The Beautiful Time With You

Translator: StarveCleric Editor: StarveCleric

The Lin Family could be considered as one of the aristocratic families in Beijing, so there were bound to be many distinguished individuals attending Grandpa Lin's birthday banquet.

If it were known that Shi Yao had given Grandpa Lin an imitation in front of those members of the high society…

Just the thought of it was enough to leave Liang Mumu's blood racing in excitement.

Such a sight would be truly exhilarating, right? That would be more than enough to make Shi Yao a laughingstock amongst Beijing's circle of aristocrats, right?

Lin Jiage's mother, Jiang Wangui, had always been a particularly proud and lofty individual, and she had a particular loathing for those who were unable to pull their own weight… If her plan succeeded, Shi Yao's impression in Jiang Wangui's heart would drop to the gutters in an instant.

So what if Grandpa Lin liked her? So what if Lin Jiage liked her?

Jiang Wangui was the person who held the most say in the Lin Family. Furthermore, Grandpa Lin was already getting on in age, and he didn't have too many years ahead of him anyway…

So, all she truly had to do was let Jiang Wangui know that Shi Yao was a useless person! Jiang Wangui might not do anything to Shi Yao at the moment in deference to Grandpa Lin's wishes, but once Grandpa Lin was gone…

Thinking up to this point, the cold sneer on Liang Mumu's lips became even more apparent.

She had already failed once during Mother's Day.

There was no way she would allow history to repeat itself on Grandpa Lin's birthday banquet.

She had liked Lin Jiage from a very young age, and this entire time, due to the close relationship between Lin Jiage and her cousin, Liang Jiusi, she had always felt that she stood the greatest chance of all. But who would have thought that an obstacle known as Shi Yao would leap into the picture all of a sudden!

She looked down on Shi Yao's lowly birth from the bottom of her heart, but in order to find out how her relationship with Lin Jiage was progressing, she held in her contempt and befriended her. When she realized that there was no interaction between the two of them, she celebrated gleefully on the inside, all while criticizing Lin Jiage together with her on the surface.

In fact, even the coincidental meeting they had with Lin Jiage in SKP's lift a long time ago was also something she arranged.

She learned from Liang Jiusi that their group would be eating at SKP that night, so she liaised with a lady from their group in advance.

In the lift, when Lin Jiage couldn't recognize Shi Yao at all, words couldn't begin to describe how avidly joyful she felt. She intentionally asked Lin Jiage why he was ignoring Shi Yao in order to put her in an awkward position.

Over the years, she hadn't neglected to use these little ploys. No matter how different from the truth it was, she would always make sure to fill Shi Yao in on which woman Lin Jiage had gone out to eat with and which woman he had escorted back home. On top of that, she wouldn't forget to emphasize how good the figures of those women were. It was all to crush Shi Yao's self-esteem, making her feel like she couldn't match up to Lin Jiage. Gradually, the distance between Lin Jiage and her would just grow further and further…

As such, she wasn't in the least surprised when Shi Yao told her that she was intending to cancel her engagement with Lin Jiage. It was all within her expectations.

After all, she had been leading Shi Yao toward this outcome one step at a time. For six whole years, she was finally able to usher in such a day. That day, when she parted with Shi Yao, she couldn't help but cry in the car out of agitation. After she finally calmed her emotions down, the first thing she did was to run to the Lin Family and report the matter to Grandpa Lin.

She wanted to create a misunderstanding between the two of them and make Lin Jiage abhor Shi Yao even more.

She was determined. She was confident. But as time passed, the news she received was that Lin Jiage had brought her to one of Liang Jiusi's parties instead… So, she rigged the game they played that night. She thought that Lin Jiage would never kiss Shi Yao, but her assumption was disproved with a tight slap to her face.

It was then that she realized that the one that changed wasn't Shi Yao but Lin Jiage.

She had spent so much time and effort to induce Shi Yao to cancel her engagement with Lin Jiage, but who could have thought that Lin Jiage would actually begin to notice Shi Yao…
