29 29. Her old classmates

Walking on the red carpet she became the focus for everyone with her beautiful dress matched with his cufflinks every reporter had focused on them.

"Did you notice Mr. Mo wearing blue diamond cufflinks the same color as Miss Li?"

"Task I think tomorrow this news will be going to explode."

"They not say Mr. Mo waiting for her secret lover."

"It's the human heart changed too quickly. Maybe Mr. Mo also changed."

She understood where their words were coming from, but she never realized the impact they had upon someone until she was the one to experience these throat-cutting words. in her past life.

Paying no mind to the loud chatter, Li Huan walked into the banquet. His hand around her waist became everyone's focus with their entry. When the door was pushed open, a hundred pairs of eyes trailed to her. Instantly, the lively chatter died into low mummers. The music was still playing, and the people were still mingling, but many eyes were trained on her.

Seeing their reaction Mo Xuanyi creased his brows. "What happened, there is something wrong?" his deep and firm voice was not loud but the pressure in it was too much for them to handle.

Listening to his voice they all reacted as if nothing happened just now. Walking towards the inner hall, they walked towards the Grandpa Li "Grandpa" her sweet voice sound melodious.

Grandpa Li stood there chatting with his old friends, listening to her voice he turned around. Seeing her beautiful face his cold face turned into a smiling. "My dear child looks too pretty." his eyes melt gently. Looking at her today he remembered her daughter. "Come let me introduce you." his shocked voice turned normal quickly. Still, she noticed.

Walking towards him she snaked her hands around his arm to soothe his emotions. "Hello" while greeting others she bowed lightly.

Feeling her care Li Huijing laughed out loud, then introduced her and Mo Xuanyi to his friends. "This is my only granddaughter Li Huan and Huan'er These are my friends when I was in the military we were in the same unit. you meet them when you were little. They especially came for your birthday today." turning his face towards Mo Xuanyi. " This is my family's boy Mo Xuanyi, Sousou's founder. You both call them Grandpa like me. "

"Thank you, everyone, for specially coming for my birthday." she bowed to thank them. her manners were perfect not too humble not too overbearing.

Seeing her they appreciate Li Huijin's this granddaughter, Who looked way mature for her age.

One of the grandpas squinted his eyebrows looking at him "You looked familiar, did you have any connection with Mo's family in Beijing."

Grandpa Li's expression changed, before he replied he butted in, laughing he said. "Old man what are you talking about on this occasion. Let me give you a toast."

"No, I never went there only listened about them," he replied with a polite smile. There was nothing but Li Huan felt something was amiss.

Knowing that He was the youngest businessman in Shanghai who founded Sousou they became interested and talked to him more about business.

They were all elites in the business world, their aura, temperament, and personalities way too difficult for the younger generation to handle. Sone of them try to show their might in front of him but Mo Xuanyi acted naturally, making their admiration for him.

Although Li Huan lived two lives at this moment she still felt pressured.

Sensing her discomfort he blocked her behind him and whispered " If you are feeling bored go and enjoy yourself."

Grateful to him she mouthed thank you and slipped away lightly.

Seeing her fleeing figure he smile turned around and continued to talk with them.

....

Standing near the dessert table Li Huan chose dessert for herself when she heard the loud clatter of their heels someone approached her. Turning around she saw it was her junior school friends before transfer. She sighed, pinching the spot between her brows.

She knew Uncle Mo invited them because of her but there are still some annoying girls she didn't want to see.

It was too early for the drama to ensue! For goodness sake, she had just arrived less than twenty minutes ago and people were already picking a fight with her?! Did these people have nothing better to do with their life?

"Hmph, if it isn't the famous girl on the internet whom everyone was talking to last days. I'm surprised you have the guts to throw a grand party after all that has happened." A snarky voice said.

Li Huan turned her face and to no surprise, it was her former class friend. They were closed at that time. She nearly laughed at this betrayal.

Long Qiuyu stood like a dignified woman with her arms crossed. She was surrounded by a posse of a beautiful girl that was low and middle-ranked socialites.

Li Huan's eyes trailed over the haughty and confident girl beside Long Qiuyu. She nearly chuckled. These were the same girl that Long Qiuyu used to have a bad mouth when she was alone with Li Huan.

"It seems all of the humiliation on the internet has made you dumb. You should answer when someone talks to you." One girl chided in, quick to support Long Qiuyu.

Li Huan stared at them, picking up a glass of juice from a nearby waiter. swirling her cup of juice like it was wine. Her smile was sweet, but her gaze was aloof and cold, she changed from a beautiful girl into a queen too quickly. it shocked them to see her aura.

Seeing their reaction she just sneered. She dealt with these type of thing many times, these girl needs to learn a lot.

In her past life, She was forever unbothered by their words. Growing up surrounded by beautiful roses filled with thorns had toughened her skin. Besides, she used to be the one throwing the insults. One who throws dirt should be prepared for a dirt bath.

"You are shameless, bullying Ni Jiao to be famous. And then released her video. You are too disgusting." Another girl added on, clearly not knowing her words.

Li Huan bulling Ni Jiao? Wasn't it the other way around?

When a light giggle came from Li Huan, the girl was taken aback, but quickly composed themselves.

"See, Qiuyu. She has gone insane." A different woman whispered to Long Qiuyu who was observing Li Huan's nonchalant face. It felt as if she changed completely not seeing each other after some time. 'Did the incident hit her hard.' she thought.

"Is that the best you could do?" Li Huan stood up straighter and placed her drink down. These girls were so silly. Did they think their words were powerful and prickly? What a joke.

"What did you just say?!" The first girl who spoke up nearly lost her temper.

Li Huan raised an amused brow, her lips tilting into a mischievous smirk. A small poke and she was already angered? How pathetic.

"My, oh my, Long Qiuyu. I didn't think you would surround yourself with these useless girls who'd scream at the first insult." Li Huan laughed, clearly pointing out the fact that Long Qiuyu had a low class to make friends with these women.

"You-"

"What about me? Save it. Don't provoke someone you can't afford to offend." Li Huan's eyes turned sharp and dark, revealing a certain clarity. She dropped the smile on her face which made her look deathly serious and took a step forward. Scared Long Qiuyu step back. Seeing her frightened Li Huan chuckled.

She was right, this girl couldn't afford her. She was the Li Princess as her Grandpa, Li Huijing as her backings, she could easily squash these women like flies. Not even bother to Uncle Mo.

Long Qiuyu stiffened at the warning. Her friends exchanged wary and curious glances. Seeing the hesitation and self-doubt in her friends, Long Qiuyu felt incredibly embarrassed.

Long Qiuyu was supposed to show off how much she has grown throughout the years. She wanted to show who the leader was. She used to leech off of Li Huan's fame and was bullied for doing that in past. Now, she wanted to look like Li Huan was the one that used to leech off of her, even though everyone knew that was a lie.

Long Qiuyu racked her brain to think of something to say. But another girl came in.

"Hey Li Huan you are here, I was searching for you all over. By the way Happy Birthday. " Yi Chuhua seeing Li Huan talking to her old classmates ran towards her. She always isolated herself from others, wanting her to be her puppet. Acting intimate she dropped her hand in hers. "Who are these girls?" acting confused she looked up to her for an introduction.

Li Huan felt disgusting she had always done this to associate with high-class girls and back-mouthed her to gain their appraisal. What a good friend, she sneered.
