She happily came downstairs Mother Mu and father Mu were already done . Mother Mu was wearing a red coloured Qipao with white embroidery. She truly looked like the madam of the Mu family while father Mu wore a white suit with a red tie . "Grandfather you look very handsome even more dashing than father " She complimented.
"Yanyan you have such a sweet mouth" he said while pinching her cheeks .
He looked at Xinyan from head to toe . She really did look like her mother a truly beautiful lady with bright shining blue eyes. He really didn't know why this wife of his rejected her mother all because of familial status .
Soon Mu Xia came down with Xiner they both looked nice . Xia wore a cherry red suit with a white tie and white shoes .
Mo Yinan came out with Shen Yue wearing a wine red suit with a white dress shirt and a white tie and white shoes .
Shen Yue wore a white dress that was pleted from the navel down . She looked really arrogant . It was family filled with beautiful people .
They all stepped into the white limousine and off they were . They reached Gaven hotel at 4.30 PM a lot of limos were lined as different families stepped out and walked the red carpet with reporters capturing them and asking them questions . After about 30 minutes of waiting, it was finally their turn . Xinyan was very nervous but she still managed to step out of the car calmly . She walked elegantly and stood quietly for her pictures to be taken .
"Mrs Mu which brand are the girls wearing " a female reporter asked .
"Dreams it's a new brand " The reporters were shocked. It wasn't very popular of big families to wear a no name brand . They asked a few other questions before walking inside . The hall was huge with a large stage in the middle. Tables were all arranged around the stage . Every family would have their own table and there were a 4 large screens facing the four sides of the hall hanged above the stage . It looked very magnificent. Their table was kept close to that of the Gu family's and they were making small talk .
"Hi Xinyan "
She smiled at him kindly. He was quite taken aback by her smile it was like her smile made her look even more beautiful than ever . She looked amazingly beautiful . His face flushed and he just looked down and didn't say anything more . Mrs Gu noticed her son's shy expression.
"Sheng is she a friend of yours "
"We aren't friends actually she's just my seatmate ."
"well why aren't you friends " she knew her son as a social person. She wondered why
"She isn't friends to Mo Xuleo and since I'm Xuleo's friend we aren't friends " he explained to his mother .
Mrs Gu was happy with her son's decision. It was better to be friends with the girl from the Mo family than the girl from the Mu family . Soon the Mo family arrived. The reporters were so surprised because of Jiayi's dress . They knew that Xuleo was an illegitimate daughter and Jiayi was the real daughter . Which means this dreams brand must be a luxury brand. The red carpet was a live broadcast so now dreams brand was getting great exposure as two wealthy families had worn this brand .
Xuleo wore a short sleeveless red dress with heels . It was a dress from a brand that was common among the rich and wealthy. Everyone began browsing about Dreams .
"Yanyan, "
"Yiyi " the two girls hugged each other happily . Both were equally excited .
"you look beautiful "
"you too "
"Hi Xinyan " Xuleo said .
Xinyan directly ignored her . Later the Mo family left that area as their seats were placed on another angle .
"Sheng I thought you said the girl from the Mo family didn't like her " Mrs Gu asked .
"Yes Xuleo doesn't like her but Jiayi and her are best friends "
"rascal don't you know Xuleo is an illegitimate child . The only reason her family likes her so much is because she gets good grades and gets first place each term . You should befriend Xinyan so as to get close to Jiayi ."
"Yes mom I'll befriend her next term " Gu Yusheng said .
Next the Lu family came in . They were headed directly where the Mu family were .
"Yanyan you look ... " His gaze was fixed on her .
"stunning , beautiful. I know.You look nice too" she said nicely.
" You're so stingy with your compliments " he said with a pout .
" So childish. " His face got scrunched up even more .
" Okay you look amazingly handsome almost like a God "
"Almost "
"You know people who always praise their self are called narcissists "
"what's bad in loving yourself? " he said innocently .
"narcissist"
"really what's so bad about it ?"
" So ignorant. How are you so smart when you have apsolutely no self awareness " she said.
"Alright enough ,I'm a narcissist and you're right"
"When am I not right ?" she asked with a smile .
"Father can't we sit here instead ?" he asked his father . Seeing his son so happy, he agreed and the sat on a table that was nearly joined to theirs . Ofcourse Xinyan and Lu Song had the closest seats .
"Yusheng she's friends with young master Lu too " Mr Gu who had been watching them asked .
"Yes father she's the only person young master Lu talks too . When they had a fight because of Xuleo , he tried everything and begged her everyday for her forgiveness " Gu Yusheng said . It was the first time his parents showed interest in his school life so he gladly told them .
"Yusheng you should really be her friend now . How could you not be friends with her when she has such powerful friends " Mr Gu said surprised.
Anyways the event started .
"Welcome parents to the Junting school Christmas party . Please we hope you enjoy the various acts our children have put together for us . " Students and pupils started presenting all they had to show . It was very entertaining.
Mo Xuleo participated in a Cinderella drama .
Ofcourse a the main lead with Gu Yusheng as the prince . A little funny quirks had been added to the original script to make it more entertaining and Mo Xuleo's acting was superb . From her actions to the way she moved around . She was like a talented actress.
After that it was Jiayi and Xinyan's turn . They would be playing an English song by Ed Sheeran.
Jiayi would play the piano and Xinyan would sing .
"I found a girl
for me
darling just dive right in
and follow my lead
I found a woman
to carry more than just my secrets
to carry love
to carry children of our own own...
we were just kids when we fell in love
not knowing what love was
I will not give you up
this time
darling just kiss me slow
your love is all I own
I see my future in your eyes .
baby I'm
dancing in the dark
with you between my arms
barefoot on the grass
listening to our favourite song
when I saw you in that dress
I whispered underneath my breath
but you heard me darling you look perfect tonight . " the song was slow and calm and her voice perfectly fit the song . The second verse was sung by Jiayi . When they were both done , there was about 5 seconds of silence before they received a standing ovation then went back to their seats . Xuleo secretly glared at them .
If only glares could kill , she would be dead .
It took 2 hours and 30 minutes for all the presentations to be finished hen it was time for the prize giving ceremony .
