Lou Ruoyi’s welcome party was a private banquet. Most of the guests were ladies from wealthy families.
In fact, there were countless things that wealthy families couldn’t do. There were many rich and powerful young ladies who were arrogant and domineering. Most people just smiled at them.
Yuan Sichun was still very cautious. Her entrance arrangements were very strict and all media reporters were prohibited from entering.
It was a private banquet that did not intend to be low-profile. However, wherever a wealthy family appeared, there would be extravagance.
Hence, all the cars parked outside the event venue tonight were world-class cars. The men and women who walked out of the cars were all dressed in glamorous suits and leather shoes.
In the banquet hall, everyone was drinking.
Yuan Sichun was wearing the gown that Lou Ruoyi had bought for her yesterday. She was all smiles as she stood gracefully at the door to greet the guests.
Last time, Yuan Sichun’s welcome party ended on an unhappy note. Now, she had another chance to meet Yuan Sichun. The few sisters surrounded Yuan Sichun and chatted non-stop. Now, there were even a few madams.
“Sichun, long time no see. You’re becoming more and more beautiful.”
“Zhiqing is so lucky. She knows how to give birth and raise her. Look at how well Sichun has grown.”
“That’s right, and she’ll be the future family head. We’re too short-sighted. This is the first time we’ve seen this woman in charge. Just like Mu Guiying and Wu Zetian…”
“There are so many businesses in the Yuan family. I’ve lived for half my life. Just thinking about it makes my heart tremble. I’m afraid that I’ll mess it up. Sichun doesn’t seem nervous at all.”
…
Yuan Sichun was embarrassed by the praises.
“Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. Young people are frivolous. It’s hard to say what will happen when the time comes.”
“Hey, it’s fine. You don’t have to worry about this in the future. Didn’t you grow up with the eldest son of the Bo family? If anything happens, just leave it to him.”
There were also people who attended the banquet that day. Many of them knew that Bo Jinchuan’s fiancée was someone else.
Yuan Sichun’s face stiffened and she said awkwardly,
“Brother Bo and I are just… friends who grew up together…”
A few uninformed ladies laughed.
“Look, you’re shy. Everyone knows that Young Master Bo has only been close to you since he was young. Everyone says that you’ll be the Young Madam of the Bo family in the future!”
“That’s right. The Old Master of the Bo family likes you very much too. Look at you now. You’re even the one who organized Madam Bo’s welcome party. Ask anyone who has such rights.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Be it status or looks, which woman can compare to Sichun?”
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
The Yuan family was one of the few big families in Hong Kong. In terms of status, there were naturally not many people who could be compared to the Yuan family.
Although her words sounded flattering, they were the truth.
Yuan Sichun smiled shyly and humbly.
“Auntie Chen, don’t say that. There’s always someone better than me…”
The few of them waved their hands in disbelief.
“Forget it, forget it. There are many people. If there were, they would have appeared long ago. There’s no need to wait…”
“Eh? Who’s that?”
“Ah, she…”
“She has a good temperament and is beautiful…”
There was a small commotion nearby. A few people looked over and couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Aiyo, this…”
When Auntie Chen saw this, she couldn’t help but sigh. Then, her gaze swept across Yuan Sichun’s face before turning to the entrance of the banquet hall. Her expression was filled with awkwardness.
Yuan Sichun frowned and turned her head. The smile on her face froze.
Shen Fanxing was wearing a light pink lace embroidered dress with a retro design. Although the collar design covered her neck, it accentuated her beautiful swan neck.
Her thin shoulders were especially upright and her waist was slender. Her ankle-length skirt fluttered as she walked.
Her long hair was tied up at the back of her head, and she had a simple and gentle look.
With light makeup, she looked simple and clean, capable and gentle.
Shen Fanxing’s outfit was probably the most conservative in the entire banquet hall.
Now, everyone looked at revealing their back, shoulders, legs, waist and chest…
The young woman had her own thoughts and tried her best to compete.
However, when she saw Shen Fanxing, she was speechless.
Shen Fanxing strode over. Yuan Sichun looked at the elegant and gentle Shen Fanxing who appeared calmly at the entrance of the banquet hall. She curled her fingers slightly.
Shen Fanxing stood at the entrance of the banquet hall and scanned the surroundings. When she didn’t see Lou Ruoyi, she retracted her gaze silently.
She glanced at Yuan Sichun and pursed her lips before nodding at her as a form of greeting.
Then, her face regained its indifference, and a sense of distance arose.
“Oh, who is this woman? Why haven’t I seen her before?” Aunt Chen stared at Shen Fanxing with admiration.
“Hmph, she’s so ostentatious. She knows that she’s dressed up beautifully tonight. Is she afraid that others won’t know? She’s not moving now!”
“Exactly. She just wants to attract others’ attention!”
“You’re dressed like that. Your thoughts are shallow.”
“Look, everyone is looking at her. She’s still standing there. What… is she trying to do?!”
When the men present saw Shen Fanxing, they were indeed stunned and impressed.
They had seen all kinds of women, but it was rare to see someone as unique as Shen Fanxing.
A few people couldn’t help but try to strike up a conversation with her, but they were surprised by her unattainable aura.
Sensing the eagerness of the men, the young women couldn’t bear to see their limelight being stolen. They wanted to tear Shen Fanxing’s clothes apart.
“Vixen, are you trying to seduce all the men here?”
Shen Fanxing stood quietly at the entrance, ignoring the murderous gazes of the men and women around her. After a while, she turned her head slightly to look at the entrance.
Her red lips curled into a smile, and gradually, her eyes lit up.
His cold and indifferent face was like a lotus flower that was slowly blooming on the icy plain. The ice and snow melted and it was vivid.
Everyone took a deep breath. What did she see? Her smile was so moving.
