Chapter 501: Chapter 501_1 Chapter 501: Chapter 501_1 “Lanlan.” Yong Xiaoman’s expression softened signficantly upon seeing her daughter. In the midst of their conversation, Mrs. Lin approached with a smile, “Miss Lan really does grow more elegant as ti passes, truly the daughter of the Lan family.”
“Hello, Aunt Lin.”
Lan Lan greeted sweetly, her gaze abruptly landing on Qiao Xiaren, who was not far from Mrs. Lin. Xiaren and Wang Yi were standing just aside, their expressions cold and detached, like indifferent bystanders.
“Oh, isn’t this Miss Qiao?” Noticing her among the crowd, Lan Lan approached, a hint of sour mockery in her tone as the n nearby dared only to glance her way without approaching further. She was itching for a confrontation.
Qiao Xiaren remained silent, rely giving her a fleeting glance. Xiaren vaguely rembered this woman as her stepmother’s daughter.
Lan Lan, directly ignored: …
Seeing her daughter slighted by such a person, Yong Xiaoman was suddenly reminded of An Yuqian and felt a wave of discomfort.
“Miss Qiao is nothing more than an actor from the entertainnt industry, yet she shows such arrogance. I’ve always disapproved of those lowly people from that industry mingling and tarnishing our circle of elites.” Yong Xiaoman adjusted the shawl on her shoulder, a mocking chill flashing across her lips.
At her dismissive snort, a triumphant smile appeared on Lan Lan’s face.
Xiaren’s deep, dark eyes t hers for an instant. The bone-chilling feeling was as if her heart had been savagely lanced, causing Yong Xiaoman’s heart to quiver.
These kinds of people place great importance on their social status and naturally look down their noses at others.
“Madam, do you have anything to do with ? Don’t set yourself up like so high and mighty princess. You look down on my career, but I look down on you, a parasite who relies on her husband for survival, with no sense of self! Don’t think everyone has to suck up to you. You have nothing to be smug about and I suggest you stop putting on airs.”
For the first ti in her life, she was actually frightened by a girl who wasn’t even twenty.
She broke out in a cold sweat at the edge of her forehead. Even when she was first summoned by the Queen of C Country, she had never felt this kind of palpable oppression.
Lan Lan’s face instantly grimaced. Who did Qiao Xiaren think she was? How dare she offend a mber of the Lan Family?
Just as she was about to retort, she noticed that her father was already heading towards the stage, seemingly about to give a speech. The violin music ceased and a German gentleman stood up, bowing towards Si Limo.
The music changed yet again, filling the hall with the rhythm of a waltz.
Many started to dance gracefully on the dance floor. The young ladies of respectable families were poised outwardly, but eagerly hoped for the company of a dance partner within.
Especially for Si Limo. Many eyes were fixated on him. Unfortunately, Si Limo chose to ignore everyone from the start to finish.
In another corner, the n in the venue were all staring fixatedly at Qiao Xiaren alone. Despite Xiaren’s aloof deanor, there was still a large number of daring individuals.
Si Limo noticed a swarm of flies rushing towards Qiao Xiaren and his eyebrows furrowed slightly. He quickly strolled there. Upon his arrival, everyone automatically cleared a path.
“May I have this dance?”
Qiao Xiaren looked up at him. Could she refuse?
Under his gentlemanly gesture of extending his right hand, Qiao Xiaren placed her hand in his. With a tight clasp and a subtle tug from him, Qiao Xiaren spun around and elegantly ended up in his embrace.
