Chapter 31 - Who Is Qin Mufeng?

The banquet started at 7 o’clock, so the guests were expected to arrive at the hotel before that time.

However, the Jiang family, as the host, had to come over early to prepare and receive the guests.

In Shengyue Hotel, in one of its guest rooms, Yuexi had already changed into her dress. As the main star of the night, she had to look her best, so she’d even specially invited a stylist to come over and do her makeup.

In the meantime, Jiang Xun had picked out a small dress that would be suitable for the banquet. She’d bought it with Jiang Chengye’s supplementary card the other day. It was a good thing that she’d predicted that Nianzhen and Yuexi would use such an important occasion to squash her down, which was why she’d bought a few suitable dresses in advance.

It just so happened that she would be wearing them today.

It was just not as grand as Yuexi’s dress, but it was definitely suitable for attending the banquet. It would not be rude to others.

Yuexi, for her part, was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, admiring her unique style of dress. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she was.

As the main character today, she was bound to surpass Jiang Xun ruthlessly.

She would let people know that she was the real daughter of the Jiang family. Even if Jiang Xun was the eldest daughter, there was no way she could present herself properly when compared to her.

“Where’s my sister? has she not changed her clothes yet?” Yuexi pretended to be curious and asked.

She could not wait to see Jiang Xun dressed like a bumbling village woman. Usually, Jiang Xun always wore a t-shirt and jeans and also ran around every day. She had never seen her in a dress before.

Yuexi could already imagine how much Jiang Xun would stick out like a sore thumb.

Moreover, she had been staring at Jiang Xun the whole time and didn’t see her buying any gowns. The only time she’d seen Jiang Xun buying clothes was the day after she came back. After that, she didn’t buy any clothes again.

With all this in mind, she came to the conclusion that Jiang Xun must be wearing things from whatever she’d bought at that time.

Yuexi wasn’t worried at all about how she would look in them.

Nianzhen also urged through the door, “Jiang Xun, have you changed?”

“Yes.”Jiang Xun’s emotionless voice came from behind the door. She didn’t need to see them to know that Nianzhen and her daughter were just waiting to see her embarrass herself.

She pushed the door open and walked out.

Yuexi was stunned when she saw what Jiang Xun was wearing. While she hadn’t picked out a floor-length dress like Yuexi herself had, she was a knee-length dress, which made her look light and comfortable in this hot summer.

The shoulder straps were slightly wide, but were just narrow enough to display Jiang Xun’s exquisite and distinct collarbone, including the slightly protruding bones on her shoulders, which made her shoulders appear even thinner and more delicate.

The waistline of the dress emphasized her slender torso. Her figure was so delicate that it almost seemed as if one could easily hold her wrists in one hand.

However, although Jiang Xun was thin, she didn’t seem weak at all.

Although ordinarily, one would expect a thin girl’s arms to be equally as twig-like, one could see that the flesh on Jiang Xun’s arms was firm. Her arms were similarly thin, but when compared to Jiang Xun’s arms, Yuexi’s own arms appeared rather soft and flabby.

They were both slender, but Jiang Xun was stunning at a glance. When Yuexi stood next to her, Jiang Xun made her look like wallpaper in comparison.

The knee-length skirt exposed Jiang Xun’s legs, which were unusually straight and long, pretty enough to become a model.

One of the reasons why Yuexi had put on a long dress was that it was more grand, but another reason was that she had always felt that her calves were not straight enough.

Jiang Xun was wearing high heels, which made her long calves even longer visually.

Yuexi looked at Jiang Xun with an ugly expression on her face. She’d thought that Jiang Xun wouldn’t be able to shake off her village girl image no matter how she dressed. But now, Jiang Xun didn’t look like a village girl at all!

She hadn’t noticed it until now, but Jiang Xun’s skin was also so much fairer than hers.

At this moment, Jiang Xun looked utterly stunning.

Even Jixuan had to admit that when the two sisters stood side-by-side, it was obvious that Jiang Xun looked superior.

Even though Yuexi was dressed more grandly, she was suppressed by Jiang Xun.

It could only be said that the two of them were dressed in a way suited their respective personalities.

But no matter what, Yuexi would never admit that Jiang Xun was better looking than her.

Her heart was filled with jealousy, and she could only delude herself into thinking that Jiang Xun had just so happened to dress in a way that wasn’t torture on the eyes.

Chengye hadn’t expected Jiang Xun, who was always so rebellious and rude, to look like a real person when she cleaned up properly.

He nodded in satisfaction at Jiang Xun’s outfit. “Not bad.”

As long as Jiang Xun did not open her mouth, she would still be able to deceive people into thinking she was a rich young lady.

Chengye thought of the banquet tonight, and his face darkened as he instructed Jiang Xun, “You are different from Yuexi. You have never interacted with people in our circle since young, and your etiquette and upbringing are not up to standard. It’s easy for people to laugh at you, which will make our family lose face. So, tonight, you will follow your mother...”

Chengye was halfway through his sentence when he saw Jiang Xun glare at him and open her mouth to say something.

The words “Mother” that had not been completely said suddenly stopped. Chengye was afraid that Jiang Xun would say something stupid again, so he quickly changed his words, “Just follow behind Aunt Feng and don’t say anything so that you don’t make a fool of yourself. If anyone talks to you, let Aunt Feng deal with them. Don’t open your mouth so easily.”

He was afraid that Jiang Xun would reveal the truth as soon as she opened her mouth at the banquet, which would be embarrassing for him. As long as she didn’t open her mouth, judging from her appearance and attire, she looked like a young lady from a wealthy family.

Nianzhen despised Chengye in her heart. He’d actually looked at Jiang Xun’s expression and changed his words accordingly. If he didn’t have to, why do such a thing?!

On the surface, Nianzhen put on a serious expression and reminded Jiang Xun, “Even Qin Mufeng will be coming this time. He is someone who stands at the top of the pyramid and hates women approaching him.?Don’t think of using this opportunity to curry favor with him. While many young women have tried their chances, those who’ve tried end up having their reputation damaged.”

“Besides, losing face is a small matter. If you implicate your family and make us lose business opportunities, you won’t be able to bear the responsibility,” Chengye said in a deep voice.

Jiang Xun curled her lips. “Who is Qin Mufeng? Why should I curry favor with him?”

Jiang Xun rolled her eyes at Nianzhen and Chengye. “I’m not a nymphomaniac. If I don’t know someone, why would I curry favor with them? Yuexi’s probably done this kind of thing before, so why aren’t you telling her about this? If I haven’t done it, then don’t put the blame on me!”

“What nonsense are you talking about?!” Yuexi’s face turned red with anger. She stomped her feet. “I’ve never done such a thing!”

“Your mother said it herself. Young women are all trying to curry favor with him. You’re about the right age, too.”Jiang Xun crossed her arms. “You must have done it before, which is why they are so nervous. They are afraid that I will do it too.”
