Huo gradually curled his lips into a smile, his eyes turning cold. "Miss Lin is indeed very eloquent. As Huo Xian's older sister, am I not a daughter of the Huo family?"
Lin Ruanruan didn't want to waste her breath talking to Huo Jianjian; talking to someone like that would only lower her already low IQ.
Seeing that the person still wanted to leave, Huo Jianjian went up and grabbed Lin Ruanruan's hand. "Miss Lin, your sisters are all waiting for you. They are all daughters of wealthy families, so please don't be rude."
"If word gets out, people might say the Lin family is arrogant and looks down on us."
Fang Lan raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but Lin Ruanruan shook her hand, signaling her not to start a conflict.
"Alright then, since Miss Huo is so enthusiastic, shall we go take a look together?"
Sometimes, simply backing down isn't an option. Anyway, Fang Lan is there; if anything goes wrong, we can just pull her away and run.
Huo smiled with satisfaction. "That's more like it. Come with me, they're all waiting for you in the private room upstairs."
"It's all girls in the private room, so I think it's best if the boys don't come along."
Fang Lan frowned. He didn't believe that this Huo Jianjian was so kind as to invite Ruan Ruan up for a heart-to-heart talk.
Xu Chaosheng, who had been quietly following behind, stepped forward and said, "Oh? Which families' daughters are here? I might know them all and could say hello."
Huo Jianjian then noticed Xu Chaosheng. "Young Master Xu, what are you doing here?"
Xu Chaosheng raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Why can't I be here? Ruan Ruan, Fang Lan, and I are all good friends."
He emphasized the words "good friend," and his face showed the demeanor of a sunny and cheerful young man.
He originally wanted to get closer to Fang Lan, Huo Xian, and the others, but unexpectedly, Huo Xian appeared out of nowhere, and now he can't stand Huo Xian anymore.
Huo Jianjian walked over to Xu Chaosheng with a charming smile, shyly tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I was just a little surprised to see you here, Mr. Xu. I heard you went on vacation abroad and I thought I wouldn't see you this time."
"My name is Huo Jianjian. Young Master Xu, may we add each other as friends and get to know each other?"
Lin Ruanruan and Fang Lan exchanged a glance; Huo Jianjian's expression changed quite quickly.
Xu Chaosheng looked somewhat disgusted. The Huo family was only supported by Huo Yaozu, and had nothing to do with Huo Jianjian's father, Huo Guangzong.
Everyone in the industry knows that Huo Guangzong's family are bloodsuckers, constantly clinging to Huo Yaozu and sucking his blood.
This good-for-nothing still wants to get to know him? That's nothing short of delusional.
Despite his inner disdain, Xu Chaosheng didn't show it on his face. He still smiled brightly and said, "Weren't we here to invite Ruan Ruan up? Let's go up and say hello."
Huo pursed his lips, glanced at the people around him, and decided not to pester them any further. He then led everyone onto the elevator.
She kept talking to Xu Chaosheng along the way, and Xu Chaosheng, concerned about his appearance, chatted with her casually.
This made Huo very happy. The Xu family was a top-tier enterprise in the country. If she could catch Xu Chaosheng's eye, she would have nothing to worry about for the rest of her life.
So she tried her best to exude her charm along the way, forgetting to inform the 'sisters' in the private room that others had come along.
Everyone in the private room still thought that Huo Jianjian had only invited Lin Ruanruan.
So when Huo gradually opened the private room door, bursts of undisguised laughter came from inside.
"Oh my god, Lin Tianba mistook someone else for someone else at his first banquet? That's so lame!"
"I understand, I come from the countryside, I've never seen much of the world, hahaha."
"His daughter is old-fashioned too, and I heard she looks kind of dull-witted, but now she actually thinks she's someone important. Don't you think so, Sister Yin'er?"
Liang Yin'er's spoiled voice rang out, "Don't say that. Who knows, we might all be sisters in the future. Don't bully people just because they're stupid or country bumpkins."
"Sister Yin'er, you're too kind."
Liang Yin'er said gently, "It's alright. I'm always a magnanimous person. She'll apologize to me later. We're all sisters in the industry, so let's be considerate of each other."
Lin Ruanruan, who overheard the entire conversation: ...What kind of 'palace intrigue' is this?
And all this talk of older and younger sisters, it's like something out of a Qing Dynasty drama.
Liang Yin'er pretended to be so gentle, generous, and mature, but everything she said was demeaning to her.
If she really didn't know anything, she would be heartbroken to hear all this. Everyone around her was belittling her parents and looking down on her. If this continued, she would only be manipulated into feeling worthless and becoming a dog who only listens to these people.
Unfortunately, these people are destined not to succeed in their PUA tactics. She has a very positive view of her parents and is very satisfied with her family background.
Fang Lan: ...His fists clenched tightly; he knew this was a trap.
Xu Chaosheng: ...It was actually that idiot Liang Yin'er who ruined his plans.
Huo Jianjian: ...Oh dear, I forgot to tell them that Xu Chaosheng is here.
Liang Yin'er seemed to only then notice that the door to the private room around the corner had opened ajar. "Huh? Jianjian, you brought Ruanruan up here?"
Huo hesitated for a moment but still stepped forward. Her smile was somewhat forced. "Sister Yin'er, she's here."
Not only Lin Ruanruan came, but Xu Chaosheng and a young master from an unknown family also came.
Liang Yin'er was sitting in the main seat. She glanced at Huo Jianjian casually and said as if bestowing a reward, "Then Ru'er, bring a chair for Jianjian to sit on."
Ru'er pushed a stool for Huo Jianjian to sit on, but Huo Jianjian rolled her eyes at her and then sat back down in her own seat.
Huo Jianjian couldn't help but clench her skirt tightly; these people all looked down on her.
