Chapter 73 - Selling a Narrative of Misery

When Qiao An arrived at the gathering place, she looked at the luxurious hotel in front of her and fell into a daze.

This hotel was owned by the richest family in the capital, the Huo family.

The Huo family was different from the Li family. The Li family was a medical family that had been raised in the capital for a hundred years. However, the Huo family ran a very wide range of businesses. Not only did they into biopharmaceuticals, but they also had stakes in electronics, intelligence, film, and real estate. The Huo family’s foothold was not in the capital, but overseas. After returning to the country for only about twenty years, they had become the richest person in the capital.

To be able to book the Huo Hotel, the host tonight must have an extraordinary background. Just as Qiao An was deep in thought, a sarcastic voice suddenly sounded.

“Qiao An, how did you find this place?”

Qiao An didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.

Li Ze’en was so shocked that her eyes were about to pop out. “You’re indeed very capable. You actually found the location of the gathering so quickly.”

Qiao An raised her phone and handed the invitation message to Li Ze’en. When Li Ze’en saw the invitation message from Chen Xiao, her face turned green.

Chen Xiao actually invited Qiao An to the party he held?

This was impossible.

Even she, the legitimate daughter of the Li family, was not invited. It was her brother who took the initiative to tell her. Therefore, he asked her to dress up and attend this gathering so that he could rope her in.

Qiao An looked at Li Ze’en’s deflated expression and shifted her gaze from Li Ze’en’s exquisite makeup to the dress that accentuated her exquisite figure. A disdainful sneer appeared on her face.

Li Zecheng was really unscrupulous for the sake of benefits. Even his own sister had to make the best of it.

Qiao An left Li Ze’en behind and entered the hotel.

At the lobby service counter.

The staff called out to Qiao An with a smile, “Miss, what’s your name?”

“Qiao An.”

“Please follow me.” Immediately, a waiter stood up to lead the way for Qiao An.

Li Ze’en walked to the service counter and gave her name very casually and rudely. “Li Ze’en.”

The staff handed her the card and told her politely in a very formal voice, “Second floor clubhouse. Turn right after leaving the elevator.”

This treatment was worlds apart from Qiao An’s.

Li Ze’en rolled her eyes at the staff and muttered in a low voice, “You don’t know what’s good for you. You mistook a pheasant for a phoenix. I’m clearly the real heiress.”

When the staff heard her complaint, she only glanced at her coldly. When Li Ze’en turned around, she heard a few attendants sneer at her. “That profligate daughter of the Li family really thinks highly of herself. Look at this place.”

Although the Huo family and the Li family were both highly regarded, in everyone’s eyes, the Huo family was like the imperial family, and the Li family was like a title conferred by the emperor. The difference in status was obvious.

When had Li Ze’en ever been so humiliated? She was instantly embarrassed and angry. She gritted her teeth and left angrily.

When Qiao An entered the elevator, Li Ze’en walked in.

The staff was polite and enthusiastic to Qiao An. He kept talking to her. “Miss Qiao, you’re so beautiful.”

Qiao An said humbly, “Thank you for the compliment.”

“If Miss Qiao can gain more weight, she will definitely look better.” The staff suggested kindly.

Qiao An smiled. “From what you’re saying, I have to work hard to gain weight.”

The two of them laughed in harmony.

Li Ze’en’s expression was ugly because the attendant praised Qiao An for being good-looking, but did not praise her for her meticulous makeup, making her very jealous of Qiao An.

The elevator doors opened and the attendant led Qiao An to the clubhouse.

The party had begun.

Melodious music was playing in the clubhouse, and there were people dancing on the dance floor. The guests were chatting in groups of two or three. Most eye-catching of all, there were food towers everywhere.

Qiao An entered the clubhouse and was attracted by the food.

She couldn’t help but sneak a piece of cake and stuff it into her mouth.

Li Ze’en looked at her in disdain and sneered. “Village girl, don’t embarrass the Li family.”

At this moment, Qiao An saw Li Zecheng holding Wei Xin’s hand and walking over. The two of them had deliberately worn matching clothes today and looked quite compatible.

Li Ze’en rolled her eyes at Qiao An and said disdainfully, “My brother and my future sister-in-law are here. Qiao An, if you know what’s good for you, hurry up and hide in the bathroom. You can’t let others know that you’re my brother’s first wife. It’s so embarrassing.”

Qiao An shook off her hand and said, “Why should I hide? The person who should be hiding is Wei Xin, not me, the real wife.”

At this moment, Li Zecheng suddenly stopped.

He raised his red wine and toasted a well-dressed and elegant man.

“Chen Xiao, among all the students, you’re the best,” Li Zecheng said obsequiously.

Chen Xiao looked at Wei Xin, who was beside Li Zecheng, and said, “Zecheng, I heard that you married a young and beautiful top student. You two are as loving as before. It’s enviable.”

Wei Xin and Li Zecheng looked embarrassed.

Qiao An watched from nearby.

Li Zecheng’s skin was indeed thicker than the city wall. He immediately pulled Wei Xin up and started showing off their love. “That’s right. My career has gone downhill these two years. Fortunately, my wife never left me.”

Li Zecheng’s words were quite brilliant. On the one hand, he was showing off their love, and on the other hand, he was acting pitiful to his old classmate for a chance to cooperate.

Chen Xiao said, “As the saying goes, everything will prosper eventually. Zecheng, you have a good wife by your side. You will definitely be able to make a comeback.”

Li Zecheng said, “Chen Xiao, you’re rich now. I’m still hoping that you can help classmates in difficulty.”

Chen Xiao said readily, “Of course I have to support you.”

Li Zecheng smiled like a spring breeze.

Seeing that the time was right, Qiao An suddenly picked up the milk and leaned over.

“Hubby.” Her gentle and timid voice instantly made Li Zecheng unable to think.

He couldn’t imagine why Qiao An was here.

The elite men present all revealed stunned expressions. “Ze Cheng, what exactly is going on? Who is your wife?”

Li Zecheng looked at Qiao An, who was dressed extremely shabbily, and felt a sense of disgust.

He told everyone, “I’ll divorce her soon.”

The men immediately looked at Qiao An sympathetically.

However, Qiao An washed away her despair. She raised her milk and said to Chen Xiao, “CEO Chen is the exemplar of El University. Qiao An has long heard of your deeds. To be able to see the true face of my idol today, my dream has come true.”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, “I’ve heard all kinds of flattery, but Qiao An, you’ve really won my heart. The thing I’m most proud of in my life is that I’m the model student of El University. M senior is better than me in every aspect, except for this title. Hahaha.”
