"Who are you?" Xiong Zhi asked. Her cool voice was refreshing to hear.
Xing Wuyue raised her brow. Then she laughed gracefully.
"I cannot blame little cousin for not remembering me. We last met at your parent's funeral. You're so young at that time. I am your dear cousin Xiong Wuyue, do you remember your uncle De? I'm her daughter." She smiled politely. She even reached her hand to hold Xiong Zhi's arm.
However before she could touch her, Xiong Zhi's reply was heard by everyone.
"Oh? It's you. Forgive me, I did not recognize you easily. Your nose, chin, and eyes changed."
The silence was met. Then the laughter of a girl sounded. Some of the guests hold their laughter to not offend Xiong Wuyue.
Who doesn't understand what the young miss of Xiong means?
The girl who laughed loudly walked nearer to Xiong Zhi. She was wearing a light purple hanfu. Her hair was braided to a beautiful bun. Her face is pretty and she smiled showing her pretty white teeth.
"Little cousin Xiong Zhi doesn't like to socialize with other people. So she doesn't know how to properly greet you cousin Wuyu'er. She is so straightforward, so honest, but she's not trying to offend you." The girl smiled sweetly while her eyes mocking the dark face of Xiong Wuyue.
Xiong Wuyue gritted her teeth.
"Big Cousin Xiong Gaiyu.."
Xiong Gaiyu bowed lightly as a greeting to Xiong Zhi.
"Cousin Zhi, we have not met before. I am the first daughter of your uncle Xiong Cai, Xiong Gaiyu."
Xiong Zhi observed Xiong Gayu. In the past life, they only met once in her grandfather' s funeral. She doesn't have any impression on her. They never talked. But she had an inkling that this girl dislikes Wuyue.
"Nice to meet you. " Xiong Zhi said politely.
Xiong Gaiyu just smiled and smirked at Xiong Wuyue.
"I cannot blame you cousin Zhi'er. Wuyue'er really changed so much. Even, I who always saw her in the past could not recognize Wuyue'er. Her appearance really changed. As expected of the youngest international model, where did you go to surgery? " She leaned towards Xiong Wuyue and examined her face.
"Truly fantastic! Looks natural! Tell me, little cousin, so I can make some recommendations to my friends." Her voice was cheerful however the corner of her lips was mocking Xiong Wuyue.
Xiong Wuyue was fl.u.s.tered. No one knows that she undergo surgery when she was fifteen. So whenever there's an interview she always said that it was a natural beauty and just taking care meticulously on her skin.
Some of the guests snickered and some look at Xiong Wuyue with mocking eyes, most were girls who envied her earlier.
For rich people, having surgery was only common. However in the case of Xiong Wuyue who was known as having a natural beauty was really a huge shock.
Xiong Wuyue glared at Xiong Gaiyu and glared daggers secretly to Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi might say it casually with no intention to offend her but because of her, the people here look at her differently.
Xiong Wuyue just swallowed their insulting gaze and smirked at Xiong Gayu.
' Do you think you are the only one who knows dirty secrets?'
"I take no offense. It's just that there's an accident that year. But I made sure to make my original features to not change. Big cousin Gaiyu, how's my future cousin-in-law treating you? I heard some rumors that made me worry about you. I heard that brother Gin Yang (a/n: boyfriend of Gaiyu) dated a woman behind your back and accidentally got her pregnant! Even they said you are both matches made from heaven, you should break up with him! That kind of man did not deserve my Big Cousin!" Xiong Wuyue said with worrying eyes.
Some gasps and low murmurs erupted from the guests.
It was a big news. Everybody knows that Xiong Gaiyu and her boyfriend, Gin Yang, were a perfect couple. They even become fiance. But this news, no one knows!
Xiong Gaiyu was pale. She only knew that her boyfriend cheated on her last week. But she did not know that that girl was pregnant! She planned to turn a blind eye on his cheating because they would be mock as a perfect couple if they break up now, but this...
Xing Gaiyu quickly turned around and run into the corner. She wanted to know if it was true or not. She knew that that father and daughter duo (a/n: aka Wuyue and his father) were watching their movements like how they watched them. So this news might be true.
Xiong Wuyue just smirked evilly at the running figure of Xiong Gayu.
' She wants to fight me? If she has some guts! '
The gossip about her surgery was gone instantly and was replaced by the huge news about Xiong Gaiyu's boyfriend cheating on her.
Xiong Wuyue turned to Xiong Zhi. She was a bit startled because Xiong Zhi was still staring at her. Not even minding about the news she gave earlier. Xiong Wuyue hasn't forgotten the offense Xiong Zhi made on her earlier.
She smiled sweetly to Xiong Zhi.
"Little cousin, did you see that? Our big cousin is distressed right now. She must not be slacking off and worrying about us. She must worry about herself instead. " She took a step to Xiong Zhi. Still smiling.
"You must not come to people like her. We might become a burden. Come to this big cousin instead, this cousin likes you. I'll show you around to familiarize myself with people. Your cousin knows them all."
Even though Xiong Wuyue wants to slap Xiong Zhi's face she would give her a chance to become her follower. Befriend her, then get the rights that supposed to be hers.
'Father also said that I need to befriend this dumb girl. '
Xiong Zhi stared coldly at the alluring smile of Xiong Wuyue.
After a while she replied.
"I thank big cousin sister for your invitation. But I'm afraid to burden cousin sister. " then Xiong Zhi reached out for Linfeng's arm.
"Linfeng is enough. He will show me around." Then she turned away but not before glancing at Xiong Wuyue's face full of anger.
Xiong Zhi smirked.
' I will make you suffer from ultimate envy. See...Linfeng is mine. He will never be yours, not even in the past, nor in the future. '
