Chapter 925 - Just Some Fun Talks.

While Li Xue was herself very unsure of what was happening when her phone beeped with a text message. Pulling her phone out of her clutch, she went to check the message only to find it coming from Feng Yi Lan. 

[Feng Yi Lan: Girl, I heard my Devil Brother got you the renowned piece of Elvis. It would be a waste if it doesn't get proper entrance. So, a small arrangement from me. Go on, and snatch away all the happiness from that Sying witch. I am sure on her big day, eve pair of eyes would be just staring at you]

Reading the message, Li Xue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Su Fai who was standing on the side as well peeked to read the same and couldn't help but shake his head. 

"So this was her plan. Must like the masterpiece of her brain. Anyway, since it's already like this, let's not delay it. Let's make it successful. Come let's get in first. I will switch on the flashlight. Give me your phone." He said before taking the phone in his hand and showing the way inside the venue.

***

While inside the big hall prepared for the engagement, Zheng Wenting and Wen Sying stood in the middle while several guests were coming to give them their greetings. There were not just the people from high society but also various other models from Oriental Spark and Galaxy Light. 

Everyone was just circling Wen Sying to show how great she was looking in her gorgeous outfit and how envious they were feeling of her luck. Most of them were Wen Sying's teammates who have always fluttered around her, catering to her words.

"Sying, you are really so lucky. CEO Zheng and you look like such a nice pair together. I could bet none could match beside him better than you." 

"Yes, Sying. That's true. You two are looking like a match made in heaven. Would you believe it if I say that I was waiting for this day more than you? I am so happy for you. But after getting engaged, don't forget us. We are your friends and you should look after us as you have always done."

"Haha … what are you saying? She is not like Li Xue who would move forward, forgetting her friends behind. Sying would never be like her."

"Sying knows to value her friends, unlike Li Xue. See, she still holds arrogance. She was been invited here, yet she is not here. Such a bi*…" 

Before those words could get completed, Wen Sying coughed already knowing what it could be. Her eyes turned to look on her side at Zheng Wenting who clearly was looking unhappy hearing Li Xue being mentioned like that. She was sure, if she wouldn't have coughed, the man would have jumped to let everyone know how much he still cares for Li Xue. 

"MaoMao, you are again repeating the same thing. Didn't you forget the last time I asked you not to mention Li Xue like this? I and Wenting don't like it." She said and her words and expressions were enough to make the girl understand her words. 

Sighing, all of them nodded but that was not before one of them, MaoMao added some more of words, "Sying you are too gracious to say that. Otherwise, if it were me, I would have never thought of Li Xue in such kind light." She said and others around hummed in response, nodding and accepting it the way as if nothing could be more factual than this.

In between those praises, finally, Wen Sying was also feeling that something was good for her in the day. She would stick more onto Zheng Wenting's arms to make people realize how right their thoughts were.

But as if her happiness was doomed to be short-lived, just when she got her smile back, the lights went off, enveloping everything in darkness. 

People were not expecting it that way in a place like Emerald De-Luxe, so when it happened little whispers filled everywhere making it loud enough to echo in the hall. 

"What is this? Is there a problem? Why is there a sudden switch-off of the lights?

"Hold on, everyone. There must be some issue with the light. Sorry for the inconvenience, but our people are looking into it. Soon it would be sorted, till then, if not a problem, we request you to switch on the phone's flashlights". To address the problem, soon a hotel staff came and apologized. 

And at his address, everyone switched on their flashlights. 

"Did you see that, Sying? Even Li Xue's name is ominous. We have just mentioned her in our talks and the lights got the problem. You can't defend her anymore." Getting the opportunity, MaoMao didn't hold herself back from saying it. And her words a kind of impressed Wen Sying. 

But from the side, Zheng Wenting had enough. Pulling his arm away from Wen Sying, he was ready to let the girls know the right way of talking but before he could, a voice came to interrupt from the distance, making its way through the darkness. 

"MaoMao, since you speak so confidently, I am sure you might have a reason behind it. But with your words just my talk was enough to start the ominous sequence here, so what would you say about my arrival. Will it break their relationship already?" 

Someone said and both her voice and words attracted people's attention towards the entrance. They saw a few cameras flashing while someone entered, but the face wasn't clear. It was just that someone was holding a flashlight beside her and they could make out it was a man. 

To see who it was more clearly, out of curiosity, soon everyone turned their flashlights to look in the direction, only to find dazzling majesticness coming into the light. 

Whoa! People gasped, unable to think what the shimmering sparkles about. Even Mao Mao and Wen Sying were taken aback as for some reason they had already guessed who the person was. And their guess wasn't proven wrong as the moment they caught their thoughts, the light returned flashing the charming face of Li Xue to everyone. 

And everyone was stunned. The most affected one was, of course, Zheng Wenting. Even though he tried well to conceal it, he wasn't able to. His eyes weren't just leaving the face of Li Xue and seeing her so nonchalant, his heart was just breaking inside. Was she really so happy forgetting him? That even seeing him here today with Wen Sying, she was so calm to the fact. 

While Li Xue's gaze never turned to loom at Zheng Wenting. She was too focused on the group with whom Wen Sying was standing. 

Smiling at them, most specifically at MaoMao, she drew herself close. The girl still looked the same. She neither learned anything from their last encounter from reunion nor after getting the beating of Feng Yi Lan's bodyguards. A perfect example of an unbending stick that would prefer to break and lose all its existence but not bend and accept the things that were meant to be right. 

"What happened? You didn't reply to me?" Li Xue asked in a soft voice that meant no harm but it still flinched the girl to step back. 

"I … I …" Mao Mao was at loss. She wanted to say something but the moment she saw Li Xue the slaps from the bodyguards flashed in front of her eyes. And her hands went on their own to cover her cheeks. "I was just having some talk with Wen Sying. It was just some fun talks.. Don't mind me."
