Elena was also at the dinner.
She chose a gorgeous golden dress, which looked like stars twinkling in the night sky. The tiny diamond ornaments dotted her white jade earlobes, highlighting her elegance and nobility.
Unlike other socialites, she did not treat the party as a blind date occasion, holding champagne and looking for men she was interested in to chat up.
She found a sofa to sit on, and sat there, looking down at the bustle in the banquet hall with cold eyes, holding the wine glass between her fingers and shaking it gently.
She is like a noble and elegant queen, or like a proud cat, enough to attract many people's attention.
Dowell, Garcia and others arrived later.
They came in, said hello to the elders they knew, and then prepared to find a corner to play by themselves.
"Let's find a seat and go." Dowell, dressed in a tuxedo, pulled his friend to the side and muttered, "Hurry up, hurry up~ I don't want to be pestered by anyone!"
Garcia and Brown followed automatically.
They found an inconspicuous corner and each took a glass of social wine from the waiter's tray. Dowell looked around and said, "Here is it."
"Okay." Garcia and Brown had no objection.
"Huh~" Dowell leaned against the sofa and exhaled a foul breath, then turned his head to talk to them: "I was just taken by my old man to talk to the Tenth Elder. I was so nervous. The pressure from that person was so great that I didn't even dare to breathe when I stood in front of him."
"That's why I slipped away and didn't dare go over there..." Garcia agreed.
Dowell curled his lips and said, "I told him to take Big Brother over, but the old man insisted on asking me to come along, so what can I do?"
Brown smiled and said, "It means your family still has hope for you." Except for Yingshi who is the heir chosen by the family, all the other second-generation rich kids are just embellishments in the family.
They are qualified to attend the banquet, but are not qualified to be taken by the older generation in the family to make connections, simply because they are not the candidates favored by the family. They only need to eat, drink and have fun.
"Haha." Dowell smiled coldly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He didn't say that his family didn't have high hopes for him, but regarded him as a substitute for his eldest brother.
He turned his head casually to change the embarrassing topic: "By the way, where is Ying Shi? Why don't I see him?"
"There." Garcia, with his blond hair and blue eyes, was particularly recognizable. He clinked glasses with the handsome Brown beside him and motioned for Dowell to look south: "Look toward the five o'clock direction."
Dowell silently counted the five o'clock direction in his mind, turned around and saw a man walking towards Elena with high spirits in the distance.
Who is not part of their small circle
"…" Dowell lost interest in watching, and complained to his two friends beside him: "Does he have to be a lickspittle?"
Garcia and Brown shrugged their shoulders at the same time: "I don't understand, but I respect and wish you all the best."
Dowell: “…”
He turned his head and looked again, and saw Moody, who had not appeared for a long time, also walking in that direction. As expected, the two of them would bump into each other.
Dowell commented sarcastically: "Moody is here too, there will be some fun to watch later!"
"I just don't understand. Elena is pretty good and excellent in every aspect, but everyone knows that she will marry into the Theron family in the future and will be someone else's fiancée. Is it fun for them to fight over it?"
