Chapter 229: Anger instead of gratitude?

It happened so fast that Jing Lihua could not think of a way to escape from this potentially deadly incident. Little fussy mewed in anger when unintentionally Jing Lihua held her too tightly. "Ah, sorry." She whispered before looking up and glaring at that delinquent that was probably going to have her killed by the hands of a certain 'Devil'.

It might have been alright if the situation was different. But Li Zhiqiang had tried relentlessly to get her to agree. He wanted to attend the party with her but she had refused him. Now that if he learned she had someone else escort her, what would that Devil do to her?

Jing Lihua shuddered thinking of the consequences.

After that, the intensity of her glare ascended to another realm of deadliness.

After announcing that he had come to attend the part at Jing Lihua escort, with a smug smile Zhou Liqin looked in her direction, eager to see her grateful expressions to save her even after she had decided to choose a cat over him.

However, instead, he was pierced by a blazing glare.

The intensity of which made him almost stumble back.

Wha-what's happening? He was the knight in shining armor! She was supposed to politely thank him and apologize for dishonoring him. Wh-Why the glare?

Zhou Liqin blinked in confusion. Why was he treated so unjustly?

"Mr. Zhou, what do you mean you have come here as J-JieJie's escort? I clearly remember that Brother Gu told me that Gu Peizhai had invited you." If there was anyone feeling worse for having his kindness being trampled under someone's feet than it was definitely Jing Tian for hearing Zhou Liqin had come here as Jing Lihua escort. Her face was the same color as Jing Lihua's eyes with envy.

"Ah, right." Zhou Liqin craned his neck to look away from the blazing glare. He quickly adjusted his expressions that the woman's bizarre behavior had thrown into a fairly queer shape. Coughing slightly to mellow down his tone, he smiled warmly. "Gu Peizhi had indeed extended an invitation towards me but I had declined because of my busy schedule. It was then my girlfriend requested me to attend her friend that I decided to attend the party. What I meant by my words, is that it was because of Miss Jing Tian elder sister that I managed to attend your party. Thus, I dare not make a claim. Your gratitude must be paid to your elder sister." The smile on Zhou Liqin's face was very warm like soft butter.

The woman fans at the party felt like melting. Soon, screams and shots followed in the venue. &

"Kyaaa! He is so handsome!"

"He is so nice and gentle. Just the way they claim him to be in the news. Truly, every girl's prince charming!"

"I am so lucky to have decided to attend the party. I get to see Zhou Liqin in person!"

The media knew Zhou Liqin had a girlfriend. But her identity was mysterious. His words cleared everyone's suspicion that Jing Lihua might be that mysterious girlfriend. On the other hand, fans started to make speculation on his girlfriend's identity after getting a new piece of information on her.

According to Zhou Liqin's words, she must be someone close to Jing Lihua, right?

While all that happened, Jing Tian still could not come with reality.

In the crowd of excited guests, there were also a few other people who could not come in terms with reality. They were, of course, Lang Lan and He Zhouyan. Since the two of them had vehemently disparaged Jing Lihua not a few minutes ago.

And now... an international star turned out to be her escort?

Not only that, but he had also been waiting for her for so long?

Lang Lan and He Zhouyan didn't know where to hide their heads. Thankfully, people were too excited at the advent of such a famous figure at the party that no one paid heed to them. But they knew that people might have forgotten for now but the humiliation was just around the corner. 

It was a matter fo them before the excitement from Zhou Liqin's appearance dissolved and people started recollecting the words they said against Jing Lihua. After joining that with the fact that Zhou Liqin waited for Jing Lihua, they would be mocked and laughed at.

Jing Tian was still trying her best to hide the ugly expressions from her face when a voice resounded. "Jing Tian, you should really thank your sister."

She tilted her head to find the criminal; she was surprised at finding Xiao Shen. 

"Just a moment ago you had been so happy. Zhou Liqin only attended because of your elder sister. I think you should properly thank her, don't you think?" Xiao Shen smiled. In her eyes, there was no longer the same harmonious rapport. But a cold glint of indifference. She was an enemy that Jing Tian had created on her own because of her vanity.

And she was not going to let Jing Tian off easily.

Jing Tian felt herself brimming with anger at being told off by that no-namer. However, she had no choice but to endure. She was

in the middle of everyone's focus. Now, if she said or did something inappropriate that would reflect badly on her. And since it was her engagement party and her in-laws were involved, she definitely could not afford to leave a bad impression.

Thus, she forced a smile upon her lips. "Miss Shen is right." Turning her head, she faced Jing Lihua. With a wave of restrained anger in her eyes, she forced a look of gratitude on her face. The resulting expression turned out to be so ugly that Jing Lihua wished that she would rather not face such expressions. "Since our Idol has attended the party because of Jiejie, you should be the one I must be thanking." With that said, Jing Tian bowed slightly to show her appreciation.
