Mama's Princess is Daddy's Beloved

Mao Mao wanted to say something but cutting her chase short, Li Xue shook her head at her and turned to look at the couple of the night. Then giving a small soft chuckle of fun, she said, "I am sorry, I was just kidding. Anyway, CEO Zheng, Ms. Wen, a heartfelt congratulations to both of you!" 

While MaoMao retreated back. She already had two hard times before because of Li Xue. In no way she would be able to handle the third one. 

At the same time, the moment Zheng Wenting heard that voice coming to him, his eyes became more profound at her. But at the right moment, it also caught the appearance of Su Fai beside her. His presence disappointed him in some sense. But there was nothing he could do about it. 

While to his side Wen Sying's gaze turned hostile at Li Xue. She could already feel the profound gaze that Zheng Wenting must be holding in his eyes. A gaze that never belonged to her. But at the moment more than that gaze, something else pricked her and that was the whispers that she was hearing around. The whisper in which everyone was talking about Li Xue. 

"Whoa! Look at her." 

"She looks so pretty. More than what I have seen online" 

"Aish! Her dress is dazzling down the chandelier. Where do you think she got it from?" 

"She is domestically the face of Aurora Fashions. But that design doesn't seem like theirs. She must have got it from some other brand." 

"Who said before that elegant and sober fashion can't speak of money. She is definitely looking like the most lavishly dressed woman in her evening dress." 

"Do you know Mrs. Zheng wanted her to be their family's daughter-in-law? But it's a pity, they got Wen Sying instead. She just simply does not match the standards of such a big reputed family." 

"Yes, look at her way of dressing today and look at what Li Xue is wearing. Both are showing lavishness. But one looks like a swan while the other … huh!"

One after the other, people gasped. Their eyes weren't just leaving Li Xue for a moment. As for the Zheng couple who had been at the party and saw Li Xue entering, they couldn't sit still at their seats. Standing up, they walked their way to Li Xue as well. It has been quite a long since they have last seen her and they must say, the girl was still holding the same charms in her. Nothing changed in her, only if their son would have been wise enough to choose the right. 

"Li Xue, you are here." Looking at Li Xue, for a moment, Zheng Wenting was lost. But he was soon snapped back when felt the wrap on his arms turning tighter. Getting snapped, he greeted the girl first before turning to smile at Wen Sying. 

Li Xue also looked at him and smiled and then turned to Wen Sying to reply, "Of course, I needed to be here. After all, Ms. Wen has sent an official invitation in my name to my company. By not coming here, I can't put my company, manager, and CEO at a tough spot." She said before turning to look at Su Fai on her side. Only after she turned to look at him, other people around also came to notice him there. Otherwise, all were just lost in Li Xue. 

Su Fai could only smile at her words and shook his head internally. The girl was sharp enough to use her words at the right time. With just a few words, she has already decreased several questions of the media. Now they would have all understood that unlike Wen Sying has earlier presented their friendship, the three only have professional dealing. 

Or else, instead of sending a private invitation to her place, which friend would send the invitation to the company. 

And as expected, soon after Li Xue said, the people around started talking about it, while looking at Wen Sying with weird gazes. 

"She said it's Li Xue who is treating them as a stranger. But it seems like it's the other way round."

"Aish! Even if she has been arrogant. Doesn't she rightfully deserve to be? It's not unknown to anyone that once when she needed her friends the most, she was left alone. Even her own family has abandoned her. How could they not treat her well after she got proven innocent." 

"Wen Sying has been an absurd talker to call Li Xue to be arrogant. See, she has come to attend the party so well. Just by her gesture of attending the function, it's clear enough to say that even though dead friendship, she respects it. Otherwise, which woman would come to attend the engagement party of her best friend and ex-boyfriend who once betrayed her." 

"The girl has sustained such hardships yet, look at her mother, she has no love for her. She is here for Wen Sying and is tagging along with her all the time. Did she even birth Li Xue in the first place? I mean which mother could be this harsh with her own blood?" 

People started talking and their words not just pricked Wen Sying but also pierced Liu Hua and Li Sheng, who was not standing too far away. 

"Did you see that? This ugly witch still knows to play games with words. She has deliberately sweet-talked to make us hear all this. Her sl*tty ideas have yet not died down." Liu Hua suppressed her enraged voice so that it's just her husband who could hear her. 

Li Sheng felt his fist clenching as well but he was a lot better than losing his calmness like his wife. So, taking a deep breath, he said, "It's fine. People have ten things to talk about, just ignore them. They will talk today and then will forget tomorrow."

But from when an evil woman like Liu Hua started getting this simple and easy mind. Shaking her head, she expressed her denial. "How could I let them forget this easily? Whatever happens today, I will make sure that no one gets to forget it." She said as her eyes turned sharp, sending daggers to Li Xue.

"Has Mr. Hu already arrived at the party?" She asked and looking in some direction, the man nodded with a tinge of doubt. "Yes, he was the first one to arrive at the venue. He seems very excited about today. But Hua, are you sure you want to do this? Li Xue is still the daughter whom you gave birth to. You won't be able to change the fact even after you are dead. What if people come to know you behind all this? How will you live in this society then?" 

"Li Sheng, you better not remind me of my mistakes again and again. She was just my mistake. One mistake that ruined the whole of me." Liu Hua snapped and the man had nothing else to say. He could only pray that the plan goes accordingly. Or else the consequence of its backlashing would ruin them all. 

His eyes darted to look back at Mr.. Hu, who was having his drink with all fun while keeping his lascivious gaze at Li Xue from a distance.
