And soon, her guess was confirmed.
When Wen Huaiyan arrived at the banquet, it was not yet 11 o'clock.
Wen Zhi seemed to have known early on that Wen Huaiyan would be coming to celebrate her birthday, and was now waiting eagerly at the door.
However, all the joy in his heart vanished the moment he saw Li Ruo.
She pouted in dissatisfaction and strode over to the two of them: "Brother, why is she here too?"
"Wen Zhi!"
Sensing her reluctance, Wen Huaiyan frowned: "Mind your manners, she's my date today."
His tone remained indifferent, but the intention to protect him was self-evident.
Wen Zhi choked, feeling even more unbalanced.
Before Li Ruo appeared, her brother always doted on her. Although he didn't give her everything she wanted, he would never treat her this way because of an outsider.
Bitch...
She cursed inwardly, but a smile appeared on her face: "I was so surprised, considering what happened to Grandpa..."
As she spoke, she showed a troubled expression again.
But Li Ruo knew exactly what the other party wanted to say. Although many people already knew about her relationship with Wen Huaiyan, she had not yet broken off her relationship with Wen Changfeng.
Appearing at the banquet so openly alongside Wen Huaiyan might embarrass the Wen family.
Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at the man beside her.
As if sensing her gaze, Wen Huaiyan suddenly reached out and grabbed her, saying, "What kind of behavior is this, standing here all the time? Come inside."
"elder brother……"
Just as Wen Huaiyan finished speaking and was about to lead Li Ruo inside, Wen Zhi let out a soft cry of resentment, only to find that he didn't turn around. She immediately stomped her foot hard on the ground and hurriedly followed behind them.
The birthday banquet for the Wen family's little princess has always been a grand affair.
Although it's still early before the banquet starts, many guests have already arrived.
Wen Huaiyan attracted a lot of attention as soon as she appeared.
Even before they had stopped, some people approached with fawning smiles: "President Wen, I've heard so much about you. I'm Liu Tao from Renxin Group."
The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, but he was unusually warm and polite to Wen Huaiyan.
Li Ruo was not surprised by this.
With Wen Huaiyan's status, he would be highly sought after anywhere, while she, standing to the side, seemed somewhat out of place.
As more and more people gathered around, she gently pulled away from the man's large hand and tried to get away.
The moment she made a move, Wen Huaiyan's cold, dark eyes turned towards her.
He didn't speak, but Li Ruo still caught the question that flashed in his eyes.
"Mr. Wen, I'd like to go rest for a bit."
She doesn't like being surrounded by so many people; it makes her feel suffocated.
Seemingly noticing that her complexion was not good, Wen Huaiyan nodded almost imperceptibly and instructed, "Then go and rest for a while, I'll come find you later."
"good!"
Li Ruo readily agreed.
She struggled to break free from the crowd and had just slipped into a corner when a mocking voice suddenly came from behind her: "You're living quite the good life!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ruo paused in her hand, which was reaching for the wine glass, and turned around coldly.
Li Rao was staring at the necklace around her neck with a jealous look on her face: "Heart of the Blue Ocean, President Wen is so good to you, he even gave you something like this."
This necklace was designed by the famous designer Elan and uses the rare Paraiba gemstone, which is extremely rare.
Some time ago, it was exhibited at a jewelry auction and was bought by Wen Huaiyan for ten million yuan.
Originally, it was thought that the young master of the Wen family spent such a large sum of money to make a birthday gift for his sister, but unexpectedly, he wore it around Li Ruo's neck today.
That brat is really lucky!
"So what?"
Seeing her jealous expression, Li Ruo remained calm on the surface, but she couldn't help but be surprised inside.
She didn't know much about jewelry, and since the stylist had been so calm when he held the necklace, she hadn't paid much attention to it.
Who would have thought that this thing would be so valuable?
Don't get cocky!
Li Rao clenched her fists tightly, extremely displeased.
She hated it when the other person made that expression. They seemed to care about nothing, but in reality, they had to be shameless to get Wen Huaiyan's attention.
"Li Ruo, have some shame! You're nothing but a plaything. Do you really think he has any sincerity towards you? Once he gets tired of you, he'll throw you away sooner or later."
Li Ruo was already tired of hearing this. Ever since she found out that Li Ruo was with Wen Huaiyan, how many times had Li Ruo lost her composure?
This woman can only talk the talk now; she's practically no threat at all.
Li Ruo chuckled softly and suddenly moved closer: "Then at least before I'm thrown away, I definitely won't let you have an easy time!"
Her voice was soft, and the corners of her mouth were upturned with a hint of sweetness, making her look both charming and alluring.
But the coldness in his eyes made Li Rao shiver involuntarily.
She gasped, then demanded angrily, "What do you want to do?"
