Chapter 53
Chu Wuyou predicted Chu Ninger’s arrival. However, she did not expect Chu Ninger to be impatient and come over so quickly.
Now that Chu Ninger had arrived, it was time for the show to begin.
Chu Wuyou was not the type to hold grudges because she would usually have her revenge on the spot. Thus, it was payback time for Chu Ninger.
He Yufei let out a quiet sigh and glared at Chu Wuyou. ‘Staying here on purpose to accompany her? And she dared to say that?’
Did he do so willingly? Did he do so willingly? Did he do so willingly?
Nevertheless, he could not retaliate. The best way to retaliate was to leave, but he could not do that either.
“Big Brother He, Brother Jia Hao has something to tell you. Probably on some business matters.” Chu Ninger’s heart was filled with hate, but she dared not reveal her true emotions. She maintained her charming smile and tender voice.
“Yeah, business is more important. You’d better deal with that, Young Master He. You don’t have to accompany me,” Chu Wuyou quipped before He Yufei could reply.
Chu Ninger assumed He Yufei refused to leave, so she tried to persuade him by using the subject of business. She never expected that he could not move. No matter what she said, he could not follow her.
He Yufei glared at Chu Wuyou angrily. He was stunned when he saw her delightful smile. For some reason, he had a sudden feeling that this woman looked rather attractive when she smiled. What the hell?!
He was not sure whether it was a lack of focus or if he genuinely had no idea what to say. He decided to remain silent.
A few people had begun to notice the commotion. The hall grew quiet as everybody turned to observe the situation.
“What’s going on? He Yufei and Chu Wuyou broke off their engagement five years ago. Is Young Master He trying to get back with her again?”
“Hard to tell, but it looks like First Young Lady Chu still has feelings for He Yufei.”
“It depends on He Yufei. If he doesn’t like her, it’s no use for her to like him.”
“Watch your words. Young Master He’s love for my sister is true, and my sister is madly in love with him. They are the real couple.” Chu Wuyou’s lips curved slightly and she purposefully raised her voice to rebut the comments.
She was aware that Chu Ninger shared passionate relationships with several men in recent years. Her sister just could not decide which man she wanted to be with.
Truth be told, Chu Ninger was an expert in maintaining her simultaneous relationships with those men. Nothing had gone wrong yet.
He Yufei was still considered her first choice. The He family was after all rather influential in Jin City, and he was an eligible bachelor among her peers. Elder Chu would not have picked him otherwise back then.
Nonetheless, there was also He Yunan apart from He Yufei. Rumors have it that Elder He intended to hand over the shares of the He family to He Yunan. This made Chu Ninger even more indecisive.
“Am I right, Sis?” Chu Wuyou looked at Chu Ninger on purpose so that she could back out of the situation.
A lot of people were present at the engagement party back then. They were aware of how He Yufei broke off the engagement because of Chu Ninger. Everybody’s attention was now on her as they waited eagerly for her response.
Chu Ninger did not imagine that Chu Wuyou would make such a remark. Her expression faltered. She could not reveal her feelings at the banquet. She was perfectly aware of one thing: If she admitted her relationship with He Yufei, she would have no other choice. Furthermore, He Yufei was not her most favorable choice as he had not received the He family’s shares.
If He Yufei did not inherit the He family’s properties, he would not be as good as the other choices.
Besides, Fifth Young Master Shen would be here tonight. If she could get to know him and attract his attention, He Yufei was nothing to her.
She was the No. 1 socialite of Jin City.
“I’m just Big Brother He’s friend. Please don’t misunderstand us, Sis,” replied Chu Ninger after she had analyzed the whole situation.
Unfortunately, she did not know that she had fallen into Chu Wuyou’s trap with her reply. Her tragedy had just begun.
