Hung up the phone, Lin Muyan scanned through the extravagant variety of famous in her wardrobe and chose the simplest white dress. Her car was sent for maintenance, so Lin Muyan thought for a moment and then hailed a taxi. Forty minutes later, she frowned and scanned the QR code to pay the driver via WeChat.
The interior of the mansion is already filled with luxury cars. Brands like taxis, which are considered inferior in the eyes of these wealthy people, are not allowed to enter at all. They are only allowed to park far away near the entrance. It's really a classic example of materialism.
Lin Muyan Looking at the distance still ahead, she felt regretful for wearing high heels. She stood in place, undecided whether to go in or not, when several luxury cars passed by her. They didn't bother to slow down, narrowly brushing past her clothes as they rushed in. The people inside the convertible car were shouting with a sense of pride.
Lin Muyan She looked at them indifferently.
In the past few years, she has been abroad, and her own air of elegance has almost disappeared.
Otherwise, these people, a few years ago, she wouldn't have even paid attention to them.
Lin Muyan sighed to herself and put away her phone. She took a few steps forward and suddenly heard a brake next to her, not as loud as the previous few, as if deliberately waiting for her. Someone called her name, Lin Muyan turned her head and saw a bright orange Mercedes-AMG GT parked a few steps away, the car window rolled down, revealing a smiling face.
Vaguely familiar.
Lin Muyan was still trying to recall who it was when the other person introduced themselves.
"We've met before. I'm Bai Xue, a friend of Cheng Young. Didn't you drive here? Do you want to ride with me? It's quite far inside."
The girl greeted Lin Muyan with a smile and pointed to her own bag, as if reminding her. It was a Chanel handbag. After a moment of daze, Lin Muyan remembered who this person was, and considering how painful it would be to walk, she decisively got into the passenger seat.
The girl is talkative. She had just taken her seat when she was asked, "Did you also receive the invitation from the Cheng Family? This time, the Cheng Family has really spent a lot of money. The people coming are all of high status. Cheng Young is going to make a fortune this birthday. Just the birthday gifts alone would be enough for her to spend for a few years." Just by looking at this car worth over a million, Lin Muyan didn't want to say anything more.
She gave a polite smile and responded with a perfunctory "mm-hmm."
The car didn't drive for long before being directed to another parking spot, allowing Lin Muyan to get out of the car.
After thanking the driver, Lin Muyan quickly walked towards the entrance of the formal birthday banquet.
Wei City Holiday Resort was established two years ago specifically for renting out to the children of wealthy families to host various parties. After all, it's just a place for extravagance. It would be very troublesome to host such events at home, so it is very popular here. In just two years, it has hosted no less than a few hundred events.
It has even evolved into a place for comparing family wealth. After all, without some assets, one cannot afford the services here.
Lin Muyan walked slowly inside. Cheng Young's birthday banquet operates on a membership system, and only those who receive an invitation on their phone can enter. Before she arrived, several people had already been causing a scene at the door because they didn't have an invitation.
After verifying the invitation with the security guard at the door, she smoothly passed through the inspection point, bypassing the group of people who were still arguing. At the moment, she was admiring the Golden decorations hanging in the corridor.
It was evident that this birthday banquet was characterized by luxury, with the entire decorative style fitting the theme. It looked magnificent and must have cost a lot of money.
Before Lin Muyan even entered the lobby, she saw many people queuing at the gift registration counter. Some of them were even older than the birthday person, and they were smiling as they handed money to the registration staff, seemingly hoping to have their gifts presented first.
Without stopping, Lin Muyan walked slowly into the hall under the guidance of the staff. The hall had been renovated to its most luxurious state, with just the crystal chandelier above worth several million, not to mention the gifts piled up in the corners, each likely worth tens of thousands. The entire hall was arranged in the style of an upscale cocktail party, with everyone dressed in luxury, toasting and chatting, the scene was truly extravagant.
Lin Muyan stood out in her pure white attire, as if a colorful world had suddenly given birth to a heretic. The moment she appeared, she immediately drew the attention of those around her, most of whom clearly regarded her with unfriendly glances. Lin Muyan paid no mind, casually finding a corner and fixing her gaze on the dining area.
She looked around and chose a small rose-shaped cake, took a bite. It was smooth and seemed to have handmade fresh chocolate. She was thinking about the opportunity to go to the kitchen and see if she could find a way to the Lin family, when she was suddenly interrupted by a voice.
"Miss Lin?"
"Hehe, so you came after all. I thought you might feel too awkward to come see my master."
Cheng Young was wearing a heavy-duty diamond-studded dress, casually draped with a white fur shawl. The lustrous pearls shimmered especially under the lights, with the pure and innocent milky white shawl, making her look beautiful and charming.
She was followed by several equally well-dressed girls, who stood next to Lin Muyan as if surrounding her. "You look so dowdy, like you're worth less than a hundred. Are you looking down on our sister Cheng?" one of the girls said, raising her eyebrows in disapproval.
Lin Muyan smiled without speaking.
Cheng Young felt a joy in her heart. She was pleased by any words that could belittle the other party, but she didn't show it on her face. She playfully scolded the girl following her, "How can you talk to Miss Lin like that? Miss Lin, don't be angry. My friend is just outspoken. But your outfit really isn't very suitable. How about I have someone take you to change into something else?"
"What's wrong with it?" Lin Muyan pretended not to understand and looked down, "I didn't come dressed all in black, did I? Oh, Miss Cheng, do you prefer me in black? Then I really should change into something black."
Cheng Young I didn't expect her to say that, and my smile froze.
All in black?
Does she think it's a funeral!
She suppressed the annoyance in her heart and said, "It's okay, if Miss Lin likes it, then continue wearing it. White looks good on you too." Lin Muyan's smile became even brighter. "Yes, I also think this outfit suits me well."
"By the way, why didn't I see you bring a gift in?" Seeing Cheng Young looking embarrassed, her other companion quickly changed the subject. Lin Muyan covered her mouth in surprise, "Miss Cheng only said she was inviting me, I thought..." Her eyes quickly scanned Cheng Young and the group of companions behind her, then she lowered her head, revealing her graceful slender neck.
"You didn't bring anything?! How can you be so shameless? Didn't you see when you came in? Even if it's not much, the gifts are all worth thousands. How can you come empty-handed like this?"
The other follower spoke slightly louder, looking at Cheng Young with a hint of flattery, clearly knowing that Cheng Young wanted to embarrass her on purpose.
"I..."
Lin Muyan murmured, her head hanging even lower.
"Today is my birthday, but it's not about receiving gifts. It's most important for everyone to gather together," Cheng Young smiled proudly, still wearing a look of kindness on her face.
With these words, some unknowing people immediately felt that she was considerate and nodded in approval.
Cheng Young smiled even more happily, but with just this little effect, how can I satisfy her?
She gave a sly look to the girl behind her, then said to Lin Muyan: "I heard that Miss Lin is a masterful dancer, and I've always wanted to see for myself. Why don't we pick a day and just go for it? How about dancing today? It just so happens that I've also invited the most famous FK Band."
It was clearly an invitation, but she used an inescapable tone.
Lin Muyan If I refuse now, I will only bring shame upon myself and be seen as ignorant and unable to step down gracefully.
This is clearly Cheng Young forcing her to dance for him, which is nothing but humiliating for her.
Lin Muyan narrowed her eyes and flashed an innocent smile, as if she didn't understand the ways of the world.
"Today is Miss Cheng's birthday, of course I have to listen to the birthday star." She modestly tilted her head, "I have to say in advance, I might not dance very well, Miss Cheng, please don't get angry." Cheng Young naturally nodded with a smile, thinking to herself, the worse she dances, the better.
Lin Muyan had a reserved and nervous look as she walked up to the head of the orchestra and whispered something quietly. The head of the orchestra glanced at her and nodded. Blushing, she looked back at Cheng Young several times before taking a deep breath and walking slowly to the center of the dance floor. Because of her conversation with Cheng Young, a space had already been cleared in the center of the dance floor.
Lin Muyan had a cramped and uneasy expression, while the people over at Cheng Young had already started to grin, ready to see a joke. When almost everyone's gaze was fixed on her, Lin Muyan calmly found a relatively suitable position to stand, and nodded to the members of the orchestra. The music started playing, but it wasn't the classical music she had previously negotiated, but a Samba dance tune that she had never heard before.
Got replaced!
She hadn't even had time to digest this realization when suddenly, the urgent drumbeats scattered like raindrops in the next moment.
Lin Muyan quickly made up her mind, stepped on the drumbeats and jumped a few times, suddenly pulled the chest strap, followed by two beautiful turns, and a long ribbon also flew to the ground.
The originally unremarkable clean white dress suddenly transformed into a strapless top dress with a heart-shaped neckline. Her figure was already excellent, and the simple color made her fair skin appear even more delicate. Compared to her elegance, Cheng Young's expensive dress suddenly seemed quite tacky. Lin Muyan's gaze fell on a girl who quietly walked behind Cheng Young. She had just caught a glimpse of this person whispering to the band, and her originally planned classical dance had now turned into a Samba.
But Samba is a dance for two people, and even if Lin Muyan can temporarily hold the stage alone, it cannot extend the stunning time. She thought for a moment, then smiled and danced towards the nearest boy. She remembered that this person seemed to know a little Cha Cha.
