Before we knew it, it was time for the Zhou family's dinner party.
The Zhou family was a declining noble family. They didn't have much money, but they had many rules and regulations. They had been poor and stingy for over a hundred years. When they came to Mr. Zhou, a client, they achieved success through their hard work. However, he only had one daughter, who went missing in her childhood.

Even after Mr. Zhou's daughter, Zhou Yuning, returned, they still did not give up.

The main and collateral branches of the Zhou family were all gathered together, creating a lively atmosphere. When they saw Zhou Yuning walk in, they all showed disdainful expressions, and laughter flew in from all directions.
"This lowly savage who ran away halfway through his life dares to stand with us? How laughable!"
"If I were her, I would never attend an event like this!"
"Look at her, so tacky and stupid, she's completely ruined this dress!"
"Even if the ugly duckling wears swan feathers, it's still just the lowest of the low in the wild. It doesn't think that wearing a haute couture gown will make it soar to the top and become a phoenix!"
