Mrs. Lin was chatting with the housekeeper about family matters in the luxurious lounge.

She grew up in a prominent family and was a lady who paid great attention to her appearance when she was young. Although time has left traces on her face, her love for beauty has not diminished in the slightest.

The passage of time is merciless. Although she takes good care of herself, she always seems a little powerless compared to the brightness of her youth.

Therefore, when Ye Wanqing stepped lightly into the lounge, Mrs. Lin's eyes were immediately attracted by her temperament.

After not seeing each other for just over two months, Ye Wanqing's aura seemed more mature and her style more eye-catching.

Mrs. Lin was delighted when she saw her appear: "You are here."

Although she was used to maintaining a serious attitude in front of Ye Wanqing, at this moment, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy.

When Ye Wanqing walked in front of her, Mrs. Lin quickly restrained her expression and regained her former dignity.

Ye Wanqing was already accustomed to this. She just smiled gently and handed the carefully prepared gift to Mrs. Lin: "Mrs. Lin, I wish you happiness as vast as the East Sea and a life as long as the Southern Mountains."

Mrs. Lin glanced at Ye Wanqing, and said with a hint of approval: "You are quite attentive, child."

The housekeeper helped to accept the gift and couldn't help but interject, "Miss Ye seems to have lost some weight since the last time we met."

Ye Wanqing followed the housekeeper's gaze and glanced at herself gently: "Thank you for your concern. I accidentally caught a cold some time ago."

Mrs. Lin frowned slightly after hearing this, and her expression was filled with concern and a hint of blame: "How come you, young man, have caught a cold twice in two months?"

"Once when I was out, I was accidentally caught in the rain and snow." Ye Wanqing explained softly.

Mrs. Lin glanced at her sideways, her tone full of elder's concern: "You are so grown up, and you don't even know to bring an umbrella on a snowy day."

Ye Wanqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly and humbly accepted Mrs. Lin's criticism: "I will remember it and pay attention next time."

Mrs. Lin nodded, thinking to herself that since Ye Wanqing was no longer her granddaughter-in-law, it would be inappropriate to give her the same instructions as before.

"We've prepared a sumptuous meal downstairs. You young people, go and enjoy it," said Mrs. Lin.

Ye Wanqing responded softly, maintaining a polite attitude, and slowly left the lounge.

As soon as Ye Wanqing disappeared at the door, the housekeeper couldn't contain his curiosity and quickly opened the gift that Ye Wanqing had sent. He carefully showed it to Mrs. Lin: "Mrs. Lin, this is an exquisite silk scarf."

Mrs. Lin has always been fond of these exquisite little gadgets. One can tell at a glance that the silk scarf is carefully handmade with delicate double-sided embroidery.

The value of this gift lies not in its price but in the thoughtfulness of the giver.

Mrs. Lin couldn't put down this gift. The gift chosen by Ye Wanqing just hit her preferences, which shows Ye Wanqing's care and meticulousness.

"The embroidery is really exquisite. I think it must have been embroidered by Miss Ye herself." The housekeeper praised sincerely.

Mrs. Lin took the scarf and examined it carefully, then nodded with satisfaction: "She really put a lot of effort into it."

Then she gently handed the scarf to the housekeeper: "Put it away properly."

At the same time, before Xu Xinyi could figure out why Ye Wanqing appeared here, she saw her coming down from the stairs.

The birthday banquet had not yet officially begun, and Mrs. Lin was resting upstairs. Generally, no one would go upstairs without her special invitation.

As soon as Ye Wanqing arrived at the scene, she was invited to meet Mrs. Lin. This move undoubtedly aroused the curiosity and discussion of all the guests present.

"Ye Wanqing was received by Mrs. Lin as soon as she arrived. It seems that Mrs. Lin is quite satisfied with this former granddaughter-in-law."

"Of course. Ye Wanqing has lived in the Lin family for six years. What's not to be praised about her character and interpersonal skills? Look at her today. Even though she's divorced from Lin Xuan, she still behaved so gracefully at Mrs. Lin's birthday party."

"I have to say, apart from Ye Wanqing's family background not being as good as Lin Xuan's, in other aspects, she and Lin Xuan are quite compatible."

Xu Xinyi listened to the discussions around her and felt a little impatient. She took the red wine glass and walked over to the ladies who were chatting, with a hint of warning in her tone:

"Miss Ye and Lin Xuan's marriage has come to an end. It's better not to mention these discussions about whether they are a good match in front of the Lin family."

When the ladies saw Xu Xinyi's appearance, their expressions varied. Some were embarrassed, while others remained silent. However, none of them ultimately refuted her point. "Ms. Xu is right. We didn't mean what we said."

Xu Xinyi snorted softly, her gaze passing through the crowd, landing on Ye Wanqing, who stood elegantly not far away. Her expression gradually grew gloomy. After a brief moment of contemplation, a sly glint flashed in her eyes.

Doesn’t Ye Wanqing always like to be the center of attention?

So tonight, let her be the focus of the entire banquet!

Ye Wanqing slowly walked down the stairs from the second floor and met many familiar faces along the way. These people were all people she had interacted with because of her past identity as the young lady of the Lin family.

Now that her marriage with Lin Xuan has become a thing of the past, Ye Wanqing no longer needs to deliberately maintain these superficial social relationships. She just greeted him lightly and went straight to find Qin Zhuyu.

Qin Zhuyu was a little late to the party because she had to work overtime. When she saw Ye Wanqing, her eyes immediately lit up with surprise: "Wanqing, your outfit tonight is so beautiful that I can't take my eyes off you!"

She hadn't seen Ye Wanqing dressed so carefully for a long time, and the shock she felt when she first saw her was still vivid in her mind. However, Ye Wanqing rarely appeared in large occasions, which made her lose many opportunities to admire her.

I remember that the last time Ye Wanqing attended an event in a formal dress was two years ago. It was at the anniversary celebration of Xinghui Group. As the young lady of the Lin family, she made a stunning appearance in a red long dress. She was photographed by Xinghui employees and uploaded to the Internet, sparking widespread discussion.

But Lin Xuan became dissatisfied with Ye Wanqing because of that incident, and since then, Ye Wanqing has never appeared in such a formal dress in public again.

Unexpectedly, tonight, she once again witnessed Ye Wanqing carefully dressing herself up.

Ye Wanqing raised the corner of her mouth slightly and suggested with a smile: "If you have time, how about I take you to get a custom-made suit? It will definitely suit you very well."

Qin Zhuyu laughed self-deprecatingly and shook her head: "I can't do that. My figure and temperament are probably not suitable for those gorgeous clothes."

"You are too modest, Zhuyu. Your charm far exceeds your imagination." Ye Wanqing responded.

"With you here, of course I have to know my place!" Qin Zhuyu said half-jokingly, "Have you met Mrs. Lin?"

Ye Wanqing nodded slightly and replied, "Yes, I just met her."

"Oh, then I won't go up to disturb you." Qin Zhuyu had a certain awe for Mrs. Lin, so she admired Ye Wanqing for being favored by Mrs. Lin.

While the two were chatting casually, Qin Zhuyu's other friends also arrived at the scene one after another. She was busy greeting them and had no time to continue accompanying Ye Wanqing.

Ye Wanqing didn't mind. She put down the red wine glass in her hand and planned to go outside to breathe some fresh air.

The side door of the banquet hall led to a corridor leading to the restroom, and there was another door on the way that led to an open-air garden. Ye Wanqing had originally planned to find a quiet corner in the garden to sit down. She didn't like being approached by strangers in such occasions, and she was too lazy to engage in social activities.

However, before she reached the garden gate, she unexpectedly met Xu Xinyi.

"Ms. Ye, your outfit tonight is really eye-catching."

Ye Wanqing looked at Xu Xinyi gently and replied with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment. Miss Xu is also dazzling and very attractive tonight."

Xu Xinyi had indeed put a lot of thought into dressing up tonight. She had confidently believed that the spotlight would be on her, but she had never expected that Ye Wanqing's appearance would instantly attract everyone's attention.

This thought flashed through Xu Xinyi's mind, making her feel a little jealous. Just then, she noticed someone walking up behind Ye Wanqing. Xu Xinyi was secretly delighted and took the opportunity to say, "Miss Ye, are you feeling a little bored here?"

Ye Wanqing didn't intend to communicate too much with Xu Xinyi, and simply nodded: "Yeah."

"Zhao Jinyu was delayed by something. Miss Ye, just wait a little longer, he should be here soon."

There was a hint of ambiguity in Xu Xinyi's words. Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly and responded politely: "Then you go ahead and do your work, Miss Xu."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Wanqing walked around Xu Xinyi, continued walking forward, then turned and left the small garden.

Xu Xinyi raised her eyebrows, stared at Lin Xuan as he walked towards her, and asked, "Are you here to see Miss Ye?"

Lin Xuan glanced at Xu Xinyi coldly, turned around and walked away without answering her question. He did come to see Ye Wanqing, but Xu Xinyi's words just now made him feel angry.

He accidentally saw Ye Wanqing and Zhao Jinyu having dinner together last time. Now Xu Xinyi's words seemed to imply that Zhao Jinyu's lateness made Ye Wanqing wait.

It's only been over a month since her divorce, and she has established such a close relationship with another man so quickly?

This thought made Lin Xuan feel uncomfortable.
