The following morning, Zhao Lifei woke up later than expected.When she glanced at the clock, she had immediately climbed out of bed upon realizing it was late into the afternoon, which meant she had very little time to get ready.
Pacing back and fourth in her room, she nervously ran a hand through her hair as she observed the different array of dresses scattered throughout her bedroom. Despite the price tag and beautiful style of the dress, none of them interested her.
Suddenly, all of the clothes she had seemed boring and plain. This was a major dilemma, especially when the banquet was in less than three hours!
Groaning, she collapsed onto the bed.
"Maybe I should just hide somewhere and not show up. I doubt they would miss me." She said out loud, sighing as she did so. She knew she was lying to herself because everyone would know she didn't show up to her little sister's banquet. Not only would she look bad, but so would her family.
