Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1839: Chapter 1742: Who’s Family With You?

Li Jun felt very frustrated by the uninvited arrival of Li Yan, Li Hang, and others, who obviously had ulterior motives. Already feeling oppressed, he could not tolerate Li Yan’s rude disturbance in the banquet hall and immediately became angry.

Usurp the host’s role, take over the master’s place—such vocabularies are not polite. Li Yan was intimidated by the strong aura suddenly emanating from Li Jun and choked instantly, while on the other side, Li Hang and Xing Jiaojiao had already turned dark-faced.

The young man pulled along by Li Yan clearly didn’t expect Li Jun to disregard the Li Family’s face like this. Seeing his woman being reprimanded, he was displeased:

”Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Xiao Yanzi is doing it for the Li Family’s good. This woman can say harsh things to Xiao Yanzi, meaning she’s not a proper lady, just some irregular woman from somewhere. With our Li Family’s status, such a woman can’t attend the master elder’s birthday banquet; she will tarnish the Li Family’s reputation, and it would be best to kick her out. Besides, terms like usurping the host’s role are too critical. We’re originally one family; for an outsider, it’s a joke to hurt the harmony.”

Hearing the man’s words carrying an air of superiority, belittling and even defaming Huo Sining as an irregular person, posing as if he belonged to the Li Family — such shameless comments disgusted not only Huo Sining and Li Jun but also Li Yu, who had been silent all along, felt as if he had eaten flies.

”Family? Who’s family with you? Do I know you?”

Li Jun looked at the man with disdain and contempt, ”Don’t try to associate with me. My grandfather was kind to you, but unlike him, I won’t bring wolves into the house. I know why you’re here without you saying, but I’ll tell you, it’s wishful thinking. You better go back to your Liuli Island and chase your daydreams!”

As soon as Li Jun finished speaking, the four people standing there stiffened at once. Li Hang and Li Yan suddenly lifted their heads, glanced at Li Jun’s expression, then turned to look at each other, exchanging a look.

Xing Jiaojiao, not getting along with Huo Sining, was annoyed seeing this and looked at Li Jun with disapproval:

”Big Brother Li, how can you do this? We came sincerely to wish the elder a happy birthday, and now you’re driving us away. This is too much. No matter how you see it, we’re part of the Li Family. How can you turn against your kin and favor an outsider?”

Li Jun sneered, ”Don’t flatter yourselves. The Glazed Li Family from America and the Li Family have never been one family. We gave you some dignity, yet you took advantage of it. You’re not even married into the family but already labelled yourself with the Li Family name. Aren’t you afraid of any changes? Have some shame. Even if I side with a stranger, I will never let the greedy wolves coveting my Li Family succeed!”

Li Jun’s words thoroughly embarrassed the four of them, but they came with a purpose. Even confronting Li Jun, they couldn’t leave in anger. Hence, they endured his mocking.

Seeing other guests around casting glances and whispering, even with thick skin, Li Hang and his group felt some humiliation. Their gaze towards Li Jun and Huo Sining showed a bit of anger and resentment.

”Miss Huo?! You’re here too!”

During the confrontation, a joyful shout suddenly came from another side, followed by someone striding towards where they were standing.

Huo Sining was taken aback and instinctively looked towards the direction of the noise, and others followed suit.

Three people approached, led by Adrian. Behind Adrian were Windsor Reed and Windsor Caesar, which surprised Huo Sining since she had unexpectedly met them in Las Vegas before.

The Windsor Family is part of the English royal family, and Adrian is an English Earl, so Huo Sining knew their relationship was very close. However, she didn’t expect them to attend the Li family elder’s birthday banquet together, indicating the elder’s extensive connections.

Since attending Huo Sining and Gu Xu’s wedding, Windsor Caesar had ceased those romantic thoughts. However, months later, seeing this beautiful Oriental woman in America reignited his excitement and joy, deepening his gaze towards Huo Sining, revealing a rare gentle expression on his usually indifferent face.

”Mr. Earl, Mr. Windsor, long time no see.”

Adrian waved his hand, smiling: ”It has been quite a while. I didn’t expect to meet you here. Since we’ve bumped into each other, it’s perfect timing. In a couple of days, Mr. Windsor and I are attending an auction. If you have time, come along with us. How about it?”

Huo Sining hesitated, ”Auction? What type of auction?”

Adrian glanced at Windsor Reed, then leaned towards Huo Sining, lowered his voice mysteriously, and said:

”It’s actually an underground black market auction. There’s a lot from Las Vegas brought over, you know, the casinos are gold pits there, with lots using antiques as collateral chips. Caesar knows the ins and outs better than us.”

Huo Sining’s eyes showed a hint of understanding; as she had nothing substantial to do recently, accompanying Adrian might yield some cherished finds, so she nodded without hesitation and agreed, ”Sure, I’ll come with you.”

Since Huo Sining still had a big difference between her TV presence and real life, the guests hadn’t recognized her as the Oriental Miss Huo who was all over the TV earlier. Hence, seeing Huo Sining interact familiarly with Adrian and the Windsor father and son surprised the suspicions of identity among the banquet guests.

”Who is that woman? Why is the old Earl from the Robert family and the Windsor father and son treating her so kindly? She looks very familiar with them.”

”No idea, could she be Emperor’s new girlfriend?”

”Impossible! If Emperor had a new girlfriend, the media would have reported it by now, and Emperor’s girlfriend would not prompt such close expressions from the Earl and the Emperor’s father!”

”Didn’t you hear the Earl call her Miss Huo? You must be muddled not to recognize her; she’s the Oriental woman who triumphed at the international treasure appraisal conference earlier!”
