"What? You said these...are just ordinary guests?"
Su Manyu and Ye Qingqing were both shocked, looking at the wealthy and unattainable people who came and went in disbelief.
Seeing their surprised expressions, the noble lady didn't mock them. She just pursed her lips and smiled slightly, saying meaningfully, "After all, it's the Xiao family."
These few short words contained such a huge amount of information that both Su Manyu and her daughter fell into silence.
Xiao family.
Ye Qingqing felt an inexplicable surge of longing in her heart. Looking at the magnificent five-star hotel in front of her, which was exclusively used by the Xiao family, she thought about how she would feel if she could marry into the Xiao family...
"Let's go. Although we can only be outside later, the items for auction are still rare treasures, so you can rest assured." The lady tucked her shawl and walked into the door first.
Su Manyu and her daughter were taken to the elevator and went up to the conference room on the third floor.
Because it is a hotel exclusively for the Xiao Group, the interior of the venue is more spacious than usual and the decoration is extravagant. The oil paintings framed on the walls are all authentic works by famous artists, and they are just left here to gather dust on a daily basis, which shows the strength of the Xiao Group's financial resources.
"We'll have a chance to meet other distinguished people later, so you'd better follow me and don't run around, lest you bump into anyone."
As they approached the venue, the lady turned around and gave instructions to Su Manyu and her daughter.
"Don't worry, Madam Li, we will be careful with our words and actions." Su Manyu made repeated assurances, but squeezed her daughter's hand behind her back.
Ye Qingqing understood and smiled gently.
Her chance has come.
The three of them entered the venue and chatted with a circle of familiar ladies.
Not long after, someone exclaimed, covering his lips with a glass of wine.
"Oh my god, why is this person here?"
Su Manyu and her daughter looked in the direction of the sound and were stunned when they saw a figure appear in front of the brown door. Then a burst of ecstasy surged in their hearts.
"It turns out that Mr. Tang's participation in the variety show was just a coincidence. His real purpose was to come to the auction." Ye Qingqing felt that she had grasped the truth, and she also felt that she had met the other party several times. At this moment, she was inexplicably full of confidence.
Su Manyu had thought of this as well, and deliberately coughed twice before saying, "Qingqing, didn't you just part ways with Mr. Tang tonight? Why didn't you go over and say hello? Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell everyone that I, Qingqing, ran into Mr. Tang on a variety show a few days ago."
Many of the ladies don’t go online to read gossip, and have only vaguely heard about the Ye family sending their daughter to the show.
At first they felt that they were not presentable, but now they only felt envy, and their smiles towards Ye Qingqing were much more genuine.
"Qingqing is so outstanding, she must have been appreciated by President Tang. She will surely enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. Madam Su is so lucky."
The praise from everyone made the mother and daughter feel a little elated.
Ye Qingqing also tidied the hair by her ears, and walked slowly towards Tang Sinian who was surrounded in front of the door, holding up the hem of her haute couture dress.
The Tang family of the imperial capital is renowned, and Tang Sinian, a rising star and the most likely heir to the Tang family, is a perennial figure in financial magazines.
Therefore, she attracted the attention of many celebrities as soon as she entered the venue.
Among them are several young ladies from prominent families in Jiangcheng.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Qingqing wouldn't have been qualified to compete with these people, but today she stood there with grace and dignity, calling out, "Boss Tang, we meet again."
The sweet voice made everyone turn their heads.
When Tang Sinian saw her, he paused subtly for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking. He then raised his glass slightly and politely responded, "What a coincidence, Miss Ye."
With this opening line, Ye Qingqing's lips curled up into a smile. She naturally squeezed through the group of celebrities and walked over to the other person. She said shyly, "I didn't expect you to come. If I had known you were going the same way, we would have walked together in the mountains. There are many interesting places in Jiangcheng. I can be your guide."
Upon hearing this, a bunch of socialites around frowned, feeling very disdainful.
As expected, he comes from a small family, and his eagerness to get ahead is really cheap.
Tang Sinian caught a glimpse of Ye Qingqing's formal attire from the corner of his eye. His expression darkened, and he said in a somewhat cold tone, "Don't bother me. I'm just here to help someone."
Accompanying someone to do something?
Who has the ability to have the Tang family's grandson accompany him?
Not only was Ye Qingqing curious, but even the socialites around her wanted to know who this person was.
Two minutes later, Tang Sinian glanced at the watch on his wrist, frowned, said "excuse me" to everyone, and strode out of the venue.
"And Mr. Tang has to go pick it up personally? What a grand ceremony!"
The socialites were shocked.
Ye Qingqing wanted to chase after him, but she was afraid that she would not be able to come back in after leaving, so she had to wait at the door with her neck stretched out.
As she waited, she saw a familiar figure.
The girl was still wearing her tasteless sportswear and a pair of white sneakers that had been brushed to the point of bleaching the sides. They were cheap goods she brought from the countryside.
However, this outfit, set against her cool and elegant face, does not look tacky at all, but instead adds a unique sense of elegance and casualness.
Ye Qingqing bit her lip, lifted her skirt, walked over and blocked her at the door, her voice not lowering at all, "Sister, why are you here? And dressed like this! Mom didn't mean to stop you from coming, I'm just worried that you haven't learned the etiquette yet and will make mistakes in such an important occasion. Look at what's happened now..."
Her tone was very embarrassed.
The other socialites were also shocked by the girl's beauty. They looked her up and down at her outfit, with a hint of understanding and mockery in their eyes.
A fake daughter is indeed better than a real daughter who doesn't even know basic etiquette.
Su Manyu, who was originally socializing with the ladies over there, heard the voice and turned around to see Ye Lan. Her face suddenly changed.
She didn't care about anything else. She walked quickly to the girl in her high heels and scolded her in a low voice: "Who told you to follow me? Go back!"
The tone is stern.
Ye Lan ignored them and walked sideways inside.
"You!" Su Manyu felt her blood boiling and turned around to grab the other person's arm. "You are embarrassing me by wearing this. Don't go in!"
She seemed to be able to imagine the mocking and contemptuous looks of those noble ladies when they saw the girl's cheap outfit.
That would be worse than letting her die.
However, before she could touch the other person, Ye Lan grabbed her wrist.
The girl had slender fingers and porcelain-white wrist bones, looking fragile and boneless, but Su Manyu couldn't break free.
"Ye Lan! What are you going to do? Do you know what kind of occasion this is? You can't be so presumptuous!" Su Man said in a hurry, still trying to lower her voice and restrain her anger.
However, Ye Lan really couldn't understand her behavior.
"Mrs. Su." She spoke in a cold, distant, and indifferent voice. "We previously agreed that as long as I participated in the show, I would move out of the Ye family. Now that I have completed my task, I ask that you keep your promise and go your separate ways from now on."
