"Brother, what do you mean by that?"
"It's nothing." Wen Lijing didn't elaborate. "We'll talk about it later. I have some things to take care of. You should also prepare yourself."
"good."
......
At 7 p.m., a grand banquet was held at a six-star hotel owned by the Wens Group.
The meticulously decorated banquet hall was bustling with activity, as people clinked glasses and toasted each other.
Wen Xue wore a haute couture dress, and her entire appearance was exquisite, down to the last strand of her hair.
Eleven was also dressed up carefully, wearing a black suit with a small bow tie, looking incredibly handsome.
The moment the two appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of the guests, who came up with wine glasses to exchange pleasantries and take a closer look at the legendary young master of the Zhan family.
Wen Xue held Eleven in one arm and held a champagne glass in the other while socializing with the guests.
Eleven looked unhappy, so she simply leaned on Wen Xue's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.
"What's wrong with the young master?"
"She's quite aloof."
"That's right, they were born at a peak that others can't reach."
Wen Xue explained with a smile, "He's probably tired. Aunt Liu, why don't you take Eleven over there to rest for a bit?"
"Yes." Aunt Liu quickly took Eleven away.
While attending to social obligations, Wen Xue kept her attention on the time.
She waited and waited, but Qiao Wanwan didn't show up. Finally, she couldn't help but go outside and take out her phone to make a call.
The phone went unanswered, and Wen Xue frowned, quite dissatisfied.
The next second, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang in her ears, "Miss Wen, were you waiting for me?"
Wen Xue subconsciously looked up and saw Qiao Wanwan walking over in high heels.
The girl wore a hazy blue evening gown with an asymmetrical off-the-shoulder design, exuding both casualness and sexiness. The excellent tailoring perfectly accentuated her figure.
Qiao Wanwan wore light makeup, which made her already outstanding features even more three-dimensional and radiant, making her indescribably beautiful.
Wen Xue's breath hitched.
She has always been confident in her looks, and with the added advantage of being the eldest daughter of the Wen family, she is an exceptional person who has won at the starting line.
The title of "First Socialite of the Capital" is not only a symbol of status, but also of appearance; this title signifies that her beauty is unmatched.
She knew Qiao Wanwan was beautiful, but she always felt that she was just as beautiful as her.
Now, for the first time in her life, Wen Xue felt inferior.
She thought she would never feel inferior in her life, but now it has appeared without any warning!
It turns out that once Qiao Wanwan dresses up, she can completely outshine her!
Wen Xue felt a chill creep up from the soles of her feet, and in an instant it spread to her limbs and bones, making her feel as if she were in an ice cellar!
Qiao Wanwan hadn't worn high heels in a long time, so she walked rather slowly. When she arrived in front of Wen Xue, she found her still in a daze, and couldn't help but wave her hand in front of her, "Miss Wen, you've had too much to drink so quickly?"
Wen Xue composed herself, trying to remain calm, and said, "Of course not, it's good that Miss Qiao is here. I'll take you to your room to rest."
Before Qiao Wanwan could speak, she heard Eleven's excited voice, "Sister Wanwan!"
Eleven came running over with her short legs, "You're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
Qiao Wanwan smiled and touched his face, "You look so handsome today, Eleven."
"Sister Wanwan is very pretty too! You're the prettiest girl of all today!"
Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "Eleven has such a sweet tongue."
Wen Xue was trembling with anger standing to the side!
Eleven took Qiao Wanwan's hand and walked into the banquet hall. "Sister Wanwan, come with me. I found something really delicious. I'll take you to eat it now."
Before Wen Xue could stop her, Qiao Wanwan was led into the banquet hall by Shiyi.
She closed her eyes and hurriedly followed. Sure enough, everyone's attention was drawn to Qiao Wanwan, their eyes following her, and some people couldn't help but gossip.
"When did such a stunning beauty appear in the capital? I've never seen her before!"
I need all her information within ten minutes!
"I have a photographic memory for beautiful women. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before, but I just can't remember..."
Ignoring the onlookers, Qiao Wanwan went with Shiyi to the dessert table to get some food.
"Miss," a young man approached, carrying two wine glasses, "may I have the honor of having a drink with you?"
"Sorry, I don't drink alcohol."
"This is champagne, not wine."
"Then I won't drink champagne."
"......"
“You may not know me yet,” the young man said, raising an eyebrow with a hint of pride. “My name is Wen Simiao, and I am the young master of the Wen family. This banquet tonight is hosted by my cousin, so I am the host and naturally I should invite the guests to have a drink.”
Qiao Wanwan raised her chin. "Why don't you go ask my male companion if I can drink this?"
Wen Simiao turned his head and saw Zhan Yin, who looked dashing in a white suit, walk in.
"Are you Young Master Yin's date?"
“No.” Qiao Wanwan smiled. “I am his aunt.”
Wen Simiao: "..."
"What did you say? You're Zhan Yin's aunt?"
Someone nearby exclaimed, "I remember who she is! Isn't she the woman who suddenly married that guy from the Zhan family?!"
"What? Wasn't he supposed to be lame and ugly? How could he possibly look like this!"
"So this is the woman who was lame, ugly, and had a child before, but ended up marrying Master Zhan..."
"She must have had to go back to school for further education..."
"Where was it built? I want to rebuild it too!"
