Lena spotted Madam Li talking to a bunch of older ladies. Lena went instead inserted herself into a conversation between some other Madams in a different conversation, but close enough to her ”mouse”.

”Greeting, I am glad to see you all enjoying your evening today.” Lena greeted them.

”Ah.. Miss. Shen. I am sad that I was not able to bid for that necklace tonight. Such a big loss.” Madam Su replied.

”It is alright. The other pieces of jewelry set will be auctioned next week for the launch Shyne's new seasonal jewelry collection.”

Lena made sure she spoke loud enough. And just as she thought, Madam Li ears caught the statement and her eyes lit up.

”Oh, yes you are correct. I did receive an invitation.”

”I received one too! I'll be sure to attend and Shyne always has the best-released jewelry for us older ladies.” Madam Huang spoke.

The group laughed. Shyne is the jewelry brand that the Shen Industry owns. Shyne jewelry mainly focused on extensive and fancy jewelry.

They also restore and conserve much ancient jewelry such as the ”Virtuous Set.”

”Your families have been supporting the Shen business for a long time. Thank you.”

”Your father is lucky to have such an intelligent daughter like you. With you, the Shen Industry will continue to thrive.”

”Thank you.” Lena smiled.

With that, Lena made up a reason to excuse herself from the conversation.

Madam Li smiled and walked in to talk with the ladies. Of course, they were all ecstatic to talk to the high and mighty Madam Li.

”Hello, Madam Li.” Madam Su greeted her.

”Congratulations on winning the Virtuous Necklace, it suits your ring so well too.”

”I am thankful to have a son who loves me.” She smiled approvingly.

”Will you be at the Shyne's seasonal opening for? The Virtuous Earrings and Hairpin that will be auctioned.”

”I did not hear about such auction.” Madam Li replied as if she did not eavesdrop their conversations before.
