[PART 4] Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten

Chapter 672: Taking One's Undeserved Gain For Granted

"Yun Xi, you always compromise. You've given up so much, and you know they won't be grateful to you."

Yun Xi chuckled lightly and looked at Chen Lixue and Liang Xinyi. The more nonchalant she was, the more fidgety the two of them became.

"Second Aunt, I heard that beginning from this year, the four distinguished families will have the right to hold the Weiya Banquet. And I heard that this breaks tradition. Not only can you bring family members like your fiancée, but you can also bring a girlfriend and female companion over right?"

"Finding female companions is usually something that upper-class young men like to do for the sake of reputation, especially for such important banquets. It's inevitable that young men in every household will bring female companions."

Their second aunt seemed to think deeply, then suddenly snapped her head up. "When you were in the winter camp a few days ago, the Eldest Heir looked for you outside the villa complex. But he didn't enter since you weren't here. It would be such a shame to have you attend the banquet as a waiter. If you really want to go, you can actually look for the Eldest Heir..."

Yao Ying had always felt that it was necessary for Yun Xi to participate in this type of networking events, especially since she will take charge of the Yun family in the future. It would be good for her to meet these people.

"The Eldest Heir might already have a female companion; I don't want to be a bother to someone else. And anyway, there's nothing wrong with being a waiter. You can always look at it as being a social experience.

"I still feel like it would be too aggravating for you..."

"If you really feel like it would be too aggravating for my oldest sister, then let me go! I'm familiar with the etiquette and all the other stuff!"

Yun Chuhan, who hadn't spoken a single word the entire time, had been desperately waiting for the right opportunity to speak up. And now, she couldn't bear to wait any longer. Yun Xi, however, was waiting for her to say something like this.

Yun Xi turned to look at Yun Chuhan. She then looked at her second aunt and gave her a slight nod. "Alright, since you want to go, then you can go! But don't cause any trouble for our family."

"Got it. I definitely won't bring trouble to our family!"

Yun Chuhan bit her lip, and a trace of contempt flashed through across her eyes. Her oldest sister, Yun Xi, was really despicable!

It was basically her offering a job as a waiter. She didn't have to put on such an attitude and make it seem like she was being so charitable. She really put herself on a high pedestal!

Yun Xi nodded in acknowledgement. A few minutes later, Liang Xiuqin and Yun Ziling came down the stairs wearing smug expressions on their faces.

Needless to say, Yun Xi knew that they had taken care of matters with Jiang Henglin.

It was the expected result, so Yun Xi wasn't surprised.

"Older sister, I'm to tell you that Second Young Master Jiang prefers that I accompany him. I just mentioned it casually and he immediately agreed. He also said that he didn't want to go to the banquet with you after all. He was for fear of being told that he had brought a country bumpkin from the countryside there. It would be too embarrassing!"

Yun Ziling is the epitome of the phrase "taking one's undeserved gain for granted". Yun Xi wasn't angry to hear her words. She and only nodded slightly.

"Since Second Young Master Jiang has agreed, then you should get ready! To be a female companion, you must wear a dress!"

Truth be told, Yun Xi didn't didn't want to attend the banquet because of the weather. For the sake of appearances, she would have to wear little clothing and would have to endure the cold. What's more, she would have to put on a graceful smile in front of a large group of people. It would be too tiring.

This, however, was the etiquette among the rich, so it was unavoidable for everyone. If she could avoid it she would!

"Of course, mom and I will go buy a new dress tomorrow!"

"Buy? The dresses for socialite banquets are all custom-made. But since you're in such a rush and barely have any time, I guess it's too late for custom-made dresses. You have no choice but to buy one off the shelf. But this is an important banquet, so you better buy a high-end dress!"

Yun Xi looked at Liang Xiuqin. She knew that Liang Xiuqin didn't have much money.

But this time, for Yun Ziling, she must be willing to spend the money.

What should she do if she doesn't have money? Of course it would be to ask Liang Xinyi for it!

And, she didn't believe that, after she said so much just now, Chen Lixue and Liang Xinyi would be willing to miss this opportunity to rise in the social ranks.
