The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 275

On the other side, at the Emperor Hotel—

Jiang Moxi had just arrived at the entrance of the Emperor Hotel on her motorcycle when she received a call from Ling Hua.

"Sister Moxi, I’m almost there. Can you wait for me in the hotel lobby?" Ling Hua was growing more and more fond of Jiang Moxi and was becoming increasingly clingy.

Jiang Moxi also thought it would be somewhat boring to go in early; she might even have to endure an awkward stare-down with Fu Wangning, so she agreed to Ling Hua.

"Then hurry up."

"Got it."

Jiang Moxi put away her phone and, as she walked through the gates of the Emperor Hotel, she saw a scrolling line of text on the LED display above—

"Hearty congratulations to Miss Jiang Weiwei for winning first place in her piano competition category for the second time."

Jiang Moxi paused for a moment, but quickly recovered and settled down on a sofa in the hotel lobby, ready to leave as soon as Ling Hua arrived.

What she didn’t expect was that, at that moment, Jiang Weiwei also arrived at the Emperor Hotel, surrounded by a crowd of people.

Today, Jiang Tairan had not only invited some insiders but also all the other contestants from the competition, and he had extended an invitation to Jhiang Heting.

However, Jhiang Heting had declined the invitation on the grounds of being busy organizing the piano competition.

The contestants who had competed against Jiang Weiwei before, however, had mostly shown up.

Some of these people were socialites from the upper echelons of Yan City, while others came from more ordinary backgrounds, but now they all equally flattered Jiang Weiwei.

After all, who could deny that Jiang Weiwei was now the brightest star and the one with the most promising future in this piano competition?

So, even before they walked into the hotel lobby, from a distance, one could hear their compliments to Jiang Weiwei.

"Weiwei, you’re wearing the latest release from Yunshang X tonight, aren’t you? It’s really gorgeous."

"I tend to get jealous of others easily, but I just can’t be jealous of you, Weiwei. Not only are you beautiful and come from a good family, but your character and talent are also admirable. Envy towards such a perfect person like you feels like blasphemy."

Underneath these flattering comments, Jiang Weiwei still flaunted a humble persona, "You’re exaggerating too much; I’m not as good as you say."

Then she seized the opportunity to praise the merits of others as well.

Overall, it was a large mutual admiration session.

Jiang Moxi didn’t pay much attention, quickly shifting her gaze and urging Ling Hua to hurry up on WeChat.

While basking in the praise of others and losing herself, Jiang Weiwei noticed a familiar silhouette in the hotel lobby; a flicker of malice and ruthlessness passed in the depths of her eyes.

Jiang Moxi!

What was she doing at the Emperor Hotel?

Could it be that the Jiang family had also invited her over when arranging a celebration banquet for Jiang Weiwei?

Or had Jiang Moxi learned of the lavish celebration banquet the Jiang family was throwing for her, Jiang Weiwei, and thus she had come uninvited to cause trouble?

Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, both options infuriated Jiang Weiwei immensely.

She didn’t want Jiang Moxi’s appearance to spoil her good mood during her moment in the spotlight.

Because of Jiang Moxi’s true heiress identity, which in itself highlighted Jiang Weiwei’s greatest failing.

Thus, Jiang Weiwei excused herself to greet other guests, asking those who had been singing her praises to head to the banquet first, while she herself, wearing her heels of over ten centimeters and full of presence, walked assertively towards Jiang Moxi.

"Moxi."

Dressed in a custom-designed sequined backless dress with tie straps from Yunshang’s lead designer X, Jiang Weiwei displayed her alluring and perfect figure without holding back.

Complementing her look with specially styled big wavy curls and fiery red lips for the evening, she was dazzlingly beautiful.

As Jiang Moxi raised her head and gazed at the dress with a lost expression, Jiang Weiwei felt her own presence instantly elevate to towering heights.

"The dress was a favor my mother pulled, a private custom order from Yunshang’s chief designer X, costing around a million."

Jiang Weiwei, hooking her red lips, seemed to be boasting but appeared more like she was trying to strike at Jiang Moxi.

"I told Mom there’s no need for this, but she insisted on having it made for me, saying I deserve the best things in the world."

She fiddled with the beautiful diamond bracelet on her wrist, her tone gradually becoming shrill and biting.

"The reason I’m telling you this is to let you know no matter what tricks you play behind my back, I won’t fall, because the Jiang Family needs talents like me, not trash like you!"

When she was framed by Jiang Moxi and ended up in prison, Jiang Weiwei already had a falling out with her. So now, she couldn’t be bothered to hide her ambition from Jiang Moxi.

"If you’re smart, you’ll get out of Emperor Hotel right now. I don’t welcome people like you at my celebration banquet!"

But after saying so much, Jiang Moxi only coldly asked her, "Who said I’m here for your celebration banquet? I can’t stand such nauseating stuff."

Jiang Weiwei felt ridiculed, her facial features twisted with rage, her eyes barely concealing her ferocity.

"You’re not here for my celebration banquet? Then what are you here for? To serve plates?"

Jiang Weiwei didn’t believe this was a coincidence, especially after being horribly embarassed last time because of plagiarizing Jiang Moxi’s homework. She couldn’t help but suspect that Jiang Moxi was here to make her a laughingstock again!

"It’s none of your business." Jiang Moxi dropped these words and stood up, ready to leave the sofa area to avoid Jiang Weiwei’s incessant buzzing.

As Jiang Moxi stood up, Jiang Weiwei got a clear view of her entire outfit for today.

In fact, Jiang Moxi’s clothes, which still appeared to be of no identifiable brand and were in a low-key black, didn’t have any remarkable features.

But her facial features, as beautiful as a painting, made her attire look full of texture, and she herself was stunningly beautiful.

Jiang Weiwei initially felt a sense of superiority over Jiang Moxi because of wearing a million-dollar outfit.

However, now that Jiang Moxi had just stood up and coldly glanced at her, that authoritative demeanor made Jiang Weiwei instantly feel overshadowed again, which infuriated her even more.

Thus, as Jiang Moxi was about to pass her, she grabbed Jiang Moxi’s hand.

"If you don’t make things clear, you can’t expect to just sneak by today."

She absolutely wouldn’t allow Jiang Moxi to spoil her moment in the spotlight.

Jiang Moxi tried shaking off Jiang Weiwei’s hand, but Jiang Weiwei was clinging on tenaciously.

"Jiang Weiwei, don’t force me to get physical with you!" Jiang Moxi warned in a cold voice.

And just then, Jiang Weiwei spotted Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man arriving at the entrance of the hotel, and she immediately taunted Jiang Moxi, "Let’s see if you dare to lay a hand on me?"

Jiang Moxi did want to kick Jiang Weiwei a few times so that she’d learn why the flower blooms so brightly.

But before she could act, Jiang Weiwei suddenly let out a hysterical scream, "Moxi, don’t push me!"

Then, she just fell backward on her own...

Jiang Moxi watched Jiang Weiwei sit on the ground and couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her lips.

But she soon realized why Jiang Weiwei had put on such a performance.

Because after her splendid act, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man both rushed over, yelling, "Jiang Moxi, why are you bullying Weiwei again?"

"Why are you so petty, unable to tolerate Weiwei?"

It still faintly pained Jiang Moxi that her biological parents so unreasonably pinned all the blame on her without distinguishing right from wrong.

So, she still tried to explain for herself, "I didn’t push her. If I did, she wouldn’t be in one piece like this."

But before Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng could even express their stance, Jiang Weiwei started to self-criticize.

"Mom and dad, I don’t blame Moxi. Moxi said that this evening’s banquet should have been hers, and she’s right. If it weren’t for me... it would be justified for her to hate me, to hit me."
