Chapter 154 Rude
At seven in the evening the party began. Wu Ziliang was thrilled with her news so she announced to everyone about her and Wang Huo’s engagement without waiting for Jiang Yue’s and Wang Minghua’s arrival.
Wu Ziliang just couldn’t let this opportunity pass, so she decided to announce her engagement immediately after the party started..
This announcement earned a lot of gasps and raised eyebrows. After all, it was very unusual for this engagement to still exist with the current situation between the Wang and the Wu families.
Since no one from the Wang Family was present, many people started to think that Wu Ziliang was lying or was pranking them.
But this did not stop some of the prominent people from congratulating her.
After all, if the engagement was true, Wu Ziliang would be the matriarch of the Wang Group.
And the Wang Group meant Jiang Yue.
These people would take every opportunity they could to get closer to Jiang Yue.
When Jiang Yue and Wang Minghua arrived, they were not aware of Wu Ziliang’s announcement.
Jiang Yue originally thought that she would at least wait for them to avoid possible embarrassment, but upon thinking of Wu ZIliang’s current actions towards her family, it would only be logical for her to announce it as soon as possible.
"Yue’er, Minghua... my darling niece and son... Come, Auntie Ziliang will introduce you to my new friends." Wu Ziliang dramatically called Jiang Yue and Wang Minghua, giving the impression that they were really close.
Wang Minghua instantly frowned the moment he heard how Wu Ziliang addressed him.
Son? What son?
Seeing Wang Minghua clench his fists, Jiang Yue immediately elbowed him to wake him up from his stupor.
"Aunt Ziliang..." Jiang Yue kissed Wu Ziliang before handing her a glass of champagne. "Congratulations! Here’s to a happy marriage!" Jiang Yue said, raising her glass of champagne.
Wu Ziliang beamed at Jiang Yue’s gesture. Just as she expected, Jiang Yue did not hate her. She only hated her family for provoking her.
After a few moments, Wang Minghua also joined Jiang Yue in raising his glass towards Wu Ziliang.
This made Wu Ziliang even happier. She instantly raised her glass and made a toast to the duo.
After this toast, Wu Ziliang started introducing Jiang Yue to the people who had congratulated her earlier.
Everyone talked and laughed as if there was no feud between the Wang and Wu families. No one even asked Wu Ziliang about her family. They assumed that Old Man Wu couldn’t show up because of too much embarrassment.
However, who would have thought that this peaceful and happy environment would not last?

Currently Jiang Yue was alone looking at everyone. She was waiting for a great show. If she was right... it was about to begin.
"Bored?" A husky voice interrupted her thoughts.
"Yeah." She shrugged without even turning to see the guy who had dared to approach her. She thought he was just one of the people who wanted to flatter her to get into her good graces.
"Wow. You are the very first person who did not even look at me tonight." The man’s words made Jiang Yue raise an eyebrow. She then turned to look at the man who was standing next to her.
"I only look at beautiful people." She said while inspecting him from head to toe. "You are definitely NOT one of them," She said indifferently before looking at the crowd again.
"You are very rude Miss Jiang."
"And you are too full of yourself Mr.Whoever-You-Are." She countered.
"Pffft!"
"Is there something funny?" She asked.
"No. Okay, let’s start again. Hi, Miss Jiang, I am Quan Lei. I believe you already met my younger sister."
"Hello. I am... not in the mood.. so you should just go away." She answered.
"Well, I won’t force you, so I will go now... but I’m sure, this is not going to be the last time that we will see each other. Goodbye Miss Jiang... I will see you soon" His statement earned him a glare from Jiang Yue. This man was too full of himself. How annoying.
Seeing Jiang Yue’s glare, Quan Lei just smirked at her and walked away.
How irritating. Jiang Yue let out a sigh before checking her watch. How come it was taking so long?
She was getting bored ah.
"Who was that?" Wang Minghua asked while giving Jiang Yue a glass of juice. Jiang Yue did not drink alcohol.
She had only made an exception for Wu Ziliang a while ago.
"Another annoying fly." She answered before taking a sip of her drink.
"Well Fu Jin is not here so... they are fearless enough to approach you. By the way, it’s about time, right?"
Jiang Yue nodded before turning her head towards Wu Ziliang’s direction.
And just like she had predicted, the sound of shattering glass echoed inside the hall gaining everyone’s attention.
Finally.
