The hushed murmurs from the guests halted immediately as they took in Lixue's appearance. She was stunning, her elegant dress fitting her perfectly, a reflection of her poise and quiet confidence. The room seemed to momentarily freeze as every eye turned toward her.
"Who is that?" one of the relatives whispered, clearly surprised. "She's beautiful."
"She's… Lixue, right? The illegitimate daughter?" another voice added, but this time, there was a tinge of disbelief. It wasn't every day that someone like Lixue could command attention with such grace.
Lixue could feel their gazes upon her, some impressed, others appraising. Yu Jia quickly took control of the situation, shooting her a knowing smile before turning to greet the guests. "Lixue, don't worry about them. They're just fascinated by how gorgeous you are."
