With hair that curled like seaweed draping down her snow-white shoulders, her flawless face was soft like a baby. Her features were perfect and impossible to pick on.
At once, everyone at the scene were at loss for words to describe the beauty of the girl.
She walked on at ease and emitted the sense of nobility that she was born with. It made everyone around her feel like they’ve been robbed of their own beauty.
Most of the people here today were here for their birthday party.
If one described Qiao Qing, when she put in no effort, to be many times better looking than Qiao Nian.
Then Qiao Qing, when she does put in the effort, shouldn’t even be pared to Qiao Nian.
It was like paring a queen to the servant who washed her feet. To say they were night and day wouldn’t even be an exaggeration.
Those who just talked down on Qiao Qing and said she was nothing pared to her cousin, all choked up.
Ignoring all other aspects, in terms of appearance and looks, Qiao Qing had crushed Qiao Nian into pieces.
Qin Yongmei, who just now was all smiles, turned ugly.
Nobody wants to see their daughter as the worse one, especially someone petitive like her.
Since Qiao Qing had stolen everyone’s attention, she forcefully made Qiao Nian sit down on the chair.
After a gentle cough, she looked over to Qiao Zhizhuo, “Dad, isn’t it time for the first ceremonial gesture of the ing of age celebration?”
Qiao Zhizhuo nodded, “Are the two people we invited to b the girls’ hair here?”
Qin Yongmei immediately regained her confidence, “The one I found for Niannian is here. He’s the son of a reputable family from the Capital City!”
Everyone here widened their eyes. Some people even howled in shock.
Though people here were proud of their city and were a munity, the people here knew that pared to the Capital City, the City of Brisk was nothing.
Other than the forces that nobody dared to mention in the City of Brisk, the most powerful family in this city could not mix themselves with the upper class of the Capital City.
This was why there was a saying, “It’s better to have a friend from the Capital City than to have a spouse in the City of Brisk.”
This was why all the parents here cared so much about whether or not their children could enter the University of Capital City. Because those who successfully got in could stay in the city afterward.
Anyone who’s able to form any connection with the people from the Capital City would then be the talk of the town. And here, there was a son from a reputable family in the Capital City.
Almost everyone had their eyes on Qin Yongmei and Qiao Nian. Their gazes were hot.
In the adults’ world, beautiful people were less attractive than power and name.
If Qiao Nian’s family bonds well with someone from the Capital City, then Qiao Nian will be immeasurable in value to the people in the City of Brisk.
Feeling everyone’s jealous gaze made Qin Yongmei extremely proud. She thought the money she spent was well worth it.
Prancing, she made her way to a guy sitting at a table and said respectfully, “Hello, it’s time. Please brush Niannian’s hair for us.”
The man nodded upon hearing this and walked up.
Mu Jinghang glanced at the man standing behind Qiao Nian, then looked over to Jun Yexuan.
“I know everyone from the four powerful forces from the Capital City and all the sons from the eight wealthiest families. How e I’ve never seen that guy?”
It wasn’t just Mu Jinghang. Everyone else from the City of Brisk began to check out the man to figure out which reputable family he was from.
Jun Yexuan ignored him and asked again, “Where’s Qi Yusen?! Can’t you see the ceremony has started?!”
Mu Jinghang too, thought this was not good, “I’ll make another call.”
