A group of lively people left the third branch’s wing with a batch of suitcases. Lin Xiaoni peeked at the group of people who had just left Bei Sangyun’s room.
She did not recognize any of them. Unlike when she took a peek at the fourth branch’s building earlier, the room was crowded with famous stylists and renowned skilled makeup artists. But Bei Sangyun’s entourage was entirely unknown.
Lin Xiaoni’s enthusiasm for checking out Bei Sangyun’s appearance for the homecoming dance deteriorated. As expected of someone who grew up in the backwaters, Bei Sangyun did not meticulously prepare for the event! What a waste!
Lin Xiaoni pouted. If she were a senior student, she would prepare the most expensive and beautiful dress. Then she would decorate herself from head to toe. Too bad, it was not her time to debut. But by next year, when she became a senior, she would dress grandiosely!
More grandiosely and more beautiful than Lin Sunji!
Thinking of Lin Sunji’s luxurious red dress and her beautiful appearance she saw earlier, Lin Xiaoni was filled with envy.
It looked like the title of the Queen of the Night would fall on that bitch’s hand. Ah, so envious!
Lin Xiaoni was about to leave the third branch’s wings when her eyes suddenly caught something deep blue.
Then her eyes widened as she saw Bei Sangyun coming out of her room. Only when Bei Sangyun left the hallway did Lin Xiaoni wake up from her stupor. She hurriedly took out her phone and voted for the second couple in the ranking list.

Butler Xing led the way, while Maid Ye Zhai followed Bei Sangyun carefully, assisting her downstairs.
Bei Sangyun observed Butler Xing’s solemn expression as he monitored her steps.
"Don’t worry, I won’t fall," Bei Sangyun said with a chuckle. "I am used to wearing high heels, so I won’t make such a newbie mistake."
Butler Xing glanced at her with doubt. He still remembered the previous birthday banquet of the old man when Bei Sangyun, wearing high heels, tripped and fell, embarrassing herself in front of the guests. Though it was because of the two Young Misses who played a trick on her, the image of Bei Sangyun standing up with difficulty and walking awkwardly was etched in his mind.
"It’s better to be careful. It’s rare for you to dress this beautifully, so we can’t ruin it," Butler Xing replied. He scrutinized Bei Sangyun’s appearance once more and couldn’t help but praise her. "I thought you were short-sighted when you hired those unknown people to do your makeup. Who knew such small-time makeup artists and unknown stylists would transform you like this? I’m glad I didn’t misspeak earlier. You should hire them exclusively."
Maid Ye Zhai nodded from behind them. Even she, who had seen a lot of dolled-up Young Misses, approved of those people’s skills. Tonight, there was no doubt that her Young Miss would be the most beautiful one.
Bei Sangyun smiled mysteriously, "We don’t need to hire them. They will grow more if we don’t tie them to us. We can be their sponsors instead."
Those people would grow famous and become legendary in their industry. As to how Bei Sangyun knew them? Her people scouted them in her subsidiary company before and even personally worked with them sometimes.
Although it took them a long time to achieve such fame, their various experiences honed their talent and skills.
Right now, what those people needed was experience and a backer. And she was willing to provide them with both. Only birds that have the freedom to fly would be able to reach greater heights.
Butler Xing was once again enlightened through Bei Sangyun’s words. If they became sponsors instead of their boss, those people would be connected to them out of gratefulness, not just out of convenience. Relationships work better and last longer when both parties are grateful to one another.
Maid Ye Zhai wasn’t that interested in this topic. She was more curious about the Young Miss’s escort.
"Young Miss, the appointed time is almost here. If your partner is late, should I ask Driver Chen?"
Bei Sangyun immediately rejected, "No. My partner will surely come in time."
As her words left, a young butler came in from outside. When he saw Bei Sangyun, he stopped for a moment.
Butler Xin snapped his fingers toward the dazed butler, "It’s impudent to stare at the Young Miss."
The young butler blushed and lowered his head. He apologized sincerely and reported, "There is a Young Master outside waiting for the Young Miss. Shall I tell the guards to let him in?"
Bei Sangyun’s eyes lit up, and she acquiesced.
At the same time, in the fourth branch’s wing, a butler came in and reported to Lin Sunji.
"Young Master Jang Shin is waiting outside. We told the guards to let him in."
Lin Sunji stood up with grace. Her fiery red dress flowed like a beautiful crystallized flame. Her eyes glinted with determination to win. She smiled sweetly and a bit seductively, "My escort is here."
Today, she would win the Queen of the Night. She would recover from the shame and embarrassment of her expulsion from the heir battle. She would debut grandiosely and make her grandfather regret his decision!
Jang Shin...
He would be her stepping stone to recovering the face she lost to her grandfather. So what of the Simon family? She could get the Jang family on her side and become the Madame of the family that was not any lesser than the Fei family!
A few minutes later, a flashy white limousine entered the Lin mansion.
Most of the workers knew that there were two Young Misses who would debut today. So there would be two escorts. And many people knew that the Young Miss from the fourth branch had the favored Young Master of the Jang family as her escort.
As for who the owner of this extravagant and grandiose car was, it was undoubtedly Jang Shin’s—the escort for Lin Sunji.
When Lin Sunji heard her escort came with the Phantom white limousine that only five people in the world have, her pride soared to the sky. See, this is the Jang family she chose!
Even Lin Xiaoni, who thought she got a satisfying engagement with the Simon family, gritted her teeth in envy. If she debuted, and Richard was her escort, would he use such a luxurious car to pick her up?
The answer was no. First, it was doubtful if Richard owned one, and second, if he would give her enough face to use such an extravagant car to show his affection. Her fiancé did not even give her a single flower.
Everyone watched the luxurious car circle around the Lin mansion and expected it to stop at the fourth branch’s building, but it just passed by Lin Sunji’s building and parked in front of the third branch’s wing.
The passenger door opened, revealing a tall, handsome man in an expertly tailored deep blue sapphire suit. He wore a single-breasted design with a sleek three-button jacket, a deep blue vest, and a white dress shirt underneath, complemented with a sapphire silk tie.
His hair was well-groomed, neatly trimmed to the back of his ears. The long bangs that always covered his face were neatly cut above his eyebrows. His fair and handsome face with a touch of aloofness and nobility was exposed for everyone to see.
