Chapter Thirty-Two: Her stunning beauty dazzled Fu Hengzhi.
Upon seeing the large screen, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
"What is going on?! Scattering ashes into a cesspool? How could anyone be so heartless and inhumane!"
"I recognize this sender's phone number! Isn't this Chairman Zhou's phone number?"
Su Muci raised her voice and explained unhurriedly, "This is the invitation text message that Chairman Zhou sent me. Young Master Fu, do you still think I came uninvited?"
Fu Hengzhi's expression froze for a moment.
The Su Muci before me was poised and graceful, her demeanor composed and unhurried. Where was the shy, reclusive woman she used to be?
Especially her outfit today, even though he was unwilling to admit it, he was still amazed by her.
He suppressed the heat in his eyes and said coldly, "Fine, I gave you face by leaving, but you don't appreciate it. Then you can wait for Uncle Zhou and the others to come and kick you out in person!"
While the villa's hall was in chaos, the steward had already rushed upstairs to announce: "Master, Madam, Miss, Miss Su has arrived!"
"Oh? Did she come in through the main entrance or the side entrance? Was she mistaken for a beggar and surrounded by onlookers as soon as she arrived?"
Zhou Mengying slowly raised her eyes and asked.
The steward felt a chill run down his spine: "Miss, Miss Su did enter through the main gate and was indeed surrounded by onlookers, but that's because the guests mistook her for you! Even the young master of the Fu family mistook her for you and went up to hug her, only to be slapped by Miss Su and made a fool of himself!"
"Young Master Fu, in a fit of anger, claimed that she didn't have an invitation and wanted to kick her out. But then Miss Su projected the invitation text message from the master onto the big screen... Now the hall is in complete chaos!"
"??"
Zhou Mengying's face instantly contorted into a grimace.
Were those guests blind? They actually mistook Su Muci for her. How dare that kind of beggar try to scam her, the dignified Miss Zhou?
Beside him, Zhou Wangyuan's focus was completely different: "The invitation text message I sent? When did I...?"
The next second, Zhou Wangyuan seemed to realize something, his pupils widened suddenly, "Damn it, that bitch!"
Zhou Wangyuan rushed downstairs toward the lobby in a great hurry.
Zhou Mengying quickly gathered up her wide skirt with both hands and followed after her.
To her, mistaking Su Muchi, a lowly woman from the slums, for someone noble and beautiful was an utter disgrace!
She had to let all the guests see what the real her was like!
Mrs. Zhou followed behind Zhou Mengying and whispered, "Ying'er, slow down. This dress costs six figures to rent for a day. Be careful not to tear it!"
...
Two minutes later, the Zhou family members stepped down the stairs and arrived at the main hall of the villa.
Zhou Wangyuan rushed to the front, saw the text message on the big screen, and was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He immediately ordered, "Turn off the screen right now!"
The text message on the screen suddenly disappeared.
When the guests saw that the Zhou family had finally appeared, they all crowded around them.
"Chairman Zhou, what exactly is going on?"
"Did you really send that text message? Who is that Miss Su to you?"
Zhou Wangyuan's face turned red with anger at these comments.
Su Muci had humiliated him utterly today, but Zhou Wangyuan, mindful of the presence of guests, suppressed the urge to slap her and explained to everyone:
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my private banquet. Su Muci is my eldest daughter with my ex-wife. She is of despicable character and severed ties with my Zhou family eight years ago."
"I was considerate of my ex-wife and let her come home without holding a grudge, but she photoshopped my text messages and posted them on the screen, ruining my reputation. It's my fault for not disciplining my daughter properly, and I'm sorry for making a fool of myself!"
In an instant, discussions arose.
"It was photoshopped! That's really too much!"
"This Miss Su proposed to Young Master Fu in front of everyone, trying to steal her fiancé from her stepsister? How wicked!"
"But I must say, Miss Su looks more beautiful than Miss Zhou. I wonder what Mr. Fu will choose?"
Zhou Mengying arrived just in time to hear those two sentences.
Su Muci is even more beautiful than her?!
What a ridiculous joke!
Zhou Mengying, exuding the air of a young lady, wore an expensive rented dress and walked gracefully through the crowd towards the banquet hall, feigning gentleness as she asked, "Dad, is my sister here?"
The word "sister" made the crowd quickly part.
Suddenly, the view opened up.
Zhou Mengying's gaze swept inside, her eyes revealing undisguised contempt as she looked at the woman not far from Zhou Wangyuan.
She'd like to see today what Su Muci, that poor woman who can't even afford a decent dress, has to offer that she can compare to her!
However, when her gaze settled on him, her almond-shaped eyes widened in disbelief.
The pink floral dress Su Muchi wore was the most expensive one in the exhibition area when she was choosing dresses from Sofia designers.
She vaguely remembered that it was for sale only, not for rent, and the purchase price was as high as nine figures.
Then look at the exquisite pink diamond on the necklace Su Muci is wearing. It's exactly the same as the Pris Legend Pink Diamond, a love token worth hundreds of millions that Huo Zhan gave her!
The guests couldn't help but comment on the two Zhou family daughters.
"The pink dress worn by the eldest daughter of the Zhou family is made of noble material, the tailoring is natural and the style is novel and elegant. On the other hand, the dress worn by Miss Zhou looks like an unsold item from last year."
"They were born to the same father, but the difference is too great."
Zhou Mengying's face fell.
Her six-figure gown paled in comparison, and the rented platinum and diamond necklace around her neck lost its luster.
Su Muci actually outshone the eldest daughter of the Zhou family with her incredibly realistic replica dress and a replica of the Pris Legend pink diamond?
She cursed inwardly: How hateful, how despicable!
Su Muci answered Zhou Mengying's question calmly: "Yes, Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, Miss Zhou, as you wish, I, Su Muci, have arrived. Mr. Zhou, out of consideration for your ex-wife, I, as your daughter, would like to take this opportunity to visit the Zhou family ancestral hall to pay respects to my biological mother. Is that permissible?"
Surrounded by people, Zhou Wangyuan could only agree: "Of course."
He turned and whispered to the steward, "Take her inside, keep an eye on her, and don't let her run around!"
The steward nodded: "Yes."
Su Muci had come specifically for her mother's ashes, so she ignored everyone in the banquet hall and followed the butler to the back of the villa.
As she passed by Madam Zhou and Zhou Mengying in her elegant gown, a slight smile played on her lips, and her eyes revealed a determined resolve. There was not a trace of her past fear and hesitation towards the Zhou family.
Zhou Mengying felt a surge of jealousy and resentment.
Even high-quality replicas like these aren't cheap! Where did that bitch Su Muchi get the money? Where did she get the audacity?
She had Zhou's father force Su Muci to come over, not to see the confident and radiant Su Muci now!
Fu Hengzhi noticed Zhou Mengying's displeasure and came over to comfort her: "Ying'er, I didn't expect Su Muci to disregard her spending power and dress like this just to seduce me."
"But don't worry, no matter how much she schemes, you are my fiancée, and you will always be the most beautiful in my eyes!"
Fu Hengzhi's passionate declaration was met with a retort from Zhou Wangyuan, who was standing not far away: "Young Master Fu, what were you saying just now? What fiancée?"
Fu Hengzhi froze abruptly, caught off guard.
He glanced at the guests around him and noticed that everyone's eyes were on him; his face darkened.
"Uncle Zhou, didn't you already agree to my marriage with Ying'er? What's the meaning of this now?"
