"No, An Ran, did that bitch ask you for it?" With An Ran’s personality, she would never proactively engage with that woman unless that woman came looking for trouble again.
Indeed, An Ran opened her eyes and nodded at her.
"Damn, she asked and you just gave it to her? How can you be so easily bullied?" Xiao Xiao was a bit indignant.
An Ran turned over, back facing her: "Actually, I wasn’t planning to go. Those places aren’t suitable for ordinary folks like me. It just so happened that An Sijia came to me, asking for connections to get the invitation, so I simply gave it to her."
Given her understanding of Guo Xinyi, even if she went, Guo Xinyi would find ways to embarrass her. It was better not to see or get annoyed. However, this had disappointed Lu Yi’s kind intentions.
Xiao Xiao also sighed: "Actually, Ranran, I think Lu Yi is really good. He’s different from the likes of Ye Sheng, the rich second generation. He is caring and responsible. Look at how he treats our classmates, he never bullies them because of his family’s status in Nan’an. I think he genuinely likes you. Otherwise, out of our entire class, why were you the only one who got his invitation? Even Guo Xinyi and Sun Beibei didn’t. You should really try getting along with him..."
"Xiao Xiao," before Xiao Xiao could finish, An Ran sat up and glared at her.
Xiao Xiao immediately surrendered: "Okay, okay, cherish life, stay away from the rich second generation."
After she finished, Xiao Xiao changed to a smiling face and moved closer: "By the way, has Instructor Mu contacted you again?"
An Ran rolled her eyes: "Why would Instructor Mu contact me? Who am I to him?"
She had kept the fact that she lived with Mu Xingfeng from Xiao Xiao. She simply couldn’t withstand Xiao Xiao’s gossip. Besides, she nearly became a ’San’ in others’ eyes, and she was already ashamed of herself. She had admitted her mistake and corrected it. It was best to let the matter rest.
"Sigh, what a pity," Xiao Xiao sighed. "I always felt that Instructor Mu had unusual feelings for you, it seemed strange."
An Ran didn’t speak, closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be dead.
In a manor in the western district of Nan’an City, through the huge archway at the entrance of the manor, a vast green lawn could be seen. A large red carpet led directly to the Gothic-style building at the center of the manor. On either side of the carpet, every spot was intricately adorned, showcasing luxury and grandeur, while the manor itself was bustling with activity.
This was a private manor of the Lu Family. Today, the birthday banquet for the eldest son of the Lu Family would be held here.
When An Sijia arrived here, she was completely enchanted by this fairytale-like world. When she saw the high-end tailored clothes on the noblewomen present, her eyes revealed a hint of envy and greed.
The two sisters who came with her were already stunned.
"Sijia, I heard that your family is also quite famous locally, and your boyfriend is a rich young man. Do you often attend such events?" Jiali asked, swallowing her saliva.
An Sijia’s eyes flickered, and she paused: "Not really, after all, our place is small, unlike the big families in this major city."
"Alright, alright, let’s not waste time. Don’t forget the purpose of our visit." Ji Manxue gave the two a look from the side.
Yes, the three of them came prepared. It wasn’t easy to get the invitation to this banquet. If they could establish connections with those top producers at this event, or climb even a little, their future careers would be bright and promising.
