CHAPTER 246

Kai Alix did not blame anyone as she knew nothing about the young miss other than her rumored kindness in the house.

"Okay, I would let this slide. Please take me to her. I need to see her and give her some encouragement."

"Sure. Please this way." Kai Alix stretched her hand in the direction of the stairs and led Yin Lifen away.

A couple of minutes later, Yin Lifen found herself on the third floor standing in front of one of the big doors on that floor.

The moment the doors pushed open and she walked in, her lips fell open as her mouth hung agape at the magnificent sight in front of her.

She had thought this building was already breathtaking but seeing the room that now belonged to her friend, Yin Lifen was left speechless.

About a minute later, Yin Lifen slowly moved her head to the side and followed after Kai Alix.

"Here we are." Kai Alix said to her before facing front and pulling the big curtain aside, knocked on the door twice then opened the door leading to Li Jing's bed chambers.

'Young miss, you have a visitor, Miss Yin Lifen is here."

'Let her in."

"Yes, ma." She stepped aside and allowed Yin Lifen in before closing the door and giving them some privacy.

Everything still felt like a dream to Yin Lifen. With each step she took, she felt her heart began to pound wildly in her chest.

Everything was different and it was now harder to imagine her friend living this life. Of course, she was happy for her but it was still overwhelming.

Finally, she looked up, turning her head to the two figures by her side. At the same time, Li Jing turned her head to the side to see her best friend.

"Hey, Fen Fen."

Yin Lifen became utterly speechless at the sight in front of her…

Back at the party, Mr. Lin walked into the hall from the stairs and garnered their attention then began to address his guests.

Meanwhile, Li Jing had been informed that it was time for her to make her appearance and she was ready. Ready to take the big step to her new life. No longer did she belong to the Li family. Now she was a daughter of the Lin family.

"Good evening everyone. I would like to thank you all for honoring my invitation today and join me to celebrate a joyous day and event in my life."

CLAP! CLAP!

"Thank you, thank you." The clapping died down and everyone's concentration remained on him. "Thank you very much. This party today, my friends, proved to me that when you keep hope alive, miracles would happen. As regards what I said, I would like to officially introduce to you all, my very own flesh and blood, my granddaughter, Li Jing!"

CLAP! CLAP!

As the crowd began to applaud her while awaiting the beautiful heiress, the lights in the big hall suddenly dimmed down, leaving only some neon lights on with a central bright spotlight at the entrance from the top of the stairs.

In no time after Mr. Lin announced her, the crowd could see a shimmering blush pink dress dance in the light followed by a leg which was covered by the magnificent flowing gown as Li Jing took the first step to the stairs.

Ever slowly, Li Jing lifted her head so that she could look at the waiting guests of influential men and women, young ladies and young men alike.

"Wow! So beautiful."

The crowd fell into a gasp the moment they laid eyes on her.

She was indeed beautiful and even those who had doubts of she really being Mr. Lin's granddaughter had no mouth to voice out their disbelief as they saw the family resemblance clearly written on her face.

Ever slowly, like a magnificent queen, Li Jing took her steps lightly as she descended down the stairs with her head held up high and her chest out, shoulders not slouched.

She was an epitome of beauty, grace, and elegance and everyone knew that even though she did not grow up with her grandfather, she still had that status inbred.

It was how her mother naturally carried herself like the life was made for her without putting in much effort.

All eyes remained glued to her like they were hypnotized till she placed her feet on the last staircase.

'Calm down Li Jing, do not forget to breathe, Li Jing reminded herself in her mind. It was the one word that Ye Cheng always told her and that had helped her in times like this when all eyes were fixed on her person.

Speaking of him, Li Jing's eyes slowly darted through the numerous faces in the audience as they scanned every face in hopes of seeing the one she held close to her heart but they were just too many and she could not spot him easily.

Her smile dropped a bit when she could not find him and instead she continued down the hall so as not to draw too much attention to her disappointed heart.

Li Jing soon became the center of attention in her gorgeous tail dress as she glided through the enormous hall by seducing everyone like a nymph.

Draped within the golden simmering dress she had been blessing the sinful eyes with her utmost beauty, which emphasized how finely she had grown up.

And the dress portrayed her class while she was the epitome of a graceful aristocrat. She was aware of what to choose to snag attention and approval, the dress was backless to lure the young tycoons into the trap while the cleavage was covered as a signal to the wives of businessmen that she wasn't a seductress.

The gemstones in the dress no doubt shrieked about her wealth with the matching diamond bracelet around her wrists to grace her beauty, the sparkle was heightened and Li Jing wore the attitude as her scythe while clad like a shrewd predator who was there to announce her victory!
