The evening of embarrassments

21 August, 2045

It was the day of Nangong Ru's birthday, Ouyang's father. Ouyang put his heart out for creating the perfect 50th birthday for his dad. Nangong inherited the wealth of his father which included the oldest, luxurious hotels, clubs, hospitals, schools and colleges. Nangong being a quite and clumsy man was innocent enough to bear the torture of his wife. Sawako, Nangong's wife, was herself a business typhoon, who owned the best textile industries, cotton industries and rubber industries in the country.

The Ru Mansion was filled with the upper class family of China , everyone was eagerly waiting for Nangong Ru . Sawako, on the other hand was in her private parlor with Jiun Wei and Lian Fei. She never bothered to attend any functions where Nangong was the centre of the attention.

Ouyang was waiting for his dad when his dad's car pulled up.

"Dad! you're finally here! everyone is waiting for you, even the Prime Minister came and the Royal family of Thailand came to celebrate your birthday. Where were you? "

"Ouyang, my dear kid, I am late because I went to bring this young lady with me"

Ouyang's face turned bright when he saw a beautiful woman getting out of the car. It was indeed Ouyang's girlfriend, Minata Yoon.

"Don't tell me Ouyang that you forgot to bring your girlfriend to my birthday !" said Nangong with a smile on his face.

"Ouyang, did you really forgot about me?" said Minata with an interrogating face.

"Ah! Minata I'm sorry, >_<, I was so busy with everything, I'm sorry."

Minata: It's okay, well, what are we standing here for! let's get inside everyone's waiting for uncle.

Ouyang nods.

As they entered the banquet hall, everyone crowded around Nangong to wish him and he was the most loved business man of the country, nobody dared to offend him , even the most hated people were thankful to him, the irony is that the only person who hated him was his own wife. Speaking of his wife, Sawako a fierce red-headed woman was in her private parlor where Jiun and Lian were coaxing her to destroy Nangong's life.

Lian : "Sawako, tell me, why are you still with him? You've wasted your entire life with that stupid scum. Isn't it enough already? "

Sawako : "Lian, you know the deal right, my mother agreed to leave all these luxury only because I married him, otherwise all this would've gone to my step-sister. You know I wouldn't have let that happen..."

Lian: "But Sawako, your mom died 15 years ago, why are you still with him?"

Sawako:"My mother clearly said in her will that if I divorce him because of my own petty reason then Nangong will inherit all this wealth. "

Jiun Wei was standing near the window, a fox he was! Never have there been a man so cunning. With a smirk on his face he said "what if...? we make it look like its his fault? Then you can divorce him without losing a penny and we could teach that arse a lesson?

"But how? " asked Lian.

"We could... "blahblahblah"...

With such a great interest Sawako and Lian listened to him. Then Sawako jumped out of her chair and with an evil smirk on her face said "Jiun, no wonder why you are the most successful lawyer of china... Lian let's start this mission... I'm gonna get changed"

Lian and Jiun nodded and Sawako went away to her room.

On the other side of the mansion:

Everyone was enjoying the party, the classical music was playing, the food was being cooked by the most talented chefs of France, Asia and Australia. Nangong was smiling like the brightest star on the sky.

"you look happy, Ouyang" said Minata.

"Indeed ,I'm very happy Minata, it's been a long time since I saw dad smile like that. He's working all day long and when he comes home mother makes it a hell for him . I can't blame mother either, it's the two donkeys who coax mother into doing everything. By the way, how's your dad's work? "

Minata replied "well, I almost forgot to tell you, they finished the time machine but everyone is afraid to do the experiment. Nobody's ready to risk their life"

Ouyang and Minata were over by the fountain. Ouyang helped Minata's dad in his research a lot, he donated a lots of money. And gathered the best scientists from all over the world to help him.

Ouyang said "well, why don't they hire someone? wouldn't that be helpful? "

"They're afraid that the volunteer would use the time machine for their own petty reasons and nobody wants to lose the time machine in the hands of such people"

Ouyang smiled and said "you're right. But it should be very soon that someone Vo-....... what the?! is that my mom? what's she doing in dad's party? she never comes at anything like this. Let's get inside Minata.

Ouyang and Minata rushed inside the banquet hall to see what will happen.

"Nangong, my dear, sorry to keep you waiting, I was confused about what to wear " Sawako leaned towards Nangong and said with a very innocent smile on her face...

Nangong stood there, surprised, the woman who made his life a hell and who never looked at him with such kind eyes was being nice to him.

"Mrs.Sawako! we never see you at such events, you're always abroad or busy with work, how come you're here today? "

Sawako answered "Can't I attend my own husband's birthday, Mr. Prime Minister? "

"oh! no! no! that's not what I meant, it's just a little surprising."

Sawako: " Well, well, are you all enjoying yourself? oh! and can I borrow Nangong for a sec?"

"He's all yours, haha"

Nangong was in daze, he never imagined such a thing would ever happen. Ouyang was amazed too. His mother hated his father so much that sometimes he doubted how he was born.

Sawako took Nangong to his office where a woman was sitting in his chair.

"What's happening? Why are you being like this? Did someone drugged you? " asked Nangong with a very confused face.

"oh! do shut up! I just took you here to discuss some business. This is my step-sister,"

"It's been ages since I saw you, Toshiba Hange!" shouted Nangong.

Toshiba was a very charming girl, tall, beautiful, a brunette with a very good sense of humor.

"Yes, its been ages, hasn't it! It feels like a century "

"Well, you two discuss the business, I'm going to the wine cellar to get some wine for us"

As Sawako was going to the wine cellar, she winked at Toshiba.

At the banquet hall:

"Minata, don't you think it's a little strange? "

Minata replied with an astonished face "a little you say? it's very strange, it's stranger than the stranger things. What's happening today!"

Ouyang "I wonder what's happening in dad's office! I'm pretty sure someone drugged mom"

Minata burst into tears of laughter and said "like any one could even speak to that woman, nonetheless it's strange"

"Minata, I've got a bad feeling about this"

Then suddenly a scream was heard. Everyone was astonished. They all rushed to Nangong's office to see what's happening.

They found Sawako standing in the door, in tears, and inside ,Toshiba's clothes were ripped and she was lying in the table with Nangong on top.

Sawako shouted "you dirty asshole, how could you do that? she is my sister! I thought you changed but you're still the same animal! First the housemaid and now my sister! have you no shame! "

Suddenly the atmosphere changed in a flash, everyone was gossiping among themselves, everyone looked at Nangong with disgust.

Nangong cried " This is not what it looks like, and what the hell are you talking about? What housemaid? Ladies and gentlemen, please don't misunderstand,i can explain."

"What housemaid, you say? " Jiun said and Jiun and Lian entered in the room with the housemaid .Everyone was speechless, Ouyang made his way through and stood their, frozen .

"This is the housemaid you raped! don't you remember? how you behaved like an animal and ripped her poor soul. " said Jiun Wei

Nangong: Why are you doing this, Jiun? what are you talking about? I never raped anyone! This is all a big misunderstanding. Prime Minister, Princess Yan (of Thailand), The Royal family of Thailand are here, why are you doing this now!? Sawako! why?"
