Chapter 219 - 219: Might Snatch Your Future Husband (1/2)

An Jiaying was expecting a serene atmosphere when she entered the ballroom. Since the guests are all from the Elite Society, grace and elegance is something one from this particular group must posses.

So, who are these people?

”Am...am I in the right ballroom?” She incisively questioned the butler that escorted her.

The butler's expression gave An Jiuying the impression that he, too, was not sure.

An Jiaying hesitantly entered. She roamed her eyes to look for any familiar faces, in case that she's really in a wrong room.

She had really hoped that it was the case. But then, she caught sight of well known figures.

If the place is like this, how could they know that she have arrived? All of her efforts in looking good would be wasted by—

Wait, are those jewelries they are going crazy about?

”This is mine! I saw it first!”

”Well I grabbed it first!”

”I'll buy it with a higher price!”

”There's no use bargaining, the price is set!”

An Jiaying wanted to gape, but it's unbecoming of a lady of her class.

...well, the same ideology cannot be applied to them it appeared...

Despite the ruckus they're creating, you can still discern their lofty stature. To An Jiaying's judgement, their behavior is more subtle compare to commoners fighting over a 50% off pair of shoes at a thrift store.

An Jiaying sneered in her mind. These fools are making a joke out of themselves. Weren't there any press invited here? Aren't they afraid of being exposed to the society of their graceless behavior?

Walking slowly, she approached an empty table and sat down. At least there were a few who looked out for their reputation.

”If it isn't Eldest Miss An.” An Jiaying glanced at the voice and saw a tall, elderly woman in an elegant, purple cheongsam. The woman give off a fierce yet splendor air that one cannot simply ignore.

Without a doubt, this woman is madam Lan Lizi. The elder man beside her must be her husband, Lan Wu Wei.
