With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

I turned on location services and found that the distance between us was less than 500 meters.

Shen Ci originally wanted to refuse, because she was indeed a little tired after flying two flights today. However, the distance was so close, and if Gu Lianxing knew that she was not going even though it was so close, she would definitely nag her again.

With a helpless sigh, Shen Ci replied, "Okay, I'll go a little later. Is there a dress code?"

"It would be best if it were more formal, but it's up to you to be comfortable."

Shen Ci smiled as she read the message. She knew without a doubt that everyone attending such a high-society party would be glamorous and sophisticated, and she didn't want to be different.

After running a hot bath in the bathroom, Shen Ci took a relaxing essential oil bath, and most of her fatigue dissipated.

She picked up the black fitted dress that Ali had given her, stood in front of the full-length mirror, and after trying it on, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Ali's taste is quite good. This dress is understated yet luxurious, not too over the top, but the deep V-neck adds a lot of atmosphere. The extreme black color contrasts sharply with her fair skin, making her look radiant.

Her hairstyle didn't need to be complicated; she casually pulled her dark hair back, letting the stray hairs fall across her forehead and cheeks, creating a natural and relaxed look.

The accessories are simpler: a delicate necklace paired with a three-dimensional pendant of a five-pointed star made of diamonds the size of a fingernail, instantly making the overall look complete and full.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Shen Ci couldn't help but admire and exclaim: "I'm so beautiful!"

I took out my phone, snapped a few pretty photos, and sent them to my sister. "You have great taste! I really like them."

After taking photos for a while, she finally picked up the small handbag she had chosen and left the house with a satisfied look on her face.

Following the navigation westward, it was less than 500 meters away. Hearing the noisy voices and rows of luxury cars parked along the roadside in the distance, Shen Ci knew he had arrived.

"Lianxing, I've arrived."

"Honey, I'm putting on makeup. I'll have Jiang Lingchuan pick you up!"

"Okay, I'm on the roadside to the right of the gate."

Luxury cars kept driving in, which shows how extensive the Gu family's connections are.

Shen Ci waited for less than five minutes before seeing Jiang Lingchuan, dressed in a white shirt, black vest, and bow tie, walk quickly out of the door.

He subconsciously looked around, and finally his gaze landed on Shen Ci with some doubt.

Behind the thick lenses, those eyes were full of uncertainty.

In the end, it was Shen Ci who saw him first and went up to greet him: "Jiang Lingchuan!"

"Shen Ci?"

He looked at Shen Ci, whose appearance had changed drastically and who was dazzlingly beautiful, and subconsciously took two steps back.

Shen Ci also looked at his outfit with interest, which made him look like a bartender in a high-end restaurant.

She wasn't wrong. When the Gu family had parties like this, Jiang Lingchuan, as the driver's son, would act as a waiter and earn some extra money.

Seeing Jiang Lingchuan's shocked and stunned expression, Shen Ci smiled generously and asked, "Do I look good today?"

One question made Jiang Lingchuan sound like Guan Yu, and his face turned red to the roots of his neck.

His throat bobbed involuntarily, then he awkwardly looked away and said, "Um... she's still putting on makeup in her room, and she asked me to take you in."

Seeing how easily he was teased, Shen Ci also stopped playing around and followed him through the gate.

The spacious front garden was decorated in a warm and romantic style, with flowers and self-service booths everywhere, a wide variety of delicious food, and waiters dressed like Jiang Lingchuan, wearing white gloves and carrying trays to serve guests.

There were also chefs grilling meat on site and bartenders mixing drinks. What you saw was exactly like the high-society parties you see in TV dramas.

Shen Ci, dressed in a black evening gown, immediately attracted the attention of many people upon her appearance.

Her beauty was crisp, clean, and flawless; everything about her, from head to toe, down to the last strand of hair, was just right.

Shen Ci simply followed Jiang Lingchuan as if no one else was there, all the way into the villa and up to the third floor. As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, they heard the unrestrained laughter of girls coming from the rooms inside.

Jiang Lingchuan stopped to the side, deliberately avoiding looking at Shen Ci's face, and said with his head down, "That's the one inside."

"Thank you."

Jiang Lingchuan nodded and ran downstairs as if fleeing. Shen Ci couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.

"How about this one? I bought it but haven't worn it once!"

In the room, piles of beautiful clothes were spread all over the bed and the floor, making the space, which was originally nearly 60 square meters, feel cluttered and slightly cramped.

Gu Lianxing picked up a dark blue evening gown and gestured to her several wealthy girlfriends, asking for their opinions.

"I think this one looks better than the previous one."

"Lianxing, I really envy how well you maintain your figure. You can fit into any nice clothes."

"I still prefer the original silk one; it was so light and airy."

Inside the room, three elegantly dressed young ladies from wealthy families responded warmly to Gu Lianxing, which only added to Gu Lianxing's dilemma.

Having too many clothes is definitely not a good thing; she's been picking through them for almost an hour and still hasn't found anything she likes.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the room.

Gu Lianxing's eyes lit up; she knew it was Shen Ci who had arrived!

She tossed the clothes in her hand aside and ran forward to open the door. The moment she opened the door, she was stunned.

A moment later, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my god, darling, you look absolutely stunning!"

He then rushed forward and gave Shen Ci a big hug.

Shen Ci looked at Gu Lianxing, who was still wearing a silk nightgown, with a wry smile, and said, "Weren't you already putting on makeup? Why haven't you changed your clothes?"

Gu Lianxing instantly made a bitter face and pulled Shen Ci into the house: "You've come at the right time. I've been looking for an hour and haven't found anything I like. You have to give me some advice!"

As soon as Shen Ci entered the room, the three girls inside stood up. Seeing the radiant beauty of Shen Ci, they all subconsciously showed expressions of amazement.

They were all Gu Lianxing's close friends who had grown up together since childhood. They were very similar in terms of family background and perspective, so their circle of friends was always very stable. They never knew that Gu Lianxing had such a beautiful friend by her side.

"Lianxing, when did you meet such a beautiful woman?"

"That's right, we've never seen it before."

"You must be one of your classmates, right?"

Someone guessed correctly, since only a few people were forced to separate during university, so it's not surprising that they made new friends.

Hearing her good friend say that, Gu Lianxing felt proud and proudly shook her head, saying, "Yes, she's my roommate, her name is Shen Ci, isn't she pretty?"

The group nodded in agreement, unabashedly acknowledging Shen Ci's beauty.

Who says girls are only jealous of each other? Who doesn't like a beautiful woman?
