her at a distance from them. “Guang Jiejie, you are looking so beautiful tonight but you shouldn’t have paired this neck piece with this dress. This simple one is just ruining the whole look of yours”
Daiyu’s lips twitched and even Lifen didn’t feel it right. Not only this Chen Xing has pulled their friend away from them but also purposely pointing the meaningless odds to make her look bad in front of so many guests. She has always been like this. Always making herself look superior in the eyes of the people.
Daiyu was ready to make her embarrassed this time, ‘This girl is never going to learn her lesson’. But before she could she heard a smooth voice give a harsh virtual slap to the shameless girl.
“I like my fiancée in her own beauty and not with some made up one. So don’t think there would be any need for your guidance, sister in law. And above that she doesn’t need to go according to other peoples. Her own decision and thoughts are highly appreciated”
The woman who was pretending to be all high and mighty moments before felt utterly humiliated. She purposely said all this in front of him to make him realize that the woman he was marrying has no sense of fashion will never be able to match his taste.
It was Ning Xui Ying. Though his voice was smooth and polite but his gaze was clearly glaring, Chen Xing warned her to never dare to insult his woman.
Lifen smiled on his words and also at the strictness he showed not caring about anyone. His words and eyes gave a clear warning to not only Chen Xing but to everyone to not try any of their tricks on Guang.
As she thought this man would not be a wrong choice for her friend but still at the end the decision of Guang will be the ending shot.
This time Daiyu also looked at Ning Xui Ying in the light of suitability for her friend. All the words of Lifen from last night came to her mind making her think about it one more time. And now she agreed to her words without any doubts.
The two women looked at Guang to see if there was any clue in her expression but there she was standing all expressionless as if moments before she hadn’t heard anything. Her eyes were wandering in the hall as if searching someone between the crowds.
And they knew exactly whom her eyes were searching for. It could be none other than Su Yan. Soon her eyes paused on her two friends and her tense senses got a little calmer. As if she was reassured about something. There was a relief on her face like she had met someone familiar on a foreign land.
What an irony! She was surrounded by her own people but yet she felt alone. In the midst of the crown only two people can give her the sense of security. For some reason her friends felt a little pity for her. Getting emotional, they rushed forward to give her a warm tight hug to her.
“We missed you girl!” Lifen said wrapping her arms around her. “Me too!” Daiyu added as she clung more over the rest to girls.
The people around too felt touched when witnessing this scene. They felt it was really nice to have friends who can be so warm and caring for you.
“I am fine. I am so glad that you guys can come here” she said as she pulled away to look at her friends. Her eyes were a little wet with some unshed tears.
Daiyu pouted looking at it. “Don’t you dare spill those drops on your face. It might ruin your thin layer makeup and the woman who has got an extra layer will become very happy looking at it” She said and then looked at Chen Xing to let the people around know that her words were directed to her.
“You … you … what do you mean by that. Are you implying that I have put on an extra layer of makeup to look beautiful” Chen Xing yelled, not caring about the way she was presenting herself in front of people.
“Chen Xing …” Guang tried to soothe her by giving a glare to Daiyu but her friend ignored her glare cutting her off in the middle, “Huh? I never said so. Did you take my words in that way? But you know people say ‘a guilty conscience needs no accuser’. Haha I forgot you never knew that as you never paid any attention to your studies”
At her words this time, Lifen didn’t suppress her laughter. Ning Xui Ying also smiled at her remarks along with many other guests.
Chen Xing felt humiliated as she eyed Lifen and Daiyu with malicious intent.
