âDonât be angry anymore, sister Zhong Yi, Junting brother treasures that dog a lot,â Ye Chuen was frustrated at how the party was turning out. She never managed to win Xiaosiâs affection no matter how hard she tried to befriend the dog in the past, she wondered what had gotten over Xiaosi today.
âI know, I wonât hold it against the dog,â Zhong Yi forced a smile.
âYou can sit over there, Iâll go talk to Luo Sang,â Ye Chuen walked towards her friend.
âCan we begin?â Luo Sang asked as she approached her, she wanted to get this over and done with as soon as possible.
âLuo Sang, go apologize to sister Zhong Yi later?â Zhong Yi said, âItâs for your own good, Mr. Yi is an important person in the entertainment industry...â
âI didnât push her into the pool, did I?â Luo Sangâs face looked ghastly, âIf you think I should apologize for what I said earlier, I donât think itâs necessary. I wasnât lying, Chuen, shouldnât you try to consider my stand? I am your guest tonight as well, Iâm helping you emcee, if you donât want me to, I can leave now...â
Ye Chuenâs facial expression looked a little stiff, but she broke into a smile quickly, âAlright, itâs my fault, you are right. Donât leave alright, I wonât have an emcee without you. Weâre already running late by ten minutes, do help me clarify later when youâre on stage.â
âThatâs no problem,â Luo Sang took the opportunity to go along with her.
Ye Chuen spoke to the DJ quickly and the music quietened, Luo Sang climbed onto the wooden stairs in the middle of the pool with the microphone in her hand.
âDear esteemed guests, good evening! Welcome to Chuenâs birthday party, we are running late due to some technical difficulties and weâre sorry for the delay and inconveniences caused...â
...
Nian Junting was looking at the slim figure in the middle of the pool while sitting on the rattan chair beneath the tree. Luo Sang looked like a fairy that had descended to earth.
Yu Wen laughed, âThe emcee is good, sheâs very eloquent and thereâs a soothing quality to her voice.â
âYeah,â Nian Junting said distractedly.
His woman was naturally outstanding in every aspect.
Nian Xi teased, âGrandma, itâs so rare for you to praise someone, why donât you introduce her to my brother?â
âI did intend to do so, but I heard that sheâs from An City and her parents are no longer,â Yu Wen shook her head, âYour brother is the future successor of the company, his wife has to be of equal standing. Iâve seen it all, having a compatible family background is extremely important for a successful marriage.â
Nian Junting frowned, âIf I fancy someone, I donât care about her family background at all. I wonât even care if sheâs penny broke.â
âWhen two persons of different upbringing get together, you will find that your values and viewpoints of the world will be different after a while,â Yu Wen waved her hands dismissively, âForget it, you wonât understand, Iâm telling you now that I wonât be supportive of the relationship.â
âIâm the one whoâs finding a wife, I donât need your support.â
âYou...â
Before Yu Wen could continue, an ear-screeching static interference could be heard from the stage, the platform looked like it was on the verge of collapse and Luo Sang was wobbling precariously trying to catch her balance.
Nian Junting looked stricken with panic and stood up abruptly.
