In preparation for attending Mrs. Gu's banquet, Sun Yanwan tried on fifty evening gowns at home.
She's going to be the star of the night.
At Mrs. Gu's banquet, she will be the Gu family's granddaughter-in-law.
In any case, she couldn't let the Gu and Sun families lose face.
In the end, she still spent a lot of money to rent a high-end custom-made dress from Jiang Sisi.
The gold fabric, the off-the-shoulder design, and the tightly cinched waist perfectly showcased her figure.
Looking at her bare neck, she thought that one day she would be able to wear a rare piece of jewelry there.
After everything was packed up, we were escorted by the driver.
She arrived at the entrance of the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
The driver opened the car door for her and reached out his hand. Sun Yanwan pretended to take the driver's hand and got out of the car.
As soon as she appeared, her dazzling dress attracted the attention of many women.
The guests for the dinner party arrived one after another.
Everyone there was born into wealth, and their attire reflected that of the rich and powerful. However, the craftsmanship of their formal wear was somewhat inferior to that of Sun Yanwan's.
At this moment, Yun Suiwan arrived late, dressed in an ordinary black dress.
She casually tied a pearl hair clip in her hair and wore light makeup, but the bag in her hand was quite expensive, with only thirty pieces made worldwide, and each one costing nearly 70,000 yuan.
Sun Yanwan naturally saw Yun Suiwan as well.
She walked over and came face to face with Yun Suiwan.
Yun Suiwan was somewhat surprised to see Sun Wanwan. Why was she here?
Sun Yanwan took in her expression. She looked at Yun Suiwan with disdain, noting how cheaply she was dressed.
“Miss Yun, if I’m not mistaken, you’ve worn this dress before, haven’t you?” Sun Yanwan asked in a affected, high-pitched voice.
She was probably about to meet Mrs. Gu, so she started to put on airs, even changing her tone of voice.
"Miss Sun, you are truly amazing. If I'm not mistaken, is that dress you're wearing the latest design this year?"
Sun Yanwan smiled smugly, "You didn't see wrong."
Yun Suiwan looked at her with a disdainful smile. In someone else's territory, why was she dressed so flamboyantly? Was she trying to steal the spotlight?
This place wasn't suitable for dealing with her, so Yun Suiwan decided not to engage in verbal sparring with her.
Just as Yun Suiwan was about to leave, Sun Yanwan caught up with her in two steps. She said to Yun Suiwan, "Miss Yun, from now on we will be on equal footing. It will be difficult for you to suppress me again."
Although she looked down on Gu Fanchu, the Gu family's status was undeniable; they were one of the five most prestigious families in City A, something many socialites and ladies could only dream of.
"Oh? Is that so?" Yun Suiwan smiled faintly and then ignored her.
A hint of smugness appeared in Sun Yanwan's eyes.
In the past, she was more reserved in front of others, after all, her family background couldn't stand scrutiny. But now it's different. She is the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family. Who wouldn't look up to her from now on?
With this in mind, Sun Yanwan walked into the hotel lobby with her head held high.
She was accompanied by other noblewomen and their daughters.
Sun Yanwan tilted her chin slightly, a haughty smile on her face, and nodded to the ladies as a greeting.
Her behavior made the ladies wonder who she was, greeting them with such an attitude.
When the elevator arrived, Sun Yanwan was the first to step inside, and she immediately stood in the middle.
Because there were other people behind them, Yun Suiwan said coldly from the side, "Move aside, you're blocking the way."
Sun Yanwan glanced at Yun Suiwan with displeasure, but she remained unmoved.
Yun Suiwan didn't tolerate her. She walked over and pushed her aside with her bottom. "Can't you see other people can't get on? Don't you know the rules of taking the elevator?"
"Yun Suiwan, are you crazy? You wild woman, all you know how to do is resort to violence."
Sun Yanwan looked at the others and saw that they all had indifferent expressions, and no one was on her side.
Yun Suiwan stood in the corner of the elevator and said, "Next time you want to stand in the middle of the elevator, you'll have to book the whole building. If you don't have that kind of power, then just stand quietly to the side."
"you……"
At that moment, someone chuckled softly.
Listening to Yun Suiwan's ridicule, Sun Yanwan was at a loss for what to do; she could only grit her teeth in anger.
That woman is so annoying!
When they arrived at the banquet, Mrs. Gu and her entourage were already waiting for them at the entrance.
"Mrs. Shang, Mrs. Ye, you've arrived! Welcome, welcome!"
"Mrs. Zheng, your daughter is growing more and more beautiful."
"Mrs. Wang..."
Gu Qianlin greeted the guests warmly.
"Aunt Gu." Yun Suiwan walked over. "My mother is not feeling well and cannot keep our appointment tonight. She asked me to apologize to you."
"Good boy, good boy, Auntie is so happy you could come. What's wrong with your mother?"
"It's a minor issue, nothing serious."
"Okay, I'll go take a look tomorrow."
"Aunt Gu, thank you so much. My mother is fine."
"Okay, then please give my regards."
"good."
"Come on in, you're getting more and more beautiful as you grow up."
Hearing Gu Qianlin's praise, Yun Suiwan smiled shyly.
At this moment, Sun Yanwan's eyes widened. She pretended to have an innocent look on her face and walked over.
"Hello, Aunt Gu." Sun Yanwan's voice was barely audible, and she deliberately adopted a gentle and dignified demeanor.
Gu Qianlin's smile faded, and she sharply scrutinized Sun Yanwan from head to toe.
Then I heard her say, "That's all the stuff I'm used to."
Then, accompanied by the others, Gu Qianlin entered the venue.
Sun Yanwan was completely bewildered. She was excited to see Gu Qianlin, but the other party's evaluation of her was—this is the kind of person she is.
Sun Yanwan stared blankly at Mrs. Gu's departing figure.
What's going on?
Do you dislike yourself?
Did she just leave?
No, attending such a banquet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and she's dressed so elegantly that she stands out. She has to go in.
Poor Sun Yanwan, if she had left now, perhaps she wouldn't have been in such a predicament.
Everyone says that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships are difficult, but she's confident she can handle Mrs. Gu!
Sun Yanwan silently cheered herself up as she entered the venue.
Inside the banquet, the wealthy ladies gathered in small groups, chatting and holding wine glasses.
Even Yun Suiwan had quite a few people surrounding her.
Sun Yanwan, on the other hand, was all alone.
At banquets, Sun Yanwan is usually surrounded by people, but now she is all alone, which makes her very uncomfortable.
She was initially full of confidence, but once she arrived, no one paid any attention to her, and she immediately lost her self-confidence.
She felt displeased when she saw Yun Suiwan standing with those wealthy women, chatting and laughing.
Why should it be allowed to be a year-end celebration?
With that thought in mind, Sun Yan made a firm decision. She picked up a glass of red wine and walked towards Mrs. Gu.
The person she was going to chat with was none other than today's hostess—Mrs. Gu!
She is about to become the granddaughter-in-law of the Gu family, one of the five great families. If these people don't fawn over her now, they will regret it later.
Sun Yanwan, holding a wine glass, strode confidently to Mrs. Gu's side.
At that moment, Gu Qianlin was chatting with someone else.
Sun Yanwan forcefully interjected, "Aunt Gu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianlin turned around and looked at Sun Yanwan expressionlessly.
"Smack!"
Without saying a word, Gu Qianlin's confidante Sang Ran slapped Sun Yanwan across the face.
The entire venue fell silent instantly.
