This is an etiquette rule planned according to European etiquette. Men and women are separated. Gu Xiaoai, Manwen, and Ye Jiani must all sit among a group of ladies.
In the bright banquet hall, the chandelier exudes splendor, the cups and pots are reflected in the shadows, and the cups and glasses are intertwined.
The ladies' and gentlemen's banquet rooms are not together. The place full of ladies is full of quarrels, gathering in twos and threes and talking.
"Xiao Ai, come with me."
Manwen took Gu Xiaoai's hand and walked over to introduce some important people to her. Most of them were noble ladies whose husbands held important positions in the Li family consortium or family.
Manwen didn't even bother to let her interact with the rest.
Gu Xiaoai didn't like it, but still followed Manwen and made friends one by one.
“The third young lady’s breasts are so beautiful and charming.”
"The third young master is a capable man, and the third young master's face is filled with happiness."
"Is this the blue of the deep sea? I've only heard rumors, but I haven't seen it yet. I'm really lucky today."
…
The ladies and ladies were extremely complimentary to her. When someone mentioned the movies she had made, the people next to her quickly dismissed the topic.
That look... as if it was embarrassing for her to be a director in a movie.
People here talk about class, hierarchy, and etiquette. The words "reliable by one's own means" are a shame to the people here.
Therefore, they looked like they were trying to help her and skipped the topic.
Gu Xiaoai remembered that when she first arrived at the Li family manor, she had seen Mr. Li watching her movies. Telling her about it would probably make their jaws drop.
…
"This is your cousin-in-law. My cousin now has a very high position in the consortium." Manwen took her arm to meet people again.
"Hello, I'm Gu Xiaoai."
"We met at Mr. Li's birthday party."
Gu Xiaoai greeted her politely, forgetting how many cousins she had met.
She suddenly felt that it was not easy for Manwen, the eldest young lady in charge of the family, to do this.
…
When she turned around, Gu Xiaoai saw Ye Jiani standing alone in a deep V-neck purple dress.
"Sister Man, I call you cousin."
Gu Xiaoai walked towards Ye Jiani. Manwen couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he saw her behavior, but said nothing.
It is natural for a sister to take care of her sister.
This Ye Jiani looks like a beauty when dressed up, but she actually made the two brothers of the Li family fall out. No matter how beautiful she is, she is just an ignorant woman.
Manwen looked at them and thought to himself.
…
Seeing Gu Xiaoai coming over, Ye Jiani immediately smiled.
After taking his seat, Gu Xiaoai also took Ye Jiani beside him and sat on the somewhat scary-looking main table.
The dishes are arranged from beginning to end and you can't even see the end...
The people at both ends of the long table couldn't hear each other at all.
Ladies and ladies talked about their husbands, jewelry, and entertainment activities.
"The eldest young lady, the third young lady, how about going to our racecourse tomorrow? There are a few new horses at the racecourse, and they are very docile."
"Who is this lady?" Someone saw Ye Jiani sitting at the main table and couldn't help but ask.
"She is my cousin, Ye Jiani." Gu Xiaoai introduced politely.
The woman just smiled politely and turned away.
Everyone knows that the third young lady’s mother-in-law’s family is not from the upper class...
Ye Jiani responded with a polite smile.
…
Gu Xiaoai sat there and listened to their chat, but her mood was inexplicably depressed. She reached out and pressed her eyes, but her right eyelid was still beating.
