The lanterns were lit.
Shi Nanqing brought Xia Weiyang to the banquet.
2She then introduced Xia Weiyang to everyone that she knew.
2This banquet was organized by the Xie family. The main purpose of the event was to provide both the influential and ordinary families of B City to get to know each other.
2It was the only event in the city where members of ordinary families can casually mingle with aristocratic individuals.
2Xia Weiyang felt honored as her teacher introduced her to different people.
2"I'm just going to talk to some of my acquaintances. I'll introduce you to new people later. Try to enjoy the banquet by yourself for now." Shi Nanqing patted Xia Weiyang's hand.
2"Got it, teacher. I'll be good."
2Xia Weiyang watched as Shi Nanqing disappeared into the crowd.
2She sized up the banquet hall. The elegant decorations used for the event were expensive enough to feed an entire family for a very long time.
2She then gazed at the people entering the hall. All of them exuded a natural noble aura. It was clear that these people came from aristocratic families.
2Xia Weiyang did not make an attempt to introduce herself to the people at the banquet.
2Instead, she picked up a glass of wine and sat down. However, before she could even take a sip, she heard an exchange of unpleasant words.
2"Why are you giving away your invitation to everyone?" a woman not far from Xia Weiyang loudly said.
2"What's wrong?" another girl softly asked.
2"Oh!" The woman pouted in Xia Weiyang's direction. "A shameless woman!"
2"Who are you talking about?" The girl looked in the direction the woman was pointing at. "Who invited her? I don't know her."
2"You should stay away from that woman. She might steal your boyfriend!" another woman said.
2"Ah! " The girl covered her mouth in surprise and frowned. "Why? Is she..."
2"She is a mistress," the woman suddenly said to the girl. "Three years ago, that woman tricked her sister and slept with her brother-in-law. Then, she got pregnant with another man's child. Do you know what happened next?"
2"What happened?" The girl looked curious.
2"She shamelessly seduced young master Shi Jue!" the woman exclaimed.
2"Really? She seduced him?" The girl widened her eyes in shock.
2"Yes, she did. Fortunately, young master Shi Jue didn't let her trick him. I didn't expect this woman to appear again after disappearing for three years."
2"I heard that young master Shi Jue will come tonight. Tell me, how do you think young master Shi Jue will deal with her?" the woman said while glancing at the other people around her.
2She truly believed that Shi Jue would punish the woman who tried to trick him.
2"I don't know how young master Shi Jue will deal with her. I hope she gets what she deserves!" Another woman sharply glanced at Xia Weiyang.
2Xia Weiyang lowered her head and quietly sipped her wine. She tried to hide the troubled expression on her face.
2Was she that famous?
2There were still people who could recognize her even though she disappeared for three years.
2After learning that Shi Jue might attend the banquet, Xia Weiyang felt even more anxious.
2Suddenly, she heard the sound of high heels tapping on the floor. Then, she felt a gust of wind moving towards her. Instinctively, Xia Weiyang turned her body.
2As she turned, she saw a furious woman standing in front of her. The woman fiercely stared at Xia Weiyang like she wanted to devour her.
