Chapter 489: The Crown Of Darkness (16)

Liang Chen was very unlucky recently. He had planned to snatch all of Ji Yue’an’s woman over but he failed at the first one. That Wen Yi was different from the Wen Yi in his memory.

He finally managed to get the necklace but before he could find out what it was use for, that woman snatched it away.

“Mister Liang, what are you thinking of? You are neither drinking nor teasing girls. Have you decided to become a good person?”

“I think that Mister Liang is lovesick. He doesn’t really come out even when we call him. Who did you lay your eyes on this time?”

The bad friends that he always hung around with where surrounding him and teasing him. Liang Chen was very irritated by these people. In his past life, after he lost everything, these people just added insults to his injury.

However, it was not time to rip faces with them yet. Liang Chen just beared with it.

“Mister Liang, let’s dance,” a smell of perfume engulfed him and then, a soft body leaned on him, “Mister Liang, you promised me that you will bring me out to have fun. How can you go back on your words? Let me punish you to dance with me today.”

“Yo yo yo…”

His bad friends kicked up a fuss and made Liang Chen even more irritated. He pushed the woman away and said in a displeased tone, “don’t come and irritate me.”

The woman fell down and tears started forming in her eyes. She said pitifully, “Mister Liang…”

“Get away!”

There were people laughing at her beside her. The woman was embarrassed and anry. She stomped her foot and turned around to leave.

“Hey, isn’t that Wen Yi?

Wen Yi.

These two words were like the shining keywords. Liang Chen immediately looked over. As expected, he saw the person walking in from the entrance.

Today’s event was the engagement party of the oldest son of the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family was a real wealthy and powerful family. People that came were either rich or powerful.

Among these people, quite a few of them recognised Wen Yi.

“I heard that the Wen family and the Shangguan family are old family friends so it is not strange that Miss Wen Yi came. However, she doesn’t seem as vicious as what they say.”

“Yes yes, I feel that Miss Wen Yi is glowing. She is so pretty when she smile.”

“What is the use of looking so good. She has thorns. Stop your thought.”

Ming Shu wore a little dress which ended just nice above her knees. Her short hair was curled up slightly and she casually pin it with a hairpin. She looked like a cute young girl.

She smiled and walked in. The air around her seemed to be glowing and made people feel warm.

The butler of the Shangguan family personally came to welcome her up the stairs. The discussion became softer as she disappeared.

Liang Chen squinted his eyes and took out his handphone. He dialled a number.

–

Ming Shu was here to represent her father. The gifts were all prepared by him and sent to her. He asked her to personally give it to the butler of the Shangguan family.

She didn’t know how the two of them met each other, but the old master of Shangguan family and her old master were very good friends.

When he saw Ming Shu, he looked as though he saw his own daughter.

Little Yi this and little Yi that. He even introduced his second son passionately to her as her potential boyfriend.

Ming Shu: “…” The rich people are really scary.

I better go and eat my food.

Second mister of the Shangguan family personally send Ming Shu down. His attitude seemed very intimate, “you have grown so much. I haven’t seen you for so many years.”

Shangguan Qi, second mister of the Shangguan family.

When she was young, her old master was afraid that something would happen to the Host and send her to live with the Shangguan family. The oldest mister of the Shangguan family was much older than them and didn’t like to play with the host. However, the second mister of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Qi, was around the same age as her so they always played together.

However, after that, Shangguan Qi went overseas and the Host was brought back. They had not seen each other for many years.

In the past, Shangguan Qi was a gentle person who knew how to take care of people. Now that he had grown up, his temper was still the same.

“Oh…” Ming Shu answered. Her gaze fell on the exquisite snacks at the event. Where shall I start?

“When I came back, I wanted to look for you. However, there were too many things to do for my brother’s engagement so I didn’t have the time to go over. Little Yi, please don’t be angry with me.”

“No worries.” I don’t even remember who you are.

Shangguan Qi noticed Ming Shu’s gaze and looked over. He smiled. “are you hungry? Come, let’s go over there. There are lesser people.”

Shangguan Qi brought Ming Shu to a corner. There were seats there and the area couldn’t be seen by most people. Shangguan Qi took some snacks for Ming Shu and placed it in front of her.

Ming Shu gave Shangguan Qi and bright smile. Good person!

Shangguan Qi smiled too, “don’t take what my father say to heart too much. He is just worrying for nothing.”

“What?” Ming Shu muttered.

Shangguan Qi was stunned. He shook his head, “nothing, slowly eat it. There is definitely enough. I will get some drinks for you.”

After Shangguan Qi left, Ming Shu heard a commotion over there. She looked up but there were too many people. Something seemed to have happened. Shangguan Qi’s calm voice sounded and then everyone dispersed and started talking. It was as though nothing had happened.”

“Little Yi, do you like orange juice?”Shangguan Qi placed the orange juice in front of Ming Shu. He said in a gentle and thoughtful tone, “I remember that you like strawberry juice but there is none left. If you don’t like orange juice, I will ask people to change it immediately.”

“Everything is fine,” as long as it is edible, I will not reject it, “thank you.”

She took the orange juice over and prepared to drink it. Her lips touched the cup and she moved it away slowly.

“Second Young Mister, Young Mister is looking for you,” the maid suddenly called Shangguan Qi. Shangguan Qi didn’t noticed Ming Shu’s actions.

He smiled at Ming Shu apologetically, “I will come back soon.”

Ming Shu put down the orange juice and looked at Shangguan Qi’s back view with a puzzled look. He wouldn’t drugged her…

Then who is it?

Ming Shu looked aroung. There was no one suspicious.

Ming Shu used the position of her seat to pour away half of the orange juice. After that, she got up and walked to the back.

“Miss Wen Yi, let me offer you a toast.”

Ming Shu took over the wine and after confirming that there was nothing inside, she took a sip and smiled as she walked passed the person.

When she walked around, people started offering her toasts. By the time she reached an empty place, her face was already slightly red.

Ming Shu walked towards the area that was deserted. She hastened her pace and hid behind a corner.

There were light footsteps. Once someone walked passed, Ming Shu hit the person.

“Ah…” Shangguan Qi groaned and lost his balance for two steps.

“Shangguan Qi?”

Ming Shu saw the person and popped her head out. There was no one behind.

“Why are you following me?”

Shangguan Qi grabbed his elbow and cringed in pain. However, there was no anger in his voice. He just explained softly, “I saw you coming here alone so I was worried for you. THat was why I came to have a look. What happened Little Yi? Is someone following you?”

Ming Shu’s gaze landed on Shangguan Qi’s face. She smiled. “someone drugged my drink. I thought that the person who is following me is the one who drugged me.”

Shangguan Qi looked shocked. He asked her with concern, “are you okay?”

The concern on his face didn’t seem fake. It was not him.
