Chapter 74 – Li XinYun was soft-hearted; she didn’t want her falling for his tricks later on (2)

Fang JunRong had already produced a batch of this version and would be able to give some away as gifts tonight. Fang JunRong, who had been prepared for this moment, immediately promised them that she would provide them with a round of treatment. That made the other madams very happy, and they had an added sincerity when they congratulated Li XinYun. Some of them even took off their bracelets and gifted them to Li XinYun right then and there.

Once one of them had started, many others followed suit and gave her additional gifts. Anyone who wasn’t blind could tell that Fang JunRong wasn’t so close with her son as much anymore, but was definitely very doting to this daughter.

Ergo, Li XinYun, on top of her birthday presents, received a lot of additional gifts. She was happy from her additional monetary gain. Even though most of the bracelets and jewelries weren’t of the styles that she normally likes, they were valuable and nobody would turn that down.

Even though most of those who were there have no reason to offend Li XinYun, the way she was the center of the attention still rubbed a few of the ones her age the wrong way. Deng Lan was one of them. Dang Lan’s family wealth can rival that of Li XinYun’s; her family was in the snack business.

She also had an older brother at home, but unlike Li XinYun, her parents believed that boys were better than girls. Her older brother was treated like a king at home; whereas, she didn’t get too much attention. She may not have to worry about money but her parents were also reluctant to spend too much time on her. Her purse was an outdated one from two years ago. She was different from Li XinYun, who had everything that she wanted handed to her.

Deng Lan estimated that the birthday banquet itself cost over 5 million yuan. Meaning, Li XinYun’s 17-year-old birthday banquet was on the same scale as Li ShiZe when he turned 18. She and Li XinYun were both the younger daughter in the family, but their statuses were two extremes. On top of that, Deng Lan was somewhat interested in Li ShiZe. In their circle, Li ShiZe was considered a good catch. He was incredibly good looking and also not promiscuous like many other Second Generation Rich.

What was spent on Li XinYun was the equivalent of resources taken away from Li ShiZe. She had pleaded with her parents for a long time before they agreed to taking her to this banquet. She had wanted to have some facetime with Li ShiZe and leave a good impression with him, but he wasn’t there at all. All of the reasons combined made her like Li XinYun even less.

She walked over to Li XinYun with a wine glass in hand and asked casually, “How come I didn’t see your brother and your dad today?”

Li XinYun gave her a look and didn’t know who she was right away, but she replied politely, “Oh, I didn’t want to see them today.” Even though her mother didn’t want them to come, Li XinYun was still upset that they really didn’t come. Plus, she didn’t want others to gossip about her mother, so she thought she would take the blame herself. She was only 17 years old and the birthday girl today. She could afford to be a little bit capricious.

Deng Lan paused for a little bit then. Putting on the look of a very understanding older sister, she said, “Oh. But you are already 17 years old, you shouldn’t be so capricious anymore. You are a family after all and you will be able to resolve any misunderstandings you may have with them.”

Then she put on a sympathetic look and said, “Oh, I forgot. Your parents are divorced. No wonder.”

Remembering that made Deng Lan feel better. At least she has that over Li XinYun. Her parents didn’t exactly get along well, but at least they did not have a divorce. Aunty Fang’s temperament could be better.

Li XinYun asked bluntly, “No wonder why?”

She hated it when others were suggestive and intentionally vague.
