Yu Chengwu had recently heard some rumors that he wanted to take advantage of an overseas route to expand the Yu family's business overseas. As a result, he frequently brought his translator and lover, Ellie, to various high-end social venues. This time, he came to the mainland because he heard that the foreigner, Smith, liked antiques and wanted to find something presentable to him.

“You’ve all seen their information and news. Qin Xiao has received various etiquette training, so he shouldn’t have any problems in this area. The higher-ups are worried that you, Weiwei, might not be able to adapt.”

Ye Weiwei recalled the description of Ellie in the information and felt that there should be no problem with the character's personality. She looked at Chu Zhao with puzzlement: "Explain in detail. What aspect are you worried I might make a mistake in?"

Chu Zhao: "There are some etiquette rules to be aware of in high society, such as ballroom dancing."

Even with Qin Xiao's guidance, beginners can still tell the difference.

Ye Weiwei smiled and said, "You can rest assured about that. I know everything I need to know."

I know things I shouldn't know.

I heard that the security situation in Hong Kong is terrible, with frequent gang fights. It's time for her to take out her Tang sword, dagger, pistol, and grenades from her spatial storage for a breath of fresh air.

Chu Zhao felt relieved after hearing Ye Weiwei's words.

Time is of the essence, and they cannot afford to waste any more time. It is best that Ye Weiwei does not need emergency training.

Carrying all sorts of paperwork and luggage, as well as a suitcase prepared by Chu Zhao for storing antiques, Ye Weiwei and Qin Xiao successfully passed through security after going through layers of checks and arrived in Hong Kong.

The Yu family's car was already waiting. As soon as they saw Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei, they immediately walked up respectfully, bowed, took their suitcases, opened the back door for Qin Xiao, and after Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei got in, they closed the door, started the car, and drove to the Yu family villa.

The Yu family truly lived up to their reputation as a prominent family in Hong Kong. This villa occupied several thousand square meters, almost taking up the entire hilltop, and its interior was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, giving Ye Weiwei the feeling of returning to the Ye family's old house before the apocalypse.

Although the Yu family is small, the Yu family villa does not feel deserted, as it has dozens of servants.

As soon as the car stopped, the driver opened the door for Qin Xiao to get out, and they saw servants standing on both sides, bowing to them in unison.

"Greetings, young master!"

Qin Xiao raised his chin slightly, nodded with an air of superiority, and ordered, "Bring my luggage and the things I brought back to my room."

Butler Yu Wen immediately ordered someone to take care of it, and then said solicitously, "Master and Madam have been talking about the eldest young master these past few days, hoping for his return!"

Qin Xiao hummed in agreement and loosened his tie. "I'll go take a shower and change my clothes before I go see them."

Upon receiving the order, the butler immediately replied, "Hot water has always been prepared, and everything in your room has been replaced with new items."

Qin Xiao nodded in satisfaction, then pointed to Ye Weiwei: "Arrange a guest room for Miss Ellie, the one next to mine. She's been staying at home these past few days."

The housekeeper quickly responded, and then showed more enthusiasm towards Ye Weiwei, who had previously ignored her. "Miss Ellie, I'll have the maid prepare your room right away. Please wait a moment."

Ye Weiwei smiled politely and said, "Thank you for your help, Butler Yu."

Half an hour later, Ye Weiwei's room was ready. She changed her clothes and took a shower, then stayed in the room until the housekeeper sent a maid to knock on the door and invite her down for dinner.

Qin Xiao and Yu's parents were already seated in the restaurant. When Ye Weiwei came down, Yu's mother showed some displeasure, but she didn't say anything because of her status. She just glanced at Ye Weiwei and then ignored her, pretending that she didn't exist.

Mr. Yu greeted her politely, "Are you Miss Ellie? Please have a seat."

Ye Weiwei thanked him politely and then sat down in the seat to Qin Xiao's left.

Seeing this, Yu's mother gave her a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

Dinner was very plentiful.

There were only four people at the table, but there were eighteen dishes.

No one spoke at the Yu family dinner table; the rules were very strict.

After the meal was finished, less than a third of the dishes on the table had been touched.

As Ye Weiwei watched the servants clear away the dishes, she was thinking, "If this were in China, such a waste of food would surely get me invited to various committees for tea."

After dinner, Yu's father asked Qin Xiao to go upstairs to the study for a talk.

Yu's father knew Qin Xiao and Ye Weiwei's identities, so Ye Weiwei didn't pay much attention, because Yu's mother was keeping her in the living room to reprimand her.

"Miss Ellie, may I ask what your family does?"

Even with a simple inquiry, Yu's mother exuded an air of superiority, her gaze seeming to say, "Don't try to lie, I've already seen through you."

Ye Weiwei said calmly, "I am an orphan. My parents died when I was young. I grew up in my uncle's house. Later, my uncle and his family moved abroad, and I went abroad with them. I only came back after I became an adult."

Mother Yu's voice was cold and indifferent: "So that's how it is. No wonder Miss Ellie seems so independent. Unlike our Chengwu's fiancée, Miss Shi Shuangshuang, who was pampered at home and has never even left Hong Kong."

If she hadn't been mindful that she couldn't let her persona crumble, Ye Weiwei would have almost rolled her eyes.

If you want to say that she's wild and not good enough for his son, just say so directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush?

Ye Weiwei pretended not to understand and smiled faintly.

Seeing that she was being tactless, Yu's mother added, "When it comes to marriage, the principle of matching social status has always been important. Two people who are not well-matched are like clowns who have wandered into the wrong room; they don't fit in at all. Don't you think so?"

Ye Weiwei blinked twice: "Mrs. Yu, are you saying I'm ugly?"

A hint of impatience appeared on Mrs. Yu's face. She picked up her teacup, took an elegant sip, and then put it down. "Miss Ellie, don't pretend to be confused with me. Think carefully about what I'm saying. Our Yu family will never marry a woman like you."

Ye Weiwei looked at Yu's mother expectantly, but Yu's mother frowned at her gaze. "What do you mean by this?"

Ye Weiwei answered honestly, "I'm waiting for your next move."

According to the usual tropes in novels and TV dramas, shouldn't the next step be to use money to bribe her into leaving her beloved son?

This mother is no good. She's been waiting for ages and there's still no response. It's obvious she's not skilled in her job.

She was wondering whether she should remind the other person.

Upon hearing this, Yu's mother frowned even more deeply: "What next step?"

She thought Ye Weiwei was pretending to be ignorant. "Don't think you can fool me like this. I've seen many women like you. Chengwu has been surrounded by women all these years. You're not the first, nor will you be the last. No matter what he does outside, there can only be one young mistress of the Yu family. None of you are worthy of it!"
