It was not only Yukinoshita Harano whose expression was frozen, but also many people surrounding him.
Most people here dare not say that the smiles they show are genuine smiles. Pretending and acting have even become an important part of their lives, and Yukinoshita Yono is undoubtedly the leader in this aspect. , but it was still easily seen by such a little girl.
just kidding? It's still a casual conversation...
Yukinoshita Yono quickly put away her suspicions, and the smile at the corner of her mouth actually widened a little, "Sister is not faking a smile. My little sister is so cute, of course she will please her."
Nini did not continue to look at Yukinoshita Harano, but turned her head slightly and looked to the other side. There, a little blond girl with a fluffy and huge ponytail was walking this way. The maids along the way saw her. Every now and then he would stop slightly and salute.
Whose child is this? This question comes to many people's minds.
"Aunt Betty." Nini shouted sharply, "There is a young lady here who wants to deceive Nini. Do you want to tell Daddy?"
Yukinoshita Yono's breathing was stagnant.
Are these the children of a big family? Even at this age, she had no way of understanding what the other person was thinking.
"Yunoshita Harano." Beatrice walked over and gave Harano a playful look, "Betty knows that you are quite qualified in this small place, but it is a pity that your narrow family restricts you. Your vision, so don’t try to use your little tricks in front of us again, the consequences will not be so interesting next time.”
Although Yukinoshita Harano only had a smile on her face, anyone could tell that she was definitely not feeling well inside.
Beatrice's words hardly gave her and the Yukinoshita family any face. Just such a statement was enough to mean that the Yukinoshita family had nothing to gain from this trip. The others couldn't help but be a little surprised. No matter it was the Shen family just now. The eldest lady, or Beatrice, whose specific identity is currently unclear, is far from being as simple as her apparent age. How can she be cultivated to achieve this?
"Nini, why are you holding this young lady?" Beatrice asked with a smile on her face.
"Because this young lady doesn't seem to like our house very much." Nini looked up at Yukinoshita Yukino's panicked eyes, "Most people here are very happy to be guests at Nini's house, except This young lady, isn’t it fun at Nini’s house?”
"No, it's not." Yukinoshita Yukino's nervousness and panic were clearly visible on her expression.
Although she was used to being the center of attention, on such an occasion, the looks from many people that even her parents and sister would be afraid of made her feel a sense of oppression that she had never felt before.
Beatrice stopped at a distance where she could look at Yukinoshita Yukino without raising her head. She looked at her with emerald green eyes and suddenly smiled, "It seems that Nini likes you very much. The banquet is almost over. It’s officially started, it’s up to you to take Nini inside.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the music representing the beginning of the banquet was played by the symphony orchestra, and the gorgeous fireworks rushed into the sky in an instant. The door of the banquet ballroom was slowly opened by the twin maids, and the blooming splendor even overwhelmed it for a moment. The lights and fireworks outside.
"Yukino, hurry up and follow me!"
Mrs. Yukinoshita took advantage of everyone's attention and whispered something in Yukinoshita Yukino's ear, and then pushed her gently. Only then did Yukinoshita Yukino realize that her palm had Attracted by the silver-haired angel next to her, everyone around her, including her own sister, cast envious looks.
Like a princess, she held Nini's hand and walked on the soft red carpet first. At the same time, Yukinoshita Yukino's heart was filled with inexplicable emotions.
She has always wanted to surpass her sister, but this seemingly arduous goal seems so weak in front of the magnificence in front of her, as if there is a bigger mountain behind the mountain. It turns out that everything her sister relies on , so insignificant in front of the real world.
When Yukinoshita Yukino, Nini and Beatrice entered the hall, many members who were distinguished guests followed them. British diplomats with foreign faces, stiff expressions, and some who didn't know what to do. Daisuke, a handsome young man with an unusually relaxed expression, an aristocratic lady dressed in luxurious clothes and supporting the old man next to her...
The ballroom inside the house did not allow too many people to enter, because this night was not just a simple banquet. Most of the guests, including Yukinoshita Senator and his wife and Yukinoshita Harano, could only attend the outdoor dance party outside. Enjoy the entire dinner.
Everyone who entered the house said nothing. Apart from curiously looking at the unfamiliar faces around them, more people's eyes were on the noble spiral staircase not far away.
The host of this banquet, Shen Fu, who was dressed in a white formal suit, slowly appeared at the end of the stairs with Emilia in a dark purple skirt on his arm, his eyes shining like obsidian, and his shiny leather shoes stepping on the bright red carpet. Go up, there is a cold smile on the corner of the mouth, it is hard to tell whether it is a welcome or a mockery.
Even Yukinoshita Yukino noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere at this moment.
Most of the people around did not have the false flattery smiles on their faces. Many people just stared at the host who was slowly coming down the spiral staircase with different eyes, either with caution, appreciation, fear, or disapproval. untie.
In any case, Shen Fu finally walked down the stairs and stood in front of everyone.
"No one is absent." Shen Fu's aggressive eyes swept over these distinguished guests one by one, and then stopped on the handsome young man. "No, there is still someone absent. I don't remember that I invited you, young man." The heir to the Mitsui family."
"The person you invited on your invitation is the head of the Mitsui family." The young man named Mitsui responded to Shen Fu with the same aggressive eyes, "But it didn't say whether it was the current head of the Mitsui family or the future one!"
"Very good." Shen Fu's voice had a strange trembling, "I hope you won't regret staying here, then! Let me tell you now, the theme of this banquet -"
A slight change of violin music interrupted the soothing music, and the passionate and even harsh symphony continued to rise as Shen Fu stretched out his hand, until at the climax, Shen Fu clenched his hand.
"Just to announce that the era of my great empire is coming!"
Shen Fu, who came to this country as the head of a wealthy Chinese family, made such a statement in front of the highest level of society, which was extremely coquettish, but was enough to make countless people tremble.
