Three years ago, Lin Feiran married into the Chu family to raise money for her child's medical treatment. Her husband hadn't returned in three years, and they had never even met.
Thre...
Lin Feiran laughed. "No, no, how dare I control the person who pays me. Since Mr. Chu doesn't have any work arrangements, I'll go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art tomorrow."
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is the largest art museum in the United States. It is known as one of the five largest museums in the world, along with the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, the British Museum in London, England, the Louvre in Paris, France, and the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
When Lin Feiran came to New York, she had no interest in the Statue of Liberty, but she still wanted to visit this kind of art museum.
Chu Yu immediately said, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow. I have a party tonight, and you can go with me as my female companion."
This party was hosted by a partner of his who came from a wealthy family in Country M. The other party happened to know that he was in New York and warmly invited him to attend the party. He couldn't refuse, so he agreed.
Lin Feiran did not refuse, and went to the party with Chu Yu in the evening.
The party was held in a club. The venue was not very large, but there were quite a few guests attending.
When getting off the car, Chu Yu extended his hand to Lin Feiran.
Lin Feiran glared at him: "You are no longer blind now, and you still want me to hold your hand?"
Chu Yu smiled: "As a female companion, you have to hold the male companion's arm when you go in. Did you forget?"
Lin Feiran glared at him again, then hooked his arm lightly in a bad mood.
The party hall was bustling with people and beautiful women. Lin Feiran, wearing a silver-gray long dress, walked in with Chu Yu, and they immediately became the focus of the whole audience.
The last time Lin Feiran accompanied Chu Yu to a party as his female companion was in Zhucheng. At that time, she was in a very conflicted mood and went reluctantly, just treating herself as a background for Chu Yu. Once inside, she sat quietly in the corner.
But this time, her mood was completely different, and she seemed much calmer and composed. She smiled gracefully and responded to everyone who came up to greet her together with Chu Yu.
Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, Chu Yu leaned close to Lin Feiran's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Not bad, she looks like a real girlfriend."
Lin Feiran's face turned slightly red.
The word "girlfriend" was something she didn't even dare to think about, so she just pretended not to hear Chu Yu's words and didn't answer him.
Chu Yu thought she was just shy, and with a smile in his eyes, he took her hand and walked to a corner where there were not many people around.
He didn't want to spend the whole night dealing with all kinds of people.
Neither of them noticed that not far behind them, a woman in a lavender evening gown hid in a corner in panic.
The woman was Liu Shishi.
When Liu Shishi went abroad, her first stop wasn't New York. She made a list of wealthy men abroad who had previously shown interest in her, and when she arrived in Country M, she contacted them one by one.
But these men's interest in her was just the same as that in a beautiful woman, and it was all a long time ago. Most of them had even forgotten who she was.
Liu Shishi tossed around for several days and was slept with several times. After that, she was just given some money and sent away. No one had any intention of developing a long-term relationship with her.
She finally found an older man in New York who was willing to support her as one of his mistresses.
This old rich man is short, fat, ugly, and has many wives and concubines. If it were the old Liu Shishi, she would not even look at a finger of his.
But she is no longer the same person she used to be. She can only endure the disgust and despair and devote herself to him, snatching his favor from among his many mistresses. Even accompanying the old man to a party requires her to work hard to get this opportunity.
Liu Shishi's fantasy is that she is now working hard and will one day become successful in the future. After several years, she will return to her country in glory, making Chu Yu regret it and leaving Lin Feiran with no place to be buried.
She never thought that she would meet Chu Yu and Lin Feiran again in New York so soon!
Now was her most miserable time. She didn't want Chu Yu and Lin Feiran to see her like this, so she quickly hid herself.
But hiding like this wasn't a good idea. The old man must have noticed she was missing and was already looking around the party venue for her. If she didn't leave, she would make him angry again.
When Liu Shishi was feeling annoyed, she suddenly heard a strange creaking sound coming from above her head.
She looked up and saw that cracks had appeared on the ceiling above the party venue, and they were rapidly widening and getting bigger!
Liu Shishi screamed, and at the same time, countless screams were heard in the venue, because many people saw the cracking ceiling!
But no one had time to react, because the next moment, there was a loud bang and the entire floor collapsed!
The floor was not just a thin board, it had a suspended ceiling, central air conditioning, and various ceiling lights installed on it. The luxurious crystal chandeliers alone weighed thousands of pounds, and they all collapsed together!
There was a deafening rumbling sound, and almost all the lights in the venue went out, leaving darkness. The ceiling of the venue in the darkness shattered into pieces like a broken eggshell, and fell down, sending countless building materials and glass fragments flying and smoke and dust rising.
Everyone's screams were drowned out by the loud noise.
Only the ceiling collapsed, so this sudden disaster was over quickly.
The venue was a shattered mess. Broken boards and electrical appliances were scattered all over the floor, several large chandeliers lay shattered and tilted, and the ground was covered with broken glass.
Almost all the guests in the venue were buried under the ruins.
After a while, the first scream, like the howling of ghosts and wolves, was heard from the deadly silent conference hall. Someone had been injured by a large chandelier.
This scream seemed to be the beginning of the screams and cries of the survivors that continued to ring out.
