Aside from Zhou Xiaoxuan’s exclamatory cry, there were no other familiar faces around. Everyone was overawed by the scene, and nobody greeted her. However, Yan Xixi stood calmly in the middle, not feeling awkward at all. A server approached with red wine, very politely saying, "Please..." She took a glass with a smile. "Thank you." Even her manners were dignified and elegant.
She had put in significant effort for this. During the years she was a con artist, she had practiced every trick in the book. This included mastering how to smile, how to feign elegance, and how to make herself appear as poised and affluent as possible. When a man saw a noble and elegant beautiful woman, he wouldn’t have the slightest thought of associating her with a con.
Otherwise, if she looked like a rough and vulgar little delinquent, who would willingly foot the bill?
All eyes again filled with astonishnt: it was one thing to be beautiful, but her dignified behavior was also striking.
Even Zhou Ting couldn’t find any fault in her, only sneering inwardly, This woman, she really dares to put on airs.
Rina, unable to bear it any longer, forced a smile. "Hi, Miss Yan."
Yan Xixi’s gaze fell on Rina’s hand. Seeing the rock on her ring finger, she praised, "Miss Rina, you truly live up to your reputation. Wow, what a beautiful ring."
Rina, with an air of feigned casualness, raised her hand to touch her freshly dyed burgundy hair. "Thank you," she said, her tone deliberately nonchalant.
Nearby, soone whispered, "Given by the Third Young Master, right?"
"Definitely," another voice added. "The Third Young Master has always been generous."
Rina said nothing, only smiling as she watched Yan Xixi. Everyone else was also watching Yan Xixi.
She was still smiling broadly, looking absolutely thrilled. "Congratulations."
There wasn’t a hint of the embarrassnt or dejection typical of a cast-off wife. It was as if her sole purpose in coming was to wear the sa outfit as Rina and get a look at Wan Donglin’s new fla: Oh, so it’s you.
Soone walked up, and all eyes fell on him.
He stared intently at Yan Xixi, his eyes shining with an extrely bizarre light: anger, hatred, lewdness, greed... A maelstrom of emotions, deeply troubled.
Upon seeing him, Yan Xixi recoiled as though she had seen a disgusting bug.
Zhou Ting, however, started laughing, secretly rejoicing, Serves you right.
Wang Xiaohao raised his wine glass and sneered, "Miss Yan, long ti no see. You must have a good drink with today."
Raising his glass, he clearly saw that Yan Xixi was alone and had been abandoned by the Third Young Master. Let’s see what trouble she can stir now, he thought.
Wang Xiaohao was infamous in their circle. He was also short and chubby, like Wu Dalang. Standing opposite her, he was a good half a head shorter than Yan Xixi.
Everyone present watched this spectacle with curiosity.
Wang Xiaohao, eager for revenge, scoffed, "Without the Third Young Master here, Miss Yan, you must be lonely, right? Why not have a drink with ?"
Yan Xixi smiled charmingly and raised her glass.
Wang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up.
He felt dazzled, and the anger from his previous humiliation dissipated. The beauty’s every expression, her captivating smile, instantly lted him to the core.
"Have a drink with , and I won’t dwell on the past..." he began.
"I have this quirk," Yan Xixi interrupted, "I only drink with my friends. You are not my friend. Why should I drink with you?"
Wang Xiaohao’s face flushed red, then turned pale.
Everyone present glanced at each other in disbelief.
Even Rina couldn’t believe her eyes. My God, she thought, this woman dares to be so arrogant! With no backing at all, on what grounds does she act so defiantly?
