Chapter 16: The Li family's success party
The next day Li Xiaolu woke up extremely excited as she rummaged through her entire closet. Li Xiaolu threw away the disgusting, cheap second hand dresses she got from Li Roulan and Meng Xuimin.
She remembered that everytime they used visit her. They would give her these used dresses and tell her that it was new. Being a fool, Li Xiaolu used to keep them safely as if it was some kind of a treasure in her previous life.
Ah..... Where is it? I must have kept it here somewhere.....
She remembered that she had a red dress in her closet. It was her first design. In her previous life, Li Roulan accidently found this dress in her closet and got to know about her designing talent.
Listening to her , Li Xiaolu opened her store and became the famous fashion designer, LX. All of her new designs would be worn by her while she would be wear Li Roulan and Meng Xuimin used old clothes.
Alas!! I found if.....Li Xiaolu sighned in relief on finding that dress. She took out the dress from her closet and walk towards the mirror.
She wondered what would be the reaction of those selfish people when they see her at the party. Li Xiaolu chuckled.... They wanted to keep my identity hidden while making me their puppet right?
The Li family.... just you wait... I'll make everyone know that this orphan is the eldest miss of the Li family. Just wait for the most memorable party of your lives...
*******
The Li family, at the dining table.
"Good morning dad... good morning mom..." Li Yifeng the youngest child and the only son of the Li Youbin greeted sitting on his seat at the dining table.
"Good morning son... " Li Youbin and his wife, Yu Rushi smiled.
"Good morning dad... Good morning mom... " Li Roulan greeted and kissed her parents cheeks as she took her seat.
" Good morning princess.... " they both smiled.
Li Youbin and Yu Rushi looked proudly at their children. One of them was a very talented actress while the other an aspiring business man.
Li Youbin was seated on the head seat with his wife sitting on the left and son on the right and Li Roulan sat next to her mother. Housekeeper Xu signaled as the maids served the breakfast.
Li Youbin raised his head as he glanced at Xu Housekeeper," Is everything ready for tonight's party? "
Housekeeper Xu nodded, " Yes Master..."
Li Youbin nodded, " You can leave... "
Housekeeper Xu bowed his head and left. Munching on his breakfast Li Yifeng grumbled, " Dad do you look down on me? "
Li Youbin was startled by his son's question. "What are you saying son? You and Roulan are my pride... How could I look down on you? "
"Then why do you always use Li Xiaolu to work in the company. You never let me handle any project by myself. You use her ideas and then let me take credits for it... Do you feel that I am useless? "
Youbin laughed, " Yifeng my son, you have got me all wrong. I don't look down on you. I know that my son is very talented...."
"So why? " Li Yifeng asked feeling wronged.
"Son, you know that Li Xiaolu is adopted. I have raised her and given her my name. So, by making her work for us is the way of her repaying us.... Son, you should understand one thing that Li Xiaolu is our slave. What is the use of raising a slave, if it doesn't work for their master? " Li Youbin laughed.
" Okay dad.... I understand. " Li Yifeng nodded.
"Today many people from influential families are coming.... You have to make good use of this opportunity... " Li Youbin reminded his son.
"Roulan.... Is Chen Yufan coming today?" Yu Rushi asked her daughter.
Li Roulan blushed, " Ofcourse mom... "
Li Youbin looked at his daughter and sighned, "Roulan remember that.... "
Cutting her dad in the middle Roulan pouted, "I know dad.... I have to be careful with Chen Yufan. I can't let Li Xiaolu know anything. But dad why Brother Yufan have to pretend to be her boyfriend? "
Li Youbin looked at her daughter in a spoiled manner, " Roulan.... you know how easily Li Xiaolu listen's to Chen Yufan words. He is like a leash on her. You have to be careful. You can't let her know your relationship with Chen Yufan... "
Li Roulan nodded, " Don't worry dad. She is a fool and lives under a rock. She won't know anything and even if she does I know how to handle it.... "
Li Youbin laughed proudly looking at his daughter, " That's like my daughter.... "
Li Roulan thought as her hands clenched in a fist and an evil glint appeared in her eyes, " But dad once this drama is finished.... I want to handle that bitc- I mean Li Xiaolu by myself.You would let me right dad? "
Yu Rushi laughed, " Ofcourse.... You can deal with her however you want. Isn't that right honey? "
Li Youbin looked at his wife and daughter and nodded, " Ofcourse. You can deal with her however you want ... "
"Thanks dad... " Li Roulan smiled. Let everything finish.... then I will show that bitch.... what is result of even thinking about my man....
