At the banquet hall of Park Hyatt Hotel.
Today marks the engagement banquet of the Lu family's eldest son, Lu Shihan, and the Fu family's daughter, a gathering of the renowned at the banquet hall.
Fu Xi, in a solemn off-the-shoulder white dress, wore a sweet smile, mingling among the guests hand in hand with her fiancé, receiving blessings from all.
The engagement banquet quickly moved to its climax. Lu's father took the stage to deliver a few words, then Lu Shihan and Fu Xi ascended to the stage together.
The host, smiling, announced, "It is Mr. Lu's engagement banquet today. I am honored to witness his and Miss Fu's love story along with everyone. Would the waiter please bring the ring."
The waiter promptly handed over the ring.
As Fu Xi watched the man remove the brilliant ring, she became even more excited. Her hand was already extended in anticipation and anxiety.
After waiting so long, she was finally about to become a real Mrs. Lu!
"Well, it really is lively here!" Just as the ring was about to be placed on Fu Xi's finger, a woman's voice resonated from the door. Her voice, soft and gentle, but it quickly gripped the attention of the hall.
Everyone saw a young woman in a red dress walk into the venue, her strides graceful. Her exquisitely flawless face carried a faint smirk, her gaze directly onto the two on stage.
Seeing the woman, everyone drew in a sharp breath.
It was Ye Weixin!
Wasn't Ye Weixin divorced from Lu Shihan? Why has she suddenly appeared at her ex-husband's engagement party?
With her arms crossed, Ye Weixin stood there, looking at the stern man on the stage.
The man she had loved crazily for three years, gave her all to him, yet he wounded her beyond repair, marrying her best friend Fu Xi. Now upon meeting again, her heart ached uncontrollably.
Swallowing the pain in her heart, Ye Weixin put on a smile and greeted, "President Lu, long time no see."
"Ye. Wei. Xin." Lu Shihan furrowed his brows as he looked at Ye Weixin. She had matured a lot in the past five years, but it also reminded him of those unhappy memories. "What are you doing here?"
"Two people getting engaged, of course, I came to present a grand gift."
Ye Weixin pulled out a bulging red envelop from her clutch. Just when everyone was still stunned, she took out a stack of banknotes from the envelope, and with a flick of her hand, the paper money floated around like snowflakes.
Someone reached out to catch one and found something wrong, the person's face changed, "It, It's hell money!
"Ye Weixin!" Lu Shihan's gaze swept over the hell money scattered around him, his face grim as he stared at the woman in front of him. "What on earth are you trying to do?"
"Congrats on your engagement with Fu Qian!" Ye Weixin ascended onto the stage, holding her dress. Standing in her heels, she could meet Lu Shihan's gaze, smiling, "And also to celebrate my child's fifth birthday."
Everyone's faces grew somewhat dark and unclear.
Those who had some relationships with the Lu family all knew that Ye Weixin, the original wife, and Fu Qian were pregnant at the same time. However, Ye Weixin was not so lucky, the child was strangled by the umbilical cord, and was born lifeless.
It seemed Ye Weixin's bringing of the hell money was well prepared to disrupt this engagement party.
"Weixin, it was your child's fate that he was not meant to come into this world." Fu Qian approached her. Today was her engagement ceremony with Lu Shihan, and Ye Weixin was throwing around hell money, it was a direct slap to her face.
Fu Qian said, "It had nothing to do with Shihan. Plus, when you conned donations and caused the death of mother Lu, Shihan chose to forgive you and let you go with divorce. Why are you back to ruin our engagement party?"
Ye Weixin coldly cut off her words, "I've told you, mother Lu's death was not my fault!"
Even when she first married into the Lu family, mother Lu did not treat her very well. After mother Lu's health condition worsened, Ye Weixin learned that her kidney was a match for mother Lu's. Without a second thought, she decided to donate her kidney.
But a few days later, mother Lu died. The doctor said that they had missed the best treatment opportunity. Ye Weixin swore she had donated her kidney, but when she got herself checked again, her kidney was still intact. She was in utter shock.
Even though she had tried to explain to Lu Shihan, she was ruthlessly kicked out of the Lu family. Moreover, she found out her close friend Fu Qian had been with Lu Shihan all along and had a child. She was on the verge of breaking down.
She had given her sincere love, but all she got in return was such treatment.
Thinking about the past, a hint of resentment flashed in Ye Weixin's eyes. She said resentfully, "Lu Shihan, this time I'm back, I will find out who killed mother Lu and have you and the entire Lu family apologize to me!"
