On December 24th, the Wen family banquet was scheduled for seven o'clock.
Siqing Garden is not located in the city, so Wang Hui rented a mountain to use it. The area is spacious and has ample space for parking.
The roommates invited by Shi Miao had their eyes broadened today. They were almost vomiting at the limited edition luxury cars of various major brands.
As for Shi Miao, she had already arrived at Siqing Garden last night, and the stylist her aunt had hired arrived early in the morning to style her hair. Of course, after spending so much time on her hair, the results were stunning. From her hair to her nails, every detail of Shi Miao's look was exquisitely done. The jewel she wore today was an imperial green headpiece given by her aunt. The emerald gems set off her skin like snow, making her seem luminous. Her dress was a beautiful, intricate work of art, adorned with tiny diamonds that looked like tiny starlight.
Luo Wenjing and others knew that Shi Miao was very beautiful, but they did not expect that Shi Miao would be so breathtakingly beautiful when dressed up.
As she slowly descended the steps, it was like a beautiful dream coming true. The once bustling hall seemed to have been silenced, and they all involuntarily lightened their breathing, fearing that even a slightly heavier exhale would dissolve their beautiful dream.
A thought suddenly emerged in many people's minds - could it be that the Wen family was rushing to become Shi Miao's relative just because of this face that was so beautiful that it didn't seem like a real person?
The more they thought about it, the more they believed it was true. Even top-tier beauty was a scarce resource. Shi Miao's face could easily captivate even the most vulnerable of wealthy young men. With a little nurturing, she'd be a perfect marriage candidate. Not to mention, she was said to be a formidable fortune teller.
They had been laughing at the joke before, thinking the Wen family was foolish, but it turns out they were the clowns! The Wen family was in the air this time!
If they had known that Shi Miao was so beautiful, they would have been able to do it too. Isn't it just a matter of giving a dowry?
Zhou Man's fiancé, Pei Ze, had come today out of respect for the Zhou family. However, when Miao appeared before him, he was dazed for a few seconds. This level of beauty was truly captivating.
Zhou Man was already feeling jealous because of Shi Miao's stunning beauty, which made them look like a backdrop. Turning around, she saw her beloved fiancé also staring at Shi Miao in a daze. Her eyes widened in surprise, and alarm bells rang in her heart. Her words were also filled with sourness. She had never seen Pei Ze lose his composure because of beauty. "Miao Miao is beautiful, isn't she? Seeing her dressed like this today, I feel ashamed."
Pei Ze came back to his senses, feeling a little angry—this anger was directed at himself. He had actually stared at Shi Miao in a daze, and then listened to Zhou Man's jealous words, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, "She is far inferior to someone."
No matter how beautiful Shi Miao was, she was just an empty vase, no match for his Manman. His Manman had a soul of gold. Even the most beautiful appearance would eventually age, but only a beautiful soul was eternal.
Thinking of this, he felt that Shi Miao's beauty seemed to have lost some of its appeal.
Although Zhou Man knew that he was just trying to coax her, she still felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.
The two wives of the Wen family, Du Shuangyu and Wang Hui, stood beside Shi Miao, showing full protection.
Zhou Man felt even more jealous. Her two aunts had never taken such good care of her before. However, she didn't think about the fact that she was the only daughter of the Zhou family and the niece of Wen Chengzhou. She was also a well-loved figure in the wealthy circle. No one would be so blind as to bully her. She didn't need anyone's protection.
A noblewoman who was familiar with Wang Hui teased, "Where did you find such a lovely little girl?"
Wang Hui smiled and said, "My daughter is lucky. After seeing Miaomiao, she insisted on bringing her home to be her sister. I am also blessed by my daughter."
She said this to tell everyone that Yanzi and Miaomiao have a good relationship.
Li Yanran also came today, with a look of regret on her face, "Sister Yanshan is still decisive. My mother complained about it after I went back, saying that I was a little slow, otherwise I would have had another sister."
Li Yanran was truly grateful to Shi Miao. She was thankful she had read her fortune, otherwise her family would have been ripped off. She had never imagined that the vice president, whom she had known for years, would poison her father's drink with a mixture of pufferfish and mercury because her father refused to hire his uneducated son. Because of Shi Miao's divination, she was worried about her father, so she installed surveillance cameras at home and in the office, eventually catching him red-handed. When the poison was detected in the water, the whole family broke into a cold sweat.
Her uncle, who was working with the vice president, also had a family called her uncle. Her uncle seemed to think that if her father died, her cousin would be able to inherit the company, bypassing her. It was a fantasy.
It's no exaggeration to say that Shi Miao is her father's savior! Although Li Yanran has given Shi Miao many gifts, they still feel it's not enough!
Wang Hui could see that Li Yanran was flattering her sincerely, and a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
Mrs. Li even brought over a carefully prepared gift. Everyone was surprised to discover that it was a painting by Qi Baishi. Someone recognized it as one she had purchased five years ago, having paid over 16 million yuan for it—and the price had even increased. Although the invited guests had all prepared gifts, most were worth a few hundred thousand yuan, with close relatives giving gifts worth millions. The Li family, however, unexpectedly presented a gift worth tens of millions, completely outshining them all.
Is the Li family crazy? Are they trying to curry favor with the Wen family this way? That shouldn't be the case. If they're going to curry favor, they might as well just go after Wen Yanshan, the real eldest daughter.
Everyone was puzzled, but still followed their words and praised Shi Miao.
