An Ran heard Sun Xuehui humiliating Xiao Xiao, and imdiately sat up straight, clenching her teeth, "Sun Xuehui..."
"Madam," Lu Yi suddenly interrupted An Ran, "I think you’ve misunderstood. Xiao Xiao ca to this party today because she was invited by the Lu Family, attending as my companion. I am honored to have Xiao Xiao as my companion, so no matter what she does at today’s party, it’s a privilege I’ve given her. As for your comnts about ignorance, I find that to be part of Xiao Xiao’s charm. So, I ask you to be mindful of your own status and setting, rather than putting on airs of nobility while your words resemble those of a common shrew."
"No... Young Master Lu, you misunderstood. I am Ran’s mother. Xiao Xiao grew up with Ran, and I am just teaching her so manners as an elder."
Sun Xuehui quickly explained, never imagining that Lu Yi would stand up for Xiao Xiao. She still hoped her daughter might connect with the Lu Family; leaving a poor impression with Lu Yi now was unfathomable.
"I think Xiao Xiao should be guided by Aunt Xiao. Madam, you have no relation to Xiao Xiao, so it might be inappropriate for you to teach her manners?"
Lu Yi’s previously gentle deanor was replaced with a stern expression, full aura on display, causing Sun Xuehui to break out in a cold sweat.
"Yes, yes, Young Master Lu is right. I was just speaking casually," Sun Xuehui replied with a forced smile.
"Xiao Xiao, Lu Yi, go dance. I’m fine here," An Ran said to send them away.
She knew they were standing up for her. Sun Xuehui never shows up without an agenda; since she ca looking for her, she wouldn’t stop until her goal was t. Regardless of what it was, she wanted her to just say it out, end her thoughts, and avoid future trouble.
"Okay, I’ll take Xiao Xiao over there for a while. Call if you need anything," Lu Yi reminded her with concern.
As Lu Yi walked away holding Xiao Xiao’s hand, Sun Xuehui patted her chest.
Indeed, the children raised by prominent families have a different aura. Lu Yi, at that mont, had more presence than An Youcai, a seasoned veteran in the business world.
However, having had close contact with Lu Yi, Sun Xuehui beca even more satisfied. If he already possesses such an aura at a young age, what would happen when he grows up?
"Ran, are you very familiar with the young master of the Lu Family?" She did not believe that soone like Xiao Xiao could have connections with the Lu Family; it must be An Ran who made the introduction.
"You saw it, didn’t you? What’s your business with ?" An Ran, tired of circles, directly asked.
Sun Xuehui withdrew her gaze and sighed, "Ran, now that you have soone to rely on, I’m genuinely happy for you. As for Xiao Xiao, no matter how close she is to you, she’s just your friend. Jiajia has grown up with you all these years, living under the sa roof, and now she’s twenty. With an excellent boy like Young Master Lu, you should introduce him more to Jiajia. Now that you both have n you can rely on, I too can be at ease."
An Ran sneered, "There’s no bother. If An Sijia wants to find a man, she doesn’t need to introduce one."
Wasn’t Ye Sheng a good example back then? If she wants, she can pursue it herself.
Sun Xuehui pretended not to catch the aning behind her words and reached to hold An Ran’s hand, but An Ran avoided her.
Awkwardly retracting her hand, Sun Xuehui casually fixed her hair to cover her embarrassnt, then continued to speak...
