Hello, Mr Li
/ Hello, Mr Li Chapter 96 - Blackmail
The party continued. Although, people frowned at the idea of getting pregnant before marriage, they had to congratulate them with a smile on. But unlike Weiyoung who accepted their wishes with open arms, everyone in the Mo family was shocked. What was she thinking making such plans on her own and announcing it to the public? Aida was especially stiff and angry. All effort to pull her son higher than her brother Dexi keeps failing. What was she going to do now? How was she going to raise the idea of bringing the Songs and Mos closer through marriage when Weiyoung had publicly announced in front of everyone, including Song Changyu that she was pregnant for Jinyong.
Weiyoung smiled at her. "Mother, you shouldn't be too shocked. These things happen all the time" She assured her and went back to her sit.
Muchen's heart raced faster whenever he looked at her. He could still remember their hug earlier. How her soft, delicate body snuggled to his. Just a hug from Sara and he was feeling this way. He remembered his past flings. He hugged them also. But why was Sara's driving him crazy? Her scent was still all over him. He looked at her direction again and saw Dexi leaning closer to her. His gaze turned cold. He was obviously tired of the party. He would have left a long time ago if Sara was not there. He would make sure to take Sara home himself. He had also been waiting for her to exert her 'revenge' but nothing was happening on her end. She had just been sitting there with Dexi. Though, she occasionally glanced at his direction while he acted like he wasn't paying attention to her.
He thought she was going to be sad when she heard about Weiyoung being pregnant for her ex-boyfriend. But she didn't react at all and just joined the others to clap when they did. To Sara, the best punishment she could ever give to them was to allow the both of them get married on peace. For some reason, she knew it was going to be hell for the both of them once they did so.
Dexi was chuckling in his sit. 'She is smart' he thought.
He had actually gotten a whiff of what Aida was going to do. From his side, he was going to keep pulling Jinyong down whenever he tried to surpass him. He made sure to let the information get to Weiyoung. He knew about her family's problem and was very sure she would want to cling to the Mos at this critical time. He was happy she hadn't disappointed him.
"Are you that happy she's becoming your niece in-law?" Sara asked.
"Yes. I am very happy" He admitted with a smile and then leaned closer to whisper in her ear "Won't you like to be her Aunt in-law?"
Sara's eyes unconsciously went to where Muchen was seated and their eyes met. He was looking at them with a really cold expression. She startled and pushed Dexi's head away from close to hers.
Dexi didn't find her reaction offensive. He was used to her ways already. He looked at Jinyong, who still had a stiff smile on as he accepted the good wishes from various guests. Dexi couldn't help laughing out.
"You are Sara right?"
Sara looked at the young lady in front of her who was blocking her view of Muchen. She was not sure she had met her before so how come she knew her?
"You are?" Sara asked politely without bothering to get up.
"I knew it. I'm Guan Lanbi. We were classmates in highschool. Wow. you really changed. I almost didn't recognise you" She was not speaking softly so most people heard her. If further confirmed their suspicion that Sara was from a rich family if she went to the same high school as Guan Lanbi.
Sara had no idea who she was. She never cared about her classmates in highschool. Those she could remember can be counted with her five fingers. Sara offered her a smile. "Nice to meet you Miss Guan. But I'm sorry I don't actually remember you."
"I got prettier." She said and threw Dexi, who wasn't even bothering with her, a flirty smile. She moved closer to Sara to whisper in her ear. "A lot of people here thinks you look familiar. I guess they don't remember you from Mo Jinyong and Liu Weiyoung's engagement party. And they all think you belong to the Socialite circle" She stood upright and smiled at Sara before strolling to an empty corner to stand quietly.
Sara knew instantly that this girl was trying to blackmail her. And common sense told her to follow Lanbi. She couldn't risk becoming the main topic tonight. She only came for one thing and had to do it. She looked at where Changyu had been sitting and to her greatest shock, the woman was no longer there. She had no idea when Changyu left there since she had been busy staring at Muchen. What was wrong with her tonight? why was she not setting her priorities right.
"I see you are smart after all" Lanbi complimented.
Sara's mind was not there. She wanted to go look for Changyu but Lanbi held her forearm firmly with both hands.
"How do you think everyone would react when they realise you were the same person who tried to ruin Mo Jinyong's engagement and are now here with his uncle. Do you want to know the kind of names they will call you?" Lanbi have her a small smile. Sara closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She reminded herself not to cause a scene. Muchen was here. She also didn't want him or Changyu to hear about that incident even though she was now aware that Muchen had been there that day. She was too embarrassed to ask him so she decided to let the matter die and keep acting like she knew nothing.
"Can you hurry up and tell me what you want to say?" Sara urged her as she pushed Lanbi's hands from hers.
Lanbi smiled and whispered to her.
"I saw you speaking with CEO Li earlier."
"What has he got to do with this?" Sara asked.
"Introduce me to him"
