Ye Zhenguo's downfall precipitated a swift decline in the Ye Family's status.
Fang Linbo hosted a lavish banquet at a city center hotel, extending invitations to Tongcheng's most influential figures. Among them, Li Fengchang was a notable guest.
Having nearly grown moldy from boredom at home, Mi Shen was brought out by Li Fengchang for some fresh air. Just as they entered the banquet hall, they ran into Fang Ruo head-on.
Upon seeing Mi Shen, the smile that had graced her face a second before vanished the next.
"Ruoruo, say hello to the Fourth Master and Miss Fifth," Fang Linbo said with a smile.
Yet Fang Ruo's lips curled disdainfully, as she sniffed and, lifting her dress, turned and walked away.
With his face unable to hide the embarrassment, Fang Linbo coughed lightly and offered a placating smile, "It's all my spoiling. Please don't mind her, Fourth Master. Right this way, please."
Li Fengchang smiled and, taking Mi Shen's hand, headed inside.
