Everyone looked up to the sky and saw fireworks explode across it. Various colors lit up the night, making everything look like a dream.
After the fireworks formed all sorts of patterns, they formed a series of characters.
“Qingqing, happy birthday.”
“Congratulations. You are now an adult.”
“Qingqing, I like you.”
After the rest of the fireworks were done, the last thing that shot up was a heart-shaped pattern with two words in the middle, “Jun, Qiao”.
Next, countless lit up drones emerged.
They spun around in the sky and formed the same pattern as what the fireworks had just displayed.
Finally, as if they could sense it, they formed into the shape of two people. They took after the silhouettes of Jun Yexuan and Qiao Qing, it looked like those two were standing next to each other.
Then, minimal movements were made by the drones, and little by little, it started to look like those two were a couple.
Roars emerged from below.
“Oh my god, third young master Jun is so romantic!”
“When you meet a nice guy like him, why would you wait? Marry him!”
“If someone does this for me for my coming of age party, I would die happy!”
Everyone at the scene each took a piece of cake. As they ate cake, they watched the fireworks and drone show. They had many compliments and praises to offer.
As everyone celebrated Qiao Qing, the other main character of the coming of age party, Qiao Nian remained collapsed onto the ground and had been forgotten.
Everyone knew that today, Qiao Qing had completely turned around her reputation here in the City of Brisk. And Qiao Nian had become the new laughing stock.
Qiao Nian felt the joyous atmosphere from all around her but she felt as if her hands were freezing cold.
Her nails dug into the ground. She bled but she felt no pain.
She watched as the crowd tried to butter up to Qiao Qing. Her gaze was so vile it was like she had drunk poison.
As she watched, she felt a pinch on her chin as someone lifted it.
“Ah, pitiful one. You could’ve offended anyone, but you offended someone you couldn’t handle. Now your reputation is completely ruined.”
Qiao Nian turned her head and met the gaze of a jaundiced face.
Wrecking her brain, she remembered that he was the young master from what used to be the number one powerful family here, Gao Meng from the Gao family.
He spent his days bathing in drugs and alcohol and did nothing but toy with women. He caused trouble no matter where he went and asked his dad to clean up all his messes. Slowly, the Gao family lost their status and eventually fell out of the power rank in this city.
He himself turned into the black sheep that everyone in the city spat on.
Remembering this, she cautiously nudged backward, “What do you want?”
Gan Meng answered, “What are you scared of? I have no bad intentions. After what happened here today, no wealthy family here is going to want to marry you.”
“My family may be a thin camel now, but it’s still bigger than a horse. It’s still considered a prominent clan. How about you come with me for a few days. If I’m satisfied, I’ll consider letting you marry into my family.”
Qiao Nian’s stomach tossed and turned. She was delirious from fury.
“Is your brain full of sh!t? No matter how much people laugh at me, I’m still the second young miss of the Qiao family. Even if I cannot attend UCC, I can still go to a famous university. You toad want to have a taste of swan meat?!”
Gao Meng’s face dropped, “I’m giving you face but you are refusing it. Now that neither of your parents wants you, who will step out for you if I force myself onto you?”
Qiao Nian shuddered in fear. She thought of something, then said, “Qiao Qing is much prettier than me. If you want a woman, go find her!”
Gao Mei chuckled sarcastically, “You want me to die? I have no intention of going after a woman third young master Jun and Feng Heng are fighting over. Though you are not as impressive as her at anything, as long as I don’t mind, we are golden.”
