"What is she wearing? Where is she going dressed like that? Look at all that heavy makeup, oh my..."

"Exactly! Look at the cheongsam she's wearing, how far is the hip slit? Exposing her thighs like that, what kind of behavior is that?"

"Ever since she moved into this military compound, one thing after another has ruined the atmosphere of our military family compound!"

"..."

As Ren Rongzheng passed by, she heard some people whispering behind her. She heard their words, but she wasn't angry at all. Instead, she felt sorry for these women.

They're clearly unhappy with their own lives, wearing rags and looking disheveled every day, but when they see her living a refined life, they start criticizing her. Isn't that just sour grapes?

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Ren Rongzheng walked out of the military family compound with composure and got into the car.

After she got into the car, Li Kui stared at her intently: "Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today."

"Thank you, Xiao Li. It's really kind of you to drive me to the dance today. Even though the military provides special care, you can't be so inconsiderate. I won't let you make this trip for nothing."

As Ren Rongzheng spoke, he took out two yuan from his pocket and handed it to Li Kui. Upon seeing the money, Li Kui hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, this is too much. I came to see you off on the orders of the commander. How can I accept your money?"

“Your superior is your superior, and I am me. If you want to ask your superior to do something, then of course you don’t need to pay me. But I can’t do that. You’d better keep it. If you don’t, I’m getting off the bus and taking a taxi myself.”

Upon hearing this, Li Kui had no choice but to take the money and said with great gratitude, "Thank you so much, sister-in-law."

"I should be thanking you. Don't mention the money I gave to your superior."

"I understand, sister-in-law. You are beautiful inside and out. It is the commander's good fortune to marry you. You two are a perfect match, a match made in heaven."

Hearing Li Kui's words, Ren Rongzheng smiled happily: "You're so sweet-talking, I think you didn't give me enough money."

"I'm not just saying this to flatter you, I'm just telling the truth. Your wife is really beautiful. I've been in the military region for several years now, and I've seen all the military wives who have been here. None of them are as beautiful as you. Your wife is the most beautiful military wife I've ever seen, no, I should say the most beautiful woman."

Ren Rongzheng was amused by Li Kui's words. Who doesn't like to hear nice things?

Without Zhan Beiqin, Li Kui seemed to be able to unleash his true nature, becoming exceptionally talkative. The two chatted and laughed all the way.

"We've arrived, sister-in-law."

After arriving at the Grand Hotel, Li Kui parked the car.

"Sister-in-law, you go inside. I'll wait for you in the car."

"You've really worked hard, Xiao Li. Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long."

"It's alright, my job today is to pick up and drop off my sister-in-law. She's having a great time at the dance."

Li Kui is much more likable than Zhan Beiqin.

Afterwards, Ren Rongzheng walked into the hotel in high heels. Sure enough, the doormen standing at the hotel entrance checked the invitations one by one, and no matter how carefully they checked them, they could not find that the invitations were fake.

After being allowed to enter, Ren Rongzheng went inside and looked around the hotel. Sure enough, no matter what era it was, the poor were desperately poor, while the rich were rolling in money.

After walking a long red carpet, Ren Rongzheng was led into a large hall by hotel staff. Once inside, he was dumbfounded.

She was suddenly transported back to her dream, and this place was exactly the same as the scene in her dream that night.

When she realized this, Ren Rongzheng quickly looked up and saw that it wasn't the kind of large chandelier she had dreamed of. This put her at ease. Could it just be a coincidence?

probably?

Ren Rongzheng looked around at the crowd in the hall. Chu Yue would also be attending the ball today, and she wanted to see if she was there. She walked all over the hall but couldn't find Chu Yue. Perhaps she hadn't arrived yet.

"Rong Xue, this looks like your older sister."

Just then, a woman's voice was heard from the crowd, followed by Ren Rongxue's shrill voice.

"How could that be? Only one invitation was sent to our Ren family." Ren Rongxue said this with great confidence, but her confidence lasted only a few seconds.

When she finally saw that it was Ren Rongzheng, she was both surprised and angry. Looking at her clothes, she realized that she looked really good.

"Sister, what are you doing here?"

Although Ren Rongxue was extremely unhappy, she still had to call her "sister" in front of so many people.

Ren Rongzheng turned around to look at her, and when she saw her clothes, she was startled again. The pale yellow evening dress was exactly the same as the one in her dream.

What's going on? Why have all of today's events appeared in her dreams?

"I'm talking to you, what are you doing here? Who invited you?" Seeing that Ren Rongzheng didn't answer, Ren Rongxue pressed on with more questions.

Ren Rongzheng came to his senses and listened to her tone. Was she questioning him?

"Whoever invited you, that's the same person who invited me. If you can attend a ball, why shouldn't I, as your sister, be qualified to attend?" Ren Rongzheng retorted.

"I don't believe you were invited. Did you go to Dad's office that day and hear that I was coming to the ball, so you insisted on sneaking in and stealing my thunder?"

"Me, stealing your thunder?" Ren Rongzheng found this laughable. "Ren Rongxue, you think too highly of yourself. Or are you just too insecure because you know you can't compare to me in any way?"

"You!" Ren Rongxue was angered by her words, and then said, "Everyone who comes to the ball has an invitation. Where is your invitation? Don't think you can sneak in and get away with it."

"The organizers will be checking the invitations again during the ballroom dance later. If you're caught and kicked out, you'll be disgracing the Ren family. So, if you know what's good for you, you'd better leave now, and I can pretend I didn't see you."

"Why are you so adamant that I didn't have an invitation? If you, the second son of the Ren family, were invited, then I, the eldest daughter of the Ren family, will naturally be invited as well."

"You're talking nonsense. Dad happens to know the organizers, and he got an invitation for me. There's no invitation for you at all!"

Did he accidentally blurt out the truth?

Did Ren Naiyao specifically request this invitation from the organizers? And then go to great lengths to keep it a secret from his eldest daughter, Ren Rongxue?

Ren Naiyao, you're quite the father, so biased and you're not afraid of being struck by lightning.

"Ren Naiyao only gave you one invitation, so the organizer can't give me one? What kind of logic is that? Aside from being Ren Naiyao's daughter, I am also the wife of a high-ranking official."

"You've got to forget about it. The rules of this ball are that they never invite people from the political arena. They wouldn't even invite your man, let alone you. So you must have sneaked in. Get out of here now, or you'll embarrass yourself!"

Upon hearing Ren Rongzheng's words, Ren Rongxue suddenly felt certain that she must have infiltrated the area.

"Miss Ren, is this your sister?" At this moment, another woman dressed in gorgeous clothes came over and asked Ren Rongxue.
