Chapter 1269 - Coming-of-Age Ceremony (1/2)

The night sky was full of stars.

Many n.o.bles had gathered for the coming-of-age ceremony of the little princess of the Zhou family and it was very lively.

The butler arranged the jobs for Cen Xi and Xiaoyou in the evening. Cen Xi was responsible for serving wine on a tray and Xiaoyou was responsible for the buffet’s desserts.

The party was held in the living room on the first floor and in the backyard. In order to celebrate the little princess’s coming of age, the Zhou family had specially invited the Disney team. The cartoon characters that the little princess liked stood at the door to greet the guests and the scene was very luxurious and grand.

At eight o’clock in the evening, all the guests had almost arrived. Cen Xi was also starting to get busy.

The gla.s.ses of wine on the tray were taken by the guests and Cen Xi put replenished her tray again. As she moved through the guests, a sneer sounded. “Isn’t this Beauty Cen from our department? Oh, she’s even wearing a maid’s uniform today. Is she trying to seduce someone again?”

Cen Xi looked back and saw Linda, who was standing not far away, a smile on her face, but there was a mocking look in her eyes. Cen Xi pretended not to hear her and continued to move among the guests.

Linda felt inexplicably relieved when she looked at Cen Xi’s busy and pathetic back.

A cheap vixen would know her status after tonight and would not think of climbing up again!

Cen Xi wore high heels for nearly a day and her feet were aching terribly. But this party was expected to end at midnight. There shouldn’t be too long to go.

Before long, the Zhou family’s little princess came down from the second floor under everyone’s attention. She was wearing a long white dress and under the light, she was exquisite and beautiful.

The moment the Zhou family’s little princess appeared, the guests went forward to greet and congratulate her.

Zhou s.h.i.+yu nodded her head in response. Cousin and Young Master Qiao had not yet arrived and Brother Su Han was also not here yet…

Just when Zhou s.h.i.+yu was craning her neck in antic.i.p.ation, there was a small commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Her cousin, Ji Wei had come, holding the arm of Young Master Qiao.

Ji Wei was wearing a pink strapless long dress and the tailored fabric outlined her attractive figure. The makeup on her face was light but exquisite. She belonged to the type who did not seem to be a beauty at first glance, but was the type that looked pleasing to the eyes. Her skin was delicate, her nose straight and her eyes slightly deep-set. Because of her work, there was a sharpness in her eyes, her temperament was cold and she looked to be difficult to approach at first glance.

Although she had a powerful aura, the man beside her was even more outstanding.

Qiao Yanze wore a black tailored suit, a pocket square of the same dark blue color as his tie was in his breast pocket, with a white s.h.i.+rt and black fitted vest inside.

The facial features under his short hair were handsome and well-defined. A pair of dark slender eyes were deep and attractive as if he was a character out of a comic. He had one hand in his pants pocket, a strong aura of keeping people away exuding from him. He was calm and intimidating.

Cen Xi was busy taking wine for guests and also glanced at the couple at the entrance from the corner of her eye.

Her steps paused slightly.

Was the woman beside Qiao Yanze the one who called him on the day of their business trip?

Cen Xi frowned. Why did Qiao Yanze kiss her when he already had a girlfriend?

Cen Xi pursed her lips tightly, feeling like there was a fish bone stuck on her throat, unable to swallow it or spit it out.

After Qiao Yanze and Ji Wei came in, they went forward to greet Old Mr Zhou and Zhou s.h.i.+yu.

Zhou s.h.i.+yu was close with Ji Wei since she was young and seeing Ji Wei coming, she held Ji Wei’s arm and acted coquettishly.

By the side, Qiao Yanze talked to Old Mr Zhou.

The butler urged Cen Xi to deliver the wine.

Cen Xi was unwilling. It was not like she was the only server in the banquet hall, why did he ask her to go?
