The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 540 A Competitive Even

Cindy Hao’s press conference cause a massive uproar in the entertainment industry. After all, she is not just a small actress and the Yu Entertainment is considered one of the bigger agencies int he Industry. Aside from this, her words were extremely honest and direct. She called out Yu Jing and even have a few evidence against the latter.

Various media personalities tried to contact both Qiao Qiao and CEO Yu but not even their secretary and assistant can get ahold of them.

Meanwhile, Yu Jing and Qiao Qiao are having fun at the birthday party. After all, this was actually the first time that Yu Jing brought someone to introduce to his family. Moreover, he also brought someone as beautiful as Qiao Qiao! Even his grandfather seemed so happy for him on the outside.

Of course, this was all pretense. This birthday party is documented and has video cameras watching their every move. Would they really risk losing control and expose their true selves to the media?

"Qiao Qiao... this is actually the first time that Cousin Jing brought someone as beautiful as you." One of Yu Jing’s cousin had a peal of condescending laughter.

"In fact, this is the first time that he introduced someone to everyone."Another one chimed in. Their voices sound cordial and kind yet, Qiao Qiao knew that these people were all laughing at them behind their backs.

She knew that Yu Jing was not that good looking compared to his cousins. His eyes were too small, his lips too thin. Even though his mother is a previous actress in her younger years, Yu Jing still inherited the qualities of his father that he also got from Old Man Yu.

She also knew that growing up, Yu Jing had been bullied because of his appearance. He might be the eldest son of the current CEO of Yu Corp, but his appearance and his intelligence are sub-par. Compared to his cousins who are managing other companies, he is actually very average. Without the money that he used to buy branded clothes and pieces of jewelry, she was sure that Yu Jing would not stand out in the crowd.

In the end, Qiao Qiao nodded and smiled. Her goal tonight is to impress them and she thought that having a forceful personality would not earn the approval of these people.

"Ah... I heard that mother was able to invite the new couple who just bought the wonderful mansion a few houses away!" a woman who recognized herself as Yu Jing’s younger sister said. Her appearance was somewhat like Yu Jing except for her beautiful phoenix eyes that she inherited from their mother. Her skin was also pale and looked delicate making her looked really beautiful especially when wearing make up.

"I thought my father did the same thing too?" Yu Jing’s cousin sneered. While some of them chose to hide their intentions, this one is pretty vocal about the current competition in the family. In fact, since Yu Jing and Qiao Qiao arrived, he had been commenting about Yu Jing’s black suit and her gown.

"Really? Who is this couple? Are we familiar with them?" Yu Jing asked as he gestured to the waiter for a glass of champagne.

The conversation was interrupted when gasps echoed inside the whole garden. Low murmurs followed it before both Jiang Ruo and the Second Master of the Yu Family walked to welcome the new guests.

Meanwhile, Qiao Qiao’s breath hitched when she saw a woman wearing a pale pink dress that seemed to sparkle under the light, making her look like a deity. She was walking hand in hand with her husband who was wearing a navy blazer on top of a simple shirt paired with beige chinos. It was Lily and Zhou Jingren!

Compared to everyone else, no one could argue that their outfits looked too casual. However, the way they walked and carried themselves screamed nothing but elegance and wealth. Clearly, the two exudes something else that made them stand out from the crowd.

"Who invited them?" she heard Yu Jing hissed next to her. However, Qiao Qiao does not need to say anything to know that they were invited by the Yu Family. If she was right, then Lily and Zhou Jingren was the neighbor that they were talking just now.

She lowered her head and tried to stop herself from looking at the woman who is socializing with other visitors. In Qiao Qiao’s eyes, Lily was too bright. It was blinding her.

"Jing... relax." Qiao Qiao said. At this point, she doesn’t know if the anger from Yu Jing’s voice was sincere or not. "We are about to present our gifts soon." She reminded him.

As if on cue, the voice of Yu Jing’s father echoed, announcing that they will begin presenting their gifts to the old man. Apparently, this is a custom that they always follow every year.

The story says that to make his children more competitive and work harder, the old man started opening his presents in front of everyone. He wanted everyone will know what kind of things his children and grandchildren got him.

Because of this, the guests adapted. And it resulted in such a competitive event where people would compete who could give the best gift just to show their wealth to everyone.

The Yu Family might not be as rich as everyone who attended the party, but the old man was very well respected and is adored by most of people here.

After the announcement, everyone at the party got excited. After all, most of these people do not really care about the money they spent on a certain gift. They care more about the prestige that they will receive from everyone.

This party is composed of politicians and prominent people from Mainland China. This included very old families that goes back to the last dynasty in the country. With this type of visitors, who would dare miss this opportunity to show off?

"Alright! Why don’t we start with the power couple who just arrived?" It was Jiang Rou. She beamed at Lily and Zhou Jingren. After arriving late, Zhou Jingren offered to drink two glasses of wine in front of everyone and told them that Lily is allergic to alcohol. Since Lily did not drink the wine herself it should be completely reasonable that she gives another compensation for being late, right?
