"Thud."

"Pang."

The sound of crashes was heard which got the attention of people around.

"What the hell?" A man in a navy blue suit seemed furious at a girl as a bunch of wine glasses fell on him.

Unlike other guests, she was wearing simple demine jeans and a white top.

The servant was carefully serving the guests but who would have known that the girl would flip the tray on the man as he was passing by.

The servant was frightened but luckily, the man did not seem to be angry at him.

"You did this on purpose. See how I teach you a lesson, you b*tch!" The man cursed her and was about to hit her.

Lu Xuelon and Shu Han-You's faces had turned ugly as they saw the girl.

'What is she doing here?' This thought came in their mother-daughter pair.

Shu Han-You immediately walked over. "Xiao Zui, what happened?"

The man was Shu Han-You's nephew, Shu Zui.

"Aunty Shu, this b*tch threw wine on me. Look how she treats guests." Shu Zui badmouthed the girl.

But the girl did not stay silent. "If you hadn't blocked my path, you wouldn't be in this state."

"I was just trying to be friendly with you, seeing you alone. It was you who didn't know how to appreciate my kindness." Shu Zui retorted.

"Kindness?" The girl scoffed. " Every girl present here knows how friendly you are, Young Master Shu."

"Enough, Lu Lan!" Shu Han-You snapped.

Shu Zui was present as the representative of the Shu Family here and this b*tch clearly looked down on him which meant she looked down on the Shu Family.

Just what did she think of herself? 

"Apologize immediately!" Shu Han-You said to Lu Lan.

"Why would I apologize to him? It was his fault." Lu Lan asked back. She knew Shu Han-You did not like her because she was adopted in the Lu Family but it did not mean that she would do everything as Shu Han-You said.

"You dare to go against my word!?" Shu Han-You slapped her instantly.

The slap was strong enough to leave marks of palm and it echoed in the living room.

But it was not enough. Shu Zui took a tray from the nearby table and threw it on Lu Lan.

The glasses shattered and left the mark on her face along with wine.

Blood mixed with wine, not to forget the make of palm making her look hideous.

Everything happened so suddenly that Lu Lan did not have enough time to react on time and save herself.

The party seemed to be boring to some guests earlier.

Now that a good show was happening, they did not want to let it end soon.

"Look how ugly she is looking." Someone commented and everyone laughed at her.

Lu Lan was already in pain and now hearing everyone laughing at her, she felt humiliated.

But it was not enough.

"Is she not the girl who was adopted by Elder Lu?" One of the guests whispered but still everyone could hear it.

"Yeah. I heard about it. She is actually the daughter of an employee of Lu Corporation. After the death of her parents, none of her relatives wanted to keep her." Another guest fired up.

"Look at her arrogance. She is even arguing with Madam Lu. No wonder no one wanted to take her."

Shu Han-You and Shu Zui did not need to do anything after that because these guests did their work.

It was a deep scar in her heart when she noticed that no one wanted to take care of her after her parents died.

She felt unwanted, especially after the Lu family adopted her. Now, the same words hurt her.

Initially, Lu Lan did not want to be a part of this party knowing how much the Lu Family hated her but the butler said that Elder Lu would be happy to see her.

But look at her.

The words of guests were like needles piercing her body and not to forget the fact, she was injured.

No matter how much she tried to stay strong, her heart sank seeing the hatred and disdainful stares.

She just wanted to run far away, where no one knew her and could hurt her.

'Thud.'

However, the things she thought did not seem to be happening anytime soon because as she ran, she bumped into someone near the door.

Lu Lan was about to fall but a secure pair of arms saved her.

Lu Lan's eyes were moist and her condition was miserable.

Moreover, she was going to fall. She felt a sudden urge to cry as tears rushed up in her eyes.

Luckily, she was saved and the pain she had expected did not come but she was still sad that she did not hear the man saying. "Miss, are you alright?". She pushed the man away and ran away.

Initially, Si Li frowned upon being bumped into. After all, girls were looking for a moment to bump into him and acting pitiful afterward.

But he saw tears falling from the girl's eyes and her miserable condition which was out of his expectation.

Everyone gasped seeing the audacity of Liu Juan.

Lu Xuelon was smiling until now but soon her face turned ashen.

This b*tch!

She wanted to rip her apart. How dare she push Si Li disrespectfully?

"Xiao Li..." Madam Si walked forward while Lu Lan had run out.

Noticing Si Li present, the gossip mongers shut their mouths instantly so as to not leave a  bad impression on him.

Lu Xuelon and Shu Han-You instantly changed their expression as they began walking towards Si Li.

It was their honor that Si Li came to their party. As a part, it was the Lu Family's duty to welcome Si Li.

The daughter-mother pair immediately greeted him before anyone did.

"Master Si."

"Brother Li."

"Who is she?" Si Li asked Madam Si while ignoring the daughter-mother pair.

He was here for Elder Lu, not for these bees.

Lu Xuelon was displeased upon hearing that Si Li was interested in that orphan Lu Lan. Lu Lan was nothing compared to her so why was Si Li paying attention to her? 

"She is-" Madam Si said but...

"She is no one, just an orphan." Lu Xuelon interrupted Madam Si's words and said in between.

Si Li frowned at her words. He had heard that Elder Lu had adopted a daughter of his employee. 

Everyone thought that it was a generous act of Elder Lu but Si Li was not like everyone. He knew the girl was not just an orphan.

"Xiao Li, you are here." At that moment, Elder Lu came out in the living room with Elder Su.

Both the elders were happy to see him.

"I came on behalf of Mo Jiang. Elder Lu, please accept this gift." Si Li walked up to Elder Lu, ignoring the mother-daughter pair but it did not stop them from following after him.

Si Li left the party soon after. He did not like this social gathering, especially when an annoying bee like Lu Xuelon continued to pester him like he was honey.

Truth to be told, he was for her.

It did not mean that he could not throw her away but she was the granddaughter of Elder Lu. Elder Lu was a dear friend of Elder Si. So he endured her until she did not cross his bottom line.

Moreover, the rumour which the pair of mother and daughter was spreading, so it was hard to say that Si Li's patience limit would not break.

Soon, Si Li's entourage left the Lu Mansion, but his eyes caught the sight of the same girl who was standing beside the butler in the garden.

Her face was clean now. Marks were still there but it did not affect her beauty.

A fair and innocent fair, her twinkling eyes were black and huge up to the size of a gr.a.p.e. Her lips were pink and rosy.

She looked pitiful, completely unlike the fact that she was the first girl who dared to push him away disrespectfully.

Which arose a spark in him to know more about her.

'What was her name?' Si Li thought to himself.

"I am sorry, Lu Lan. It was because of me that you went to the party. I should not have suggested it to you." The butler looked at her apologetically. 

"No, it was not your fault. I know I can't be a part of this family, whatever I might do. Tomorrow, I have an interview at the Si Corporation. If I get selected, I will shift away from here."

Instantly, her words fell on Si Li's ears as he walked towards his car.

'Si Corporation?'

His lips pulled up as he sat inside the car and his and his bodyguards' cars drove away.
