In the Lan family villa, in Lan Xi's bedroom.

Lan Xi immediately agreed to Lu Sichen's plan to come to the Lan family to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year!

However, she is still unclear about the family's arrangements during the Chinese New Year.

So she would ask her parents which day they would be free at home so that Lu Sichen could come without any regrets.

Since Lu Sichen is coming to the Lan family to pay New Year's greetings, it's a give-and-take. Lan Xi must also go to the Lu family and say Happy New Year to Grandpa Lu in person.

So she also asked Lu Sichen, "Brother Lu, when is Grandpa Lu free?"

Lu Sichen was clear about his grandfather's arrangements.

"Some relatives will come to our house on the first day of the Lunar New Year. From the second day to the seventh day, we are all free."

Lan Xi nodded, "Then I'll find time to go there."

Lu Sichen responded with, “Yeah.”

After the two agreed to wish each other a happy new year, Lan Xi asked about the recent situation of the "evil spirit cat".

Lu Sichen replied, "The little black cat is very obedient. He usually stays by my side without running around or making any noises."

When Lu Sichen said this, he did not regard the black cat as an ordinary pet.

During this time, when Lu Sichen was getting along with the black cat, he found that the cat's body was cold and it did not breathe like a living thing, but it was able to move flexibly, think, and understand what people said.

Black cats look no different from normal cats.

Although Lu Sichen didn't know the background of this black cat, he roughly guessed that the black cat, like the small black shadow he saw when he encountered an unusual situation at the Lan family before, was not something that should exist in the world of the living.

If other people discovered these things, they would probably feel frightened and scared of the black cat.

But because Lu Sichen trusted the little girl, he was only a little surprised at first that the black cat was not alive, but then he accepted the black cat's abnormality.

On the phone, Lan Xi learned that the 'evil demon cat' had been following 'Xiang Bo Bo' all the time and had no intention of running away.

She was very satisfied with the result.

At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh that the attraction of the "hot cake" was indeed very great, which made the "evil spirit cat" so obedient!

After asking about the situation of the 'evil demon cat', Lan Xi asked Lu Sichen if he had encountered any dangerous situations recently.

In other words, have the white jade pendants and bracelets he carried with him been damaged again for no reason?

After learning that everything was back to normal, Lan Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the time that the 'evil demon cat' has been with Lu Sichen has really made him a lot safer.

However, she would have to ask in detail whether there were any evil spirits trying to harm Lu Sichen after she saw the "evil spirit cat".

The call lasted for more than half an hour before being hung up.

During the whole process, Lan Xi didn't feel that he had been chatting with the "hot potato" for a long time, but time passed very quickly.

After ending the call, I looked at the time and it was already noon.

Lan Xi went downstairs to eat. In the restaurant, her parents, and her older brothers were all at home.

Before dinner, Lan Xucheng spoke and said something.

To be precise, except for Lan Xi, everyone else in the family already knew about this matter—

He said, "There's a business dinner tonight. It's in the city, not far from our home. Xixi, as a major shareholder of our group, you should also attend."

After hearing what his father said, Lan Xi thought about it and then nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lan Xucheng continued, "Then Ziji, go arrange a makeup artist and stylist for your sister."

"The girls from our Lan family are definitely the most beautiful at the banquet!"

An old father always has a mysterious trust in his daughter...

Lan Xucheng made the decision immediately, and Lan Ziji immediately called to inform him that the makeup and styling team he had arranged long ago would come to his house in the afternoon.

Lan Zimo was not idle either.

After lunch, when the styling team arrived, Lan Zimo, with his vision as a renowned director, gave constructive suggestions on clothing and makeup.

He wanted to make sure his sister looked her best under any lighting at the dinner party!

After a few months, Lan Xi wore a dress again.

Although I still felt a little uncomfortable when I wore it this time, it was much better than last time.

Things like skirts are something you get used to the first time.

Maybe after wearing it a few times, she will get used to it...

…

At 7:30 in the evening, in the largest banquet hall of Haicheng Hotel.

The Lan family attended the event in their best attire!

Lan Xucheng was dressed in a black suit, exuding a majestic aura.

Liu Qinxin was wearing an emerald green embroidered cheongsam and a full set of jade jewelry worth nine figures.

Her elegant and noble temperament, standing next to Lan Xucheng, the couple complement each other.

Lan Ziji was wearing a dark grey, well-tailored suit, which made him look calm and serious.

The color of the suit Lan Zimo wore was lighter than that of his elder brother.

He is taciturn and has an indifferent look in his eyes, making people afraid to approach him easily.

The other members of the family were dressed up, so Lan Xi's outfit naturally wouldn't be too bad.

This is because of the minimalist style she asked her stylist for.

Lan Xi wore a light blue knee-length skirt. Although it did not look that gorgeous, the straps and hem of the skirt were embellished with thousands of diamonds.

The moment she appeared under the lights of the banquet, she was sparkling and dazzling!

As the Lan family is the richest family in Haicheng, they will naturally be the focus of everyone's attention at the banquet.

This is Lan Xi's second appearance in Haicheng's upper-class circles.

Unlike last time, she was initially looked down upon by some of the wealthy daughters of Haicheng.

This time, as soon as she showed up, she was quickly surrounded by girls of her age from various families in Haicheng~!

However, before they could surround her for long, Shen Xue and Du Yuning quickly occupied the left and right sides of Lan Xi.

Xu Rou walked a little slowly and ended up standing next to Du Yuning.

But even so, the young ladies from various families could see that the daughter of the Lan family only communicated with Du Yuning, Shen Xue, and Xu Rou.

For others, there is absolutely no intention of communicating.

Initially, they were a step too late in making friends with the daughter of the Lan family, and now they can no longer catch up...

…

There were no complicated activities at the business dinner. Lan Xi, Shen Xue, Du Yuning, and Xu Rou quickly went to the side to have some snacks and drinks.

As for things like alcohol, whether it was Du Yuning, Shen Xue or Xu Rou, they all tacitly moved those things away from Lan Xi.

They had never seen Lan Xi drink, so they assumed that Lan Xi couldn't drink.

While they were eating desserts and chatting, Song Yanshu, wearing a champagne-colored dress, walked towards Lan Xi with a glass of champagne.

The last time Song Yanshu went to the Lan family, she didn't talk much with Miss Lan because they were discussing attracting investors.

This time, when they met at the dinner party, she naturally had to go over and say hello. (End of this chapter)
