After being read, I was really numb

Xu Wenjie lowered his head and deliberately leaned close to Xiao Xin's ear and whispered, "So when no one is watching, can Brother Xu hold Xinxin's hand..."

"Brother Xu, you are bad~"

Xiao Xin covered her throbbing chest and stood up to avoid Xu Wenjie's approaching lips: "Brother Xu, I'm going to the bathroom."

After Xiao Xin left, Xu Wenjie leaned back, leaning against the back of the sofa, and smiled evilly.

The daughter of this small family was quite good at playing the trick of playing it safe, which was quite to her liking.

But it's okay just for fun, but if it comes to marriage, the small Xiao family is not qualified.

Xiao Xin walked out of the back door of the banquet hall in one breath. There was a huge swimming pool in the backyard. The lights were bright all around the pool, and it was decorated pink with flowers and tulle.

A chill blew in her face, and goose bumps appeared on Xiao Xin's exposed shoulders. After calming down a little, she stepped into the banquet hall again.

She clearly felt that Xu Wenjie was very interested in her, but he was mostly in a playful mood. She was determined to marry into a wealthy family, so it was impossible for her to let him succeed so easily.

Xiao Xin's muddled mind finally became clear. She strolled among the crowd, and a beautiful woman in red caught her attention.

Why does that woman look so much like my adoptive mother Liu Yuan’s best friend, Aunt Min who taught me to dance?

Xiao Xin subconsciously walked over and called out to the beautiful lady in red who was chatting with someone while holding a glass of red wine: "Aunt Min? Are you Aunt Min? Why are you here?"

"So it's Xinxin. That's a strange question. You can come here to attend the banquet, so why can't I be here?"

Lin Min had a decent smile on her face, but a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes, but she concealed it well.

"Mrs. Lu, which family is this young lady from? Why does she speak so strangely?"

"Her, her name is..." Lin Min paused deliberately before asking, "Um, Xinxin, your name is Xiao Xin now, right?"

After Lin Min asked, without waiting for Xiao Xin to answer, she turned to the lady in the blue skirt who asked the question and said:

"She is a lady from the Xiao Group and one of my former students. She has studied dancing with me for a few years, but her aptitude is average and she is barely able to learn."

The lady in the blue skirt didn't understand what was going on and thought Lin Min was being modest on Xiao Xin's behalf, so she casually praised:

"Mrs. Lu, your student is so lucky to have the opportunity to learn dancing from you, a national first-class dancer. Without saying too much, as long as she can learn even a little bit of your true skills, it will be enough for her to use in her life in our circle."

Lin Min: "Mrs. Qian, I don't deserve your compliment. My student is good-looking, but I feel like she doesn't seem to be very smart."

"She was clumsy when she was learning to dance, and she was afraid of hard work. I taught her for several years, but she didn't achieve any results that were presentable to others."

Mrs. Qian tasted something different in Lin Min's words this time, and she casually agreed:

"Mrs. Lu, now that you've mentioned that, I just realized that Miss Xiao looks very pretty, but she does look a little bit unintelligent."

Lin Min: "Madam Qian, my student is indeed not very smart. I only taught her casually because of her adoptive mother's favor. She is not considered an entry-level disciple, so it doesn't matter."

Madam Qian: "Madam Lu, fortunately this Miss Xiao is not your disciple, otherwise, your reputation would be affected..."

Xiao Xin listened to the conversation between the two people and wanted to ask several times, but she didn't know what to ask. In the end, she could only leave in a daze.

She still remembered that when she was at the Lan family, Liu Yuan introduced Aunt Min to her, saying that she was just a person who had studied dance for a few years.

But why did Mrs. Qian say that Aunt Min was a national first-class dancer?

Xiao Xin, dazed, walked through the crowd, feeling dizzy, and wanted to go out for some fresh air.

When he turned around, he accidentally bumped into a lady in a black dress who was holding a wine glass. As luck would have it, the glass of wine spilled directly on the lady's skirt.

Xiao Xin was so scared that her face turned pale. She lowered her head and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm really sorry. It was all my fault. I really didn't mean it. I'm sorry."

Before attending the banquet, Xiao Yuanshan gave many warnings and instructions that the guests attending the banquet today were basically people that his family could not afford to offend.

However, she was so careless that she spilled the wine on the lady. Looking at the luxurious jewelry on her, she could guess that her dress was definitely not cheap.

Now, she really has no other choice but to apologize. She just hopes that if she can be more sincere and humble, the other party will not bother with her.

A gentle female voice sounded: "It's okay, Miss Xiao, don't worry, I brought a spare dress, just change into it."

Such a familiar voice?

And she knows me?

Xiao Xin couldn't help but look up. Wasn't this noble lady who she couldn't afford to offend the teacher Yuan who taught her to play the piano?

"Teacher Yuan? Why are you here? Why are you attending this party?"

Yuan Yuan's calm eyes swept over the worst student she had ever taught, and she said in a gentle voice:

"Miss Xiao, this is a strange question. If you can be invited to the Lan family's banquet, why can't I come to the Lan family's banquet?"

Xiao Xin: "...But this is a banquet for a wealthy family, and you are just a piano teacher?"

Yuan Yuan shook his head: "Fortunately, you are not my student, not even a registered disciple. This makes me very happy."

Xiao Xin: "Teacher Yuan, what do you mean by this?"

Yuan Yuan smiled indifferently and distantly: "Ms. Xiao, I need to change into a dress. Excuse me."

Xiao Xin felt a little dizzy as she watched Yuan Yuan leave.

She was very confused.

Yuan Yuan is just an ordinary piano teacher. What qualifications does she have to attend this high-end banquet with a starting cost of tens of billions?

Lin Min is just a close friend of her adoptive mother Liu Yuan. She heard from her adoptive mother that her family are all civil servants, just an ordinary family. What qualifications do they have to attend this top-tier wealthy banquet?

Xiao Xin had a feeling in her heart that today's banquet was very unfriendly to her.

As expected, she walked around the banquet hall and found Grandma Liu who taught her to sing, Miss Lin who taught her to arrange flowers, and Aunt Mu who taught her to paint...

Why did things turn out like this?

How could these ordinary people be qualified to appear at the grand banquet of the Lan family, the head of the Lanfeng Group?

Xiao Xin felt panic in her heart. The Lan family, Lan Ling, Lan Xinghui, Lan Xingyue...

Will not! Will not!

impossible! Absolutely impossible!
