Chương 40: The Black Dress

Jiang Yue's 18th birthday is going to be a big celebration.

His grandfather and Wang Hou personally managed all the arrangements. Form the venue to the color motif. To the food and invitations. Jiang Yue's role is just to show up for the dress rehearsals and food tastings.

Since her body was not well, Jiang Yue had no choice but to sit inside her room and wait for the seamstress for the dresses that she will wear for her party.

Jiang Yue wanted a simple party, but her grandfather insisted on having it grand. Wang Guiren had two reasons for doing this.

First, he wanted to let everyone know that Wang Minghua and Jiang Yue will be the heirs of the Wang Group.

And the second is to show everyone how much he dotes on his granddaughter.

Wang Guiren even chose a Western Style party with a 6 feet five-tier fondant purple and gold cake made by one of the most famous pastry chefs abroad.

The party will take place in a five-star hotel in the City, and all of the country's elites were invited. That includes the other 3 prestigious families in the country.

For Jiang Yue, this is completely unnecessary. In her previous life, she requested for a grand party from her grandfather. Of course, her grandfather complied. However, she ended up ruining it.

She still remembers the details of her previous life's debut. She mistakenly wore a piece of Jewelry that was said to be Jiang Mian's. Jiang Chanming personally gave the necklace to her just before her party started. He then said it was her mothers.

And the fool Jiang Yue was so happy she even asked her grandfather if it was really Wang Rou's necklace. She decided to wear it even though it did not match her clothing.

At the party, Lu Qian, Jiang Mian's cousin then told everyone how Jiang Mian lost a necklace that looks exactly like Jiang Yue's. Hinting to everyone that she stole it from her sister.

Since everyone was already aware of Jiang Yue's competitive nature, they eventually believed Lu Qian.

Of course, this made Jiang Yue furious. She eventually created a ruckus and slapped Jiang Mian in front of everyone.

This incident earned her the nickname "stupid heiress" and created problems for the Wang Group. Most shareholders tried to question her aggressive attitude and competitive nature.

In the end, her grandfather relinquished his previous statement. Making Jiang Yue a laughing stock in the whole country.

She could not blame her grandfather's action. After all, almost all major shareholders stand against her grandfather's decision in making her a part of the company. They even threatened to withdraw their shares, putting her grandfather in a very big dilemma.

This incident became so big that it was in the news for the next few days. Jiang Yue tried to tell everyone that it was her father who gave her the necklace. But no one believed her. All they did was ridicule her. The stupid heiress who would steal just to compete with her sister.

Jiang Yue can't help but shake her head as the memories came flashing in her head. Her father, Lu Shi and Jiang Mian all contributed to her previous life's action. But for some reason, she does not blame them.

She felt that she was just too stupid to react the way she did in her previous life. This allowed people to manipulate her.

The incident in her previous life is also one of the reasons why she did not want to have this party. She really does not like to associate herself with other rich and prestigious family.

She remembers how they praised her like a deity when she was in her best state but left and laughed at her during her darkest days.

These people are all hypocrites. They will treat you well if you can benefit them and leave you in the dirt when you are at your worst.

"Young Miss, this dress suits you perfectly, what do you think?" Her thoughts were interrupted by the middle-aged woman beside her. She is none other than the Wang family's personal seamstress.

Jiang Yue stared at her reflection in the full body mirror in front of her. She is currently wearing a mermaid style gown in peach. The color of the dress highlighted her pale and flawless skin.

"Hmm... I don't like mermaid dresses. I find it really hard to move around. Do you have the black Trumpet Dress? The one that I designed?" She inquired. Mermaid and Trumpet dresses are almost the same. Except for the flares of the two dresses.

Mermaid and Trumpet dresses will perfectly fit someone's body. However, mermaid dresses have their flares below the knee making it harder to move or even walk.

On the other hand, the flare of the Trumpet dress is mid-thigh. Although it is not as dramatic as a Mermaid dress, it is very comfortable and easier to handle.

Jiang Yue decided to draw a black trumpet dress and asked the seamstress to make it for her. Although black is a very unconventional color for a birthday, she believes that black is a very good color for her 18th birthday.

For some, black symbolizes negativity and sadness. But for Jiang Yue, black is a symbol of power, mystery, and sophistication. Black is the color that perfectly suits her after the rebirth.

The seamstress then gave her a black strapless trumpet dress full Swarovski crystals. Jiang Yue lets out a smile while looking at the dress. "This is perfect!" She beamed.
