When Sara arrived at the hotel with Hoy, she instantly recognised the place.

It was this hotel. Where she had seen Jinyong and Weiyoung together getting engaged behind her back.

She smirked before entering inside with Hoy leading the way.

"I don"t know what CEO Li is thinking but I hope things work out well" Hoy said.

He still couldn"t fanthom why Muchen was doing this but he knew his cousin. He didn"t take decisions without thinking it through and thoroughly.

"I hope so too." She tired her best to mask her anxiety. 

When they both entered inside a hall, Sara noted that this hall was smaller than the hall those two idiots had used for their engagement party. 

They both stood side by side to watch the people working inside. Decoration team, Technical team etc. They were about ten to fifteen people scattered inside the hall.

"The guests are few. Just relatives and a bit of the top tyc.o.o.ns. Remember it"s a surprise birthday party. Every other person is aware except for grandmother. The issue is the plan to bring her out tomorrow. I don"t know how it"s going to happen. I paid a visit to her yesterday but didn"t know what next to say" Hoy admitted with a sigh.

They all had been thinking of ways to bring Sun out. She was a woman who knew things that were even done in the secret. They had all taken extra measures to make sure she wasn"t alerted.

Even the invitees had been informed also. No one was to mention anything to her. 

 "I heard you"re her favourite" Sara said with her eyes glued to the workers inside.

"I"m not sure about that" He honestly replied.

"You should being her out then" 

"How am I supposed to do that." He turned his head to look at her.

"You"re taking her out on a date. Tell her to dress nice. And do not think about leaving until she agrees to go out with you. Then, bring her here." Sara paused to think before adding

"In fact, give her the clothes to wear. Tell her it"s your Christmas gift to her and you want to see her wear it. It would be awkward for her to dress casually while everyone else dresses nicely for her birthday don"t you think so?" She tried to reason with him.

"What if she refuses to wear it?" 

"No problem. Bring her here. Once she sees it"s her birthday party, She"ll agree to change."

Hoy chuckled. "You"re smart" 

She turned to look at him for a split second before looking back at the people working "I know" She said haughtily.

"I"ll introduce you to them. Come on" Hoy look large strides to the front and asked the workers to gather. 

After the introduction, he hurriedly left to attend to some business but asked Sara to give him a couple of minutes and he"ll be back to join her.

She still had to familiarize herself with the place. He also had to fill her in on the guests that would be arriving tomorrow.

She had noticed the way some of them looked at her during the introduction like she was not meant to be there. 

They had obviously recognised her as Sara w.a.n.g so they knew she wasn"t a socialite or whatever. Well, that was their business. She wasn"t here for them.

Sara strolled round the place, carefully looking at the decorations and was truly marvelled. Suddenly, she heard one of the girls in the decoration team behind her, sneer indirectly at her. 

"It"s one of the reason you should be born pretty. You can always have your way."

Sara pursed her lips and pretended like she didn"t hear the lady.

No one said a word. The guys or ladies, everyone acted like they hadn"t heard her and Sara didn"t bother to take it seriously. 

"It must feel nice to seduce a rich man. First it was the nephew then, then the uncle. Only G.o.d knows who else you seduced to get here"

"Will you shut up and keep working already?" One of the young men at the technical unit snapped at her in annoyance. 

She scoffed and placed both hands on her waist. "Who are you yelling at? You better watch it." She warned him.

"It"s okay sis. Let"s just get this over with and leave here" A younger girl from the decoration unit said to her. 

She pretended to admire a flower as she listened to their exchange. She didn"t bother to look at her direction but she could feel their eyes on her.

The girl who spoke seemed to the leading the decoration team. Sara hadn"t turned to see who was talking but she knew instantly who it was. She had seen the way the lady looked at her when she appeared with Hoy and after he had introduced her to them as the MC of the party.

Sara had expected the girl to stop there but it seemed like she had no intention of doing so. She continued ranting about how they had to pick a n.o.body because of connections blah blah blah. 

She tried to control herself but she was losing control. She knew the best thing to do was to ignore her. She had been taking those cla.s.ses and she had learned a lot. But the problem was putting it into practice. 

She ruled out the fact that this was probably a test from them. She had had rumours plus what she had seen in Mr Gold"s office on her first day there, what had happened with Zhang Hansong.

They usually tested people unknowingly to them. What if this was a test? 

But then she remembered that no one there knew her as Sara w.a.n.g so they probably wouldn"t have known about her coming here.

But even if this was a test, well, she could just fail this one then. 

"You there..." Sara turned and called her arrogantly.

Everyone stopped whatever they were doing to look at her. 

They wondered what it was that she was going to say or do. 

She looked quiet and innocent so they hadn"t expected her to retaliate.

The lady on the other hand looked like she was ready for whatever Sara was going to throw at her. 

"What? You there?" She asked with a scoff of disbelief. 

"If you want to talk to me, then do it in front of me. Say it directly." 

"What is this?" The lady laughed throatily. "You think you are something now because you are here?" 

"Don"t blame anyone for your ugliness. If you feel the world is unfair to you because you are ugly then I"ll gladly put up a donation for you to have a plastic surgery. With that face of yours, you should always keep quiet and not draw attention to yourself. Who do you think you are to talk to me in such manner?" 

To be sincere, the lady wasn"t that bad looking. She looked average and it was obvious from the trousers and s.h.i.+rt she was wearing that she had a nice body. But Sara knew she was prettier than her. And that was what she was going to use against this woman.

"What....did you just say?" The woman looked at her in surprise and anger. How dare this girl call her ugly and mock her?

She could clearly hear the m.u.f.fled laughter of most of the people there as they watched the show. Most of them didn"t even bother to pretend like they weren"t laughing.

"You are too small for me to banter with. Just do your job quietly and please... refrain yourself before my patience run out." Sara said to her with a straight face before strolling out of the hall, leaving the lady totally stupefied.

Maybe it was a bad idea waiting for Hoy there. She was going to wait outside instead. 

She went through a door at the other end of the hotel and was blessed with a very beautiful sight.

Her mouth fell open when she saw how beautiful the place looked. It was like a big garden with a water fountain  at one end.

"Wow!" She couldn"t help exclaiming. 

She closed her eyes and widened her arms to take in a few deep breaths before opening them up again. 

"For weddings" She heard a voice say behind her. 

She had thought she was alone so the voice startled her. 

She turned to look at the one who had spoken behind her and saw it was a middle aged man. He was probably in his late fortiesor early fifties but he looked really das.h.i.+ng for his age.

She didn"t know much about clothing brands so she only knew his grey suit was fitted and his dark hair, scattered with bits of grey was slicked to the back handsomely. He had broad shoulders, a high chin, pointed nose and round black eyes with full brows.

For some reason, she felt he looked familiar but she couldn"t place it. 

"Sorry I startled you" Li Fazhan said with an apologetic smile.
