Normally, Nansheng Club doesn't hold any parties or anything like that. This place is originally a place for people to cultivate themselves, and there won't be so many bells and whistles.
However, today is a party hosted by Nan Pei, the eldest daughter of the Nan family. It is not in the name of the Nan family, and no invitations have been sent out. However, the Nan family is well-known, and naturally many people come here because of its reputation.
Nan Pei wore a purple silk robe, which was different from the Chinese-style bathrobes worn by others around her. It also had Chinese-style embroidery in the style of living alone, and the pattern of phoenixes wearing peonies looked full of nobility.
Her long hair was tied into a bun at the back of her head and decorated with hairpins of the same color. She was sitting in a pavilion by the pool, overlooking the middle of the lake.
She originally just wanted to hold a party and invited a few friends over, but she didn't expect that so many people would come to support her.
"Miss, what kind of fireworks are you lighting?" the waiter on the side stepped forward and asked.
The fireworks originally planned to be set off were the highlight of the banquet.
Nan Pei glanced at the crowd that started to gather, and lazily clapped his chin, "Let's give it another hour."
"I'm still here moping around. It just so happens that I saw a lot of famous ladies with good temperament and looks. Didn't you reject several models? Why don't you pick the ones you think are acceptable from here and look for them again? ." The assistant walked to Nan Pei and said.
Ordinarily, I would never have the opportunity to see so many people walking around in yukatas. Although these clothes are different from our traditional clothes, aren't they all of the same origin
"What are you thinking? If you just pick someone out there, all of them are worth over 100 million yuan. Who would condescend to do this?" Nan Pei responded lazily.
The assistant was speechless. This was obviously her place, but this master preferred to be put here as if she was forced to do so.
However, she also agreed with Nan Pei's statement that these people always had eyes on the top of their heads, how could they do such a thing.
It's just a good idea to come here and join in the fun.
"Okay, I'm going to greet the guests." Nan Pei stood up boredly.
Mu Nuanxi was surrounded by many friends, as well as Li Mengluo, who was pestering her. When she saw Nan Pei coming from a distance, the smile on her face began to show clearly.
"Sister Nanpei."
Nan Pei walked over and glanced at the girls around him, "I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come tonight."
"How dare I not give face to Sister Pei? My eldest brother and Chenxing are here." Mu Nuanxi said and pointed to the left.
Nan Pei glanced casually and said, "Have fun."
"Miss Nan." Li Mengluo stopped Nan Pei who was about to leave.
She stopped and motioned for Li Mengluo to open his mouth.
"I see there is a piano over there. Did you invite a piano player?"
Nan Pei glanced at the piano placed by the lake and nodded in agreement, "Yes."
As well as the violinist, the assistant has arranged it, and there will be music for everyone in a while.
"Can I give you some advice? My sister just came back from tour. What do you think about asking her to open for you?" Li Mengluo said proudly.
"Luoluo." Mu Nuanxi pulled Li Mengluo's hand, and there was obvious blush on both sides of her cheeks.
Li Mengluo leaned close to Mu Nuanxi's ear and whispered, "I heard that Nan Sheng will be here soon. Sister, you have to work hard and behave well in front of him."
Nan Pei remembered that Mu Nuanxi had heard that she had played piano since she was in elementary school. She studied with famous domestic pianists and had given countless performances, large and small.
"It is a great honor to have the eldest daughter of the Mu family perform, which will naturally add luster to my dinner party."
"Sister Pei has given me the award, but Luoluo exaggerated it."
"Wherever I am, I can just listen to your piano."
Nan Pei glanced sideways and saw the person standing at the table not far away. She stood with her backlit under the lamp. She was dressed in red and particularly eye-catching. She couldn't see clearly with half of the mask on, but the lower half of her face was very delicate.
"What is that?" Nan Pei asked.
Following her line of sight, Mu Nuanxi suddenly realized, "That's my sister."
She answered calmly and generously, and the people around her could hear her clearly. That was the little daughter that the Mu family found. I heard that she seemed to be found from a small town dozens of kilometers away from Ningzhou City.
Having grown up in the mountains, I guess I don’t know the rules.
"Your sister?" Nan Pei looked sideways.
She never liked listening to outside gossip, so naturally she didn't know much about the Mu family's affairs.
"Then why is she wearing a mask?" The girl next to her in a light green yukata asked in confusion.
The person next to her nudged her with his elbow, "You don't even know this. They said that Mu Wenli grew up in the countryside and was dark, ugly, and uneducated. Maybe he was afraid of being embarrassed."
"Dark and ugly?" Nan Pei frowned.
She has been working as a designer for so many years, so naturally she doesn't just look at people by their faces. The half of the girl's face that was exposed didn't look like she was ugly.
"Anyway, she is not as good-looking as my sister. She is pretending to be mysterious and makes people sick." Li Mengluo snorted.
Just now, she heard from Chen Xing that Mu Wenli made Mu Nuanxi cry as soon as she returned to Mu's house. The whole family pampered and protected their baby and she got into trouble as soon as she arrived.
It's no wonder that others don't want to see her if she's so dissatisfied.
"Luoluo, don't talk about Li Li like that." Mu Nuanxi said unhappily.
Nan Pei ignored a few people and went straight in the direction of Wen Li. At this moment, the man wearing a mask was gathering at the dining table to get something.
After all the hard work here, Wen Li didn't even eat a grain of rice, so he was naturally very hungry.
Just as she took a bite of a piece of cake, someone handed her a glass of juice instead of the champagne she had picked up.
The fingers holding the cup were slender, and there was a band-aid on the index finger.
Wen Li followed the hand and saw Nan Pei standing next to him.
"The alcohol content is quite high, so it's not suitable for girls." Nan Pei looked at her and explained.
Qingling's eyes met hers, and there was no trace of desire or inquiry in her eyes. This was the first person among the many people Wen Li met tonight who looked at her without any ill intentions or inquiry.
"My name is Nan Pei." Nan Pei stretched out his hand politely.
"Wen Li."
This is considered acquaintance.
"The clothes you are wearing are nice. I wonder who picked them for you." Nan Pei brought the topic to her red bathrobe.
Wen Li took a sip of juice and looked into the distance, meaningfully, "Of course I want the person who wants me to wear it to pick it out for me."
Nan Pei raised his eyebrows, this Mu Wenli is not stupid either.
"Then why did you..."
"It's just a piece of clothing. What matters is whether it can stand out or not. What matters is whether it can hold it down."
Nan Pei nodded with satisfaction. To be able to say such things, this girl was indeed an extraordinary person.
No matter how beautifully made a piece of clothing is, it is designed for people. If the person wearing it can control it, there will naturally be no criticism.
She clearly knew that Wen Li would attract attention when she appeared on this occasion, and letting her appear in such eye-catching clothes was just to put her in the public opinion.
This kind of thing depends on the person's mentality.
Before Nan Pei could say anything, there was a commotion at the entrance. Looking up, she saw Nan Sheng walking in wearing a dark blue bathrobe.
Her brother finally came over.
Today is the Lunar New Year’s Eve in 2021. It’s New Year’s Eve, and another year has passed. Say goodbye to the old and welcome the new. I wish everyone a happy new year and a happy family.
