Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Noble Lady vs. Reborn Foster Daughter (Part 7)
Cheng Yiru watched Cheng Xizhi stand on the stage, the center of everyone’s attention.
Those who had just surrounded her now had all their attention fixed on Cheng Xizhi.
It had always been this way, whenever Cheng Xizhi was around, nobody could see Cheng Yiru’s existence.
Her fingernails dug fiercely into the palm of her hand.
Suddenly feeling warmth, Cheng Yiru looked up to find Yuen Hang draping a shawl over her shoulders.
Looking at this man with handsome features, her heart felt warm. This man, in both her past and present life, only ever had eyes for her.
For a moment, Cheng Yiru wavered, thinking maybe it would be quite good to let go of the resentments from her past life and focus on being with Yuen Hang.
However, glancing again at Cheng Xizhi on the stage, radiant and the focus of the crowd, she suppressed that thought.

No, how could she rest unless she saw Cheng Xizhi fall into the dust, the Cheng family in ruins?
Thinking of her own arrangement, she smiled slyly.
Yuan Xu stood among the crowd, frowning at the intimate scenes between Yuen Hang and Cheng Yiru, as if they were alone in the world.
Both brothers knew about the family’s plan for Yuen Hang to form a marital alliance with the Cheng clan. Because of his non-cooperation, the family had decided to let Yuen Hang, the second son, marry into the Cheng clan.
The marriage partner designated for the union between the Yuen Group and the Cheng clan could only be Cheng Xizhi.
After all, Cheng Yiru was just an adopted daughter; to form a strong alliance, a daughter without the direct bloodline of the Cheng family clearly wasn’t significant enough.
Yet, looking at Yuen Hang and Cheng Yiru together, they obviously seemed to be in mutual love.
Yuan Xu watched Cheng Xizhi, poised and graceful on the stage, like a noble white swan, and he couldn’t help feeling that his brother, already affectionate with her sister, seemed somewhat unworthy of her.
A woman like that should have a lover who loves her wholeheartedly. She deserved the best affection.
Yuan Xu shook his head, feeling strange about the thoughts that had crossed his mind, sensing that his emotions had been abnormal these past few days.
Gu Shengyin stepped off the stage, feeling a bit thirsty, and happened to catch an attendant passing by, from whom she took a glass of champagne and took a sip.
Her gaze, searching subconsciously for Yuan Xu, discovered that the man had already disappeared without a trace. Had he left early?
She suddenly felt bored and decided to return to her previous seat to wait for the banquet to end and go home with her elder brother.
Why is it so hot?
Gu Shengyin had been sitting for a while when she distinctly felt the air temperature rise.
That’s not right! It’s impossible for a top-level hotel to make such a mistake.
Gu Shengyin quickly realized the problem wasn’t with the hotel, but with herself.
She had been drugged without noticing!
Reflecting on the events that had happened prior, the only possibility was when she had just left the stage and taken a glass of champagne from a passing attendant.
That very glass of champagne now in front of her!
Damn it!
Gu Shengyin cursed her own carelessness, feeling an increasingly intense heat inside her body, and hurried toward the restroom.
She couldn’t afford to lose composure in this hall!
Not far away, Cheng Yiru, while chatting and laughing with the people around her, glanced out of the corner of her eye at Cheng Xizhi heading unsteadily toward the restroom.
A cryptic smile played on her lips as she apologized to her company and stepped aside to pick up her phone.
“Hello… You can come over now.”
