Only you in my love

Chapter 890 Gossip Behind Michelle

Moon was at the top of the tree and stars were scattered in the sky. Starlight at night blended with the

bright lights of the castle.

Outside the luxurious castle, there were all kinds of luxurious cars. The Nangong family held a dinner

party to welcome the former female count of their family.

Generally speaking, the people who attended the party were young people, but the people who came

to the dinner tonight were all elders. They were all dignified figures in the C Island.

Even Mr. Qin, who didn't like parties, came with a pleasant face.

In the upper class, people would bond in every dinner party, especially the party held by Count

Nangong. There were many big shots.

The elders would definitely bring their juniors here.

The elders were all fond of quietness, so they were arranged to sit comfortably in the room, and the

younger generation stayed outside for fun.

There were swimming pool, fountain, wine and music, and people were all toasting to each other.

The party hadn't started yet. It was Mona's party tonight, and she had already greeted every elders in

the hall with Michelle.

Michelle had a pure baby face. Even though she was 25 years old, people would not feel strange even

if she dressed up as a high school student of seventeen or eighteen years old. His smile was sweet,

showing her cute teeth. She was a delightful girl.

Wearing a beautiful princess dress, she looked like a lovely little princess, and her silver tongue

delighted the elders a lot.

Mona stayed to greet her old friends and asked Michelle to make friends by herself.

When Michelle went out, she saw people around gathered together and talked about the female count

curiously.

The younger generation were too young to know anything about the female count. They all listened to

the elders' stories.

Mona became famous at a young age, but she then lost everything she had in her twenties. After the

accident, she had to escape to another country. Later, her biological brother refused to talk about her

stories in public and said that it would only rekindle some painful memories, so few people knew

Mona's achievements and stories.

Even though they were all good friends of Mona, they had almost forgotten about Mona's old stories in

their declining years. So when they told the younger generation about Mona's stories in their families,

they could generally say that Mona was a brave female count who was not inferior to men at that time.

They told their children that Mona had helped the civilian a lot, and that they were all heavily indebted

to her.

Therefore, although the younger generation gathered together, they didn't have much things to talk

about. Someone suddenly shifted the topic to the granddaughter of the female count.

Although the elders didn't dare to talk about it, the younger generations dared to gossip about their

peers.

The reason why Michelle came to C Island with her grandmother was that she wanted to marry Leon

as the relative of the Nangong family. Then they would be barely equal in social status, and there would

be less disputes.

Therefore, Michelle was not surprised that the news about her was spread out. She even stood aside

and pricked up her ears to listen their conversation.

Everyone focused on the gossip and didn't notice Michelle.

"Mrs. Mona didn't bring her children here but take her granddaughter back to our country. Have you

seen that girl? What kind of person is she?"

"No, I didn't."

"I'm also curious about the appearance of Mrs. Mona's granddaughter."

"They are also the relatives of the Nangong family. Why not ask them?" Someone smiled and looked at

Addie and Leda who raised their glasses in the distance.

The girl raised her glass, smiled and greeted them in silence. Addie then whispered to the people next

to her and walked over.

"Livia, long time no see."

"Long time no see, my old classmate." Livia Xu clinked glasses with Addie with a smile and introduced,

"This is Addie, she came back not long ago and is the cousin of Count Nangong."

Michelle had not only heard of Addie, but also had used Addie and Leda's name to attend the party

held by the Yin family with Caroline before.

With gratitude, Michelle favored Addie with a friendly smile.

Addie and Leda were seldom at home, so they didn't know many girls of noble families. They thought

that since Michelle was able to attend the party held by Count Nangong, she must have a high status,

so they also greeted Michelle with a smile politely.

Livia Xu asked, "Addie, there is another relative in the Nangong family. Have you seen her?"

"Mrs. Mona's granddaughter?" Addie glanced at the curious eyes of the crowd, took a sip of wine and

said, "Yes."

Michelle was stunned. She couldn't remember where she had seen Addie. She then searched all the

memories in her mind and concluded that she hadn't met Addie before.

Maybe Addie had seen her, but she hadn't greeted her.

"What kind of person is she?" Livia Xu asked.

Addie said without hesitation, "I don't know how to describe her."

But her ambiguous answer couldn't satisfy their curiosity at all. Someone asked, "How old is she?

Where is she come from?"

That person asked these two questions eagerly as if she was going to have a blind date with Michelle.

Michelle couldn't help laughing. Fortunately, it didn't attract everyone's attention.

Addie said lightly, "She is about the same age as us. I heard that her family is very poor. She is a

country girl."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

Michelle frowned, but thought what Addie said was right. Compared with the families of everyone

present, her family was indeed not rich.

Her eyebrows then relaxed again.

"Country girl?" Some people showed disdain on their faces. In the upper class, those girls from

powerful families all led a rich and luxurious life, and they still had bias against the countryside and

thought that they were poor, ignoble and suburban.

Livia sneered, "Does Mrs. Mona want to find a rich husband for her here?"

"Who knows?" Addie said, "Mrs. Mona didn't bring her children here, but her granddaughter."

The implication was that Addie agreed with what Livia said.

Someone suddenly laughed and mocked, "No one likes a country girl. She knows nothing and it's

shameful to take her out."

"But she is now the relative of the Nangong family. Many people want to marry into the Nangong

family." Livia said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Do you think she doesn't even know what red wine is?"

The crowd snickered and Addie smiled imperceptibly.

Michelle knew that they were mocking her. In fact, she could pretend not to hear them, in case they

would hate her.

However, Nini had told her that it was not easy to settle things in peace. Many people bullied the weak

and feared the strong, especially the pampered children of rich families. They bullied people who were

weaker than them because of their family background, and treated people who were superior to them

with respect.

Even if they didn't get along well with each other, they would still show respect on the surface and didn't

dare to make fun of others like now.

"I'm sorry," Michelle said. Everyone turned to look at her. They didn't notice that Michelle was here until

now. "I know what red wine is."

"You have a glass of red wine in your hand. We can see that you know what red wine is." Livia asked,

"I haven't seen you before. Which family are you from?"

Michelle smiled at them and said, "My name is Michelle, and I'm the relative of Nangong family you

mentioned."

Michelle had heard all the bad words they said behind her back.

Everyone's smile froze on their faces, including Livia and Addie. The two of them were the most

embarrassed.

They mocked that Michelle was just a country girl who had never seen much of the world, and just a Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

second ago, Livia even asked Michelle which family she was from.

It was a deep embarrassment for them.

Addie forced a smile. In fact, she had never seen Michelle before. She was just a little angry when her

cousin often mentioned Michelle recently.

She and Leda were Vicente's cousins, but Michelle suddenly appeared in the family.

The Xuan family didn't have a good family background in the C Island. They were able to freely attend

all kinds of dinner parties in the upper class because their aunt was the mother of Count Nangong, and

they were the cousins of the Nangong family.

"My parents are scientific researchers. Our family is not as rich as yours, but people in my family are

knowledgeable." Michelle kept smiling, her eyes were pure and cute.

From head to toe, Michelle didn't look like a rustic as they had imagined.
