Chapter 101 Yousre Not Happy To See Me? (1/2)

Sipping on her mojito, Lu AnLing walked towards the area where she had been sitting. She planned on just sitting there until 3 am and then finding an excuse to leave but fate had other plans for her.

At this point, Lu AnLing's head was pounding so hard because of the loudness and the bright lights and all she wanted to do was get some sleep.

As she walked, her vision blurred slightly, so Lu AnLing stopped to massage her temple.

Abruptly, Lu AnLing was pulled aside. Due to the force of the pull, Lu AnLing let go of her glass and, as she was being dragged away, she watched as it shattered to pieces. However, since the music was so loud, no one had noticed what had just happened.

With complete and utter confusion, Lu AnLing looked towards the one that pulled her, with fear. There, she saw Lu Shuya's perfectly manicured hand wrapped tightly around her arm.

Getting to a less populated area Lu Shuya lessened her grip. Instinctively, Lu AnLing pulled herself away from the girl.

”What's going on?” Lu AnLing asked, her voice containing a lot of annoyance but the emotion that got through was mostly pure confusion.

”We need to talk.”

Lu AnLing squinted her eyes.

Lu AnLing: ”About?”

Lu Shuya looked around with slight worry on her face. ”You sang at the Starlight Event. Why?”

Lu AnLing wanted to ask 'why is that even important?' but she didn't want to talk to Lu Shuya for any longer than necessary.

”…My artist was missing,” Lu AnLing wasn't planning to mention that she got fired, nor the important details of the night, including the fact that she was pretty much scouted. She was going to keep her answer short, sweet and straight to the point.

”So you sang for her…” Lu Shuya finished Lu AnLing's answer.

Lu AnLing: ”It won't happen again though.”

”Yes… that's for the best…” Lu Shuya said.

Turning to look Lu AnLing in the eyes, Lu Shuya gave the girl a blank stare.

Thinking back to their days in high school, Lu Shuya had always thought Lu AnLing was going to pursue something in music, but when the girl had fallen in love with Yang Yize, she completely switched her career path to translation. Lu Shuya understood that Lu AnLing wanted to be useful to the man but, Lu Shuya could never understand someone giving up their pride and dream for a man.

Though, this wasn't a bad thing for Lu Shuya. She no longer needed to compare herself to Lu AnLing since the girl had completely ruined herself.

Lu AnLing never quite understood why Lu Shuya was so interested in her life and her achievements but the girl had been like this, since the day Lu AnLing entered the Lu family. Though she got used to it because this was something her cousins, and even her brother, Lu Duyi, did.

It was something only those born and raised in the Lu family could comprehend.

Suddenly, from a corner, Lu AnLing and Lu Shuya heard a girl giggle.

”Babe! You're here!” The girl's voice said with girlish vigor and love.

”You're not happy to see me?” A male voice said coolly.

Hearing their exchange, Lu AnLing and Lu Shuya knew who the people, speaking in such an intimate fashion, were. It was Xiao Mian and her fiancé. The real shocker here though, the one that stung at Lu AnLing's heart was that she knew exactly who the man's voice belonged to.

Yang Yize…

With no time to think, Lu Shuya approached the corner and looked down the hall. As she started to move, Lu AnLing tried to stop the girl but Lu Shuya slapped Lu AnLing's hand away.

Blankly, Lu Shuya gazed down the hall.

The hall itself was crowded, so despite Lu Shuya seeing Xiao Mian and Yang Yize, the two didn't notice her. They would've only been able to do it if they were looking for her.

Seeing the strange mix of anger, hurt and various other emotions in Lu Shuya's eyes, Lu AnLing felt a strange feeling stir within her. Walking up to Lu Shuya, Lu AnLing felt a bit like their roles were reversed.

Lu Shuya seemed more hurt by the situation than Lu AnLing did.

Looking straight at the couple, Lu AnLing saw Yang Yize with his arms wrapped around Xiao Mian's waist as their lips locked.

Watching the scene, both Lu AnLing and Lu Shuya's eyes widened. A faraway look then appeared in Lu Shuya's eyes.

Lu Shuya turned to look at Lu AnLing and then she tightly gripped onto Lu AnLing's arm.

”I-I didn't know. I promise I didn't.”

Lu Shuya didn't usually apologize or admit to her own wrongs but this situation concerned her pride. Yang Yize was still a family friend and she treated him well but that didn't mean she liked or accepted the fact that he had cheated on Lu AnLing. Her pride as a woman and as Lu AnLing's sister — despite her not liking it—prevented her from doing so.

But now this…

”…” Lu AnLing didn't say a word. In fact, she didn't even move a muscle.

She remembered how just a while ago Yang Yize had gotten angry about the fact that she had a child and now he was shoving his tongue down Xiao Mian's throat.
