Since Fool Jiang had stood up for Yun Xi, the socialites at the hotel ca by every now and then to chat and get acquainted with her. Yun Xi did not refuse anyone who ca and showed off her best socializing skills from her previous life. She tackled group after group of socialites. Regardless of whether the other party was trying to make friends or to demonstrate their superiority and flaunt themselves, she attended to every single one of them.
The way Yun Xi behaved and communicated so naturally—like a fish underwater—was an eye-opening experience for Zhao Yumo. It was the first ti she had seen Yun Xi socializing so eloquently, whereas she would have been impatient if it were her—especially when a few of them had deliberately co to show off. It would have made her stomach churn if she had to utter even one more sentence to those won, but Yun Xi was able to throw the ball back at them with a smile. By doing so, she stumped her opponents without directly offending anyone, and Zhao Yumo was truly in awe of her!
After all the commotion that went on until midnight, she finally sent everyone away. Yun Xi lay lazily on the bed and sighed weakly, “It’s tougher to deal with these won than venomous snakes and wild beasts!”
Zhao Yumo walked over from the couch in the corner. She rolled Yun Xi over and massaged her shoulders for her. “You looked like a natural to . I didn’t think you were having a tough ti at all!”
”If it was hard enough for you to watch from the sidelines, how do you think it was for ? I had to keep a fake smile on. Even my face hurts now from all that smiling.”
”Okay, let’s wash up and rest early. There might be a tough battle awaiting us tomorrow!”
Yun Xi nodded. She had offended Jiang Yuwen earlier. Knowing her IQ and Liang Xinyi’s temperant, they would most certainly make a move tomorrow, so she had better be on the lookout.
Not wanting to deal with the group of ladies, Yun Xi and Zhao Yumo went to the restaurant early the next morning to have their al. They managed to avoid eting those likely to be there at peak al tis, who would’ve made them lose their appetites. After they finished their food, they quickly went back to the room.
Having carefully calculated the stipulated entry ti, the two of them ca out of the room after changing into appropriate dresses.
The hotel was cozily heated. Yun Xi looked at herself in the mirror by the door, wearing a one-shoulder embroidered satin dress in mustard yellow that was cinched around the waist. The one-shoulder design reflected her petite oval face, and the double-layered bow tied around her body outlined her slender waist, while the pleated dress touched the ground. There wasn’t a dramatic fluffy tulle. Instead, the way the dress was draped and the pleats highlighted her tall and slender figure.
Twirling her hair up, she took a flowery hairpin from her costic bag and inserted it through the top of her hair. She turned to look at Zhao Yumo who stood beside her. She was wearing a blue and gray off-shoulder tulle dress embroidered with protruding flowers. She looked both extravagant and decent without losing the elegance of a noble lady. It looked so good on her that there was simply nothing to fault.
”It’s almost ti. Let’s go!” Yun Xi dragged Zhao Yumo along, and pulled out the key card as she exited the room.
Before reaching the entrance of the venue, Yun Xi was stopped by Su Ximan. Zhao Yumo saw that the two of them looked like they had sothing to discuss, so she nodded to Yun Xi and went ahead to wait for her at the banquet venue.
To her surprise, soone had been waiting in the corner at the bottom of the stairs. The mont she turned the corner, a cup of coffee ca splashing toward her face.

With her quick reflexes, Zhao Yumo lowered her body and turned to the other side. The person who had splashed the coffee was surprised by her speedy movents. The coffee had rely touched the side of her arms and waist, while the rest spilled onto the carpet.
”You—” Zhao Yumo raised her head and looked at Jiang Yuwen who was standing in the corner trembling with fury. She had clearly been waiting for her to arrive just to splash this cup of coffee at her.
The ti was almost up, and she could not afford to go back and change her clothes now. Punctuality was also one of the qualities evaluated as part of the assessnt.
When Jiang Yuwen saw that it was not Yun Xi but Zhao Yumo who had been splashed with coffee, she beca even more arrogant. She dusted her hands and threw the coffee cup she was holding into the trash can beside her as if nothing had happened.
”Oops, I’m so sorry. I didn’t an to spill it on you. My hands were shaky. You should’ve watched where you were going. Guess that will teach you a lesson!”
