Chapter 48 Press conference
“There’s nothing to talk about between us.” Mia turned her head sideways in deliberate avoidance, she had left Jun’s family and had nothing to do with anyone in Jun’s family anymore.
Wang Yuxin stretched out her arm and stopped Lina who intended to walk to Mia’s side, her sharp eyes fixed on her face, “Sorry, since Mia doesn’t want to see you, please leave.”
Seeing Wang Yuxin stop her arm, Riina gritted her teeth in dissatisfaction and introduced herself bluntly, “My name is Riina, I’m Asher’s fiancée. You’re her best friend, so do you know what your best friend has done?”
Wang Yuxin showed a sudden realization, “So you are that man’s fiancée, you can’t even control your own man, yet you come to find trouble with Mia, I think you are sick!”
Since this woman was here to declare war today, there was no need for her to be polite with her.
Lina twisted her head not to look at Wang Yuxin, but with sharp eyes still looking Mia up and down, half a long time, a light hum, slowly opened her mouth and continued, “Asher has played with countless women, I really feel pathetic for you, you are the woman who ranks the first?”
She deliberately aggravated her tone, her eyes full of disdain for Mia.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Mia was silent, Riina was right, she was just one of Asher’s women, who was she to call Riina’s bluff? Wang Yuxin saw that Lina was talking too much, she was about to speak up, but she saw Mia slowly shook her head towards her, she had to hate it and stop.
“I hope you know how to back off, you better stay away from him in the future, I’m about to get engaged to him and you’re still pestering him, don’t you feel embarrassed?” Seeing Mia’s silence, Lina was even more emboldened, looking at Mia condescendingly, her words were full of warning and disdain.
Growing up, if she wanted something, there was nothing she couldn’t get.
Mia’s body shook slightly and she narrowed her eyes, a miserable smile on her face, a throbbing pain coming from deep inside her, but she forced a look of indifference, “Congratulations.”
After those words were said, she felt nothing but pain in her heart, wanting to rush to find a place to hide and lick her wounds alone.
Mia’s cold attitude pissed off Leena and she dodged around to block Mia’s body, “What are you laughing at? Are, are you laughing at me?”
She was Lina, and even if she won, she was going to win across the board, going to crush Mia so completely that no piece of her would be left behind.
Just as Li Na’s hand was about to touch Mia, Wang Yuxin side-stepped in front of Mia’s body and sneered at Li Na, “What else can you laugh at? Of course I’m laughing at you! I hope you can really tie him up so that he doesn’t come out to wreak havoc on other women after the wedding.”
Wang Yuxin’s taunts, of course, Ri Na was harboring a fire, but hardened her anger, a pair of angry eyes deadly stared at Mia’s bland face, “I didn’t come here today to argue with you.”
This wasn’t even a quarrel? Wang Yuxin shielded herself in front of Mia, raising her eyebrows in amusement and looking warily at the woman who had put her in an unpleasant mood from the moment she appeared.
Lena pulled an invitation card out of her bag and placed it on the bar, “Asher and I will be holding a press conference for our engagement the day after tomorrow, and you will be invited to appear then.”
She was going to see this woman fall into the depths of misery with her own eyes.
Mia’s eyes glanced coldly at the card on the bar and her indifferent eyes looked to tonight’s uninvited guest, “You can go now.”
Mia’s impassive look made Lina’s heart darken and stare coldly at Mia, “Well, it seems I I overestimated you, you don’t have the guts to go at all!”
After saying that, Riina left with the winning stance of the winner, high and proud.
When Lina left, Wang Yuxin pulled Mia two people sitting at the bar, with different faces looking at the thin piece of paper placed on it, looking at Mia with an uneasy expression, “Mia , what are you going to do?”
After a long interval, Mia reached out her fingers and unfolded the card on the bar, the intimate double photo in the center stung her eyes deeply, she was silent for a long time before finally raising her cold eyes to look at her best friend, “Go.”
Raising her hand, she slammed a glass of spirits from the bar down her throat, the spicy taste harshly stimulating her mouth and even more so her already fraught heart.
The two sat there for a long time before Mia finally planned to go back. She had to hurry back to her little home and be alone to digest the news that Asher was about to get engaged.
Mia’s petite body slowly walked out of the bar and stood on the empty street, the strong night wind blowing through her hair, uncontrollable tears finally slipping from the corners of her eyes.
The tears, weren’t they dried up long ago? Why are there still any?
Didn’t she care long ago? Why does her heart still hurt so much?
How many nights over the past few months had she forced herself to order herself not to think of him!
But why did hearing the news that he was getting engaged immediately and easily tear at her heart? Why was she so indefatigable?
Two days later.
Mia and Wang Yuxin were once again standing in the same place where they were two days ago, looking up at the high-rise building which was immersed in a joyful atmosphere at this time, gazing at the whole row and row of flower baskets at the entrance, and the environment specially prepared for the engagement, with mixed feelings in their hearts.
Mia took a deep breath, summoned her greatest courage, and walked into the venue with Wang Yuxin along with the crowd.
As soon as they entered the venue, they saw a black mass of people, and Mia was standing on the periphery of the crowd, full of reporters from the city’s large and small media. The world’s most wanted man was actually getting engaged, and this was definitely a sensational headline in the city!
Mia and Wang Yuxin found an inconspicuous corner and sat down quietly.
“Mia , are you really okay?” Looking at Mia’s fading face, Wang Yuxin’s heart was very worried.
“Xin Xin, I know you’re doing it for my own good, but if I don’t see him engaged with my own eyes, I’ll never die.” Shaking her head lightly, Mia’s face was filled with a bitter smile.
But is it really possible to die that way?
Wang Yuxin looked at the heads gathered around her, her heart full of injustice, “Mia , in my opinion, you might as well take advantage of the presence of so many reporters to shake out all the things about Asher, I’ll see where his face will still be!”
“This young lady, the old man asks you to come over to his side for a moment.” Before Mia could say anything, she saw a bodyguard dressed in black walk up to her and said courteously.
Mia followed the bouncer’s line of sight, but saw that in another place, Grandpa Jun was looking at her coldly with a chilling gaze. Mia twisted her head and nodded at the bouncer, “Okay, I’ll be right over.”
“Mia , are you okay to go over alone …” She was just about to get up when Wang Yuxin, who was on the side, pulled her arm uneasily, her eyes full of worry.
Mia smiled reassuringly at her, “I’ll be fine, just wait for me.”
Without waiting for Wang Yuxin’s indication, Mia followed the black bodyguard towards Grandpa Jun’s direction. Walking up to Grandpa Jun, Mia politely greeted Grandpa Jun and the Jun Haotian couple on the side.
“What are you doing here?” Grandpa Jun didn’t appreciate it and looked warily at a smiling Mia. “Could it be, that you saw Asher and Kona engaged and you’re actually still not dead?”
Mia’s body stiffened, but tried to make her voice sound calm and unruffled, “Old master, it was your future grandson-in-law who invited me here, and she even went and delivered the invitation card herself in order to get me to come over. It seems that the old master doesn’t seem to have the measure of Miss Li.”
Grandpa Jun choked on his face, leaning on his cane and staring intently at Mia in front of him with a grim face, not uttering a word for half a day.
Lily, who was following him, immediately eased the atmosphere, a loving glint in her eyes immediately, “Miss Luo, how have you been?”
She has felt very guilty about Mia since she left.
Mia looked at Lily’s gentle smile and nodded with a smile, “Auntie, I’m fine, don’t worry.”
So what if it’s good or bad?
Grandpa Jun finally slowed down, the cane in his hand hitting the floor hard, “How did you promise me in the first place, how dare you show up here, are you trying to go back on your word?”
Thinking of the little life in her belly, Mia lifted her slightly pale face and looked determinedly straight into Grandpa Jun’s regal gaze, “Master, I think this is a question you should ask your grandson-in-law-to-be, shouldn’t you?”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Grandpa Jun looked at Mia with an added hint of disgust, “Hmph, I won’t take your word for it, a woman like you will do anything!”
Mia’s face instantly paled, but met Grandpa Jun’s cold eyes without flinching, “Master, believe it or not, I didn’t come here today to try to disrupt the press conference, just …”
Before Mia could finish her words, she was met with Grandpa’s cold voice, “Security, get rid of this woman immediately.”
This woman couldn’t stay here, it was chaos with her around, and he hadn’t forgotten the woman’s power to ruin a party on her first appearance.
“Dad!” Lily looked anxiously at Grandpa Jun from the sidelines, “It’s not good, is it? There are so many people present today, Miss Luo she …”
Jun Haotian also helped out, “Dad, she or really just came over to look around, there’s really no malice …”
Grandpa Jun glared at them fiercely, and the Jun Haotian couple immediately shut their mouths and sighed softly. Grandpa Jun was stubborn and said no, and simply did not allow others to contradict him.
Mia looked at the couple gratefully and whispered, “Thank you, I …”
