When Su Wanwan woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
Seeing herself in a strange white gown...
"Ahhhhhh!"
Damn it!
Did she, by any chance, get taken advantage of while she was drunk?
The door was quickly pushed open, and Mo Weiyi rushed in, "What happened? What's wrong?"
Su Wanwan closed her mouth, casting a disgusted look at the pink apron on her and the ridiculous spatula in her hand...
"Why am I at your place?"
She remembered going out for a drink last night after leaving the Su family's house. She bumped into this guy who couldn't stop blabbering, who she ended up beating up. She broke a lot of things and then…
Massaging her temples, Su Wanwan's head was throbbing with pain, but she couldn't remember anything.
"I've told you so many times not to drink that much. Now you know what a hangover feels like, right? Wait here, I'll get some hangover tea for you." Mo Weiyi mumbled, quickly bringing over the tea.
Su Wanwan looked at her virtuous demeanor, somehow feeling it was all wrong. "Mo Xiaose, when did you change your persona?"
Who is Mo Weiyi?
The sole heir of the Mo Group, which nearly monopolizes all the catering and entertainment industries in Nancheng, owns a number of international hotel chains, and has a foot in both the legal and illegal worlds. A true socialite! She's rich, beautiful, and the envy of many!
With her illustrious background, gorgeous looks, and being called a "princess" all her life...
They had been best friends since kindergarten because they were very alike.
They'd been together for over ten years, and she knew Miss Mo's personality inside and out.
How did she go from a princess who never lifted a finger to a housewife ready to cook and clean just because she got married?
"Xiaobai made it."
After Mo Weiyi spoke, Su Wanwan rolled her eyes dramatically, "...Thank you!"
It was a huge bother that the CEO of the prestigious Mo Group made the hangover tea for her, a worthless ant.
...
After finishing lunch, Su Wanwan said, "I'm going to see grandpa this afternoon."
"Okay, I'll go with you." After Mo Weiyi replied, she remembered something else, "By the way, did your phone run out of battery? I couldn't reach you all night."
"I lost it."
She noticed her phone was missing at the bar, not sure if she misplaced it or it got stolen.
"Then how did you end up drinking with Huo Zhexi?" Mo Weiyi started gossiping.
"Huo Zhexi?" Su Wanwan didn't recognize the name, "Who's that?"
"Huo Zhexi, the third young master of the Huo family, a well-known playboy in Nancheng. The police said you hit him over the head, almost disfiguring him. But instead of settling the score with you, Huo Jingshen paid for all the damage you caused at the bar."
"Huo Jingshen?" Su Wanwan blinked in confusion, "And who's he?"
Mo Weiyi: "..."
A drunk woman with memory loss is truly terrifying!

Su Xueqin was staying at Nangong Hospital, the most luxurious private hospital in Nancheng.
Backed by the medical aristocratic Nangong family, the patients here were all wealthy and influential. The hospital's management was very private and strict; without a special VIP card, ordinary visitors couldn't get in.
Luckily, they had Mo Weiyi's well-known pretty face.
The receptionist treated her with great respect: "Miss Mo, Mr. Su's room number is 2019. Take the elevator to the 20th floor, and turn left."
"Thanks." Mo Weiyi snapped her fingers, and the driver and bodyguard, carrying boxes of all sizes, filed into the elevator.
Displaying a truly princess-like demeanor!
When they got to the 20th floor and the elevator doors opened, they ran into two familiar faces in the hallway.
Su Wanwan quickly squinted her eyes.
Su Yanyan's sarcastic voice started ringing out, "Wow, the Miss of the Su family finally decided to visit grandpa at the hospital?"
Today, she was dressed in an elegant floral dress with high heels, paired with long straight black hair and neat bangs, perfectly fitting the image of a "good girl" in the eyes of the elders.
Jiang Yi smiled warmly, "Wanwan, so you went to see Mo Xiaose last night. You should have called and let us know, you left your dad worried all night."
"Mrs. Su, isn't that a strange thing to say?" Mo Weiyi raised her delicate brows, "Wanwan was so upset she left home and stayed at mine for the whole night. Yet there was no call from you to inquire about her."
Jiang Yi replied without losing her smile, "Isn't it normal for a parent and child to have a little disagreement? Anyway, we all know that Wanwan has a great friend like Miss Mo in Nancheng. Yuntang also specifically asked me to bring Yanyan to visit her father today, predicting Wanwan would certainly come to see her grandfather today. Seeing that Wanwan is alright, I feel at ease now."
Jiang Yi's witty remarks ascribed the reason for Su Wanwan's leaving to father-daughter conflict, absolving herself and praising Mo Weiyi, without mentioning Xing Yuyun at all...
What a crafty move.
Mo Weiyi had no retort and was left gnashing her teeth in anger.
"Wanwan, after visiting your grandfather, please return home. It's not good to impose on Miss Mo all the time. Aunt Yang has already prepared your favorite dishes for lunch," said Jiang Yi in a mother-like tone.
"No need," Su Wanwan declined, "I'll leave those dishes for your future son-in-law."
"What nonsense are you spouting, Su Wanwan? When did Yuyun become my son-in-law?" Su Yanyan was instantly angered by her words.
"Hasn't he moved in?" Su Wanwan tilted her face, her voice innocent yet mischievous, "He's been coming to our house every day, even sleeping in your bedroom. It made me think... that I had returned to the Xing Family instead."
"Su Wanwan, you..."
"Yanyan," Jiang Yi pulled her daughter back suddenly.
Because the door of the sickroom opened, someone was coming out.
Caught up in the moment, Su Wanwan went up to him, "Uncle Zhou."
"Miss?" Zhou Teng was surprised, "When did you return to China?"
"Last night," Su Wanwan, not wanting to elaborate, asked, "Uncle Zhou, how is my grandfather?"
"Oh, the previous operation was successful, and his health has been improving. His spirit is very good today. If he knew that you've come back from overseas specifically for him, he will be very happy. He may even recover and leave the hospital soon!"
Concluding his words, Zhou Teng's smile vanished as he shifted his gaze toward Jiang Yi, "The old man says he's feeling unwell and doesn't wish to see anyone. Madam, please go back and come visit another time."
His attitude before and after was dramatically different.
Even with Jiang Yi's supreme body language skills, she failed to keep her face color from changing.
Su Yanyan stamped her feet in rage, "Why does grandfather always do this? We've come so many times but he refuses to see us. I bet he's just doing it deliberately to annoy us!"
Mo Weiyi could not help but laugh, "Your Grandfather became hospitalized due to anger caused by you, isn't it normal for him not to see you guys? You dare have the audacity to visit him after what you've done? And you're upset that he doesn't want to see you? Such thick skin."
"What did I do, what do you mean by that..."
"Never mind," Jiang Yi jerked her daughter to a stop, her tone still gentle and affectionate, "If Dad doesn't wish to see us, then we'll just leave."
After saying this, she led Su Yanyan away.
**
Once inside the elevator, Jiang Yi began to lecture, "Yanyan, remember that you are Su Family's daughter. You must watch your behavior and words whenever you are in front of others. Think twice before you act impulsively."
"It's just Mo Weiyi, what's so great about her? Mom, what are you so afraid of?" Su Yanyan was dissatisfied.
All these years, because of Su Xueqin's pampering, that wretched Su Wanwan was acting arrogant and dismissive of everyone!
Despite being the illegitimate child of a mere mistress, she enjoyed more privilege than she, the legitimate daughter of the Su family.
And Mo Weiyi, who always ignored her at parties, had a haughty aura of a princess. No matter how many times she tried to please or flatter her, it didn't work.
Su Yanyan felt it was all because of Su Wanwan's behind-the-scene scheming!
If only she had been wary of this illegitimate sister earlier...
"It's not a matter of fear," Jiang Yi was having a headache.
No matter what, Su Wanwan carries the blood of the Su Family in her veins.
Even if she resented it, despised it, or had even personally gone to the hospital for a DNA test, these were undeniable facts.
She just didn't understand why Su Xueqin was so protective of a child borne by a mistress?
Moreover, he ordered her to keep the incident confidential.
"So what if she's close to Mo family's daughter? Wasn't she also dumped by Yuyun? She's just a woman scorned. What's there for her to be proud of?" Su Yanyan's mood suddenly improved when Xing Yuyun was mentioned, "Mom, since grandpa doesn't want to see us, let's go to the bridal shop. I want to pick out a few more dresses."
Even if Xing Yuyun was mad last night, it would not change anything.
At the engagement party, she would let everyone in Nancheng know that she, Su Yanyan, was the true daughter of Su Family!
And Xing Yuyun, was her man!
On the day of engagement, she would be the most beautiful woman present, forcing Su Wanwan to feel ashamed and retreat!
