Chapter 229 - Xiong Zhis gift (II) (1/2)
”What do you say, Young Miss? I am very excited to open it now.” Xiong Wuyue's happy smile and anticipating eyes made the guests smile too. Seeing a girl so happy to receive a gift and very excited to open it right there and then, it was truly a refreshing scene.
If they only knew what was behind that joyful smile.
Xiong Zhi simply stared at Xiong Wuyue with a faint smile in return. She did not say anything.
Seeing that she did not talk, Xiong Wuyue got even more exhilarated. But she still kept on an innocently happy expression.
”Please bring a scissor.”
As soon as Xiong Wuyue said that though, Xiong Zhi took a step forward, still with a faint smile, as her cold eyes looked at Xiong Wuyue.
”Are you sure you want to open it right now?”
Xiong Wuyue triumphantly lifted the corner of her mouth into a smug smile for a split second, before it immediately turned to an innocent and excited smile.
”Of course! It's your gift after all. I really want to see it and show it off to everyone,” she said, emphasizing the phrase 'show it off' maliciously.
The world would witness just how despicable of a bitch Xiong Zhi was. People would then side with her, Xiong Wuyue, the poor victim targeted by the bitch.
She saw Xiong Zhi frown slightly.
Seeing her frown, coupled with her earlier act of trying to stop her, made Xiong Wuyue tremble in excitement all the more.
Her guess was right! Xiong Zhi must have put something malicious in this box!
Overwhelmed with excitement, she no longer waited for a pair of scissors from the attendants. She impatiently used her nails to tear off the wrap in a rather wild manner.
She wanted everyone to see just how she was bullied by this bitch! Today was the day that this bitch would be isolated by the society and get branded as the crazy woman who brought a disgusting gift to humiliate her cousin in the middle of her birthday party!
That would be the best story ever!
Xiong Wuyue almost destroyed the box.
Xiong Zhi, watching the other at the side, silently clicked her tongue. 'How unsightly.'
In her eyes, Xiong Wuyue was no different from acting like an overexcited beast right now.
The box was tightly secured. Her nails were not enough to open it.
An attendant came forward and handed her the scissors.
Xiong Wuyue took it impatiently and hurriedly cut off the ribbon and the tapes on all sides.
She licked her lips as she excitedly lifted the lid of the box.
But she was stunned at the first thing she saw.
”...”
It was a bright color of gold.
The snakes, or disgusting things she was expecting despite all dangers, were nowhere to be seen.
The brilliant golden thread was so exquisite that Xiong Wuyue immediately knew what it was.
She had been obsessing over that dress ever since she had first laid her eyes on it. That was why she knew with one glance that it was genuinely that dress which she had always been wanting to get, but because of that bitch, she had lost her chance to do so.
If it was given to her by any other person, she would definitely feel excited seeing it as a gift.
But coming from the bitch she hated was an entirely different story.
This delicately woven golden dress with exquisite red rubies embroidered on the chest area was supposed to be a precious gift in other people's eyes. But to Xiong Wuyue, it was only insulting, as if her face was slapped directly by the bitch Xiong Zhi.
How she looked so appreciatively at the dress before, was just as how she looked disgustedly at it now that it had been owned by that woman.
