I Want a Lifetime with You
Chapter 234

As both of them ended the dance, Fu Chengyan let go of his hand quickly. He then gave her a humble yet distant smile. Shi Nuan had also let go and nodded at him. She then started to walk away. When Yuan Jia saw that Shi Nuan was done, she waved at her excitedly. "Shi Nuan, over here!"

Shi Nuan bowed slightly and smiled before moving through the crowd to meet Yuan Jia.

Yuan Jia grabbed onto Shi Nuan's hand and said excitedly, "My goodness! I didn't expect you to be so lucky. How was it? Tell me about what you're feeling. How does it feel like to dance with Mr. Fu?"

"Um..." Shi Nuan couldn't hold off Yuan Jia's excitement. She pushed her back a little when Yuan Jia held onto her arm. She replied awkwardly, "It's just the same as usual. Mr. Fu is a good dancer. Um...that's all."

"That's it?" Yuan Jia yelled in surprise. She caught the attention of the people around them because she was too loud. Shi Nuan quickly covered Yuan Jia's mouth. "Shh, lower your voice. Don't you realize that I have become public enemy number one?" Shi Nuan said in frustration, "What else should I feel?"

"Well, didn't your heart beat faster?" Yuan Jia refused to believe her. That man was Fu Chengyan, the man with the most authority in the Fu clan and the most powerful person in Shengyuan - someone who everyone was envious of. "Are you for real? How is it possible that you don't feel anything?"

"The only feeling right now that I have is that if looks could kill, I would already be six feet under." Not everyone was as carefree as Yuan Jia.

Everyone knew who Fu Chengyan was, hence, they would definitely jump at the opportunity to dance with him. But she ended up being the one to dance with him instead. Isn't it just a matter of time that she became everyone else's target?

"Tsk Tsk, I don't know how much good you did in your past life to be able to get to dance with Mr. Fu. It's definitely worth all the angry glares."

Yuan Jia felt that Shi Nuan was overreacting to the hate she was getting. What can all those people do to her? "Nevertheless, that Song Jingyu looked like she wanted to eat you up. But, she is condescending to everyone and could eat anyone anyway. She treated Shi Wei... Wait, she is called Shi Wei while you are Shi Nuan. Both of you have the same surname, and it's definitely not a common one. Don't tell me you are related?"

Shi Nuan sighed. "Did you finally notice?"

She did not expect Yuan Jia to have realized it, but their surname was indeed very rare.

"That's right. Both of you...Shi Wei is a big star, and I just googled it. She's a daughter of the Shi family, that means you..."

"That's right. It's just as you thought - she's my elder sister!"

"Oh my goodness!" Yuan Jia yelled in surprise before covering her mouth immediately. "I was just thinking to myself how coincidental this is. So are you both really siblings?" "Let's not talk about this today." Shi Nuan patted Yuan Jia on her shoulder. Yuan Jia had wanted to know more, but when she saw Shi Nuan's reluctance, she decided against it. The night began after the first dance. Mai Qi had arranged ample programs for tonight's event. One by one they started performing.

Other than performances, there was also a lucky draw. Although everyone was envious and jealous over the dance earlier, they were now even more excited about the prizes now. The interest in Shi Nuan and Fu Chengyan's dance waned as the night went on. However, there were two people who still couldn't let go - they were Shi Wei and Song Jingyu.

Shi Wei couldn't stand the fact that Shi Nuan got so lucky. How can someone so despicable have that much luck?

Shi Nuan was the one who was sacked from Fucheng and had fallen into many dangerous situations. She should have been the one to be assaulted. However, not only did she survive all those, she even got to work at Shengyuan Group.

Shengyuan Group was among the top companies in Jiang City; Fucheng couldn't even come close to Shengyuan. Although Shi Wei didn't want to admit it, it was the truth.

She grabbed and squeezed her bag tightly as her eyes started to turn red.

Soon after, it was Hai Na's turn to perform. Since she was new and used to be a dance trainee, she sang and danced energetically on stage. In a short while, she managed to capture everyone's attention. Below the stage, Bai Qing was chatting with her manager. They were discussing how to present their performance better. When she lifted her gaze, she saw Shi Wei glaring at someone.

When she followed Shi Wei's gaze, she was shocked to replace out that it was Shi Nuan.

Bai Qing recalled that Shi Nuan was the lady who had just danced with Fu Chengyan. She could only remember her because of that. When she saw Shi Wei's eyes, she couldn't help but smile to herself. She didn't expect Shi Wei to be jealous of an employee from Shengyuan. It could only mean that she was interested in Fu Chengyan.

"Bai Qing? Are you alright?" Bai Qing's manager saw her smiling to herself. "We were just talking about...what are you looking at?"

"Chen, do you know what Shi Wei's marital status is? Didn't she say that she was married?"

"Yes. I know who her husband is, Fu Xicheng. He's the young owner of Fucheng. However, Fucheng is nothing compared to Shengyuan." Bai Qing smiled, "Oh?"

"That's true! Let's not talk about her anymore and get back on track. You will need to do your best later. I heard that St. Dee is looking for a local brand ambassador. We stand a good chance, so you have to work hard to secure the contract."

"St. Dee is looking for a brand ambassador?" Bai Qing raised her eyebrow. "Why didn't I hear about that?"

"You're always worried about your movies to think about these. Though, I have to warn you that Shi Wei is constantly looking for ways to take this contract away from you."

"Who does she think she is?" Bai Qing didn't even see her as a threat. "I've been in Xinhuang for a long time, so it's not going to be easy for anyone to get one over me. Don't worry about it!"

Shi Nuan felt that someone was watching her and turned to look around. When she realized that it was Bai Qing, she nodded at her and smiled. Her sudden reaction stunned Bai Qing. She didn't expect to be caught red-handed while staring, and yet, Shi Nuan reacted politely to her. Hence, Bai Qing nodded in return.

Shi Nuan then turned her attention to Shi Wei. With her lips curled up in a smirk, she looked at her with contempt.

At the same time, Shi Wei was also looking at Shi Nuan. She could feel Shi Nuan provoking her through her gaze. Unknowingly, her hand that was clenching her purse tightened as she glared fiercely back at her.

"Wei, stay calm. It's going to be your turn to perform soon."

Shi Wei's anger was slowly suppressed by Su Su's words. "I just can't stand it anymore. Did you know what that despicable Shi Nuan just did? She was mocking me. She actually dared to mock me." "You should be focusing on your performance right now. Don't forget that it will be your turn soon. Today's performance will determine if you get a contract as a brand ambassador. Don't you see how well- prepared Bai Qing is?"

After saying this, Su Su brought a glass of water for Shi Wei. "You shouldn't sweat the small stuff. Wei, you're a smart woman. I'm sure that you understand this."

Shi Wei finally kept her anger in check when she heard Su Su.

Song Jingyu was resting backstage as she kept thinking about what had happened. However, she was being watched by Fu Chengyan's bodyguards hence couldn't do anything. Meanwhile, Song Zhenyan stayed by her side. She was worried when she saw Song Jingyu's mood getting increasingly volatile.

Song Jingyu had many good qualities except for her strange behavior. It was the same issue that her mother had. And this was also one of the things that kept Song Zhenyan worried. Her initial idea was to keep Song Jingyu by her side and hoped that she could change her character. However, she had forgotten that Song Jingyu's character flaw was inherited, not taught. Hence, there was no way to cure her.

Song Jingyu's obsessiveness was getting out of hand, and her infatuation with Fu Chengyan had also gotten more serious. That was the reason why the Fu clan, including Fu Sheng and Fu Zhengyun, opposed the marriage of Fu Chengyan and Song Jingyu.

"Jingyu, please sit down and stop turning. You're making my head dizzy." Song Zhenyan waved at her. "Come here."

"Aunt Song." Song Jingyu stomped her feet in frustration. "What do you think I should do? She... Did Yan do it on purpose today? How is it possible that he didn't know Shi Nuan resembled Shen Qianan? Besides..." Song Jingyu bit her lip. "Yan calls her into the office very often. His office."

"What did you say?" Song Zhenyan grabbed Song Jingyu's hand in shock. She looked at Song Jingyu with disbelief. "Are you saying that Yan already knew Shi Nuan? Which means he knew that she looked like Shen Qianan even before this?"

"Well, duh!" Song Jingyu was filled with hatred. She didn't expect Shi Nuan to look the same as Shen Qianan.

Besides, she found it strange that Fu Chengyan often called Shi Nuan into his office. Although she had not seen Shi Nuan before, she always felt that her back view looked awfully familiar. Now she finally knew the reason why. It was because Shi Nuan looked the same as Shen Qianan. "Aunt Song, do you think Yan..."

"That's impossible. Even if they look alike, they are still different people. Besides, don't forget how Shen Qianan left Yan and Jiang City. What does Yan hate the most in his whole life? If not for that, he would have forgiven me a long time ago. He no longer has any feelings for Shen Qianan and won't have any for Shi Nuan too."

"But Aunt Song, I don't like Shi Nuan. I really despise her." Just the thought that both of them look alike drove Song Jingyu mad. "Aunt Song, you have to get rid of her."

"I'll think of a way to do that. No matter what, we won't let her stay!"
