It was not obvious when Cheng Xiao was sitting down. But when she was standing beside Cheng Ling, she paled in comparison with Cheng Ling.

Cheng Ling was taller than Cheng Xiao.

Moreover, she had fair skin, her limbs were slender, and her collarbones were prominent.

The dress also made Cheng Ling’s cold temperament even stand out more.

Cheng Xiao’s figure belonged to the skinny type. Wearing this white lace princess dress, she looked a little childish.

Moreover, Cheng Xiao was wearing make-up. Her face had a slight difference in color from her neck. This difference was even more eye-catching under the bright light.

If Cheng Xiao was said to be a princess in this dress, then Cheng Ling who stood beside her was like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

She definitely couldn’t stay in this place any longer. Cheng Ling dryly said “Happy Birthday” to Old Master Cheng before walking to a table in the corner.

Lu Qi also followed Cheng Ling over.

“Why did you speak up for me just now?”

Cheng Ling was referring to the incident where Lu Qi refuted the group of ladies.

“There’s no reason. They don’t even know what kind of person you are. They just maliciously speculate about you. I only told the truth, I didn’t speak for you.”

“Then do you think you know me?”

Cheng Ling did not know why she suddenly asked this question.

For so long, she had never asked others for their understanding of her. Naturally, she had never expected it.

However, it was not the first time that Lu Qi had spoken up for her. This inevitably caused her to feel some waves in her heart.

“I haven’t fully understood you yet, but I’m now on the way to understanding you.”

Lu Qi took a glass of juice and sat beside Cheng Ling. He handed the juice to her.

Cheng Ling didn’t take it.

“I want to drink wine tonight.”

Wine?

Lu Qi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

In his eyes, Cheng Ling had always been a very sober person. But now she initiated to drink wine.

Nevertheless, he still took a glass of wine with lower alcohol content from the tray of the waiter who passed by.

Cheng Ling took the glass, smelled it, and then took a sip.

It was not too bad, and there was a faint smell of fruit.

On the other side, Lu Xiu finally ended the topic and stood up.

“Old Master Cheng, Miss Cheng, you two accompany the guests. I’m going to find my brother to talk about some family matters.”

Since Lu Xiu had already said that it was a family matter, the two of them could not continue to persuade him to stay. And they could not follow him either. Thus they could only let Lu Xiu go.

After staying away from those men and women, Lu Xiu instantly felt that the air was much fresher.

He took a glass of red wine and walked to Cheng Ling’s table.

Perhaps it was because these two had just offended too many people, there were only the two of them at their table. No one was even around their table. It was very quiet.

“You two are the good ones. You’re just a shopkeeper here.”

“That’s not true. We’ve never been the shopkeeper, you are.”

Lu Qi smiled. 𝙛𝐫e𝚎wℯ𝗯𝒏𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄o𝚖

“But, Cheng Ling, why are these people so hostile to you? They keep mocking you.”

Cheng Ling had finished a glass of wine before she knew it. She put the empty glass on the table.

“If you want to blame someone, you will have all the reasons to do so. It was a mistake for me to be in the Cheng family. No matter how I do, they can always find fault.”

Although they did not manage to investigate anything about Cheng Ling’s biological parents, they knew that Cheng Ling had not been treated well since she came to the Cheng family.

Lu Xiu sighed and took another glass of wine from the waiter and handed it to Cheng Ling.

“Come! Cheers! Others can’t appreciate your goodness, we can.”

After hearing this, Cheng Ling smiled, took the glass of wine, and drank with the two of them.

Lu Qi couldn’t drink wine. Thus he was holding the glass of juice that Cheng Ling didn’t drink earlier.

Today was Old Master Cheng’s birthday party, and he thought it would be boring.

But tonight, Cheng Ling felt that there were people that believed in her goodness.

It was also a worthwhile night.

The three of them clinked glasses and smiled.

Cheng Xiao, who was still dealing with the compliments from those people, was clenching her fists.

She saw Lu Xiu and Lu Qi clinking glasses with Cheng Ling, and they even had a smile on their faces that they had never shown to her before.

Cheng Xiao was puzzled. Did these two people not have eyes?

Why did they go for Cheng Ling?!

She was obviously better. Her studies were better than Cheng Ling’s, and her family background was better than Cheng Ling’s.

Cheng Ling was just a country bumpkin who only knew how to farm and had no money.

Why on earth did they all favor Cheng Ling?
