Arriving at Phoenix Perch Tower
Bai Qianmo got out of the car with Xu Jinwei.
Before me stands a five-story European-style building. Seeing this building in real life is quite different from looking at old photographs.
While it may not rival the prosperity of modern cities, it is already considered a very luxurious building in this time and space.
"Miss Xu!" The servant at the door greeted Xu Jinwei respectfully as soon as he saw her.
It seems that Xu Jinwei comes here often.
After taking the elevator to the third floor, a personal attendant was waiting at the elevator entrance and led them to a private room.
"Jinwei, you've finally arrived."
As soon as Xu Jinwei entered the room, someone spoke, their voice clear and pleasant.
"We were just saying that if you don't come soon, we'll order the most expensive thing in the restaurant and wait for you to come and pay the bill."
"Hehe, order whatever you like, it's on me today."
Bai Qianmo walked in and glanced indifferently at the situation in the private room.
It's still a European-style building, with several landscape oil paintings hanging on the walls. There's a floor-to-ceiling window in the private room, from which you can see the lake not far away.
The lush green water was calm and still, with several painted boats moored on it.
When I looked away, I felt two pairs of eyes scrutinizing me.
Bai Qianmo then turned her gaze to the two people in the room.
The two girls in front of them looked to be about the same age, with pretty faces and decent clothes.
It's obvious at a glance that she's a young lady from a wealthy family.
After Xu Jinwei sat down, she seemed to have forgotten about Bai Qianmo behind her.
He was chatting casually with the girl across from him.
One of the long-haired girls looked at Bai Qianmo somewhat awkwardly.
"Jinwei, who is this young lady?"
Xu Jinwei then turned her gaze to Bai Qianmo, as if she had just remembered her.
"Oh, this is my fourth sister, Xu Jin'en. You should all know her."
"She's Miss Xu, who grew up in the countryside." The woman who spoke had long, curly hair in a Western style and was dressed in a very avant-garde outfit for the time.
"It's her. She just came back from the countryside and isn't very familiar with Shanghai yet, so as her older sister, I brought her out to broaden her horizons."
"That's true. People who grow up in poor rural areas will find everything new and exciting when they suddenly come to the most prosperous city in the country, Shanghai."
Xu Jinwei's words to the Westernized girl were laced with mockery.
Bai Qianmo sat down with an indifferent expression, her eyes fixed straight ahead.
The Westernized girl thought her words would make Bai Qianmo turn away in shame and anger, but to her surprise, Bai Qianmo sat down without caring at all.
His brow furrowed involuntarily.
"They really don't know any manners at all. They're just like people from a small town who grow up wildly." The Westernized girl sneered.
Xu Jinwei glanced at Bai Qianmo: "Fourth Sister, Yulan is hosting today, and she hasn't asked you to sit down yet."
"Jinwei, your fourth sister is so impolite!"
Bai Qianmo raised an eyebrow slightly, a faint hint of mockery in her eyes.
"Politeness? Miss, I don't see those two words in you."
Shen Yulan's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
Bai Qianmo continued, "All I see in you is malice and mockery towards strangers. How could a well-mannered young lady say such extremely rude things?"
"you……"
"Alright, alright, Yulan, I think Miss Xu is right. You did go a bit too far just now."
The girl who hadn't spoken until now finally spoke up.
"Kong Ling'er, why are you siding with outsiders?" Shen Yulan's cheeks puffed out.
Upon hearing this name, a dark current suddenly flashed in Bai Qianmo's calm eyes.
Kong Ling'er? Isn't this the head of Jinling Hall, and Wei Lao's grandmother?
Bai Qianmo was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would get to know Xu Jinen's best friend Kong Ling'er in this way.
This... made her increasingly doubt the reality of this world.
Who exactly is Xu Jin'en?
Or rather, is she Xu Jin'en or Bai Qianmo?
No, she is Bai Qianmo. She just came to another space in a parallel universe due to an accident.
Everything here is only temporary; she will surely return to her own world.
As far as she knew, in several historical cases of time travel, the individuals involved would stay in the other time and space for a period of time before automatically returning to their original time and space.
This can be understood as the universe being a very sophisticated system, and when a bug appears in the system, the universe can repair the fault itself.
Therefore, she will leave this place sooner or later.
Kong Ling'er smiled gently and said, "I'm just going by reason, not by kinship. Besides, Miss Xu is Jinwei's sister."
Kong Ling'er's words are very profound.
Xu Jinwei originally wanted to make things difficult for Bai Qianmo with the help of her two friends, but Kong Ling'er turned against her and even retorted with a remark.
Now, if she doesn't say something, it seems like she's deliberately bullying her younger sister.
"Alright, Yulan, my fourth sister just got back and doesn't know the rules here yet, so don't take it personally. I'm hungry, let's order some food. We're going to go boating on the lake after we eat."
Shen Yulan glanced at Xu Jinwei.
She was trying to vent this girl's anger, but now she's the one caught in the middle.
"You guys order yourselves, I have no appetite."
After uttering a resentful remark, Miss Shen Yulan, her temper flaring, got up and left without any politeness.
Kong Ling'er sighed.
“When this young lady gets angry, no one can stop her. Let her go out for some fresh air, Miss Xu. Please don’t mind her.”
Kong Ling'er spoke gently, and her every move exuded the grace and demeanor expected of a lady from a respectable family.
Bai Qianmo chuckled dismissively and didn't say anything more.
Kong Ling'er couldn't help but take another curious look at Bai Qianmo.
I often hear Xu Jinwei mention the fourth young lady of the Xu family, whom I have never met.
From Xu Jinwei's words, she heard about a dull, wooden, and foolish fourth Miss Xu, but the Xu Jin'en she saw today was completely different from the one she had heard about from Xu Jinwei, both in appearance and temperament.
"Ah! What are you doing? Let me go!"
A scream came from outside the door from Shen Yulan.
"It's a magnolia!" Kong Ling'er's expression changed drastically.
"Let's go out and take a look."
Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er hurriedly left, while Bai Qianmo slowly picked up a cup of tea from the table and took a sip.
Then, Shen Yulan's scream came from outside the door again.
"Let me go! Do you know who I am? I am a young lady from the Shen family. You dare to touch me? My father will never let you off easily."
"Hehe, little girl, you've got quite a background. The Shen family? Which Shen family? If you have the guts, tell me your father's name."
The leader had a lewd smile on his face, his eyes greedily staring at Shen Yulan as he looked her up and down.
