Chapter 126 - Impossible To Look Away

Mr. Hong, who stood near Elder Xiao, came forward and said in an undertone to clarify their doubts: "She is the only daughter of Master Yue, Young Miss Yue Wan."

"Is she the Granddaughter of General Zhao?" The person who was talking to Elder Xiao now spoke with some excitement. "Look at her aura, it is the same as General Yue."

Elder Xiao, the grandfather of Xiao Ran, was astonished by the lady's appearance. His heart and mind fought again with the thought of whether he made the right decision or not. A tiny bit of regret made its way into his heart.

"Did I make the right decision?" He breathed.

------At the same time------

During the commotion, Xiao Shen and her daughter Jing Zhe entered after the Yue Siblings.

In spite of the fact that Jing Zhe wore a most excellent dress which made especially for today's occasion, she still only became a backdrop when she was in the same room as Yue Wan.

From the start, Jing Zhe thought that they were all entranced by her appearance, but then she found that everyone's gaze was misdirected towards the person before her. Her face fell in irritation.

In annoyance, Xiao Shen's vicious mouth started curse Yue Wan nonstop. Her voice was full of indignation as she ranted: "How dare this b***h steal your spotlight? Who let this b**----"

Jin Zhe bit her lips as she pleaded: "Mom!"

Seeing her daughter unexpectedly intervene, Xiao Shen looked at her daughter's bashful expression and found her gaze lingering on the man alongside the lady whom she was cursing. "If such a man become your husband then this whole world will be envious of you."

Xiao Shen made up her mind to gather as much information about the man and his relationship with that woman.

Jing Zhe just stood there, totally losing herself in Yue Xiang's appeal.

----------With Wei Wan-------

Wei Wan, who had just escaped from Mr. Guo's grasp, was walking around the banquet hall, searching for Li Rong. Finally, she found him staring at the entrance with a lustful expression on his face.

Wei Wan noticed Li Rong's line of sight as she looked at him with a heart broked expression.

The gaze he used to look at her was now being directed at another person. She couldn't take the pain in her heart. 'Who is that?'

She examined the woman before Li Rong, at first glance, she didn't know who she was, but when she saw Yue Xiang standing beside the woman, Wei Wan couldn't help but breathe, "Yue Wan?"

Wei Wan was stunned for a moment and took a closer look before crying out, "It's Yue Wan!!"

She had been with Yue Wan for four years and knew her likes, dislikes, dressing style, and attitude. But looking at her now, she felt that Yue Wan was a complete stranger. She was fuming with rage in her heart. She swallowed the words of rage that were on the tip of her tongue and chewed on her bottom lip in distress. She turned around to Li Rong with a worried look.

Just as she thought, Li Rong was completely enraptured with Yue Wan's appearance.

It was a kind of understated beauty that enchanted so many people. Perhaps it was because she was so disarmingly unaware of her prettiness, or the distinct aura that she carried, but it made it impossible to look away from her.

Li Rong seemed to be perplexed as he looked on with wide eyes.

"Gorgeous!!" he subconsciously muttered, his eyes, frozen on Yue Wan's body. Although he was stunned like the others, when he saw the passionate gazes of the other men, he had an indescribable feeling well up inside him.

Only he should possess this beauty was the thought that appeared in his small, selfish mind.

Standing in between those two, Wei Wan gritted her teeth and glared at Yue Wan with a dark expression.

This witch! She was definitely a vixen!

Wei Wan's fingernails dug into her palm as she clenched them tightly.

She took a deep breath and swallowed the jealousy in her heart.

----With Yue Wan----

In her past life, she didn't attend this party, so she had no idea of what would happen tonight.

With a cold, nerve-wracking smile, Yue Wan caressed Little Bao in her embrace and sneered: 'Let's see, which moron makes the first move.'

Looking around the room, her gaze landed on the duo. Observing their wicked intention, Yue Wan's lips curved into a smile: 'My! My! The prey has already fallen into my trap. Perfect.'

Yue Xiang whispered near her ear: "Enjoy your game, sis! We are behind you." With that, he turned to talk with the higher officials who were eagerly waiting for him.

Seeing Yue Wan alone, Li Rong took a step forward in order to accompany her, but he was intercepted by Wei Wan.

"Rong!" Without any honorific title, she called out to him before everyone.

Li Rong's eyebrows scrunched in annoyance. "Miss Wei, we are not that close. Please pay attention to the way you address me."

Wei Wan's face blanched as she heard his harsh reprimand. "Are you discarding me, now?" Her voice was a little bit high.

"You!!!" Li Rong felt that everyone in the room was looking at them. In order not to exaggerate the problem, he took her to an isolated area.

Wei Wan allowed herself to dragged into a secluded corner, but not before giving Yue Wan a provocative stare.

Yue Wan didn't seem to care about those two as she had other challenges to face.

--------With Li Zhi------

Li Zhi had seen everything that had occurred from the moment Yue Wan showed up. The nearby colleagues closest to him complimented him with praises at having such an elegant and dignified daughter-in-law.

Li Zhi's face was beaming with pride, however, the next second completely dashed his good mood as the voice of Wei Wan obliterated everything.

"Rong..." Wei Wan intimately called Li Rong, at that moment.

Everyone stunned for a minute, but then again Wei Wan's pitiful voice said: "Are you discarding me, now?" Which was loud enough for everyone to understand.
