Chapter 21: The eldest daughter of the Li family
"They are my parents. And you all have no rights to say anything about them..."
"Mr. Li what is going on ? What is this girl talking about? " someone asked.
"Everyone, I am Li Xiaolu the eldest daughter of the Li family. I am Roulan's and Yifeng's sister... "
Everybody's eyes widened and they looked between Li Xiaolu and the Li couple in shock.
Li Xiaolu looked at her father with an apologetic face, "I'm really sorry father but I have to expose my identity. It was fine if they insulted me, I can bear it. But they insulted you. And my parents are my bottom line... "
"Father I think you should just tell everyone that I am your eldest daughter. It was I who helped Roulan and Yifeng - "
Before Li Xiaolu could complete the sentence, Li Youbin immediately interrupted, "She is speaking the truth. She is Li Xiaolu my eldest daughter. " He couldn't do anything else. He had to expose her identity or else he feared that if this girl exposes everything about Roulan and Yifeng then everything will be ruined.
While introducing Li Xiaolu, his heart was in complete turmoil. Why did it come to this? How did this happen? Wasn't this orphan already leaving, then why did everything change?
The Li couple was so angry in their hearts but their face had a charming smile. Everybody who heard Li Youbin was stunned.
They had just slandered the eldest young miss of the Li family in her own house. What did they just do? Wasn't it like taking a axe and digging your own grave...
Today most of them had come to establish some kind of connections to the Li's but can they still do it now?
Embarrassed they apologized, "We are sorry Mr. Li we didn't know that she was your daughter otherwise we wouldn't have said all those things.... "
Then they turned to look at Li Xiaolu, "Miss Li, We are truly very sorry for everything we've said. We had no idea who you were... "
"Everybody it's fine. Nobody is at fault. It was a small misunderstanding and you all didn't knew about my identity so please don't apologize... "
From the start, she never cared what these people would say. She only wanted to achieve her goal and now it's done.
Seeing how graceful and an forgiving Li Xiaolu was, they started praising her. The businessman who had slandered her, apologized in shame, "We are really very sorry Miss Li..."
"It's fine...." she politely replied. Seeing that she forgave everyone so easily, he laughed. "Li Youbin I must say you really are worthy to be jealous of.... You have such an amazing and beautiful daughter. "
Li Youbin nodded half heartedly, "Thank you... Thank you... "
"Yes, Mr. Li you eldest daughter is really an epitome of beauty and grace... "
"Even when we spoke so ill about her, she never spoke a word. She has such a big heart to forgive us"
"Miss Li is really a beautiful person inside out"
"Not only she is beautiful, she also is a filial daughter.... "
Li Roulan glarred at Li Xiaolu as her fingernails digged into her palms. She was so angered listening to all these people, praising that s.l.u.t.
Why did this happen? Wasn't everyone slandering and speaking ill about her? How did it turn into praising?
She felt something was off. She didn't know what it was, but something was different with Li Xiaolu. First, she denied to go for an audition for her even when Chen Yufan asked her. Then today she revealed her true face and even her identity got exposed. Was it all just a coincidence?
Meanwhile someone asked, "Mr. and Mrs. Li, why did you not introduced Miss Li to us?
"Yes Mr. Li we only knew about Li Roulan and Li Yifeng. We never knew that you had another beautiful daughter? "
Li Youbin started sweating when people began questioning him. Already everything has come to this so it's better to think of something that would be reasonable enough and also would not foil his plan.
He was about to speak but Li Xiaolu was even one step ahead, "Actually I was.... "
"Actually everyone, my daughter had just comes from the States to congratulate her brother in his success. I was thinking of introducing her to you all but then she felt a little unwell so I was told her to go home... Isn't that right xiaolu? " Li Youbin said interupping Li Xiaolu.
She smiled meekly, "Yes father...."
She had to admit that this so called father of hers was really a sly fox. He didn't even gave her a chance to explain while covering up everything. But let it be, till when does this old man thinks he can hide everything, I am going to make his plans fail one by one...
"Oh... "Everyone nodded their head in understanding. Seeing everything being settled down, Li Youbin sighed in relief and calmed down...
"I would like to apologize to everyone, that such an incident happened here. But now that everything is sorted let the party continue..." he said.
Everyone cheered and the almostphere became normal. Some servants were called to clean up the mess and everyone started engaging themselves in their talks.
Seeing Li Xiaolu being surrounded by a group of ladies Hu Yutian chuckled, " I never knew her acting would be that great.... "
Zhang Zhehan eyes never drifted from Li Xiaolu. From the start, his eyes only had her. He was so angered when he saw these ant like people slandering her. He wanted to go forwards and help her.
But he knew she needed this. So, he stopped himself. "Everything about her is great..... " he spoke as his eyes were filled with love.
