130 Outshadowing The Host

As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw Cai Rixi, who was walking over with two wine glasses.

Cai Rixi was tall and a naturally imposing aura. Ming Liuyi was very radiant today, and her aura was not suppressed by Cai Rixi at all. If one had to compare, be it appearance or clothing, Ming Liuyi was better than Cai Rixi.

Cai Rixi subtly mocked, “Liuyi’s outfit today seems to be trying to overshadow the host.”

It was as though there was gunpowder in the air. Cheng Sanjin and Shao Mo looked at each other, wondering if they should help their sister-in-law handle the problem. They had to think of a way. After all, Cai Rixi was mocking their sister-in-law!

But Cai Rixi was a girl, so the two men could not say anything. However, if their sister-in-law was bullied, Yao Zizhou would definitely tear them apart!

Ming Liuyi’s expression was calm, as if she did not hear the hidden meaning in Cai Rixi’s words. She looked at Cai Wenlun, who was welcoming the guests, and said indifferently, “Today is Mr. Cai’s birthday banquet. I’m just a girl. How can I overshadow the host?”

Then she blinked her eyes, as if she had understood something, and continued, “You meant… yourself? Oh, thank you! You’re very pretty, too.”

The meaning of Ming Liuyi’s words was very obvious: Since you praised me, I will also praise you back.

Cheng Sanjin and Shao Mo were astounded. The two of them exchanged a look. This sister-in-law looked gentle, but she was really cool when she dissed someone!

Cai Rixi’s face instantly darkened, but she could not flare up in such an occasion. She had wanted to come and mock Ming Liuyi for not having a good family background and not knowing the rules, and then explain it to her condescengly, hoping that she would lose her composure in public.

But Cai Rixi did not expect Ming Liuyi to not play by the rules.

Cai Rixi’s expression changed again and again. In the end, she pretended to be decent and said, “Thank you, Liuyi. I’ll get back to work. Take care of yourself.”

After saying that, Cai Rixi nodded to the two men and left. Since she did not succeed the first time, of course she must attempt another.

Cai Rixi called a waiter over and asked him to prepare a cocktail. The fruity flavor had to be very strong, and the alcohol even stronger.

Ming Liuyi did not think too much about her encounter with Cai Rixi, and went straight to the bar.

“Sister-in-law, what do you want to drink?” Cheng Sanjin asked. “I’ll order it for you.”

“Orange juice will do,” Ming Liuyi said.

The waiter at the bar counter immediately said, “I’m sorry, we just used up our last batch of orange juice for another table’s order and sent it to them. If you’re in a hurry, I’ll go get more for you now. If you can wait for a moment, some fresh oranges will be arriving soon, and I can prepare the juice for you at once.”

Cheng Sanjin looked at Ming Liuyi. Ming Liuyi shook her head and said, “Forget it, just give me a glass of sparkling water.”

The waiter nodded and turned to get a bottle of sparkling water. He placed it in front of Ming Liuyi and said, “I’m very sorry. I’ll make you a fresh glass of orange juice and serve it to you at once.”

…

By the time Cai Wenlun finished receiving his guests, it was almost time to start the banquet.

He brought his wife, Chen Xiaomei, to the stage in the courtyard. After making sure that everyone’s eyes were on them, he said a few words of thanks for everyone’s warm support. He especially wanted to thank Yao Zizhou for coming over.

Yao Zizhou nodded slightly from the balcony on the second floor.

After that, Cai Rixi went on stage. She had quickly changed into a plain qipao. Time was short, and it was impossible for Cai Rixi to win a point against Ming Liuyi. So, she tried to win a point using the elegant route.

She stood on the stage like a lotus flower out of the water, pure and beautiful. She also attracted everyone’s attention and they all started talking.

“Ms. Cai is an excellent writer, and her books are bestsellers. Her temperament is indeed different.”

“As expected of a family of scholars. Although she doesn’t have any jewelry on her, there’s a different kind of beauty.”

“Mr. Cai is already very successful. His daughter is also outstanding. I’m really envious.”

When she heard everyone’s chatter, Cai Rixi revealed a satisfied smile. She said, “Today is the birthday of my most beloved and respected father. As a daughter, I hope that my father will not be too busy with work in the future. He must be healthy and happy.

“What my father is most anxious about is when I would get married. So today, on the day of my father’s birthday, I would like to double the happiness. Ziyang, come here.”

Cai Wenlun was dumbstruck, and so was Yao Ziyang.

‘What’s she doing? We never discussed this before!’

This was not a surprise, it was a shock! And it had ruined Yao Ziyang’s plan! Under everyone’s gaze, Yao Ziyang could only brace himself and go onto the stage.

Cai Rixi said in a pretentious voice, “This is Yao Ziyang from the Yao Corporation. I’m sure everyone knows him. We’re about to be engaged!”

Yao Ziyang could only say, “I wish uncle good health, and may all your hopes be fulfilled. Thank you, everyone, for your blessings.”

Cai Wenlun had nothing to say. He had never agreed to this marriage!
