Chapter 103: She’s The One

Ye Bowen stopped leaving his house ever since the leg injury. Due to that, Li Yuan quit working for the Ye family and became a driver for the Leng family instead. It was said that Young Master Leng was organizing some sort of gathering in Leng Jue.

 The place was not crowded by the time Chu Wuyou arrived. This was because she wanted to turn up earlier before everyone else. She positioned herself at an inconspicuous corner intentionally so that she could observe every guest that arrived later.

 People came flooding into the private room after half an hour. Naturally, a gathering organized by Young Master Leng would be attended by numerous guests.

 Young Master Leng himself had also arrived but Li Yuan was still nowhere to be found.

 Chu Wuyou’s eyes darkened as she pondered on the possibilities. Was Li Yuan not here? Or was he simply waiting outside of the private room? He was only a driver, after all, and it made sense that he would be waiting on the outside.

 Chu Wuyou decided to wait for a little longer. She would search for Li Yuan elsewhere if the latter still failed to show up.

 However, right at that moment, Chu Wuyou discovered the last person she wanted to see in this world – Chu Ninger.

 As luck would have it, Chu Ninger was being led toward her sister’s hiding place.

 “Sister, why are you here? Aunt Liu said you went away on a holiday.” The sharp-eyed Chu Ninger noticed Chu Wuyou within seconds and appeared dumbfounded at her discovery.

 Chu Wuyou threw a cold glance at her sister without replying. She was not bothered to speak to the latter.

 “Sister, this gathering is organized by Young Master Leng. How did you get in?” However, Chu Ninger decided to pester Chu Wuyou further as humiliating the latter was her greatest objective in life.

 She thought Chu Wuyou that had just returned from abroad would not have the connections to get invited to a gathering thrown by Young Master Leng.

 “I lied my way in, just like you did.” Chu Wuyou sounded nonchalant yet a faint smile appeared on her face.

 Chu Wuyou did not care about these things as much as her younger sister.

 Her remarks struck Chu Ninger’s sore spot. In actuality, Chu Ninger had pleaded with her acquaintances in order to get into tonight’s banquet.

 Chu Ninger’s face darkened and her gaze became fierce as if she wanted to tear her sister apart. For reasons unknown to herself, however, she felt slightly terrified when she looked at her sister again.

 She dared not act rashly as she was reminded of both her previous failures.

 Soon, she regained her composure. The night was still young and she reckoned there must be ways to make a fool of Chu Wuyou.

 It was because of Chu Wuyou that her prestige suffered a disastrous decline. She would not be Chu Ninger if she did not avenge for herself.

 She turned to leave upon seeing her elder sister’s smug attitude.

 Not long later, a service attendant seemed to have lost balance while walking past Chu Wuyou and a glass full of alcohol was about to fall on the latter.

 The agile attendant managed to get hold of the glass but still spilled some alcohol on her.

 “Sorry. I’m so sorry.” The attendant apologized continuously and bent down to clean the drink off Chu Wuyou.

 Simultaneously, another woman opened Chu Wuyou’s purse and planted something in it in a matter of seconds.

 The attendant kept trying to clean the stain off Chu Wuyou shirt while apologizing constantly.

 “It’s alright. You should get back to work.” Chu Wuyou threw a glance at the attendant and her eyes darkened.

 “Thank you, thank you.” The attendant immediately rose to her feet and left.

 Chu Wuyou turned to look at her purse and the corners of her lips slowly curled upward to form a smile. Not bad, they had put on a pretty good performance, but did they think these old tricks could escape her observant eyes? They definitely thought too highly of themselves.

 Despite the realization, Chu Wuyou did not react strangely but pretended as if nothing had happened instead. She remained seated calmly as before.

 “It’s her. She’s the one who stole my necklace. Quick, arrest her.” About five minutes later, two women rushed toward Chu Wuyou along with several guards.

 Chu Wuyou was seated in an inconspicuous corner that was barely noticeable in the dim light of the private room. Initially, no one in the crowd had even noticed her but all eyes were on her within a matter of seconds.

 Someone even adjusted the light to illuminate Chu Wuyou’s position. All of a sudden, her face was clearly presented to the crowd under the broad spotlight.

 Chu Wuyou gave away an enigmatic smile. They thought she was a feeble girl just because she did not reveal her true colors?!

 She was already feeling frustrated because the person she was looking for did not show up. Who would have expected some reckless person dared to provoke her.

 Well, well, well.
