Wang Qiang was the cousin of Wang Da from her father's side. She was raised like a princess; her family's coddling molded her into an arrogant and greedy girl. In simpler terms, she had a superiority complex. She was the leading number one lady from her social circles, graduated from Imperial's best high school as the valedictorian, not to mention, she interned alongside her cousin at Wang Corporations.
She had everything in life except…Wang Qiang saw the figure of a man from the corner of her eyes and blushed. The Peachwood summit was the best way to demonstrate she was the only one meant for him. Disgust filled her at the girls swarming her. 'Hmpf, they weren't as beautiful as her anyway! No one here is my match.'
A buzz could be heard outside and Wang Qiang frowned in displeasure. Could it be a celebrity? Her eyes narrowed with realization. The Yuan family. There were nothing but a bunch of brutes in her perspective. Was there a need for a big fuss? Everyone around her shifted and she could see the widening of their eyes with astonishment. Her eyes tracked their gazes and landed on a young woman in black. Wang Qiang froze. Even she had to admit that the woman was far more beautiful than anyone she had seen.
She gritted her teeth in anger and smirked. 'So, she was Yuan Xing? She's nothing much. She's just a flower vase! A mix-blooded slut who uses her looks to seduce everyone! I don't know what Wang Da saw in her.'
Wang Qiang waited until all the women were seated when she made her move. Her plan was simple. She wanted to show everyone that no girl can outshine her. She also wanted to humiliate the little whore so that she can learn her place! She wasn't allowed to look more beautiful than her!
She 'tripped', and her drink slipped from her grasp. Wang Qiang gasped in fake horror but squealed in anticipation inwardly. However, Yuan Xing agilely moved back, and the drink spilled on a chair. Wang Qiang wanted to scream. She rushed towards the girl and profusely apologized to her in concern.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to do that. Are you alright?"
Yuan Xing casually glanced at her and nodded. She patted her chest in relief. "Oh, that's good." Wang Qiang's hand breezed past Yuan Xing's drink, hoping to make it fall on her.
Yuan Xing "…"
Does this girl ever learn? Yuan Xing abruptly stood up and exclaimed, "Oh my god, there's a bug on you." Her sudden movement caused the drink to fall in the other direction, spilling all over Wang Qiang who let out a little ahh. The women around her also jumped in fear of any bugs.
Using a napkin, Yuan Xing quickly dabbed the stain in concern. "Apologies, there was a bug on your dress, and it startled me. Must have come from the flowers outside. Don't worry, I have a spare dress for occasions like these."
"Yuan Chang, would you mind getting me the dress, please? I'll be waiting near the bathroom." Yuan Xing didn't give the gaping Wang Qiang a chance to argue before dragging her to the bathroom.
Around midway, Wang Qiang ripped her hands from Yuan Xing's, her furious and embarrassed eyes taking in the snickers and laughter from other ladies.
She pointed her finger at Yuan Xing, "You, you…"
"Miss, if you come with me, I'd compensate you with a dress. I don't know why you're being so difficult. I wouldn't have to do any of this if you hadn't 'accidentally' tripped. Plus, everyone here is a witness. I won't rip you off." Yuan Xing said this righteously, she looked without malice.
"And…" she glanced around, "…you wouldn't want all these men to see you in a dirty dress, would you?"
Wang Qiang panicked at the thought. 'NO! I can't have him looking at me like this!' She rearranged her face into an arrogant one, "I will take your offer. Count yourself lucky that you got away with this much!"
Yuan Xing smirked and led her into the women's bathroom, where Yuan Chang was already waiting with a garment bag in hand. Wang Qiang huffed and peeked inside at the dress. Her eyes widened with shock. It was a cream off-shoulder Fine Ageha gown, lavishly embroidered at the corset. Fine Ageha! How exactly did she get one? Even the elite of the elite had to scramble to get one of their dresses.
She narrowed her eyes at the smiling Yuan Xing. Never mind. She wasn't losing out on wearing this dress! She quickly slipped it on, and although it wasn't her exact size, the dress still managed to look magnificent on her.
Yuan Xing left as soon as Wang Qiang came out. She had sent Yuan Chang to make sure everything was in place. 'Yang He thought she controlled everything within the palm of her hands. I'll force her to fully open her blind eyes and realize that she was nothing! She wanted a show? Fine! I'll give her a grand show to remember for life.'
