Chapter 95: Now’s our cue!
The main cocktail party begun at seven, and, up in her room, Xiao Yin was being dressed up by Auntie Cai.
"I think that this pink dress really suits you, Young Miss Jiang!" The middle aged woman said as she raised a pink qipao and waved it at her. "Pink clothes, were they not your favorite colors?"
"Bah, mortal! The only color worth being called a color is silver! Silver is pretty and shiny and silver!" Xiao Yin said as she shook her head. She, a Tenth Circle Greater Immortal Master realm cultivator, was arguing with a mortal woman over what she was going to wear. And she was losing, even!
"Is that why you dyed your hair silver, Young Miss Jiang? I almost could not recognize you this morning!" Auntie Cai said with a smile. "But Madam Jiang spent a lot of money to get a big brand to create this tailor made dress for you. Surely you have to wear it this once!"
"I won’t wear that!" Xiao Yin said in disagreement. However, Auntie Cai simply lifted her hands over her head and took off her current clothes. The pink dress with pink gloves and pink knee high socks made her liver hurt whenever she saw herself in it, but the new one was much worse!
Seeing it directly made her want to throw up!
Why she hated the color pink so, was a story for another day. The main issue at this moment, was that she had forcefully been dressed in it!
Auntie Cai had grabbed both Xiao Yin’s hands with a single fist and held them up in the air above her head. Then, while Xiao Yin’s hands were suspended in the air, Auntie Cai slipped the dress off her body, leaving the young woman in her underwear.
"You do not fear death, mortal?!" Xiao Yin widened her eyes and her brows furrowed into a horrified gaze. "I can choose to END you and then leave your bones to rot in darkness on the surface of a ruined Earth when I snuff out the sun afterwards!"
"....." Auntie Cai.
Is it really wise to allow the Young Miss Jiang watch so much Xianxia drama??
"Ahaha, where did Young Miss Jiang learn those lines from?" Auntie Cai smiled and shook her head. "I must praise your skills, Little Miss Jiang, they’re truly superb!"
"..." Xiao Yin was speechless.
She did not know whether to laugh or cry!

At the same time, Xiao Shen adjusted the bowtie on his neck and practiced his most amicable smile.
Liang Yang was someone known to have a very amicable smile, a smile that was, as a matter of fact, so amicable that it could take away girl’s innate resistance against men and, afterwards, their virginity.
"You do it from the corner. Like this," Liang Yang said as he pulled his signature amicable smile. However, with his facial features and long hair, the smile was less amiable and more of a ’come, let’s have a glass together’.
"The uncle said to offer the guests food and drink, but I don’t think there’s a creampie on the menu." Xue ’Kevin’ Waoming said.
"That smile won’t work!" Dong Wang said as he rolled his eyes.
"Meh. It works for me!" Liang Yang shrugged his shoulders.
Duang!
Player Liang Yang has just revealed his special skill: Ultimate Seduction Smile!
Tian Hua nodded her head. "Indeed, Student Liang is quite handsome. Almost as handsome as my Shen-Shen, even."
"....." Xiao Shen.
"..." Liang Yang.
The both of them looked at each other and were struck dumb.
Tian Hua continued. "But, the guests would mostly be business associates and their wives, so it’s useless."
"Tsk, I’ll continue working on it, then!" Liang Yang rolled his eyes.

Time had quickly flown by since the time they had arrived, and it was about time for the cocktail party to begin.
The guests came in with luxury cars parked in the parking space of the villa and wore expensive western suits or high class black dresses that showed off their long legs.
Mr. Jiang stood at the door and received them warmly with a smile on his face. The guests then went inside and began admiring the impressive decor.
Soft music was playing in the background and the lights were dim. The guests then walked over to meet other guests who they knew for a chat.
"Now’s our cue." Liang Yang said as he lifted his tray.
"No, wait." Xiao Shen shook his head. "We have to ’read’ the atmosphere, remember?"
He turned his head and looked at Tian Hua, Xue Waoming and Dong Wang, before looking back at Liang Yang. "Let’s serve the mild fruit juice first, as everyone just got here. Then, after a while, we’ll all go about with the main drinks and snacks so we can understand each clique and their preferences."
"That... actually makes sense." Dong Wang adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Shen-Shen is super smart." Tian Hua said with a cute smile, showing off her cute dimples.
"It’s feasible." Xue ’Kevin’ Waoming said as he stroked his chin.
"Hmm. It just might work." Liang Yang nodded his head. "Let’s do that then!"
He put down the alcoholic drinks on the tray and replaced them with sweet fruit juices and exotic drinks. Then he smiled amicably. "Ahaha, let’s get to work, guys! Oh, you guys should remember to keep an eye out for the crippled Young Miss! Mr. Jiang told me that he’d pay extra to anyone, preferably a girl," He glanced at Tian Hua. "Who can keep her interested in a conversation for up to an hour or more. And no one should try to confess to her! She’s not within our league!"
"Ah? I’m supposed to try and strike up an hour long conversation..." Tian Hua had a conflicted look on her face. She was an introverted person who liked watching anime, reading doujinshi; the wholesome vanilla ones, not NTR, and she liked reading novels on qidian. She liked to draw, sometimes, and liked hanging out with Xiao Shen.
But, which one of these hobbies could she use to strike a conversation with a rich second generation fuerdai young miss?
Their lives were worlds apart!
The young miss probably did... well, rich second generation young masters stuff, for fun. You know, things like ruining the families of those who offended them, face slapping commoners, shopping for luxury brands that they would dump two days later, stuff like that.
Tian Hua determined it in the depths of her heart: She would avoid that young miss at all costs!
