Chapter: 6684
As a result, she smiled and said: "The guest list for tonight's party has a top-notch designer, personally invited by the head of the Mitsui family. I was planning to introduce you two, but then I thought it would be too great a gap between you, so I decided not to. It's better this way, or at least, it'll save your heart from being troubled."
After saying that, she glanced at Sasaki Yukiko and couldn't help but bring a hint of mockery into her eyes, wrinkling her mouth: "Yukiko, didn't you waste three precious invitations on these uninvited guests? Haven't you thought about how to explain this to grandfather?"
"Nothing to explain." Sasaki Yukiko said calmly: "Grandfather gave me three invitation slots, so I can invite whoever I want."
She added: "Besides, you don't have the right to criticize my friends!"
Miki scolded: "Fool! Grandfather gave you three slots for people who are helpful and influential in the family's future development. Not for you to just invite some uninvited guests to come and see the Mitsui family's party! Don't you know that Tavanna is very particular about social circles, wanting her to know that she has carefully prepared a party for her with the three-mi clan? And yet, you let those uninvited cats and dogs into the party, ruining the Mitsui family's face?"
Dong Ru Lin's expression suddenly turned indignant, as she didn't expect Miki to always manipulate themselves three of them, especially Ye Chen and Xiao Yu Ran, whom she had called herself to see the stars, only to find that they didn't get to meet them.
Xiao Yu Ran's inner self is not easy to be provoked, but this situation just made her feel a bit embarrassed. According to her nature, it would be better to quickly avoid this confrontational woman.
As for Ye Chen, he had gotten used to seeing people who like to show off and criticize others over the past two years. He didn't want to bother with Miki's cold teasing either.
He inferred from Miki's attitude towards Sasaki Yukiko and some information from her words that Miki and Sasaki Yukiko are sisters-in-law, their grandfathers being the same person, and there must be some competitive relationship between them, so Miki deliberately tried to belittle Sasaki Yukiko in this situation.
Sasaki Yukiko faced Miki's provocation, unsure of how to respond. She didn't want to argue with Miki or let her friends Dong Ru Lin, Ye Chen, and Xiao Yu Ran get caught up in the awkwardness, so she quickly said to the three: "Let's go grab some drinks over there! Come this way, please!"
Miki saw Sasaki Yukiko trying to escape and suddenly laughed coldly: "What? Got hit by my words and running away? I'll tell you, Yukiko. After we leave here, I'll immediately report this matter to grandfather. You'd better pray that these uninvited guests won't make Tavanna uncomfortable. Otherwise, you'll be the shame of our Sasaki family as a granddaughter!"
After saying that, Miki didn't wait for Sasaki Yukiko to respond and turned around to leave, heading towards the central circle.
Sasaki Yukiko quickly apologized to the three: "I'm really sorry, Dong Ru Lin, Ye Chen, and Xiao Yu Ran! Miki is my cousin-in-law, always a bit strong-willed, and her words can easily offend people. Please don't take it personally!"
Xiao Yu Ran and Dong Ru Lin both expressed that they didn't mind, while Ye Chen's attention was still on Sasaki Yukiko.
At this moment, Sasaki Yukiko had just arrived at the outer circle of the central area, and the earlier arrogance and haughtiness were suddenly swept away, replaced by a humble smile. After bowing to multiple people, she stood quietly beside others, listening to conversations around her without speaking a word.
Ye Chen only realized that amidst all these unfamiliar faces, there was someone he knew.
He pointed at the woman in the crowd, asking Xiao Yu Ran, "Hey, old lady, who is that person?"
Xiao Yu Ran followed Ye Chen's direction and looked over. Suddenly, her eyes widened: "Good heavens, it's Carly!"
Carly was the world-renowned female designer and one of the most well-known designers globally, Ke Li Wei.
Initially, Xiao Yu Ran had been able to attend the Rhode Island Design Institute masterclass in the United States due to a special invitation from Ke Li Wei.
Ke Li Wei had treated Xiao Yu Ran so kindly not because they got along particularly well, but mainly because it was for the sake of Fei Ke Xin's reputation.
Fei Ke Xin is now completely oblivious; she is the patriarch of the Fei family. The Fei family's strength may not be comparable to the An family or the Rothschild family, but their overall strength far surpasses that of the Ito family and can even match that of the entire Mitsui family.
To know, the Mitsui family has already become equivalent to a large-scale federal government. From the perspective of the federal government, they may be nominally in charge of the entire country, but each state has its own rights that are quite big, and the Mitsui's core family may lead the entire Mitsui financial group, but the sub-states below are not what they want them to be.
But Fei Ke Xin is different. The entire Fei family is hers, and even though others who are also surnamed Fei may be in charge of assets, from a legal perspective, it all belongs to the Fei family. If anyone doesn't listen, Fei Ke Xin can just make them roll over.
At this moment, Xiao Yu Ran was clearly unaware that she would run into Ke Li Wei here, and with surprise not yet worn off, she suddenly remembered what Sasaki Miki had said earlier, feeling a sense of nostalgia: "It turns out that the big designer Sasaki Miki mentioned is actually Ke Li..."
