Yun Xi glanced down at the dress she was wearing. She realized that her dress really wasn’t suited for this kind of occasion.

However, they didn’t know that Mrs. Chen was a nostalgic person.

Even if she appeared in front of her this evening dressed this way, the old woman wouldn’t feel that she was being disrespectful to her.

Second Aunt came out of the dining room. She glanced at the two showy peac.o.c.ks, then looked at Yun Xi on the stairs, clapped her hands together and asked, “Yun Xi, do you have a dress?”

“That box of clothes hasn’t been worn yet, you should be able to pick out a presentable set of clothes.”

Just as Yao Ying was about to tell her to pick out one from the department store, Yun Ziling’s patronizing voice sounded.

“Sister, I have a lot of dresses, do you want me to lend you one? If you go to the auction dressed like this, not only will Second Aunt lose face, but I will also lose face in front of my friends if they find out that you’re my sister or that you came from the countryside.”

Yun Xi chuckled softly, and, resting her hands on the railing, she looked down upon her sister, who was being both contemptuous and charitable.

It wasn’t like Yun Ziling to be so generous.

“Second sister, if you really think that I will embarra.s.s you, then I won’t go. If I don’t go, there won’t be any problem, will there?”

“No! You have to go.”

Almost reflexively, Yun Ziling became anxious as soon as she heard Yun Xi saying she wasn’t going to go.

As soon as the words were spoken, she realized that she had said something she shouldn’t have said and hurriedly changed her words. “I…I mean, if you don’t go, wouldn’t you embarra.s.s Second Aunt even more? The invitation you got came from her.”

“Yes. It would be unfair to Second Aunt if I don’t go.”

Standing above them on the stairs leading down, Yun Xi was able to take in all the subtleties of everyone’s expressions.

Yun Ziling had almost divulged something she shouldn’t have. At that moment, the look on her mother’s face was that of panic and guilt.

Knowing her mother and Yun Ziling, she knew that on this kind of occasion, where high-cla.s.s elites gathered, they wouldn’t allow her to have the chance to show herself, nor would they allow her to embarra.s.s them.
