From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables-Chapter 667 - : 346 Hubbub (Fourth Watch)

Chapter 667: 346 Hubbub (Fourth Watch)

“Wow, what a grand banquet with so many important people. The Zhus are really impressive.”

In an inconspicuous corner, Cao Yue gave the astonished girl beside her a glance.

“It’s not the Zhus who are impressive, but the Zhu family’s young lady who is impressive, you know?”

The little girl nodded vigorously.

“Yes, the Zhu family’s young lady is the most impressive. She’s also your savior, Sister Yueyue.”

The little girl, called Liu Jia, was a new intern at Apple Video. As tonight’s banquet attracted a lot of attention from all walks of life, Cao Yue, the leading actress, was also invited. Before leaving, the editor-in-chief assigned her a task to bring the new intern to gain some experience and each write an article when they returned.

Cao Yue had no choice but to bring her along.

Seeing this inexperienced girl, Cao Yue couldn’t help but smile.

“Do you know how to write the article?”

Liu Jia thought for a moment and said, “How about something like ‘A gathering of famous figures at the Zhu family’s banquet, reshuffling of the Jiangzhou elite?’ Or ‘A single-handed change in Jiangzhou’s elite circle, a history of transformation from a nun to a philanthropist?'”

Cao Yue looked at her seriously. This girl had a strong news sense.

At this moment, Liu Jia pointed to the front, “The birthday star has arrived.”

Bai Weining bounced happily to Qu Feitai: “Brother Qu, long time no see.”

Bai Ziyan patted Qu Feitai on the shoulder with deep meaning: “You better take care of yourself.”

Qu Feitai frowned: “Why are you here?”

“Of course, I have to come for Granny Zhu’s birthday. Ming Jing and I are good friends.” The girl in front of him was wearing a white dress, her hair styled in a princess braid, looking cute, innocent, and beautiful. A deserving top idol of her generation.

Qu Feitai said coldly, “Step back.”

Bai Weining tiptoed, almost leaning on Qu Feitai’s body. Qu Feitai had his back against the wall and had nowhere to retreat.

Bai Weining pouted and obediently took a step back.

“Brother Qu, I knew you would come.” Bai Weining’s eyes curved, and she had a dimple on her cheek as she smiled.

Bai Ziyan rubbed his arm: “So cheesy~”

Qu Feitai had always been popular among girls, and people couldn’t help but feel envious when they saw them around him.

However, Qu Feitai was not looking at her, but toward the golden door deep in the hall.

At this moment, the door slowly opened, and light poured out.

Ming Jing slowly pushed Granny Zhu out from the pools of light.

Countless eyes immediately turned to her figure.

Some people were drinking red wine when their eyes suddenly went wide, spilling wine from the corner of their mouths, oblivious to it.

Some people, who were originally slouching, suddenly stood upright with deep astonishment on their faces.

In this world of fame and fortune, with makeups and masquerades, true intentions were hidden behind smiling masks, and schemes were tucked away within polite exchanges.

So many faces were close at hand, yet their expressions were indiscernible—only coldness and emptiness filled the air.

But when that girl in white entered the light, she was like a dream that had been yearning for years, unable to be fulfilled in the sleepless nights.

There were blue skies, white clouds, endless grasslands, fresh air, and bright sunlight. The endless blue lake with sunlight shining on its surface created countless ripples like twinkling stars in the night sky.

In the dream, there was the call of a childhood mother, the irretrievable memory of youth, the lullaby sung by a grandmother accompanied by the evening breeze, and the ringing of the wind chime on the windowsill.

The purest innocence lay in the loud cry heralding one’s birth.

But as the years went by and the environment, society, and relationships changed, people grew tired of running and became lost in their desires. Slowly, they forgot where they had left that innocent heart.

The girl, immaculate and bathed in dazzling light, seemed almost transparent.

Crystal clear and like glazed glass.

Though beautiful, glazed glass possesses no warmth.

The young girl’s eyebrows resembled blooming lotus flowers, delivering salvation and compassion to all beings.

It was as if having even a hint of desire would be an unforgivable sin.

In the awe of the crowd, people held deep respect, not daring to let their hearts indulge in any wicked thoughts.

Of course, this did not apply to those who were inherently evil.

Qu Feitai stared at that figure in white and murmured, “Who in this world is truly worthy of white clothes…”

While everyone else was looking at Ming Jing, only Bai Weining was staring at Qu Feitai from beginning to end.

Brother Qu, as long as you turn around, you can see me. Why do you insist on gazing at someone whose eyes don’t have you in them?
