Wen Zhixia: “…How do you have his WeChat?”
“Added in Xiangcheng. They were filming there before. Do you want me to send it to you later?”
“Ah,” Wen Zhixia was startled for a moment, “No need, I just like the characters he and Yan Lu play, especially Yan Lu.”
It was only after Wen Zhixia left that Bai Lian closed the door and quietly picked up her phone.
On the other side of the phone, Jiang Fulai was still standing in the courtyard with a glass roof, his hand nonchalantly in his pocket, quietly waiting for them to finish. His eyelashes were lowered, his voice quite indifferent, “The bar sister from that day?”
Since that time, Wen Zhixia’s only image in Jiang Fulai’s mind was associated with the bar.
Jiang Fulai didn’t comment much about the bar, but as for Wen Zhixia finding two handsome men to pour drinks, Mr. Jiang had some reservations. It was rare for him to be impolite.
From “Miss Wen” to “bar sister.”
Bai Lian: “…”

The following day.
Wen Zhixia got engaged.
Early in the morning, the stylist was preparing Wen Zhixia’s gown.
Wen Zhixia wore a gradient mermaid dress with pearl straps; the tail was embellished with sparkling diamonds.
As the two families were getting engaged, Bai Lian had not seen Le Yuzhang either.
In the morning, in a manor not far from the Wen Family’s.
The large banquet hall was laid with gray carpets, and the stage in the center was covered with fresh flowers. Servers holding trays of drinks shuttled under luxurious crystal lights.
When Bai Lian and Wen Zhixia arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered in groups, murmuring over glasses of wine.
There were also pairs and trios greeting each other with drinks in hand.
In such an event, some people wished to come but didn’t receive an invitation, while others couldn’t be bothered to attend despite having one.
Wen Zhixia, in her pearl-studded fishtail dress and a crystal tiara, wore the bright and dazzling style of a princess.
Bai Lian was dressed in a simple long white gown today, a subdued color. It wasn’t a show-stealing ensemble, but her unique classical temperament did not pale next to Wen Zhixia.
It was not without reason that the Yue Family was interested in Wen Zhixia.
Bai Lian, by Wen Zhixia’s side, soon caught the attention of many.
“Who is that?” By Lai Chen’s side, a returning-student classmate holding a glass of wine set eyes on Bai Lian.
Lai Chen had already learned of Bai Lian’s identity from the Wen Family, and casually said, “According to Zhiwei, she’s Wen Zhixia’s classmate in Beicheng. She came here especially for Wen Zhixia’s engagement party.”
Having come this far for Wen Zhixia’s engagement, he felt he had grasped Bai Lian’s intentions.
“A classmate from Beicheng?” Lai Chen’s classmate looked in Bai Lian’s direction with a keen interest, “Then there’s no need for special greetings.”
Lai Chen and the others laughed and did not pay much attention.

More and more people arrived.
Soon, the Yue Family and Le Yuzhang arrived.
Wen Zhixia’s grandmother and her second uncle from the Wen Family greeted the Yue parents.
Having met Yue parents before, Wen Zhixia introduced Bai Lian to them while standing by her side.
This was the only friend Wen Zhixia introduced to Yue Family.
Mrs. Yue was surprised by Bai Lian’s poise in her evening gown and asked a few questions about her.
“Mrs. Yue, my name is Bai Lian,” Bai Lian introduced herself politely, “I’m from Xiangcheng, and I’m attending university in Jiangjing.”
Some insiders who overheard didn’t give much thought to Bai Lian, considering she was a university student from Jiangjing without specifying which one.
Le Yuzhang, dressed in a sharp suit, stood next to Mr. Yue. As always, his emotions did not show on his face, his gaze faintly resting on Wen Zhixia and Bai Lian.
In the midst of small talk, Wen Zhiwei said to Mrs. Yue with a smile, “Aunt Yue, Jinyi said she couldn’t make it today and asked me to pass along her regards.”
At that statement, many turned their gaze towards Wen Zhixia and Le Yuzhang.
It was well-known among insiders that Ming Zongyao and Le Yuzhang were previously a couple, and Xu Jinyi was Ming Zongyao’s close friend; it would be strange if Miss Xu attended the engagement of Le Yuzhang and Wen Zhixia today.
But it seemed Wen Zhixia’s popularity in the circle wasn’t great.
Everyone looked on with different expressions.
Le Yuzhang and Wen Zhixia were the protagonists of the day, seated in the same area together throughout.
Bai Lian idly swirled a glass of champagne in her hand, though she didn’t drink it.
Wen Zhixia spoke to her, “Bored? You can leave first later. I picked you up early yesterday so you wouldn’t have to stick around till the end with me. Just have a look around, and that’s enough.”
Wen Zhixia would begrudge even an extra second spent at such events.
“It’s okay,” Bai Lian stood by a corner table, her fingertips tapping on the clear wall of her glass.

Wen Zhiwei and a group of second-generation wealthy were seated not far from Wen Zhixia, maintaining a clear separation.
