Chapter 143 - The Engagement (2)

Feeling encouraged, she took one step forward and said, "Yang Xinyu, please relax. Shall I get you some wine? I would suggest that you call off this engagement, as that wretched girl will never come. She had the audacity to behave like a vamp on this occasion. She didn't even think about your reputation." Said Ying Yue, still speaking loud enough for everyone to hear.

The Chairman, on the other hand, was feeling extremely miserable. He had taken so much trouble to plan and execute this event and Wu Lina didn't even come. The entire evening was falling apart. His relatives were snickering. He felt all the more bad for his son. Yang Xinyu had been so looking forward to this occasion. He just didn't want his son to suffer anymore. He looked at his son's face. He was emitting a cold aura. He hadn't spoken a word to Ying Yue. Feeling dejected, the Chairman went to sit on a nearby chair and held his head in his hands. Perhaps his wife was right. Perhaps Wu Lina brought misfortune.

"Yang Xinyu, what are you waiting for?" asked Ying Yue, clutching his arm. She was taking her chances and moving forward with her plan as fast as possible. She was pressurizing Yang Xinyu to accept her back by making Wu Lina a vicious woman. She knew that Wu Lina wouldn't dare to come for the engagement so had to take full advantage of the time.

When she enveloped her arm around his arm people in the party again broke into a murmur of gossip.

"They look so pretty together."

"Yang Xinyu must make her wear the ring. She is looking perfect like a bride."

"Yes, he must teach a lesson to Wu Lina."

"She is such a heartless and useless woman."

"She used Yang Xinyu to climb up the society."

The gossip wouldn't die down and the Chairman started feeling miserable. He got up to announce that the engagement was cancelled. It was already 9pm and there was no chance that Wu Lina would show up. He had never suffered so much insult in his life. He had gone to such lengths to bring the two of them together.

Just as he was taking the mic in his hand to announce, the main door opened and a young and beautiful girl dressed in pale peach dress entered. She was followed by a graceful woman in her qipao. The girl was looking like a fairy that had descended on the earth to bless the people around. She looked ethereal. All her accessories were complimenting her petite figure. All the guests turned towards her as her beauty mesmerized them. The Chairman breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Yue was very fl.u.s.tered the moment she saw Wu Lina. She was not expecting her to show up at all. Everything was going so well. Yang Xinyu was about to accept her back in his life.

Wu Lina walked towards them. All of them were looking at her as she walked. She saw that Ying Yue was still hanging on the arms of Yang Xinyu.

"I am sorry for being late," said Wu Lina with a sad face.

Before she could say anything Ying Yue shouted, "Wu Lina, you dare to show your face here today. Now don't blame me for being ruthless if I reveal your truth in front of anyone."

Almost everyone in the party became all the more interested. Who the hell was this mysterious woman? What was the truth about her? What was the family hiding?

Ying Yue spoke out louder this time, "Yang Xinyu, before you bring this girl into your family, you should know that her father belongs to an underworld mafia. She is not the child of Wu Yi-Zheng but her father is Vladimir Yankov, who is the don of Bulgaria. She is a bastard child. Being a reputable organization, you cannot marry this girl. She is not suited for you. If you don't believe me, you can ask her mother."

Wu Lina hung her head low, tears were streaming out of her eyes. Ying Yue demanded her, "Tell them, isn't it the truth?"

Wu Lina nodded, "Yes, it is the truth. My father's name is Vladimir Yankov and he belongs to the underworld. But I didn't know anything about it until a few days back. I am sorry, Yang Xinyu, but that is the truth." Wu Lina started sobbing hysterically now. "If you want, I will leave you now."

Wenqian, who was standing right beside her, started patting Wu Lina. She held her daughter's hand.

Yang Xinyu was absolutely quiet all the time. Seeing his demeanor towards Wu Lina, Ying Yue was all the more encouraged. "Yes, leave us now. Let us live peacefully. Go back to your father in Bulgaria. We don't want you here."

Wenqian couldn't hold it any further. She pulled her daughter and started walking towards the exit.

"Wu Lina!" shouted Yang Xinyu. "Stop right there!"

He turned towards Ying Yue who was smiling, stared at her for a second and then removed her hand from his arm and shoved it rudely down. He walked up to Wu Lina and before she could say anything, he hugged her tightly.

Yang Xinyu lifted Wu Lina's chin and said, "You thought I would leave you because of your father? Do you think so less of me? I already know about your father. I had my doubts when I saw those black cars in front of your house. So I got some investigation done. If your father is underground mafia, I am no less. You have only seen the bright side of Yang Xinyu. Do you want to see my dark side?"
