Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

When Evelin returned to the party, it had already begun.

Garland came to the door and took Evelyn's hand, then walked towards Edward at the top of the stairs under everyone's gaze.

"Happy birthday, Grandpa."

“I hope you like it.”

Evelin smiled and spoke, and the maids following behind her stood in a row and opened the brocade boxes in their hands.

“Wow… top-grade glass-type imperial green!”

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone started whispering to each other.

"The Imperial Green Nine Dragon Wall, that article belongs to the century-old Taiwen family, right?"

"Really, he is indeed a royal aristocrat."

The atmosphere in the banquet hall became lively again, and those who knew the situation couldn't help but come forward to observe.

"But this green doesn't look natural."

Suddenly, a female voice, neither loud nor soft, was heard. Edward's smiling face darkened for a moment when he heard this.

When everyone turned back to look for the source of the sound, the man had disappeared.

However, Evelin could hear it.

Who else could this voice be but Gu Yiyi?

It seems that Gu Yiyi still holds a grudge against her.

"Now that you mention it, it seems like the green is really too pure."

"Yes, there is no such material in natural jade."

"Don't talk nonsense, how can your Highness buy inferior products!"

"I'm afraid it's not available, so they sell inferior goods as good ones."

...

Similar voices came one after another and gradually drowned out the voices of praise.

Edward forced a smile with a dark face. There were so many people coming today and he couldn't get angry.

Evelin didn’t know much about jade and jadeite, so he would be happy even if she gave him a fake one.

But this group of people insisted on discussing it in such an occasion, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"cough."

Edward coughed in dissatisfaction and glanced at everyone with the attitude of a superior. Everyone then realized that they had lost their composure and dared not discuss the issue anymore.

It's not yet time for these people to comment on his granddaughter.

"It seems that everyone is not satisfied with the quality of my century-old family brand."

At this time, Tywin walked out of the crowd and saluted Edward respectfully.

"Happy birthday, Prince."

"Tywin, it's been a long time."

When Edward saw it was Tywin, a smile appeared on his face and he greeted him happily.

"I haven't seen you since the last exhibition."

Tywin couldn't help but sigh, then he glanced and saw Gu Yiyi hiding in the crowd.

"Your Highness, this set of Nine Dragon Screen was taken out of the safe by me personally and presented to you."

"To question your Highness is to question me, Tywin."

"I wonder if your Nansu Gu family is qualified enough to bear this question."

Tywin stared at Gu Yiyi who lowered her head and wanted to leave, and every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful.

The Lan family's royal guards also quickly entered the crowd and held down Gu Yiyi.

The crowd was in an uproar. The Centennial Taiwen was the spokesperson for Jade.

As mentioned before, there are no defective products. Even the high-end quality jadeite on the market is not even considered good enough by Tai Wen.

The century-old Tai Wen is a giant in the jade industry. If you question him, there will be no real jade in the world.

"What is Nansu Gu Family?"

“Never heard of it.”

"How many Gu families does she have that can make her lose like this!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, it has to be the Lan family."

"The Lan family must be so powerful that they can even choose the jadeite in the century-old Taiwen safe at will."

"Yes, the royal family has to be the Lan family!"

"The little princess is truly an outstanding person. Even an elder like Tywin respects her so much."

Everyone talked a little bit, and Gu Yiyi finally realized the problem.

Whether it’s from coming to Lan Castle today, or from everyone’s respect for all the members of the Lan family.

Her Gu family is absolutely an insignificant ant to the Lan family.

Just seeing Evelyn's extremely enviable face and being accompanied by such a stunningly handsome guy like Garland.

She was so emotional that she didn't consider at all whether she or her Gu family could bear the consequences.

"It seems that it's time to stop some of the cooperation with the Gu family."

"Otherwise, the dog will be able to ride on the master's head."

Garland spoke, and he was filled with anger when he recalled the video of Gu Yiyi being aggressive and looking down on Evelin that day.

"Lan Dian, I was blind to the truth! Please let the Gu family go!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Yiyi immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, knocking her head loudly, no longer having the arrogance she once had.

Garland's words sentenced the Gu family to death.

Not to mention that without the support of the Lan family, even the smallest family would not dare to have any dealings with the Gu family.

Because of her careless words, she no longer cared about her family.

"When you cursed and insulted the little prince, didn't you think this day would come?"

Tywin shook his head and looked at Gu Yiyi, who was crying with a bloody forehead, without any pity.

"Is there such a thing?!"

Edward spoke out angrily, and he knew what the insult to Evelyn was without even having to think about it.

This is Edward's biggest minefield. He can't stand anyone questioning Evelyn's background.

"In the name of Edward III, I sentence the Gu family to be expelled from the Northern Continent and never be allowed to enter again!"

After he finished speaking, everyone who was originally furious with Edward began to ask him to calm down.

"You will suffer the consequences if you do evil."

"You dare to insult even the young prince. You are really blind."

"If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place?"

Gu Yiyi finally felt hopeless after listening to the discussions of people around her.

No matter how hard you struggle, the fact is that it is a foregone conclusion.

Who else can she blame? She can only blame herself for being a frog in a well and having no vision.

After the farce, Edward left early due to illness and anger.

Evelyn and Garland were left to continue entertaining the guests.

"Hi, little princess."

Vincent approached Evelin who had just sat down with a glass of red wine, which really scared Evelin who was resting with her eyes closed.

"Why are you everywhere!"

Evelin glared at him in dissatisfaction.

Somehow, this glance seemed like a seduction, making Vincent feel a little hot.

Vincent was puzzled and couldn't help but wonder if he had been lacking women for too long? !

Evelyn saw Vincent's expression of confusion and enjoyment at times, and she once again labeled him a pervert in her heart.

"Why are you here at the Lan family's banquet?"

Suddenly, Evelin remembered that Vincent was the head of the Si family, and couldn’t help but ask.

"I heard there was a good show today, so I came."

"I love watching plays the most."

Vincent said, smiling and holding up his glass, motioning Evelin to look over.

Evelyn followed the direction he pointed and found that Huo Wanqing, who had disappeared since they parted in the garden, appeared beside Garland.

Evelin’s fatigue was swept away in an instant, and she leisurely shook her wine glass and leaned against the wall, waiting for Huo Wanqing’s action.

She wanted to see what tricks this crazy woman would play at the Lan family's banquet.

Just as everyone was talking, suddenly, all the lights in the banquet hall went out.
