Chapter 121: Aunt Ning, Regarding my Homecoming Party…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Because of the incident regarding Jiang Ruoyin’s watch, Wen Xinya’s reputation in the circle went up. Ning Shuqian’s heart was filled with resentment, but as she remembered the arrangements for the homecoming party, she hurriedly arranged for Wen Xinya to meet Lu Xueyi.
Lu Xueyi was thirty-odd years-old this year, looked beautiful and charming, and had a voluptuous and enchanting body. As she took great care of herself, she appeared to be a mature lady in her late twenties.
However, Wen Xinya vaguely felt an aura of sleaziness from her—the same kind on herself in her past life. Hence, it didn’t felt foreign to her.
Upon seeing Wen Xinya, Lu Xueyi went up to her warmly, held her hand, and sized her up. “You must be Xinya! Indeed, a pretty and well-behaved girl.”
Wen Xinya’s eyes revealed adoration and joy, and after a moment of nervousness, did not know how to address her. “Lu… Lu…”
Lu Xueyi and Ning Shuqian exchanged looks. Ning Shuqian said, laughing, “Look at this girl, so excited at meeting her idol that she’s at a loss for words. Greet Aunt Lu!”
Wen Xinya’s tender little face turned red as she excitedly greeted. “Aunt Lu!”
Lu Xueyi laughed happily. “You don’t have to be nervous, I won’t eat you.”
Blushing, Wen Xinya reached into her bag and retrieved a book filled with Lu Xueyi’s advertorials and media clippings. “Aunt Lu, I’ve always loved your shows. Can I have your autograph?”
When she saw such a book from her, Ning Shuqian knew that she genuinely adored Lu Xueyi, and the smile in her eyes intensified. With me around, even if you ask for ten autographs, she’ll have to agree, much less one. She took the book from Wen Xinya’s hands and passed it to Lu Xueyi. “Leave a few more autographs!”
Naturally, Lu Xueyi agreed readily. “Since you’ve spoken, I naturally daren’t oppose.”
The pair unabashedly demonstrated that they were on very good terms simply for Wen Xinya’s eyes, beating around the bush to remind Wen Xinya that Lu Xueyi had agreed to meet her on account of Ning Shuqian.
With a pen in hand, Lu Xueyi left her autographs on the book—she flipped through the pages one by one, and signed on every single page, grumbling to Ning Shuqian, “Bet this will do!”
Smiling, Ning Shuqian received the book and passed it back to Wen Xinya. “Bet you’re satisfied!”
“I’ve heard from your Aunt Ning that you’re going to hold a large-scale homecoming party?”
Wen Xinya nodded. “Yup! On the 28th of June! At the New Century Manor.”
The New Century Manor was a very lavish manor in the middle-ages, inspired by European architecture, and very appropriate to host high-profile parties. The entire hall could accommodate 5,000 guests for a party event.
Lu Xueyi said with a smile, “I heard that this homecoming party is unprecedentedly grand and will invite reputable figures from the political, military, commercial, literary, and media fields—looks like it’s true.”
The New Century Manor was an extremely lavish venue, and not everyone could hold a party there.
Wen Xinya widened her eyes in shock as if she was not expecting the party to be so grand. “This… Grandpa never told me, I’m not so sure!”
