Chapter 588: 588
“Allegedly, Miss . ” When Lexi corrected, she didn’t wait for the woman to recover as she began entering the venue .
She was amused that the woman was a daredevil . Both knew the risk of asking the question not using cautionary words .
After all, Ethan Lu was a powerful tycoon . Therefore, he could sue the woman and press charges to her home network .
Lexi merely shut her down by those two words . She would be a hypocrite if she said it was for the woman’s sake . But, as a warning for pressing on the matter with misleading words .
Because of the woman, Lexi gradually felt the sense of being confident in front of the cameras . She could still play words and pick up the things she usually does in the past .
However, just as Lexi was on the entrance, she heard another loud uproar behind her . Turning to see who could it be out of curiosity, Lexi stopped her brows from arching seeing the elegant and noble-looking Laurel Wang .
‘So, she came . ‘ Lexi thought inwardly before she turned and continued her way to inside . Despite knowing why Laurel Wang took quite the attention, Lexi was uninterested with whatever statement Laurel Wang would say .
When Lexi made her entrance in the hall, as expected, a glamorous setting welcomed her . Tycoons from different fields, famous celebrities, and almost everyone from the upper echelon were present .
Although Lexi was already a businesswoman of her own company, the vibes from the businessmen and women gave off a different aura . For some reason, Lexi felt like a small time business owner as she stared at the group of men not far away from her .
Sure, Lexi has wealth but she knew, deep down, her wealth couldn’t compare to these people . For a moment, Lexi forgot that her husband was one of the wealthiest and the most influential tycoons .

She didn’t even think that the men she was admiring now was currying favor from Ethan Lu .
No one could blame her though . Ethan Lu was like a clingy bundle of sweetness — completely the opposite to these people . It was one of the reason why Lexi fell for him .
Ethan Lu was a warm and gentle person . He had changed himself for her and helped her mature to a woman she is today .
While the businessmen she was admiring now were like Morris Liu . Intimidating .
“Miss Yang! You came!” Suddenly, Lexi heard Diane Huang’s voice coming from her side . Turning to face her, Lexi smiled as she watched the gorgeous lady in a champagne dress approached .
“How can I not?” When Diane Huang stopped in front of her, Lexi said . “Happy birthday, Miss Huang . ”
“Oh dear, why do you sound so formal? Sister Diane — we’re friends, remember?” Sounding friendly as usual, Diane Huang corrected as she forgot to clear this with Lexi the last time .
If only Ethan Lu didn’t snatch her away, Diane Huang was certain that she would be close friends with Lexi . Sadly, Ethan Lu was overly protective on Lexi, thus he even see her as his competition .
What a poor, deeply in loved man .
“I — Yes, my pleasure of being your friend . ” Lexi was about to say something but chose to accept this new friendship that was shoved to her .
It was not like she didn’t like Diane Huang . But, Lexi was certain that she was only being friendly because of Ethan Lu . Little did she know, Lexi was Diane’s type .
“Anyway, come on since your date is not here yet — I’ll introduce you to people . ” Pleased that Lexi was understanding, Diane Huang linked arms with her as she dragged Lexi to a certain direction .

Since it was Diane Huang’s party, she almost knew everyone . Hence, as she dragged Lexi somewhere, they were greeted by some guest . It was evident in their eyes that they were baffled why Lexi was being treated differently by her .
“Hey~” Reaching a certain cluster of men, Diane Huang approached while Lexi stared at each and everyone of them .
Lexi recognized some of them, as these people excelled in their fields . Business magnate that were beyond her reach, some young remarkable politicians, and professionals that were famous due to their achievements .
If Lexi admired a group of businessmen earlier, these group were people she should worship . Their aura was completely different from the rest; as if pure-blooded royal vampires in a vampire movies, or a group of noble princes that a peasant could not afford to stain their shoes .
“Diane, happy birthday!” Meanwhile, when Diane and Lexi reached the group, they turned to the two gorgeous ladies, and one of them exclaimed .
“Thank you,” Smiling back, Diane Huang winked as she saw the men shifted their gaze on the beauty next to her .
By the looks of it, some of them didn’t recognize Lexi despite being an actress in the past . Some showed interest as they discreetly sized Lexi from her to toe .
“This is Lexi, Lexi Yang my new friend . She’s the owner of Beauty DR . ” Seeing their reaction as they first studied Lexi, Diane Huang rolled her eyes before she introduced Lexi .
“Pleasure to meet you . ” Lexi slightly bowed her head as a greeting despite their sudden silence . Lexi didn’t have the leisure to think what they had in mind currently as she wanted to leave a good impression on these remarkable people .
“Beauty DR? It’s yours?” As Lexi raised her head, one of the men in suit smiled as he tilted his head to the side . The small mole on the outer corner of his eye highlighted his sharp eyes and thick, fleek brows .
When Lexi met his eyes, she smiled as an answer .
“My ex used that product — all those pink sets . ” The man added which made them chuckle . “Well, now I know why it was called Beauty DR; the owner is a beauty, indeed . ” As they chuckle, the man added as his thin lips curled to the side .
“No, no, flirting Zack . ” Cringing, Diane Huang raised her forefinger as she shook it sideways . Yet, Diane Huang was the only person who didn’t like the joke . . . rather, she was the only person in that circle that showed disapproval about his sudden advances .
Lexi just chose to ignore it as she took it as a joke . Still, she appreciated that Diane Huang spoke her mind .
