Revenge Sevenfold

Under the watchful stare of Wang Yong, and the man who was picking up the last glass of red wine on the waiter's tray, Hui Yin approached Nian Zhen.

Dandan, who was behind Hui Yin, pretended to be absorbed on picking a piece of dessert from the buffet table.

Dandan was the youngest daughter of a family that stood on the lowest rung of Beijing's upper class, which was why she was glad that she became friends with the affluent Nian Zhen. As of now, only Hui Yin and Nian Zhen knew of the friendship that existed between the two of them.

If not for the memories of her previous life, Hui Yin would have also remained ignorant about this piece of information.

"Miss Nian. You wanted to speak to me?"

The two girls faced each other, one in white, the other dressed in a red so dark that it was almost black. Although they were both beautiful in their own right, any pretty female standing next to Hui Yin tonight would simply lose their luster.

Hui Yin's bright gaze, her smile, and the confidence that seemed to radiate out of her like a halo made anyone around her feel entranced.

Nian Zhen was still seething about what happened with Lu Shen, but she didn't blame him. Or rather, she couldn't blame him. So her anger found another outlet, and it was this girl standing in front of her—this girl that she believed had completely bewitched him.

Brother Shen hadn't been angry with her before, so this must be that slut's fault!

Everything was completely ruined because of her!

Nian Zhen smiled.

"Yinyin, how's the party? Did you like it?"

Hui Yin matched her smile with an even more dazzling one.

"Mmm. It was pretty great..."

Wang Yong, who was surreptitiously watching them, suddenly noticed that something was wrong. He realized that the socialite behind Hui Yin had moved her hand, covertly using the darkness shrouding the entire buffet table to shove Hui Yin.

Feeling uneasy, he instinctively yelled, "Watch out!"

Lu Shen, who had also seen this, spilled half the glass of red wine that he was holding onto his black suit. He drew in a breath of cold air, the heart inside his chest violently jerking in alarm.

But Hui Yin had expected all of this.

She had been waiting for that hard push, and when it came, she pretended to lose her balance. She avoided the table cloth that pooled like a Cinderella skirt on the floor—she had experienced what would happen if her heel caught the edge of that—and grabbed onto Nian Zhen's arm for support.

However, that momentary slip made her lose her hold on her glass of grape juice, and it splattered all over Nian Zhen's face and on her pristine white dress.

"AHHHH!" Nian Zhen screamed in horror.

Hui Yin sneered in her heart as she observed the panicked Nian Zhen try to rub off the stain from her dress.

In her previous life, what this girl had done was even worse. Using the discreet location of the buffet table as a cover, Nian Zhen had instructed Dandan—a girl that no one would be able to connect to her even if the girl got discovered—to push Hui Yin. This prompted Hui Yin to stumble, and snag her heel on the table cloth.

This caused a chain reaction that no one could stop, as a constellation of trays, plates, dishes, utensils and cups came crashing down from the air, and paint a mural of food on the floor that even her lifetime's worth of salary would not be able to pay.

It was the most humiliating night in Hui Yin's life. This was also why Nian Zhen was so eager for her to be introduced as Lu Shen's fiancée, so that she could create such a shameful faux pas unbefitting of her title.

Now, as Nian Zhen cowered from the scornful eyes that had focused on her, Hui Yin put on a shocked expression as she laid down her now empty glass on the table.

"Miss Nian! Are you alright?"

The concern in her voice, the tears welling up in her eyes...Hui Yin felt that if Director Sun should appear before her now, he would have certainly applauded her award-winning performance.

Nian Zhen flinched, and her eyes burned with hatred as she looked at Hui Yin. Her composure had completely cracked, and her deranged appearance made her seem like a crazy woman.

But Hui Yin's sympathizing expression never wavered. Her emotions were calm like the still breeze, her eyes cold.

You fake white lotus, did you think that you can compete with an actress?

"YOU!"

Wang Yong angrily yanked on Dandan's arm, feeling pained as he watched the girl he loved bear such humiliation. Since he had seen her push Hui Yin, Wang Yong targeted Dandan as the culprit.

"You! Why did you do that?!"

Dandan, frightened because their plan had gone awry, darted a helpless glance at Nian Zhen.
