Quick Transmigration: The Charismatic One - A Sober Fall
Chapter 52 Girl
Just as Tu Mi was about to retreat, Yue Shuiying suddenly grabbed Tu Mi's wrist, staring intently at her, "You........."
Tu Mi lowered her voice, ignoring the gazes behind her, "I know, I know everything."
Yue Shuiying looked into Tu Mi's eyes, which were still lifeless, but now they had him firmly ensnared, making it impossible for him to escape or break free. With a calm and collected demeanor, she controlled the entire situation.
Yue Shuiying had always known that Tu Mi was very clever, but she never expected that Tu Mi would go to such lengths.
Yue Shuiying opened her mouth as if to say something, but Tu Mi reached out and pressed her lips to Yue Shuiying's, smiling, "Can we talk about these things later? You just need to remember that I can give you everything you want, but he can't."
The "he" that Tu Mi mentioned is Yue Wuque.
After saying that, Tu Mi secretly made a hand gesture to Yue Shuiying, whose eyes flickered in understanding.
In a room on the second floor with the window open
Feng Jian stood by the window, watching Tu Mi and Yue Shuiying leave with quiet eyes.
Time Reversal
Although the banquet had begun, it had not yet reached its climax. Feng Jin simply rested in the lounge for a while. At the moment when Tu Mi entered the garden, Feng Jin was admiring the scenery outside the window when he inadvertently saw Tu Mi, and his gaze unconsciously shifted from the scenery to Tu Mi.
As for why the lights weren't on inside, it's because Feng Jian really liked this dark and secluded environment, like a wolf lurking in the depths of the forest at midnight.
Standing by the window, Feng Jian naturally saw Tu Mi drunkenly tasting champagne, pretending to sleep with her eyes closed, and later being harassed by Yue Shuiying.
Feng Jin held his coffee, took a sip, and his eyes, hidden behind his glasses, remained calm and composed. Tu Mi was truly beautiful, with delicate eyebrows and rosy lips. In the past, Feng Jin would have thought that if such a beautiful girl like Tu Mi were born into an ordinary family, her beauty would be her death warrant. But now, Feng Jin lowered his gaze, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. Tu Mi, a very intelligent and interesting young man.
"Snack Buckle"
Feng Kan took another sip of coffee, his voice steady, "Come in."
Zhu Tong respectfully said, "Patriarch, let's begin."
Feng Jin picked up the coat from the side and gave a faint "hmm" to indicate that he understood.

Banquet venue
Tu Mi and Yue Shuiying walked into the garden one after the other. As Tu Mi passed a waiter, she handed him her empty wine glass.
Jin Se, who was standing next to Jin He, happened to see this scene. He frowned. What were those two doing together?! Why were Tu Mi's lips so red?! Why were Tu Mi's eyes so...? Tu Mi looked like she'd been messed up...
Yue Shuiying looks so much like Yue Wuque, could Tu Mi be using Yue Shuiying as a substitute? What were they doing in the garden just now?...
Jin Sesan became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it. Could Yue Shuiying have bullied Tu Mi?
Jin Sesan just wanted to rush to Tu Mi's side to ask what had happened, but... Jin Sesan looked at his father in front of him. He had to give up the idea of using his father as an introduction to get to know his business partners. He was just a junior colleague, and he didn't know why his father was so flustered.
As soon as Tu Mi entered the banquet, she saw her father beckoning to her, and Tu Mi quickly walked over.
When Tu Mi arrived in front of Tu Fu, Tu Fu gestured for Tu Mi to look at a group of girls in formal dresses diagonally in front of her.
Tu Mi glanced over, giving the group of girls a polite look; they were a very cute group. Then Tu Mi looked at Tu Fu and whispered, "Father, this is..."
Tu Fu looked at Tu Mi with a smile in his eyes and silently uttered a single word: "Moon".
Tu Mi immediately understood that these girls' families were all aristocratic families that sided with the Yue family. Because of Yue Wuque, the candidate of the Yue family disappeared, and the aristocratic families who were pessimistic about the future development of the Yue family wanted to break away from the Yue family, but had no other major families to rely on, they could only rely on the Tu family for a bright future. The Tu family was able to do this entirely because of the right timing, the right place, and the right people. Of course, opportunities are given to the prepared families.
The reason these girls were sent to talk to Tu Mi wasn't because their families sent them to seduce her. Rather, it's because girls are less aggressive and gentler in appearance than boys. Everyone has an innate instinct to pursue and appreciate beauty, and girls are even more so. Tu Mi is already beautiful, like an angel, so it's not abrupt for a group of girls to chatter and surround her; it just feels lovely.
After entrusting the important matters to Tu Mi, Tu Fu turned and left. He had to leave, otherwise things would not be able to proceed smoothly.
Some aristocratic families that had once been affiliated with the Yue family wanted to join the Tu family. This could not be done openly. They had to find a way to avoid arousing suspicion from the four major families. For example, girls naturally pursue beauty. When they saw that Tu Mi was very beautiful, they wanted to get closer to her. However, they hesitated because of shyness. But they encouraged each other and finally took a step forward to try to talk. Unexpectedly, Tu Mi chatted happily with them.
Thus, the following scene unfolded at the banquet:
Not far from Tu Mi, a cute and charming girl in a pink dress glanced at Tu Mi again and again with a blush on her face. Seemingly feeling that she was being impolite, she turned around and buried her head slightly in the chest of a gentle older sister in a blue dress next to her.
Tu Mi's gaze inadvertently fell on the group of girls. Seeing their behavior, she couldn't help but find it amusing. They were surprisingly good actors. For young masters and ladies of wealthy families, was acting a required course? How come they were all such excellent actors? First it was Young Master Li, and now it's these girls.
However, good acting is good, but in the process of power struggles among aristocratic families, if you don't have a skill to show for yourself, you'll probably be devoured by others. Just like Yue Shuiying at the banquet just now, a person without value won't even receive a glance from others, let alone be saved. Yue Shuiying can only be used as a pawn. How cruel.
It's not that Yue Shuiying has no value; it's just that those aristocratic families neither see nor want to see that Yue Shuiying has any value.
It's unclear what the group of girls in the distance said to the girl in the pink dress, but the girl in the pink dress changed from shy and hesitant to firm and confident. She even clenched her fist in front of her chest, as if cheering herself on.
Tu Mi pretended not to know anything and remained standing in the same spot. Sure enough, less than a minute later, the girl in the pink dress confidently strode over. However, as the distance drew closer, the girl's confident steps gradually became unsteady, and she finally stopped in front of Tu Mi.
