"After leaving here, I will go talk with her. Knowing how overprotective your friends are of her, all their attention will be on me, so you will use that moment of distraction to drug a glass of wine. You will pretend as though you want to comfort and give her the glass of wine after I finish talking to her," Zhao Liying said, smiling elatedly.

"Since you are the one who gives her the wine, she will gulp it down her throat without feeling suspicious. That is a flawless plan, right?" Zhao Liying said, her smile becoming broader.

​​

"How could you bear to smile?" Shiyi spoke up after a long silence.

"Shiyi, after today's plan is successful, I am sure you know that everything can never be settled through being kindhearted. Sometimes we need to be vicious, its doesn't matter whether others call us villains as long as we achieve our aims," Zhao Liying said, encouragingly tapping his shoulders.

"Are you not scared that you might end up losing what you are desperately fighting for if you keep on being the villain? Being kindhearted doesn't mean that I am weak, things cannot always be achieved by using force, you know that, right?" Shiyi asked, staring at Zhao Liying.

"Shiyi, it is pointless to think too much about our plans. All you have to do is to drug her wine and you will not only have her to yourself tonight but forever. I will go talk to her now. Don't forget to follow all my instructions," Zhao Liying said, tapping his chest before she walked towards where Yang Zi was greeting some of Yifeng's close business associates.

Seeing that Yifeng was still with Yang Zi, she quickly found a businessman and stripke a conversation with him. As she talked to the man, she often stole secret glances at Yifeng and Yang Zi.

"Thank goodness, my senior in college could take Feng's attention from Yang Zi just like I had requested. This is my opportunity to talk to her," Zhao Liying said, as she instantly approached Yang Zi. Before she reached where Yang Zi was standing, Pei Yan joined her.

"Hello, pretty lady," Zhao Liying greeted suddenly emerging from the crowd. Yang Zi quickly turned around to the direction the voice came from. Her smiles instantly disappeared when she got a glimpse of the owner of the voice.

"Hi, Zhao Liying, I am glad you came," Yang Zi said nonchalantly.

"How could I not come when Feng personally gave me the invitation and insisted I must be present here?" Zhao Liying said beaming, just to piss Yang Zi off.

"Really? I am glad he did because I was worried you wouldn't find the courage to come," Yang Zi said, returning her smiles.

"Why wouldn't I find the courage to come to my fiance's birthday party?" Zhao Liying asked, pissed that Yang Zi was trying to belittle her.

"Hey, Pei Yan, I see you are here as well. Since the both of you are present, I bet Bai Zihua must....,"

"Speak of the devil," Yang Zi remarked when she saw Bai Zihua approaching them.

"Guys, since the three of you decided to shamelessly come here after all you've done, make yourself comfortable. Enjoy yourself to the fullest because I won't make life difficult for you here," Yang Zi said, smiling at them.

"Why are you talking as though this is your party? You are just a guest like all of us here, so stop acting so pompous," Bai Zihua replied harshly before Zhao Liying could speak.

"Are you acting this way because he kissed you earlier in front of everyone?" Zhao Liying asked.

"Do you think that he loves you just because he kissed you in front of everyone?" Zhao Liying snorted.

"Hell no! He doesn't love you one bit, he is just using you. This same act he just pulled in front of everyone, he has done that with so many beautiful ladies in the past and where are those ladies now? He dumped them brutally and I am certain that he will do the same to you as well," Zhao Liying said, grinning wickedly.

"Zhao Liying, do you know the difference between me and those ladies you have just compared me with?" Yang Zi asked smiling bewitchingly at Zhao Liying just to spite the lady who has always got on her nerves each time they met.

"The difference is that they are in the past and they will forever remain in his past unlike me. I am his present and there is also a high possibility that I will also be in his future so you don't have to worry about me," Yang Zi said, still maintaining her bewitching smile.

Seeing her bewitching smile, Zhao Liying gritted her teeth in annoyance. She felt the urge to slap her, but she held back since everyone's stares were on both of them.

Yang Zi turned to leave when she saw that the lady had nothing else to say. The moment she made to walk away, Zhao Liying held her left wrist.

"Yang Zi, although I don't like you and I don't think I will ever like you in this lifetime but, I know that you are a wonderful lady. You have never been rumoured to be in any relationship scandals, unlike Feng," Zhao Liying insisted. She could not let this opportunity to plant the seed of doubts in Yang Zi's mind passed away just like that. She will perfectly use it.

"Can't you read in between the lines? You are too good for Feng. He is a man with so many flaws. He doesn't deserve you one bit," Zhao Liying said, pretending as though she cared about Yang Zi.

Hahaha.... look at this cunning brat telling me that Feng is not good enough for me. If he doesn't deserve me, then is it you that deserves him? If he is as bad as you portray him, then why are you so bent on having him at all costs?

Yang Zi thought, giving her a fierce stare.

"Zhao Liying, I never said I was looking for MR. PERFECT, Ok?" Yang Zi chided her sternly.
