Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The banquet hall was grandly decorated with self-service food.
Guests filled up the hall and chatted merrily with each other.
The invited guests belonged to the upper class of reputable families. The men were immaculately dressed while the women were gorgeous and elegant.
When they entered the banquet hall, a pair of husband and wife walked toward them and the man waved at Gu Jinchen.
His female partner seemed to be of mixed-blood race. Her deep blue eyes were very beautiful, and when she saw Shen Shuna, she gave her an affectionate hug.
Shen Shuna smiled. “Madam Fei, you seem to be even prettier.”
“No, no. Madam Gu is still prettier.”
Shen Youran rarely participated in such a grand banquet. As she saw the groups of people chatting and drinking with each other, she stood behind Shen Shuna at a loss.
But Shen Shuna and Madam Fei were chatting happily and did not notice her discomfort.
A waiter carried glasses of champagne and walked past them. She took a glass and walked to a corner to sit down. Her indifferent gaze glossed through the groups of people who toasted to each other before her gaze landed on Mr. Fei and Madam Fei, who chatted with Gu Jinchen and Shen Shuna.
Today, Shen Shuna wore a rose-colored gown that covered her chest. Her skin was reddish and fair with a graceful figure.
Gu Jinchen wore a silver-colored suit with a white dress shirt. He had a sophisticated demeanor.
The man was courteous and handsome while the woman was gentle and beautiful. They looked great with each other.
At that moment, she had no choice but to admit that when they stood together, they were really an ideal couple.
Her lips gently curled up in self-deprecation as she lowered her head to look at the wine glass in her hands. She gently twirled it before taking a sip.
Shen Shuna and Madam Fei were chatting before Shen Shuna remembered Shen Youran. She turned back and realized that Shen Youran had disappeared. She scanned through the banquet hall before finding her sitting at a corner.
Shen Yaoting had told her beforehand that she had to take today’s opportunity and bring Shen Youran to meet some people.
She whispered to Gu Jinchen, and Gu Jinchen nodded his head before she excused herself from Mr. Fei and Madam Fei and walked towards Shen Youran.
Shen Youran stared at the champagne in her hand and was in a daze. It was not until Shen Shuna stood before her that she came back to her senses.
She smiled. “Big Sister, why are you here?”
Shen Shuna waved at the waiter and took a glass of champagne after the waiter had walked over with the tray of drinks. “You aren’t familiar with the people in this circle, I will introduce some to you.”
Shen Shuna was Madam Gu and the missy of the Shen family. She attended many types of banquet on a frequent basis. Hence, many people knew her and she attended such banquets with ease.
She brought Shen Youran through the crowd and, with a smile, walked towards two women who were dressed extravagantly. “Madam Chen. Madam An.”
The two madams held glasses of champagne and were chatting with each other. When they saw Shen Shuna, they cheerfully greeted her. “Madam Gu, long time no see.”
In their circle of friends, many envied Shen Shuna. Not only was she from a well-known family, but she was also beautiful and married to a good person.
Her husband was handsome and rich. Moreover, he was the heir of the Gu Corporation while she was a capable businesswoman.
Madam Chen looked at Shen Youran who stood beside her. She seemed to have a strong presence, yet she had not seen her before. Thus, she asked, “Madam Gu, she is…”
Shen Shuna turned her body slightly and pushed Shen Youran towards her. “She is my sister, Shen Youran.”
Then, she introduced them to Shen Youran. “Youran, they are Madam Chen and Madam An.”
She smiled. “Madam Chen and Madam An, hello.”
