Love Envelope In Lies, chapter one

Wyn Mu and Zoy Zhou’s wedding celebration caused quite a stir in C City. As two of the country’s wealthiest families, their union could be considered as strong an alliance as any. The party began at midday and lasted well into the night.

There were blinding lights inside the luxurious hotel. Big names from various industries gathered in the room, which could easily accommodate thousands of guests. Several journalists huddled on the platform, pushing each other to get close to the platform so they could hear the news before anyone else.

A few days ago, the news of the marriage between the Mu and Zhou families, including their love story, was revealed to the public without notice. However, almost as soon as it was revealed to the public, their previous romantic love story had caught the attention of the general public – the love between prince and princess, both romantic and aesthetically pleasing. As soon as the news broke, it immediately caused a sensation in the city’s media.

And today, media representatives lucky enough to receive invitation letters turned to the guests in the hall to take photos and cover the event. These are the big characters who rarely attend such gatherings, which was even more sensational than the celebrity news! The red carpet stretched from the entrance to the stage in front of the hotel.

For the moment, the room was full of people. Mr. and Mrs. Mu were seated at the table facing the corridor with big smiles on their faces. They were both dressed in red.

“Please stop there, sir!”

As soon as she’d paid the bill, Michelle Wang opened the door and hurried out. When she opened the hotel door, she looked very nervous. It seemed that the hotel’s splendid decor was making her a little uncomfortable.

“Let’s give a warm welcome to the bride and groom!” announced the wedding host.

At that moment, Michelle Wang instantly drowned in applause. It was so overwhelming that her heart was pounding in her chest. It was so loud that I could still hear his heart beating despite being inside this crowded place.

He followed the direction from which the host’s voice came, to see two people standing on the stage, holding hands. Their bright smiles seemed a monstrosity to him! Her heart clenched in the blink of an eye.

The hand holding the bag began to tremble slightly. And intense anger melted deep in his heart. With that, he pushed aside the people blocking his path and ran towards the stage.

While everyone was immersed in the animated atmosphere, a clear “slap” sound stunned everyone present!

With a dejected look on his face, he blurted out, “Wyn, you should be sorry for what you’ve done.”

Michelle? As he looked at the woman standing before him, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. He hadn’t expected to see her here at all.

Shouldn’t you still be abroad? Fists clenched, she grew angrier and angrier. Her head was burning and her eyes were about to water with anger.

“Michelle, what do you think you’re doing? Calm down! ”

Recognizing the person who had lost control of her emotions, Wyn Mu reached out and tried to take her away. However, Michelle Wang reached out and scratched him. Then, blood immediately appeared on Wyn Mu’s beautiful white face.

Caught completely off guard, Wyn Mu’s body stiffened in surprise. The man looked helplessly at the furious Michelle Wang. He knew full well that he was responsible for the change in her.

There was total chaos in the hallway, and guests began to chatter. “Michelle, I have no idea what’s going on between you and Wyn, but I hope you realize today that this is my wedding.”

It was Zoy Zhou speaking. As he stood in front of the two, he looked at the woman who had come out of nowhere and caused a scene at his wedding. Seeing her son hurt, Mrs. Mu raised her head to look at the security guards in the corner.

“Why are you still here? Get this woman out of here!” she thundered.

After receiving the order, the security guards rushed to the scene and immediately captured Michelle Wang. “Miss, you’ve caused quite a scene. You need to get out of here right now! “ “I wish you happiness!” He had a determined look on his face as he yelled. Not wanting to show everyone his weakness, he did his best to hold back the tears. After that, he managed to shake off the guards. Then she pulled her bag tighter and quickly left the hotel. As he watched her retreating figure, Wyn Mu squinted as he wore a sullen expression on his face. Remaining completely still, he continued to stare at her until he was finally out of sight. “Why? Why are you doing this to me? “ The moment Michelle stepped out of the hotel door, tears began to roll down her cheeks on the cold stone path. The street in front of the hotel was surrounded by colored lights. Feeling so down in the dumpster, she tripped and accidentally fell on a stone step as a black Porsche raced towards her. Just as she fell, the car came to an abrupt halt. Then handsome Scott Jiang quickly got out of the car. He looked at Michelle, but not before making sure his car was okay. With her head upside down, her long ponytail hung causally over her chest, so Scott Jiang really couldn’t get a good look at her. However, the way he saw it, this woman deliberately walked in front of his car to blackmail him! “Well, that’s so sloppy of you. Shouldn’t you have waited for a slower car to blackmail? If I hadn’t braked in time, you’d be dead! “ Scott Jiang gave her a fairly reasonable dressing down, thinking she was just a cunning, greedy opportunist. But Michelle didn’t say a word from start to finish. Passers-by looked at them one by one, leaving Scott Jiang so embarrassed. For this reason, he took out a large wad of cash from his wallet and threw it at her. Before leaving, he said, “This money should be enough for you to survive on for a month”. Without the wedding, he wouldn’t have driven so fast. As a result, he almost runs over a random woman. But she was lucky to avoid being hit. What he hadn’t noticed was how much the woman’s shoulders were shaking behind him, and how quickly the money had been drenched in tears. “I don’t want your bad money at all!” Just as Scott Jiang was about to enter the hotel, someone grabbed him by the wrist and stopped him cold. When he turned to look at the woman holding his wrist, such a fascinating face appeared before him. Then, a second later, the money came straight to his beautiful face. Eyebrows deeply arched, Scott glanced coldly at Michelle. Despite her height of around 160 centimeters, the woman standing before him had quite a shapely figure. Dressed in a simple white coat combined with jeans, she wasn’t even wearing any make-up. Her long hair was as thick as seaweed, making her look like an innocent, charming girl. Her eyes were bloodshot and puffy, showing signs that he’d cried before. His eyes seemed to feel a lot of pain. So much so that even if he lifted his head, he still couldn’t see the man’s face clearly. “Sir, do you think it’s just because you have money? You may be able to get material things when you spend money, but you can never use it to ask forgiveness. “ Since Michelle was no longer in the mood to argue with the man, she quickly turned to leave without saying anything else. However, her wrist wasn’t grabbed by him until moments later. Then Scott leaned closer to her and said softly, “Oh? So tell me, what must I do to obtain your forgiveness?” Hearing this, Michelle slapped him hard across the face, her eyes filling with tears. “That’s how I’ll forgive you.” Taken completely by surprise by the sudden slap, Scott felt so irritated. No one had ever laid a hand on him before in his life, let alone slapped him. What was Scott’s social position? He was the head of the Jiang Group in C City, and he could do whatever he wanted, but now this woman had slapped him … “You …” Unfortunately for him, before he could finish what he was trying to say, he saw that Michelle had already crouched down and squeezed his knees. Feeling so helpless, his tears flowed silently. The cool afternoon breeze blew against her long hair, making her even more miserable. For the first time in his life, Scott saw a woman who looked so depressed in the garbage and cried in front of him. Unsure of what to do, he slowly approached her and reached out, trying to help her up. To his surprise, Michelle suddenly rose from the ground and ran as fast as she could without looking back. Scott’s hand remained suspended in the air even long after she’d left before he finally pulled back. With his gaze fixed in the direction she was running, he could do nothing but walk back to the hotel after a while. With her body so tired, Michelle didn’t know how she’d managed to get home. The last thing he remembered was buying a bottle of wine and drinking it on the go. Best friend and boyfriend? This scene usually only happened on TV shows, but met the same fate. It left her looking so ridiculous and completely disgusted with herself. They had been together for three long years, but it turned out that their relationship was very fragile, she broke it off so easily because of someone who got in the way of their love. Now that he was married, what else could he mean to her? Was she now someone he knew? There was a time when she believed they would the rest of their lives. However, the love they shared couldn’t last that long. As she remembered the days when a pair of thick, warm hands ran their fingers through her hair, she let herself break down and weep as she wrapped herself in his thoughts. Things were too different now because he could no longer feel that warm comfort. He collapsed beside the door, his arms around her knees. By now, sadness and longing were written all over his face. There was a dim light in the hallway. And given how drunk she was, it made her face pale. The door sitting next to her suddenly opened. Olivia Wang, wearing an apron, left the garbage bag she was holding outside. As he was about to close the door, he noticed a figure huddled on the floor. In an instant, his eyes widened and he ran to Michelle and blurted out, “Michelle, what’s wrong? What happened to you?” She grabbed Michelle’s shoulders, only to discover that she no longer had the strength to stand and was extremely frail. It seemed that the slightest push would cause her to fall easily to the floor. The stench of alcohol reached her nose, mixed with a faint perfume. Olivia Wang couldn’t help but frown as she helped the drunk woman into the house. Although she was now lying on the soft, comfortable little bed, Michelle’s posture remained the same as when she’d been sitting by the door. As a bitter smile appeared on his face, he said, “They told me that whenever I felt bad, everything would be fine as long as I eliminated my problems.” But why? Why does it always hurt so much? Wyn, you big liar! She laughed at her own misery, but Olivia Wang, who had just entered with a basin, simply listened silently. When he gave Michelle a pitiful look, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, “My silly little girl, why are you doing this to yourself?” After leaving the sink on the chair right next to the bed, Olivia began patiently wiping Michelle’s tear-stained face, as well as her neck and arms with a damp towel. When she was about to leave, she touched the tousled hair on Michelle’s forehead, with such tenderness in her eyes. After wiping her face with the warm towel, Michelle began to feel much better and was able to sleep well through the night. When he woke up the next day, it was almost noon. When he lifted the blanket and was about to get up, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head. When Olivia heard the sound coming from the bedroom, she hurriedly opened the door to see how she was doing. In a very worried tone, she immediately asked, “Michelle, are you okay?” It wasn’t until Michelle looked around that she finally realized she was in her room. Then again, he couldn’t remember how he’d gotten home last night. “Mom, how did I get back?” She gripped Olivia’s hand tightly as she wore a surprised look on her face. Olivia Wang was the woman he loved most in his life, not only because she was his mother. As a single mother, Olivia had to suffer a lot to raise Michelle. Olivia said, “When I opened the door and threw out the trash, I saw you sitting drunk on the doorstep. At the time, I wondered why you suddenly came back, since you should be abroad. And you didn’t have any luggage with you. “ It had been a long time since they’d last met, and Michelle seemed to still see a few gray hairs on her mother’s head. At that moment, she finally couldn’t help but fall into her mother’s arms, then cried out in pain, “Mom, what should I do?” Olivia knew he didn’t have much ability to calm her now. All I could do was pat his back to make him feel better. “Cry, boy. Let all the unhappiness out. ” She whispered in her daughter’s ear. She’d known Wyn before. There were no secrets between mother and daughter. Michelle had brought the man along over winter break last year. But she hadn’t expected him to marry another woman in such a short time. When you first saw the report in the paper, you still couldn’t believe it. Can a rich man do what he wants? Can you deceive a woman’s love to your heart’s content? If the man reappeared, she swore she’d definitely teach her daughter a hard lesson. After a long time, when the girl in her arms stopped crying, Olivia told him to get some rest. Then he closed the door and turned. Hidden under the comforter, Michelle recalled her past with Wyn. After all, they once loved each other deeply. But when he saw Wyn, thinking of his deception and betrayal, her heart ached inexplicably. Right now, she didn’t even want to look at this man’s face, because it was wrong to her! I’d never thought he could dress so well. He said he was the son of a maid from a wealthy family, he was sent abroad on a recommendation. They were all lies. If he hadn’t seen the news on TV, he’d have been hiding deep in the valley all his life. “Wyn, when are you going to stop fooling me? He’s my stupid. I’m so stupid. Ever since we met, I’ve fallen into your trap, and I’ve fallen deeper and deeper. But now you’re asking me to come out and lick my wound. “ Her eyes were red and puffy, and the smile at the corner of her mouth was suddenly terrifying. “Michelle, here’s the porridge I cooked especially for you. You just drank last night, so you can’t eat raw food. “ When Olivia appeared before her daughter again, she was already holding a plate of porridge. With a quick glance at the bowl of rice porridge, Michelle shook her head with a helpless expression on her face. Olivia was nervous, “Mom made it for you. If you don’t drink it, it’ll be a waste of time and effort. “ Now she could understand her daughter’s feelings. Like her in the past, she only got better when she suffered from love for many years. The hardest thing for people in their lives was anxiety. “Mom, I want to go out and relax.” After a long moment, Michelle opened her mouth. After all, it was nice to go for a walk, Olivia promised. “But you’ve got to eat that porridge dish first.” After washing her face and rinsing her mouth, Michelle put on a regular dress. With a pair of white tarps on his feet, he quietly walked down the street outside the community. The hustle and bustle outside seemed to have vanished from his mind. Everywhere he went, he felt cold. She was always alone. She walked aimlessly. She knew the street so well that she wouldn’t get lost even if she closed her eyes. Big City C seemed to be covered in dark clouds, and the sky had lost its original blue. On his way, he couldn’t help crying. His eyes were still swollen and red, but now they were a little sore. She supported his body with her will and warned herself in her heart, “You must be strong, don’t fall in love!” It was the happiest and most pathetic ending to a relationship. Although someone has disappeared and may not appear in your life in the future, he or she stubbornly remained in your heart and became part of your memory, always reminding you of the mistake he or she had made earlier. In fact, Olivia kept a close eye on Michelle in case she took things too far. Even from a distance, he could still see Michelle shaking his shoulder. It would be a lie if she didn’t feel heartbroken. It wasn’t easy for her to meet a man she loved most in her life, but she didn’t expect him to marry another any time soon. What mattered most was that the woman was her best friend. “It’s all my fault. You’re a couple. You’re a perfect match. “Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked up at the sky. His eyes hurt so much he could barely open them. “Why are you crying again? I wasn’t as sad as you were when your father left. “ By this time, Olivia had already run to Michelle. He pulled the handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the tears from his daughter’s eyelids. “Mom, do you think I’d go blind if I kept crying like this?” He asked his mother with a smile, but everyone could see it wasn’t easy for her to get dressed. Olivia held his hand in her palm and scolded her lovingly, “silly, what are you talking about?” Seeing her mother reproach her with a pout, Michelle gave her a satisfied smile. She rested her head against her mother’s shoulder and slowly closed her eyes. The summer breeze gently blew the hem of her dress, and her long hair was scattered behind her. Olivia gently stroked her daughter’s long black hair and remembered how her daughter had looked before she went abroad. Back then, she’d had short hair and looked like a child. Unexpectedly, three years had passed and her daughter’s hair had grown so much. She smiled in relief, sitting on a park bench with her head resting on her daughter’s head. “Mommy, I want to eat clams.” “Good.” “Oh, and roasted chicken wings.” On the way home, as mother and daughter held hands, Michelle emphasized the dishes tonight. Hearing this, Olivia was very happy. After all, it was a good thing to eat. Then again, she would do her best to meet all her daughter’s requirements. Besides, her daughter was in such a good mood that she even wanted to cook. In fact, now this girl was her real daughter, who still loved to laugh about her childhood.
