"If you ask me, what’s the point of getting to know some top producer? If you manage to make acquaintances with Young Master Lu, then you’ll ascend to the peak of your life," Jiali said with a smile.
As they were speaking, a commotion arose ahead.
"Look, look, Young Master Lu is coming out. Wow, Young Master Lu is so handsome."
An Sijia followed the crowd towards the stage. From a distance, she saw a young man in a white casual suit, without a tie or bowtie. His white dress shirt collar was slightly open, giving off a lazy and casual vibe.
His short black hair was sleek, his brows were sharp, and beneath them, his eyes shone like a bright moon, filled with captivating light.
The man stood on the stage, and the tall European-style building behind him made him look like a prince from the fourteenth century—noble and elegant.
An Sijia was instantly mesmerized. Although Ye Sheng was handsome, he lacked the innate noble aura when compared to Lu Yi.
Suddenly, she remembered that her invitation was given to An Ran by Lu Yi, and a flame of jealousy burned within her.
She had thought Lu Yi was just an ordinary rich kid. It was normal for An Ran, who had some charm, to attract the opposite sex. She hadn’t expected Lu Yi to be so outstanding, even far superior to Ye Sheng.
An Ran was truly lucky to be classmates with someone like Lu Yi. If she herself were his classmate, with her qualities, how would she ever let An Ran catch Lu Yi’s eye?
At this moment, Lu Yi was giving a speech to the guests. His voice was warm like a clear spring, slowly flowing, deeply touching everyone’s hearts with its purity.
An Sijia was entranced by his speech when suddenly, someone grabbed her arm. She was about to scream but saw that it was Ye Sheng, pulling her away to a more secluded spot.
Once they reached a relatively hidden area, Ye Sheng finally stopped, a trace of impatience on his face. "What are you doing here?"
If this had been earlier, An Sijia might still have tried to please and flatter Ye Sheng. But now, after seeing the gentle, brilliant Lu Yi on stage and recalling how Ye Sheng had treated her, An Sijia felt her previous views were truly too shallow.
"Why can’t I be here? Do you think without Young Master Ye, I couldn’t make it?" An Sijia said with a hint of arrogance.
Ye Sheng’s frown deepened at her words. In his memory, An Sijia was always the weak and pliable type, never resisting. Why was she speaking to him today?
"Sijia, I don’t care how you got in here, but in a place , I advise you to lay low. The people here aren’t ones you can afford to mess with. Don’t do anything too reckless. Honestly, this is where you’re inferior to An Ran. She’s always been clear about her place and never does anything beyond her status."
"Ha," An Sijia sneered, "An Ran never does anything beyond her status? I ask you, what is her status? She’s an adopted daughter of the An Family. Of course, she keeps her head down. Otherwise, I could kick her out of the An Family anytime. Besides, if your precious An Ran is so good, why did you sleep with me? Don’t think I don’t know your thoughts. Since you don’t take me back to the Ye Family, you have no right to interfere with my freedom."
After saying this, An Sijia turned and headed back towards the venue. After taking a few steps, she turned back again. "I forgot to tell you, my dear Brother Sheng. My invitation was given to me by An Ran, and it’s the most prestigious invitation to the Lu Family’s banquet. Young Master Lu personally gave it to her, inviting only her specially. Your precious An Ran has already found herself a big backer. Don’t expect her to come back to you."
