"It's beautiful, thank you." She put the necklace around her neck, the pendant resting just at her collarbone, delicate yet understated.
Rong Shenghan looked at her, his smile deepening: "I'll pick you up on the day of the banquet."
By the time they returned to the old house, it was already dark. As soon as Yu Jiuyuan entered the living room, the butler handed her a document: "Miss, this is a message from Young Master Lin, saying it's the guest list for the Su family's banquet."
The list was printed out, with several names circled in red pen and some hastily written annotations next to them.
It was clearly Lin Yanran's doing, carrying his usual arrogance, yet also showing a degree of meticulousness. The people circled were all members of the Su family's core circle.
Yu Jiuyuan picked up the list and traced one of the names with her fingertips: Su Mingche, the eldest grandson of the Su family, and a key figure who has been frequently in contact with overseas capital recently.
Lin Yanran drew a question mark next to his name, as if to remind her to pay attention.
The system panel popped up at the right time: Lin Yanran's positive emotional fluctuations increased by 5, her favorability jumped to 48, and her neutral emotions decreased by 3.
It seems that this arrogant young master of the Lin family has finally learned to express his care in his own way.
She placed the list on the table and walked to the window.
The snow outside the window had stopped, and the moonlight shone on the snow in the courtyard, giving it a cool, clear glow.
The city lights in the distance are dazzling, like a shimmering sea of stars, but how many unknown undercurrents are hidden beneath this prosperity?
The Su family's dinner party was destined to be a battle without gunpowder.
Xie Zhecheng's indifferent observation, Rong Shenghan's secret assistance, Yuan Xu's unintentional actions, Lin Yanran's awkward attempts to make friends... everyone has their own role, and she is the one in control of this drama.
Yu Jiuyuan raised her hand and touched the microscope pendant around her neck. The light of the broken diamonds reflected in her eyes, much like the last glimmer of light when prey falls into a trap.
A faint smile played at the corners of his lips; beneath his innocent and harmless exterior lay a cold and precise calculation.
Games with strategy elements are more fun when they have a bit of difficulty.
She picked up her phone and sent Lin Yanran a message: "[Received the list, thank you. Remember to dress presentably for the banquet.]"
I received a reply very quickly, containing only one word: 【Get lost.】
Yu Jiuyuan looked at the words and chuckled softly.
It seems this young wolf still needs some time to temper his temperament.
As night deepened, the old house was quiet, with only the occasional crackling of the fire in the fireplace reflecting on her serene profile, like a meticulously painted oil painting.
There are three days left until the Su family's charity gala.
