Chapter 121: They Are Cabbage

Another woman who stood beside Li Lian looked at the man quizzically, not knowing who it was and immediately sought her friend's help. "Who is he? Someone important?"

The other woman nudged with her elbow and whispered as though the person they were talking about could hear their words. "Don't you watch the news or read the magazine? That man is the CEO of Wang Cooperation, also the best man in the city next to ours!"

"Oh my!" She turned her face with sloping eyebrows. "That charming man is the CEO of Wang cooperation?!"

"Not only that, but he is also the only heir of Wang Family." The friend added and had her friend looking back at her like a shocked squirrel. "That Wang Family?!" She covered her mouth after a gasp left her lips.

"Yes, but well he has no interest at all with women. Rumors had it that he only have someone in his heart."

"Who?" Her friend questioned again. "Ms. Lin of Golden Tree company."

Her friend had a baffled expression shaking her head as Ms. Lin is a woman that she could never win from. "How disappointing."

"I agree." Her friend covered her mouth with her hand.

Not soon after Wang Li Lei walked to be greeted by some people who wanted to make a connection with him, the girl's eyes squinted at the glaring light that came off from the entrance once again. Li Jun Wei walked beside Li Lian, lending his hand for her to wrap on. When it came for her to shine, Li Lian wrapped all her nervousness in a big box, throwing it aside so that no one would notice the prickling nervousness on her heart.

And to her reply, no one could spot the agitated crooked corner on her smile. But as expected the man beside her could spot it easily. "Are you still nervous?"

"It would be lying if I'm not." She replied and saw him chuckling a little. "But you have never been nervous in the stage."

"That is different.' Li Lian replied with a hushed tone and he continued. "No, believe me, it doesn't have that much different than when you are on stage. Just think of them as cabbage."

Li Lian burst into a laugh at his example, she looked up with her tension easing unknowingly. "You have good advice." Her words came out but she felt that her heart calmed down wasn't because of his advice, it was because of his voice did her nervousness calmed down. "Where did you hear that from?"

"I hear it from someone before." Li Jun Wei replied and have the girl continue on laughing at the cabbage that he mentioned. Stepping one last staircase, she glanced at Li Jun Wei who had stuck out his elbow for her to lean on. "I'll be with you." she gazed at his eyes that seemed to be saying those words as a vow and took his kindness to reply.

"I'll also be with you."

The party was held at a very large mansion. Although it wasn't as large as Li Jun Wei's mansion, it couldn't be looked down on as they are clearly Li Family's members. It was shown starting from the expensive cars that Li Lian could hardly see before. Grouped by the colors, it was worth more than Millions of dollars.

Antique furniture made out of mostly jades to give a sense of aesthetic wasn't any normal or second-handed one. She could see one that was made from a famous furniture Master all over China to only be placed next to the outside entrance. She doubted that the family would use an item of counterfeit jade furniture from the cars that she saw before and presume that it wasn't the most expensive one as they had placed it out in the entrance where it could have been broken from a light push.

Li Lian walked over the main entrance and quickly felt eyes glaring at her followed by a silence that soon broke into chatter. It wasn't a question why people are staring at her at the moment, and she had expected this to happen when she agreed to come with Li Jun Wei. But surely the number of eyes hawking on her had exceeded every of her initial estimation.

A young man seeing Li Jun Wei's figure standing beside a beautiful woman ran up to the second floor, running over to the vacant hallway over to the parlor where most of Li's Family Members were. Sitting on the main seats were Li Huian, Li Jun Wei's grandmother, and Li Bing, Li Jun Wei's grandfather.

The young man burst into the room opening the door to the room before the servant could do it for him. With such a loud wham on the silent room that was filled with glittering elegance, he quickly attained every attention from his family. The first one who was quick to reprimand him for his behavior was his second aunt, Li Rin Zu. "Mind your manner, A-Long!" she warned.

Li Long Hua couldn't care less about his second aunt whose hobby was to nit-pick at him and the other cousins and walked over to his grandparents. "Grandma, grandpa."

Li Huian looked at him and took his hand that he offered gently. "What is it, A-Long?"

"Grandmother! You have to go outside! Cousin Jun Wei has arrived!" Li Long Hua pointed at the door. Hearing those explosive words, Li Bing stood up from his seat in haste which Li Long Hua helped him from falling out of standing in a hurry. But his hand was quickly rejected by his grandfather who had exited the room. Instead of dwelling on his grandfather, Li Hong Hua helped his grandmother over to exit the room.

The aunts and uncles behind him looked at each other in a puzzle. "Jun Wei came?" The second uncle spoke and chided by his wife who agreed. "I thought he wasn't going to come?"

An elegant woman in  Qiaopao flapped his wide round fan over her eyes to stand up from the red couch. "There's no point on waiting here. Let's go."

As though they were all the time waiting for her words, the rest of them rose up to meet Li Jun Wei and the person they were most curious about, his wife.

On the way, Li Long Hua felt a tap on his hand and turned to his grandmother to have her raising a question. "Did Jun Wei came here with someone else?"

The question has Li Long Hua to take a long time in thought.
