Zhou Yuntang's frustration did not affect the success of the welcome banquet. He was quickly sent to the lounge.

Shi Miao still followed behind his uncle and aunt, looking well-behaved and harmless.

Her roommates were snapping photos non-stop, their hearts aflutter. Thanks to Shi Miao, they'd finally gotten to see the so-called upper-class elite. Many of them were prominent figures they'd seen in financial magazines.

Because of Shi Miao's instructions, the servants at the banquet took great care of Luo Wenjing and the others, so they weren't as nervous as they were at the beginning. After all, manpower was limited, and if they took care of one side, they would naturally neglect the other.

The ones Zhou Man brought along were the roommates she had brought with her. This was largely due to Zhou Man's belief that these commoner roommates were lucky enough to be brought here to see the world. She was also naive, romantic, and carefree, so naturally, she couldn't think of any instructions.

In fact, the Wen family's servants were very professional, but they couldn't stand the comparison. They suddenly felt unbalanced.

Especially Shi Miao, who was adored by everyone. Just a few months ago, her status was even lower than theirs. They were well-off, but Shi Miao was an orphan. Yet, Shi Miao soared to fame and fortune, becoming the eldest daughter of the Wen family...

"Miao is really powerful at this time. She can get so many people to say good things about her."

"How could we possibly enter a wealthy family without being capable? We're just too honest, and honest people are more likely to suffer these days. She has no connection to our lives, so no matter how successful she is, it has nothing to do with us. I'm just worried about Manman. Manman is so innocent, will she bully her in the future?"

"Who knows? Manman is just too kindhearted. It's said she donated over 20 million yuan to her to build a good karma." An Fei, Zhou Man's best friend, couldn't help but look at her with jealousy. 20 million yuan was enough to buy several houses in S City.

If I could give her a little of this money...

Twenty million plus is a sum that many people could never earn in their entire lives. The girls were all stunned when they heard this for the first time. They once again felt the gap between people from that class and ordinary people like them, which was so huge that it made them despair.

Ji Jingyao's sister, Ji Rongzhen, was nearby. Upon hearing this, her brows furrowed. Judging from their tone, they were Zhou Man's roommates. Their attitudes revealed Zhou Man's attitude towards Shi Miao.

Judging from this, Zhou Man isn't as kind and innocent as the legend says. It's best to avoid dealing with her in the future.

She thought about this secretly, and when her brother Ji Jingyao came back, she remembered the important matter again and pulled him aside to whisper, "Brother, you can't rely on your good looks to pursue girls in such a childish way."

For the first time, Ji Jingyao was left speechless by his sister's train of thought. "No pursuit."

Ji Rongzhen snorted softly, "I'm not that easily fooled. You didn't lose anything important, so why bother arguing with Shi Miao about it? You're just looking for an excuse to show off your presence in front of her. The boys in our class don't use this trick to pursue girls anymore."

Ji Jingyao rarely felt like he had no way to defend himself. He couldn't possibly tell his sister that he was forcefully kissed, could he? If he did, no one would believe him and they would think he was taking advantage of him.

Seeing that her brother didn't say anything, Ji Rongzhen looked a little proud, "You can't fool me."

Even his sister said so, Ji Jingyao couldn't help but wonder if other people thought so too?

His eyes fell on Shi Miao. Under the light, she was as beautiful as a fairy. She looked particularly well-behaved and weak as she followed Wang Hui. She didn't look like someone who had the power to control him at all.

The kiss that day unconsciously emerged in his mind.

Soft lips, a passion that seemed to devour him to the bone...

Ji Rongzhen was laughing secretly beside him - his brother was actually staring at Shi Miao in a daze, and his ears were red!

I didn't expect him to be like this when he fell in love with someone. Although this ruined the impression he had left on people before, it was still quite cute.

…

Shi Miao escaped from the banquet and went to the garden to enjoy the cool breeze. Because of her uncle's favor, she became the most popular person in the place tonight. After all the socializing, she was really a little tired.

Some people had heard of her fortune-teller and wanted to make an appointment with her for a divination. But before she could even open her mouth, her uncle stopped her, saying that the other party was trying to shorten her life.

After she said this, no one dared to ask her for help in front of her.

Shi Miao also met the parents of Zhou Man's fiancé Pei Ze. She had a decent impression of them. It was said that they spent 100 million yuan on charity every year to pray for their eldest son who was in a vegetative state, and they also spent money on seeking out masters, but unfortunately, all the money they spent on seeking out masters was wasted.

Shi Miao read their faces and predicted that their eldest son would die in a fire next year. Pei's mother, devastated by the shock, would fall from a tall building in a trance the year after. Pei's father would also become seriously ill. In that case, Pei Ze would become the head of the Pei family.

Shi Miao didn't like Pei Ze. Although tonight was the first time she and Pei Ze met, she still sensed his hidden hostility. She didn't know what Zhou Man had said to him that made him dislike her so much.

Well, if I have a chance someday, I can check on the Pei family's eldest young master's condition and see if I can help him wake up or even recover his health. As long as the Pei family's eldest young master is alive, he is the rightful heir.

She was thinking about this matter, and when she heard footsteps, she turned around, her expression showing a little more understanding - Ji Jingyao.

The other party really refuses to give up.

With the other party's inquisitive attitude, it was only a matter of time before they found out about her. Even if they didn't find out, they would continue to probe her endlessly, which was really annoying. She should just get to the root of the problem.
