Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Seeing that the group of people were all looking at her, and thinking about their opinions of her, Wen Shengsheng felt a sense of disgust and turned her back to them.

I'll just pretend I'm blind and didn't see them.

He Yu and his group stopped not because they wanted to deal with Wen Shengsheng, but because...

Wen Shengsheng is so beautiful!

Tonight, she wasn't wearing any haute couture, but rather a flowy, light pink gown.

The strapless design revealed her smooth and fair shoulders.

The layers of the skirt spread out lightly like flower petals, rippling romantically in the air.

The pink was so pale that it looked almost white from a distance, so it didn't appear delicate at all.

In the night breeze, her dress and long hair swayed gently, and Wen Shengsheng seemed to be surrounded by an ethereal mist, like a fairy under the moon, about to fly into the night sky at any moment.

However, at this moment, the Fairy Under the Moon clearly didn't want to pay attention to this group of纨绔 (playboys).

All that remained was a cold, aloof silhouette.

Gong Xiaochen looked at her intently for a moment, said nothing, and left with He Yu and the others.

Although Xu Zhiwei's face still held a gentle expression, her gaze toward Wen Shengsheng had become sharper.

She snorted coldly and followed Su Yun into the Jasmine Mansion.

About ten minutes later, Li Chuan arrived in a hurry, and he came with Ruth.

"Wow, so beautiful!"

Before Li Chuan could say anything, Ruth rushed forward, looking at Wen Shengsheng with surprise.

"Hello, Miss Ruth," Wen Shengsheng greeted politely.

“Just call me Ruth, little fairy.” Ruth winked at her. “Are you feeling better? I was so scared when I saw you faint last time.”

"It's all better now, thank you for your concern. How did the concert go?"

"It went smoothly. We're going to check out the venue this afternoon." Ruth casually linked arms with Wen Shengsheng. "It's really different when a fairy like you is around. Even a Tibetan mastiff like Young Master Gong can be taken down in no time."

Wen Shengsheng: "..."

"Keep your voice down, don't let Young Master Gong hear you." Li Chuan nudged Ruth, his tone both amused and exasperated.

“Miss Ruth is right.” Wen Shengsheng nodded seriously. “Gong Xiaochen is indeed quite a scoundrel!”

"Hahaha~"

The three of them couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then walked together into Jasmine Mansion.

As they walked inside, Li Chuan told the two the identity of the old lady celebrating her birthday today.

The matriarch, Xia Jinxuan, is the head of the Xia family, a long-established and prestigious family in Beijing. Born before the founding of the People's Republic of China, she has seen many ups and downs in her life and is still vigorous at eighty years old.

The Li family and the Xia family were related by ancestry, so according to etiquette, they should come and visit.

The group walked through several courtyards before finally arriving inside the mansion.

Inside the opulent villa, figures moved about. Most of the men wore custom-made high-end suits, while the women wore various evening gowns.

Inside the banquet hall, laughter, melodious music, and conversation mingled together.

Guests moved freely among the tables, enjoying the food and wine.

Ruth had to sing for the old lady in a little while, so she had to say goodbye to the two of them in a hurry.

Li Chuan and Wen Shengsheng ate some food casually at the dining table.

"Sheng Sheng, has that money still not been given to Young Master Gong? He asked about it today." While eating, Li Chuan suddenly asked.

"I haven't had time yet." Wen Shengsheng tightened her grip on the plate.

Two days ago, Ruth transferred the two million, but she hasn't figured out how to give it to Gong Xiaochen yet.

She explained, "I've been on sick leave at home for the past few days and haven't had time to go to the company. After all, it's not a small amount, so I think it would be better to find him in person and give it to him personally."

“Yes, you’re very cautious.” Li Chuan nodded and handed Wen Shengsheng a glass of red wine. “Try it, the red wine tonight is very good.”

"Okay." Wen Shengsheng took out her phone while drinking and sent a message to Gong Xiaochen with a forced smile.

Ruth's money has been transferred. How do I get it to you?

Ruth and Li Chuan are both here tonight, and she has to give the money to Gong Xiaochen before they do.

Otherwise, if Gong Xiaochen suddenly asked them, wouldn't she be exposed?

"Sheng Sheng, Young Master Li, you're here too?"

Li Wanqiu's voice rang out from ahead.

She wore a champagne-colored gown, exuding elegance and poise. Holding a wine glass in one hand and linking arms with Xi Yu in the other, she walked gracefully over.

"Brother Yu, sister-in-law, you're here too."

Wen Shengsheng didn't say anything, but Li Chuan greeted them warmly.

"Is this the dress that Young Master Li bought for Sheng Sheng? It's so beautiful." Li Wanqiu's gaze passed over Li Chuan and landed directly on Wen Sheng Sheng.

“Yes.” Li Chuan nodded and looked at Xi Yu, raising his eyebrows at him. “Sheng Sheng doesn’t come to these kinds of occasions often, so I definitely need to think about preparing a dress for her.”

Xi Yu smiled faintly and remained silent, all eyes turning to Wen Shengsheng.

Didi...

My WeChat notification rang.

Gong Xiaochen: [Bring me to the small garden in the middle of the lake.]

Wen Shengsheng: [Could you please give me my account number? I can't possibly carry a million in cash with me to give you.]

Gong Xiaochen did not reply to her again.

Wen Shengsheng was immediately helpless and could only put down what she was holding, preparing to find someone to ask where the Lakeside Cottage was.

At this time.

The people in the banquet hall gathered around.

Wen Shengsheng glanced to the side and saw a sprightly old lady with white hair slowly walking into the banquet hall with a cane, greeting everyone.

This must be Xia Jinxuan, the matriarch of the Xia family.

Surrounded by the crowd, Wen Shengsheng had no choice but to take a few steps forward.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a waiter carrying a tray of red wine came to Wen Shengsheng's side.

His gaze remained fixed on the tray in his hands, seemingly oblivious to Wen Shengsheng, before he bumped straight into her.

With Wen Shengsheng's instinctive gasp, all six glasses of red wine were spilled solidly over her.

Everyone around, including Old Madam Xia, turned to look at them.

The waiter was terrified and kept apologizing.

Wen Shengsheng was completely dumbfounded. She looked down at her dress and then at the surging crowd around her, her face paling slightly.

This is incredibly embarrassing.

The ethereal pale pink gown was now splattered with a large amount of red wine, glaringly bright red and disheveled.

Xi Yu's gaze instantly sharpened as he swept it over the waiter.

He said to Li Chuan, "Take Sheng Sheng to the bathroom to clean her up first, and I'll try to get her a dress."

"Okay, okay." Li Chuan helped Wen Shengsheng up and was about to leave.

Li Wanqiu suddenly said, "I have a spare dress over there, why don't we let Shengsheng wear it first?"

"No need, no need," Wen Shengsheng quickly waved her hand.

Just kidding, how could she dare wear Li Wanqiu's clothes? She'd be disgusted for the rest of her life.

At this moment, the housekeeper from Jasmine Mansion also came over. She glared at the waiter and then kindly asked Wen Shengsheng if she needed any help.

Having already embarrassed herself so much, Wen Shengsheng dared not trouble them any further and could only apologize repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I'm going to the restroom to wash up now." After saying that, she lowered her head and followed Li Chuan to the restroom.

As soon as she left, the crowd began to whisper among themselves.

Among them were some disdainful voices.

Listening to everyone's discussion.

Xi Yu turned around with a cold face and went out to make a phone call to find a dress.

Li Wanqiu pretended to be drinking, but the gloating look in her eyes was hard to hide.

Because some of the wine spilled inside her dress, Wen Shengsheng needed to go into the restroom to take off the dress in order to clean it up.

She had just taken off half of it when the clattering of high heels sounded behind her.

"What a beautiful dress! It's a shame it's all dirty!"

Xu Zhiwei mocked sarcastically.
