After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 467 - 362: The Zhuang Siblings Make Their Entrance
Shi Xiuyan’s entry indeed caught the eyes of many, but some people looked away after a few glances.
For some, their gaze lingered on her for quite a while.
These people occasionally glanced at her, then turned to whisper to those next to them, their eyes full of disdain, scorn, or schadenfreude... often carrying a thick sense of mockery.
Judging by their expressions, what they were saying was undoubtedly unpleasant.
Who knows?
After all, the vanity fair is not a place of kindness.
The people here are opportunistic and extremely snobbish.
Some people’s lives are so tumultuous and exciting that they can rival several lifetimes of others.
Some have ascended the mountain, some entered the temple, and some were left alone. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Most friendships among them can only exist between those whose careers, family backgrounds, and wealth match.
Kindness is a rarity.
Of course, if you like playing in this arena, don’t blame those who run fast for being opportunistic; maybe they’re just too busy. Nor blame those who run slow for being powerless; life is half effort, half luck.
After Ning Youguang listened to Jin Jiayi talk about Shi Xiuyan, she didn’t look at her again.
We can’t choose who we meet in life, but we can choose to distance ourselves from them.
Meanwhile, she saw Zhuang Yijing making a stunning entrance in a silver-gray long gown, wearing twelve-centimeter high heels.
A tall, slender figure, with a face of delicate and three-dimensional features.
She wore a finely tailored, simply designed but exquisitely crafted haute couture gown, exuding a beauty akin to a magazine model.
Zhuang Yijing with fiery red lips, walked like the wind, carrying an impressive aura.
Not to mention, she was followed by the Zhuang family’s twin siblings, who were already good-looking and now even more dazzling with their meticulous makeup.
The entry of such a dazzling trio nearly instantly drew the gaze of many present.
Seeing Ning Youguang also watching the Zhuang family trio.
Jin Jiayi leaned in to introduce them to her, "Those are the three juniors of the Zhuang family from Kaicheng Group. The one walking in front is the eldest, adopted by Kaicheng Group’s owner, Zhuang Kaicheng. The twin siblings following behind are Zhuang Kaicheng and his wife’s biological children."
Ning Youguang curved her lips into a smile, "Oh."
Seeing her smile, Jin Jiayi thought she was interested in the Zhuang family trio, so she continued enthusiastically, "Kaicheng Group is in the business of building material wholesale and real estate. In recent years, they’ve had some good luck and their business is doing well, which is why they put some effort into joining our circle. But after all, coming from a small place, their family still can’t quite keep up with us in some aspects."
By the end, Jin Jiayi’s words revealed a bit of disdain for the Zhuang family.
Ning Youguang’s expression remained unchanged.
After all, Jin Jiayi’s attitude toward such nouveau riche families as the Zhuang’s is all too common in the vanity fair.
This is a common disease among many privileged noblewomen — arrogance.
She continued to smile quietly, watching Zhuang Yijing as she brought along the adorable Zhuang twins, responding and greeting people she met on the way.
...
Over at the Zhuang family siblings.
After Zhuang Yijing brought the siblings into the scene, people kept approaching her to chat and greet.
As the second-in-command of Kaicheng Group, she was long accustomed to such false and polite social interactions, but the twins following her were growing impatient.
"Sis, do you know where the Fairy is sitting?" The sister, Zhuang Siqi, sped up her pace to catch up just behind Zhuang Yijing, giving her a poke in the waist.
Zhuang Yijing was naturally ticklish, and what’s more, Zhuang Siqi just had to poke the sensitive part of her bare back.
Her body reflexively dodged.
In doing so, she accidentally bumped into a passing server holding a wine glass.
"Bang"—
"Crash"—
The server’s hand tilted, and the tray of empty wine glasses in his hand instantly shattered on the floor.
Tiny shards of glass scattered across the natural marble floor, startling the once composed guests around, the men managed as their clothes were thicker and they steadier, but the ladies in their thin gowns turned pale and quickly stepped aside.
They were terrified of being injured by the splattered shards.
Witnessing such a scene, naturally, those present began whispering and gossiping among themselves.
Jin Jiayi, with a look of disdain, whispered to Ning Youguang, "A nouveau riche obstacle indeed, lacking culture and manners. In this venue, those Zhuang siblings act just as they do at home, fooling around..."
"It was an accident," Ning Youguang responded lightly.
"Even accidentally, one should be more careful in such settings," Jin Jiayi continued.
...
Over there, after regaining her balance with the help of her brother Zhuang Jianxian, Zhuang Yijing glared at her sister with a slightly angry face, "If you’re going to talk, can you stop poking my waist?"
"Sorry," Zhuang Siqi apologized with a grin, "It’s just that you’re always talking with people without taking us to meet the Fairy right away."
Zhuang Yijing sighed, "Why rush? She’s here, you’ll see her soon enough."
"I’m too impatient, and you’re dragging your feet," Zhuang Siqi pouted, "You know I’ve been dying to meet the Fairy Sister, and now here you are wasting time."
Zhuang Yijing felt a million words of reproach boiling for her sister, whose brain freezes when she meets someone beautiful, compelling her to chase after them like a fool.
Fortunately, this time the object of her sister’s obsession was also someone she wanted to see.
Therefore, she no longer cared about those coming to chat, leading Zhuang Siqi and Zhuang Jianxian straight to the front row of the event venue.
...
Today’s charity event was organized by the eldest Mrs. Xie Haitang of the Xia family, hosted at her private gallery — "Four Seasons Art Gallery."
The Four Seasons Art Gallery has been around for nearly a century in Jincheng, often hosting public welfare exhibitions and art events.
Therefore, it has a good reputation and popularity in Jincheng.
This is what ordinary people know.
However, those familiar with the owner behind the Four Seasons Art Gallery, Xie Haitang, a luminary in Jincheng’s elite circle, know much more.
The "Four Seasons Art Gallery" was inherited by Xia family’s eldest Mrs. Xie Haitang from the family business, its founder being her grandmother.
Xie Haitang’s status in the Jincheng elite circle is undoubtedly outstanding, whether it’s her family, the Xie family, her in-laws, the Xia family, or the various in-law connections tied to these two families, it’s said to have woven a vast network of relationships in the aristocratic circle of Jincheng.
Thus, the annual year-end charity event held by the Four Seasons Art Gallery is always a feast eagerly attended and anticipated by the social elites of Jincheng.
As such, today’s scene almost gathered the entire nobility of Jincheng.
