I looked at his face twisted in anger, his voice still gentle.
“Are you people suffering from persecutory delusion?”
"First, his leg was kicked by Luc Muc Da. If you have the courage, you guys should go to the Luc family to demand justice."
“Second, whether they consider me a toy or consider me an ancestor is also my problem.”
“What about the matter involving the Phuong family?”
I sarcastically curled the corners of my lips.
"You poor little fortune of the Phuong family is not even worthy of being in their eyes. Stop painting your faces with gold."
"You!"
Phuong Chinh Hoa was so angry that his whole body trembled. He pointed at me and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Stubborn and won't change! No shame!"
He sat down heavily on the sofa, opening his mouth and panting.
“Okay, if you don't listen to my advice, just go find your own death!”
“But I warn you.”
Phuong Chinh Hoa looked at me with gloomy eyes.
“At the Starlight Gala early next month, the Phuong family spent all their effort to get an invitation for the outside area.”
“That day, if you dare to use this method of using your power to bring shame to the scene, I will absolutely not forgive you!”
The Starlight Gala is an annual event of the city's top aristocracy. The party was personally organized by the richest billionaire Thoi Canh Tham, who is always mysterious and difficult to meet. It is said that this year's gala also has an important event, that is, Thoi Canh Tham will officially announce his status as the sole heir at the party. In order to make a little impression that day, the entire Phuong family fell into an almost frantic state of preparation. For half a month continuously, almost every day high-end fashion designers from big brands came to Phuong's villa.
"How about this dark blue outfit? Nhu Nhu's skin is white, wearing this color is enough to overwhelm the entire hall."
Chau Uyen is holding a thick album, constantly confirming details with the designer. Phuong Nhu wore a gorgeous strapless evening gown, standing in front of a giant dressing mirror. His face was full of red, as if he was about to fly to a high branch.
“Mom, this outfit is beautiful, but isn't it a bit too prominent?”
Phuong Nhu pretended to be shy and turned around.
"I heard that all the famous people in Kinh City will come that day. I'm afraid I'll take all the attention."
“How is that possible?”
Chau Uyen looked at her lovingly.
"You are the pride of the Phuong family. You are also a famous figure in Thanh Dieu. In such a case, you should be the most prominent person."
“If you can just make friends with some really big people that night, the future path of our Phuong family will be easier.”
I sat on the second floor terrace, drinking cold brew coffee specially provided by the Thoi family, quietly watching the antics in the living room downstairs. These past few days, Phuong Chinh Hoa has become more and more excited to the point of not sleeping well. He ran everywhere thanks to his connections to learn about the "mysterious heir's" interests, even spending a large amount of money to buy a set of ancient paintings, preparing to make a door knocker brick.
“Yin Yin.”
Phuong Minh Trach walked to the second floor on crutches. Seeing my leisurely appearance, he immediately snorted coldly.
“You're also really comfortable.”
He walked in front of me, looking down from above.
"At the party the day after tomorrow, you stay at home and don't go anywhere."
"Right Even our Phuong family can only sit in the outer circle at that level. If you come and accidentally break a cup, the Phuong family won't be able to compensate."
“Not to mention your so-called young master friends. That day, they definitely had to follow their elders to attend, and had absolutely no time to care about me."
“Don't expect to be like at school, relying on their authority to make you stand out.”
I put down my coffee cup and casually glanced at him.
“Are you done talking yet?”
Phuong Minh Trach choked because of my attitude.
“What attitude do you have? I want good for you!”
He gritted his teeth and said:
“Do you think the rich dinner party is the village's first drinking party? Going there for someone like you who has never seen the world will only make others see you as a joke!”
“I know.”
I closed my eyes and picked up the book on the table again.
“I have no interest in having a cold party in your outside area.”
Phuong Minh Trach thought I was just being stubborn, laughed coldly and then used my crutches to go downstairs. The day before the party. Phuong Nhu specially came to knock on my door. In her hand she held an old evening gown, with a fake smile on her face.
“Sister, I know your heart is definitely not comfortable.”
She placed the dress on my bed.
“This is the dress I wore last year to the school prom. Although you can't go to the Starlight Gala, tomorrow night you can wear it at home to watch the live broadcast."
“That still counts as participation, right?”
I looked at the poor quality evening dress that was clearly ruffled. It's true that he puts the humiliation straight on his forehead.
“My sister is so kind.”
I didn't refuse, just calmly looked at her.
“Hopefully tomorrow night you can smile as beautifully as you do now.”
