In the garden, fireworks and bright lights lit up the entire garden. The wine poured into tall glasses stacked on top of each other, and exquisite pastries were placed on the long table. Under the illumination of the lights, they gave off a faint luster, casting a dazzling and misty landscape.
There were already quite a number of wealthy ladies present. Mrs. Huo had long been dressed up and attended to the guests with Huo Zhenggang.
The guests at the banquet all had extraordinary status. The luxury cars parked outside were almost identical. It was as if all the luxury cars in Nan Cheng had gathered together, and they were all limited-edition models.
Most of the male reporters invited were envious of the luxury cars as they flashed their cameras when the guests arrived. These were the richest people in Nan Cheng and the reporters finally understood why the rich were not so popular.
They were showing off their wealth without any humility.
In the garden, Mrs. Huo and her husband mingled with the guests.
"Mr. and Mrs. Huo, long time no see." The lady who approached them was wearing a light gold Cheongsam, and her left hand was linked to a young and handsome man. He looked very elegant.
"Oh, it's Mrs. Li. Welcome. Is this Qiao Fan? He just came back from studying in the UK, right? He's very handsome." Mrs. Huo looked at Li Qiao Fan as she flattered him.
Mrs. Li's face was full of pride after Mrs. Huo talked about her son. "Yes. He just came back yesterday. I just brought Qiao Fan here today to meet you."
"Hello, Auntie Huo." Li Qiao Fan looked gentle and polite.
Mrs. Huo Smiled elegantly. "How sweet. How are your studies?"
While they were exchanging pleasantries, Li Qiao Fan caught a glimpse of a figure slowly walking out. Under the dim light, Gu Yanwei was wearing a long dress with one shoulder and a tail. She had an elegant and beautiful smile on her face, and her silhouette under the light was unbelievably beautiful.
He was instantly stunned.
Madam Li naturally noticed her son's gaze. She followed his gaze and saw Gu Yanwei. She looked like a girl with a high-class temperament to match her good looks. No wonder Qiao Fan was moved.
Her thoughts moved slightly, and she also began to observe Gu Yanwei.
Gu Yanwei had long noticed that there was a fiery gaze on her, but she deliberately avoided making eye contact. Every move she made was deliberately seductive.
The admiring gaze of a man made her feel completely superior. Moreover, the men attending the banquet today were all sons of wealthy families.
Many other men at the banquet were also attracted to Gu Yanwei's charm.
"Yanwei, you've become even more beautiful than the last time I saw you."
"Every beautiful girl depends on her clothes. The price of the dress on Yanwei's body is shocking. Did your boss give you a raise again?" The words of a certain heiress in the surroundings had a profound meaning. These flirtatious words made Gu Yanwei blush. "You guys only know how to make fun of me."
"How is this making fun of you? Everyone is obviously praising you!"
"That's right, that's right!"
Aside from her status, Gu Yanwei was a rare beauty. Even though she did not have a good family background, she had successfully entered the upper-class circle.
They seemed to forget that Gu Yanwei had relied on Gu Ruochu to get into the upper-class circle.
They had completely overlooked Gu Ruochu, the true mistress of the Huo family. Instead, they labeled Gu Yanwei as the lucky and hardworking beauty.
Today's Huo family dinner was clearly another opportunity for Gu Yanwei to shine.
Feeling the surrounding gazes of envy, surprise, and even jealousy, the corners of Gu Yanwei's mouth curled up slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face.
Suddenly, the originally noisy room fell silent.
It was as if someone special had arrived, Gu Yanwei heard the low gasps around her as everyone's eyes turned to look at the garden escalator.
