C1 Jiang Yao I'm Back!
The splendid hall displayed the identity of the host of the banquet, who was either rich or expensive, and the expensive floor seemed to reflect the proper smiles on the faces of all the guests.
Jiang Yao, who had long brown hair that draped over her shoulders, pursed her lips and looked at the two sets of evening dresses in front of her. She did not know what to do. The girl's small face was like a porcelain doll that was carved out of jade. Her skin was so good that even the pores on her white neck could be seen. Her pair of watery eyes made it impossible for anyone to look away from her, as if she was appreciating the most exquisite item.
Today was her twentieth birthday. Her father, Jiang Zhentao, had specially prepared a grand banquet. In fact, he had taken this opportunity to interact more with her.
"Sister." A soft and soft voice came from the door. The dark blue evening dress made Jiang Yirou's skin even whiter. Her long and slender eyes revealed her innocence. "Look what sister brought for you!"
As she spoke, Jiang Yirou opened the box in her hand. The high-quality black lace evening dress lay quietly in the box. Jiang Yao's eyes instantly burst out and she asked in delight, "Big Sister specially brought it for me?"
Jiang Yirou nodded noncommittally and smiled gently, "You are a birthday star. This dress cannot be bad. Quickly go in and give it a try!"
Jiang Yao ran into the house happily and did not see any trace of complacency in Jiang Yirou's eyes.
She fondled the corner of her clothes lovingly. Jiang Yao's heart was filled with joy. It was as if she was filled with longing for the future.
Unfortunately, the person she wanted to see the most was not here tonight.
The guests in the banquet hall entered one after another. The master of ceremonies on stage joked and waited for the main person to appear. Jiang Yao tried her clothes and came out but did not see her elder sister. She did not think much and walked out the door.
The black evening dress perfectly outlined Jiang Yao's beautiful figure. Her slender neck was as beautiful as a swan. Jiang Zhentao, who was at the side, looked at his daughter who was so slim and graceful. His heart was filled with emotion.
Jiang Yao shyly lowered her head. When the guests saw Jiang Yirou who had arrived, they all exclaimed in unison.
Jiang Yirou was wearing the same clothes as Jiang Yao. Even the HE necklace on her neck was not the slightest bit different. Jiang Zhentao's expression changed slightly. Before he could open his mouth, he heard Jiang Yirou use a voice that could be heard clearly from the surroundings to say in surprise. "Little sister, you said earlier that you were wearing this. Didn't big sister change into something else?"
Jiang Yao was stunned as she looked at Jiang Yirou who had a wronged look. Subconsciously, she opened her mouth and said, "No... Didn't you give it to me?"
"Look, Jiang Yao's clothes seem to be broken!" Among the guests, the socialite who was closest to Jiang Yao pulled her skirt without a care. On top of it, there were clearly a few poorly made threads.
"Your clothes can't be A-grade, right?" It was unknown who shouted this, but everyone followed suit.
Jiang Yirou's lips curled up slightly and pretended to be concerned, "Sister, no matter what, you can't wear A-grade clothes to attend the banquet. Isn't this embarrassing for Dad?"
"I... don't!" Jiang Yao subconsciously looked at her father who was livid. Jiang Zhentao, who always had good face, looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger.
The intense voices of the crowd made Jiang Yao feel as if she had committed a heinous crime. Jiang Yao's hands were helpless as she leaned on the edge of her clothes, like an abandoned child.
"As expected of an illegitimate daughter. In the end, she is not presentable."
She did not know who said this, but her voice was like a hammer smashing on Jiang Yao's heart. Her mother was only a village woman. In the eyes of these people, she was just an ugly duckling.
Not wanting to see these mocking and disappointed eyes again, Jiang Yao carried her skirt and ran out with her head down. She did not notice Jiang Yirou behind her that could not suppress the corner of her mouth.
The night was cold like water. The breeze carried a bit of coldness on Jiang Yao's body. Jiang Yao subconsciously hugged her arms tightly. Her delicate makeup was already stained by tears. Her face was full of tears. The bright street lamps stretched her shadow endlessly.
Different from the quiet road was the noisy bar street. The colorful neon lights illuminated everyone's face clearly.
Jiang Yao, who had a pretty figure, was hit by countless men on the way. She turned a deaf ear to all of them. She raised her eyes and saw a noisy bar enter.
She casually sat at the bar and drank the red liquid one after another. Jiang Yao's alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with. After a few cups of wine, her head had already become dizzy. The figure in front of her gradually blurred, as if she was unable to support her heavy head and was lying on the bar counter.
No one in the noisy bar noticed that the black clothed man who had followed Jiang Yao earlier had quietly put some white powder into her cup.
Jiang Yao only felt that this cup of wine was more intense than before. She staggered out of her seat and walked towards the washroom. The people in the dark had already quietly left.
Supporting herself against the cold wall, she was able to make the heat in her body just barely subside.
"Jiang Yao, why are you here?"
Gu Haotian, who was wearing a French TU custom-made gray casual outfit, looked at Jiang Yao in surprise. The black lace evening dress accentuated her fair skin, making people want to kiss her.
Gu Haotian suddenly had an evil thought, even though the woman in front of him was his future sister-in-law.
Jiang Yao, who was in a daze, felt as if she was being pulled up by someone. She could not help but moan. Gu Haotian's eyes instantly became deep. He comforted her with good words, "It will be fine in a while. Jiang Yao, bear with it."
As he spoke, he walked Jiang Yao towards the direction of the private room.
"Put her down!"
A deep male voice came from behind, which made Gu Haotian stop his steps subconsciously. He turned around with difficulty and said impatiently, "Don't meddle in other people's business. Get lost!"
Before Gu Haotian could turn around, his free arm was tightly held by the man behind him.
"Huo Weidong? Gu Haotian exclaimed. He could not believe that the man in the suit in front of him was him!
Huo Weidong looked at Gu Haotian with a pair of long and deep peach blossom eyes, as if he was looking at a trapped beast on the verge of death. "I don't want to repeat the same words a second time."
Gu Haotian had always relied on the Gu family's power to not be stopped by anyone in the circle. Although the person in front of him was the heir of the Huo family who had dominated A City in the past, in the end, the Huo family was nothing now.
"What do you think you are now? Jiang Yao has already broken off the engagement with you. Do you think a stray dog like you can match up to her?"
Gu Haotian said sarcastically. It was true that he liked Jiang Yao, but his fiancée really did come out of his mouth subconsciously.
Gu Haotian clearly felt the cold aura of the man in front of him after he finished speaking. Huo Weidong raised his eyebrows and opened his thin lips. "Get lost."
As he spoke, he secretly exerted his strength and expressionlessly looked at Gu Haotian's gradually distorted face.
His arm was twisted like a twist. Gu Haotian had no choice but to temporarily let go of Jiang Yao, who was in his arms, and run away. He kept shouting and cursing, as if this was the only way to save his lost face.
Jiang Yao fell into a warm embrace in an instant. The faint smell of tobacco made her want to run away subconsciously.
Huo Weidong's dark pupils did not show any emotion. His body emitted a cold aura that made people not dare to approach him. He held Jiang Yao's hand with his consciousness and exerted force. The veins on his joints and big hands bulged.
I'm back, Jiang Yao!
Huo Weidong, who was wearing a black shirt, attracted countless gazes. His handsome face attracted countless kisses, but none of the women dared to approach him when they saw his posture.
There were hotels everywhere on the street. Huo Weidong violently threw Jiang Yao into the back seat and drove away. The night view of the city quickly retreated. Jiang Yao, who was sitting in the back seat, fell down. Huo Weidong felt a nameless anger burning in his heart.
He took her to the presidential suite of a hotel. The receptionist stared blankly at Huo Weidong's handsome face as he walked through the process in a panic.
Huo Weidong threw the person onto the soft bed. He looked expressionlessly at Jiang Yao, who was feeling uncomfortable all over, and sneered in disdain.
Jiang Yao felt as if she was on the surface of the raging sea. A wave of nausea hit her. The medicine just now had taken effect.
Huo Weidong's lower abdomen tightened. His pupils gradually became deep. In his mind, however, he recalled the predicament he had in his family a few years ago. His expression instantly became clear and his breathing gradually became heavy.
He quickly got up and dragged the thin Jiang Yao out of the bed into the bathtub. He spread the flowers to the maximum, and the bone-chilling water splashed all over Jiang Yao's body. The evening dress was tightly attached to her body, and her exquisite figure made people unable to help but fantasize.
Jiang Yao was completely drenched by the sudden cold water. She could not help but hide but there was no way to escape.
Huo Weidong's right hand, which was in his pocket, clenched into a fist tightly. He did not let go of the flower shower as if he was taking revenge. He only walked out after a long time.
No matter how calm he was, he would still feel something when facing such a situation. Moreover, the woman in front of him was the woman he had been thinking about all those years ago.
The medicinal properties of Jiang Yao's body gradually dissipated under the soaking of cold water. Huo Weidong leaned against the window outside and lit a cigarette. The misty smoke gradually wrapped around Huo Weidong. The bright and extinguished sparks carried a bit of loneliness.
After a long time, Huo Weidong heard the sounds in the bathroom gradually disappear. Only then did he extinguish the sparks and walk in with large strides.
At this moment, Jiang Yao did not know much more. Her wet hair was still dripping down. She looked like a stray cat.
Huo Weidong frowned slightly and pulled her up. Jiang Yao leaned against Huo Weidong's broad chest and heard his strong heartbeat. Subconsciously, she felt at ease. Her fingers tightly grabbed his clothes and refused to let go.
Huo Weidong gently covered Jiang Yao with the blanket. His callused palm outlined Jiang Yao's delicate face, smoothing her frown because of the medicinal properties.
Jiang Yao, who was in a coma, did not know what she was dreaming of. Her pink lips curled up slightly.
Huo Weidong lay beside her and played with Jiang Yao's wet hair. His expression loosened a little. The night gradually became quiet, as if the disturbance just now had never happened.
Jiang Yirou listened to her subordinates' good news and let out a deep sigh of relief. This time, let's see how you fight with me!
The morning sunlight passed through the window and landed on the wooden floor. It sprinkled on Jiang Yao's frown due to her headache.
The unconscious Jiang Yao's face revealed an unusual blush. The scorching heat radiated from her body. Huo Weidong's cold palm touched Jiang Yao's forehead. The scalding temperature made him frown slightly.
"Five minutes," Huo Weidong ordered to the other end of the phone, "bring your medicine box."
