Chapter 169 The First Time To Show Up In Public
Aron found out that Mandy had sent out an invitation to Isla, but he did not make a fuss about it. He
wanted his grandpa as well as Becky to be complacent during this period as he needed time to find out
the real cause of his grandma's coma.
Rachel's birthday party was held in a five star hotel in the downtown area. The hotel was decorated in
complete luxury, perfect for such a celebrity like Rachel.
Rachel had arrived early and was waiting for Yvonne there.
Instead of nagging Charles to drive her to the party, Yvonne went alone. With three hours before the
birthday party, Yvonne called a taxi and went straight to the hotel.
After several years of struggling in show business, Rachel was able to snatch a wide range of contacts
and got acquainted to many different people. And these people expected at this party were the rich and
famous. It was an exclusive party and not everyone was in the guest list. It was strictly by invitation
only.
Yvonne showed her invitation to the bodyguards and then went straight to Rachel's dressing room.
Rachel was finally relieved to see Yvonne. "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Thank God! You
are finally here!"
"Miss Bai, you look so pretty today." Yvonne quickly gave her a compliment. Rachel was dressed in a
white gown adorned with many small pearls. Her long brown hair was curled and highlighted by a lily-
shaped hairpin. The crystal high heels showed off her slender legs. She looked like an enchanting rose
in full bloom.
Yvonne thought Rachel would be glad to hear such a compliment. However, Rachel just burst into a
sneer after hearing that.
It was Charles who bought the white dress for her, but Rachel still felt furious since her favorite dress
was taken away by Autumn. At the thought of this, resentment rose from her chest, making her
indignant towards Yvonne's ill-timed compliment. Smiling grimly, she said to Yvonne, "Well, your flattery
is not necessary. It doesn't work on me."
Yvonne felt awkward and embarrassed upon hearing this, but quickly recovered and said, "Fine. Miss
Bai, I have prepared everything you asked me to. And have you selected the best man for this job?"
Rachel grimaced and hesitated. The best person for this job was Sam, but he had gone abroad, so it
still remained a challenge.
Rachel kept sneering and replied, "You don't have to worry about it. Many famous stars will be present
today, so it will be natural for her to fall in love with one of them. I am sure Charles wouldn't suspect
anything."
"Okay. That sounds good.." Yvonne also laughed scornfully and was relieved. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Approaching the birthday party, Becky walked in with Aron hand in hand. She was dressed in a long
golden dress. The skirt which was made with smooth silk, had a wave-like shape and glittered in the
light. This well-made dress was perfect for her slender figure. Her hair was braided into a gorgeous and
complicated long plaque, mixed with golden silk which was quite eye-catching.
The media had gotten to know of their coming wedding, so as soon as they entered the banquet hall,
reporters and camera men all rushed and gathered around them. Under the colorful spotlights, Becky
shone with her quiet smile while Aron stood beside her without emotion. If not for the smile on Becky's
face, the reporters would suspect that something was going on between them.
"Try to smile, Aron. Don't be expressionless, okay?" Becky got close to Aron and then whispered to
him, but it gave the reporters an illusion that they were very intimate with each other, and they were
actually pretty convinced.
However, Aron just stared with great dissatisfaction and still remained cold faced.
"Mr. Gu and Miss Zhang, I heard that your wedding is coming soon. Is Miss Zhang pregnant?" Many
people thought that Becky was pregnant since their wedding was to be held in such short notice. The
reporters took advantage of Rachel's birthday event and asked them directly.
Becky clapped her hands over her mouth and couldn't help smiling. She then explained with a soft
voice. "No, I am not pregnant now. You know that we have been with each other for four years and it is
time for us to get married now. What's more, an accident occurred to Aron's grandma last week and
she is still in a coma. No one knows when she will wake up, but she has always wanted us to get
married, and we have to fulfill her wishes."
Becky acted in an elegant manner before the media and even lied without hesitation. "And as for the
wedding, we have been planning this for a long time, it is not being done in a hurry. I want it to be
perfect. After all, we can only have one wedding in our lifetime."
"I will go in first. Come over and find me later, " said Aron. He felt disgusted to hear those hypocritical
words, so he loosened Becky's hands and left.
Though Becky was displeased with his poor attitude, she had to pretend to be understanding. "Ok, I will
come to find you later." Becky called after him, trying very hard to be gentle.
After Aron left, the reporters continued to ask, "Miss Zhang, I heard that the injury of Mr. Gu's
grandmother has something to do with your cousin. Is that true?"
"I..." Becky knitted her brow and said ambiguously, "It was just an accident and no one wanted it to
happen. Though my cousin did something she shouldn't have done, I am not going to blame her, "
replied Becky.
"But it looks like Mr. Gu is not so cheerful about your wedding and it is said that there is a conflict
between the two of you. Is that true?"
The questions were getting more and more tricky. Becky's face started to wear some anger but she just
smiled and replied, "Of course it is not true. Aron is not a talkative person. Okay, let's wrap this up and
go inside. It is Rachel's birthday party so let's focus on that. Please do not pay us much attention
tonight. And I will send the wedding invitations soon. I hope you will all be there. Thanks a lot!"
"Well, then, congratulations, Miss Zhang."
Becky nodded with a smile and then turned to leave. But as she did, she looked angry.
Though Aron had agreed to have the wedding, he still remained indifferent to her. She could tell from
his demeanor that he didn't want to have anything to do with her.
Becky blamed Isla for all this. If it weren't for her, Aron would not treat her like this and she could live a
sweet life with him.
When Becky was about to get near Aron, the reporters all rushed over to someone at the door and
began to take photos. Becky was curious about what was happening there, so she also went to have a
look. As she turned, she saw a handsome man walking in with a beautiful woman, attracting the
attention of everyone.
The man was in a black suit and looked mysterious and profound while Autumn was standing beside
him quietly.
She also looked very pretty.
Her long black hair flowed like silk while her oval face looked so delicate and her eyes were cool. Her
thick eyelashes made her look like a doll. And perhaps every woman present would be envious of her
fair skin and small sharp nose. She wore a sapphire blue dress and smiled softly. It was enough to
make the men go crazy.
The reporters had gotten the news earlier that Charles would bring his wife there. And it was a huge
thing since his wife would have to meet Charles' ex-girlfriend, Rachel. So as soon as they showed up,
all of the reporters rushed over and surrounded them.
It was the first time for Autumn to show up before the public and she just smiled quietly. Her smile was
soft but it outshone everything, immediately.
It was no wonder that people would say that Charles, the prodigal son, had become good. Now it
turned out that it was because he had gotten married to such a beauty.
