Chapter 146 Sister's Present
The underwear was ripped so she threw it in the dress and walked out without wearing one.
When Li Yuyan walked out, Su Zhiming had also just finished dancing with Qin Ruolin, and he walked back to the tables to get some food.
There was a smile on his face, and it made Li Yuyan ugly.
Qin Ruolin, that b****! Li Yuyan invited her originally to show that she was also the legitimate daughter of the He family now, but who knew that Qin Ruolin would be shameless enough to try and seduce Su Zhiming!
Li Yuyan clenched her fists together when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around and saw Li Huiran.
"Mom?"
Li Huiran grabbed onto Li Yuyan's arm, "Let's go! The speeches are starting soon."
After some socializing, Bai Jiawei and Li Yuyan had to say a few words because they were the hosts after all.
Li Yuyan followed her mother to the front of the room, where Bai Jiawei was already waiting. A few seconds later, He Xinyan also joined.
They walked up onto the stage together and Bai Jiawei first grabbed the microphone.
Everyone stopped talking as Bai Jiawei cleared his throat and smiled at the guests.
"Hello, everyone! Thank you for coming to my older daughter's 25th birthday party. Since the spotlight is on her today, I will give the microphone to her now."
Li Yuyan smiled elegantly and stepped forward, "Good evening, everyone. Thank you for coming to my 25th birthday party. I want to take this opportunity to make an announcement."
Li Yuyan scanned the crowd and her eyes landed on Su Zhiming. She opened her mouth to speak but she froze for a second when she saw Liu Wei standing right behind Su Zhiming.
She gulped and tried her best to keep a smile on her face, "I am pregnant."
There were several gasps in the room and Su Zhiming's eyes also widened. He Xinyan also had to admit that she was surprised as she looked at Li Yuyan.
The only person that was not shocked was probably Gu Yechen, because he wasn't even listening to what Li Yuyan was saying. His eyes were on He Xinyan the entire time, and Li Yuyan's voice was just like a fly buzzing in the background to him.
Bai Jiawei and Li Huiran were also shocked.
"Really?!" Li Huiran asked.
"Yes, mom. The baby is only two weeks old." Li Yuyan said with a calm smile.
The baby was over a month old already, but her lie would be caught if she said that. She had only done it once with Su Zhiming two weeks ago, so she had to say the baby was two weeks. When it was time for labor, she could just say she had a premature delivery.
Li Yuyan smiled proudly at her perfect plan and placed one hand onto her stomach.
He Xinyan furrowed her eyebrows together. Two weeks old? Was it even possible to detect pregnancy at two weeks?
He Xinyan was indeed suspicious, but she had no evidence. Plus, was Li Yuyan actually stupid enough to fake a pregnancy right after her mom got caught doing it?
He Xinyan knew that Li Yuyan was dumb, but she probably wasn't dumb enough to do that. So, Li Yuyan was actually pregnant?
It didn't matter to He Xinyan whether Li Yuyan was pregnant or not. In fact, it would be helpful to He Xinyan if Li Yuyan was indeed pregnant.
He Xinyan grinned and raised one eyebrow as her eyes landed on Li Yuyan's stomach.
Su Zhiming also made his way through the crowd and onto the stage. He placed one hand onto Li Yuyan's arm, "You're really pregnant?!"
"Yes," Li Yuyan said as she licked her lips. Once Su Zhiming heard it, there was no happiness or joy on his face. Instead, he knit his eyebrows together and sighed.
"Are you not happy?"
'No! Of course I'm not happy!' Su Zhiming thought. However, he still squeezed out a smile and shook his head, "No. Of course, I'm happy."
In the crowd, there was someone even more happy. Liu Wei crossed his arms together and smirked. Su Zhiming was happy that his woman was bearing a child for another man? How funny!
After several minutes of celebration and discussion, Li Yuyan's pregnancy issue was finally over. Li Yuyan then walked over to the microphone with a bright smile on her face.
"One more thing." She turned around and looked at He Xinyan, "Yanyan, I didn't receive a birthday gift from you today."
Several of the guests tilted their heads in confusion. Weren't they sisters? Why wouldn't He Xinyan give her sister a birthday present?"
Bai Jiawei also looked at He Xinyan and furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
He Xinyan was prepared for this and she smiled before pulling a small box out from her purse, "Here you go."
Li Yuyan's eyes widened and she was about to say, 'Didn't I tell you not to prepare a gift?', but she stopped herself.
She squeezed out a smile and took the box, opening it to see a bracelet from a very good brand. Her eyes brightened but dimmed again the next second when she thought about who had given it to her.
". . . Thank you," Li Yuyan muttered before handing the gift to Li Huiran.
He Xinyan was in a very good mood watching Li Yuyan's angry and annoyed face. She stepped forward and placed one hand onto the microphone.
Li Yuyan turned and glared at her, but He Xinyan just smiled back.
Li Yuyan unwillingly let go of the microphone and He Xinyan grabbed it.
She cleared her throat and said, "I would like to take this opportunity to make an announcement too. First, I want to wish a happy birthday to my stepsister."
She turned around and smiled at Li Yuyan. She received a glare back, but because there were several people watching, Li Yuyan grinned fakely.
He Xinyan looked back at the guests and smiled elegantly.
"Next, I want to announce that I will be joining the He Corporation as an intern soon."
He Xinyan turned around and looked at Bai Jiawei with a smile, "Right, dad?"
