Chapter 1121: Chapter 1121: Two Beggars Suddenly Came In
The lights around suddenly brightened, and the hall returned to its resplendent state.
The emcee timely appeared to announce, "KM’s charity dinner has now begun; distinguished guests, please enjoy yourselves."
As his voice fell, people immediately began to drift into the dance floor in twos and threes.
More people walked towards the ones they had initially targeted for conversation, holding the champagne offered by the waiters passing by.
Li Beijue was the least patient with this kind of socializing, but as one of the initiators of the charity dinner, he couldn’t just leave with Chi Enen after the opening dance like at other occasions. No matter how impatient, he had to bear it and handle the various people approaching to establish connections.
His personality was something that those who had interacted with him basically knew. Even those who hadn’t had the chance had heard about it from others.
So they weren’t too surprised by Li Beijue’s indifferent attitude.
Their main curiosity was centered on Chi Enen, and the topics mostly revolved around her.
Chi Enen appeared calm and composed, answering every kind of question in the most comfortable way possible.
In just half an hour, many people’s impression of her shifted significantly from seeing her as an illegitimate daughter.
Scarlett was chatting with a few familiar top socialites, occasionally sipping champagne and glancing towards Chi Enen.
There was a hint of annoyance in her eyes.
A best friend who got along well with her noticed her gaze, followed it, and upon seeing Chi Enen, said, "Scarlett, you didn’t expect Young Master Li to bring this woman here, right? Honestly, I didn’t either. What do you think this woman is, what qualifies her to be in this place? It’s like a sparrow that’s suddenly landed on a branch, turning into a phoenix. Look at those people around her; isn’t it all for Young Master Li’s sake?"
"Exactly, I really can’t stand her like that."
"She looks good, her character seems nice too; she must have something special. Otherwise, Young Master Li wouldn’t like her," said one person finally taking a neutral stance.
Scarlett’s best friend immediately retorted, "A woman with such a background, what’s special about her? The ones I’ve met are mostly cunning. Young Master Li has most likely been tricked by her!"
The person who got retorted wasn’t having it and immediately retorted back, "If Young Master Li were that easy to fool, how come no one has managed to do so all these years?"
Scarlett, annoyed by their quarrel, interrupted the two at odds by saying, "We’ll soon know what kind of person she is."
"What do you mean?"
Several eyes simultaneously turned towards her, and Scarlett realized she had let something slip, blinking to cover up, "The future mistress of the Li family has appeared, so media reporters should soon follow up on Miss Chi’s news, right? Then you’ll know by reading the news."
The group vaguely felt that she didn’t mean that, but couldn’t pinpoint what was strange.
As they were contemplating her words, suddenly, a commotion arose at the hall entrance.
Immediately following, a lady dressed in opulence screamed out, "Don’t come near me, where did this beggar come from! Security!"
Her screams and the commotion drew the gaze of everyone in the hall.
Two ragged, filthy people hurriedly stumbled in, as if they were fleeing from something.
