Several crystal chandeliers cast gorgeous light, and all you can see are aristocratic ladies, all with noble postures, smiling and chatting from time to time.
Su Wan was like an isolated island, and two seats around her were deliberately left empty.
But Su Wan didn't care, her eyes wandered over the pastries on the gorgeous long table.
Which one is better to eat
Although Su Wan had no intention of causing trouble and tried her best to make her presence felt, this kind of upper-class social occasion did not mean that others would ignore her.
Everyone around glanced at Su Wan intentionally or unintentionally.
Firstly, because of the beating of Master Keller, the Emperor's son stood up for Su Wan, which made Su Wan famous.
Secondly... because everyone knows that the empty seat on Su Wan's right is the seat of the eldest lady of the Defei family.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be ranked like this, and I don't know who is behind this.
But think about it, as long as Mrs. Ye from the Defei family comes over, it will be a good show, and those who know about it can't help but look forward to it.
…
For some reason, Mrs. Ye from the Defei family has not come yet.
Several girls sitting near Su Wan couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and they began to discuss in twos and threes.
Occasionally, he would look at Su Wan and let out low laughs, his soft voice sounding like silver bells.
Su Wan didn't have time to pay attention to those people. She raised her slender fingers and leisurely lifted the hair beside her ears.
The action of combing hair did not seem affected at all on Su Wan. Instead, it had an innate nobility and a hint of captivating charm.
Several noble girls saw Su Wan enjoying himself and started biting his ears.
"Don't you think that Su Wan is not only good-looking, but also has a good temperament? No wonder the prince likes her."
"You think her sitting posture is quite proper? Do you think that the Emperor gave her some temporary etiquette training?"
"Miss Tia is so pitiful. Today is her home court and she is going to get engaged to the Emperor's son. Why did His Highness slap her in the face like this?"
"I heard that His Highness doesn't like Miss Tia at all. But even if Miss Tia is not good, she is better than this Su, right? Their family backgrounds are comparable!"
"That's right! What's the point of being pretty and elegant? She's just a vase! Why bring her to this kind of occasion?"
"Your Highness is just too doting on this girl. Look at Master Keller of the Durfee family..."
The attitude of these noble ladies in pointing fingers at others was as if Su Wan was a joke, but due to the identities of Diya and Jiang Xuecheng, they could not say more.
The voices of those girls came into Su Wan's ears from time to time, but their voices were so low that Su Wan could not hear them clearly.
Su Wan felt uncomfortable. In fact, she hated the contemptuous or malicious looks from others the most, and she also didn't like others talking about her in front of them.
But Su Wan did not get angry. She just sat quietly in her seat and picked up a piece of mousse cake for herself.
Never mind them, just eat your own food.
Just as Su Wan lowered her head to enjoy the food, she suddenly felt the surroundings suddenly become silent for a moment, followed by a faint restlessness.
"Look, Madam Ye is finally here! I've waited so long for this!"
"The show is finally about to begin!"
Mrs. Ye
What Mrs. Ye
Before Su Wan could react, she felt as if someone was looking at her with gnashing teeth.
That look was so fierce that Su Wan couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.
When Su Wan raised her eyes, she found a woman running towards her in a hurry.
She was a middle-aged lady who looked to be in her forties, with slightly curly black hair. She was wearing a lavender long evening gown. From her slightly protruding belly, it could be seen that she had gained a little weight.
But her skin is well maintained and her makeup is very beautiful.
At this moment, the woman called Madam Ye raised her eyebrows and looked at him with an angry look on her face, as if a storm was brewing in her eyes.
Who is this Mrs. Ye
When did I offend her
Su Wan met Madam Ye's horrifying gaze and felt confused.
"You are that Su Wan—"
Su Wan stood up subconsciously and glanced at the faces of the people around him inconspicuously.
Seeing those people gloating over other's misfortune and looking forward to a good show, Su Wan secretly thought to himself that it was terrible.
But she made people unable to remember any entanglement between her and Mrs. Ye, and they didn't know whether they had offended her.
But it was obvious that the other party had ill intentions.
Su Wan frowned and looked at Madam Ye warily. There was just the right amount of distance in her voice. Although it was not respectful, it was at least polite.
"My name is Su Wan. May I ask who this lady is—"
Before Su Wan finished her words, she saw the other party gritting his teeth and scolding her.
"You shameless vixen, you just hooked up with the Emperor's son. You're just a slut who can be slept with if you have money. How dare you hurt our Keller? You are so shameless!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Ye jumped up and down in anger, her beautiful eyes almost spitting fire with anger.
Keller
Su Wan couldn't bear to listen to Mrs. Ye's dirty words, and when Su Wan heard the name Keller, he didn't feel any sense of familiarity.
It was not until Mrs. Ye said Keller was injured that Su Wan barely remembered who this person was.
It turned out to be the young man who tried to buy her back for his own pleasure in the underground auction house? !
Su Wan felt sick when she thought of the noble young master's face...
Seeing Su Wan still standing aside with a calm look on her face, Mrs. Ye became even more angry and felt that she had no place to vent her anger.
She looked at Su Wan's pretty face, and immediately rushed forward, clamoring to scratch Su Wan's face.
"Fox girl! Isn't it just that you look good? I'm going to beat you up in the face today!"
Madam Ye raised her hand high, wanting to slap Su Wan hard on the face!
It would be best if I could scratch Su Wan’s face!
Whenever she saw Su Wan, she would immediately think of her son who had broken ribs and was recuperating in bed. How pitiful!
Su Wan felt the gust of wind breaking through the air and subconsciously dodged to the side.
However, suddenly, the opponent's hand suddenly froze in mid-air.
Before Su Wan had time to think carefully, she heard a pig-slaughtering scream in her ear, so sharp that it almost pierced her eardrum.
"Master Fiennes, what are you doing! Don't stop me from beating this vixen!"
What a fierce woman...
Su Wan felt like her ears were almost deafened by the noise!
Hearing Mrs. Ye mention Fiennes, Su Wan couldn't help but be stunned.
She originally thought that it was Jiang Xuecheng who came, but when she looked closely, she found that the man who grabbed Mrs. Ye's wrist was not the man she was thinking about.
The other person was tall and slender, with a pair of sparkling blue eyes.
It was undoubtedly Fiennes.
