Chapter 638 Disturb Her
Who would have thought that the daughter they were just talking about would suddenly appear in the resting room with Mrs. Chen?
"Here, Raelle, you can sit down here," said Mrs. Chen. "I'll send something for you to drink."
"Can I get some juice please?" asked Raelle.
The way she asked even if Mrs. Chen had the thought of refusing wouldn't be able to do it. Not like she was planning on refusing her anyway. There was actually nothing really special about the way she asked for the juice. She just blinked her blank eyes at her that looked like bottomless pits and kept the tips of her lips curled up slightly and the tone of her voice was flat but still pleasant to hear.
"Of course," said Mrs. Chen. "By the way, are you okay here? How about I show you to a guest room and you lie down for a while?"
Raelle shook her head, "There is no need for that. I just don't like crowded places, so that's why I wanted to come here and sit down in silence for a while." Of course, she was only telling the half-truth right now. It was true that the crowd wasn't sitting well with her, it was also the fact that because of the heavy perfumes and smell of alcohol around her, she felt quite nauseous.
That's why she told Cloe to stay at the party while she tried to look for a silent place. Who knew she'll run into Mrs. Chen kindly brought her to the resting room, personally.
Mrs. Chen nodded in understanding, "I heard you don't like interacting with people. It seems you really don't like crowds."
Raelle could only maintain her smile in response. She really wanted to tell her that one of the biggest reasons she avoided parties was the fact that they were loud and not just crowdy. And let's not forget the fact that they were waste of time and quite troublesome!
But she knew after all these years that if she said it straight to the face of the host of the party, it'd not end well. She should really avoid offending people for one night. She was a civilized person anyway. It's not like she ever liked wasting her energy on arguments. She would rather use that energy to earn more money. Even though people have already started calling her money-hungry, it doesn't matter. Who didn't like more money? What's better than money? Obviously, more money!
As Mrs. Chen was about to leave, she looked at Song Xin'ai and Xiang Hulin, her smile broadened, "Xin'ai! What are you doing sitting here?" Then she looked at Xiang Hulin and added, "And General, is it okay for you to sit here?" Without waiting for their replies, she turned to Raelle and introduced her to both of them, "Anyway, meet Raelle Xiang. She is an exceptional lady. An inspiration." Then she even introduced her good friends Song Xin'ai and Xiang Hulin to Raelle who had no visible change in her expressions.
However, the same could not be said about her 'parents' who couldn't move their eyes away from her face at all.
Raelle wasn't superstitious but today, she really thought if something was wrong with her luck. Why were all these people running into her? Did she look like she wanted to entertain even one of these people? It started with her siblings, then her husband's... Well, let's just call her Tang Hebe since she had nothing to do with her husband anymore. Then there is even that psycho Ruan Meilin. And now, these two.
Was her life in the wrong circle? Why was every single person she didn't want to waste her energy on was appearing in her life one by one? And even they wanted to barge into her life, at least, do it all at once! Don't waste so much of her time like taking your sweet time coming one by one!
"Hello, Dr. Song! General Xiang!" Raelle didn't mind greeting them as she'd do with anyone.
She didn't so much as frown when she faced her siblings for the first time, why would she be bothered by these two?
Mrs. Chen obviously didn't notice the change in the atmosphere, she advised her good friend Song Xin'ai, "Xin, you take care of her. I'll send the juice for her in a minute."
Raelle nonchalantly went to sit down on the sofa while commenting, "This must be the first time in history that a child is being introduced to her parents for the first time like this. Yanyan is so right, life is surely an unexpected journey."
Both Song Xin'ai and Xiang Hulin stiffened visibly when they heard her soft voice. She didn't raise or lower her voice. So, they could easily hear her. And it wasn't like she said it for them to hear as well. She just wanted to speak her mind and she did exactly that!
Raelle licked her lips as she was feeling like the taste of her mouth was bitter. That's why she wanted to have some juice rather than plain water. But how did she suddenly start having such a reaction? Raelle recalled everything slowly and locked on to something. Yes, it started from the time she drank that champagne. She couldn't say that there was something wrong with the quality so the problem was with her.
It seemed it wasn't just in her head. Something was really wrong with her. But what could possibly be wrong with her? She had a very strict and healthy diet plan. It was even designed by a nutritionist.
Holding her phone, her mind was wandering off trying to figure out what was wrong with her. That's why she didn't even notice the intense gazes looked on her face all this while because neither Song Xin'ai nor Xiang Hulin could bring himself to look away from her. They even have slowed down their breathing in fear that they would disturb her or something.
