Chapter 27 - Momentarily Blinded (1/2)

Seeing the way Li Qin Yao's gaze wondered around, Zhao Wei immediately understood what she was trying to escape. Zhao Wei looked around to see if anyone was watching them. Once she was sure that no one would come to the corner, Zhao Wei stepped up to block Li Qin Yao.

Li Qin Yao frowned at her aunt's action.

Li Mu Chen naturally saw her mother's intention. She pulled her cousin on her arms and smiled sweetly. ”What's the rush. We haven't had the chance to talk after you left the company. Why don't we sat down and talked a little bit before your grandfather's birthday banquet begins?”

The frown on Li Qin Yao's face deepened. She could not help but feel annoyed by her Second Uncle's family members. Every one of them would not stop pestering her when she only wanted to be left alone.

”Your cousin's right,” Zhao Wei added. ”It has been years since the two of you hang out together. Back then, the two of you were pretty close, right?”

Li Qin Yao felt her face started to twitched.

She wondered what the mother and daughter were up to? Seeing their fake smile, Li Qin Yao could guess that it will not be anything good. ”Second Auntie, you're right. Mu Chen and I have not hung out together for years.”

Li Mu Chen's eyes brightened at the thought that her cousin had taken her bait.

Li Qin Yao turned to her cousin and winced as she looked at the glittery dress her cousin was wearing. Then, she continued, ”The last time Li Mu Chen and I hangout were at her fifteenth birthday party.”

How can she not remember how well Li Mu Chen had treated her at the party?

Li Mu Chen was only two months older than her. Because of that, everyone thought they would get along well. Her father told her to stay close to Li Mu Chen before he went away to find Li Ren Xin to discuss work.

At that time, her parents divorced was finalized. When the adults were not present, Li Mu Chen tried to humiliate her in front of her friends. In the end, Li Qin Yao only hid in her room, called her mom, and cried. She remembered how angry she was that her parents chose to separate.

A few days later, Xu Yilan showed up and took her to B City. That year, she stayed with her mother for a few months and celebrated her birthday with her mother and a few close friends.

The smile on both mother and daughter quickly disappeared. Just a while ago, Zhao Wei had mentioned how the cousins were close; however, the last time they hang out together was ten years ago. If others heard Zhao Wei's words, won't they start to think about how she was pretentious?
