At the parking lot, the women hurriedly opened the gift bags, as they couldn’t wait to see what was in there.
And when familiar bottles greeted them, smiles blossomed on their faces as they found Diamond to be truly generous.
"I didn’t think that she would gift us the beauty cream!"
"Me neither. It’s too precious. I heard from my mother that it is getting hard to get it from Diamond recently."
"Indeed. The supply is difficult."
"I am glad that I got this. Hehe, if I show this to my mother, I am curious if she would part with that bag, she had been showing off lately!"
Upon hearing that, the women chuckled, finding the other’s words to be quite hilarious, though they understood what she was talking about.
Meanwhile, inside, Diamond was having a moment of her life without any restraints. She didn’t have anything to worry about.
On this day, another year had been added to her years, and she felt grateful for being alive and having such blessings bestowed on her.
When thinking about how dull her birthday was the previous year, she felt even more grateful to the heartless boss who forced her to take a leave.
If it wasn’t for his meticulous plan to get her fired at the end. She wouldn’t have left for the mountains. Without going there, she wouldn’t have climbed the mountain, found a dead bird, buried it and then got a chance to be the person she is today.
When thinking about that moment in her life, she could understand what was meant by, ’everything always happens for a reason.’
When fate locates a person, nothing would stop that from happening. It was happening to her as well.
Diamond was too energetic, so she was dancing. However, the others were not as energetic as she thought.
After dancing to a few songs, they decided to get a rest while keeping an eye on Diamond.
They didn’t dare leave her for a moment. Who knows what kind of mess she would cause if that happened?
Thankfully, as if there was a repulsive magnet stuck on her, the other dancers didn’t dare linger around closer to her. They gave her space and kept their distance.
Watching her dance, Wyatt had a smile on his face as he chatted with his four other best friends.
"I never thought that she was this energetic! How does she do it?" Wyatt’s friend, Brian, asked exasperatedly as he looked at Diamond dancing still.
Wyatt shook his head with a helpless smile but didn’t respond.
"But I am glad that she is approachable. Her fierceness on screen sometimes makes it look as if she is that hard to approach!" another friend named Chris echoed as he looked at Diamond with a smile.
Wyatt nodded when he heard that. The way she acts sometimes, especially when she is angry, makes people misunderstand. However, once you get to know her, you will understand that she is a darling.
Very sweet person to be friends with.
Meanwhile, on the other hand, Ruby, after having a few drinks, wasn’t feeling well. So, she urged the twins to go with her to the restroom to empty her bladder.
Once that was done, the three were having fun as they returned to the hall to have more drinks and dance, if possible.
"Do you think that Wyatt will become our brother-in-law?" Precious asked excitedly, as anticipation filled her eyes.
Ruby smiled as she listened to that and said, "Maybe. At the rate that they are going. It wouldn’t be surprising."
However, Patience couldn’t help but say, "I don’t think that we should get to a conclusion so fast. With sis, nothing is predictable. We might end up having a different brother-in-law after eyeing this one," a hint of worry in her tone.
She didn’t know why, but something just didn’t feel right. Was it the way that Wyatt looked at Diamond?
She just couldn’t pinpoint what exactly, but her intuition was telling her to not be overenthusiastic. It was easy to get a face slap.
When the two heard that, they didn’t take it to heart and started listing facts, which made them certain about their guesses.
When Patience heard all that, she couldn’t help but give up in the end. It was pointless to argue right now. They just needed to wait. Who knows what the future will bring?
As they approached the hall, something unexpected happened.
Ruby stood there with a frown on her face as she looked at the girl who had bumped into her.
One moment they were walking nicely and the next she was hurting.
She raised her head to look at the girl who had bumped into her.
Looking at her, she was dressed beautifully, and her skin was pretty good. At a glance, this person was definitely from a good family. So, what was wrong with her?
Why try to cause trouble for no apparent reason?
"I am sorry. I .... I didn’t look where I was going!" the girl started apologizing hastily while looking at Ruby with teary eyes.
If others hadn’t seen what happened, they would think that it was Ruby who had bumped into the other.
Her shoulder was aching from the impact, and yet the other was acting as if she was bullied.
What kind of white lotus act was this?
She couldn’t help but frown, feeling furious inside and wanting to vent out.
However, Patience patted her back, calming her down.
She remembered what Diamond always preached.
’If you can avoid trouble, then avoid it and don’t cause unnecessary conflicts.’
As someone who was in love with causing trouble with Precious. There were so many times when they used such tricks to start a conflict.
They even tried another tactic on Diamond when they first saw her. Of course, they were defeated by how gentle she was. She didn’t even give them a moment to engage in a conflict.
If they had argued back then, would they be now?
So rather than making an enemy for no reason, it was better to be calm.
Rather than fighting fire with fire, maybe dousing the fire with some water would work.
After calming Ruby, she looked at the girl, who was still acting as if she had been wronged and smiled at her faintly, saying, "It’s fine. Next time, just look where you are going. It’s easy to bump into others, after all."
"I _" Unfortunately, before the girl could defend herself, an unfamiliar male voice sounded, taking everyone by surprise.
"Indeed, just look where you are going! If I hadn’t seen what had happened, I would have thought that you were the one who was bumped into!" the man coldly spoke as he looked at the white lotus girl with an icy expression.
This sudden interjection startled Ruby and the twins, especially seeing how wronged the girl looked after that was said.
It was as if, with another word said, tears would gush out of her eyes like a waterfall at any second.
’Who was he?’ they couldn’t help but be curious, especially when that white-lotus girl looked like an aggrieved little wife.
