Chapter 25: Going to Lose Face

There were fewer and fewer young people around her. Han Xiang was retreating step by step as if nothing had happened.

She definitely could not dance. As long as Han Xiang moved, she would be exposed for not being able to dance. When that happened, she might cause trouble again.

Just as she was about to retreat into the crowd, a person suddenly called out to her.

“Miss Han, can I invite you to dance?”

The boy in front of her politely bowed slightly, then stretched out his hand to wait for Han Xiang’s response.

Han Xiang remembered his eyes. wasn’t this the “Mr. Wei” who fought with her for the calligraphy scroll?

“Um… no thanks, I’m not interested in this.” Han Xiang shook her head at him, then wanted to leave quickly.

“Miss Han’s personality is exactly the same as the rumors say. She’s very charming.”

Even though Mr. Wei was rejected, he still continued to chat with Han Xiang.

Han Xiang pretended to smile again and said perfunctorily, “No, I’m leaving first.”

Then, she looked calm on the surface and left in a state of shock. She walked all the way to the small balcony where there was no one, and only then did she catch her breath.

Such high-class entertainment was indeed not suitable for her. Just thinking about it made her feel awkward.

“Miss Han, don’t you like to dance?”

The sudden voice of a man shocked Han Xiang. She turned her head and saw that it was the young chairman of the Gu family, Gu Yuan.

“It’s a little stuffy inside,” Han Xiang explained. Then, she looked around and prepared to leave again.

The feeling of being stared at was really bad.

Gu Yuan held the balcony railing with one hand and a cigar with the other. He kept staring at Han Xiang with an inquisitive look. “I found something very interesting.”

Han Xiang immediately became alert and asked subconsciously, “What is it?”

Gu Yuan laughed a few times and answered, “Miss Han and my brother look a little alike.”

What nonsense was that? Han Xiang felt amused and turned to leave.

“This is the only quiet place. Miss Han, don’t run away,” the man behind her said in a teasing tone.

She would rather stay with this man than go back alone and be embarrassed. So, Han Xiang walked to the other side of the balcony expressionlessly and began to enjoy the scenery.

Fortunately, Gu Yuan did not say anything else. He smoked his cigar quietly and then returned to the banquet hall.

When the music ended, Han Xiang slipped back. At this moment, Han Xiang was discussing something with Gu Yuan and the other people in power, so Han Xiang looked for Wang Meng in the crowd.

When she saw Wang Meng, Wang Meng was chatting with a group of rich daughters. When she saw Han Xiang, she ran over, grabbed Han Xiang’s hand, and led her to the girls.

“This is Han Xiang. She’s very powerful,” Wang Meng introduced her to the daughters.

Han Xiang discovered that there was an old acquaintance among this group of people. It was the original protagonist of the story, Han Xiang’s, sworn enemy at school, her schoolmate, Zhao Han, who liked pink.

These girls were all the little princesses of the richest families in S City. All of them were pampered and spoilt, and they had been taught social skills since they were young. Therefore, even though they were biased against Han Xiang, they still greeted her in a friendly manner on the surface.

Zhao Han, on the other hand, was very awkward. She remained silent and did not speak.

“Do you want to play a little game together?” One of the girls with a round face and exquisite makeup suggested.

Han Xiang remembered this girl. She remembered that her name was Lin Mo, and she was the youngest daughter of Lin Xun, the tycoon of the food and beverage industry. The Lin family and the Han family had a close cooperative relationship, so Lin Mo also intended to befriend Han Xiang and blend in.

Lin Mo and her half-sister’s age difference was a whole generation. Lin Xun’s first daughter came from a different time, and she doted on her little sister very much, giving her whatever she wanted. Lin Mo, who was as tactful and worldly as her father, also became a leader in the circle of rich girls.

After playing a few games with this group of girls, Han Xiang quickly made friends with them. She even arranged to go shopping with Lin Mo, Wang Meng, and the others over the weekend.

Meanwhile, Zhao Han, who was sitting at the edge, was sulking because she had been deliberately ignored. Wang Meng noticed it and asked on purpose, “Ah, Zhao Han, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy?”

The other girls stared at Zhao Han, whose expression was unhappy, and started to discuss in low voices.

It was probably Zhao Han’s first time experiencing the feeling of being ignored and being talked about behind her back. Her expression was extremely awkward. When she saw Han Xiang coming back from the bathroom with a smile on her face, she was so angry that she picked up the glass of red wine on the table and threw it at Han Xiang.

The second Zhao Han picked up the glass, Han Xiang’s suddenly heard the sound of a bell chime in her head and she subconsciously took a step back. Then, she heard the system report: [You have triggered a side mission, “Build a good relationship with Zhao Han..”]
