Chapter 270 The Reunion Party
Chapter 270 The Reunion Party
"My Lady, you are gorgeous! I envy your beauty."
Linda blushed slightly at Anna's praise.
Her face almost recovered, but still looked a little different from the original.
It needed more time to recover completely.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Linda muttered, "Charles, we are going to reunite soon."
Only God knew how much she missed Charles.
Stated on the invitation, the celebration was for the return of Lord Nalan's long-lost granddaughter,
Haley Nalan.
All the guests wondered why was this long-lost granddaughter highly valued by Lord Nalan.
They were interested to meet this Lady Haley in person. Given that Charles was also invited to the
party, Anna wasn't going to accompany Linda to the party.
She had been working for Mu clan's private hospital for many years since Lord Mu sponsored her to
finish medical course abroad.
She was known as a Mu clan employee. Her showing up at Nalan clan's party with Haley Nalan would
cause suspicion.
She thought it was too early to let Young Master Mu know their scheme.
"I am sorry, My Lady. I can't accompany you to the party. How about letting Lily go with you?" said
Anna.
"It's okay. I understand." Linda said with a smile as she patted Anna's hand.
Anna turned to Lily and said, "Lily, you need to wear an evening dress for the party. Lord Nalan sent My
Lady several pieces the other day. They are in the closet. You can pick any dress that you like."
Lily sheepishly said, "Oh no, I have never worn an evening dress before. It would be better if you go
with My Lady."
Lily was afraid of making a show of herself at the party.
"No, I can't. Lily, please take care of My Lady tonight." Anna said.
Hearing Anna's words, Lily was confused.
"Why can't Anna go to the party?" She asked.
Lily had just knew Linda and Anna. She had no idea of Anna's relationship with Mu clan. She assumed
that Anna had been with Linda.
Their relationship with Mu clan and Qi clan was quite complicated. Linda had no time to explain to Lilly
right now. "I will tell you everything, but not today. Now, you only need to do as I say and follow me, "?
said Linda.
"Okay." Lily was clever. She didn't pry.
At six o'clock p.m.
Guests began to arrive at the Nalan mansion.
The head table was reserved for Nalan family members only.
Only Lord Nalan was sitting there when Rosy arrived at the hall. She asked, "Grandpa, where is
Haley?"
Lord Nalan seemed to be in a good mood. He replied with a smile, "She might still be in her room,
getting ready. There's no need to rush." After hearing Lord Nalan's words, Rosy became upset. But she
didn't dare to speak ill of Linda in front of him. She sat several seats away from Lord Nalan and
muttered, "Humph!
Who is she to be late? This is ridiculous!"
"Rosy, what are you muttering?" Lord Nalan asked.
His hearing was not good due to old age. But he could see that Rosy was speaking.
"Nothing, Grandpa. I didn't say anything." Rosy said, shaking her head in denial.
After a while, Devin, Felix and Lenny had arrived.
The party was about to begin soon, but Linda still hadn't showed up. Lord Nalan asked Nelson to go to
Linda Garden to check on her.
Nelson went to Linda Garden and found Lily in a snow white evening dress.
Lily looked so beautiful that Nelson couldn't shift his gaze away from her.
Noticing Nelson's gaze of admiration, Lily blushed.
"Lily, you look gorgeous today." Nelson said as he swiftly stroke his hair with his hand. "I know.
I am gorgeous everyday." Lily replied with pride. Lily immediately regretted what she had said.
She realized she should have acted as reserved as the other ladies.
Nelson displayed an awkward smile.
Then, he turned to Linda and said, "Lady Haley, Lord Nalan said the party is about to begin. You best
be on your way."
"Okay. I am ready, " said Linda.
Linda stepped into the hall and glanced around.
Most of the attendees were either successful businessmen or big shots from all walks of life.
Seeing Lord Nalan and Rosy sitting around the head table, Linda walked towards them, with Lily by her
side.
Seeing a beautiful young lady walking towards the head table, guests guessed this lady was very likely
to be Lady Haley.
Rosy, who was in a light blue evening dress, saw Linda too.
She noticed that Linda had the same dress colour as hers. Although the two dresses differed in style,
Rosy felt overshadowed by Linda.
Linda had no make-up at all, unlike Rosy who had heavy make-up on. Linda looked more pure and
approachable.
Linda sat down beside Lord Nalan and greeted him in a sweet voice, "Good evening, Grandpa."
Lord Nalan beamed at her.
Then he glanced over the crowd and caught some young men stealing glimpses of Linda from time to
time. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
