FMLRWS Chapter 641

An Ke seemed a bit shy, likely because it was her first time in such a place. Hearing this, she exchanged a subtle smile with Luo Xi.

Luo Xi nodded slightly.

Ji Yun hadn’t expected the two to know each other and was slightly surprised. She also knew Jiang Yanyan, as many families were eager to cooperate with the Jiang family. After all, few families in Yun City could rival the four major families, and the Jiang family was particularly prominent. Plus, Jiang Yanyan was the apple of the Jiang family’s eye. Her father had promised that if Jiang Yanyan found a good man, the dowry he would give her would be half of the Jiang family’s fortune.

Just that one phrase about half of the Jiang family’s fortune was enough to make many families scramble, especially after the engagement with the Zhu family was called off. Many people began to stir.

Thus, Ji Yun was very cautious regarding Jiang Yanyan.

“Most people have arrived. Let’s all head inside.”

Ji Yun said, and everyone nodded in agreement.

The banquet was set on the rooftop garden of her home. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a bustling crowd, mostly women. People greeted Ji Yun along the way, indicating her considerable popularity.

It was Luo Xi and Jiang Yanyan’s first time at such a gathering of wealthy ladies, and they were quite curious about the scene.

The house was enormous. It even had an elevator that was ornately decorated.

Before long, the elevator stopped, and they stepped into the rooftop garden.

Surrounded by rectangular tables piled high with various delicacies, the garden was adorned with a variety of flowers and even a small fountain. The lavishness was breathtaking.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats.”

Ji Yun welcomed everyone.

Luo Xi and Jiang Yanyan chose a side to sit on, and soon many others arrived on the other side, warmly greeting Ji Yun. “Sister Ji, so many newcomers today! Can you introduce us?”

One woman dressed in a striking red gown and adorned with red gemstones around her neck, ears, and fingers, looking exceptionally extravagant.

Luo Xi originally thought Leng Me’er’s outfit was already exaggerated, but compared to this woman, it seemed quite normal.

The woman had deep-set features and wore bold makeup, looking like a foreign woman, and was taller than most around her.

“Yanqing, when did you return? You didn’t even tell me,” Ji Yun chided her playfully before introducing, “This is the young madam of the Yang family, Yu Yanqing. Yanqing, these are the Young Madam of the Leng family, Luo Xi, and An Ke, the fiancée of the Jiang family’s eldest son, along with his sister, Jiang Yanyan. Me’er, you already know her, so there’s no need for further introduction.”

Ji Yun said.

Yu Yanqing’s gaze swept across the group before landing on Luo Xi. Her expression was a mix of surprise and disbelief. “I thought it was a rumor, I can’t believe it’s true. This is hard to imagine.”

Ji Yun shook her head helplessly. “We only found out not long ago too. We’re just as shocked as you.”

“Miss Luo Xi, right? So you’re in a hidden marriage?” Yu Yanqing sat down opposite her, reached for a glass of red wine, and then asked curiously.

Luo Xi didn’t particularly like the way she looked at her. This woman exuded a very arrogant feeling, and the way she looked up and down at others was like how she was assessing merchandise, which was unpleasant.

“It’s not exactly a hidden marriage. It’s just that our wedding hasn’t been held yet, so no one knows.”
