Chapter 932 - 931: Let’s Get Acquainted
Beisitian’s arrival attracted a lot of attention, not because she had an exceptional charm, but because of the people she was with and... the gown she was wearing."Look, isn’t that the treasure of Yunyi’s shop?"
"It really is! How is it on her?"
"Who is this person?"
"Haven’t seen her before, but look, isn’t that Jiang City’s Third Young Master beside her?"
The girls saw a few people walking in from the door and immediately started whispering, especially about Beisitian and her gown.
As for the men, upon seeing Zhan Hongjun and Le Jiayang, they laughed and said, "The duo from Jiang City have arrived."
Originally, it was just the duo from Jiang City, as for that person named Gu Haiqing, he appeared later, being Zhan Hongjun’s cousin, and no one knew where he came from. After the three of them got together, the girls began to gossip. Gu Haiqing was quite handsome, and so the three of them were collectively known as Jiang City’s Third Young Master.
However, to the men, it was still just the duo. When men look at other men, they don’t just consider looks and wouldn’t acknowledge him just because he’s handsome.
When these people saw Beisitian, their eyes lit up. When did Jiang City have such a beautifully elegant woman?
Beisitian probably didn’t expect that as soon as she walked in, she would become the focus of everyone, feeling the chilly stares from the girls and the intense gazes from the men. It was quite an overwhelming feeling.
The girls’ looks weren’t friendly; a girl in a pink form-fitting gown pouted discontentedly, "I’ve had my eye on that gown for over a month, but Yunyi wouldn’t sell it to me, saying something about ’destined person.’ What makes this woman a ’destined person’?"
"Me too, I fell for this gown half a month ago, but Yunyi wouldn’t sell it either, calling it the shop’s treasure, saying it would only go to someone fitting. How did it end up on this woman?" said a girl in a black short gown, with its lacy arms and neckline lending a touch of allure.
The other girls also started talking animatedly; everyone at this party was from high society, and if you couldn’t put on a good talent show, you’d feel embarrassed attending.
If it were before, Beisitian would have found a corner to comfortably pass the time, but with Zhan Hongjun at her side, so as to approach Beisitian, he stayed close by.
At a talent showcase, performances are inevitable. These young ladies and gentlemen have received higher education and attended various classes since childhood; many have studied abroad, and they enjoy these cultured activities, like ancient scholars composing poetry together.
Luo Yirui noticed some older kids staring at him intently, and turned to look at them, then told Beisitian, "Mom, I’m going to get something to eat."
Beisitian gently patted his head, "Stay inside."
Luo Yirui nodded and headed toward the buffet table.
When it was about time, the party officially began. The initiator this time was Zhan Hongjun. He said a few words to Beisitian and then went on stage to say a few words.
Everyone was basically around the same age, with no more than a five-year difference, so there were not too many formalities.
Gu Haiqing was standing quietly to the side, hands in pockets, with Le Jiayang beside him and Beisitian on his other side. When Zhan Hongjun announced the start of the party, the crowd immediately began to cheer, urging Zhan Hongjun to be the first up.
It was Beisitian’s first time attending this type of party, and she found it quite interesting.
"Aren’t you going to showcase something?" Gu Haiqing took the rare initiative to speak to Beisitian.
Beisitian gave a small smile, "I’ll pass. Watching is enough."
Even though people cheered him on, Zhan Hongjun didn’t go up first to present. He wouldn’t embarrass himself like that; he’s good at singing with a magnetic voice and took singing lessons when he was younger, so this is his talent.
His participation in the party was not due to an outstanding talent, but because he is the son of the city secretary. The world is realistic; despite the rule that these parties require talent, exceptions exist.
Even if Zhan Hongjun didn’t have talent, his status elevates the party’s prestige, so of course, he’s invited.
While talking, a few girls approached.
"Hello, you look unfamiliar, shall we introduce ourselves?" One girl smiled at Beisitian.
Beisitian wouldn’t be cold to others, so they exchanged names, marking a start.
"We’re curious, how did you get this gown from Yunyi’s aloof manager!" Gao Shanshan asked with a smile.
Her eyes held curiosity and admiration, without a trace of jealousy.
Yunyi’s shop treasure wasn’t explicitly advertised, but its grand design and meaningful art attracted many admirers. It wouldn’t have gained so much attention if Yunyi’s manager wasn’t refusing to sell it, turning down everyone, which made people resentful.
Some even secretly vied to get the gown, and others placed bets on who would eventually get it, wagering luxury bags worth twenty thousand!
This created buzz in the circle, drawing even more attention to the gown.
Beisitian hadn’t expected a gown to cause such a stir. Hearing Gao Shanshan recount with a smile, she couldn’t help but laugh.
"Perhaps I’m the ’destined person’." Beisitian naturally didn’t mention the VIP card.
The crowd realized Beisitian wasn’t divulging details. While it seemed uninteresting, they didn’t show their disappointment and changed the subject.
"Oh, do watch out for Yuan Tong. She tried every trick and still didn’t get the gown. Now seeing you in it, she might cause trouble; she’s the envious type," Gao Shanshan said, nodding toward a girl in a pink gown nearby.
Understanding the kind reminder, Beisitian nodded and thanked her.
At that moment, Gao Shanshan glanced at Gu Haiqing and whispered, "You know Jiang City’s Third Young Master, what kind of person is Gu Haiqing?"
Beisitian wanted to laugh, realizing Gao Shanshan was interested in Gu Haiqing. However, it would likely be fruitless; Gu Haiqing seemed to have high standards and would not easily take a liking to Gao Shanshan.
"I haven’t talked much with him. He’s quite cold," Beisitian said with a smile.
Whether or not Gu Haiqing heard, he glanced over intentionally or unintentionally, and Gao Shanshan’s face instantly flushed red.
