When Qian Xun said that it was a mere little banquet, a really simple one buffet style… Shi Guang believed her.

When Qian Xun said that a casual dress will do because it was only unimportant people attending… Shi Guang believed her.

But, when they arrived at the banquet hall, Shi Guang realized that this was no simple banquet, and neither were the people unimportant.

Socialites of the capital, elites of the society that were named in magazines, these were the people that were present.

Famous rich, debutantes and high profile missies, these were the girls fighting for the glamour of the night.

There were even celebrities from movies, television, and the singing scene that were present. Hell, almost half of showbiz was here for this extravagant event which was no ‘small banquet’ at all!

When Shi Guang entered with Qian Xun, there were immediately people coming forth to greet the latter.

After the casual exchange of greetings, Qian Xun brought Shi Guang elsewhere and got her a glass of fruit juice. Ever since that torturous night of someone getting drunk, Qian Xun promised that she would not seek trouble for herself by giving this lass any alcohol anymore.

Qian Xun picked up a glass of wine for herself. “Don’t be so nervous! All of these people are not really important. If you don’t wish to talk, you can just ignore them all.”

You’re the young mistress of the Lu Family. Gosh, if people were to know of your status, they would definitely come and bootlick you. Show some of your pride, Shi Guang!

Shi Guang blinked her eyes and did not know to laugh or to cry. “And this is asmall banquet ?”

Qian Xun sat down on a high stool beside her and straightened her back. “Of course, it’s just a birthday banquet!”

She was truly skeptical about whether this lass was the daughter-in-law of the Lus. A truly huge banquet would not consist only of the faces that were seen in television and magazines. In reality, most of them would be people whose faces would not have made it to the television, whom people hardly knew about—THAT was the type of important banquet out there. Any single person from those banquets could practically move an industry or something.

Those should be the type of people that would appear at a banquet of the Lus.

Shi Guang was speechless. “To think that even a birthday banquet would be so extravagant!”

“Just a casual gathering.” Qian Xun took a sip of her wine. “But of course, it’s also to socialize. Some of those celebrities were paid an entry fee to come while others came of their own accord. After all, most of the people appearing at places like these are investors, and it would definitely benefit them.”

“I see!” Shi Guang scanned the entire place and looked at the groups gathered—indeed, that did seem like the case.

She looked at Qian Xun. “Do you want to go make some acquaintances then? I don’t think you’ve taken a leading role for some time now, but I think your acting is actually really good…”

Qian Xun cut her in her speech. “Hold it there! It’s not that I haven’t been in a leading role… I don’t wish to be in a leading role for the time being.”

Shi Guang smiled. “…”

She did not think that that was the truth, but instead that Qian Xun was someone with a strong ego and pride.

Qian Xun raised her glass of wine and downed it in a whim of the moment. When her neck curved, it formed a beautiful outline of her slender nape. When she rested her finger and scraped it slowly by her red lips, it was so seductive that the souls of men were nearly hooked away by her.

A couple of men beside them even had their predatory instincts triggered instantly. However, they were chased away by Qian Xun’s cold glance.

There were two girls standing near them who were gossiping.

“Ah Xi, Young Master Liu said that he would call you after the banquet. You’re really way too lucky! I’m sure you’ll be super popular in the future!”

“Hmph, what is Young Master Liu only?” The Ah Xi girl was indifferent. “I heard that Chu Mubei and Lu Yanchen are coming. It’d be good if THEY fancied me!”

The other girl was elated. “Chu Mubei? Lu Yanchen? THAT Chu Family… THAT Lu Family!”
