Jiang Chenghuan had been held up, so the hotel manager in charge of the banquet greeted the two of them instead. It seemed that Jiang Chenghuan had given him specific instructions beforehand. Even though they were just interning as waitresses, the manager’s attitude was respectful.
They changed into the waitress uniforms, then she and Zhao Yumo each tooka mask of a different color and followed the manager to the venue of the party.
Everything was all set up, and guests were arriving one after another. Jiang
Chenghuan had now also arrived early to entertain the guests, insteadof coming in late like some cocky hosts. He clearly cared a lot about this cousin of his.
Yun Xi swept her eyes across the scene. There was quite a crowd, mostof whom she had seen at previous banquets. They were all people from the same circle.
What she did not expect to see was Liang Xinyi showing up with Han
Zhongteng&
During this period of time when Han Wanling was in jail, Liang Xinyi had become Han Hongbin’s eyes and kept herself close to Han Zhongteng. She had completely humiliated herself at the wedding banquet, yet now she had Han
Zhongteng wrapped around her little finger. Looks like Liang Xinyi did not waste much time at all.
But thinking about it, if she had not tried her best to stay by Han Zhongteng’s side, then she would have been deemed useless by Han Hongbin.
Although it was a masquerade ball, some of the guests wore only a half mask on their faces, so they could still tell who they were speaking to.
This was unlike the waiters, who only showed their lips and chin after putting on their masks. Apart from distinguishing each other by color, they could hardly recognize who was behind the masks at all.
Before the party had officially begun, almost all of the guests had arrived. Even
Yan Jiaren, who was the host of the ball, had arrived. The scene in the majestic ballroom gradually quietened, and everyone turned to look at the black silhouette at the top of the stairs.
Amid the crowd, Yun Xi raised her eyes to lookat Yan Jiaren, who was now descending the stairs, dressed in a black vintage V-neck tulle dress that touched the ground. Her figure was slender and tall, and she had classically glamorous makeup on her face.
A small hairpin attached to a see-through veil mask with tiny shards of black diamonds was pinned to the top of her head. The clever design allowed everyone to see her appearance clearly without straying from the theme of today’s masquerade party.
Her red lips were slighthly arched. Although the expression in her eyes was distant and cold, the smile on her face was enough to mesmerize the many men present.
When she saw her for the first time, Yun Xi knew that she was not a simple woman at all. She had the aura of a strong and powerful woman and her movements were so refined, she must have gone through rigorous training to become the elegant and poised celebrity she was. Maybe it was because of the way she had been brought up. Yun Xi could see that despite the many wealthy and eligible bachelors among the crowd, none of them could catch her eye
The arrogance she exuded gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Wasn’t this the same aura as that domineering tyrant, Mu Feichi?
The only difference between them was that Yan Jiaren seemed a little pretentiously cocky, unlike Mu Feichi’s innate sense of nonchalance that came naturally.
Thank you to everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my party. I am Yan Jiaren. Today’s party is to celebrate my retum back to my homeland and also the opening of my store. I will be spending a lot of time in the country from now on, so please take care of me and thank you!”
Such a perfectly concise introduction, so neat and unambiguous, while the power she exuded caused many men to stare with their mouths wide open.
Yun Xi knew at a glance that the look in her eyes was that of an excited hunter stalking her prey.
A weak woman could make a man feel compassion, buta strong woman could easily arouse a man’s desire to conquer. This was the difference between the two.
The party quickly resumed. Yun Xi walked between the guests with a wine tray in her hand. Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling stood in the crowd, desperately trying to identify who was Jiang Chenghuan’s aunt and which was the wealthy prince charming Liang Xiuqin wanted as her son-in-law..
