Chapter 21 Banquet Hall

Fourth Star Main Mansion
"Miss Tara, Miss Yu Rong, welcome to the banquet, please come inside." The waiter stood at the door, took their invitations, and politely led Tara and Yu Rong into the banquet hall.

The entire banquet hall is magnificent, and a crystal chandelier is particularly eye-catching.

As the main light source of the entire banquet hall, its light is bright yet soft, making the fire of the diamond necklace on Tara's neck shine even brighter.

Yu Rong had been to this banquet hall several times before, but now it felt completely different.

The entire banquet hall, from curtains to tablecloths, chandeliers to tableware, was replaced with new ones.

Although the things are new, the overall decoration taste is not as good as before. The grand banquet hall of the Star Lord's Mansion, the interior decoration is like the living room of a nouveau riche.

The decorations are of different styles, and all the expensive antiques, calligraphy and paintings are displayed, looking nondescript.

The entire banquet hall is decorated with strange colors. Although it looks rich, it still feels gaudy.

In particular, the valuable antique wall clock was hung abruptly on the wall, which was incompatible with the highly saturated colors of the banquet hall.

Tonight is the celebration dinner for the succession of Lord Morton of the Fourth Affiliated Star. Most of the upper class of the Fourth Affiliated Star are here to attend. Yu Rong came in from the door and didn't go far when he met several acquaintances.

"Tara, Yu Rong, are you here? Thank you for accepting my invitation to attend the dinner." Deborah, the daughter of the new Star Master Morton, saw the smile on her face getting a little bigger.

"Congratulations to Uncle Morton, and congratulations to Deborah, you will be the first daughter of the fourth star in the future." Yu Rong handed the carefully selected souvenir to Deborah.

"Oh, thank you." Deborah skillfully handed the gifts to the waiter beside her, who registered them one by one and then placed them in the room where the gifts were already piled up.

Tara took the first daughter's hand and said affectionately, "From now on, we will be the first daughter's best friend group! If the fourth star implements an imperial system like the second star, now I should call you Princess. "

Deborah covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't say that, I'm embarrassed." Although she said so, her expression didn't show any shyness.

This was a dress she had customized more than half a year in advance, so that she could look stunning at her father's succession celebration dinner.

Yu Rong looked at the various gems embellished on Deborah's skirt and estimated that the value of this dress was probably as good as the antique wall clock on the wall.

As half the host of today's banquet, Deborah was naturally very busy. After a few words of greeting, there were other guests to greet. Tara and Yu Rong also ended the topic with a few witty words. Many acquaintances came today, so they naturally had somewhere to go. .

Fang Xiner noticed the confident, calm and elegant beauty next to Tara early on.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, more than half of the men's eyes were attracted to them. However, they were chatting with the host of the banquet at the moment and had not found a chance to strike up a conversation.

I have never seen him before, and I don’t know which wealthy daughter he is?

Fang Xiner lifted the skirt of her pink dress with her left hand, and held a glass of champagne with her right hand, intending to go over and say hello. Everyone was from the upper class, so it never hurts to get to know one more person.

As she got closer, she felt that the person in front of her looked more and more familiar. After remembering who the person in front of her was, Fang Xiner couldn't help but widen her eyes and raise her tone, "Yu Rong, why is it you?"

This sudden sharp question seemed even more abrupt when the people around him were chatting elegantly in low voices. Many people paused their social activities and looked over here.

Fang Xiner covered half of her face with the folding fan in her hand, and nodded slightly to the left and right, signaling that she was being rude.

When everyone stopped paying attention, Fang Xiner looked proud again, raised her chin and said, "Yu Rong, I didn't expect to meet you here. After so many years, I am finally willing to come back from the main star. "

After four years of not seeing each other, Fang Xiner still talks like a gun and a stick.However, Yu Rong was too lazy to argue with her, it was just a little thought. Since he didn't have that idea, why bother to fight with her, which would only add to the conversation of the people in the banquet hall.

A lot of people had already looked in their direction just now. God knows what they will say tomorrow from the mouths of those upper-class ladies who have been bored all day long.

Yu Rong didn't want to talk to Fang Xiner, but she still had to show off in front of outsiders.She politely replied: "I have graduated, so of course I want to come back."

Fang Xiner swung the champagne in her glass and teased, "So that's it. You were so decisive in leaving and made your uncle so angry. I thought you could stay on the main star and develop in the future. If I had known you would come today, I would have I asked Brother Cheng Hao to bring you with him."

"Cheng Hao is here too?" Yu Rong turned around and looked around, not seeing Cheng Hao in the banquet hall where people were drinking and drinking.

Fang Xiner smiled proudly, "You know, he never likes such occasions where there are many women, so he sent me to the door and left."

In fact, Cheng Hao sent three people over in a car, but Fang Xiner didn't want to mention these insignificant things.I just secretly rejoiced in my heart that Cheng Hao was gone, otherwise the two of them would have bumped into each other.

"Oh, that's it." Yu Rong didn't take it seriously. It would have been better if Cheng Hao didn't come, otherwise he wouldn't be able to say a few words and would have to lecture others with a straight face.

Tara, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it any longer, and stopped and said: "It doesn't matter, it's not too late for you to know now. After the dinner is over, Cheng Hao will pick you two up and go back together."

Fang Xiner was stunned for a moment. Apparently she hadn't considered this when she was showing off just now. She explained in a panic, "On the way here, brother Cheng Hao said that the company has something to do and he may not come to pick me up. It will be a while." Call a car to take Yu Rong back."

"It's no use, you are all going back to Cheng's house, why do you need to make two trips?" Tara had a successful smile on her lips, and she despised Fang Xiner's poor performance.

It has been four years since Yu Rong left the main star.In the absence of the real owner, Fang Xiner often pestered Cheng Hao. There were several times when the two of them went in and out of public places together and said some very misleading things. Anyone with eyes would understand what she was up to.

Yu Rong was too lazy to tangle with Fang Xiner. She wished she could hide far away, let alone meet Cheng Hao. "Don't bother. My car is waiting outside. I can just go back by myself." "That's fine." Fang Xiner saw that Yu Rong was very sensible, so she didn't say any more, so as not to drag brother Cheng Hao into it again and be trapped. Yu Rong was entangled.

Then he looked Yu Rong up and down without giving up, and said in a weird voice: "Tsk tsk, the main star's plastic surgery skills are really good. No wonder I didn't notice it at first glance. You are completely different from when you left four years ago. What if? If I meet you on the street, I wouldn’t dare to recognize you.”

Yu Rong was too lazy to deal with such a brainless person. She didn't come to the banquet just to have a meaningless verbal dispute with Fang Xiner, but since someone was provoking her, she wouldn't swallow her anger.

She smiled gracefully and poked Fang Xiner's sore spot. "Is there any change? I don't feel it.

People say that they are talented in poetry and literature. I have indeed read more books in the past few years on the main star. Maybe you can try it, but temperament cannot be developed in a short time, and it is not as good as yours. Go to a beauty salon and get quick results. "

Fang Xiner, who was born into a scholarly family, was an out-and-out academic scumbag. When she was in elementary school, her class teacher questioned her IQ because she was not good at mathematics.

Although it was later confirmed that there was no problem with her IQ, this incident was spread throughout the aristocratic school by those ignorant classmates, making Fang Xiner the laughing stock of the entire school.

From then on, he became more and more disgusted with studying, his grades got worse and worse, and he became a veritable academic scumbag.She would jump every time she mentioned her grades.

Sure enough, Fang Xiner's chest was heaving with anger. She pointed her index finger at Yu Rong and shook it for a long time. She couldn't say a word, and finally she stomped away in anger.

Watching Fang Xiner walk away, the smile on Tara's face grew bigger and bigger. "You still have a way to cure her. You don't know it yet, right? In the past few years since you were away, Fang Xiner and Cheng Hao have been in and out of each other, acting like the young ladies of the Cheng family.

Cheng Hao is your legitimate fiancé, and Fang Xiner is just a cousin who lives in the Cheng family.Fang Xiner has made it clear that she is protesting with you today. You don't need to be polite when you see her in the future. Now that you are back, you should let Fang Xiner know how powerful the main wife is! "

Yu Rong didn't care about this, "It's all a verbal marriage contract made by parents when they were young. It doesn't count. What kind of age are we in now? Marriage is free. If Cheng Hao and Fang Xiner like each other, I will Happy to see it come to fruition.”

Tara rolled her eyes, "I felt panicked when I saw Fang Xiner's proud face.

But you have indeed changed a lot in the past four years. No wonder Fang Xiner suspected that you had undergone plastic surgery. I didn't dare to admit it when we first met. Your temperament and conversation are very different from four years ago.

When you were in school, you always kept your head down and didn't talk much. It would be more uncomfortable for you to go to a strange place than to kill you. I didn't expect you to come to the banquet today. "

Yu Rong also recalled the time when he was studying on the fourth star, and couldn't help but sigh: "Studying on the main star can really see a lot of the world..."

"You can also meet a lot of good men, right?" Tara teased.

"Ah?" Yu Rong didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to men.

Tara poked Yu Rong's waist with her elbow, as if she was still in high school. "Stop pretending. After all, we have grown up playing together, and I understand very well what you are thinking.

In the past, when Fang Xin'er was so aggressive, you were not as generous as you are now. What else could it be if you didn't have someone else in your heart?
Cheng Hao is one of the few aristocratic young masters who is ambitious and handsome. He can be considered a good husband. Even if Fang Xiner doesn't stare at him, others will probably give him a secret look.

You can let go of such a man. If there is not a better one, what else could it be? "

Yu Rong opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, so she could only snort.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Hao, that sanctimonious guy, still has a good reputation in the upper class circles of the fourth star, and he is still a good husband.That's right, the Cheng family has always had a different face both internally and externally, and playing tricks on every occasion is their specialty.

Seeing Yu Rong's reaction, Tara naturally knew that she had guessed it right. Her expression became more and more excited. She looked at Yu Rong with a gossipy face and lowered her voice and said, "If I can pluck you, the flower of the high mountain, I must pursue you." Be creative in your approach. Is he humorous, talented, or gentle and romantic?”

Without waiting for Yu Rong to answer, she excitedly pulled Yu Rong and continued to ask, "Are the boys from the main star more candid in expressing their love?
Will I draw a big heart for you with footprints in the snow like in the TV series?Or propose to you with a ring hidden in a cake? "

Yu Rong recalled for a moment in her mind that the main star boy was indeed frank and romantic in expressing his love.

Those confession letters tucked into textbooks, communication numbers left on post-it notes, confessions stuck in traffic, and all-pervasive little gifts.

Yu Rong rolled her eyes in her heart and said lightly, "Okay, watch less TV series on a regular basis, and you will develop your love brain. Those clichéd scenes are all in the script. How could anyone do such a stupid thing in reality."

The music in the banquet hall suddenly changed from soothing light music to a solemn symphony, indicating that the real host of the banquet and the new star master Morton was about to arrive.

Everyone tacitly stopped talking and looked in the direction of the stage, waiting for the new Star Master's speech.

Facing the congratulations from everyone, Morton seemed a little reserved. Perhaps he had not yet adapted to his new identity, or perhaps he was deliberately keeping a distance from his former friends because he had gained power.

However, the theme of the banquet is always just a reason. The changing of glasses and cups in the banquet hall is just a superficial appearance. Important matters are discussed in private.

Compared to listening to the boring speech of the new star master, Tara was more interested in exploring Yu Rong's emotional experience.However, after two or three minutes of silence, Tara took advantage of the opportunity when no one was paying attention to pull Yu Rong's skirt, and whispered in her ear while gossiping. "You have been on the main star for four years, so you don't have a boyfriend, right..."

Yu Rong wordlessly pulled back the hem of her skirt, moved half a step to the side, and distanced herself from Tara.She didn't come here today just to chat about gossip. The party had already started, and she didn't know if they were all here...

This obvious avoidance made Tara's spirit of gossip even more burning. She came up again and said magnanimously, "Forget it, let's forget about the past, but... I see that you have been with me recently. Cheng Hao and his brother Cheng Ai are very close. Are you planning to dump your brother and get a younger brother?
Although Cheng Ai is not as good as Cheng Hao, he is better than him because he is young, lively and has high emotional intelligence.It won’t be a loss if you take him in, the little puppy type is also popular nowadays…”

"Okay, okay, don't say any more, I don't have a dog..." Yu Rong covered Tara's mouth, her eyes wandering around the faces of everyone in the banquet hall.
