Chapter 211: 214 That cleverness hits the nail on the head every time
"Isn’t this little sister Wang Yun?"
Lu Xiaoer was the first to speak. She wasn’t afraid of offending anyone, and immediately said, "Don’t you think you should go back and redo your makeup?"
Her words were meant entirely in good will, without any intention of disparaging Wang Yun.
But Wang Yun, having seen Lu Xiaoer walking with Song Lili, immediately took Lu Xiaoer’s comment about her makeup as a slight.
Wang Yun was not likely to take it in a good way.
"There’s no need, since I’m not aiming to become the President’s wife anyway. How could I compare to Sister Lili’s globally limited-edition gown, which outshines everyone else here?"
What Wang Yun implied was that Song Lili was intentionally vying to be the President’s wife.
Her voice was loud enough that the socialites nearby quickly scrutinized Song Lili, then snorted in disdain,
"Nobody knows where she came from, yet she dreams of becoming a phoenix..."
Lu Xiaoer couldn’t stand the insult, her expression changed, and she was about to retort when Song Lili held her back,
"Why are you doing this?"
"Didn’t you catch the sour tone in her words?"
"..."
"It’s because she’s jealous that I look better than her."
Song Lili chuckled and said to Lu Xiaoer.
Lu Xiaoer widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Song Lili... When had this girl become so astute?
The person sneering at Song Lili was none other than Miu Xiangling of the Miu Family. Hearing Song Lili’s words, she furrowed her brows and quickly asked Wang Yun,
"Who is this woman? She’s shameless!"
Walking over, Song Xiangqiao said to Miu Xiangling,
"She’s my sister."
Miu Xiangling was immediately taken aback, "You said she is who?"
"My stepfather’s biological daughter, Song Lili."
"So, she is Song Lili..."
"Xiangling, you should have met her before..."
"That was many years ago. Wasn’t she just a country bumpkin back then? How is it that now..."
She stopped herself as she spoke because undeniably, Song Lili, in her simple yet elegantly exquisite gown, unmistakably accentuated her graceful demeanor.
Her skin wasn’t that translucent white visible at first glance; compared to other socialites in the banquet hall, she appeared darker, yet it somehow made her stand out even more...
"She... actually looks quite the part."
Miu Xiangling muttered, which might count as a compliment to Song Lili...
Taking a deep breath, Song Xiangqiao watched that graceful figure entering deeper into the banquet hall, her eyes growing increasingly profound,
"Yes... quite the part indeed..."
"What’s wrong?"
Miu Xiangling looked at Song Xiangqiao, "Feeling threatened?"
"Xiangling, it might sound unbelievable to you, but this Song Lili before us and the Song Lili I knew six months ago are almost two different people."
"What do you mean? Where has she been these past six months?"
"It’s not really about these last six months, but rather those few days before she traveled abroad... just those few days... she became somewhat a stranger to me."
"Can you change your tone... it’s kind of creepy."
Miu Xiangling shuddered.
"The previous Song Lili was stubborn, naive, and smart, but she misused it, so I never worried. But now, especially these last few days that I’ve spent with her, she seems truly terrifying..."
Song Xiangqiao was speaking her mind,
"The intelligence that was once misplaced is now sharp and incisive."
"..."
"Xiangling, do me a favor..."
"...Go ahead."
