Chapter 1029 - Lies
Hearing An Feng’s words, Helian Xiao immediately furrowed his eyebrows tighter.
He stared at An Feng with dark eyes, his voice low and hoarse. “Is there a meaning in making this choice?”
An Feng clenched her fists tightly, her eyes turning red. “How is it meaningless? She’s lying blatantly. I didn’t scald her, and she’s lying through her teeth. Why do you believe her? Why don’t you believe me?”
Kuang Meiyue interrupted their conversation as she said chokingly, “Miss An, I know that you didn’t do it on purpose. But do you have proof when you said that I’m framing you? Would I scald myself on purpose?”
An Feng ignored Kuang Meiyue. She merely stared at Helian Xiao, her expression tense as she looked a little unreasonable. “Alright, since you don’t want to make the decision, I’ll choose for you. You can get back together with your first love and we’ll end what we have between us!”
Not wanting to stay another second in the room, An Feng ran out. Helian Xiao chased after An Feng for a few steps when a loud bang sounded from behind him suddenly.
Kuang Meiyue had fallen from the bed, her hands reaching out, as if she had sunk into a dark world once more.
“Brother Xiao, where are you?”
Helian Xiao furrowed his eyebrows, glancing at the door with dark eyes before he walked towards Kuang Meiyue and helped her up.
Kuang Meiyue sat on the bed, hugging Helian Xiao’s arm tightly as she said weakly, “Brother Xiao, did I affect your relationship? How about you send me abroad now? It’s alright if my eyes cannot be treated…”
As Kuang Meiyue spoke, tears fell out of her eyes.
Helian Xiao pursed his lips tightly, saying lowly and hoarsely, “You forgot what the doctor said. You cannot cry now, it’s not good for your eyes.”
Kuang Meiyue’s lips trembled. “I’m just really guilty and sad because I affected your relationship with Miss An.”
Helian Xiao said coldly, “It has only been a few days since I got together with her. Since she’s so unreasonable, I have to consider this relationship as well.”
Helian Xiao didn’t return to the castle that day, spending the night in his office instead before he came to the hospital the next day.
Kuang Meiyue asked about his relationship status with An Feng carefully. Helian Xiao massaged his temples, slight tiredness present in his eyes. “She already asked for a break up and left.”
Kuang Meiyue immediately felt happiness surge within her. She didn’t think that An Feng would be so weak to be defeated with just a few words from her.
She thought An Feng was a very capable person, since she was able to conquer the heart of te middle-aged Helian Xiao!
“Brother Xiao, it’s my fault. It wasn’t easy for you to find someone you like, but my appearance caused a misunderstanding and made her leave.”
Staring at the guilt present in Kuang Meiyue’s eyes, Helian Xiao smiled like it was nothing. “Do you think I lack women? Meiyue, I’m planning to hold a large banquet three days later. I’ll announce my candidate for the Helian family’s Madam in front of my family and guests.”
Helian family’s Madam?
Hearing these words made Kuang Meiyue’s heart thump crazily.
With An Feng breaking up with Helian Xiao and leaving here, did Helian Xiao come and tell her this information because he wanted to give her a surprise?
Did he want to give her a status because he still can’t forget his first love? She didn’t even dare to imagine being his mistress, not to mention the Madam of the family!
It was a status that everyone wanted!
Kuang Meiyue didn’t dare to show her excitement and happiness, her hands hidden under the blanket clenched into tight fists. “Brother Xiao, can I attend it too?”
Helian Xiao narrowed his depthless eyes. “Of course, I’ll get my secretary to send you an invite. However, you should just rest for the next two days. If you can’t see then, you wouldn’t be able to dance during the banquet.”
He wanted to dance with her at the banquet too?
It was something that countless of women didn’t even dare to imagine!
In the past anniversary parties of the Helian Corporation, all the young ladies wanted to be invited to dance by him, but he never did.
Kuang Meiyue felt like she was going to faint from the sudden happiness swarming her. She did her best to control her emotions and nodded at Helian Xiao. “Alright, I’ll rest properly. Brother Xiao, you’re really good to me.”
Helian Xiao stared at Kuang Meiyue, lips slightly pursed as he didn’t reply anymore.
…
Three days passed by in a flash.
Kuang Meiyue rested a lot in the past few days and listened to the doctor’s instructions and took her medicine well. On the day of the banquet, her sight and energy was rather good.
In the evening, Helian Xiao’s secretary brought Kuang Meiyue her invitation and evening gown.
When Kuang Meiyue took out the evening gown from the box, she was shocked.
It was a golden mermaid tail dress that sparkled with the light and looked extremely grand and luxurious. There was a Paspeley pearl necklace in the box as well. This type of necklace was extremely rare and expensive, as every pearl had to had the same color, size, shape and glow.
Kuang Meiyue’s eyes moistened a little. She didn’t think that Helian Xiao would still care about her so much after so many years.
…
The banquet was held at a five star hotel owned by the Helian family. The large banquet hall was filled with the family members of the big Helian family, and the rich and elite of M Country.
Everyone dressed beautifully, looking luxurious and grand like a top society would.
When Kuang Meiyue walked into the hall and thought that she would be the Helian family’s Madam in the future, being above and respected by everyone, she felt extremely excited and agitated.
Kuang Meiyue looked around her. She spotted Helian Xiao, who was speaking to several guests. His figure was tall and straight, his black suit ironed perfectly as he had a handkerchief in his left pocket. He looked extremely low-key yet elegant at the same time. He was holding a glass of red wine with one hand while his other hand was in his pocket, his actions and speech extremely appropriate for his status. He had a faint smile on his face, making him look extremely handsome and elegant.
Kuang Meiyue even saw Helian Zhu and Feng Yao at the banquet. It seemed like he wasn’t lying and was really going to announce the Madam of the Helian family to the entire Helian family.
Helian Xiao glanced at Kuang Meiyue and raised his glass at her. With a gaze from him, Kuang Meiyue felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest.
She had to admit that the aura and charisma that grew with his experience and age, he was way too attractive.
Not too long later, the Old Madam arrived.
When she saw Kuang Meiyue’s clothes and the jewelry she wore on her neck, the Old Madam’s expression changed slightly.
Kuang Meiyue wanted to come forward to greet the Old Madam, however, the Old Madam didn’t even look at her as she walked towards Helian Xiao with the butler’s support.
Kuang Meiyue didn’t really understand what was going on. When the Old Madam first found her, her attitude was not like this. Also, when the Old Madam saw her outfit, she seemed a little unhappy.
Did she think that she was wearing something that was too eye-catching and stole the attention?”
Just as Kuang Meiyue was extremely confused, the door was pushed opened once more. Kuang Meiyue glanced towards the door casually. However, she froze immediately after the glance.
It wasn’t just anyone else who entered.
It was An Feng.
