December 25, Christmas!

Li Chen has never been very enthusiastic about these Western festivals.

However, this year, he received a particularly expensive gift.

And it was sent from Europe thousands of miles away.

The gift is a Swiss bank black card with $10 billion on it, sent by the Duke of Ace of England.

If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.

It seems that Mei Ruohua has fallen into their hands, and this is the pace of negotiating with me.

The world's billions of money, Li Chen at this time was like clouds floating in the sky.

However, Mei Ruohua is in the hands of others, even if the other party sets him a Hongmen banquet, he must go.

On December 26, just after Christmas, Li Chen rushed to the British Empire, the Royal Opera House:

There is a red carpet with the same style as the Cannes Film Festival at the door. The doorman and maid stand on the left and right, greeting the guests.

British nobles, presidents of multinational corporations, bank presidents, government officials from various European countries, and Hollywood superstars are everywhere here.

Among this group of high-ranking people, there are two oriental girls dressed in luxurious clothes.

Although the two of them came together, their attitudes were completely opposite.

One is happy, the other is absent-minded.

The happy girl was named Li Lili, but she despised her parents' names for being bad, so she gave herself a high-end and elegant English name, Ruth.

Ruth is from Jiangnan. Although her family is very wealthy, she only has over 100 million assets. She is not qualified to attend this party with a top European circle and a gathering of celebrities.

A large part of the reason why she was able to get the invitation was because of her best friend Lin Xuanfei.

Their senior Duke Borg is pursuing Concubine Lin Xuan. These two invitation letters were also given to them by Duke Borg.

Seeing that Li Lili looked worried, she poked her with her elbow.

"Concubine Xuan, why are you worried? This is the Royal Academy of Drama, a place where European nobles and celebrities gather. Others can't even come. You are so reluctant!"

Concubine Lin Xuan was indeed reluctant to come here, but she couldn't help but struggle with her best friend. She was idle, so she followed her, just to relax.

Seeing that Concubine Lin Xuan did not answer, Li Lili started talking to herself.

"Concubine Xuan and Duke Borg are all good. They are handsome and versatile. The most important thing is members of the royal family and aristocratic family. Maybe they will be the crown prince in the future. If you marry him, you will be the princess!"

As she said that, she looked like a starry-like expression that fantasized about being the future princess.

Concubine Lin Xuan finally spoke: "Lily, I have told you all that I have no feelings for Senior Borg. Let me be with someone I don't like, let alone be a princess. Even if I am a queen, I won't be happy!"

Li Lili was a little unhappy and said, "You don't like such an excellent noble gentleman as Senior Borg, so who do you like? You won't even forget your high school classmate named Li Chen, right?"

Concubine Lin Xuan did not answer, which was considered to be her agreement.

Seeing that Lin Xuanfei agreed, Li Lili made an incredible and particularly exaggerated expression.

Donghua is just an ordinary prefecture-level city. Even if the other party is the mayor's son, he cannot compare with a prince like Duke Borg. She even doubts whether her best friend's head is funny?

Just as they were about to enter the door, Lin Xuanfei suddenly stopped and her best friend's hand trembled suddenly.

"Concubine Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

Li Lili was shocked and followed Lin Xuanfei's gaze. It happened to fall on an oriental boy, who seemed to be a Chinese.

Li Chen had already discovered Concubine Lin Xuan. When she was hesitating whether to come forward to recognize each other, she had already discovered it.

Then, he walked over with a smile on his face.

"Concubine Xuan, long time no see!"

"Brother Li Chen, is it really you?"

Concubine Lin Xuan shouted in surprise, and her heart thumped.

"Brother Li Chen, are you here specifically to see me?"

Li Chen thought for a while and said, "Yes, that's right!"

Li Chen's answer was very perfunctory, but Lin Xuanfei still smiled like a child.

Her best friend Li Lili couldn't stand it anymore, and asked exaggeratedly with a little hostility: "Concubine Xuan, this is not the high school classmate you have never forgotten, Li Chen?"

Lin Xuan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and said, "Well, it's him!"

After receiving the affirmative answer from her best friend, Li Li still felt a little unbelievable.

Judging from Li Chen, in terms of appearance and temperament, he is not as good as Duke Borg at all, and his status is even more different from that of Duke Borg.

She secretly pulled Lin Xuanfei aside and asked with an exaggerated expression: "Concubine Xuan, are you rejecting Duke Borg for such a boy?"

Concubine Lin Xuan did not answer, but looked at Li Chen sideways. The meaning of it is self-evident.

Li Lili couldn't accept it at all, so she held her forehead with one hand and said, "Oh, my God, please wake up my best friend!"

At this moment, a white man in a noble dress walked over very gentlemanly and said gracefully: "Rus, Miss Lin, I'm very happy to see you here!"

After saying that, he politely stepped forward and hugged Li Lili.

When he was about to hug Lin Xuanfei, Lin Xuanfei instinctively took a step back and smiled.

"Mr. Edward, I'm very happy to see you too!"

After saying that, she pointed to Edward and introduced: "Brother Li Chen, this is Edward, Ruth's friend!"

Seeing that Lin Xuanfei was speaking carefully, Edward seemed to be worried that Li Chen would be unhappy, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

However, he was a noble gentleman and said politely: "Friends from China are very happy to know you!"

Although he said so, his attitude was very arrogant and he also had disdain for Li Chen in his eyes.

Immediately, he took the opportunity to pull Li Lili aside and whispered to her about Li Chen's background.

Li Lili said indignantly: "It's just a classmate from Concubine Xuan when she was in high school, and her family is very ordinary!"

She is also a native of Donghua, and she attends private schools in high school. She is very good at being accustomed to the fact that she is mostly second-generation in the upper class. Therefore, she concluded that Li Chen is just an ordinary student.

Moreover, from Li Chen's dress, she can confirm her guess and will definitely not make any mistakes.

At first, Edward was worried that he would misunderstand, and mistakenly thought that Li Chen was the son of a top family in China.

After all, China is developing very rapidly now, and both its economic strength and military strength have become one of the world's first-class powers.

It would definitely not be a wise move to offend the son of the top Chinese family because of a small misunderstanding.

But now he confirmed Li Chen's identity and his attitude towards him naturally took a sharp turn for the worse.

"Rus, Miss Lin, the party is about to begin, let's go in!"

Ruth responded and forced Concubine Lin Xuan to walk inside.

Li Chen was about to follow in, but Edward stopped him at the door.
