Facing everyone's moral condemnation, Chu Li appeared calm and composed.

After everyone had vented their anger, she calmly responded:

"You may have made a mistake. They spent so much money to hold a dinner in such a high-end hotel, not just for me. Originally, this dinner was supposed to be Chu Jiamiao's homecoming party. Unfortunately, my silly sister did something stupid. They thought she had lost face online, and they didn't want to waste the deposit they paid to the hotel, so they changed it to my birthday party. If you don't believe me, uncles and aunts, you can think about it. You have known our Chu family for a long time. When have they ever held such a grand birthday party for me?"

The three members of the Chu family suddenly turned pale, with different expressions.

People also began to discuss:

"It seems so. Chu Li has been in the Chu family for so many years, and this is my first time to attend her birthday party."

"To be precise, the Chu family seems to have never held any dinner parties in her name."

"By the way, what stupid thing did your sister do? Tell us about it."

Before Chu Li could even open her mouth, a little boy in his early teens shouted out loudly and confidently, "I told you I'd seen that girl in a white skirt on the Internet! Last time at the waterfall in the mall, the girl whose skirt suddenly blew up, revealing her bare butt, was her!"

Some of the people had seen the news, while some had not. After the little boy's reminder, they all took out their mobile phones to read the related news.

After looking at the picture, everyone realized that the description of the little boy was still too conservative. It was more than just his butt that was exposed.

Chu Jiamiao never expected that Chu Li would set a trick on her here. She tried to hide the matter tonight and even put on heavy makeup, for fear that people who had seen the photos would recognize her.

Chu Li, this bitch, is so good that she directly reminds everyone to review her sexy photos and videos.

Gu Tingyan's mother, Mrs. Gu, also quickly took out her cell phone to check, and her face suddenly turned ugly - she almost went blind just now. How could such a notorious woman marry her precious son!

Chu Jiamiao's face turned pale. She always felt that people around her were looking at her body with thoughtful eyes. She was obviously dressed neatly, but she felt embarrassed about being naked.

Chu Li explained calmly, "The red skirt she was wearing was my pocket money that I had saved for several months. I had originally intended to give it to myself as a coming-of-age present. But she said she liked it, so I was forced to give it to her. The result is what you all see."

Originally, it wasn't Chu Jiamiao's fault that she was exposed. At most, it was just bad luck, and everyone had some sympathy for her. But after Chu Li's explanation, everyone felt that Chu Jiamiao had brought it upon herself. She had to force her way in even though she couldn't squeeze in. She deserved it for the embarrassment of having her skirt torn.

Chu Li looked at the panicked Chu Jiamiao with a gloating look: What kind of joke is this? Did he really think that he could just let it go without even an apology after tearing the skirt she had saved so hard to buy? She was determined to be a ruthless person who would take revenge for any slight, so if you dare to provoke her, you'd better wait for the consequences.

Everyone finally saw the true face of this little girl Chu Jiamiao. On the surface, she pretended to be weak and gentle, but in fact, she was finding all kinds of ways to snatch things from Chu Li, her adopted daughter, at home.

"Really? Miaomiao? Your parents have bought you a dress worth millions, and you still want to steal the dress your sister saved up for months to buy?"

"You deserve it! No wonder your parents think you are embarrassing and don't want to hold a homecoming party for you!"

"I remember that the torn red dress only cost tens of thousands of yuan, right? Does Chu Li have so little pocket money in the Chu family? Would it take several months to save tens of thousands of yuan?"

Everyone present was at least from a well-off family, and there were countless billionaires. A few tens of thousands of dollars was indeed too little for them.

"Now that I think about it, Chu Li used to dress very ordinary. To put it bluntly, she looked a little shabby. Your Chu family wouldn't be willing to save even this little bit of money, right?"

"The venue was originally reserved for Chu Jiamiao. Is it because Chu Li is an adopted daughter that your Chu family is only willing to spend money on their biological daughter and not on her?"

"It seems that we really have wronged Chu Li. Her life in the Chu family is not as glamorous as everyone imagined."

"..."

Chu Shengfeng and Jiang Wanqiu were the most hypocritical couple. They always acted in front of outsiders: Even if Chu Li was not our biological daughter, we would still treat her as our own. Unexpectedly, everyone suddenly discovered that deep down they still felt that there was a big difference between relatives and strangers, and the difference between how they treated their adopted daughter and their biological daughter was quite large.

Most of the people attending the dinner tonight were Chu Shengfeng's business partners. Chu Shengfeng felt that he had lost all his face and dignity, so he angrily pushed his wife out and let her clean up the mess.

Jiang Wanqiu racked her brains to save face, and said to Chu Li with an embarrassed look on her face: "Lili, it was indeed my fault last time. I shouldn't have allowed my sister to snatch your things... But you have to believe that your father and I treat you two children equally. You two are our treasures and our dearest flesh and blood. There is absolutely no favoritism."

Her words made her look even more obvious, and everyone became even more suspicious of how harshly the couple treated Chu Li.

"Really?" Chu Li smiled and stretched out a hand towards her: "Then I'll give you a chance to prove it. Where's my eighteenth birthday present?"

As for her coming-of-age gift, Jiang Wanqiu had already bought it according to her request, but she was reluctant to give it away. She had originally planned to find an excuse to get away with it while the banquet was busy, but Chu Li still remembered it and took the initiative to ask her for a gift.

Jiang Wanqiu reluctantly took out an exquisite jewelry box from her bag and handed it to Chu Li. Inside was a pair of dazzling pink diamond earrings.

"Lili, this pair of earrings cost our family more than 20 million yuan! You should be satisfied now, but you can't just say that mom and dad favor your sister anymore!"

With a coming-of-age gift worth more than 20 million, everyone exclaimed at how generous Jiang Wanqiu, as a mother, was. The Chu family was unexpectedly powerful.

Chu Li also accepted the gift with great satisfaction - pink diamonds are very valuable and are a rare gem second only to red diamonds.

Very good, it seems that Jiang Wanqiu really listened to what she said that day. It would have been even better if the pair of earrings were not purchased with her black gold card.

Chu Jiamiao looked at the pair of pink earrings in her hand, her eyes widened. Her family only spent 20-30 million yuan to buy her so many things, but Chu Li spent more than 20 million yuan on a pair of earrings... She started to get jealous again, and she was thinking that she had to find an opportunity to sneak into Chu Li's room and steal them for her.
