As everyone chitchatted, Chu Tian, under the support of a maid, began to walk down the spiraling staircase and into the living room.
She wore a sparkling golden gown that showed off her nice figure. Her long wavy hair that draped down her back made her appear very feminine.
Her face was round and did not necessarily stand out. However, under the nicely layered makeup, she appeared beautiful and attention-catching.
The jewelry she wore was noticeably expensive and rare. Everything she wore allowed her to emit an elegant aura.
Below, people observed and whispered in secret.
“I thought it was all a rumor. But it looks like the Qi family truly treats her like she’s one of their own now. They spent mad money on her clothes just for this one event.”
“You’re so right. Look at her gown. If I remember correctly, it’s a collectible item from the designer Dalian. There’s only one worldwide. Also, look at her accessories. All of them are so valuable.”
“This is the definition of a sparrow turning into a phoenix. It’s not an exaggeration to say that she is now the number one lady in the Capital City. Though the Qi family is only ranked second, it’s pretty much just as powerful as the Jun family. There’s only one girl in the Qi family so of course, they’d treat her like she’s a treasure.”
“...”
Downstairs, Lou Yufei and Fu Siying hid their jealousy and walked up to Chu Tian. One went to hold onto her left arm while the other went to grab her right arm.
Lou Yufei, “Tiantian, your gown is so beautiful! The Qi family really is treating you like you’re their granddaughter!”
Fu Siying agreed, “You’re now known as the number one lady in the Capital City.”
Chu Tian’s heart flew as those two flattered her.
Before, she didn’t dare to think about this social circle. None of these people were people she would normally be able to interact with.
But today, they all buttered her up and spoke to her like she was above them. How could she stop herself from feeling excited?
Just then, noises arose as a group of people entered.
Jun Yexuan and Mu Jinghang had arrived.
Chu Tian, Lou Yufei, and Fu Siying saw who were here and became infatuated.
The young masters of the Capital City were in possession of influence, wealth, privileges, status, and handsomeness. No women disliked them. They only feared they weren’t good enough for them.
Fu Siying hid her excitement and looked over to Chu Tian, “Tiantian, you’re of a different level now so you need to start dreaming bigger. I know a lot of men from rich families have tried to get closer to you recently.”
“However, you’re now the number one lady of the Capital City and the Qi family has your back. The average man isn’t good enough for you. I think only someone like third young master Jun is a good match for you.”
Lou Yufei didn’t exactly feel comfortable about the idea of pairing the man she loved with someone else.
However, she didn’t forget her intention. She smiled and chimed in, “Siying is right. The number one lady must be paired with the number one gentleman. The families are of the same status. He is talented while you are beautiful. The stars align for you two. In this city, other than you, nobody is good enough to be with third young master Jun.”
Chu Tian’s heart had an idea. She turned to them and smiled, “You guys need to stop joking around. I know for a fact that third young master Jun has a girlfriend.”
Lou Yufei clicked her tongue, “Tiantian, you’re so naïve. Girlfriend? That’s a fancy word for what she is. Honestly, those commoners are just playthings for those wealthy young masters.”
“For someone like third young master Jun, he would never actually end up with a commoner who came from the countryside.”
“Without a proper family background, no matter how capable a woman is, she would never be accepted into a wealth family.”
