Entertainment: If you asked him to be a star, he'd just want to quit.

Chang Xuanling linked arms with Li Mingxuan, and the two chatted and laughed as they arrived near her home.

Seeing several figures standing at the gate, Li Mingxuan subconsciously looked towards Chang Xuanling.

The latter frowned slightly as she recognized several of the men as the same young masters who had been chatting and laughing with her earlier.

Her heart tightened, fearing that Li Mingxuan wouldn't like it, and she quickly explained.

"Brother Mingxuan, they are all the children of Dad's friends. I'm not familiar with them, so please don't mind."

As he spoke, he looked worried.

Li Mingxuan saw the girl's expression, smiled slightly, and shook his head.

"Since you're my friend, I certainly won't mind. You have your own circle of friends, there's no need for you to change anything for me."

Hearing Li Mingxuan's words, Chang Xuanling felt a surge of emotion and unconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.

"Ah."

When Li Mingxuan arrived at the girl's door, he felt it wasn't right for her to hold his arm like that, and tried to pull his arm away, but the girl stubbornly refused.

Unfortunately, he didn't want her to be sad on her birthday, and besides, he had to save face for her in front of so many people.

"Let's go."

he said softly.

Chang Xuanling responded, and then the two continued walking as if no one else was around.

"Hello, I'm Xuanling's friend. I feel really bad that you all came out to greet me."

As he approached the door, several pairs of eyes fell upon him, scrutinizing him with the disdain of superiors, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I wondered who would make our little birthday boy come out to greet us personally? Turns out, he's just a pretty boy."

The young man who had previously mocked the man surnamed Gu glanced at Li Mingxuan and sneered.

It wasn't hard to hear the disdain and sarcasm in his voice.

He looked down on Li Mingxuan because of his clothes.

The items he wore were worth only a few hundred yuan, not even enough to compare to his pair of socks, which shows that he wasn't from a wealthy or prestigious family.

"Xu Lang, watch your mouth! Who gave you the right to talk about my friend like that? Apologize to my friend right now!"

Li Mingxuan was fine; he was just looked down upon. But Chang Xuanling was furious.

Li Mingxuan was the person she liked, and she was overjoyed that he had traveled a long way to celebrate her birthday.

But before she even entered the house, she was insulted and mocked by someone she didn't like. Instantly, the little girl transformed into a fierce mother leopard protecting her food.

"Tch, sorry."

Because of Chang Xuanling's status, Xu Lang could only lower his head, but his expression and tone were anything but apologetic.

It's just a perfunctory excuse.

However, Li Mingxuan didn't take this kind of person seriously.

Having lived two lives, he had seen many such insignificant characters on television before.

Although it was the first time he had met such a person in real life, he was certain that such a person would only appear in one episode of a TV series at most.

Getting too entangled with him will only lower yourself, elevate others, and give him an opportunity to embellish his story.

The best course of action is to ignore his existence and treat him as a clown.

"Alright, don't get angry over someone like that, it's not worth it." Li Mingxuan didn't even care about this person himself, and didn't even look at him, gently comforting the angry Chang Xuanling.

"This guy is interesting."

The others couldn't help but become interested when they saw that Li Mingxuan didn't seem to care at all about Xu Lang's deliberate attempts to make things difficult for him.

In their eyes, such people are either fearless or cowardly.

The former had his own confidence, was not afraid at all, and would not take someone like Xu Lang seriously, so he naturally didn't care.

The latter would be even less likely to make them care.

"Since you are Xuanling's friend, please come in and let's get to know each other."

At this moment, Gu Fensheng spoke up.

He was the eldest son of the Gu family who had been mocked by Xu Lang before.

"That's right, it's fate that we met. Let's get to know each other and become friends."

With someone speaking up, the others naturally wouldn't want to embarrass Chang Xuanling.

After all, tonight's event is on their turf, and Chang Xuanling is the main character tonight, with a father who is the vice mayor behind her.

If everyone were as stupid as Xu Lang, they wouldn't be able to stay at this party any longer.

Xu Lang will definitely be blacklisted by the Chang family in the future.

"Thank you." Chang Xuanling thanked Li Mingxuan on his behalf, then took his arm and walked inside.

Realizing he was being ignored, Xu Lang's face darkened.

As everyone else followed him inside, he walked alone at the very back, his eyes gloomy and cold as he stared at Gu Fensheng and Li Mingxuan.

The spacious courtyard was set up with many dining tables, piled with drinks, fruits and snacks.

Li Mingxuan had been driving all afternoon, and his stomach was completely empty.

But Chang Xuanling wouldn't let go of him, so he couldn't just leave.

Continuing inside, once you enter the lobby, the bright lights illuminate the space, making it as bright as day.

Li Mingxuan saw many people gathered in twos and threes, creating a noisy and lively scene.

When they saw Chang Xuanling walk in arm in arm with a handsome man, all eyes fell on Li Mingxuan.

The latter felt uncomfortable being watched by so many people.

He doesn't really like facing many occasions.

That's why he's always wanted to switch to working behind the scenes.

There was no way around it; after all, he was an introverted, shy, and reclusive guy in his past life, and even in this new world, his soul was still the same.

Now his personality has become much more cheerful. Although he can't be calm and composed, at least he's not afraid.

When Chang's parents saw their daughter walking in arm in arm with a man, their expressions changed.

When Chang Enhuai saw the face his daughter was holding, jealousy instantly ignited in his heart.

His face gradually darkened, his eyes twitched involuntarily, and sparks of fire ignited in his pupils, as if he wanted to burn this heart thief to ashes.

This bastard tricked him out of his beloved daughter, whom he had cherished and raised with great care for twenty-two years!

Even if he has a good-looking face, it won't work!

When Chang's mother saw the boy her daughter was with, her expression changed.

But when she looked at Li Mingxuan's handsome face, she couldn't help but feel happy.

This girl has good taste.

This young man is quite handsome.

With a smile in her eyes, this is what people often say: a mother-in-law finds her son-in-law more and more interesting the more she looks at him, while a father-in-law gets angrier and angrier the more he looks at him.

Chang Xuanling took Li Mingxuan's arm and walked towards her parents. Li Mingxuan was unaware that he had already incurred the wrath of Chang's father the moment he entered the house.

"Mom and Dad, this is Li Mingxuan, my good friend."

Chang Xuanling explained that she paused subconsciously when she said the last three words, and even secretly glanced at Li Mingxuan.

This cautious behavior only made Chang's father more and more displeased with Li Mingxuan!
