章節 59: Shatter

After Jiang Yue left, Jiang Mian's smile almost never left her face.

Hundreds of ideas are already buzzing inside Jiang Mian's head. If the plan is successful, then Fu Jin will surely let Jiang Yue go.

Jiang Mian can then grab this opportunity to get close to him. She can't help but beam even more. She could already feel it. Their success.

She then roamed her eyes towards the people in the patio. She decided to contain her excitement and approach Fu Jin.

Fu Jin is alone. Drinking all by himself. He is obviously in a bad mood. Fu Jin is very much against Jiang Yue's plan but she assured him of her safety. He had no choice but to support her. Somehow he felt helpless against Jiang Yue's stubbornness.

Fu Jin let out a sigh. She asked him to trust her. And he could give her that. But the thought of seeing Jiang Yue hurt is still keeping him nervous.

"Young Master Fu. I hope you are enjoying my party." Jiang Mian Coyly said while her face started to blushed scarlet. She looked like an awkward demure girl trying to ask for directions. And who wouldn't answer a girl like that?

However, contrary to Jiang Mian's expectation, Fu Jin didn't answer her. Instead, he furrowed his brows and moves two-steps away from her.

"Get the hell away from me, woman!" He growled.

Fu Jin's sudden outburst shocked Jiang Mian and a few other guests who heard him. This is unusual even for them.

They always thought that Young Master Fu is not the type of guy who used curses. They saw him as a refined, elegant and handsome young master.

How could he act rudely towards a woman?

"Young Master Fu... I... I don't remember offending you." Jiang Mian trembled as her face and neck grew even redder from embarrassment.

"I don't have any business with you." Fu Jin tried to calm down while clenching his jaws. He can't just snap like that. But who could blame him? He can't stop thinking about Jiang Yue. "Get the hell away from me." He added.

"Young Master Fu please don't treat Miss Jiang Mian like that. Tonight is her birthday after all. If you are angry at Miss Jiang Yue for getting drunk then you should not include her sister. Please give her some chance, she is just asking if you like her party ah."

"That's right Young Master Fu, It was Young Miss Jiang Yue's own fault for not knowing her own limitations. Miss Jiang Mian is not at fault at all."

Some people tried to protest against Fu Jin's harsh reaction, making him feel irritated even more.

"Say another word, and I will make each of your company disappear!" His overbearing words silenced everyone. Then he narrowed his eyes at Jiang Mian. "You think I didn't know what happen? You are the only person who gave her a drink aside from me."

"Xiao Yue does not drink any alcohol! You give her one sparkling wine and suddenly she is already drunk?"

After Fu Jin made his statement, everyone who heard him can't help but swallow whatever they wanted to say to him earlier.

He has a point! Some of them witness Jiang Mian giving Jiang Yue a sparkling wine in the pretense of having a toast for friendship.

Fu Jin's statement clearly means one thing! The Young Miss Jiang Yue must have been drugged. Now, if they are following Fu Jin's logic, then the one who drugged Jiang Yue is...

Most girls who witness the scene paled, some have a very ugly expression in their faces.

Jiang Yue accepted the wine because she thought it was a true sign of friendship. Who would have thought that her sister is really hell-bent on destroying her?

"Young Master Fu, don't slander me. I did not do anything to Elder sister. I... She must have forgotten her own alcohol tolerance... Young Master Fu please don't say something that might ruin my reputation. I am still an unmarried girl after all." Jiang Mian deflected.

Right now, it's already too late for Fu Jin to stop their plan. Their plan is already close to completion. And if her guess is right, her mother will arrive in this area, right about now.

"Miss Jiang, You don't need me to help you ruin your reputation. You are already perfectly doing that to your own pitiful self!" Fu Jin sneered before walking away without sparing another glance at Jiang Mian.

The crowd immediately disperse themselves after Fu Jin left. Some girls already promise not to associate themselves to Jiang Mian and would even inform their parents about what happened tonight. Some guys also promised to inform their family about today's events so they can avoid a marriage engagement with Jiang Mian. After all, who would want to associate themselves to a poisonous girl like her?

Jiang Mian was left alone by everyone clenching her fist in anger. It's already too late for them to stop their plan now.

While Jiang Mian is still wondering how Fu Jin could have known what she did, Lu Shi arrived with Jiang Chanming and some investors.

"Xiao Mian, where is your sister? Some investors wanted to talk to her about the company. Both of you are of age to handle matters like this." Her mother asked cheerfully. Of course, she is already aware that Jiang Yue is not here.

"Jiang Mian where is your sister? Mrs. Johnson wanted to talk to her privately." Her father inquired. Jiang Chanming is not aware of Lu Shi and Jiang Mian's plan. He always thought that this birthday will end with happy memories.

"Ah.... she... she got a little drunk and went on the second floor to rest. Young Master Fu is a little upset because of this." She stated. "But she should be okay now, I could go ahead and get her for you." Jiang Mian immediately volunteered.

The plan is already in motion. No matter what Fu Jin or everyone in the patio thinks, she can't already stop it halfway. There is no going back on this one.

"How about we all go together? So I can tour you in my painting collections as well? It is just next to the guest's room after all." Lu Shi suggested.

"What a good idea!" One guest immediately agreed. The party is getting a little boring anyway so it is only reasonable for them to seek another way to entertain themselves.

Seeing everyone nodding their heads. Lu Shi and Jiang Mian immediately lead them to the second floor. Since their conversation is nor private, some people of Jiang Mian's age who heard them also chose to follow.

Both mother and daughter are leading more than 15 people of prominent figures on the second floor. Seeing a large crowd gather towards the stairs, some guests also felt curious and can't help themselves but follow everyone.

Seeing the crowd becoming larger and larger behind them, Jiang Mian can't help but feel a little nervous. Fu Jin already guessed what happened. It should not be hard for other people to guess as well. She looked at the people following them, seeing that Fu Jin is not one of them made her a little calm.

On the other hand, Lu Shi can't stop the big smile in her face. She can already feel the victory looming above her head. Jiang Yue will finally be ruined after tonight. Lu Shi made her steps a little longer so they would arrive at the guest room faster.

"Everyone, this is our simple gallery." She gestured her hand at the gallery of paintings at the hall across the guest room. "I will fetch Miss Jiang Yue before I introduce you to every painting in this room." Then Lu Shi made her way into the door.

She opens the door and her face turned pale. Then she purposely let go the glass of wine that she is holding. Making a big shatter sound attracting everyone's attention.

She looked nervously at everyone's varied expression as the moans and gasps inside the room started to reach everyone's ears across the hall.
