It was dark outside when Murong Xue came out of Lizi Pavilion. She checked the time and it was 7 o'clock. During this period, she only got a call from Mo Aili and Mo Aili asked about her situation.

She sighed. As an outsider, she knew how Liu Huali felt right now because she had been the same devastated when she broke up with Shangguan Mo before, so she could understand why Liu Huali did not call her and she wouldn’t force him.

So Murong Xue decided to go to the party alone. Returning to the villa, Murong Xue grabbed the gift and left for the Mo Family's house.

When Murong Xue was leaving for the party, her cellphone rang. She picked up the phone and found it was from Liu Huali. She knew he had thought it through, so she felt relieved.

"Hello, Huali."

"Xue, is it too late now?" Liu Huali asked in a hasty voice.

Murong Xue checked the time and it was half past seven now, "No, just the right time. Are you ready?" She wondered what he would wear.

"I'm ready. Sorry for keeping you waiting." Liu Huali apologized.

"Where are you now? I can give you a drive." Murong Xue asked while getting into the car.

"Huayu Street, nearby the university."

"Okay, in ten minutes. Wait for me." Murong Xue hung up after saying.

Very soon, Murong Xue saw Liu Huali standing at the entrance of the mall. She stopped the car and greeted him, "Huali, over there."

Liu Huali saw Murong Xue and walked over.

"Let me drive." Liu Huali felt embarrassed if girls drove for him.

Murong Xue did not refuse his proposal because it was basic etiquette. She got out of the car and walked to the front seat, and then she turned to look at Liu Huali.

Liu Huali became a different person after tidying himself up. He was charming now. The youthful casual suit he wore was quite proper, which looked very decent. Although his suit was not of high quality, it was suitable for the situation.

Murong Xue saw the gift box in Liu Huali's hand, which meant that he was quite informed about the banquet etiquette.

"Thank you, Xue." Liu Huali thanked her while driving the car.

Looking at the scenery out the window, Murong Xue spoke in a calm tone, "No need. I just offer you the opportunity and it all counts on yourself now."

Thinking of her last life, she had done everything for Fang Shihua's sake. However, she ended up being his stepping stones and he abandoned her without hesitation.

She had felt extreme pain just after her rebirth while thinking of Fang Shihua. But now she felt nothing when she thought of Fang Shihua. However, she still hated this man, who hurt her parents with Xiao Keli in her last life. She would take revenge on Fang Shihua and Xiao Keli one day when the time was ripe and she became strong enough.

But to her surprise, Xiao Keli just disappeared.

Murong Xue did not talk much with Liu Huali. The soothing music in the car made both of them feel peaceful and the cool breeze coming from the window was very enjoyable.

After about half an hour, the car stopped outside the Mo Family's house. Liu Huali parked the car and walked to stand with Murong Xue side by side.

Murong Xue reached out to hold his arm. This gesture was nothing romantic. It was just etiquette.

However, they met Long Meijing and her partner the next moment. Murong Xue nodded to them and moved forward as they were not close.

"Murong Xue, why are you here?" Long Meijing suppressed her jealousy and asked.

Murong Xue dressed up for the party and now she was a real goddess. Flowers covering the long dark-green dress started with her waist and then climbed to her upper body, which was very appealing scenery. Besides, the tiered hem exposed her beautiful legs and presented a pleasing picture of ripples while she was walking, which showed to advantage her curvy body.

As for hair, Murong Xue did a peony-like hair bun and decorated it with an exquisite jade hairpin, which made her delicate and beautiful. What was around her fair neck was a necklace of the highest-grade imperial jade and it had the same color as her dress. With all of these, Murong Xue looked more elegant and charming.

Murong Xue did not have any problem with Long Meijing's contemptuous tone, so she answered plainly, "I come for the party."

"Meijing, you know this gorgeous lady? Would you like to introduce us?" Long Meijing's partner was her cousin and his eyes lit up when he saw Murong Xue.

Hearing this, Long Meijing felt grumpy. When her partner was attracted by Murong Xue, she felt ashamed. She thought his behavior showed that Murong Xue was better than her.

Then she took a look at Murong Xue's partner and found it was Liu Huali, which amused her. She knew Liu Huali's family background, so she could be sure that he did not get invited. Now she suspected that the two invited themselves over after hearing what she said in the afternoon.

"Not anyone can come to this party. So, you'd better leave for home now. Otherwise, don't blame me for your disgrace later." Long Meijing just ignored her cousin and her tone became more arrogant now.

Murong Xue was amused as well, but she was not going to argue with Long Meijing as it would make an ugly scene when it was a big moment for Grandpa Mo. Besides, Grandpa Mo was an important elder to her. "Thank you for reminding me. I'll bear it in mind." Murong Xue answered flatly.

Long Meijing thought that Murong Xue was frightened by her, so she became even more complacent, "Then, you'd better leave now in case others see you here."

"Why?" Murong Xue found it very hilarious.

"Do you have the invitation letter?" Long Meijing asked.

Murong Xue answered honestly, "No." She was invited by Mo Changfeng personally, but she didn’t tell the truth to Long Meijing.

After getting the answer she expected, Long Meijing changed her face, "If so, don't fool around here. You cannot go inside and you might get arrested for your questionable behavior." Long Meijing felt exhilarated by saying these to Murong Xue, who was more beautiful than her but did not get invited so that she couldn’t enter the Mo Family.

She felt that she herself became nobler now and her value was improved. She kept her head up.

"Thank you for caring about us. Let's go, Huali." Murong Xue did not want to waste time.

Liu Huali nodded and they walked to the door of the Mo Family.

Glaring at Murong Xue's back, Long Meijing clenched her fists as she was ignored by Murong Xue again. Then she followed Murong Xue as she wanted to see how she would be humiliated.

"Meijing, who is that gorgeous lady?"

"Just some country bumpkin. Beautiful but vulgar." Long Meijing snapped. She would have never come there with her cousin if not for his role in acquiring the invitation letter. She was determined to get rid of this embarrassing partner when they went inside.

"I don't think so. She wears a necklace of imperial jade and that is not something for normal people." Even Long Meijing's cousin found Murong Xue's jade rare as he had only seen this kind of jade once in an exhibition and the imperial jade at that time was almost identical with Murong Xue's.

Long Meijing's eyes were wide open. She questioned in disbelief, "No way. She is from a merchant family in A province. She cannot afford imperial jade. It must be fake."

"Really? I can't say for sure as it's dark now. Maybe it's fake. By the way, since she is nobody, can I have fun with her?" Long Meijing's cousin showed a creepy face.

Hearing this, Long Meijing rolled her eyes at him. She knew her cousin was a playboy, the frequent visitor of casinos and brothels, so she was happy to see it happen, "Sure, go and get her. Even if anything happens, no one would care about her." Then she gave her cousin some tips and told him that Murong Xue would not like men like him since she announced her relationship with Chu Yisen before. Now she believed that Murong Xue was lying because Murong Xue would have come with Chu Yisen instead of Liu Huali if Chu Yisen had been her boyfriend. She knew Chu Yisen would come to this banquet today.

When talking about this, the cousins smiled at each other. At the same time, Murong Xue felt a chill in her back.

When Murong Xue came to the door, the doorman stopped her politely and asked after making a bow, "Sorry, Sir, Miss, please show your invitation letter."

Liu Huali turned to look at Murong Xue. He believed that Murong Xue had the invitation letter since she invited him, but he heard her no to Long Meijing's question. So he wondered how they could get in now.

Murong Xue looked inside the door but did not see Mo Aili, who was supposed to be waiting for her at the door.

"Don't you hear me? Leave now. Don’t lose your face." Long Meijing arrived at this moment and she felt delighted when seeing Murong Xue being stopped by the doorman.

Ignoring Long Meijing, Murong Xue took out her cellphone and called Mo Aili, but she did not get through as the line was busy. So she had to hang up and call Mo Liufeng.

"Hello, Xue."

"Liufeng, can you come to the door now? I'm here." Murong Xue asked flatly.

"I'll be there in a minute."

Hanging up the phone, Murong Xue just waited quietly. With his inexplicable faith in her, Liu Huali did the same.
