Xia Ling silently cursed him.
Even Wei Shaoyin saw that something was wrong. “Are you unhappy? Why?”
Xia Ling said lifelessly. “My clothes don’t look good.”
Wei Shaoyin said, “It’s quite beautiful. I even wanted to ask you where you got your dress from. It must definitely be from a rare master craftsman. It far exceeds the dresses of any of the other women here.”
Xia Ling sighed heavily. “It’s not as good as the one that Su Tang is wearing.”
Wei Shaoyin looked at her with a disdainful look. “This dress makes you look out of this world! Su Tang’s dress is only suitable for general occasions. It’s luxurious and elegant, but the smell of copper is too strong and the design sense is incomparable to yours. Have you lost all your taste?”
Xia Ling turned around and refused to talk to him.
However, Feng Kun got the hint and laughed. “Are you jealous? You can rest assured that since Li Lei sent you this dress, he has his reasons. How can he make you inferior to someone else?” Just now when he chatted with her, he already knew that her dress and Shaohui’s tuxedo were given by Li Lei.
Xia Ling glared at him. “You’re the one who is jealous!”
Feng Kun smiled like he was looking at his unreasonable sister.
Xiao Ling’s temperament seemed to have changed a lot from her past life, but in her bones, she was the same. She was pure and self-willed, and people could not help but indulge her bad temper.
Some girls were born to be spoiled.
Xia Ling threw a small tantrum and said, “I don’t want to see her.” It was not the time for Li Lei to announce Shaohui’s identity yet, and there were really ignorant banquet guests like Wei Shaoyin who guessed that this banquet was held to announce Li Lei and Su Tang’s marriage. Many people complimented Su Tang warmly.
Xia Ling did not want to bump into Su Tang at this time because she felt that her dress was not as outstanding.
Feng Kun said, “What are you afraid of? Use your ability to rule the stage.” As long as she was willing, her presence could overwhelm anyone in an instant. Even Wei Shaoyin was fully convinced of this.
Wei Shaoyin nodded vigorously at the side. It was rare that he agreed with Feng Kun.
However, Xia Ling said, “Troublesome.” She did not want to waste energy and use her skills to deal with a woman who had lost a long time ago.
Wei Shaoyin rolled his eyes. “Seriously.”
Feng Kun lightly laughed again as he saw how proud she was.
After drinking the champagne in her hand, she lifted her dress and went in the opposite direction of Su Tang. There was a garden over there which was quietly lit and a good place to hide during the banquet. She did not want to fight with Su Tang here and let Big Boss Li think that his charm was boundless.
After all, she was still resentful towards Li Lei.
At the other end of the banquet hall, Li Lei, who was socializing, sneezed.
Xia Ling’s dress fluttered as she walked out. After a few steps, she still could not hide and watched as Su Tang appeared from nowhere and blocked her way with her noble and dignified golden silk dress.
It really looked like the empress was stopping a concubine.
Xia Ling lamented in her heart.
On the surface, she appeared proud. “Su Tang?”
Many gossipers were already looking at them. In recent years, their love triangle with Li Lei was well known. However, these guessers had at least a relationship with either one of these two women. Could it be that the dust had finally settled?
The onlooking crowd was very interested.
Looking at Xia Ling, Su Tang’s lips curved into a smile. “Miss Ye, welcome to this banquet. Please forgive me for the poor reception.”
Sure enough, she acted like she was the hostess.
Xia Ling initially did not want to start any conflict with her since today was Shaohui’s big day and she was still mad at Li Lei. Why should she show that she was jealous? However, since her love rival was in front of her, she should put her in place and let her know that Xia Ling was not someone she could easily bully.
Xia Ling lamented in her heart for not being at ease and prepared herself for a fight.
She looked at Su Tang and smiled sweetly. “The reception isn’t poor. It’s very good here. I chose the location, and the bartender and the cook were specified by me, the menu was decided by me and even the guest list was selected by Li Lei and me. On the other hand, I’m sorry to trouble you Miss Su for helping me entertain my guests.”
When she said this sentence, the situation was reversed instantly.
Everyone who raised their ears to hear the gossip was astounded. The banquet location, drinks, and guests were all decided by Xia Ling?! If that was the case…
How close was her relationship with Li Lei?!
On the other hand, Su Tang turned into a servant who was only doing chores for her masters.
“Su Tang is only Second Young Master Li’s special assistant. Perhaps she is really only helping out.” Someone whispered.
“Rubbish. Have you seen the help wearing something more extravagant than the hostess?” Someone retorted.
The crowd started to discuss the dresses that the two women were wearing. Xia Ling was like a fluttering fairy while Su Tang was graceful and elegant. When it came to presence, Su Tang definitely stood out.
At once, some people started to side with Su Tang again.
After hearing Xia Ling’s words, Su Tang’s heart skipped a beat. Initially, she only knew that Li Lei was going to hold a banquet to announce something major, but she did not know that the banquet would be held jointly with Xia Ling or what would be announced. It seemed that, as she guessed, the big announcement was related to Xia Ling!
Could it be that Li Lei was really going to announce his marriage to Xia Ling?
Su Tang’s heartbeat was erratic. On the surface, she maintained her elegance. “Miss Ye really likes to tell jokes. Before the banquet, Old Master told me to greet the guests well, so that is my responsibility. Oh yes, he also wanted Xiao Rui to greet the young guests. Don’t worry. Shaohui will feel at home here.”
These two sentences implied that she and Li Rui were the true masters.
The guests were shaken again. That’s right! They almost forgot that Su Tang gave birth to Li Lei’s child. Their child was also here in the banquet. How could his child’s mother be a servant?
This banquet was probably meant to announce something related to Su Tang and Li Lei.
The guests secretly developed their own opinions and looked at Xia Ling with some sympathy. Poor Miss Ye. So what if she were young, beautiful, famous and rich? She still lost in the battle of love. They heard that she was not able to give birth anymore, so she had to adopt a child and her child was not related to the Li Family…
Everyone knew which woman Li Lei would choose without thinking.
Many people thought that the overall situation had been determined. A good-hearted lady could not bear to see Xia Ling degraded in public, so she went forward and said to her, “Miss Ye, I heard that the scenery in the garden is beautiful. Can you accompany me for a walk?”
