When they lived together, it seemed that Murong Xue's life didn't change a lot except sleeping with Shangguan Mo at night. Originally, Murong Xue thought that he would have sex with her, but he didn't. It was only a pure conversation under the quilt in the real sense!
Did she misunderstand him? It seemed that his fury before was just her illusion...
Early in the morning in the living room...
The telephone rang.
"Hi. Xue. I haven't seen you in recent days. Do you know what day it will be two days later?!!!" Zhang Keren's voice spread from the telephone.
What day? Would it be a festival?!! "Mom, what day is it?!! Are there any festivals recently?!!"
On the other side of the telephone, Zhang Keren was so speechless. She didn't know what this girl was like. She didn't even remember her own birthday. "Two days later, it will be your birthday. Do you forget that the Murong Family will hold a party to celebrate your birthday? I didn't see you recently. You have grown up. I will let you take charge of this party this time. It's time for you to show yourself to others."
Xue had already been 19 years old. She should hold parties more. In terms of the status of the Murong Family, the status of Murong Xue's partner couldn't be low. If she showed her face more and gained a good reputation, it might be much better for her future life.
Birthday!? Murong Xue just remembered. It was time to go home and prepare. She needed to prepare lots of things well ahead of time.
In her last life... In her last life, when she should gain others' respect for the Murong Family at her birthday party, she had done much work with no benefit to herself. She invited Fang Shihua and Xiao Keli. Xiao Keli said that she was not familiar with those people. Therefore, Xiao Keli had been with her the whole night, along with Fang Shihua.
As the host of the party, she should make more connections with everyone. But she had missed the chance because she kept introducing powerful men to Xiao Keli and Fang Shihua. On the contrary, she firstly left a bad impression on the old generations who took part in the party.
"Mom. I know that. I will go home in a little while." After she said that, she hung up.
"What's up?" Shangguan Mo happened to go downstairs and heard her say that she would go home.
"Shangguan Mo, I will go home in a little while. I will sleep at home these days, so I won't come here. Two days later, there will be a party at my home." Murong Xue said.
Party?! Generally speaking, parties held by small families like this were not qualified for him to attend. However, this party was held by the Murong Family. Shouldn't he go to the party to show his face and meet Murong Xue's parents? He thought about it. "What kind of party is it? Do you need me to take part in the party?" Since she was his girlfriend, he should accompany her no matter how small the party was.
Murong Xue felt startled. Please. Did he know who he was? If he attended, it would become a flattery party. "There is no need. It is just a small party. It's inappropriate for you to attend." Murong Xue said honestly. She didn’t dare to ask him to attend the party. Otherwise, there would be news tomorrow.
Shangguan Mo contemplated for a while. It was really inconvenient for him to attend the party. Recently, some powerful old men in the nation were a little fractious. Attending the party might expose his whereabouts. He was not afraid of danger. But he was afraid that Xue might be involved in this storm. He couldn't stay with her or protect her at any time. After he handled things well, he would take her to see his grandfather. "OK. Be careful. Call me if anything happens."
"OK." How could anything serious happen at her own home? Murong Xue smiled.
Two hours later, Murong Xue returned to her home.
In the past, it was her mother who always held parties. But she hadn't taken part in any party. The holder's level of holding a party was the standard of people's judgment of a woman's ability in high society. It was also the basis of entering high society. Not everyone was qualified enough to hold a party. If an inappropriate woman held a party, nobody would take part in the party. It would only become a laughing stock.
As soon as Zhang Keren saw Murong Xue, she pulled her hastily and told her the things that she should pay attention to the party. She also told her in which district she should hold the party. What was more, she should send the invitations to the guests as soon as possible. She told her lots of trivial things.
Murong Xue was very busy. She had never known that holding a party was such a complicated thing. She could acquire lots of knowledge and experience from it. She needed to be familiar with every guest's taboo. She needed to decide lots of things, such as the dessert of the party on that day, the kind of the dishes, and the setting of the hall.
Although Blue Sky Public Relations Company, the most famous PR company, had been invited to hold the party together, lots of things needed Murong Xue's agreement. Therefore, Murong Xue almost didn't stop her footsteps the whole day. Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Keren to manage nothing at all completely. However, she just gave Murong Xue some advice when Murong Xue did something inappropriate. She totally didn't manage anything else.
Even if it was the case, Murong Xue's ability to hold the party surprised Zhang Keren. Originally, she thought that Xue would ask her about every detail. To her surprise, Xue made decisions on lots of things decisively. Also, she had made good decisions. Now she knew that her daughter had grown up.
With the help of Blue Sky Public Relations Company, Murong Xue finally prepared the party well. After Murong Xue had been tired for two days, she used the night to enter the space and have a good rest.
On the third day, it was her birthday party.
Murong Xue got up early in the morning. She asked the driver whose last name was Wang to send her to Lizi Pavilion.
But she saw a girl who was looking at her with cold eyes at the gate. In the beginning, she was confused. Then she remembered that this girl was Yang Feng's cousin, Lin Ziqing.
Lin Ziqing was the daughter of Lin Group in A province. Lin Fuhao, her father, was one of the organizers in A province. Lin Group ran the jade business from generation to generation. The Lin Family had also been invited to tonight's party. Seeing that Lin Ziqing was here, Murong Xue thought that Lin Ziqing might attend the party this night. After Murong Xue thought about it, she still walked ahead to say hello to her. No matter how coldly Lin Ziqing mocked her in a roundabout way, Murong Xue didn't care. She only needed to show her proper manners.
When Lin Ziqing saw Murong Xue was so calm and peaceful, she hated her even more. She took out a golden card and waved it ahead of her deliberately. "Murong Xue, you are the protagonist tonight. Probably, the card that you own is just a silver card. Do you need me to invite you?" Her voice was a little loud so that lots of people looked at them. There was their ignorance of Murong Xue and their calculation of Lin Ziqing's status in their eyes.
When Lin Ziqing said the word "invite", her tone was full of contempt. The reason why she was so sure that Murong Xue didn't have a golden card was that money was not the only factor in getting the VIP cards of Lizi Pavilion. Generally, families like the Murong Family, the Lin Family, and the Zhang Family could only get silver cards. Only big families in the capital could get golden cards. The reason why Lin Ziqing got a golden card was that she flattered her family members in the capital and begged them for a golden card.
She remembered the day her cousin watched a movie with Murong Xue. Her heart was in great pain as if it had been burned by fire.
Again, she thought of her father's words. Her father said that Murong Xue got the nickname of Jade Archer in the stone gambling assembly. Jealousy pervaded her heart as if her heart had been surrounded by demons. Her family had been running the business in the stone gambling industry for generations. But she didn't get such a nickname. Didn't this make people laugh at her and think that the daughter of the Lin Family was so incompetent?
Lizi Pavilion was a first-class beauty salon. Most of the people who entered it to consume were noble ladies and daughters of rich families and some superstars. Lots of female celebrities in the club were on the name list of the invitation to her birthday party tonight. Obviously, Lin Ziqing said in this way to humiliate her.
Murong Xue naturally had seen through her sarcastic meaning. She smiled slightly. Her lips were thin and light. She smiled slowly. "There is no need."
Lin Ziqing looked at her who had been humiliated. She kept smiling secretly in her heart. B*tch! She had been humiliated now. What would she do at tonight's party?!
At this time, one receptionist of Lizi Pavilion walked here. "Miss Murong. Sorry for making you wait so long. The service of the first-class ink card that you ordered has been prepared well. Please follow me. This way, please."
Everybody's expression changed. They could yearn for golden cards because golden cards were available. But they knew in their hearts that they couldn't offend the people who could get ink cards and that they must try their best to flatter them. When did the Murong Family have such a powerful backup? They needed to go home and tell their family members to check the Murong Family's movements as soon as possible.
Lin Ziqing opened her eyes wide in surprise. The ranks of the VIP cards of Lizi Pavilion were: the bronze card, the silver card, the golden card, the white card, and the ink card. Among them, the ink card was the top VIP card in Lizi Pavilion. Ink card users were served by the most highly skilled beauticians. They could use the products of the highest quality. They could enjoy specially-made pure natural products and first-level service, too. Other ranks couldn't enjoy these privileges.
How could that be possible? Lin Ziqing begged others so many times to get a golden card. At this time, she seemed to be a joke. The surrounding whispers made her even more embarrassed. Where did this b*tch get an ink card exactly?!!!
Murong Xue smiled. “I'm sorry. I will go there first.”
She left Lin Ziqing who was still waiting in line in her original place. Golden cards were different from ink cards. People holding golden cards couldn't make an appointment ahead of time. So she could only wait in line. People owning white cards or ink cards could make an appointment ahead of time.
Speaking of that, Murong Xue needed to thank Shangguan Mo. This ink card was given by him. Originally, she didn't want it. However, Shangguan Mo said that his friend gave him the card and that it was useless for him because he was not a woman. He said that she could throw it away if she didn't use it.
She still remembered his look when he looked at the card at that time. He seemed to look at a piece of garbage. She could have it at no cost, so she accepted it. Zhang Keren did get a silver card in Lizi Pavilion. Today Zhang Keren wanted to give her silver card to Murong Xue. But Murong Xue told her mother that she had had a card, so she returned that silver card to her mother.
Murong Xue walked into the top Beauty Salon especially for ink card owners. The luxurious decorations inside were so amazing. The arrangements inside had the luxurious style of the ancient palace. Even the pool for a shower was paved by jades.
After Murong Xue had a shower in a bathtub, which was full of pure natural drops of flowers, she began to enjoy the service of a top masseuse. Then she nurtured her skin, beautified her face, and cared for her hair. She even cut her fingernails. It took four hours to finish all the procedures.
Later, Murong Xue needed to pick a formal dress and accessories. She selected a long white dress, which could show her beautiful back and slender waist. This dress looked so pure, which suited her age. Also, it showed the maturity of a rich and powerful family. She looked extremely beautiful.
In a blink of an eye, it was seven o'clock in the evening. The party would begin very soon. Murong Xue returned home immediately.
Generally, rich and powerful families like them had special gardens for parties. They would not go to hotels to hold a party. Otherwise, they would debase themselves.
The party began. Nobel guests kept coming here to take part in the party. Several big families in A province and famous elites in every field also came here.
Tonight's party was held in a comparatively big manor in the district of the Murong Family. The manor had a Europen royal retro style. Its architectural style was very characteristic. There were also colorful and glaring crystal decorations. This entire manor was so beautiful that people didn't want to return to their homes.
The waiters who wore vests moved freely among noble guests who wore gorgeous clothes.
Inside the manor, three to five guests formed small groups. They talked and laughed.
Famous female celebrities and noble ladies wore gorgeous clothes. These beautiful ladies competed with each other...
At this time, the crystal lights in the hall suddenly became dark. The atmosphere of the hall quieted a lot.
A beam of light shone on the stairs of the second floor. Under the crystal lights, Murong Xue, who dressed up for the party, held Murong Fenghua’s arm and walked together with Zhang Keren. These three people went downstairs at the same time.
At that time, Murong Xue caught everyone's eyes. She wore a long formal dress. She wore a platinum necklace, which was beset with imperial jade and made her skin as white and glaring as white jade. The design of the dress on the waist part properly showed her beautiful and light figure. At this time, she looked so gorgeous that people neglected her slightly immature face.
At this moment, the nobility and grace that Murong Xue showed made people present hold their breath temporarily. Especially, the imperial jade on her necklace made people keep praising the Murong Family's substantial estates.
In the hall, Lin Ziqing looked at Murong Xue who was so glorious ahead of her with fierce eyes. Her fingernails penetrated into her palms. She turned her head to look at Yang Feng who was not far, only to see that he was looking at Murong Xue with an obsession on his face. She hated her even more.
"Murong Xue, wait and see! B*tch! This b*tch keeps seducing men at any moment!"
The Murong Family walked to the white party stage. "Hello, everyone! Welcome to take part in my daughter's birthday party!"
People under the stage applauded loudly to show their respect for them...
"Today, I, Murong Fenghua, formally announce that Murong Xue is the only successor of Murong Group. Tonight. I hope everyone can have a good time."
Murong Xue felt surprised. Wasn't it only a simple birthday party?! Why did her father announce that she was the successor? However, Murong Xue remained calm and peaceful because there were so many guests present. She planned to ask him later.
This news made all the guests present startled. Although everyone knew that Murong Xue was Murong Fenghua's only daughter, and she definitely would inherit his family assets. However, they didn't expect that Murong Fenghua declared his successor so early...
Murong Xue stood in front of the microphone. She had a gorgeous figure. Her steps were so light. "Today, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to take part in my birthday party. First of all, I want to thank my parents for loving and caring for me so much. Of course, I also want to thank my friends who keep supporting me. From now on, I will rely on my own efforts to protect them. I hope everyone can witness my growth in the future..."
Later, thunderous applause broke out. This girl was so young. But her behavior was so generous and appropriate. Her gesture was so graceful. She was beautiful and calm. She knew how to appreciate. It was hard to find such a good girl in high society.
At this time, all the guests under the stage gave Murong Xue very high comments. Especially, those who had seen Murong Xue taking an ink card in Lizi Pavilion today kept praising Murong Xue. They hastily thought about whether there was a man of the appropriate age in their family to marry her in their mind...
