Qi Corporation organized this cocktail party to provide high society with yet another platform for mingling; actually, many business deals are struck at such gatherings. Liu Chen witnessed men in suits and leather shoes getting acquainted, engaging in discussions, while the women gathered to chat about beauty, makeup, and men.
Discussions were centered on who was handsome, who had a high net worth, hypothetical matches of who marrying whom, and who led the scandals of the entertainment industry—essentially all the topics women enjoy.
Lin Xueting stood silently with a glass of wine in a corner. She disliked getting involved in women's gossip. Even though Lin Xueting also came from a notable family, and her father had considered hosting a cocktail party for a long time with the aim of marrying her off sooner.
Lin Xueting flatly rejected her father's proposal and even threatened that if he insisted on doing so, she would run away from home and marry anyone at random.
