　　Jiang Chenghuan had been held up, so the hotel manager in charge of the

　　banquet greeted the two of them instead. It seemed that Jiang Chenghuan had

　　given him specific instructions beforehand. Even though they were just

　　interning as waitresses, the manager’s att.i.tude was respectful.

　　They changed into the waitress uniforms, then she and Zhao Yumo each tooka

　　mask of a different color and followed the manager to the venue of the party.

　　Everything was all set up, and guests were arriving one after another. Jiang

　　Chenghuan had now also arrived early to entertain the guests, insteadof

　　coming in late like some c.o.c.ky hosts. He clearly cared a lot about this cousin of

　　his.

　　Yun Xi swept her eyes across the scene. There was quite a crowd, mostof

　　whom she had seen at previous banquets. They were all people from the same

　　circle.

　　What she did not expect to see was Liang Xinyi showing up with Han

　　Zhongteng&

　　During this period of time when Han Wanling was in jail, Liang Xinyi had

　　become Han Hongbin’s eyes and kept herself close to Han Zhongteng. She had

　　completely humiliated herself at the wedding banquet, yet now she had Han

　　Zhongteng wrapped around her little finger. Looks like Liang Xinyi did not

　　waste much time at all.

　　But thinking about it, if she had not tried her best to stay by Han Zhongteng’s

　　side, then she would have been deemed useless by Han Hongbin.

　　Although it was a masquerade ball, some of the guests wore only a half mask

　　on their faces, so they could still tell who they were speaking to.

　　This was unlike the waiters, who only showed their lips and chin after putting

　　on their masks. Apart from distinguis.h.i.+ng each other by color, they could

　　hardly recognize who was behind the masks at all.

　　Before the party had officially begun, almost all of the guests had arrived. Even

　　Yan Jiaren, who was the host of the ball, had arrived. The scene in the majestic

　　ballroom gradually quietened, and everyone turned to look at the black

　　silhouette at the top of the stairs.

　　Amid the crowd, Yun Xi raised her eyes to lookat Yan Jiaren, who was now

　　descending the stairs, dressed in a black vintage V-neck tulle dress that

　　touched the ground. Her figure was slender and tall, and she had cla.s.sically

　　glamorous makeup on her face.

　　A small hairpin attached to a see-through veil mask with tiny shards of black

　　diamonds was pinned to the top of her head. The clever design allowed

　　everyone to see her appearance clearly without straying from the theme of

　　today’s masquerade party.

　　Her red lips were slighthly arched. Although the expression in her eyes was

　　distant and cold, the smile on her face was enough to mesmerize the many

　　men present.

　　When she saw her for the first time, Yun Xi knew that she was not a simple

　　woman at all. She had the aura of a strong and powerful woman and her

　　movements were so refined, she must have gone through rigorous training to

　　become the elegant and poised celebrity she was. Maybe it was because of the

　　way she had been brought up. Yun Xi could see that despite the many wealthy

　　and eligible bachelors among the crowd, none of them could catch her eye

　　The arrogance she exuded gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Wasn’t

　　this the same aura as that domineering tyrant, Mu Feichi?

　　The only difference between them was that Yan Jiaren seemed a little

　　pretentiously c.o.c.ky, unlike Mu Feichi’s innate sense of nonchalance that came

　　naturally.

　　Thank you to everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedules to

　　attend my party. I am Yan Jiaren. Today’s party is to celebrate my retum back

　　to my homeland and also the opening of my store. I will be spending a lot of

　　time in the country from now on, so please take care of me and thank you!”

　　Such a perfectly concise introduction, so neat and unambiguous, while the

　　power she exuded caused many men to stare with their mouths wide open.

　　Yun Xi knew at a glance that the look in her eyes was that of an excited hunter

　　stalking her prey.

　　A weak woman could make a man feel compa.s.sion, buta strong woman could

　　easily arouse a man’s desire to conquer. This was the difference between the

　　two.

　　The party quickly resumed. Yun Xi walked between the guests with a wine tray

　　in her hand. Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling stood in the crowd, desperately trying

　　to identify who was Jiang Chenghuan’s aunt and which was the wealthy prince

　　charming Liang Xiuqin wanted as her son-in-law..
