After the divorce, I became a rich girl

After Li Xuanbao sat down, she immediately picked up a glass of red wine on the table and drank it all in one breath. Seeing this, Zhong Xinlan frowned slightly and said with concern: "Xuanbao, you have already drunk several glasses just now, don't drink anymore. If you drink more, you will get drunk. In this kind of occasion, as the host, it would be very rude for us to get drunk."

Afterwards, Zhong Xinlan signaled to the waiter to remove the drinks on the table and replace them with juice.

Li Xuanbao finally came back to his senses, staring absentmindedly at the empty glass in his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't drink anymore."

Not long after they sat down, a staff member came over and leaned over to whisper something in Zhong Xinlan's ear.

Then, Zhong Xinlan stood up helplessly and said to Li Jiawei and Li Xuanbao: "I have to go upstairs. Our little girl is crying and looking for me."

Soon after Zhong Xinlan left, three beautifully dressed women came over. One of them was Jiang Lu, who had been talking to Li Xuanbao at the beginning of the banquet.

Jiang Lu bent down, put her arm around Li Xuanbao's shoulders, and asked, "Honey, can we sit here?"

Li Xuanbao looked at the three women who had arrived, smiled and stood up and said, "Yuelin, Mengqi, long time no see. When did you return to China?"

Jiang Lu replied: "They just came back last month. I didn't tell you just now because I wanted to give you a surprise."

Then, Li Xuanbao smiled and asked the three to sit down, and introduced them to Li Jiawei: "Jiawei, this is Jiang Lu, her family is in the clothing business." Then, she pointed to another woman and said: "This is Zheng Yuelin, her family runs a hotel chain." Finally, she looked at the last woman: "This is Gao Mengqi, her family is in the medical device industry."

Li Jiawei smiled and shook hands with the three of them, and they became acquainted.

Jiang Lu ordered a glass of red wine from the waiter, then turned to Li Jiawei and said, "Come, I'll toast you. We are Xuanbao's best friends and have known each other since kindergarten. Xuanbao mentioned you and said that she felt guilty about you and felt that your life was taken away by her. I hope you can forgive her."

Li Jiawei looked at Li Xuanbao, wondering about the three women's intentions, especially Jiang Lu. Although she didn't say anything excessive, she made Li Jiawei unhappy as soon as she opened her mouth.

But today is Jing Qiu's birthday party. As the host, Li Jiawei must maintain the dignity of the Li family and not offend the guests.

Li Jiawei picked up the juice on the table and said, "I can't drink alcohol, so I used juice instead. Xuanbao and I have a good relationship. Thank you for your concern."

The two clinked their glasses lightly and Li Jiawei took a sip of juice.

Jiang Lu stared at Li Jiawei and drank the red wine in her glass with a smile: "I hope so. You can't bully our Xuan Bao, otherwise, we will all be sad."

Li Jiawei said: "Bully! How could you use this word? I thought only kindergarten kids would use this word."

Zheng Yuelin looked at Li Jiawei and found her to be quite eloquent. She said, "Jiawei, you are so beautiful. No wonder you won Xiao Yi's heart. How long have you been dating? How come there is no news from the outside world?"

Li Jiawei sighed softly, and then replied: "We have been dating for a year. We don't want to attract too much attention, so we didn't make it public. Only relatives and friends around us know about it. Besides, Xiao Yi and I are together, beauty is only part of it, it's more because of our spiritual compatibility."

Gao Mengqi echoed from the side, "Jiawei, don't be so nervous. You are so sharp when you speak to us. We really want to be friends with you. You and Xuanbao have such a good relationship. We treat you as a friend and have no ill intentions. We just speak bluntly at ordinary times. Don't mind it."

Li Jiawei smiled and shook her head: "I don't mind, but I'm pretty direct. Don't think too much about it."

Li Xuanbao turned to look at Jiang Lu, her eyes full of questions: What exactly are you going to do?

Jiang Lu gently patted the back of Li Xuanbao's hand to comfort her, and then said to her in French: "We are here to help you test whether Li Jiawei is really open-minded or just pretending not to care. After all, you will settle down in Xishi in the future, and you will have many contacts with her. If she is a cunning person, your future life will definitely be difficult.

Besides, she is the biological daughter of the Li family. If there is any unhappiness between you in the future, your parents will definitely side with her. We have to let her know that you have someone to rely on."

Li Xuanbao also replied in French: "You don't have to do this. Even if we have any unhappiness in the future, I will just take a step back."

Jiang Lu snorted, "Why do you want to give in? You can give in once, but do you have to give in every time? Don't worry, we won't go too far."

Li Jiawei listened to Li Xuanbao and Jiang Lu chattering a lot, but she couldn't understand a word because what they spoke was not English, but something like French.

Gao Mengqi turned around and asked Li Jiawei: "Jiawei, can you understand what they are saying?"

Li Jiawei said: "My English level is only above level 4."

After hearing this, Zheng Yuelin covered her mouth and laughed, "Jiawei, they are not speaking English."

Li Jiawei nodded and said, "I know, they speak French."

Zheng Yuelin asked curiously: "Jiawei, which school did you graduate from?"

Li Jiawei replied: "Xishi University of Finance and Economics."

After hearing this, Zheng Yuelin and Gao Mengqi looked at each other and said "oh" in unison. Li Jiawei could feel the contempt in their hearts.

She looked at Li Xuanbao who was still talking to Jiang Lu in French and suddenly felt bored. She did not feel inferior because she did not graduate from a prestigious university or did not know French, but she suddenly realized the complexity of human nature.

It turned out that in the eyes of outsiders, her relationship with Li Xuanbao seemed destined to be disharmonious. They should resent each other rather than be able to coexist peacefully.

Today, Li Xuanbao allowed her friends to test her, which made Li Jiawei very uncomfortable.

She tightened her shawl, ignored Zheng Yuelin and Gao Mengqi's stares and their childish behavior, stood up and said to Li Xuanbao, "Since you haven't seen each other for a long time, I won't disturb you from reminiscing about the past."

When Li Xuanbao saw Li Jiawei stand up, she also stood up and said, "Jiawei, I hope you don't mind."

Li Jiawei smiled at Li Xuanbao, turned around and left without saying anything.

After Li Jiawei left, Li Xuanbao sat on a chair and looked out the window in a daze.

Jiang Lu looked at her and said distressedly: "Xuan Bao, you don't have to care about her attitude. We will feel distressed if you do this."

Li Xuanbao smiled bitterly: "Feeling distressed? Jiang Lu, I am no longer the unbridled Li Xuanbao. Now, my parents are gone, and my husband is gone. Although I have a lot of property, I am really unhappy."

Jiang Lu, Zheng Yuelin and Gao Mengqi exchanged glances. Jiang Lu suggested, "Xuanbao, why don't you go abroad with us to relax. Maybe a change of environment will make you feel better."

Li Xuanbao shook her head: "This is not a problem that can be solved by moving to another place. I'm just too lonely."
