Chapter 10 You, Me and Her in the Conspiracy 1
“Crunch!”
The piercing sound of emergency brakes pierced the night sky, and the inertia of the car stopping made me lean forward suddenly.
"We're here!" Ying Xuexiang's slightly warm tone saved me from my previous frozen state.
Hurry up, hurry up!
I exhaled, and before my brain could react, I had already opened the car door and jumped out.
But the moment I jumped off the car, the magnificent building that came into my sight made me freeze in place.
The majestic columnar building sparkled with colorful light, and the glittering four words "Golden Hall" were like dazzling stars in the fog, illuminating the entire night. The golden words exuded an unparalleled, domineering aura.
I was one of the invited guests. Could I really walk in? I was late. Would it be rude to walk in?
Moreover, when faced with high-end places that I have never been to, I have a fear of the unknown.
"Let me go in with you!" As if seeing through my thoughts, Ying Xuexiang's gentle voice came over at the right time.
I looked back at him gratefully.
"Stop being dazed and let's go." Ying Xuexiang smiled knowingly, and the corners of her raised mouth bloomed like a flower in the warm winter sun in the cold air.
I nodded and followed Ying Xuexiang's steps.
Entering the venue, stepping on the soft golden carpet, beautiful dance music flows gently in the hall.
The colorful chandeliers with gold as the main color illuminated the sparkling hall, and everyone was walking around in exquisite gowns.
I stood there awkwardly, looking around, trying to find Fuji Xisuku in the crowd.
People were coming and going in the venue, and everyone who passed by me looked at me in surprise, as if I was an uninvited guest.
Fujisaisuku...where are you?
"Yi Yi, Uncle Teng is here." Just when I was extremely panicked, Ying Xuexiang, who had been with me, leaned over and whispered a reminder in my ear.
Uncle Fuji? Isn't that Fuji Xisu's father? I was so nervous that my breath was choked, and I looked in the direction of Ying Xuexiang's gaze——
I saw a middle-aged man in a black suit walking towards me with steady steps.
The neat short black hair and deep facial features were deeply engraved on the face as if carved by a knife. The sharp eyes like an eagle were staring at me, and the tightly pursed lips made me feel an unprecedented sense of power and oppression.
I felt like I was possessed and couldn't move. There was such a strong aura, and Fuji Xisu's father seemed very unhappy to see me.
How can I explain to him so that he can forgive me?
Sure enough, after Fujixisu's father stood in front of me, the first thing he said made me feel ashamed and angry: "Since you are already late, why bother coming?" After saying that, he looked me up and down with an unhappy face, and his eyes could not hide his dissatisfaction.
"I, I..." I organized the words quickly in my mind nervously and panicked.
What just happened was so bizarre. If I tell you the truth, no one will believe me, right?
"Ms. Tian, you don't have to explain to me. I think I see it clearly. I've seen many girls like you. I heard from Xisu that you are a girl who cares about others very much, but my son probably can't see you clearly, but I can see through it at a glance!" Without giving me a chance to explain or apologize, Teng Xisu's father accused me with a cold face.
Does he mean that I'm a bad girl and am deceiving Fuji Xisu?
No!
"Uncle Teng, I didn't mean to be late. If possible, I hope you can listen to my explanation..." I pursed my lips and said with difficulty, trying my best to suppress the panic and helplessness in my heart, just hoping that Teng Xisu's father could give me a chance to explain.
"No, I don't need to hear any explanation! Don't even think about deceiving Xisu again. Please keep your distance from him in the future! Now please leave the Golden Hall, Miss Tian. You are not welcome here!" Teng Xisu's father snorted coldly, with disgust and impatience on his face.
"I..." I stood there in embarrassment. I had imagined that Uncle Teng would dislike me, but I had not expected this situation.
More and more people gathered around, and everyone was whispering.
I stood there at a loss, completely at a loss. Should I just leave like this?
Fujishi Suku's father looked at me coldly, the dissatisfaction in his eyes became more intense, and the discussions around him gradually became louder -
"Oh, so this girl likes Master Teng!"
"Tsk tsk, girls nowadays are so unreserved, they even come to the party!"
"She looks so young, but I didn't expect she's not simple at all!"
…
It seems like a cold wind is blowing towards me. Should I turn around and leave?
"Yi Yi, you're finally here!" Just when I was feeling extremely embarrassed, a soft voice broke the gloom at the scene.
I raised my head and looked at the pretty figure slowly walking towards me.
The pink floor-length evening gown had a few blooming water lilies embroidered on the hem, and the off-shoulder ladylike style made her look more delicate and charming.
"Lucy, please help me and..." My eyes lit up. She would definitely explain it for me.
"Yi Yi, why did you come here just now? I've told you the time of the party many times, but you still don't care. Look, you're late, aren't you?" Lucy interrupted me and scolded me in a relaxed and natural manner.
What? What is Lucy saying? Why can't I understand?
I looked at Lucy in astonishment. Didn't we agree to come together? And I had already left! How come I couldn't understand what she was saying?
"Hmph! I think Miss Tian should go home and rest quickly!" After hearing what Luxi said, Teng Xisu's father became even more sarcastic towards me.
That's not the case! I looked at Fujisashi's father's cold face and tried to explain it to him urgently.
"Yi Yi, why don't we go back first?" Ying Xuexiang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lowered his head and asked.
Should I leave or stay here?
"Uncle Teng, I think we should let Brother Xiang take Yiyi back. Yiyi's condition seems to be not very good! I believe Brother Xiang will take good care of her!" The seemingly gentle voice sounded again slowly, but it made people feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
I looked at Lucy again in surprise. Why was it that I couldn't understand what she was saying anymore?
What did she mean by saying this? By saying this, wasn't she telling Fujisho's father that Ying Xuexiang and I had a special relationship? Wouldn't that deepen Fujisho's father's misunderstanding of me?
Why did she say that? And why didn't Fujisai appear? Where was he?
Just when I was wondering, Lucy, who was standing opposite me, suddenly smiled sweetly and called softly behind me: "Teng Xisu, here!"
The moment I heard this name, my blood began to boil. Has he finally appeared?
I turned my head quickly, and a feeling of urgent need for understanding and help made my eyes shine brightly.
"Fujixi..." I was about to call out his name excitedly, but the moment my eyes met Fujixi's, I swallowed the words back.
Why did he look like that? It was the same as when we first met, no, even colder than before.
I saw Fuji Xisu looked at me expressionlessly, then turned his head away from me. There was ice and snow in his black eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line. He walked past me as if he didn't know me, and finally stood next to Luxi.
"you……"
I just opened my mouth, but Lucy raised her hand and held Fujixi's arm affectionately under my astonished gaze...
"Yiyi, you don't know yet, right? Uncle Teng really wants me to be Teng Xisu's girlfriend!" Lucy said while looking at Teng Xisu shyly, "I think I like him very much, why not take advantage of tonight's party to get engaged!"
Girlfriend? Engaged? Lucy and Fujisai live together?
My eyes widened and I immediately looked at Fuji Xisuku, hoping to see a hint of disgust on his face.
However, what disappointed and saddened me was that Fujixi Suku just stood there indifferently, with no expression on his face, and his indifferent eyes casually looked towards a certain place in the venue, as if he was listening to something very ordinary.
My heart felt like it was burning. He didn't refute Lucy's words, nor did he show any reluctance. Did he tacitly agree to be Lucy's boyfriend and girlfriend? Did he tacitly agree to get engaged tonight?
I looked at the two people standing opposite me with grief, my eyes were hot and a sour feeling surged to the tip of my nose.
Yiyi, don't cry! You absolutely can't cry!
My heart seemed to be torn open, and the heart-wrenching pain continued to spread throughout my body. I slightly shifted my gaze and saw Fujinishi's father smiled, but unfortunately, this smile was not for me.
Lucy gently held Teng Xisu's arm, smiling sweetly and whispering something to him.
I thought sadly, why am I still standing here? Is there anyone here who welcomes me? Or maybe I shouldn't have accepted the invitation to the party in the first place!
So I didn't look at Teng Xisu again, turned around and rushed out of the magnificent golden hall.
"Yi Yi!" A slightly anxious voice came over immediately. It was Ying Xuexiang who had been with me all the time.
I didn't look back, but walked in silence with my head down. The heart-wrenching pain spread, as if a pair of ruthless hands were tightly grasping my heart.
Why did he do that? Why didn't he say no? Why did he look at me so coldly?
All the strength seemed to be drained from my body. I took mechanical steps. The biting night wind penetrated my clothes, bringing a chill. My beautiful blue dress swayed in the wind, as if it was mocking me.
