Chapter 309 - Ready to Battle... (2/2)

A Miao said in surprise, “Is it the dinner event, the day after tomorrow?”

According to the usual practice in Jingcheng City, the New Year’s dinner included almost all the celebrities, stars and many high officials.

“What did the Elder Master say?”

Ouyang Jin looked at her strangely. “Of course, he agreed. What do you mean?”

“Because he told me that you have at least 500 girlfriends.” A Miao laughed and said, “He does not think highly of you!”

Lan Lixiao indeed looked down upon Ouyang Jin, whose background was satisfactory, but his character was really not good. Lan Lixiao did not want his granddaughter to marry such a person.

“A Fu, what kind of husband would you suggest for A Miao?” The Elder Master was basking in the sunshine, in the garden hall. A Fu made a cup of high grade tea, and left it aside for him.

“I think you don’t need to worry. Miss Elder is still young,” A Fu said, with a smile, “she has just returned to Jingcheng City, and only a few people know her. Next year, there will be a lot of people pursuing Miss Elder.”

Lan Lixiao nodded after sipping the tea and said, “Hm, my granddaughter is beautiful and knowledgeable. I will never allow those dishonest rich young masters to lie to her, at that time.”

“Third Lady said the same thing.” A Fu remembered that Lan Qin had praised A Miao for being well-read, once before.

“Very few people can be appreciated by Third Lady.” Lan Lixiao knew his daughter well. Though she was usually indifferent to A Miao, she was not dissatisfied with A Miao.

But the Fourth Young Master…

“Haven’t you heard from that kid yet?”

Uncle Fu naturally knew who he was talking about, but he was somewhat helpless. “No, I can’t get in touch with him.”

“D*mn!” Lan Lixiao patted his chair and said, “Leave him a message. If he doesn’t come back for the New Year, there’s no need to come back later!”

On the day of the dinner, A Miao took a long time to get ready, and then she waited for Ouyang Jin to pick her up. Apart from Lan Lixiao, everyone in the Lan family would be attending the dinner, but they did not set out together.

“You’re the last one?” When Ouyang Jin came, he saw A Miao standing at the door, waiting for him.

“No, Lan Qin has not left yet,” A Miao said in a low voice, “the atmosphere is not right inside. Elder Master seems to be quarrelling with someone on the phone.”

Ouyang Jin raised his eyebrows. “Do you know who that is?”

“I’ll tell you in the car.”

A Miao took his arm and got into the car.

“It seems to be the Fourth Young Master.”

Ouyang Jin waited for her to fasten her seat belt and then started the car. “Listen, if that person comes back, you must be careful.”

“I know, you’ve told me many times.” A Miao looked at him. “I don’t think there is anyone more insidious, in the world, than Yu Sihan.”

Ouyang Jin had never seen the abnormal side of Yu Sihan, but the guy had a lot of secrets.

“Anyway, if there’s anyone else in the Lan family who can see through you, it would be the Fourth Young Master.”

When they arrived at the meeting, Ouyang Jin reminded her. “The relatives of the Lan family will all be here. You don’t need to be afraid, but you should make sure that you are not being used.”

“Are you talking about the Li family?”

Ouyang Jin nodded. “Li Rong will certainly trouble you.”

“Let’s go!” A Miao took a deep breath. “There will be a battle.”

Her appearance together with Ouyang Jin, caused quite a stir. Lan Miao was a new person in the upper class, while Ouyang Jin was a stranger to most of the women present, but most of the men already knew who he was.

It was interesting that he should appear with Miss Elder now…

“You stay with me.” A Miao looked around quietly and lowered her voice. “Then nobody will come and talk to me.”

Ouyang Jin smiled and said, “I’m afraid I can’t help to shield you for too long.”

Sure enough, after A Miao just held a glass of juice and stood behind the crowd, several people came swaggering over to her.

“Are you Lan Miao?”

First of all, a woman dressed in a red, low-cut, sexy evening dress, and looked to be the same age as A Miao. But… her chest was much bigger than A Miao’s.

“Yes.” A Miao raised her neck slightly.

She was Miss Elder in the Lan family — Lan Miao. Nobody here could afford to offend her. She had to maintain her standing.

“…” The other party obviously did not expect her to be like this, and for a while did not know what to say.

But the companion who was with her said jealously, “Miss Elder Lan is so confident.”

“Well, that’s inborn,” A Miao smiled and said, “Everyone… is there any problem?”

Except for the leader, no one else dared to say anything. They knew that they could not afford to offend the Lan family.

“No, I just came to greet you!” Li Nian smiled proudly. “Do you know who I am?”

A Miao deliberately looked at her from head to toe, before shaking her head. “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know Miss Second in the Li family!” The woman next to her took the chance to smile, with her mouth covered. “But it’s not your fault. After all, you have only recently been recognized by the Lan family!”

A Miao looked at her lightly. “Yes, so it’s impossible for me to know a person casually.”
