Chapter 314 - 314 Banquet
314 Banquet
Liu Yanran’s beauty was one that could not be ignored.
As soon as she appeared, she looked around. Her temperament was like a flower on a high mountain, making it difficult for people to have a blasphemous mentality toward her.
Liu Yanran’s eyes shone with wisdom. Ordinary men would first feel inferior when they saw her. Unless they were a prodigy, they would probably feel inferior when talking to her.
As Liu Yanran was attending the banquet today, she naturally dressed up well.
She was wearing a gown made of silk and a sleeveless off-shoulder shirt, revealing her fair arms and beautiful collarbones.
The lower half of the dress was a red checkered A-line skirt with some bead decorations. The length of the dress was moderate, and it was convenient to move around in it. It gave people the impression that she was capable and not procrastinating.
Many of the other young ladies present chose long dresses and gowns. Some of their dresses even dragged to the ground.
Therefore, Liu Yanran, who was wearing an A-line dress, stood out among the women, giving off a dazzling visual effect.
In particular, Liu Yanran was relatively tall to begin with, and the ratio of her body to her legs was extremely good. This gown perfectly reflected the slenderness of her legs. Coupled with a pair of high heels, any man present who was less than 1.8 meters tall would probably be too embarra.s.sed to stand beside her.
Then, Zhang Fuju and the young masters beside him walked to Liu Yanran’s side.
Zhang Fuju was still very confident in his 1.82-meter height. At this moment, Zhang Fuju walked majestically to Liu Yanran and greeted her, “Hey, Yanran, you’re here too.”
Zhang Fuju thought to himself, among the men present, who was more worthy of Yanran than him?
At the thought of this, he revealed a confident smile and showed his big white teeth that he had cleaned at the dentist a few days ago.
Liu Yanran looked at Zhang Fuju and was stunned. “You are?”
Everyone was silent.
Zhang Fuju held his breath and looked embarra.s.sed. However, he quickly adjusted his expression and said in an intimate tone, “Yanran, I’m Zhang Fuju. I asked you out for a meal previously, but you said that you had something on and didn’t come.”
Liu Yanran was a little disgusted by this person’s friendly tone. This tone reminded her of this person.
There was indeed such a thing, but there were too many people who had invited her. How could she remember them?
Liu Yanran usually did not go to such a banquet. Liu Yanran had been a beauty since she was young and had grown up while being solicited by countless people. How could she not know what such a person was planning?
It was better not to leave a trace of hope for such a person. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome in the future.
Hence, Liu Yanran replied coldly and formally, “Ah, I remember now. I met Young Master Zhang once.” As she spoke, she immediately clarified her relationship with Zhang Fuju.
She had only met Zhang Fuju once, but he had already invited her to dinner. He even called her “Yanran” affectionately. Zhang Fuju’s sense of shame was instantly exposed.
Zhang Fuju’s expression changed. Liu Yanran ignored Zhang Fuju and greeted the others who were pa.s.sing by. “Miss Yang! I didn’t expect you to come too!”
Liu Yanran had a wide network and knew many young masters and young ladies from other provinces.
Miss Yang was the young lady of one of the four great families in the capital. Zhang Fuju could not offend her, so it was naturally not appropriate for him to interrupt. Miss Yang was much more famous than Zhang Fuju. Although Zhang Fuju knew her, she did not know Zhang Fuju. At this moment, it was not convenient for Zhang Fuju to interrupt.
Zhang Fuju couldn’t take it lying down. Sensing the awkward gazes of the surrounding people, Zhang Fuju cursed in his heart. What was with the arrogance? Wasn’t she just a little prettier?
He could have as many women as he wanted. How many people wanted to climb into his bed?
This woman was really shameless.
However, Liu Yanran ignored him today. Tomorrow, he would kick her out of his league!
Zhang Fuju was so angry that his face turned purple.
The young masters and young ladies around him who were flattering him also felt embarra.s.sed and were a little exasperated.
At this moment, a young master beside him said, “Young Master Zhang, it’s our turn to show our invitation cards.”
Zhang Fuju looked up and saw that he was standing still. The queue in front of him was empty, and the staff was staring at him.
Zhang Fuju quickly strode forward and showed the invitation card.
Liu Yanran queued behind Zhang Fuju. Then, the others also walked over.
Liu Yanran reached out and showed a note.
The staff was simply stunned.
What was this?
Was this a note?
The young lady in front of him was dressed so well. It shouldn’t be that she didn’t know the rules, but what was with this note?
The staff member thought about it and endured it. He said, “Miss, see if you took the wrong thing.”
“There’s no mistake. My Young Master said that I can enter with this.”
Seeing that Liu Yanran’s tone was so firm and her eyes were filled with clarity, the staff member started to feel troubled again. He said, “Why don’t we do this first? Wait by the side for a while. I’ll ask our supervisor later.”
With that, a staff member jogged to look for the supervisor.
Zhang Fuju and the others had already entered the venue when they suddenly heard a commotion behind them. Hence, they turned around and saw this scene.
Miss Yang from the capital, who was also in the queue, originally wanted to wait for Liu Yanran to enter the venue. After all, Liu Yanran and Miss Yang were not friends, so Liu Yanran was embarra.s.sed to delay her. Hence, she said, “Miss Yang, go in first. I’ll probably take a while. I’ll look for you when I enter.”
With that, Miss Yang nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll go in first.”
Seeing that Miss Yang had already entered, Zhang Fuju turned around and walked over. He said to crack wisely to Liu Yanran, “Speaking of Director Liu, did you… Did you actually want to enter such a high-standard banquet with a note? Isn’t this a joke?”
“Don’t tell me you came in to cheat people of their food and drinks? Hey, Director Liu, you don’t have to go that far, right?” A young lady covered her mouth and laughed. She had a good impression of Zhang Fuju, so she was naturally the most hostile to Liu Yanran among this group of people.
Miss Jiang looked at Liu Yanran provocatively. Her voice was even raised an octave, causing the surrounding people to hear her and look over.
Liu Yanran frowned and did not answer her. She only thought to herself that Zhang Fuju was so troublesome. His companions were the same. Birds of a feather flocked together.
Liu Yanran could not be bothered with them. This made this group of people even more excited.
The young master, who had just shouted for Zhang Fuju to treat them to a meal, also said loudly, “Miss Jiang, you don’t know, but it’s not that some people nowadays can’t afford a luxurious dinner, but they don’t have the right to enter such a high-cla.s.s party. They want to pretend to be socialites, so they want to sneak in and take photos. If they don’t do this, how can they be on equal footing with us and sneak into the upper-cla.s.s society?”
