Chapter 448: The Imperial City’s Number One Socialite
Yun Qiluo, however, felt very disappointed.
Yan Yan noticed her sighing halfway through her meal and raised an eyebrow: "What’s wrong?"
The Young Girl was eating with her cheeks puffed out, muttering indistinctly, "Why didn’t Fan Xinglan come today? It would have been nice if he had."
Not that Fan Yubing was bad, but she just didn’t particularly like her.
Moreover, if Fan Xinglan were here, surely someone would play with her.
Yan Yan lazily spoke: "All he thinks about is having fun every day; he wouldn’t come to a boring banquet like this."
He knew Fan Xinglan too well. With such a playful nature, even though that fashion brand was already bought by him, the Fan Family still couldn’t pull him back to inherit the family business.
The Fan Family only had Fan Yubing who was somewhat reliable, but unfortunately, Fan Yubing’s mind wasn’t on this either.
Mentioning Fan Yubing, Yan Yan remembered when she told Yun Qiluo about the tiger, causing his brow to furrow slightly.
He hadn’t found the opportunity to ask what exactly she intended to do.
That incident nearly set off a chain of events that almost caused Yun Qiluo’s demise at the tiger’s jaws.
Could Fan Yubing have accidentally let it slip?
The banquet soon began, with exquisite food and wine placed on the table as guests started to take their seats.
The host, Chen Dongsheng, also came out to preside, saying a few pleasantries.
Then he introduced the son and daughter sitting beside him.
"This is my son, Chen Mu. Twenty-three years old, just graduated from the finance department of Qing University. I hope everyone here can take good care of him."
Yun Qiluo curiously peeked over, only to see a man in a suit with glasses, looking quite scholarly.
Before she could look closely, Yan Yan raised an eyebrow and lazily opened his mouth beside her:
"Is he very good-looking?"
His tone was languid, unexpectedly carrying a hint of danger.
Hearing his question, Yun Qiluo instinctively shook her head honestly and whispered in his ear, "Not handsome, quite average-looking."
Yan Yan, with lowered eyes, nonchalantly helped her cut the steak, the displeasure in his voice disappearing:
"Then focus on your food."
Chen Dongsheng soon introduced his daughter, smiling happily as he did, "This is my daughter Chen Yuchen, twenty-one this year."
Chen Yuchen stood up from her position on his left side, facing everyone.
She was a tall, beautiful woman, the black evening gown accentuating her graceful figure, and her snowy skin appeared even more luminous under the ballroom lights.
She had a very beautiful face, with a harmonious blend of innocence and allure, with an indescribable charm lingering in her eyebrows.
Her demeanor was graceful, and even in a banquet teeming with elites, her presence was enough to outshine many of the prestigious daughters.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she maintained only a faint smile, nodding slightly yet not overly enthusiastic as a gesture of goodwill.
After Chen Dongsheng finished the introduction, she quickly returned to her seat and began eating.
Yun Qiluo had an affinity for beautiful people, and she was immediately captivated by her, sneaking glances at her.
There existed such a girl whose actions while eating were as pleasing to the eye as a beautiful woman.
The steak was so delicious she wanted to devour it in one bite.
Yet this gorgeous sister managed to eat slowly, taking small, unhurried bites.
She couldn’t help but tug on Yan Yan’s sleeve, whispering: "Beautiful woman, do you know that girl?"
Yan Yan glanced over, not showing much change in expression.
Ignoring the looks from others at the table, he moved the sliced steak to her plate, speaking softly: "She’s a very famous socialite."
