Chapter 895 - 888: Holding Back Anger
The party was held promptly at seven o’clock at the hotel under Bai Yiran’s name. Luna, as the aunt, went to great lengths; just the outfit Lu Zitong was wearing was worth five or six million. Lu Zitong probably never dreamed she would one day wear such an expensive dress and jewelry. She started to feel a bit dizzy; however, people like her, the more they experience the vanity brought by money and power, the more lost they become, imagining themselves to be extraordinarily important.
Old Mrs. Lu wore a fitting cheongsam, and satisfied, she looked at the layout of the party scene and the guests in attendance, once again deeply impressed by the wealthy aura of the Leng Family, valuing them even more in her heart.
Beside her, Lu Qian and Qiu Renhe both seemed indifferent, clearly not in high spirits, accompanying the old lady, but looking rather glum.
Old Mrs. Lu noticed this and said, "On such a good day, can’t you two stop sulking?"
Lu Qian glanced at Lu Zitong ahead, who was proudly mingling among the guests with Luna and Leng Liewei, and said gloomily, "Mom, as long as you and Zitong are happy, why bother with us?"
Old Mrs. Lu understood that Lu Qian was still holding a grudge about her not allowing Qiu Zi to attend the party, "Oh, don’t be so resentful! Zitong and Qiu Zi are different; Qiu Zi is good-looking with a good education, doesn’t worry about finding a partner. Zitong’s age is there, shouldn’t we cater to her first? You’re the aunt, why are you so petty?"
"Mom, you’re calling me petty?" Lu Qian looked at her mother, feeling chilled to the bone, "I think you’re the biased one! What’s wrong with Qiu Zi being good-looking and well-educated? She’s the same age as Bai Yiran, and look, Bai Yiran is already a mother of two, while Qiu Zi hasn’t even had a relationship yet! You always cater to Lu Zitong, so what if Qiu Zi attends just one party?"
Old Mrs. Lu didn’t want to argue with Lu Qian in such a setting and forcefully said, "I just won’t let her come, so what! Qiu Zi is a Qiu, let the Old Qiu Family worry about finding her a partner! I’ll just take care of our Lu Family’s girls, alright?"
This sentence from Old Mrs. Lu made Lu Qian’s eyes turn red immediately, "Mom! You’re too much!"
"I am too much! If you don’t like it, go back home, so you don’t bother me here!" Old Mrs. Lu was just annoyed at the sight of Lu Qian.
Hearing the old lady wanting to dismiss them, Qiu Renhe didn’t want to endure this humiliation and was about to leave but was pulled back by Lu Qian, who held her head high, eyes fixed on Lu Zitong ahead, "We won’t leave, I really want to see what kind of person Lu Zitong can find today!"
Some people think that putting on colorful clothes can turn them into a phoenix? Where in the world can you find such good fortune? That Lu Zitong has nothing but a penchant for stirring trouble and playing cute. Lu Qian really wants to see, even with the support of the Leng Family, if Lu Zitong can find someone good!
Lu Qian was feeling stifled inside; the more the old lady wanted her to leave, the more she refused to go.
Old Mrs. Lu glared at her, but said nothing more. In such a setting, arguing was indeed ungracious.
Lu Zitong walked alongside Leng Liewei and Luna, constantly surrounded by flattering words, greatly satisfying her vanity.
"Ah! Chairman Leng, madam, is this your niece?" a business partner approached with his son.
"Niece?" Luna was taken aback, probably someone outside spreading the news got it wrong, saying niece instead of niece’s daughter, she quickly replied with a smile, "No, this is my niece."
