Chapter 496: Chapter 496_1 Chapter 496: Chapter 496_1 “Lady Lan is looking exceptionally beautiful today.” The heir of the Li Group extended his hand with a smile. Li Chen was standing in front of Qiao Lang. The young master of Li Group appeared no older than thirty, extraordinarily young and handso.
“Thank you, Mr. Li.”
Several noble heiresses were chard by Li Chen’s deanor. Being a young and handso CEO had beco rather common in those tis.
Li Chen’s gaze landed on Lan Lan, standing next to him. There was a flash of admiration in his eyes. “Miss Lan, you truly live up to the rumors. Your temperant and appearance are beyond exceptional.”
Lan Lan, in her youthful pri, blushed slightly at the praises from such an attractive man.
“Mr. Li, you flatter .”
Qiao Lang watched Lady Lan’s skillful social navigation at the entrance with a cold laugh. They had always been archrivals, and it had been many years since their last eting.
“Oh, isn’t this Lady Lan? It’s been a while indeed.”
In an instant, Qiao Lang’s presence beca stronger. The cold laughter lingering on her lips, the disdainful glint in her eyes, and her condescending manner exerted an oppressive and intimidating air.
Lady Lan just looked slightly taken aback then resud her smiling face: “It’s Mrs. Wang. You look even younger and more beautiful than before.”
An Yuqian detested her sister-in-law. In fact, she had loathed everyone in the Qiao family back then, even harbored hatred. If it weren’t for a certain reason, she would never have married Qiao Junzhen.
She and Lan Xinhan were childhood sweethearts and deeply in love. Hadn’t it been for their family’s impending bankruptcy, she wouldn’t have been forced into marriage by her father.
She was once the apple of every eye, pursued by so many wealthy young n.
The people who obliterated her romance, forced her to part from her love, she would harbor resentnt against them for the rest of her life. At this mont, An Yuqian failed to realize that she was innocent, but so was everyone else. She was forced by her parents, but she was the one who ultimately agreed.
Yet, An Yuqian always blad others, channeling all her resentnt toward the Qiao family and her husband.
“None can match your elegance, Lady Lan. Busy playing the good stepmother in S Country, managing your husband well, and occasionally posting affectionate pictures with your stepdaughter on social dia. You’re indeed leading a comfortable life.”
Qiao Lang was determined to needle Lady Lan today. Arms crossed, she watched An Yuqian with a condescending smile that was full of mockery.
“Mrs. Wang, please co inside. Your scoffing at the entrance seems to be out of place with the reputation of your distinguished Qiao family.” Although Lan Lan did not particularly like her stepmother, she felt choked by Qiao Lang’s arrogance. What was so great about belonging to the Qiao family?
Dad said that one day we will replace the Qiao family!
An Yuqian didn’t expect Lan Lan to lose her composure like this. Her eyebrows furrowed in displeasure. She was just about to scold Lan Lan and try to soothe Qiao Lang when the eldest daughter of the Qiao family launched a cold attack.
“Shouldn’t Miss Lan Lan weigh her own worth first? Let’s not even talk about the vast difference in class and status between the Qiao and Lan families. What right does a junior like you have to talk to like this? Don’t get carried away just because a few people have paid you complints.”
