Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I just found out that Miss Xie from Xie’s family often visits the grandpa to gain his favor.” Ji Shiting lips twitched. “She was probably the one who urged him to host this dinner.”
Since Xie Siqi could gain his grandpa’s trust, he had to figure out the woman’s real motive.
Qiao Yanze was stunned for a moment but he very quickly saw Xie Siqi.
“It looks like Grandpa left the banquet to her, otherwise she wouldn’t have been there to entertain guests.” Qiao Yanze clicked his tongue. “What’s her motive?”
“Ms. Xie…” Yu Shuhang mumbled. “I remember that she has a fiancé.”
“So what?” Qiao Yanze smiled and looked at Ji Shiting. “It’s because someone’s just so attractive.”
Ji Shiting lips twitched and he said coldly. “Be more alert tonight.”
“Where’s Miss Ye?” Yu Shuhang suddenly asked. “She should be here tonight, right? Are you going to introduce her to Grandpa?”
Ji Shiting smiled and looked around the yard until he saw a familiar face.
His pupils shrank.

Ye Shengge had gotten into the hall with her invitation, and she had gotten a number tag.
She had dressed up a bit since she was attending a banquet after all. She was wearing a long dress, and her long hair was curled up over her shoulders. Coupled with the life-like rose on the right side of her face, she immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
However, most of them were hostile gazes.
Ye Shengge wasn’t used to such hostile stares at herself, so she went to pick up a cocktail and headed to an inconspicuous corner.
However, in the next moment, she saw Mu Yanhuai. He seemed very excited, and was animatedly trying to chat with the big shots present.
Ye Shengge was stunned. This was the first time she had seen that man being so humble.
This man was really shameless to the bone.
Smiling slightly, Ye Shengge looked away.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance.
A young girl in a long dress walked in. She had heavy makeup on, and her long hair was tied up in a bun. She looked elegant, and she walked straight into the middle of the party. The other socialites had to give way.
She seemed to be satisfied with the attention, and she looked up smugly.
Was that… Ye Siyan?
Ye Shengge blinked several times before she recognized her, but why had that damned girl shown up here? Why was she wearing such formal clothes?
Was it because she had received an invitation card?
There was something weird about the banquet tonight… Ye Shengge couldn’t be bothered with the two of them anymore. After all, her goal tonight had nothing to do with them.
At this moment, two socialites were talking.
“What’s your number?”
“13. What about you?”
“22. Sigh, I saw a man with number 22 just now. It looks like I won’t have the chance with Ji Siting tonight.”
“Me too. Xiao Ke and the others have checked the number of the male guests. I heard that only 2, 6 and 9 are still not in use yet. Ji Shiting’s number is one of them.”
“Huh? Did you see Ye Siyan over there? She got number six out of nowhere and from how pleased she looks, Ji Shiting’s definitely number 6. Because she’s been selected internally. The big winner of tonight has already been rigged.
“Enough. Is Ji Shiting’s taste that bad?”
“But… She might really have a chance to dance with Ji Shiting.”
“Tch… It’s just a dance.”
“It’s already a blessing to be able to dance with Ji Shiting. He’s so mysterious and low-key. I’ve never seen him in person.”
“Me too. He rarely ever attended any banquets…”
