Chapter 16：Go For the Birthday Celebration

The sky was turning dark, but the winding road to Di An Avenue was lit up with street lights like a sea of stars.

The luxurious mansion on the top of the hill on Di An Avenue was the venue for old Mrs. Lu's birthday celebration.

After the bodyguard team meticulously checked Tang Xinluo's invitation card, they invited her into the yard politely.

The Lu family's old mansion was huge as the yard included a golf course, a swimming pool, a garden, a cellar, a lounge, a parking lot… a private movie theater. Long story short, it had all the facilities a luxurious mansion should.

The car followed the directions and stopped outside the mansion to allow Tang Xinluo to get down elegantly. Once she stood still, she heard the gasps from people around her.

Did her dress have a hole?

Tang Xinluo carefully looked down to check her outfit. Great, it had no problem, which meant that the problem did not lie with her.

She raised her head and ignored the rest. After passing the present to the butler, she smiled and entered the Lu family's old mansion.

After she left…

"Was that… Tang family's Tang Xinluo?"

A socialite that got off after Tang Xinluo pulled on the sleeve of her best friend in disbelief.

"Yes, I think so…"

"Did she go for plastic surgery? She looks too good…"

"I bet she did. If not, why would there be such a change…?"

"I bet it's because she took off her spectacles. I remember that she would always wear her black-framed spectacles in the past, which made her look pristine and ancient. I didn't expect her to look so different after she took off her glasses."

"There can't be such a big difference after she takes off her spectacles… I still think she went for plastic surgery."

Tang Xinluo could somewhat already feel that everyone was talking about her, but she did not hesitate; she straightened her back and walked forward.

She walked forward in big steps and no longer wanted to be the mistress of the Tang family that was low-key and ancient in other people's eyes. She did not want other people to think that the Lu family and Lu Qinghao had suffered a lot for letting her into their family.

She long knew the rumors outside said that she was pristine, ancient, and boring.

Tang Xinluo admitted that in the past—in order to make her mother feel safe, she did appear in front of other people as the secure and dependable successor to the Tang Enterprise.

However, today, she did not need to disguise herself or suffer for anyone.

She took off her black-framed spectacles from a few years ago and specifically made a pair of contact lenses. Even though she was not too used to it, Tang Xinluo wanted everyone else to know who did not deserve the other… between her and Lu Qinghao.

Tang Xinluo stepped on the jade stairs step by step and followed the server into the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, everyone was dressed to the nines and moving.

In the large banquet hall, there was a band specially hired to play at the corner. On the long table that looked like a cloud, all sorts of alcohol, treats, and exquisite snacks were on it.

She walked past the dance floor and saw old Mrs. Lu surrounded in the center.

Around her, circles of people were wishing her well.

At this time, Gong Xuemei was at the outermost circle. Even if she was the wife of the subset of the Lu family, it was not her turn yet to talk in front of the old Mrs. Lu.

"Ms. Tang, Old Madam specifically instructed us to bring you to see her once you arrive."

The person who led Tang Xinluo in was already instructed by Old Mrs. Lu earlier on. Old Mrs. Lu was on good terms with Tang Xinluo's mother so she was, of course, caring towards Tang Xinluo.

"Sorry for the trouble." Tang Xinluo nodded slightly, held up her dress, and followed the waitress.

She did not know that the posture of her holding up her dress was accidentally seen by someone special.
