Chapter 26 - Fan Daiyu Vs Lu Jia

As soon as the feast was prepared the entire family got occupied with the supper, Second Elder conspired at a great deal for Li family to tie a knot with Yue but now this probably won't be lost long. Yue Wan didn't even glance at Li Rong once and Yue Yeager declined his proposal in front of everyone. Additionally the First Elder doesn't have a decent impact on Li Rong as well, so with a pleasant voice, he stated, "First Brother, as you can see it's been a year since we made a verbal agreement about Li's marriage with Yue, I think it's the time to make a decision."

Fifth Elder chuckled, and asked, "Second Brother, you do know that forced alliance is a taboo in our family."

Second Elder knew that today's interaction between those kids caused uncertainty, with a forced smile, "Li Rong adores Yue Wan, it's just the youngsters these day fights for silly things," he made a point like it was a couple's argument so they shouldn't barge about it.

First Elder sat at the table which was explicitly arranged for his five Brothers. When all are seated, he spoke with a stern voice, "nobody has the rights to interfere with Yue's personal life," he glanced behind the Second Elder, "and don't think everybody is visually impaired or else I will ensure you are," he warned directly at Second Elder.

Lu Jia, who was tailing them rooted in her spot, with a confused eye, 'why are they looking at me?' yet, she found that even her keeper was frowning at her, with a lump in her stomach, she fled from them.

Lu Meili attempted to locate an opening to converse with Yue Xiang yet somebody meddles it, right then and there she felt a pain near her elbow, like it was being pinched, "who is th? Ah, Aunt Lu, it's hurting please stop." Lu Meili cried in a soft tone while her eyes were teared.

"Do you feel pain? It pains me too on seeing things which belong to me is used by others." Lu Jia screamed with a low voice. Lu Meili bites her lip in the fear of crying out loud, and said, "I will distract Xiang."

Lu Jia with a smiling expression smoothed Lu Meili's elbow delicately however, her voice was stony, "time is limited." And then she disregarded her in the garden to complete the following arrangement.

Lu Meili shut her eyes to control her emotions, then she picked up a juice and strolled near Yue Yeager, "Young Master, please forgive my improper conduct before," with the sugary voice she expressed.

Yue Xiang was having a business deal talk with his new investors so he ignored her, but out of the blue she sprinkles the beverage in her grasp, "ah..." everyone exclaimed.

Lu Meili laid her eyes down in guilt and asked him in concern, "I am so sorry, my foot just stumbled, if it's not too much trouble pardon me, Young Master," while concealing her shrewd smile.

A buddy of Yue Xiang helps him with a tissue and ordered the servant to give a new juice to that, Miss, "it's alright, Miss, if you don't mind, please have this juice as a compensation." He doesn't want Yue Xiang to lash out in public so that he stepped in purposely.

Yue Xiang didn't fancy in wearing a juice dress till the party ends, so he pardoned himself and went to his room not before he frowned at Lu Meili with hatred, 'they are up to something.'

---at the same time with Yue Wan---

Yue Wan turned into a trophy between her Father and Aunt Shen, the two of them are remained on either side of her by glaring daggers. Aunt Shen in a motherly mode, "Little Wan, let your beautiful Aunty pick some nutrition meal for you." In contradiction, "Daddy knew Little Wan's favorite foods, so choose daddy!" Yue Yeager replied.

Mr. Shen was trying to hold his laughter, as he was reluctant to outrage his better half. "How about you both pick the meals while I will be the judge and the winner will spend time with Little Wan."

"I am ready," Mrs. Shen was all fired up.

"I accept the challenge and stop calling Little Wan affectionately." Yue Yeager glared at him. Mr.Shen sweatdropped and followed them, 'He might get rank 1 in dotting father.'

Yue Wan signed in helplessness, "Come on Little Bao, they won't quit down easily, let's kill time by strolling the garden."

Fan Daiyu was waiting for Yue Wan to be single as a stalker, and an opportunity approached her, "Yue Wan, wait a minute." Fan Daiyu in a hurry used high voice and so some guest peeked at her for calling Young Miss Yue by name.

Yue Wan halted her step without turning back while Fan Daiyu came before her and said, "I've been trying to talk to you, can we talk alone."

Yue Wan concentrated on her Little Bao as she moved toward the bushes, but she felt a sense of Deja Vu, 'this smells, no wonder I got inebriate easily, it's just my allergic reaction.' Now Yue Wan found the clear proof of her past, 'Wei Wan, so this is the reason you took the liberty to be my partner in the past. You prepared yourself as a drug with perfume and a ring, so now you dolled up Fan Daiyu in your place, not bad.'

Fan Daiyu got no response from Yue Wan, however, she needs to touch her so she checked the surroundings and realized that they were quite isolated from the feast area, with a smirk on her face, "Yue Wan, let's forget our old hater and be a good friend, even Wan wishes the same," she said in her same old arrogant voice. Being ignored twice made her feeling grieved, she rushed to touch her, but " ah....ah...." Fan Daiyu fell back while holding her hand, "You bi**h, how dare you hurt me." Yue Wan held Little Bao firmly as he was ready to pounce on Fan Daiyu, "Let me deal with her, Litte Bao," at that point, she snapped her finger. Uncle Wang hit Fan Daiyu's head and made her unconscious, "Little Miss, it's prepared."

--- Scene after Juice incident ----

Lu Meili made her initial step of sending Yue Xiang away so she sends the message to her Aunt, 'done Act 1.'

Lu Jia, who left the feast area had returned with a pleasing face, 'Yue Wan, you will love my surprise.' Since she got the messages, she started her Act 3 by signaling Li Rong by eye, 'now.'

Li Rong, who was having a conversation with various political officers got the signal, thus he moved away silently to divert Yue Yeager. "Master Yue, shall we talk," Li Rong halted his step before Yue Yeager.

Taking a gander at this Lu Jia moved close Yue Wan and discovered her alone,'Looks like Fan Daiyu left the venue just as I told her.' She cleared her throat and said, "Young Miss Yue, your brother called you."

Yue Wan, who was watching the sky in admiration, raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Now?"

Lu Jia's hand begins to sweat, as she stared Yue Wan's eye quite clear, 'the drug is still not in effect,' with a slight shutter in her voice she said, "yes--, in your room."

Yue Wan held her forehead like she was tipsy and walked toward her room, "tell a maid to bring me an aspirin."

Lu Jia's lip curved up with a smirk, as she saw her prey accepted her bait, "Now, no one will help you."
