Yun Meiyi wasn't guarded when that leg popped out of nowhere. So, she wasn't able to prevent herself from getting the fall. Since the pain coming next was inevitable, from before itself, Yun Meiyi has braced herself for it.
The next moment with a thud she fell on the floor. Looking at her falling like that Su Yang was first to react. His expression changed as he took a step forward to reach her. But the next moment, his legs also stopped on their own when he remembered what the woman has done to him and his family. They were mocked in society.
And he has also heard what Yun Meiyi has said earlier about him. In the beginning, he didn't care but when she added the latter part of finding another man, he couldn't help but felt an indescribable pang in his heart.
Nope, with all that he and his family suffered, there was no longer any feeling and sympathy left in his heart for her. Pausing his steps, he stood there looking at Yun Meiyi with his hands tucked in his pockets.
When Yun Jiaqi saw this, she was inexplicably happy. This was the exact thing she wanted. A complete indifference of Su Yang towards Meiyi, and finally it had happened. Her efforts of nurturing their differences didn't go to waste.
With a smile full of satisfaction, she turned to look at Yun Meiyi and said, "Sister YiYi, I never thought that after falling from grace, it would become all easy for you to fall on the floor in front of so many people." She spoke as a mocking smile covered her lips with hints of hostility in her eyes. "Anyway, you are still my sister, tell me, did you get hurt brutally? Or are you fine?"
Yun Meiyi didn't say a word, instead just stared at her before turning to look at the person whose leg had tripped her. It was none other than Zheng Shu Ting, a good friend of Yun Jiaqi. With her involved in it, it was not hard to tell that all that happened was nothing out of coincidence but very much intentional. The leg didn't pop out of anywhere rather it popped out to make her fall and get embarrassed.
How childish! Yun Meiyi thought to herself shaking her head. She thought about getting up, but the moment she tried, a sharp pain made her groan and fall back on the floor. Her brows tugged in a frown as it didn't take long for her to realize that her ankle was badly sprained, to an extent where she could no longer move on her own.
Could it be any worse than this? Now, what could she do? Was there anyone who would help her?
As she thought it like that her eyes scanned through the people. Although they had all witnessed what had happened to her, none came forward to help her. Decency has long left society. Now, there were just its ashes floating in the air. Just a glance and Yun Meiyi knew that no one would help her.
So, depending on her own, she tried once more to get up. But that was just another futile attempt that brought nothing but another prickling pain to her sprained muscles. "Argh!" she whimpered, closing her eyes in pain as once again the cold air from around her made her shiver.
At this moment, Yun Jiaqi came to gloat. This was her opportunity to make Yun Meiyi more embarrassed. So, taking a haughty step forward, she said, "Sister YiYi, don't get me wrong, but I just want to test how reliable your words are. Just moments ago, you said that you can get a man as long as you want. So, now that you are already stuck in a situation like this, why don't you give it a try? Let me see which type of man here would be ready to support you?"
She said and Yun Meiyi's eyes turned sharp to glare at the girl. Did she really think that she would not retaliate because she had been silent all this while? Wasn't she overestimating herself while underestimating her? Her fingers clenched into a fist as she was ready to retort but right at that moment, Zheng Shu Ting said from behind.
"What are you saying Jiaqi, which dumbhead man would think of being interested in this dead meat. Her body must be hollowed inside from the unknown disease she got communicated with. There is no way any man would waste his age and handsomeness on her. See, can you see anyone stepping out to help her? This states it all."
Yun Jiaqi's lips curled up in a smirk. Although she didn't say anything in support of Zheng Shu Ting's words, the expression she held on her face did the job.
"What is this, Sister YiYi? I didn't expect you to be so unreliable with your words. Come on, show us, which man were you talking about all this while. I almost felt jealous. If I wouldn't have Brother Su, believe me hearing you praise his kind, I would have started plotting ways to covet him already." She said as she laughed softly.
Yun Meiyi looked at her and couldn't help but spat out, "Other than plotting and snatching away what else have you learned, Jiaqi. Nothing specific. So, I don't blame you for finding opportunities to plot always. After all what else could you do other than it? Another thing, if the man could get so easily coveted, it's a very signal for the woman to look for someone else because cheating bast*rd couldn't be worth one's time." She said and her words came sharply.
Although it didn't mention anyone's name, just with her content and gaze, it was clear to which specific person it was directed.
Su Yang's fists clenched when he heard her. But there was nothing he could do other than swallow his anger. After all, his name was not mentioned in her words. He had no reason to blame. If he did, it would mean only one thing that he was accepting that he was a cheating bast*rd.
Yun Jiaqi looked at Su Yang and felt an urge to avenge him. So, shutting Yun Meiyi up, she said, "Enough of your irrelevant words. Come on, show us which best man you have got. If you have got none, accept the defeat and leave without showing your face."
As she said, the next moment the wind changed. Suddenly the intensity of the air increased, almost making people shiver. It felt like the storm was near. Although everyone was inside the banquet hall and there was no threat to anyone's life, it still confused people.
How did the weather change all of a sudden? Wasn't it just the start of autumn? Why was such a storm there at the very beginning?
Before people could understand anything, the lights went off. People panicked but right when the situation could get out of hand, the manager appeared to calm the people down. "Ladies and gentlemen! Sorry for the inconvenience. Due to the sudden change in the weather, the power has gone off. Please give us some time, we will fix it. Until then, please stay where you are at the moment."
And on the manager's say like that, people finally relaxed. At that time a few waiters came with candles and temporarily lit the room. Yun Meiyi was still on the floor. When Yun Jiaqi saw her like that, she sneered and asked again, "Sister YiYi, what happened? Is there no one for you?"
Just when she said, a voice from the entrance of the hall made its existence known. "Even when the world would have no one, she would have me."
