When I was slapped to the ground, I was completely stunned.
My ears were filled with buzzing discussions, and the light from the crystal chandelier made my eyes hurt. I tried to get up by holding on to the ground, but my high heels stepped on my skirt and I fell back down again. The ladies in gold and silver around them covered their mouths and snickered, their eyes full of the idea of watching a good show.
Jiang Chen stood in front of me, the face that I had loved for three years was filled with disgust. He was wearing an expensive dark blue suit, with a groomsmen's corsage on his chest, and looked at me condescendingly.
"You seduced other men behind my back, and you still have the nerve to come to my engagement party?"
When he said this, his voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for everyone present to hear. The whole place was in an uproar, and countless eyes fell on me, slashing me like knives.
I opened my mouth, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something.
But he didn't give me a chance to speak. He took a step back and let out the woman in a white dress behind him.
Lin Yao.
My biological sister. My half-sister who is two years younger than me. Now she is wearing the custom-made dress that I picked out with her last month, and the necklace that Jiang Chen originally said, "When I make enough money, we will get engaged," and she is standing in the position that should belong to me.
"Sister," Lin Yao's eyes were red, her voice was gentle and aggrieved, "I know you have always liked Brother Jiang Chen, but you can't force things with love... Why did you find someone to destroy the Jiang family's business? How did you become like this..."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere instantly exploded.
