However, when she heard the systems mechanical voice reply, she felt it was impossible.

According to the systems detection, Muyan Yanshu currently has a favorability rating of only 50% toward you. You need to achieve a favorability rating of 80% or more to complete the task.

What? After getting the systems reply, Ye Xiyuan almost couldnt control her expression. Nangong Xuyaos mother clearly likes me a lot. How could the favorability rate only be 50%? Did you test it wrong?

Murong Yanshu had been so cordial to her, so how could the favorability rate be so low? She didnt even reach the pa.s.sing line.

The mechanical voice rang out in Ye Xiyuans mind again, even more stern this time. The systems a.n.a.lysis is never wrong. I hope the host continues to make efforts. If the host continues to question the systems accuracy, there will be punishments.

Hearing the word punishment, Ye Xiyuan couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver. Just thinking about the agonizing punishment last time made her feel afraid. Xiyuan, whats wrong? Seeming to sense something off with Ye Xiyuan beside him, Nangong Xuyao asked with concern, Are you not feeling well?

Murong Yanshu also looked concerned. Miss Ye, how about I have someone take you to rest for a while?

Looking at Murong Yanshus concerned appearance, Ye Xiyuan felt a chill in her heart. If it werent for the system detecting such a low favorability rate from Murong Yanshu, she might have actually believed that the other party was genuinely concerned about her. It seemed that the women in these major families were not to be underestimated, as even she was almost convinced by that caring expression.

If she was really taken away to rest now, she was afraid she wouldnt be able to come out of tonights banquet anymore. It seemed that gaining Murong Yanshus favor really wasnt easy at all!

Auntie, Im fine. Ye Xiyuan revealed an innocent smile and said, Its just that Auntie is so friendly, I felt pleasantly surprised by the warmth.

Just as they were speaking, a servant rushed in and whispered a few words into the butlers ear, as if reporting something.

Soon, Murong Yanshu stood up and looked at Nangong Xuyao. Mr. and Mrs. Huangfu have arrived. Lets go welcome them now!

As one of the four major families, now that Mr. and Mrs. Huangfu had personally come, as hosts they naturally had to personally greet them. As Murong Yanshu spoke, she only looked at Nangong Xuyao and didnt even mention Ye Xiyuan.

For a moment, Ye Xiyuan felt a bit awkward, as she didnt know if she should follow or stay in place.

Xiyuan, lets go together! Nangong Xuyao seemed to also notice Ye Xiyuans unease. Looking at Ye Xiyuan beside him, he suggested with a smile, Youre my female companion today, so its only proper for you to come along with me.

Hearing Nangong Xuyaos words, Ye Xiyuan was very happy. But before she could reply, she was interrupted by Murong Yanshu.

Xuyao, it might not be appropriate for Miss Ye to join us. The guests arriving now are the patriarch and matriarch of the Huangfu family. So, how should Miss Ye accompany us in what capacity? It might be better for her to wait here for a while!

After saying this, Murong Yanshu turned to Ye Xiyuan and continued with a smile, Miss Ye, you dont mind my arrangement, do you?

Of course not, Auntie is right, Ye Xiyuan said with a smile. Ill only feel more reserved coming along, so Ill just stay here,

At a time like this, she naturally wanted to go along. But Murong Yanshu had already said it this way, if she insisted on following them, she would only offend Murong Yanshu. Then it would be even harder to gain favor with Murong Yanshu later. Since this was the case, she might as well show herself as decent and magnanimous. She wanted to see if she could gain more of Murong Yanshus favor this way.

Nangong Xuyao had wanted to say more, but hearing that Ye Xiyuan was so insistent, he didnt continue to persuade. However, he still had the butler stay behind to attend to Ye Xiyuan.

Ye Xiyuan watched Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao leave, keeping smiling, and not showing any grievance.

Murong Yanshus impression of Ye Xiyuan improved somewhat seeing her tactful behavior. She felt at least this girl knew her own status and wouldnt pester them unreasonably.

When Ye Xiyuan heard the system report that Murong Yanshus favorability rate had risen to 55%, she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced that she had guessed right. At this rate, completing the mission tonight should be possible.

After Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao left, she turned around and looked at the butler with a smile, Uncle, if youre busy, you can leave first. Ill be fine alone.

After speaking, she beamed sweetly at the butler, looking like a little girl unaware of the ways of the world.

The butlers expression didnt change. He continued speaking respectfully, Miss Ye, since the Young Master ordered me to stay by your side, then my duty now is to take good care of you.

Seeing the butlers insistence, Ye Xiyuan didnt say anything more. Moreover, she felt it might actually be good for the butler to stay with her now.

She had already noticed quite a few young ladies at the banquet were hostile towards her. Now that Nangong Xuyao was gone, those women were ready to make trouble for her!

Of course, she wasnt afraid of these people. But she had come today with a mission. If the mission failed because of these people, it would be too disappointing. Therefore, with the Nangong family butler present, he could at least deter these people a little.

What was most important for her now was to think of a way to quickly improve Murong Yanshus impression of her. Although Murong Yanshus favorability of her had risen a bit, there was still some distance from success.

On the other side, Murong Yanshu had already brought Nangong Xuyao to the entrance. They happened to run into Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying coming in. Behind them was their youngest son, Huangfu Ruixiang.

Because Nangong Xuyaos father, who was also the head of the Nangong family, was overseas for business and couldnt make it back, everything tonight had to be handled by Murong Yanshu as the matriarch.

After the meeting, everyone engaged in some small talk..
