Chapter 1118: Chapter 1117: Why Am I Bothering With a Commoner?
Li Xingran’s voice seed particularly jarring in this peaceful atmosphere.
Due to her presence in the entertainnt industry, she always held herself in high regard and placed great importance on social status.
At her level, there were very few who could catch her eye.
Li Xingran believed that this birthday banquet was held for the elderly Ye family head, and the guests were either from the Ye family’s dical circle or from other prestigious families.
If you casually picked out anyone, who wasn’t soone eminently significant and trendously valuable in Jinjing City?
Anyway, a banquet like this was simply not a place where soone like Lu Mian should appear.
Everyone centered around Xiao Qimo and Lu Mian, turned to look at Li Xingran.
In their eyes, there was an expression of disdain.
Ye Jinwen, as the young master of the Ye family, was best suited to step up in such situations.
He walked directly up to Li Xingran and coldly reprimanded, “Miss Li Xingran, is it? Today is my grandfather’s birthday banquet. I hope you can respect all the guests coming to our ho.”
His words carried a tone of restraint.
If not for his grandfather, he truly would not want to say a word to this person.
He would have directly made a move.
Li Xingran looked at Ye Jinwen and, with a slight smile, changed her deanor.
“Young Master Ye, of course, I know it’s Mr. Ye’s birthday banquet. I just feel that soone like Lu Mian being here lowers the standard of this banquet. I’m only considering your best interests.”
“Well, thank you, truly.” Ye Jinwen retorted sarcastically, “This Lu Mian you speak of is my friend. You want to drive away, fine. Drive her away, you’re dreaming!”
Lu Mian being here honors our Ye family.
Him driving her away?
He hasn’t lost his mind!
This birthday banquet could go on without him, Ye Jinwen could leave, but driving away Lu Mian …
Be prepared for chaos!
Li Xingran nodded, “I understand you’re so protective of your friend. But…”
She slowly lifted her head, looking toward Lu Mian with a kind of disdain that ca from a sense of superiority.
“Lu Mian, what makes you think you deserve to stand here?”
Just as she finished speaking, another clear voice ca from behind the crowd.
“Because she’s my idol, how’s that?!”
Li Xingran was montarily stunned, then turned around to see her younger brother approaching with a gloomy expression.
That perfectly handso face now looked dark and about to ignite with anger.
Li Xingran rolled her eyes and grabbed Li Xinghan’s arm.
In private, she pinched him harshly.
“Li Xinghan, don’t forget your identity! You’re a mber of the Li family, how can you side with outsiders! Who do you think I’m doing this for? If not for you!”
The reason Li Xingran was giving Lu Mian a hard ti at the Ye family’s gate was not only to stand up for them but also to pressure Lu Mian.
Did Lu Mian think she was all that?
Wasn’t she the supposed genius composer who does what she pleases?
She wanted Lu Mian to see firsthand what reality was!
Mi Lu’s arrogance, Mi Lu’s talent, Mi Lu’s capriciousness were worth nothing in front of these prominent families!
If she didn’t comply, she’d live in the dust forever.
“Li Xinghan, I’m warning you! Don’t cause trouble for today, I have my plans!”
Li Xinghan shrugged it off, directly pulling his arm out of Li Xingran’s grip.
Recently, he’d been a bit downtrodden, not having done much with his long hair.
His eyes were slightly red from sleepless nights, looking sowhat pitifully at Lu Mian.
“Idol… I beg for forgiveness…”
His heart ached to the point of bleeding!
Why, why does it seem like soone’s always dragging him down!
This ti at the birthday banquet, he rarely saw Mi Lu appear in person. If he could use this eting to ease relations between them, wouldn’t that be great?
Yet Li Xingran!
His own sister, seed intent on ruining him!
Lu Mian and Xiao Qimo held hands, with serene expressions, acknowledging the “Third Squad Commander” title with a nod.
Xiao Qimo took a step forward, imdiately assuming the authoritative air of a master of the house, conveying to Li Xinghan: dare to have designs on my wife, and I’ll make sure you’re unable to think for the rest of your life.
Li Xinghan had no interest in contending for these trivial matters, so, after glancing at Xiao Qimo, he humbly lowered his head.
“Idol, please give another chance…”
“Li Xinghan!” Li Xingran gritted her teeth, keeping her voice low yet chiding him with restraint: “You are a Li family mber, and if you continue to favor others, I’ll report this to Mom and Dad when we get back!”
After speaking, Li Xingran looked up at Lu Mian and smiled.
“Mi Lu, don’t think that this will elevate your stature, right?”
Lu Mian irritably pressed her temples.
Third Squad’s sister, so noisy, she wanted to punch her.
Xiao Qimo’s face was equally somber, as the Xiao and Li families had never had any connection, yet he could surmise who this person was.
The small yet arrogant Li family.
His elegant eyes, tinged with a fierce glint, scanned across Li Xingran and Li Xinghan.
“A Li family mber, is it?”
“This is Master Mo of the Xiao family.” Li Xinghan reminded Li Xingran, “He’s Mi Lu’s fiancé.”
Li Xingran had long been aware of this. Though she hadn’t t Xiao Qimo before, now that she’d seen him, she was montarily captivated by his overwhelming presence.
After a pause, she didn’t dare et Xiao Qimo’s eyes.
However, since she’d already stepped forward today, if she didn’t give Lu Mian a hard ti, wouldn’t she, as a Li family mber, lose face entirely?
She smiled, shying away from direct confrontation with Xiao Qimo, and wisely chose to target Lu Mian.
“Mi Lu, it makes a difference to have a good man by your side, doesn’t it? But can you tell , what is your own status? Things that others give you will never truly be yours.”
Whoa!
Ye Jinwen laughed out loud: “This is it.”
Ya Ling couldn’t help but muse: “This person is incredibly bold, daring to question her brother Mian’s status.”
“Who told you her stuff isn’t her own?”
An elderly voice, loud and full of energy, rang out.
An old man wielding a fan walked over angrily, full of zest.
“Ignorant fool, do you think Lu Mian clings to folks like us?” Jing Pei scolded Li Xingran sternly, “Bah! Let tell you, it’s people like us who cling to Lu Mian! Do you think we’d cling to her for no reason? It’s because she has the ability!”
Sui Yuan stood beside Jing Pei, watching his grandfather, admiringly clenching his fist.
“Grandpa scolded her well!”
Jing Pei wasn’t satisfied yet, he continued: “What about the Li family? Do you really think your Li family is so powerful? If you continue to clash with Lu Mian, I’ll take Chixia Sect disciples and level your house for you!”
The old man’s temper was explosive, speaking his mind and imdiately scolding Li Xingran harshly right out of the gate.
Of course, only he dared to be so arrogant at Ye Zhongjing’s birthday banquet.
He was a senior, and he had the standing to do so.
Li Xingran didn’t expect that Lu Mian had connections with the Chixia Sect, and at that mont, her heart was filled with pent-up frustration.
She’d thought she’d grabbed hold of a soft target, but it turned out to be soone tough.
She imdiately shut her mouth and said to Leng Yao beside her: “Heh, forget it. Why should I bother with a commoner…”
A commoner?
