"Daddy, I really don't have any evil intentions and I don't intend to make trouble. I just want to have a look. I just want to see if it's Mr Chu..."
Li Xiao-Hong's voice broke and her tears poured down her face.
Her voice trembled as she tried to explain to Li Lu-Bin.
Li Lu-Bin got Li Yuan and her mother into the car, then sighed, "Xiao-Hong, I know, Daddy knows. But you really can't go for the dinner tonight."
"But why? Do you also feel that I'm embarrassing? You can tell them that I'm your assistant, you don't have to say that I'm your daughter. Let me tag along? I can just look from the side too.”
For some reason, Li Xiao-Hong just had this feeling.
She just felt that she might be able to see Ye Fan again at Great China Building.
This could be the last time she would meet
Ye Fan.
She was happy to just see him once.
"You silly girl! Xiao-Hong, why are you still so stubborn? Do you really think that country bumpkin has become the king of Yanjing? Do you really think that punk is the one inviting you to this dinner at Great China Building? Stop dreaming! That punk is already in trouble himself, so how could he treat you to dinner? And at Great China Building?! Besides, even if he really became the king of Yanjing, do you think he would remember you? He would have forgotten you and gone looking for some wealthy family's daughter by now."
"On top of that, tonight's dinner has nothing to do with that punk. It's a dinner organized by your sister's boyfriend! And he's invited your sister. As for you, just be good and stay home. The car is full anyway. I'll bring some food back for you tonight.”
With that, Li Lu-Bin ignored his bewitched daughter and got into the car.
Vroom...the engine started up and the car left.
Li Lu-Bin brought Li Yuan and Sun Li-Ping towards the dinner venue.
They left that pitiful looking girl to wallow in her sorrows.
The glimmer of hope in her eyes instantly faded.
Perhaps she had been too hopeful.
Just like what her father said, even if Ye Fan really became the king of Yanjing, that had nothing to do with her.
She was as lowly as dust, so how could Mr Chu even think of her.
She was just Cinderella without any transformation. Even if she met the prince, she wouldn't become his princess.
Perhaps that was the difference between reality and fairytales.
Li Xiao-Hong's eyes were teary as she looked at the vast land before her.
She felt that the world was all dark.
Her life had no more color in it.
Just when Li Xiao-Hong was about to go back in, a luxury car stopped next to her.
The driver got out and asked Li Xiao-Hong politely, "Hello, is this the Li house?"
"Could you let Miss Li Xiao-Hong know that Mr Chu asked me to come and pick her up for dinner?”
What?
Li Xiao-Hong was rooted to the ground.
Her eyes were filled with shock and trembling.
"Are you saying that you...you're here to pick me?” asked Li Xiao-Hong.
This happiness had come a little too suddenly!
This turn of events came too quickly and Li Xiao-Hong suddenly felt that life was like a dream.
