Ghost Exorciser: Is Loved By All
Chapter 109: President

Chapter 109: Chapter 109: President

She had tried so hard to convince herself that it didn’t matter, that she didn’t need their acknowledgment, but deep down, the pain of being overlooked by her own family was unbearable.

Just then, Qiao Zirui, who had been standing by her side, noticed the change in her expression.

He realized that something was wrong and gently tugged at her sleeve, trying to get her attention.

"Sister Lea, what’s the matter? Why do you look sad?" he asked with concern.

Yu Holea tried to put on a brave face and forced a smile,

"It’s nothing, Zirui. Just feeling a little tired, that’s all."

Qiao Zirui wasn’t convinced.

He had observed enough to know that something was amiss. He knew Yu Holea well enough to see through her facade.

"You don’t have to hide your feelings from me, Sister Lea. I can tell when something is bothering you," he said, his voice filled with determination.

Yu Holea looked at him, touched by his concern.

She realized that Qiao Zirui truly cared about her, even at such a young age.

But Yu Holea had decided in her heart, that this time, she shouldn’t feel sad.

They kicked her, they are treating others as their own while disowning their own, so why should she cry?

As the gifting session began, Yu Sicong, Yu Shuchang, and Yu Sile stepped forward, holding beautifully wrapped presents for Yu Mei.

Each gift held its own significance, carefully chosen to showcase their love and adoration for their beloved sister.

Yu Sicong, the eldest among the brothers, presented a small velvet box adorned with intricate golden designs.

As Yu Mei opened it, her eyes widened with awe. Inside was a stunning diamond necklace, sparkling with brilliance.

"Wow! Is that Master Ji’s famous work, Blue Ocean?"

"It can’t be, right? I remember that it cost around 10 million."

"Oh my god!"

Next, Yu Shuchang stepped forward, holding a large painting covered in a silk cloth.

As the cloth was unveiled, a breathtaking masterpiece was revealed.

The painting depicted a serene landscape, capturing the beauty of nature in vivid detail.

"Oh no! Is that the recent work of Elle?"

"Who Elle?"

"Elle was the most famous painter however recently she has stopped drawing. So each of her paintings has become precious."

"Tsk...tsk...what great luck Yu Mei has!"

Finally, it was Yu Sile’s turn to present his gift. He held a delicately crafted jewelry box made of rare ebony wood.

As Yu Mei opened it, she discovered a pair of exquisite earrings, encrusted with rare pink diamonds

"Oh! I know this one, it’s the renowned jewelry brand, Flora Gems. Those earrings must be worth a fortune!"

"Flora Gems? They’re known for their exceptional craftsmanship and exclusive designs. Yu Mei is so lucky!"

The room filled with gasps and whispers as the guests admired the extravagant gifts bestowed upon Yu Mei.

It was evident that the brothers had spared no expense in expressing their affection for her.

An intelligent person suddenly said,

"Wait! Each gift has a meaning!"

"What do you mean?"

" The diamond necklace was a testament to Eldest Young Master Yu’s desire to see his sister shine brightly in any setting. The painting symbolized Second Young Master Yu’s wish for his sister to find peace and tranquility amidst the chaos of life. The earnings represent Third Young Master Yu’s desire to see his sister cherished and admired by all."

"Oh god! I will die from jealousy!"

"Such thoughtful brothers!"

Yu Mei who heard this smiled beautifully and said in a coquettish tone,

"Big brothers, if you dote on me like this won’t I be spoiled?"

"What nonsense! And even if you become spoiled, I will still dote on you for your entire lifetime.."

.....

Meanwhile, Yu Holea watched from a distance.

Should she feel sad?

Nah!

Yu Holea looked at the gift one last time and decided to buy it for herself

She then said to Jiang Wei,

"I will have to leave because of some matter."

"Huh? Why so suddenly?" Jiang Wei was surprised.

Yu Holea said,

"I have some urgent matter to deal with. So I will leave for now!"

"Oh, okay. But I will drop you"

Seeing Yu Holea’s pale complexion Jiang Wei was a little stunned and thought that Yu Holea wasn’t feeling well and hence she decided to drop her home.

However Yu Holea shook her head and said,

"It’s alright..."

Yu Holea had just wanted to leave this place without being noticed.

But her luck was really not in her favor today...

A tender and sweet voice called out,

"Sister Lea?"

Yu Holea turned around and saw Yu Mei standing at 5 feet distance.

Everyone turned around to notice Holea when they heard Yu Mei’s voice.

Various gazes landed on Yu Holea.

Surprisingly Yu Holea wasn’t as nervous as she thought.

"Yes, Miss Yu?"

Yu Mei said in a surprised voice,

"Why didn’t you tell me you were coming too? I would have given you an invitation."

Her words were simple but once they fell in others’ ears, a wave of astonishment spread throughout the room.

"Why would Miss Yu invite her?"

"Isn’t she just a distant relative?"

"Something seems off. Is she Yu Mei’s friend?"

"I guess no"

"Why do I feel that she is some distant relative who joined the party without an invitation."

"Yeah, I feel so too."

....

Yu Holea frowned a little.

Jiang Wei heard Yu Holea’s way of addressing and sensed that Yu Mei and Yu Holea has a complicated relationship.

She regretted her decision to bring Yu Holea here...

Qiao Zirui looked at Yu Mei sharply and suddenly said with a cute look,

"Sister Lea, is she the president of the country?"

His voice was loud enough and everyone heard it.

Yu Mei smiled a little when she heard Qioa Zirui’s words and before Yu Holea could reply, Yu Mei said,

"No, I am not president, little cutie."

She felt that the child would blush and ask for a hug.

However Qiao Zirui just blinked cutely and said,

"So why would we need an invitation?"

His words meant that since she wasn’t as important as the president why would they need an invitation to come to her birthday party?

Yu Mei’s face twitched a little while Yu Holea was also stunned.

Understanding that Qiao Zirui said this to protect her, Yu Holea couldn’t help but smile.

Usually, Yu Holea has a gentle aura around her but today due to light makeup her face looked gentle too.

So when she smiled at Qiao Zirui, her face had a gentle expression that almost blinded the Yu Brothers.

This scene in front of them was particularly harsh for them.

Yu Mei’s face turned sad and she said,

"Lea, are you still upset with me? Why did you block us? Lea, we were very worried about you. It’s enough you should come back home and stop playing around."

Qiao Zirui frowned, wasn’t Yu Mei trying to portray Yu Holea as an insensible girl who left her home for fun?

Sure enough, various discussions started.

"She wants her to come back home? What happened between them?"

"Who is she?"

"Who cares? All I know is that she is an insensible girl!"

"Right! Or else who would leave their house just to have some fun?"

Yu Holea’s smile faded, and she took a deep breath.

"Miss Yu, I appreciate your concern, but I believe it’s best for me to live my life independently."

Her words were firm, and her voice carried a sense of resolve.

The room fell into an uneasy silence as the guests tried to comprehend the situation unfolding before them.

Yu Mei showed a stunned look and slowly her eyes filled with some tears but she held them in and said,

"Lea if you don’t want to be with us, then it’s alright...I..."

Toward the end of the sentence, she sounded a little choked.

Everyone present started feeling sympathetic toward Yu Mei.

And various accusing gazes fell on Yu Holea.

Yu Hoela paused and said,

"Miss Yu, you are misleading now."

Some guests whispered among themselves, their judgments evident in their tone.

"Such arrogance! How can she speak to Miss Yu like that?"

"She’s just trying to show off. Who does she think she is?"

Yu Holea felt as if she has already faced all of this once and wasn’t affected much.

Qiao Zirui was frustrated seeing this scene and but he maintained his noble aura.

Jiang Wei who saw the entire scene looked at Yu Mei with narrowed eyes and suddenly started saying,

"Are you Yu Mei?"

Yu Mei looked at Jiang Wei and nodded shyly.

Jiang Family is renowned for its influence and power, as their family ranks in the top 10 families of Capital.

Jiang Wei was the Second Young Miss of the Jiang Family, she protected and cherished like a piece of pearl.

If one wants to make a place among the socialites of Captial, one must never offend Jiang Wei.
