Chapter 17: Stunning and Stunning
Mia hung her head slightly and shook it slowly, “I’m just a pet, no right to be upset.”
There was a silence that could almost take your breath away.
“That’s good.” Asher restarted the car, but the haze in his eyes grew more pronounced, and the coldness around him grew more appalling.
He didn’t see, however, that Mia’s face was growing pale, almost as white as paper.
The car stopped in front of the villa, and Mia silently got out of the car and walked silently towards her room, her figure, with a hint of pitying despondency.
“You don’t have to take Lena’s words to heart.” Asher suddenly opened his mouth as Mia walked to the door.
Pausing sharply, Mia’s body shuddered slightly before she finally twisted her head and said calmly, “It’s okay, I’ll do my part.”
Her slender figure, at last, faded into the darkness.
Asher stood in the doorway, his body gradually stiffening into a straight line, his thin lips pursed together.
The next night, the Jun family villa.
The entire villa was decorated with bright lights and dazzling exceptions, and the guests attending the banquet were all dressed in full regal and elegant attire.
The Jun family is famous throughout Asia, and everyone wants to try their best to please, even if they get a minute and a half of light, it is enough for them to spend their whole life.
Although there was still some time before the banquet, many people had gathered in the hall early, and the whole hall looked exceptionally lively.
“I heard that Master Jun will show up with his girlfriend this time, so looking forward to it!”
“No way, Master Jun has never confirmed a girlfriend despite all the scandals, will he really show up with one this time?”
“You guys don’t know, the thousand-year-old Miss Lai’s group is said to be Master Jun’s girlfriend, their two families are family friends, Miss Lai is handpicked by Grandpa Jun, who dares to object?”
“I’d like to think that there’s no way Master Jun would accept Grandpa Jun’s arrangement …”
…
Even though Asher hasn’t shown up until now, he’s still the focus and center of the entire conversation.
Grandpa Jun and Mr. and Mrs. Jun Haotian, who had already been at the party for about ten minutes, were a little upset to see that Asher hadn’t actually arrived yet.
Grandpa Jun, in particular, twisted his head to look at his son and daughter-in-law, “This is the good boy you have raised, this boy has never let me worry about him since he was a child, knowing that this party is so important, but he came late, it’s just so unbelievable!”
“Dad, maybe Asher has something delayed, besides, you still don’t know his foul temper, so don’t take it to heart.” Seeing that the old man was angry, Lily hurriedly rounded up for her son.
Just as she finished her words, a cheer could be heard from the crowd, “Master Jun is here! Master Jun is here!”
Everyone’s eyes, looked towards the door, their eyes full of admiration and eagerness, especially the women present, who were very excited to see Asher even just once.
As the crowd looked on expectantly, Asher and Mia appeared in the doorway and scanned the hall with unmistakable grace.
Everyone held their breath, staring at the two people in front of them with rapt attention.
The Asher at the doorway, just standing casually, seemed to gather a thousand rays of light from heaven and earth, dwarfing even the unbelievably bright diamonds in the room.
Asher has seductive and captivating eyebrows, a pair of black eyes with ripples, and a handsome face with an emperor-like untamed and domineering, stern and ruthless.
Slightly curly and thick eyelashes, like the thin wings of a butterfly with a stunning noble overwhelming, straight nose, sexy thin lips pursed up in a faint curve, red lips flushed with an attractive gloss.
His exquisite and handsome features were completely just right, and every part of him was so stunning that one couldn’t move their eyes. The entire body was overwhelmingly untamed and dignified, as if the entire world had been subjugated at his feet.
The light in the room, spilling over his body like a sheet of mercury, outlined his perfect to the extreme lines, a soft glow enveloping his circumference, unable to conceal the coldness and evilness flowing in his eyes.
How’s this for a man who is perfect to the core, noble to the core, and dominant to the core!
Mia, beside him, had changed into a strapless evening gown in precious blue, the long precious blue dress was even more elegant under the bright lights, the long hemline spread like mercury on the carpet, the waistline was extremely slim and the corseted waist outlined her slim and perfect waist.
The material of the gown was extremely smooth, and when the light was cast on it, it reflected an incomparable radiance, printing her curves.
Mia’s hair is coiled high in a gorgeous intricate braid at the top of her head, and elegantly tucked back together to reveal a bare forehead for a magnificent look.
Her clear eyes were radiantly luminous, and the gorgeous decorations around her were surprisingly the accompaniment to her eyes.
Everyone in the hall was completely and utterly amazed!
“She’s dressed up, but she matches Asher.” After a long look, a faint smile spread across Lily’s fair face and she said softly.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Grandpa Jun, on the other hand, frowned and asked unhappily, “So, you know this woman beside Asher? Doesn’t he know what day it is, to bring another woman here, is just nonsense! How should it end if Xiao Na sees it?”
“Dad, this is a matter between the kids, why don’t we let them work it out on their own?” Frowning slightly at her showy brow, Lily said softly to Grandpa Jun.
Jun Haotian also chimed in, “Yes dad, it’s not the old society anymore, the kids should be the ones to make their own decisions …”
“Assholes!” Grandpa Jun trembled with anger, “Asher doesn’t know the rules, so you guys follow suit and fool around? What is the status of our Jun family, is it not for a common woman to enter? Get Asher over here for me …”
Before Grandpa Jun could finish his words, he saw another commotion ring out from the crowd, and it turned out to be the arrival of Lena in a black evening gown.
She was originally of mixed Chinese and American descent, unusually delicate in looks, and tonight, having been deliberately groomed, she was even more gorgeous, causing the crowd to look towards her, their eyes reflecting their amazement.
Lena enjoyed the feeling of being watched so much that she stood in the doorway for a good two minutes before looking around in all directions for Asher.
“Asher…” as Riina rushed up to Asher’s face, but he found Mia standing beside him as well and asked coldly with a sullen face, “What are you doing here? Don’t you even look, is this kind of place for you to come?”
Her critical gaze passed over Mia’s body again and again, her eyes filled with disbelief. How could Mia, who looked so poor and sour that day, be so stunning!
Mia’s beauty is a clear, fresh beauty that is surprisingly breathtaking underneath the pomp and circumstance.
The way the men around her looked at Mia made Lena’s teeth itch.
She’s the star of the day, how can Mia, who is Asher’s pet, steal her thunder!
She must do everything she can to trample Mia so hard that she will lose her face and never pick it up again!
“Miss Lai, tell me instead, why should I not be allowed to come to a place like this?” Putting the tall glass down in her hand, Mia had a faint smile on her face.
Before coming, she had been prepared for what might be coming.
Mia’s bemusement made Riina a little furious, “Don’t you know that this party is to announce the relationship between Asher and me?”
“Oh?” Mia looked aside at Asher lightly, her stunning face without the slightest expression, but a sour feeling welled up in her heart.
Seeing Asher’s lack of reaction and bemused expression, Riina stomped her foot indignantly, turned her head to see Grandpa Jun and lunged at once, “Grandpa, look at Asher, on a day like this, to bring this woman back! Grandpa, I don’t care, you have to help me oust that woman!”
“Fine, fine, Grandpa knows you’re aggravated, Grandpa will help you shoo her away, don’t be angry, okay?” In front of Lina, Grandpa Jun looked rather doting. Turning his head, he instructed Lily, “Tell Asher to come over here for a moment, I have something to say!”
“Master, it’s so crowded today, or …” Looking around at the crowd watching with bated breath, Lily’s face was a little embarrassed.
Who knew that Grandpa Jun would sink his face, “You go when you’re told to, why should I give him any shame if he doesn’t care about doing anything! If he knew how to behave, he wouldn’t have brought that woman to make a fool of himself!”
Lily had no choice but to call Asher over, Mia didn’t want to follow, but Asher kept holding her hand and didn’t seem to have any intention of letting go.
In fact, one look at Grandpa Jun’s cloudy face gave her an idea of what was about to come her way.
“Asher, you are really getting out of my sight, this kind of occasion, you actually brought another woman over, do you want to disgrace our Jun family to the bone before you will stop?” Seeing Asher and Mia interlocking their fingers, Grandpa Jun was even more furious.
The couple standing to Grandpa Jun’s right looked at each other with helplessness on their faces, except for Asher, whose expression remained calm, seemingly unconcerned by Grandpa Jun’s “rant”.
“Do you hear me! Throw this woman out of my house right now! Or else, you’ll never enter the Jun family’s front door again!” Seeing Asher’s bemused expression, Grandpa Jun was even more furious, his beard shaking, and he pounded his cane on the ground with hatred.
Jun Haotian saw his father really moved to anger, he hurriedly full of smile to persuade, “Dad, he is still young and does not understand things, why do you need to move so much anger, do not be angry, this matter is left to me to deal with it …”
“And you two, don’t be too indulgent with Asher, it’s because you’re too indulgent that he’s in the state he’s in! How dare you show up with another woman! It’s just nonsense!” Grandpa Jun reprimanded in no good mood.
Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Riina hurriedly said in a petulant voice to Grandpa Jun, “Grandpa, you’re mistaken, it’s not Asher’s fault, it’s this woman’s fault!”
All eyes were on Mia.
