Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 90 Wedding Anniversary Banquet Arc (5) : Prince Charming Xing Bi

My best chance is only right now, Xing Bi thought.

Right now, she was hiding behind some bushes at a distance from the Liu villa main entrance from where guests were coming in. But things were way too cumbersome.

The security was tight and as the banquet was about to begin, the flow of incoming guests was also minimizing. Xing Bi was confident that she would be able to slip in with the crowd's help, but her hopes were destroyed soon enough. There was a difference of heaven and earth between her and the guests' attire.

I would look like a sore thumb… Should I dress as a maid?

But to her disappointment, not even one maid came outside. Everybody was busy serving the guests inside.

Shit. What will I do now? I got to meet Chen Yunru at any cost tonight!

Then an idea struck her.

What if I feign some sickness and get inside on pretext of medical help? I am so brilliant! They won't leave a sick woman helpless! Hahaha!

She was about to step out of the bushes when two guards came to meet the ones guarding the main entrance. She hastily ducked back.

"Be alert of strangers, okay? There was one woman who pretended to faint and then entered the mansion. She fooled us!"

XIng Bi - "..." _{copied my brilliant idea!?}

The guards at the main entrance were naturally shocked and alerted. "Did you throw her out?"

"No. Old Master Liu said he will deal with her."

They solemnly nodded. "We will keep an even stricter eye now."

Damn! As if you weren't strict enough already! There goes my ticket! She cried. How am I supposed to meet Chen Yunru now?

Xing Bi noticed that the guards were sincerely busy talking among themselves, especially the two guards of the garden's side who told them about Ai's 'vicious' poking attack on Liu Hai. The other pair was too tuned into their story to momentarily leave their post.

She narrowed her eyes and crawled from in between the bushes noiselessly, seeing this as a chance to quietly slip in.

Brr. It's so cold!

Keep talking, keep talking…

Xing Bi soon reached the gate, and she heard the second pair of guards heavily sobbing.

"We are doomed. We let a stranger in who attacked Old Master Liu. Now we will definitely get fired!"

"We won't be spared!"

The first pair were doing their best in consoling them.

A gulp passed through her throat as she quickly took the intimidating turning point of the gate and disappeared into the bushes from within the mansion.

The guards turned at once.

"Did you hear that?"

"I thought I heard something rustling?"

"Maybe it was the wind?"

"Indeed, it's quite windy today."

Xing Bi let out a deep, silent breath. She looked around and sobbed. _?

I am actually inside the estate! Now it's just a trip to the mansion!

She sneakily hopped hiding behind the trees. As she craned her neck, she choked seeing a pair of maids welcoming the guests with a smile on their lips near the door.

She lowered her head and looked at her messy self. Leaves were stuck on her hair and sleeves, and the soil had stained her dress.

I cannot go inside like this.

She collapsed on her knees.

Come on…I have come this far, she sulked.

No, no! She slapped her cheeks. Don't give up! It's all for Ai's sake!

With a renewed determination, she started thinking of some trick to get inside.

Her sight fell on a group of young people at a distance standing and talking among themselves. They were giggling and laughing, and it seemed like they were making fun of someone.

The man's back faced her - the one who was being laughed at. From his body language, she felt his anger and displeasure from the taunts the group threw at him.

Not my problem…I have my fair share of troubles.

But she couldn't let that man out of her sight even if she tried. Seeing his back slump in cheerlessness made a familiar feeling strike her. The group was clearly bullying him. He was standing up for himself, but it wasn't working.

Xing Bi gritted her teeth and unable to bear it any longer, she furiously walked towards the group.

Grabbing the man's arm, she pulled him behind her and faced them.

"You should be ashamed of yourself for bullying someone like that! You think you are all so powerful ganging up on a lone man like that? Fucking pests! People like you disgust me! Before coming to such a classy party like this, tell your parents to teach you some class first!"

Flaring her nostrils, she turned on her heels and went away as she dragged the man with her.

The group watched her, dumbfounded with their jaws dropped.

"Huh? A woman with mud and leaves stuck all over suddenly pulled Bro Nian away?" Liang Meixiu questioned in shock. ????????????????????α????. ????o????

"She was so tall! Did you see that?" Liang Meirong's eyes sparkled.

"She even scolded us…What did we do?" Her little brother, Liang Bao, scratched his head.

Soo Yijun raised his brow curiously. "Interesting."

Soo Zhenya dreamily said, "She took him away like a knight in shining armor!"

Zhu Xiang touched his chin. "She seemed feisty just like sis and Mom."

Chen Yubi tugged onto her elder brother, Chen Zixin's coat. "Bro, did you understand what just happened? Who kidnapped Bro Nian?" She gasped.

He glanced down at her once and remained quiet. Instead, he let out just one question from his lips. "Yunru?"

Her mouth twitched.

You don't care what you saw just now at all!?

Chen Yunru came in huffing and puffing. "I…I am here…Sorry, I got late…"

Liang Meirong clicked her tongue. "You missed something fun! Somebody just took bro Nian away, and we couldn't do anything!"

Soo Zhenya was still in her dreamy state. "She was so cool. Did you see Nian's face?"

Chen Yunru winced with mental damage. "Ahhhh! How did I miss that? I want to meet her too! I wanted to see that!"

They gave him their condolences. "We feel sorry for you. But who knows if you will see her tonight?"
