The socialites in the capital's upper class circles were indeed crying their eyes out today.
In the past, the Xiao family was in turmoil, and Xiao Yunting was still young, so the aristocratic families chose to wait and see, and no one was willing to marry their daughter to him.
After waiting for a long time until Xiao Yunting stabilized the Xiao Group in recent years, everyone started to be interested, but in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yunting moved his industry to Central Europe and has been missing for several years.
The noble socialites who hoped to marry the most powerful man in the imperial capital, the Xiao family, had been waiting for several years, their necks growing long.
This time, Xiao Yunting finally attended the dinner party in person, but it turned out to be for his adopted daughter's birthday?!
That afternoon, no socialite was in the mood for afternoon tea. After sulking at home all day, they changed into haute couture dresses, put on exquisite and perfect makeup, and followed their parents to the Xiao headquarters building near dusk.
The Xiao headquarters building is located in the center of the imperial capital and is known as the lifeline of the imperial capital. It was formerly a landmark building that overlooks the entire city landscape.
Later, Xiao Yunting took it from the official through a gambling agreement for development, which caused a sensation.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the headquarters building was already bustling with traffic, and luxury cars drove up to the gate one after another.
Handsome men and beautiful women, dressed in luxurious evening gowns and adorned with jewels, walked into the venue hand in hand.
When Ye Lan and his group arrived, there were already over a hundred people signed on the guest list at the door.
"Tsk tsk, they must have invited all the wealthy families in the capital." Chen Zhexi only found out in the afternoon that Ye Lan was the adopted daughter of Xiao Yunting, the head of the most wealthy family in the capital. After his jaw was dislocated with shock, he actively expressed his desire to come and share in the glory and see how the top wealthy families behave.
Ah Yue, her female companion, had no interest in rich people. She craned her neck to look at the towering building and exclaimed, "It's so tall."
"Haha, of course it's tall. This is the tallest building in China, with 123 floors in total. It's taller than the one in America." Chen Zhexi explained it to her proudly.
"Hey, wouldn't that be like living in heaven?" Ah Yue blinked, turned around and said innocently to the girl in front of her: "Ye Lan, can you buy this place? Then I can become a god directly."
It also saves you from practicing so hard every day.
Her voice is soft and charming, yet a little crisp.
Everyone who was signing in at the front desk heard it.
Phew.
Someone immediately laughed out loud and looked at A Yue, thinking that she was probably a fool.
At this moment, Ye Lan, who had signed his name, turned around and looked at her, but replied in a faint tone.
"There's no use for me buying this place."
The implication is that she can afford it, but doesn't need to.
Now everyone was stunned, and more of them turned their attention to the front desk.
In front of the registration counter stood a young girl wearing a brocade round-necked cheongsam, her long hair cascading down her shoulders, a jade crabapple blossom tucked between her temples, her skin as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes ink-black, her lips pink and white. Standing among the crowd, she looked like an ice lotus on the top of a snowy mountain, so aloof and cold that no one dared to approach her.
She was wearing a cheongsam embellished with pearls. The light from the crystal chandelier in the lobby reflected her white jade-like appearance, making her look unlike an ordinary person.
"Whose child is this? He's so cute!"
Someone exclaimed unconsciously.
There was a look of surprise in everyone's eyes.
But there were still discordant voices nearby.
"At such a young age, instead of studying hard at home, he comes here and talks nonsense. I guess his parents didn't educate him well."
The speaker was a young and beautiful lady, her tone was gentle, revealing the nobility unique to aristocratic families.
Ye Lan's eyes slanted lightly and fell on the other person.
Ah Yue had a more impulsive temper. When she heard this, she became unhappy and wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by a noble lady.
"Everyone, please don't waste time here. Don't forget where you are. It won't be a good look if you get asked to leave." The noble lady said, nodding slightly and smiling at the socialite. "Don't you agree, Miss Gu?"
Gu Shiqin frowned. She was originally feeling uncomfortable, but the woman's words did make her wary. After thinking for a moment, she said to the group of young ladies behind her with a cold face, "Let's go up first."
Soon, a group of people surrounded Gu Shiqin in a group of flowers and got on the elevator like stars surrounding the moon.
The noble lady turned around and saw Ah Yue still fuming. She couldn't help but laugh, "Don't be angry, kid. That person is the apple of the eye of the Gu family in the imperial capital. The Gu family has also been distorting and recently listed several companies. Their power is rising and they are about to surpass the Tang family. Naturally, they are a little arrogant."
Socializing in upper-class circles is all about power, and they are used to it.
After saying that, the lady turned around and introduced herself to Ye Lan. "I'm a close friend of Madam Zhang. I saw you saving Xiaoxiao while watching the live broadcast, and then I heard from her this afternoon that you helped their family a lot. It's just a coincidence that we met now."
She explained her identity and why she was kind enough to help them out.
"Well, thank you." Ye Lan accepted the kindness and didn't explain anything else.
The group went up to the 123rd floor, the top floor of the Xiao headquarters building.
In the elevator, watching the ever-increasing figures, Mrs. Liao sighed, "Ever since we bought this towering landmark four years ago through a bet, the top floor has been the exclusive domain of the Xiao family's leaders. Some say Mr. Xiao wants to monopolize the entire imperial capital's scenery and won't allow others to share his ambitions. I never thought he'd make an exception today for a little girl and open the floor to everyone."
In the entire upper class society, no one is not curious about Xiao's adopted daughter.
As the person involved, Ye Lan remained silent on this statement.
