Chapter 777: 306 Jiangjing New Circle! New song release! (Second release)_1

Wen Zhixia and Bai Lian had long become the focus of attention at the event, drawing numerous gazes as soon as they appeared.

Between them stood a lady in a champagne-colored cheongsam, draped with a white shawl and holding a black jade fan in her right hand, which she was just folding up, resting it lightly against the base of her thumb, conversing with Wen Zhixia.

Whatever she said caused the woman to open the fan and hide a smile behind it.

Cheongsam, black jade fan.

Her aura of distinction made it clear she was no ordinary person; there were few at the event who recognized her, but there were indeed a handful.

The girl sitting next to Wen Zhiwei stood up in disbelief, her mouth agape, “Zhiwei… that is… Xu, Xu…”

They were all part of Miss Xu’s second daughter’s entourage.

And had naturally met Mrs. Xu, the second wife, through Xu Jinyi.

Wen Zhiwei slammed down her wine glass; she had been in the mood for a drink when Liao Guangxuan arrived and was discussing projects with Lai Chen, but now that she saw Gao Yan, she could not remain seated any longer.

With a “clank,” she stood up.

Not many knew Gao Yan at the event, but there were indeed a few who did.

All set down their wine glasses, quietly watching the direction of the entrance.

Bai Lian exuded an understated and gentle charm, but Gao Yan’s air of nobility was unmistakable, nurtured by a prestigious family; the guests at the banquet hall instinctively split into two rows.

Making way for them.

Bai Lian tapped languidly on her phone, and at this scene, she merely raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Are you returning to Xiangcheng tomorrow?” Gao Yan spoke slowly to Bai Lian, her voice carrying a tinge of reluctance, “Aren’t you spending the New Year in Jiangjing?”

“These days, it’s only during the New Year that I have a chance to visit home,” Bai Lian explained.

Ji Heng had come to Jiangjing for her; from any perspective, Bai Lian would not be spending the New Year in Jiangjing.

At the back of the crowd, Liao Guangxuan also caught sight of Gao Yan.

He was taken aback for a moment, then quickly collected himself, setting down his champagne and moving forward, bowing slightly, “Mrs. Xu, it’s unexpected to encounter you here as well.”

Clearly, Gao Yan was standing closer to Bai Lian.

“Zhiwei is getting engaged today,” Gao Yan greeted Liao Guangxuan politely, while also casting a glance at the Wen Family’s matriarch and Wen’s uncle, “I’ve come uninvited; I hope the elder Mrs. Wen will forgive me.”

She smiled softly.

Her voice was gentle, but at that moment no one nearby dared to speak.

The fact that Liao Guangxuan was respectful enough to address her as “Mrs. Xu” and repeatedly use the word “you.”

Even those who had not seen Gao Yan before seemed to guess who she might be.

The elder Mrs. Wen recovered, hurriedly walking forward with the help of the Wen Family butler, “Mrs. Xu, your presence graces our home; it is an honor for the Wen Family.”

The entire banquet hall fell silent.

For a while, only the voices of the elder Mrs. Wen and a few others speaking with Gao Yan could be heard, as everyone else quietly observed the scene.

After a good while, Liao Guangxuan and a few others accompanied Gao Yan.

It wasn’t until then that Wen’s uncle took a deep breath, turning to ask the Wen Family butler beside him, “Who exactly is Zhixia’s friend? How come I’ve never heard of this person before?”

Liao Guangxuan is one thing, but why has Gao Yan also come?

Although Gao Yan and Liao Guangxuan were there for Wen Zhixia, judging by the way Gao Yan looked at Bai Lian, everyone knew the reason for her visit.

And there was more, wasn’t it said that Mrs. Xu, the second wife, was quite fond of the second Miss Xu?

Miss Xu was friends with Ming Zongyao, yet now Gao Yan was openly attending Wen Zhixia’s engagement party, making it seem that in Gao Yan’s eyes, Miss Xu was not as important as the rumors had suggested…

**

The Wen and Le families’ engagement party hadn’t invited the media or disclosed much publicly.

But with so many people coming and going, there are no secrets in the circles.

The matters concerning Liao Guangxuan and Gao Yan were still leaked.

Information about “Miss Xu,” the second daughter, receiving Gao Yan’s favor stirred up controversy, and rumors surfaced in Jiangjing that Xu Jin, Xu Jinyi, and even Xu Nanjing had become a thing of the past.

A new social stratum was gradually rising in Jiangjing.

The Mu Family.

Mu Yining sat in Tingyu Pavilion, conversing with Ji Shaojun at the dining table, “What time is your flight tomorrow?”

“Six o’clock,” Ji Shaojun replied.

Ji Shaojun hadn’t returned to Xiangcheng in quite a while, and although Mu Yining and the butler would have liked for Ji Shaojun’s family to stay at the Mu residence for Chinese New Year, they didn’t insist.

Not to mention Bai Lian and Ji Heng would definitely not stay in Jiangjing.

“Six o’clock?” The butler was a little surprised; he had flown to Xiangcheng several times, usually landing at Beicheng with the earliest flight at five twenty and then at eight o’clock.

It must be due to the upcoming New Year, with added flights.
