Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In the banquet hall.

Shu Yaqi was dressed in a high-cla.s.s attire and wore expensive jewelry. She looked like a n.o.ble princess. In fact, in the Shu family, she was indeed like a princess. She was the eldest granddaughter of the Shu family head, born to the first wife. Her twin brother had already entered the family business and occupied an important position. Therefore, she had become a leader of sorts among these rich young ladies.

It was also because of these reasons that Shu Yaqi had an arrogant and overbearing personality. Her reputation in this circle was not very good, which was partly due to other reasons, but mainly because of her own problematic personality.

However, even so, she was still a marriage partner that many families thought highly of. After all, her status was there. Moreover, which rich young lady from high society did not have a temper?

In contrast, Shu Meier, who was beside her, was also wearing a high-cla.s.s attire and expensive jewelry. However, if one looked closely, the jewelry on her body was definitely not as expensive as Shu Yaqis, and the style was not novel enough. It looked like an outdated style from a few years ago.

Moreover, most importantly, she had a somewhat timid demeanor, looking quite petty. Standing next to Shu Yaqi, she was like the maid of the princess.

At this moment, Shu Yaqi and a few of her close friends were gossiping in a corner.

It was unknown who started the conversation, but they began to talk about the young master of the Huangfu family who would be coming tonight.

Yaqi, your family is still the best. One of the rich young ladies, Li Jingyi, said enviously, I heard that the young master of the Huangfu family will be coming tonight. After all, this was the first time Young Master Huangfu had agreed to attend a banquet ever since he came to Jin City! As expected, Old Master Shu still has the greater influence !

Yes, yes! The other rich young lady, Lu Yaoyao, also chimed in. Yaqi, the Shu family is really capable! To be able to invite Young Master Huangfu, you really deserve to be the number one family in Jin City.

The major families in Jin City naturally got news of the young master of the Huangfu family coming to Jin City very quickly. After all, Young Master Huangfu had come in his private jet this time, making such a huge scene that it was impossible not to know.

After learning that Young Master Huangfus arrival in Jin City, the various families were all itching to make a move. They all sent out visiting cards and many invitations.

After all, he was the young master of the Huangfu family, the number one family in the capital city. Moreover, he had already grasped most of the power

in the Huangfu family. It could be said that he had a truly high position and great power. If one could get close to the Huangfu family, the entire family would prosper.

However, Young Master Huangfu had not met anyone since he came to Jin City.

Even though they wanted to get close to the Huangfu family, no one dared to ask about Young Master HuangFus schedule and arrange a chance encounter. They were just afraid that if the chance encounter did not succeed, it would leave a bad impression and offend him. At that time, it would end up being more costly than worthwhile. Moreover, the Huangfu family was so powerful that even if they inquired about it, they might not be able to get any real reliable information.

It could be said that everyone in Jin Citys upper-cla.s.s society wanted to meet Young Master Huangfu, but no one had a way to do so. That was why everyone was so shocked when they heard that Young Master Huangfu was going to attend Old Master Shus birthday banquet.

However, after everyone reacted, they immediately began to think of ways to get an invitation to the birthday banquet. Some time ago, many people had used their connections just to get an invitation in.

Ever since the news of Young Master Huangfu attending Old Master Shus birthday banquet spread, the entire Shu family could be described as extremely busy.

Its not as exaggerated as you all say! Shu Yaqi spoke modestly, but the arrogance on her face did not diminish one bit. Actually, our family didnt expect that Young Master Huangfu would agree to come either. I think that Young Master Huangfu also intends to befriend our Shu Family!

Although everyone was praising how powerful the Huangfu family was and that Young Master Huangfu agreeing to come was a great honor for the Shu family, in her opinion, the Shu family was also very powerful. Otherwise, why would Young Master Huangfu agree to attend the birthday banquet?

Therefore, even when she heard about the Huangfu family, she did not have any reverence.

Um, Yaqi, Grandpa told us not to speak recklessly. Shu Meier, who was standing at the side, couldnt help but persuade after hearing Shu Yaqis presumptuous words, Especially regarding Young Master Huangfus matter, lets not speculate.

Different from Shu Yaqi s blind arrogance, Shu Meier had been very observant since she was young because of her ident.i.ty. Therefore. she knew very well

that the status of the Huangfu family was definitely beyond the reach of the Shu family.

If it was possible, she didnt want to remind Shu Yaqi. Because she was very clear that if she spoke at this time, not only would she not get Shu Yaqis agreement, but would also be ridiculed by the other party. However, even so, she had to give the reminder.

Otherwise, if something happened to Shu Yaqi later, whether it was her father or her fathers wife, they would blame her for it.

It had always been like this since she was young. As long as Shu Yaqi made a mistake, she would be implicated. She was the scapegoat that could help Shu Yaqi shoulder the blame at any time.

Shu Meier, do you have the right to speak here? Sure enough, after hearing Shu Meiers words, Shu Yaqis face immediately sank. Youre the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. Its already a huge favor that you can stand here. Now, you still want to meddle in my affairs. You dont want to stay in this house anymore, right?

Yaqi, I think your mother is too kind. Li Jingyi said coldly from the side, Letting all sorts of riffraff into the house, making it so foul.

Yes! Another rich young lady, Lu Xingchen, also spoke up, Some people just dont know their status. They think that once they enter the door, they will be a lady of good standing. In the end, they are just a little better than the servants. And now, they even try to admonish the real young lady.

Although she had long expected this outcome, hearing such sarcastic words, Shu Meier could not help but turn pale..
