Not only were they all 20-year-old girls, but they were also Madam Li’s favorite candidates for her daughter-in-law.

Ye Ying, who was wearing a military uniform, was led into a circle by Madam Li. She was quite good-looking, had learned how to play the piano, and could dance. She had an intellectual and gentle aura. In addition, she was led over by Madam Li. Although the people in the circle didn’t know her identity, Madam Li was polite to her.

Madam Li did not let Ye Ying stay by her side. After introducing her to the daughters of her friends in the circle, she went away.

Although Du Jiayi’s birthday party was held at her own house and they only invited friends, the people who came were all either rich or noble. They brought their children over as well. In the evening, the villa under Li Yuan’s name was very lively.

“It’s good to be young. Look at how they’re all playing. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If it were us, we wouldn’t be able to dance much. Our limbs would ache everywhere. We wouldn’t be able to get out of bed the next day.”

“They’re in the midst of their good times. They even have a place to play, unlike back in our time. Who would’ve dared to play around? That wouldn’t have happened.”

“That’s right. At that time, there was no fun and no food. Madam Li was still alright. She was born with a golden spoon in her mouth and was a true daughter of a prestigious family. Come, Madam Li, let me give you a toast.”

A lady who was good at talking and usually played mahjong with Madam Li held a tall crystal glass filled with red wine and toasted first.

After she made the first move, the other madams followed suit.

When Du Jiayi appeared, the audience applauded. Ye Ying listened to the applause and looked at the crowd. Du Jiayi’s legs appeared from the thick, snow-white gown. It was as if she was stepping on clouds. She looked so delicate.

The crystal lamp was too bright. It shone on the crystal crown that Du Jiayi was wearing. Ye Ying’s gaze landed on the crown, and her vision blurred.

This life of being a princess and surrounded by stars was the life she wanted.

It was so wonderful that she wished she could have it now!

There was no need to be anxious. She was already walking on the right path. As long as she coaxed Madam Li, such a life would definitely become her life.

“The young lady behind Jiayi is named Ye Ying. After returning from studying abroad in France, she was specially recruited into the capital city’s political regiment. Although she’s young, she’s very obedient. I like her personality very much.”

During the afternoon banquet, Ye Ying was very good at interacting with people and handling matters. When she met two people who were deliberately making things difficult for her, she retorted with her own ability without batting an eyelid. This ensured that no parties lost their face tonight. Madam Li observed her for the entire afternoon and was even more satisfied.

Only then did she officially introduce Ye Ying to her friends.

With her special introduction, Ye Ying’s name gradually spread. Before the banquet ended, everyone knew that Madam Li liked a girl called Ye Ying from the Southern Province.

Du Jiayi was happy in the beginning, but as time passed, the haze in her eyes grew. Fortunately, she knew how to hide her unhappiness.

The person she was thinking about did not come. To think that she had prepared early!

Ye Ying, who had a few new phone numbers on her phone, was very happy. She didn’t steal Du Jiayi’s limelight and stayed by Madam Li’s side obediently. When Madam Li asked her something, she would answer generously and gently. The smile in Madam Li’s eyes never disappeared.

Ye Ying was indeed not bad as long as Ye Jian was not by her side.

At this moment, Madam Li did not know that she had lost face because of Ye Ying.
