841: Chapter 841: An Yiqing and Guh Siyi Confrontation (2)
At this ti, most of the guests had already arrived, with only those who had traveled a long distance or had last-minute affairs yet to co.
There were still over twenty minutes before the birthday banquet was set to begin, and Old Master Bai had yet to appear, amid the opulent villa where music and dancing abounded.
Led by Gu Yelin, An Yiqing, and Bai Yiming, a group of handso n and beautiful won in fine clothes gathered together, causing the other guests to frequently turn their heads and watch.
There was no helping it; the identities of Gu Yelin and his group were all exceedingly noble—mbers of the Gu Family, the An Family, the Bai Family, the Shen Family, and several other well-acquainted offspring of high officials.
Any one of these individuals would stand out in Xuandu City or even in Xuanjin as top-tier gentries.
“Qingqing, there has been so trouble in the Muyun Society; Duan Tang asked
to tell you he won’t be coming today,” Ruan Xue, wearing a black long dress, held a crystal goblet with an air of a queen.
“Trouble?
Is it serious?” An Yiqing asked concernedly.
Ruan Xue lazily shrugged her shoulders and shook her head nonchalantly, “Who knows?
My brother always keeps
out of gang affairs.
But, with my cunning and intelligence, I think this issue might not be small.
These days, my brother has been leaving early and returning late, sotis not coming ho for several consecutive days.
Even when the Muyun Society was at its busiest before, nothing like this had ever happened.”
“Pff, maybe your brother has a girlfriend,” Gu Tingting teased with a twinkle in her eyes and a schadenfreude tone.
“Him?
A girlfriend?” Ruan Xue arched her brows dramatically, and her rosy lips slightly curled, “If he managed to get a girlfriend, I would imdiately go to my parents’ grave and kowtow three tis.
My brother is quieter than a gourd, even a whip crack wouldn’t get a peep out of him.
If I didn’t know his sexual orientation was normal, I’d definitely think my brother and Duan Tang were an item!”
Ruan Xue’s words were punchy, making the other young n and won gathered together burst into laughter.
“Xiao Xue…” An Yiqing shook her head helplessly, quite at a loss as to how to deal with Ruan Xue’s unchecked speech.
Just as the group was thoroughly enjoying their conversation, a tall young woman in a black trench coat entered the villa and quickly approached An Yiqing.
“Miss, everything is normal,” the young woman said respectfully upon reaching An Yiqing.
“Mm, go and rest,” An Yiqing nodded, looking at the spirited Zhang Yufeng before her, “Oh, and call Ah Feng to check the recent movents of the Muyun Society.”
“Yes!” Zhang Yufeng nodded, uttering no more superfluous words, and turned to leave.
The exchange between An Yiqing and Zhang Yufeng was not intended to be quiet, and other distinguished offspring nearby heard everything clearly.
They exchanged glances, their eyes thoughtful.
To what extent was the strength of the Daughter of the An Family, to be able to investigate the moves of the Muyun Society so easily?
Since today was the Bai Family’s domain, An Yiqing did not plan to overshadow the host.
She maintained her usual low profile concerning interpersonal relations, making many unaware that she had even arrived.
However, on the other side, Gu Siyi provided a stark contrast to An Yiqing’s low profile.
From the mont she entered, Gu Siyi waded through the crowd, perfectly mingling left and right.
Her stunning red dress quickly made her the focal point of the event.
Although Gu Siyi was sowhat aloof, it had to be said that her social skills were incredibly sharp.
Even after being away from Xuanjin for five years, many notables still approached her to engage in conversation, always offering her a few words of respect.
“Hmph, look at Gu Siyi with her smug look, flaunting around like a social butterfly, she’s practically throwing the face of rich daughters away!” A young lady from a governntal family, standing with An Yiqing and others, couldn’t stand the idea of everyone treating Gu Siyi as the focus of the party and sneered with acid in her voice.
