Chapitre 67: Red Diamond (3)

After a few seconds, she turned around, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "It's definitely real!"

After hearing this, Xia Yiwei's face turned white as well, and she glared at Yi Tingting, pushing all her anger onto Yi Tingting for making such a big commotion.

At once, the balcony exploded as everyone began talking and looking at Xu Anyi in admiration, wondering how in the world she was able to get her hands on a piece from Kla. And it was the main piece!

"Ms. Xu, so that really is a piece from Kla?" One of the guests asked in excitement, "How in the world did you get it? My mother has been trying to get a piece for so many years now, but she has never been able to! If I tell her I was able to see the main piece from Kla's newest collection with my own eyes, she would certainly cry from envy!"

Xu Anyi smiled but did not say much, and this only made the others even more curious and confused.

Didn't the Xu family disappear and fall from power several years ago?

If it weren't for tonight, many of the people here would have forgotten about the existence of the Xu family and Xu Anyi already. But if Xu Anyi wasn't privileged anymore, how could she possibly get the dress?

Then what happened to the Xu family?

Everyone looked at Xu Anyi with both confusion and admiration, and at this moment, everyone here completely forgot about the reason they were here. For Xia Yiwei's birthday.

Starting with the girls, all the guests began crowding around Xu Anyi to try and get a better look at the dress, and several people were taking pictures and asking if they could touch the dress as if it was some unbelievable treasure.

Xia Yiwei's expression was completely dark by now and sensing her anger, Yi Tingting cleared her throat and tried to save the situation, "Okay, well it was all just a misunderstanding! It's been cleared now! Let's get back to the party!"

Several people turned around and looked at Yi Tingting, but no one listened to her.

Yi Tingting could tell that Xia Yiwei was furious by now, and she was also mad at being humiliated, so she exclaimed, "Xu Anyi, you did it on purpose right?! Tonight is Yiwei's birthday! Why are you all dressed up?! You are purposefully trying to steal her spotlight, right?"

Hearing Yi Tingting's words, Xia Yiwei very cooperatively put on a pitiful expression as she looked down with sparkling eyes, as if she was sad but could not do anything about it. Seeing her innocent and dismayed expression, everyone began to feel bad for her again.

Xu Anyi raised an eyebrow as she looked over at Yi Tingting and Xia Yiwei.

Playing the white lotus card? She scoffed. Who didn't know how to do that?!

Her expression switched immediately as well, and she looked confused as she replied innocently, "What do you mean I did it on purpose? I just wore a dress here, and you were the one who came up and pointed it out and made a big deal about my outfit. . . I didn't do anything."

Her voice died down in the end, and she almost seemed to choke on her words as she looked down, hugging herself with her arms.

The sharp contrast to her bold and dazzling appearance from earlier made her seem even more fragile and pitiful, and everyone turned to comfort her again.

The people looked over at Yi Tingting with annoyed expressions as one person said, "Exactly. You were the one who suddenly came over and forced Ms. Xu to prove herself, and now you are pushing the blame onto her?! How shameless!"

Xia Yiwei's face turned green at the comment as well, because she was standing right next to Yi Tingting.

"Yeah, and Ms. Xu is also a girl, and you forced her to unzip her dress in front of everyone. Did you have to be so aggressive and rude?"

"I-" Yi Tingting wanted to defend herself, but Xia Yiwei stopped her, knowing that it would make everything worse.

Her birthday party had already been ruined by this, and she did not want this to go on for any longer. Plus, she realized that behind her, Lu Yuzhe was also looking over in Xu Anyi's direction.

And the next second, Lu Yuzhe took a step forward, looking over at Xu Anyi, "It was all a misunderstanding, it's okay. Tingting and Yiwei were wrong this time, but they did not know either. Let's return to the party."

Xia Yiwei's lips twitched in anger. Although Lu Yuzhe was defending her, she could tell that his attention was also on Xu Anyi at the moment, and she could not say anything about it.

In the end, she could only nod as she said through gritted teeth, "Yeah, it was all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? I think you two should apologize to Mrs. Xu!" One of the guests said, and Xu Anyi silently applauded the guest as she looked up in anticipation, still with a pitiful and sad sparkle in her eyes.

"Sorry. . ." Xia Yiwei said softly, her hands shaking in anger.

Yi Tingting did not want to apologize, but seeing that Xia Yiwei had also apologized, she could only also say sorry very unwillingly.

Luckily, at this moment, there was a ringing sound as the door to the balcony opened and several workers walked in, pushing a large cake onto the balcony.

Xia Yiwei let out a breath of relief as the attention was finally drawn away from Xu Anyi and everyone went over for the cake cutting ceremony.

The cake was enormous and it was specially designed, ordered from a top bakery in Country Z and shipped over here a few hours before the party started.

Everyone began taking pictures and videos of the cake, as it was a beautiful sight, like a piece of art.

"Yiwei, your cake is so pretty! Where is it from?"

Xia Yiwei smiled as the attention was back on her, "I'm not sure, Yuzhe ordered it. . . But I picked the design myself and the cake was made by a top chef who studied baking in Country P."

"Wow. . ."

Everyone gathered around the cake, and it was near the edge of the swimming pool, so Xu Anyi walked over to the back of the cake, near the pool.

There were several candles lit on each layer of the cake already and Xia Yiwei stood in front of the cake, folding her hands together as everyone urged her to make a wish.

She smiled and shut her eyes, and the guests silenced as they waited for her to make a wish.

A sweet smile appeared on her lips as she slowly opened her eyes again, her eyes sparkling with joy as she leaned forward and blew the candles out.

Everyone applauded and someone asked, "What did you wish for?!"

She smiled, glancing over at Lu Yuzhe before saying, "I can't say it out loud. It won't come true then!"

After the candles had been blown out, the people turned to the table behind the cake, where all the gifts had been placed when guests arrived.

"Yiwei, it's time for you to open the presents," Yi Tingting said, pushing Xia Yiwei over to the table.

She looked at the enormous table of presents and sighed, "There's so many. I'll just open a few then."

"Open mine!" A guy from the side spoke, and Xia Yiwei looked through them with a confused expression.

"It's the largest one!"

Xia Yiwei looked through the gifts and saw the enormous red box that stood out amongst the other boxes, and she grabbed it, pulling it open.

The box immediately fell apart, revealing a large pink teddy bear in a white dress, and it was holding a box from a famous luxury brand.

"Wow. . ."

Xia Yiwei's eyes lit up as the guy explained, "I had the bear specially designed! It's the only one in the world!"

Xia Yiwei smiled gratefully as she took the bear out, hugging it tightly. There was a diamond necklace in the box, and everyone stared at Xia Yiwei in envy. The guy seemed to be one of her pursuers in the past, and even though she was with Lu Yuzhe now, he still did not seem to have given up.

After opening his present, Lu Yuzhe stepped forward and grabbed a small black box with a white bowtie from the side, "Open mine."

"Ooh!" Everyone exclaimed excitedly as they watched Xia Yiwei pull open the ribbon and open the box.

At once, the bright sparkle caught everyone's eyes as they saw a matching jewelry set inside, with a necklace, pair of earrings, and a bracelet.

However, there was no ring.

Xia Yiwei gasped as she looked at the set, a hint of disappointment crossing her eyes when she saw that one piece was missing from the set. However, she still looked up at him with teary eyes, smiling, "Thank you, Yuzhe! It looks beautiful!"

Lu Yuzhe smiled and patted her on the head lovingly, taking the necklace out from the box and helping her put it on.

From the side, the other guy who had also given her a necklace frowned slightly, but he did not say anything.

All the girls watched in envy and admiration as they wished they could find a man like that, but at the same time, the guests here couldn't help but hope for some drama as they looked between the lovely couple and the lonely woman standing on the other side.

The ex-wife. . .

Xu Anyi kept a straight expression as she looked ahead, not showing any change or fluctuation in her emotions because she knew everyone was also watching her.

After Xia Yiwei had carefully put Lu Yuzhe's present away, she looked around for another one to open, and at this moment, Yi Tingting spoke up, looking over at Xu Anyi:

"Xu Anyi, where is your present?"
