Chapter 152 A Stupid Girl

In life, sometimes, things didn't turn out the way we expected. Right this time, Ashley didn't want to see
Lena, but due to some twist of fate, they still ran into each other.

Ashley drank some juice and ate a lot at the party. Thus she slowly rubbed her full stomach and
decided to take a walk to relieve herself from indigestion.

Before she stood up, she especially took a glance at Lena and then walked in the opposite direction.
Unfortunately, no matter what she would do to avoid her, she still met Lena along the way. It seemed
that their paths were destined to cross today no matter what she did.

Facing her this time, and looking at her beaming yet sarcastic face, Ashley thought, 'How ironic it is to
run into Lena this way!'

On the other hand, Lena, when she saw Ashley, was very happy and hurriedly held her arm. But
Ashley glanced at her with a poker face. Not intending to insult her in any way, she carefully pulled her
hand out of Lena's grip while giving her a sheepish smile.

For the occasion, Lena wore a white flowing dress, whose edges were placed with a lot of small
diamonds. Under the bright lights, the sparkly diamonds attracted almost everyone's attention.

With a tiara on her head, Lena wore her hair up and some were hung down next to her ear, which
made her look like a princess. With the 10-centimeter high-heeled shoes, her legs looked even more
slender and sexier.

Perfecting her look was her snow-white skin and she was wearing delicate makeup.

If other women would dress up like that, they would look strange and ugly. But Lena, however, being
the elegant and glamorous as she was, carried the attire with some elite finesse. Ashley knew that



Lena was different and she always wanted to stand out and be the center of attention. At that moment,
Lena really looked like a princess. Without a doubt, she was a beautiful and attractive girl.

While Ashley wore an ankle-deep mauve long dress. She let her smooth black hair down around her
shoulders randomly. With a touch of powder on her delicate face, she looked so youthful and gorgeous.
She put on a little lipstick and wore a pair of white flats.

Without any decorations on her simple dress, it looked very plain and simple. But Ashley was born with
confidence and grace. Therefore, though she just wore a plain dress, she still looked beautiful.

Putting it more accurately, Ashley looked more beautiful than Lena.

As she stood beside her, Ashley stared at Lena quietly with an expressionless face, which made Lena
feel a little bit awkward.

Every time Lena took notice of Ashley's eyes, she always had the feeling that Ashley knew what she
was thinking.

Thus to break on the chills that she was feeling towards Ashley, with a shining smile on her face, Lena
said, "Ashley, I can't believe you're here! When I failed to find you just now, I thought you couldn't make
it." Just now Lena wanted to hold her arm but Ashley waved her away. Lena didn't get angry with
Ashley at all for her doing that. Thankfully not everyone's attention was with them, or else they would
stir gossips. Looking around and observing the guests around them, she glanced at Ashley warmly. Her
behavior would make the people who didn't know what had happened between them think that they
were best friends.

However, Ashley was familiar with her and she knew that Lena just pretended to be nice to her.

"Yeah, I'm here," short with her words, Ashley replied indifferently.



Then she looked up at Lena and asked, "Anything else?" Her voice sounded very calm yet deep inside
she just wanted to get rid of the insinuating woman in front of her and just be out of her presence.

Seeing that Ashley didn't want to talk with her, an embarrassed look appeared on Lena's face. But she
quickly changed it into a happy one.

Then she continued gently, "Ashley, both our father and mother are here. Let's meet them together."
After these words, Lena stretched out to hold Ashley's arm.

But Ashley took a step back. She looked at Lena and said with a coy smile, "Well, if I remember it right,
I have already separated myself from the Mu family. I don't have anything to do with your parents now."

At the far corner, looking at the scene, Johnny felt relieved. He was worried about Ashley the whole
night. But from what had happened just now, he knew that she barely even cared about Lena and
Raymond now. Furthermore, by the way, she was acting right now, Johnny was confident that she
could handle herself right in case anything would happen.

Lena looked at Ashley in surprise, saying, "Ashley, what are you talking about? How is that possible?
You're my elder sister. You're family. You will always be a member of the Mu family!

Ashley, what makes you say that? Did I do something wrong?" With the corners of her mouth twitched
a little, Lena looked at Ashley with tears in her eyes.

Judging from the expression on Lena's face, Ashley sensed that she didn't pretend to be surprised. So
Ashley thought, 'Didn't Peggy tell her about it?'

Before Ashley figured it out, her thoughts were interrupted by a derisive voice.

"Are you Lena's elder sister?"



Ashley tilted her head a little and saw a pretty young girl, who was wearing a light green dress. With
her chin raised a little, she moved in front of Lena and looked at Ashley with disdain.

Before Ashley could say something, Lena looked at the girl in front of her and stated, "Teresa, what are
you doing? She is my sister. You can't be rude to her."

"Lena, you consider her as your sister. But do you notice her attitude towards you? She is such an
ungrateful woman. Right now she even wants to separate herself from the Mu family. Your parents
raised her but she's never thought about repaying them. What an ungrateful girl she is! Why are you
still treating her so well?

Lena, I think you're too soft on her. You're such a kind girl," Teresa stated. With the words
spontaneously coming out of the girl's mouth, Ashley was taken aback. Teresa looked at Lena and
consoled her with her hands.

It seemed that Teresa had said everything that was on Lena's head. So she stood there with an
awkward face. She fixed her eyes on Ashley and then moved on to Teresa. It looked like she was about
to say something but finally didn't continue.

After taking a look at Lena's face, Teresa couldn't help but say, "Lena, don't worry about it anymore.
Don't bother to have more talks with her. Anyway, she won't appreciate it. Or even worse, maybe she is
blaming you in her heart."

As the future daughter-in-law of the Luo family, everyone in the party knew Lena. Although everyone
that attended the party was all wealthy and powerful, they also liked gossips. Seeing that Lena was in
between sobs right now, all of a sudden, they looked in Lena's direction.

When they saw Ashley, a glimmer of surprise flashed in their eyes.



"Who is that girl? How beautiful! I've never seen her before," one person said.

"You mean the girl in the long dress? I heard that she is the adopted daughter of the Mu family. Lena
said that she is her elder sister. But just now that girl mentioned that she has nothing to do with the
family now. I don't know why," in a low, whispered voice, another person responded.

"Well, maybe she has met someone wealthier than the Mu family," just inches away from them, a
woman, whose eyes flared with jealousy, looked at Ashley and said.

"Don't be so sure. Maybe you guessed wrong," another person frowned and denied what the woman
had said just now.

"I think I didn't get her wrong. Just take a look at her dress. It looks plain and simple. But do you know
the brand of it?" that woman argued.

"Then tell us what brand it is," the person dared her. A group of people looked at the woman when they
heard that she mentioned the brand of Ashley's dress. All were in awe hearing what she had just said.
In fact, Ashley's dress looked plain and simple, but it was really beautiful. Thus every woman in the
room was interested in it.
