Chapter 234 - The Engagement 05

After everyone arrived, it was time for the bride to be to enter the hall.

The announcer announced the entry of the bride to be.

Everyone was inticipating to see the bride. Reporters were holding their cameras upright to click the perfect photo for their article.

"Here comes the bride to be, Ms. Mai Yuerui." The announcer called out her name.

Kong Xianwang was eagerly waiting at the door to have the first look of his bride. Even though he has already imagined her in that dress millions of times but his heart was still fluttering to see her in that dress for real.

The guests clapped together to welcome the bride.

But....

Their noise instantly faded away.

Kong Xianwang's heart sank when he saw Zhang Eliza coming from the entrance instead of his bride. His face turned dark.

Zhang Eliza entered in a bright red coloured off shoulder gown. The dress had all over sequence work in it with a slit below to reveal her pale white leg. Her lips were tinted in bright red color. She wore a bright chain earing which reached her slender neck. Her color of choice made her stand out in front of everyone.

She waved her hands to the people as if she was the one everybody was waiting for.

After she was finished with her greeting she walked straight towards her target, Kong Xianwang.

"Brother Wang, sorry to keep you waiting." She said coquettishly.

Kong Xianwang clenched his fist out of anger. He doesn't want to spoil his mood because of her and ruin his engagement.

He pressed his lips tightly and uttered his words to her with patience, "You can carry on."

"What are you saying? Aren't you gonna escort me inside?" She asked with pitiful eyes.

'Is she out of her mind!' Kong Xianwang is aware of her behavior but he didn't expect her to carry on her bizarre attitude today as well.

And if he didn't have enough, Zhang Eliza raised her hand to reach out to his arms.

But before she could reach his arms someone called her out loudly from behind.

"Sister Eliza!"

Mai Yuerui was waiting outside the hall to wait for her call. She tried to peep inside to see how is the condition of the crowd. She has to greet every guest here as the bride to be. Everyone will be looking at her. Not to mention there are reporters as well. That mean her pictures will be taken and oh my God the interviews!!!

Only by the thought of it made her feel numb at her feet.

If her panic disorder was not enough, her mother's attitude was making her condition worse.

She was checking her daughter's get up, giving her advice on how to walk towards the groom, telling her millions of times that everyone will be watching at her and most importantly she has to make her father proud.

While Meng Xihuan was giving her daughter advices after advices, the announcer already called out for Mai Yuerui.

"Mom! They already called for me!" She shouted to stop her mother.

"Huh! Then what are you waiting for? Go inside!" She whispered.

But before Mai Yuerui could enter the hall, Zhang Eliza beat her and entered from the other side of the entrance.

Mai Yuerui was puzzled.

'What the hell!' she wondered.

She stopped on her motion and peeped inside to see what Zhang Eliza was up to.

"What are you doing? Go inside!" Her mother whispered.

"Wait a minute, Mother." She whispered back.

She knew that Zhang Eliza won't sit idle. So Mai Yuerui decided to be calm and figure out what Zhang Eliza intends to do.

She stood their in her spot and saw Eliza approaching her husband.

She wanted to see how her husband would react. And as up to her expectations, Kong Xianwang didn't let her down. He didn't even bother to talk properly with Eliza.

It's time for her to show up.

"Sister Eliza!" Mai Yuerui didn't know what to do. So without thinking anything she just decided to call her out.

After calling her out very loud Mai Yuerui gracefully entered the hall.

The crowd was already fixing their eyes on Kong Xianwang and Zhang Eliza. Most of the people present know the fact that Zhang Eliza has a liking towards Kong Xianwang. So they were like prepared with popcorn to see some drama. But when someone called her out loud, their attention went straight towards the voice.

And then they saw the beautiful bride to be, Mai Yuerui.

She held the hem of her dress with both her hands and delicately took every single step as she came into light. Because of the long train and puffy raffle skirt she had to take every step carefully. Her mother gave her a hand so that she doesn't trip on her leg.

Seeing her into the light Kong Xianwang was stuck in his spot. She was looking much more prettier than his imagination. He completely ignored Zhang Eliza and went towards her to give her his hand.

When Mai Yuerui took her husband's hand she stopped on her motion and looked at Zhang Eliza.

"Sister Eliza, you were so excited that you forgot me behind?" She said with a playful smile.

Mai Yuerui turned towards the reporters and explained calmly, "Sister Eliza is my bridesmaid for today. But she was so excited for us that she entered the hall before I could catch up to her." Mai Yuerui faked a graceful smile and looked at Zhang Eliza.

Kong Xianwang held both her hands and patted gently at them. He leaned towards her and asked in low voice, " Sister Eliza? Bridesmaid?"

Mai Yuerui maintained her smile and looked back at her husband then she replied while greeting her teeth, "If you don't wanna ruin this engagement then shut your mouth."

Hearing the threat from his bride Kong Xianwang laughed out loud.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang organized our engagement in his hotel. So Ms. Eliza asked to be the bridesmaid. Of course we are really happy to have her presence in our happiness." He said while looking at Eliza.

While both Kong Xianwang and Mai Yuerui worked together to fix the situation, Zhang Eliza was fuming with rage.

She was about to burst her anger when Kong Xianwang interrupted.

"Thank you, Ms. Zhang. I will take my wife from here." Saying so he nodded to her and entered the hall with his bride.

--------

Mai Yuerui's friends were in the crowd waiting for her to come. That's when they saw the commotion created by Zhang Eliza.

As soon as Eliza entered in her red dress, Su looked at her own dress and smiled inwardly.

'If my dress is less appropriate then hers is definitely inappropriate. Yes! I found one worse than me.'

While she was smiling on her own Si ying was looking at her with amus.e.m.e.nt.

'What's cooking in her brain today? She is acting weird.' he wondered.

"Su, are you having some funny thoughts?" He asked her curiously.

"Huh!" Su came out of her daze.

"Nothing." She replied with a bright smile.

She was happy that Si ying accompanied her till now.

"Si ying..." She was about to tell him something but her happiness didn't last long.

Kong Xingtian came out of nowhere and grabbed him by his arms.

"Bother Si ying, there is an emergency. You know that client of ours, Mr. Song who always has a tetchy temper? He is creating trouble again. You have to handle him." Saying so she grabbed his arms and pulled to take him away.

But before she could take him away Su held him by his other hand.

"What happened?" She asked.

"There is an emergency. I will be back quickly." Saying so Si ying gently removed her hands from his hand and left with Kong Xingtian.

Su kept looking at his disappearing back holding her tears tight.

"You told me you won't leave me tonight!" She murmured to herself.

"You Mr. Perfect left you alone!" Suddenly her friend's annoying voice dragged her attention.

She followed the voice and saw Kai looking at her with a mischievous smile.

"What Mr. Perfect? He is nothing to me!" She didn't know if she was telling it to him or was consoling herself.

"If you say so." Saying so Kai offered her a plate of appetizer.

"The party didn't even started and you already started devouring free food!" She was shocked to see her friends behavior.

When she didn't take his offer, he brought back his plate and put a piece of snack in his mouth.

"You are having your life, right? No tension, only food." She was being jealous of her friends carefree life.

"Who said I don't have any problems? I too have problems. And I want to solve those problems of mine." He said with agitation and then added slowly, "And hers."
