Chapter 12 - Of course the person who wanted me to wear it picked it for me

Usually, the Southern Prosperity Club wouldn't hold any parties or anything like that. This place was originally a place for people to cultivate themselves. There wouldn't be so many flowers and whistles.

 However, today was the evening party organized by Eldest Miss of the Nan Family, Nan Pei. She didn't send out any invitations in the name of the Nan Family, but the Nan Family is well-known. Naturally, many people came because of it.

Nan Pei wears a purple silk robe, which is different from the bathrobe with Chinese style embellishment that others have. With the Chinese embroidery, the pattern of phoenix wearing peony looks very expensive.

 

Long hair tied up behind her head into a bun, decorated with hairpins of the same color. She sat in a pavilion by the pool, overlooking the center of the lake.

 

She originally only wanted to hold a party and invite a few friends over, but she didn't expect so many people to come.

 

"Young miss, when will the fireworks be set?" The attendant at the side went forward to ask.

 

The fireworks that were supposed to be set off is the highlight of the party.

 

Nan Pei swept her gaze over the crowd that was starting to gather and lazily held her chin. "Wait for another hour."

 

"Still moping here? It's good to see a few ladies with good looks and bearing. Didn't you already deny some models? Why don't you pick from here and find someone that you think is okay?" The assistant walked to Nan Pei.

 

They wouldn't normally see many people walking around in their bathrobe, though it's different from the traditional clothes, they have the same feel.

 

"What are you thinking? If you pick one out, it's worth more than 100 million. Who would condescend to do that?" Nan Pei replied lazily.

 

The assistant was speechless. This was clearly her scene, but this master seemed to be forced to be here.

 

But she also agreed with Nan Pei, these people are always way over their heads, how can they agree to such things.

 

It's just perfect to be here for the fun.

 

"Alright, I'll go over and greet the guests." Nan Pei stood up feeling bored.

 

Mu Nuanxi is surrounded by many friends and by Li Mengluo. When she saw Nan Pei coming over, the smile on her face became clear.

 

"Nan Pei."

 

Nan Pei came over and glanced at the surrounding girls. "I haven't seen you for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come tonight."

 

"How could I not give Sister Pei face? My brother and Chenxing are here." Mu Nuanxi pointed to her left.

 

Nan Pei took a casual look. "Have fun."

 

"Miss Nan." Li Mengluo stopped Nan Pei who was about to leave.

 

She stopped and motioned Li Mengluo to speak.

 

"I see there's a piano over there, did you invite a pianist?"

 

Nan Pei looked at the piano placed by the lake and nodded. "Yes."

 

Together with the violinist, it was arranged by the assistant, and there would be music for everyone to enjoy.

 

"Can I give you a suggestion, my sister just came back from a tour, let her open for you, what do you think? "Li Mengluo said proudly.

 

"Luo Luo." Mu Nuanxi tugged at Li Mengluo's hand, and there was an obvious blush on her cheeks.

 

Li Mengluo leaned into Mu Nuanxi's ear and said softly," I heard that NanSheng will be coming too. Sister, you have to do your best to perform well in front of him."

 

Nan Pei recalled that Mu Nuanxi had learned piano from a young age, and is taught by a famous pianist, and had performed countless performances.

 

"It's a great honor to be able to make the Mu family's eldest miss perform."

 

"Sister Pei overpraised me. Luoluo is exaggerating."

 

"I will be able to listen to your music."

 

Nan Pei saw a person standing not far from the table. Under the light, she was standing in the backlight. Her red body was particularly eye-catching. She wore half of her mask and could not see her full face clearly, but the bottom half of her face was extremely delicate.

 

"That is?" Nan Pei asked.

 

Following her gaze, Mu Nuanxi understood. "That's my sister."

 

She answered naturally and the people around her could hear it clearly.

 

That's the little daughter the Mu family found. They heard that she was found from a little town dozens of kilometers away from Ningzhou City.

 

Growing up in the mountains, she does not know the rules of society.

 

"Your sister?" Nan Pei raised an eyebrow.

 

She had never liked to listen to outside gossip, so she naturally did not know much about the Mu Family.

 

"Then why is she wearing a mask?" The girl in the light green bathrobe next to them asked in confusion.

 

The person next to her touched her by the elbow. "You don't know but I heard them say that Mu Wen Li grew up in the countryside, she is black and ugly and had no culture. Maybe she is afraid of losing face."

 

"Black and ugly?" Nan Pei frowned.

 

She had worked as a designer for so many years, so she is a natural observant of face ad body. The girl's half-exposed face didn't look ugly.

 

"In any case, she's not as good-looking as my sister. She's pretending to be mysterious making people feel sick." Li Mengluo snorted.

 

Just now, she had heard from Chenxing that Mu Wen Li had made Mu Nuanxi cry as soon as she returned to the Mu family. She had provoked the treasure that her family had been protecting.

 

She couldn't be blamed for being so dissatisfied.

 

"Luoluo, don't say that about Lili." Mu Nuanxi spoke reluctantly.

 

Nan Pei ignored them and went straight in Wen Li's direction. At this moment, the masked girl was picking up something at the dining table.

 

Wen Li hadn't even eaten a single grain of rice after being tormented here and there. So she is naturally very hungry.

 

Just as she bit a cake, a glass of juice was handed over to replace the champagne.

 

The fingers holding the cup were slender, and a band-aid was attached to the index finger.

 

Wen Li followed that hand and saw Nan Pei standing beside her.

 

"The alcohol is quite high. It's not suitable for girls." Nan Pei looked at her and explained.

 

Clear eyes clashed with hers. There was no trace of desire or inquiry in her eyes. This was the first person Wen Li had met tonight that looked at her without any malicious intent or inquiry.

 

"My name is Nan Pei." Nan Pei politely extended her hand.

 

"Wen Li."

 

This is considered recognition.

 

"Your clothes are good. I wonder who picked them for you." Nan Pei led the conversation to her red bathrobe.

 

Wen Li took a sip of the juice and looked into the distance. She said meaningfully," Of course, the person who wanted me to wear it picked it for me."

 

Nan Pei raised an eyebrow. Mu Wen Li is not stupid.

 

"Then why are you ……"

 

"It's just a piece of clothing. What's important is whether or not I can wear it well."

 

Nan Pei nodded with satisfaction. To be able to say such a thing, this girl is not an ordinary person.

 

No matter how exquisite a dress is made, it is designed for people. If the person who wears it can control it, there is no public opinion.

 

The one who sent it clearly knew that Wen Li's appearance in this gathering is eye-catching, yet they still allowed her to appear in such eye-catching clothes because they wanted her to be under public scrutiny.

 

This sort of thing depended on one's mentality.

 

Before Nan Pei could say anything, there was a commotion at the entrance. Looking up, she saw Nan Sheng in a dark blue bathrobe.

 

Her little brother had finally arrived.
