CHAPTER 91
As soon as she left, she heaved a sigh of relief and moved towards where she saw Ye Cheng some seconds ago.
As she walked on, she got several stares from both the men and the ladies. Just when she got to the big table filled with drinks and food atop it in the hall, Several girls walked in front of Li Jing and blocked her path.
"Sorry, please can you excuse me. I am in a hurry."
The girls looked at each other and burst into laughter. "Yu Xuilan, look at her open her mouth to speak to us." The girl in front putting on a white strapless gown said.
"Be careful Yu Xiang, or else garbage may sprout out." Another girl putting on a similar outfit to the first but cream coloured, replied.
"Zhang Ai, just because she came with Ye Cheng she thinks she belongs in our class." Another girl added as she eyed Li Jing from top to bottom and then up again.
Upon hearing their statements, Li Jing frowned.
'Just who are these busybodies talking to?' Li Jing asked in her mind.
"I am sorry, do I know you?"
Ghan!
Like the sound of broken glass, both girls widened from her words. Does she know them? Just who in the city did not know them?
Of course, Li Jing was familiar with the terrible twins, the Yu sisters. Their names and way of life were a regular on trending news in the city.
Their father owned one of the biggest companies in the city. In rank, they were among the top ten richest people in the city and thought they ruled other girls because of it.
So hearing Li Jing asked that, was like a huge blow to their faces.
"Excuse me, I do not have time for this."
"You think you can ignore us and leave? Who is your father anyway?" Yu Xiang asked.
"None of your business."
Just as Li Jing was about walking around and passed them, another voice spoke, making her stop in her tracks.
"And if it isn't Li Jing."
Li Jing turned around only for her eyes to meet with the last person on earth she wanted to see.
"Li Xiu." She made sure her disgust was laced in her voice for her sister to know she was least pleased to see her.
"Is that how mannerless you have become? Just because you wore fancy clothes and pieces of jewelry, you think you are on top of the world huh?"
"And how does my dressing affect you?" Li Jing spat back.

"Looks like this Li Jing has a sharp tongue that needs to be cut off," Yu Xuilan chipped in.
Li Jing shot her a glare before returning her gaze to her sister. She was okay with the fact that they did not know her name, but Li Xiu just had to come and open her big mouth.
It was as though she did so intentionally to cause trouble for her. She knew these sisters would not let her be now that they knew her name.
"You do not belong here, never have you been and never would you be, Li Jing. Face it, you are only trying to catch up to me."
"Up till now, you are still this full of yourself, Li Xiu. I wonder when you would change."
"I should be saying that to you. How did you manage to get in here and afford such a million-dollar outfit? Who did you sleep with and whore your way into this party with?"
'Good talk Li Xiu, make her feel useless and I might allow you to join our circle," Yu Xiulan thought inwardly.
This game was already too amusing for her and she was more than happy to see Li Jing disgraced.
Li Jing was done condoling her sister's rubbish. It seemed that the slap she gave to her the last time was not even close to being enough. Perhaps giving her another one would ring a bell that she was not a cheap whore like her.
Just when she was about replying her, a tall figure walked up to them and stood behind her.
All the other girls immediately gulped at the sight of the magnificent person at Li Jing's back.
Li Jing who had still not noticed who it was that was behind her was confused at their change of expressions.
'Now what ghost have these girls seen to make them look this way?' No sooner had she thought of that than a masculine voice resounded at her back.
"Hello, Li Jing."
Her heart stopped beating for a second and her mind flew away at the familiar sound. She knew that voice. There was no doubt about it or to whom it belonged to.
Slowly, she turned her body a bit behind, to see the person she wished would not be who it was.
Immediately her eyes landed on him, subconsciously she held her breath. Her shock or fear was as a result of how she was going to reply to him.
"What are you doing here?" the man asked, making the other girls chuckle and Li Jing's frown to deepen. "With these girls," he quickly added to correct his earlier question.
Hearing him ask that, Yu Xuilan and her crew all turned sour at his remark while Li Jing's face finally relaxed.
"Tang Zixin, nice to meet you here. I was just passing when they blocked me."
All the girls had their hearts in their mouths when Li Jing mentioned they blocked her. This was Tang Zixin, one of the top ten richest bachelors in the city and his family's company was among the top ten richest companies in the city.
No matter how much they may try to deny it, they never wanted to get in his black book as most of them admired him and wished he would look their way, even if it was just once.
"I see," he averted his gaze from Li Jing and took in all the girls one after the other as though he was mentally taking note of them. "Are they bullying you?"
