Mr.President, Let's Get a Divorce -

Chapter 212: 215 She became the center of attention
Miu Xiangling and Song Xiangqiao were cousins.
Miu Xiangling’s father, Miu Lejie, was the eldest of the Miu Family and Lerong’s elder brother.
He was also the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Miu Xiangling was aware of her cousin’s situation. Having a stepsister because her stepfather had a daughter from a previous marriage was never a good thing for her, who had entered the Song Family with her mother.
But Song Xiangqiao had never worried because she never regarded Song Lili with importance.
The fact that she spoke so earnestly today showed that she truly felt threatened.
Since Song Xiangqiao had spoken up, she had to help her cousin somehow.
...
Song Lili and Lu Xiaoer hardly had enough time to chat, let alone deal with others.
They made a round in the banquet hall, each grabbed a drink, and then sat down on a sofa in the rest area.
"From the moment you entered the room till you sat down, quite a number of people were watching you,"
Lu Xiaoer said indifferently.
Song Lili raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Jealous?"
Lu Xiaoer glanced at her, "Jealous of what? Jealous that so many people are talking trash about you?"
Song Lili just smiled.
In the room of at least a hundred people, some knew her, others did not, but whether they had met her or not, almost everyone knew that Vice Mayor Song of Anlin had an elder daughter.
As for what kind of person this elder daughter was...
Thanks to the Miu mother and daughter, even if she hadn’t attended, everyone already had an unwelcome image of her in their minds.
"She’s so ordinary... compared to the younger daughter Song Xiangqiao, she lacks atmosphere."
"Her college entrance exam scores weren’t good, and she went off to play immediately after the exams. What kind of future can such a person have..."
"Relying on her father being the vice mayor, she’s completely uneducated, tsk..."
"I heard this elder daughter is quite selfish. After Mayor Song remarried, she became contrary and just wouldn’t accept the new family."
"Isn’t her stepmother Lerong Miu? Mrs. Miu, such a graceful and intelligent woman, and she’s not happy to have her as a mother?"
"Right? I know Mrs. Miu personally, and she sincerely cares for her, but the girl just wouldn’t reciprocate, insisting on making Mrs. Miu and her father feel guilty for life."
"Even the Old President, just to give face to the Vice Mayor, invited such an unreasonable girl lacking in upbringing."
There were all sorts of comments, just idle talk, words following others. In such a gathering, predominantly of women, who were neither too close nor too distant, gossiping about someone was the quickest way to bond.
Little did they know that, as they casually gossiped and criticized, they themselves had become the most mediocre, uninteresting, and poorly brought-up of all.
"People nowadays don’t even bother to hide their malicious talk,"
Lu Xiaoer said with a cold face as she took a big gulp of her drink.
If not for Song Lili tightly grabbing her hand, she would have already charged out to tear those people’s mouths, not caring about the occasion.
What was so great about the Old President?
An old man with graying hair, unpleasant to say, but one foot in the grave, yet missing any sense of tranquility or peace, holding a banquet where not even the main character was present, just causing a scene.
She would rather be at home, sneaking on to her dad’s computer and playing games.
"The hardest thing to control is other people’s mouths."
Song Lili knew that being the center of attention was all thanks to Miu Xiangling and Song Xiangqiao’s doing; from one mouth to two, two to four, it didn’t take minutes before she became the center of everyone’s gossip.
