Old Mrs. Shi’s birthday banquet had gathered business magnates from all corners.
The attendees were all influential figures, and the birthday gifts were dazzling and splendid.
Old Mrs. Shi, although already seventy years old, had such energetic spirit and a youthful appearance that people would believe she was only fifty.
Currently, Old Mrs. Shi was surrounded by people.
Most of these individuals were various family members, the ladies and their daughters, each more flattering than the last.
They complimented her from her hair to her high heels extensively.
Yet, with status and position firmly established, Old Mrs. Shi had long grown accustomed to hearing sweet words.
In the face of this flattery, Old Mrs. Shi always maintained a smile befitting a lofty goddess.
Shi Yuanyuan spotted everyone crowding around the old lady from afar, walked over with a cup in her hand, stood up straight, and put on a polite and noble smile, saying, "May Old Lady Shi have fortune as vast as the eastern seas and a lifespan as long as the southern mountains."
Shi Yuanyuan’s timing was impeccable, causing everyone to quiet down, so her voice particularly stood out.
Shi Yuanyuan approached and after giving Old Lady Shi a look, she expressed her surprise, "Goodness, is this really the star of the seventieth birthday? She looks far too young!"
Old Lady Shi looked at her and before she could speak, someone nearby already asked, "Which family’s daughter are you?"
Shi Yuanyuan’s heart leapt with joy, and she immediately responded, "I am Shi Yuanyuan, Shi Mei’s older cousin."
"Shi Mei? Sounds a bit familiar, who is that?"
"I also feel like I’ve heard the name before, just can’t quite place it."
Old Lady Shi’s expression turned sour, looking at Shi Yuanyuan, "Shi Mei didn’t come?"
Shi Yuanyuan replied, "Yes, we were supposed to come together, but she was alienated by some malicious people and now refuses to join me..."
Old Lady Shi snorted coldly, "It’s good she didn’t come, or else the scene would have turned chaotic."
Suddenly, as if she had seen something exhilarating, her eyes brightened and she waved towards someone ahead, "Yuejie."
All the ladies and daughters followed Old Lady Shi’s gaze and saw a woman exuding an extraordinary demeanor.
Bai Yuejie was wearing an exquisite evening dress today. Her long, white dress made her slender figure look especially lean and straight.
She gave a gentle smile towards them, as if dimming the sun and moon, captivating everyone.
"She’s so beautiful, that must be the Bai Family’s daughter, right?"
"What a pity, I heard her heart isn’t very good."
"Indeed, she resembles Kerou; I feel sympathetic for her, but she really is beautiful!"
Shi Yuanyuan couldn’t maintain her smile any longer, looking at Bai Yuejie’s sanctified, moonlit demeanor, she felt indescribable jealousy.
"Grandma Shi," Bai Yuejie, with a gentle and graceful demeanor, lifted Old Lady Shi’s hand with hers adorned in white gloves, "It’s been so long since I’ve seen you, happy birthday."
Old Lady Shi, her face filled with a smile, held Bai Yuejie’s hand warmly, "Indeed, it has been a long time, look at this complexion; your health must be much better than before, right?"
Shi Yuanyuan nearly crushed the cup in her hand!
Both here to offer birthday wishes, why did this old woman show two different faces?
Shi Yuanyuan felt stifled inside, and suddenly, her eyes darted to an old couple. With a quick thought, she smiled and said, "Isn’t her health improving? Tang Wu was so healthy before her death. Now, using Tang Wu’s heart, of course her health is getting better and better."
Old Sir Tang and Elder Mrs. Tang, upon hearing these words, both felt a pang of pain, their gazes involuntarily settling on Bai Yuejie.
