Chapter 3 — Lady Pretends to Be Poor Pursuing Love

So a few people actually stood up to stop me.

“Miss Tran, you should just leave first.” Several businessmen with close ties to the Co family spoke up to advise me.

I didn't answer, just shook my head slightly and took out my phone to call my dad.

“Dad, I'm here. But they won't let me in.”

Just as I hung up the phone, behind me, Co Truong Minh's cold voice rang out again: "Tran Nhien, stop it! You are an orphan, where can you find a father?" I glanced at him but didn't answer. My father just said briefly: "Let me handle it." Then hung up. Less than a minute later, one of the big businessmen here received a call from my father. As soon as he answered the phone, his expression immediately changed. Right after that, he quickly walked towards me, his face beaming: "Miss Tran, I didn't expect you to come so early! Please come inside!" He is one of the biggest tycoons in this city, also an important partner of my family. Over the years, thanks to my relationship with him, Co Truong Minh had the opportunity to cooperate with him. At this moment, hearing him say that, Co Truong Minh's face immediately froze. He looked at me and roared: "Tran Nhien! What tricks did you use?!"

I turned my head and glanced at him, saying nothing. Just gently turned around and strode into the hall. Co Truong Minh was about to step forward to question me, but was stopped by someone else. I sat quietly in the hall. At this time, the richest man in the city was politely flattering me. That scene stunned Co Truong Minh and Tham Thien Thien. They stared at me without blinking. Co Truong Minh tried to approach me more than once to start a conversation, but was stopped by my bodyguards. Rich people around also began to see the truth clearly. I'm not the girl with a shady background like the Co family's rumored - I may even have an extremely special identity. Many people began to proactively approach me. The eyes looking towards Co Truong Minh were now filled with contempt.

“My dad won't be coming tonight.”

I looked at the city tycoon in front of me and spoke softly. Hearing me say that, he immediately nodded repeatedly: "Of course, having Ms. Tran attend is a great honor!" Having finished speaking, he quickly stepped onto the stage and announced: "The party has officially begun!"

"Wait! The richest man in Beijing hasn't arrived yet, why start?"

Tham Thien Thien spoke up worriedly. The whole Co family was equally impatient. They mobilized their entire family to come here because they wanted to create relationships with Beijing's elite - but now, the richest man in Beijing doesn't come.

“He didn't come, but his daughter did!”

The rich man smiled and pointed at me: "Miss Tran Nhien, she is the eldest princess of Beijing's upper class!" As soon as he finished speaking, the whole hall immediately stirred. Everyone looked at me with surprised eyes. No one expected that the woman who was once despised in the Co family, and had to do chores all day like a maid... was actually the eldest princess of Beijing's super-rich.

"No way! He's just an orphan!"

Co's mother screamed in panic. But no one paid attention to her words anymore. After all, she is the person confirmed by the city's tycoon, and is also the daughter of the richest man in Beijing - confirmation. That recognition is beyond doubt. I was invited on stage. Looking at everyone below, I opened my mouth:

"A few years ago, I loved a man. For him, I was willing to give up everything to be with him."

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned to Co Truong Minh. Everyone knows who I'm talking about. During the years I was at the Co family's house, many people witnessed how much I suffered. Now they understand how much I sacrificed for that man.

"However, the Co family falsely accused me of having an affair. They even beat me nearly to death and then threw me out on the street."

"I almost lost my life. If a good person hadn't passed by that day to save me... I wouldn't be alive now."
