This silence continued for several minutes.

It was as if a goddess had escaped from heaven and joined them. It felt so ethereal and extraordinary that if you took your eyes away for a second, the young girl would evaporate into steam.

Ignoring the intense and admiring glances around her, Bai Yulan walked towards the vault.

It had been 15 minutes since the feast had begun. That's why she didn't want to linger here any longer. She headed to the cash register to make the payment. Watching the employee who had put her previous nightgown in a shopping bag at the checkout, Bai Yulan's mind couldn't help but wander to Chu Shingyi, whom she had just seen.

'This man must still be hiding himself. It doesn't seem like it's too long before he rules his international company yet.'

Thinking about the news she had heard about the now 28-year-old Chu Shingyi in her past life, the gears in the young girl's brain started to spin rapidly. Even though she had countless ideas flowing through her mind, one after another, her facial expression on the outside was calm and peaceful.

Before long, the dress she was wearing was adjusted, and she left the store, paying a sum of 900,000 yuan along with her shoes.

She stopped at another place and proceeded directly to the parking lot of the shopping mall without wasting time. While waiting for her, she ignored the driver smoking in the corner and opened the back door of the car and got in the car. When the man in the corner heard the sound of the car door slamming, he guessed that the young lady was coming as he was jumping in place as if he had been struck by lightning, and he rushed to the car.

"Now... we're going back to the mansion, ma'am."

The driver, who was shocked to see the young girl sitting in the back, could not help but examine Bai Yulan in the mirror of the car several times.

Of course, when he felt the sharp and harsh air emitted by the young girl from her eyes that met for a moment, he came to his senses as if a cold bucket of water had been poured on his head and started to drive the car quickly towards the mansion.

At the Bai mansion, the engagement party had begun in all its splendor and elegance. While the dishes looked extremely delicious and luxurious, the drinks that adorned the surroundings were carefully placed to show that they were of high quality and expensive.

Crowds of people lining the backyard of the mansion were scattered around the tables in groups, making the atmosphere livelier with the sounds of laughter as they talked among themselves.

In short, everything was orderly and in accordance with the unwritten rules of high society.

Before long, there was a movement at the entrance to the backyard.

All eyes were fixed on the two of them as a man and woman, the stars of the night, descended the gold leaf stairs of the mansion that led to the garden.

This perfectly matched couple could not help but captivate the audience. Tall and extremely fit, the young man looked extremely handsome with his hair styled back while dressed in a white custom-made suit.

Next to him, the young woman, who looks elegant and extremely gentle with her height of about 169 cm, was dressed in an extremely expensive dress in yellow and warm tones, as if to reinforce her pure temperament. The various adornments she wore in her hair and the jewels that matched her dress were extremely eye-catching, but all of these made her look more elegant instead of overdoing it.

In summary, it was a sight that satisfies the eyes for everyone to look at.

The duo reached the garden with applause and began to greet the people. Classical music was playing in the background, on an unobtrusive soft scale. While some people immersed themselves in the flow of this soul-feeding melody, others preferred to sip their drinks at their tables.

Taking care of the people around them and especially greeting their family friends, the two soon came to the two large tables reserved for the Bai and Chu family.

"Mom, everything seems so extraordinary. Thank you very much for your help."

Her voice, which echoed in soft tones, created a sense of peace, just like her mother. But unlike the Su Fang, which the years had sharpened, the feeling it gave was much more refreshing.

Su Fang's unfailing smile grew wider as she heard those words from her only daughter. She walked over to her daughter, hugged her gently, and answered her with various compliments.

Everyone watching this mother-daughter couple from the side couldn't help but smile. So much so that these smiles grew even louder as Bai Dachong's voice, which was clearly acting as if he was angry as opposed to his happy face, echoed.

"You just hug your mother while your father is standing right here. I guess my shoes have already been thrown on the roof."

Hearing this, Su Meixie froze for a moment and, like a spoiled little girl, rushed into her father's arms with a flirtatious expression on her face. After a series of compliments exchanged with each other, Bai Dochong finally released his daughter with a satisfied expression on his face.

As the banquet progressed rapidly, the conversations between the Chu and Bai family and the smiles that spread around displayed a picture of harmony that made the audience envious. But in the next moment, people's gazes suddenly turned to the entrance of the garden.

Everyone who saw the two figures descending the gold leaf stairs was extremely shocked.
