In the hall, glasses were drinking among each other, the lights were flickering, and the swaying figures on the dance floor slowly passed by, and the glasses in everyone's hands were clinking with each other's.
Talking and laughing can be heard. The people here are of extremely high quality, and they don’t talk and laugh loudly to be considered as noise. The conversations are also orderly and polite, so the whole venue is not noisy and excessive.
In order to make every visiting guest very comfortable, the entire villa is open, with different seating areas set up from the lobby to the adjacent garden swimming pool.
Many young people chose to gather next to the swimming pool in the back, and the dresses they wore were more beautiful and exquisite than the others.
Wen Li and Su Jingjing chose a quiet place. From the glass door here, they could see the sea view in the distance. Didn't Li Li have a performance in the hall soon?
They just stayed here and waited. After watching Li Li's performance, everything was over.
It's almost time to leave.
"Sister Su." Xi Moqian returned to sit next to Su Jingjing after listening to her brother's instructions for a long time.
She let out a long sigh. It was really annoying every time her brother kept talking about it for a long time before letting go.
Su Jingjing also asked her own question, "Is that woman just now really your brother's girlfriend?"
After all, Xi Moran was also the head of the Xi family, so how could he have such bad taste and fall in love with such a classless woman?
Not impressive at all.
"No, sister Anna and we have known each other since childhood. She is the granddaughter of our housekeeper." Xi Moqian denied.
Also because they grew up together, Xi Moran, a man who doesn't like vulgarity, will be more tolerant of Anna.
"The housekeeper's granddaughter." Su Jingjing understood. This could explain why she called herself Xi Moran's girlfriend.
People probably don’t even bother to explain.
In the eyes of people like Xi Moran, some things don't require any explanation, but rather they give others face.
"It's so boring here. How about we go to the garden? It will probably take a while before we can come down." Xi Moqian suggested.
Several people happily agreed to her proposal, and Xi Moqian accompanied them to the back garden.
After Ning Muzhang saw a few people walking around, he passed the waiter and put the wine glass on it, picked up his steps and followed them out.
This place was originally on the seaside, and as far as the eye could see from the entire manor, there was the endless sea, with the sea water lapping at the coast. The moon above the sea tonight was extraordinarily round and bright.
Standing in the yard, you can see the sea view and enjoy the sea breeze. Although it is a bit cold this season, the best thing is that the weather today is not bad, and it is not too harsh on the body.
"How about it? The scenery here is not bad." Xi Moqian pointed to the sea in the distance and spoke to several people.
Looking up, you can see the large open-air terrace derived from the second floor. Above is a special open-air swimming pool, where you can swim while watching the sea view.
"The Li family really knows how to enjoy themselves. A lot of thought was put into the construction of the villa." Wen Li admired this place.
If it were her, and she could really retire to the countryside, she would also build a place like this.
No one would dislike living in comfort. Rural life is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil and salt, and beauty is only imaginable.
However, this kind of building truly retains the beauty.
"It's strange to hear praises from you." Su Jingjing laughed.
"Why can't I praise?" Wen Li asked back.
Su Jingjing chuckled. It wasn't that she couldn't do it, it was just that she was surprised.
Xi Moqian briefly introduced all the furnishings nearby to a few people, and wanted to follow them for a walk. Soon a servant came down from upstairs and called Xi Moqian away.
"Okay, there are only three of us left." Su Jingjing quietly lay on the fence and looked into the distance.
Xia Chen moved his tie impatiently, "Boss, I really don't like this kind of occasion."
Everyone who came in seemed to have come with a purpose, and every word they said had to be carefully considered to see if it was necessary.
"Hey, guys." A thin female voice came from behind.
Wen Li and Su Jingjing turned around and saw several young people standing with their chests crossed, near the edge of the swimming pool, looking at the three of them with dissatisfaction.
The girl in the middle is wearing a moon-white long dress. The color is the same as Wen Li's, but the style is different, but very similar.
The most important thing is that this girl's appearance and figure are not as good as Wen Li. A good dress looks good on her, but there is no harm if there is no comparison.
"So beautiful."
After the three people turned around, the faces of the people behind the girl were full of surprise.
The dissatisfaction on the face of the girl among them became more serious, "Which family are you from? Who are your parents?"
The target of these words was clearly aimed at Wen Li.
Su Jingjing persuaded her in a good voice, "Little girl, why do you greet other people's parents as soon as you open your mouth these days?"
"I'm asking you which company you belong to. I never like to match others' clothes. How dare you come out wearing the same dress as me." The girl said and stared at Wen Li.
That look was the same as if she wanted to eat someone alive.
Just as Xia Chen was about to step forward and drive these people away, Wen Li stopped him.
"Don't be impulsive. This is Li Li's place. We are not here to cause trouble." Wen Li spoke up and stopped Xia Chen's movements.
If Xia Chen threw all these people into the water, he would probably alarm those inside.
"My name is Nian Yue, and my father is the general manager of Nian Group. Which company do you belong to?" the girl said proudly.
Su Jingjing and Xia Chen looked at each other, "Nian? What does it do?"
"Have no idea."
The two raised their hands to poke Wen Li, "Do you know?"
Wen Li shook her head sincerely, "It's not a big company, I don't know it."
It is not a well-known company in country G. I am afraid that the reason why Nian family received the invitation was not because of the strength of their company.
When Nian Yue heard Wen Li's words, her face turned livid. A child from a poor family came out of nowhere and dared to say that her Nian family was unknown.
"Shut up, you are sour grapes. Tell me who you came in with. I know all the rich ladies from famous families in the Imperial Capital, but I have never seen you." Nian Yue snorted coldly.
Nian Yue received the invitation letter this time entirely because she and Li Li were high school classmates. The housekeeper of the Li family searched for Li Li's classmates, and everyone in the Imperial Capital also received the invitation letter.
For no other reason, Li Li likes to find a large group of friends and classmates to make fun for a day or two every year when she celebrates her birthday. Having a lively birthday is the most important thing.
And she was busy working around every day. She didn't read the list carefully every time the housekeeper gave her, and just agreed casually.
Didn't they just bring in some people who were not familiar with Li Li at all?
The people in front of them are all Li Li's high school classmates, and their family backgrounds are barely decent.
"You know the daughters of all the families in the Imperial Capital. Are you sure you didn't miss any?" Su Jingjing said amusedly.
This little girl is a little too confident.
She must have never heard the saying that there are mountains outside the mountains.
This confidence is overwhelming.
Nian Yue rolled her eyes and said very proudly, "That's natural. I've known them since I was a child. In the entire upper-class society of the Imperial Capital, I know exactly how many companies there are and how many children there are in the family."
Su Jingjing couldn't help but laugh out loud. This woman has a lot of free time.
"May I ask, where do you go to school now?" Wen Li stared at Nian Yue and asked.
Nian Yue held her head high and said, "I'm studying abroad now, in a Green League school, do you know?"
Su Jingjing couldn't help but laugh out loud. She corrected her while laughing, "That's Ivy."
The classmates behind Nian Yue also laughed.
Nian Yue's face was bruised, and she felt like she had lost all face.
"If you can spend time every day writing down companies and family members, why not spend more time reading books to fill your mind and make it feel empty." Wen Li sighed in a decent manner as she spoke.
Su Jingjing patted her shoulder, when did Wen Li become so bad.
"Don't change the subject. Until now, you haven't dared to tell me which family you are from. Could it be that the Li family didn't invite you at all?" Nian Yue said, her contemptuous gaze becoming more and more obvious.
With the looks of Wen Li and Su Jingjing, if they were not invited by the Li family, they could only have followed some man in.
There are many such temporary female companions at dinner parties, and most of them are just playthings of rich people.
As soon as Nian Yue said these words, the disdainful eyes of the classmates around her became more obvious.
"A woman who came in with her body, you still dare to wear the same dress as me, take it off right away!" Nian Yue pointed to the dress on Wen Li.
All the classmates knew Nian Yue well. Although she didn't look very good, she was extremely confident. What she hated most was when others matched hers.
If her clothes are really damaged, she will change them without hesitation. If she encounters someone with a poorer family background than hers, she will secretly and openly try to destroy their clothes.
What many students think is that this person is jealous that others dress better than her, that's why she acts so pretentious.
"You said I was brought in by a man, aren't you afraid of offending the person behind me?" Wen Li said calmly.
Nian Yue's still frantic movements stopped.
"Before you act arrogantly, you should think carefully. What position does the Nian family hold in the entire Imperial capital? How many other families can it compare to?"
With so many classmates watching, even if Nian Yue was really awakened, she couldn't back down.
"Either you take it off yourself, or I ask the bodyguard to take it off for you. You can choose one." Nian Yue made it clear that she would not let go.
Su Jingjing shook her head. A newborn calf is really not afraid of tigers.
Why is this wealthy girl in the Imperial Capital not thinking right?
On the second floor in the distance, you can clearly see the situation below from the fence beside the open-air swimming pool. The words spoken by several people are blown by the sea breeze, and they just fall on the ears of the people above.
"Miss Anna, do you want to help? After all, she is Miss Xi's friend." The assistant next to Anna said.
Anna held the fence with one hand, the cup in her hand moved slightly, and the scarlet liquid swayed in the cup.
She mocked at the corner of her lips and looked at the three people who were besieged below, "Any kind of person should be in a certain place. If a lowly person wants to forcefully climb to the top, she will only fall because of her own overestimation."
Who are those three people? There is no such people in the entire Imperial Capital.
She dared to be arrogant in front of her, and she didn't think carefully about how capable and capable she was.
People like this who come from humble backgrounds only want to climb high branches and climb to places they have no ability to go to.
Xi Moqian's simple temper makes her think that these people are scheming.
Always keep your eyes peeled before making friends.
"But if Miss Xi comes out later and sees this scene, I'm afraid it won't be good." The assistant reminded.
It was obvious that Miss Xi was still with those three people just now.
"Don't meddle in other people's business. Take a good look at yourself when you have some free time."
Nian Yue said that she was about to come over and take off her clothes. Wen Li gestured impatiently. Xia Chen stepped forward and stopped Nian Yue's hands with one hand, and threw the person out unceremoniously.
Seeing this, the group of classmates following her hurriedly took a step back, and some even hurriedly wanted to call security.
"Don't scream. If you disturb the people inside, think about what the Li family will do to you and your family?" Wen Li reminded slowly.
The female classmate who was about to shout to call for help shut her mouth.
The reason why these people are here is because they spent some time with Li Li and were her classmates for a while.
Li Li didn't have much affection for them. The occasion was so important today and they had already been given instructions at home when they went out.
If there is a commotion caused by them, it may affect the entire family.
"Let her sober up."
Nian Yue was quickly gagged and taken away. Xia Chen took out the handkerchief from his pocket neatly and dragged the person away very quickly.
"Do any of you still want to give it a try?" Wen Li glanced at the group of people opposite.
They quickly lowered their heads and assessed the situation. If this woman's backer was not strong enough, how could she dare to do such a thing.
"You should leave as well. After all, it's your classmate's birthday. If we continue to make trouble, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the consequences." Su Jingjing glanced at a few people and said.
After listening to their words, several classmates also dispersed.
"Wait, come here." Su Jingjing pointed to one of them.
The female classmate turned around, shook her body and walked slowly to the two of them, "Is...is there something wrong?"
"Who asked you to come here?" Su Jingjing asked very directly.
The female classmate looked at Wen Li, then at Su Jingjing, and shook her head, "There was a man who came over just now and told Nian Yue that the clothes she was wearing were the same as yours. Told us to come over and have a look. In addition, he said that it is the intention of the Li family to drive out all the people who have sneaked in."
As a result, they just came over and before they could say a few words, Nian Yue was taken out.
"We just came here, why are there people coming towards us?" Su Jingjing looked at Wen Li.
What's the matter?
Do they have a very unpleasant face?
"You don't have to worry about everything." Wen Li's words calmed Su Jingjing's mood.
When Xi Moqian came over, the people had already dispersed. She came over and took Su Jingjing's hand, "Let's go in, it's time to start."
Li Li's side was ready, and almost everyone was here.
Wen Li took out her cell phone and sent a message. Since someone rushed towards them, she couldn't leave without sending a message.
"What happened just now?" Xi Moqian looked at Wen Li curiously.
When she passed by just now, the people in the group looked at her in a way that seemed a little wrong.
"There are annoying flies flying around us. I just swatted them to death." Su Jingjing disagreed.
Xi Moqian was confused, "Why are there flies?"
"Don't worry, let's go in first." Su Jingjing patted her head.
In the farthest corner of the garden, the man who had seen everything just now used his fingers to pinch off the young sapling that had just grown beside him.
"Master?" Xing Bo called.
He was even more frightened when he heard the sound of branches breaking. Ever since the young master found out that the God of Calculations was a woman, he had obviously been in a bad mood for the past two days.
When he saw the person again, the anger in his eyes was not as strong as usual.
"Master, in fact, there is no need for you to argue with a helpless orphan. This would be too low of one's own worth." Xing Bo advised.
In fact, his original intention was very obvious. No matter how much Ning Muzhang hated Wen Li, even if the God of Calculation had no status in the Imperial Capital, there is still the young master behind her.
Even if Fu Yuxiu is an illegitimate son, he is still the young master recognized by the head of the family.
Don't offend easily.
"Since you know he is from a lowly background, you should stay where you should be. You will be punished if you jump over the rank at will." Ning Muzhang looked sideways at Xing Bo.
"You understand what I mean?"
Xingbo looked into the distance. Wen Li was the person protected by the young master. Of course, the young master knew that she couldn't be touched easily, but he just didn't want her to have an easy time.
.........
Su Jingjing and Wen Li followed Xi Moqian into the hall. The originally brightly lit hall was now dark, with only a single beam of strong light shining from the top of the spiral staircase.
Naturally, only bright light can attract people's attention in the darkness. Su Jingjing and Xi Moqian stood on either side of Wen Li, looking up at the strong light.
Everyone looked over under the bright light and saw Li Li slowly coming down the stairs wearing a white lace princess dress.
The strong light hit her body, and the halo of light made the girl even more beautiful. Her steps were steady, and every step of her high heels was very stable.
Going down the steps, Li Li looked at the eyes below, and her heart, which was still beating fast, became extraordinarily stable now.
Li Langhua stood in the middle of the first floor, watching with a smile as the girl coming upstairs approached her step by step.
She raised her hand and gently brushed the hair beside her granddaughter's ear, with a doting and loving gesture.
The servant on the side held a tray in his hand, with a light blue diamond necklace lying on the red velvet.
On the necklace are countless blue gemstones cut to the same size, and the pendant at the bottom is a blue gemstone larger than a pigeon egg.
Gemstones of this color are extremely rare, let alone a necklace like this.
"This necklace was passed down from the ancestors of my Li family. Every matriarch of the house has worn it. Now grandma is giving it to you. This is your twentieth birthday gift." Li Langhua took out the necklace.
The gems reflect bright light under the light. The most important thing about this is not its own value, but the meaning behind this necklace.
Li Li was quite shocked. This was an heirloom of the Li family, but grandma never said she would give the necklace to her.
But she was surprised, so Li Li lowered her head and let Li Langhua put the necklace on her.
"Old Mrs. Li is so willing. She gave all the necklaces passed down by the Li family to Li Li." Su Mengyi sighed.
Since it was worn by the head of the Li family, it would be good to leave it to the next head of the family.
But she chose to give it to Li Li, fearing that she had no intention of passing on the position of head of the family to Li Yuanzhi. This is a bit strange, as they are also granddaughters.
How could there be such a big difference between the eldest son and the second son? Not only did Li Yuanzhi himself give birth to a daughter, Li Ruobing, just like his eldest brother, but he was also still alive.
Moreover, there are rumors from the outside world that Li Ruobing is more like a lady and has the style of aristocratic family, while Li Li is a famous devil in the Imperial Capital.
Mrs. Li chose this granddaughter.
"Do you think Yun Xiao will really become the son-in-law of the Li family?" Su Mengyi looked at her husband.
Yun Sheng looked at the scene in front of him and said nothing.
Who can say clearly what will happen in the future.
It was unclear whether Yun Xiao and Li Li were destined to be together, but he knew one thing, if Li Langhua really passed the title of head of the Li family to Li Li.
I'm afraid there's going to be a lot of turmoil in this Imperial Capital.
Under the spotlight, Li Li accepted her grandma's gift. Countless pairs of eyes stared at her and sent her birthday wishes.
The gifts placed next to her were piled up into a small mountain, with packages of various shapes and sizes.
Li Langhua allowed her most beloved granddaughter to receive everyone's blessings on her twentieth birthday, and also allowed everyone to see her growth.
It's nothing more than being loved by thousands of people. At this moment, she is the most carefree little princess in the world.
"Grandma, thank you." Li Li stepped forward and hugged the old woman with both hands.
Li Langhua stroked her granddaughter's hair lovingly, "Good girl, grandma will put the best of everything in front of you."
This is her child who has been pampered like jewels and treasures. She has never suffered any grievances since she was a child. She has never been wronged before and will never be in the future.
She will definitely arrange the future path so that this child can live happily and carefree forever.
All the lights in the hall turned on again, and people around came forward to wish the little princess of the Li family a happy birthday.
Li Li finally broke free from the crowd and ran to Su Jingjing and Wen Li.
"Wen Li, Sister Su." Li Li came to the two of them and greeted them, "Thank you for coming."
"Happy birthday." Wen Li said her blessing.
Li Li chuckled, "Thank you."
Su Jingjing chatted with others and asked some common questions.
Soon Li Ruobing hurried to Li Li, pulled her over and whispered a few words. Li Li's face that was red just now turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Xi Moqian leaned over.
Li Li was so anxious that tears were about to fall.
"I...my harp is broken..."
