A gentle breeze blew by at the end of summer.

Tang Yaoyao was filled with anticipation.

She ushered in an important coming-of-age ceremony in her life.

this day,

The Tang Family Manor resembled a grand festival celebration.

Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, creating a lively and festive atmosphere.

Tang Yaoyao, who had not been able to return to the capital for a long time,

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

I spent more than a month in the countryside.

The scorching sun left faint marks on her skin.

It made her originally fair skin turn somewhat dark.

Tang Yaohua, accompanied by Liu Cuicui and Tang Xiaojun, stepped into the manor.

As soon as Liu Cuicui stepped through the exquisitely carved gate,

A hint of greed involuntarily flashed in his eyes.

She pondered to herself,

They are both of the Tang family bloodline.

Why is the eldest son's family able to enjoy such wealth and luxury in this opulent estate?

Meanwhile, his family could barely make ends meet in the countryside.

Such a stark contrast fueled her growing resentment, which grew wildly like weeds.

Su Wanqing's face was beaming with a warm smile.

They were led to the spacious and bright reception room with an elegant demeanor.

at this time,

Tang Xinxin is like a blooming light blue flower.

Wearing a gorgeous light blue trailing dress,

With light and graceful steps,

He slowly walked down the stairs.

Her delicate face was illuminated by the crystal chandelier.

Beautiful as a dream

Like an angel who has accidentally fallen to earth.

It radiates a breathtaking light.

Luo Yuting had a tall and straight posture.

A well-tailored suit made him look even more handsome and dashing.

He followed closely behind Tang Xinxin like a shadow.

The handsome man and beautiful woman instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

The guests gathered around.

He kept praising Tang Yaotian.

"Brother Tang, your daughter has grown into a stunning beauty. Look at her temperament and appearance, she's like a fairy descended from heaven! And your adopted son is also a handsome and talented man. You are truly blessed!"

Tang Yaotian listened to the crowd's praise,

A proud smile spread across his face.

He nodded repeatedly in thanks.

Tang Yaoyao stood to the side,

Looking at Tang Xinxin's dazzlingly beautiful appearance,

The jealousy in my heart burned like a raging fire.

Her eyes were bloodshot from the fever.

And what about Liu Cuicui?

Her thoughts had already drifted to Luo Yuting.

She secretly began to make her own plans.

If I could get my daughter to have a relationship with Luo Yuting...

That was a real boost to their reputation.

Even if it's just becoming the adopted daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family,

It's also quite good.

Tang Xinxin walked gracefully to Liu Cuicui and the others.

He slightly bent his knees and greeted them softly one by one.

Tang Yaoyao forced a smile.

He said insincerely:

"Sister, you look so beautiful today."

He was trying to use this to get closer to Tang Xinxin.

Tang Xinxin smiled and responded to Tang Yaoyao:

"Yaoyao, you look adorable today too."

The voice is gentle and pleasant.

Luo Yuting stood to the side,

His gaze remained fixed on Tang Xinxin.

His eyes were full of doting and admiration.

At this time,

The music started slowly.

It is a melodious waltz.

Luo Yuting took a step forward.

Slightly bend over,

He extended his hand to Tang Xinxin in a gentlemanly manner:

"Xin Xin, would you do me the honor of dancing with me?"

A blush rose to Tang Xinxin's cheeks.

Gently place your hand in Luo Yuting's palm:

"my pleasure."

They stepped into the center of the dance floor.

She began to dance gracefully.

Luo Yuting's dance steps were steady and elegant.

It guided Tang Xinxin like a butterfly fluttering in the air.

Tang Xinxin's light blue trailing dress billowed as she twirled.

Like a blooming flower.

Their eyes met.

It was as if everything around had disappeared.

The whole world is left with only each other.

After the dance, the entire audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Tang Xinxin leaned towards Luo Yuting somewhat shyly.

Luo Yuting then gently put his arm around her waist.

Give her a sense of security.

They had just returned to their seats,

Before he could even catch his breath after dancing,

Tang Yaoyao then appeared silently like a ghost.

Holding two glasses of low-alcohol fruit wine steadily in both hands,

A seemingly harmless yet ulterior motive was etched on his face.

She said softly, "Sister, Brother Yuting, you two danced so beautifully! This dance was the most dazzling sight at the banquet tonight. Come, have a drink to celebrate, and also wish you a happy birthday, sister. May you have many more birthdays to come, and may you always be this beautiful and charming."

Tang Xinxin was taken aback by this sudden "enthusiasm."

I instinctively reached out my hand.

Just as I was about to pick up the glass of wine that gleamed enticingly under the light.

Luo Yuting frowned slightly.

A thoughtful doubt flashed in his deep eyes.

He always felt that Tang Yaoyao's attentiveness seemed to hide some unknown scheming.

After all, during the dance segment just now,

He vaguely sensed a hint of resentment in Tang Yaoyao's gaze as she looked at Tang Xinxin.

At this moment, the atmosphere was as delicate as a taut string,

A crisp and energetic shout broke the deadlock.

Gu Qianqian rushed in in a flurry of activity.

Her lithe figure was like a dazzling whirlwind.

He ran straight towards Tang Xinxin.

"Heart, Heart!" Her voice arrived before she did.

This was immediately followed by a warm bear hug.

He picked Tang Xinxin up and spun her around.

Tang Xinxin was completely overwhelmed by this sudden surprise.

Once the hand is released,

The wine glass that was about to touch his lips was placed back on the table.

It made a soft "ding-dong" sound.

"I rushed as fast as I could, but I'm not too late, am I?"

After Gu Qianqian let go of Tang Xinxin,

She playfully stuck out her tongue and said.

Her fair face showed signs of fatigue from a long journey.

But his bright eyes still sparkled with excitement.

She is currently enjoying a trip to South America, experiencing its exotic charm.

I heard about Tang Xinxin's birthday party.

Without saying a word, he took a plane back overnight.

All I wanted was to send my sincerest blessings to my friends.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. Your presence is the best gift."

Tang Xinxin smiled brightly.

"Come on, look what good stuff I brought you."

Gu Qianqian's clear and resonant voice echoed in the banquet hall.

She seemed completely oblivious to the fact that Tang Yaoyao was standing awkwardly beside her.

Like a peacock whose feathers have been plucked, utterly bewildered.

Her heart and eyes were only for Tang Xinxin.

Excitement and eagerness sparkled in those bright, large eyes.

He grabbed Tang Xinxin's hand.

It was like a cheerful breeze.

She gracefully left the venue with Tang Xinxin.

Luo Yuting narrowed his eyes slightly.

A subtle, profound meaning flickered in his deep gaze.

Like a sharp sword,

It stabbed straight at Tang Yaoyao.

In that brief eye contact,

Tang Yaoyao felt like a clown whose soul had been seen through.

All pretense and conspiracy will be exposed.

Then, Luo Yuting took a long stride,

Without hesitation, he followed Gu Qianqian and Tang Xinxin in their direction.

Tang Yaoyao stood alone in the same spot.

Watching their departing figures,

His hands were clenched into fists.

The fingernails dug deeply into the palm.

She was completely unaware of the pain.

Beneath that exquisite makeup,

A face was contorted with rage.

His jaw was clenched, and his cheeks were bulging.

It was as if he wanted to grind his teeth to pieces.

"Tang Xinxin, don't be so smug for too long!"

She spat out the vicious curse through gritted teeth.

In a secluded corner of the banquet hall,

Liu Cuicui was like a cunning fox.

Silently lurking,

Their gazes were fixed on the scene where Tang Yaoyao carried the fruit wine toward Tang Xinxin and Luo Yuting.

A sinister and excited glint flashed in her eyes.

A barely perceptible, cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

He secretly plotted his wicked scheme.

These two seemingly ordinary glasses of fruit wine,

In reality, she had tampered with it.

Tang Xinxin's cup,

She secretly added a large amount of laxatives.

Just one sip,

Within moments, the abdominal pain would become unbearable.

He made a complete fool of himself in front of everyone.

As for Luo Yuting's cup...

She then mixed in a powerful aphrodisiac.

The dosage is enough to make a rational person lose self-control.

She fantasized about what would happen once the drug took effect.

The situation will descend into chaos.

At that time,

She then cleverly arranged for someone to send Tang Yaoyao into Luo Yuting's room.

As a result,

Tang Yaoyao and Luo Yuting would then be embroiled in a scandal.

They were forced to "lock down".

Tang Yaoyao will then be able to be with Luo Yuting legitimately.

She can then reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

However, man proposes, God disposes.

Gu Qianqian's sudden appearance was like a reckless bird taking flight.

It disrupted her carefully laid out chess game.

Tang Xinxin put down her wine glass.

They left together with Gu Qianqian.

Luo Yuting also went there.

Tang Yaoyao was left alone, gritting her teeth.

Liu Cuicui watched all this, her fists clenched.

My heart is filled with regret and resentment.

The muscles in his face twitched slightly.

His previously smug expression was instantly shrouded in gloom.

"Damn it, we were so close to succeeding!"

She muttered bitterly to herself.

But she did not give up.

We must find another opportunity.

We will not give up until we achieve our goal.
