Chapter 330: Dazzling (Thanks to

Lin Mu, standing on the side of the room, had her gaze flicker slightly.

She carefully sized up the girl who had changed her clothes.

Her features were three-dimensional and coordinated, her eyes large and clear, her nose bridge straight, and her lips full.

Her figure didn't have the prominent points of Qian Qian and Wen Ruan, but it was also very good.

Of course, it was still slightly inferior to hers; after all, she insisted on shaping and maintenance every day.

Her temperament was pure, and her demeanor was somewhat constrained and uneasy.

Combined with the simple clothes she wore when she arrived, Lin Mu instantly had a guess in her heart.

She should be a little girl who hadn't seen much of the world; she might even still be in school.

She was actually a bit like herself in high school.

Not in terms of looks, but in temperament and demeanor.

Pure, uneasy, inferior, constrained.

It was a pity she didn't have her own good luck, meeting a boy like Tang Zong at such an age and stage.

She sighed a few times in her heart, and her hanging heart finally let go.

Compared to a difficult woman like Wen Ruan, this didn't count as a threat at all.

She didn't even need to spend effort to test her; she could see what she was thinking at a glance.

Lin Mu stepped forward and said softly: "My taste is good, right? Isn't this dress very suitable?"

"Yeah, very beautiful." Tang Zong looked at the dazed Qian Lele, pointed to the sneakers on her feet, and smiled: "Why didn't you change your shoes? The things in the changing room are all prepared for you."

Feeling the soft and delicate dress on her body, Qian Lele looked at the people around her and muttered: "I didn't know."

Mainly because those shoes looked brand new at a glance.

She was afraid of getting them dirty.

"Don't be nervous, Lele, go try them on. If there's no problem, change into the treatment clothes first to take a shower, then the staff will take you for a comprehensive treatment." Tang Zong blinked with a smile, "The next occasion is relatively special, so I won't stay here."

"Xiao Mu, I'll leave it to you; help me take good care of her."

Lin Mu nodded quietly: "Okay."

Qian Lele stammered: "No need, Brother Song, I'll just take a shower, and these clothes..."

Tang Zong raised his hand to interrupt her next words and paced to Qian Lele's side.

Looking into her eyes, he said warmly: "Don't think too much; I'm just helping you fulfill your wish from last night, consider it a gift before we part, thanking you for your care during this time.

For me, these expenses don't have much impact.

You also hope to be able to appear at your classmate's birthday party in beautiful clothes and frankly bless her with others, right?"

Thinking of the Tiramisu cake and the wish from last night.

Qian Lele pursed her lips, her gaze slightly distracted.

She was just an ordinary small-town girl, at most outstanding in appearance.

She also had her own desires, ideas, and plans.

Sometimes she would also have some "evil thoughts" she didn't dare to face.

For example, longing to make her classmates look at her with new eyes and show off.

Or imagining herself as Cinderella in a fairy tale, able to transform gorgeously.

It was just that she was very sensible, could see reality clearly, and had her own principles.

After a while, she looked up at Tang Zong and nodded silently.

"Thank you, Brother Song."

"Alright, I'm leaving first, see you later."

After speaking, Tang Zong strode out.

The door was closed again.

Under Lin Mu's arrangement, the room instantly became busy.

Luxurious independent bathroom, water at just the right temperature, various high-end cleaning and care products.

After a comfortable hot shower, the beauty consultant brought a cup of health tea, and Qian Lele drank it dry in small sips.

Under Lin Mu's guidance, she lay down on the beauty bed, feeling constrained.

Immediately after, 4 beauty therapists surrounded her.

Facial cleaning treatment, foot treatment, hand treatment, body exfoliation massage maintenance...

Soft incense, professional techniques, high-end skincare products, advanced instruments.

Qian Lele, who was originally so nervous that her whole body was stiff, gradually relaxed.

It was just that her tightly closed eyes were still trembling slightly, her long, dense eyelashes like butterfly wings.

The sky outside became darker and darker.

Qian Lele fell asleep at some point.

It wasn't until a familiar phone ringtone sounded that she woke up with a start.

"It's my phone." She whispered, but didn't dare to move around.

The beauty therapist who was doing her treatment immediately stopped.

Immediately after, the beauty consultant handed the phone to her.

Qian Lele hurriedly answered the phone, "Hello, Yaoyao, what is it?"

"Oh my, I sent you several WeChat messages, but you didn't reply. I thought you had backed out!"

"No, no, I was busy with something just now."

"Alright then, I've sent today's activity flow to the group. You can take a look when you have time. If you arrive, tell me in advance, because the party house is in a villa, so entering is a bit troublesome. I'll have staff waiting at the West Gate to pick you up."

"Oh, oh, thank you, Yaoyao."

Ding Yao suddenly giggled: "By the way, Lele, is that male roommate of yours coming?"

"Yeah." Qian Lele's voice was very small.

"Hehe, that's good. I'm so curious about him. Alright, I won't say anymore; I'm going to get busy and check if there are any omissions in the venue layout. We'll chat in detail when you arrive, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone, Qian Lele let out a long breath.

Looking at the 【Ding Yao Birthday Party】 group.

There were 19 people in total, many of whom she had seen before, but they hadn't had any interaction, and she hadn't added them on WeChat.

The atmosphere in the group was very joyful, with people constantly sending red envelopes.

Whoever was the "best of luck" last time was responsible for sending the next red envelope.

Basically, each one was 1,000 yuan.

Qian Lele naturally wouldn't participate in this kind of activity, because the balance in her card was only 600 yuan.

Scrolling up, she saw the birthday party photos sent by Ding Yao, as well as the activity flow.

……

Handing Famous Villa was a low-density high-end villa area located next to the South Third Ring Road.

It was just developed last year by the well-known "Handing Real Estate Development Co., Ltd." in Yannan Province.

The community environment was excellent, all detached villas with courtyards.

However, due to the relatively remote location, incomplete supporting facilities, and the sluggish general environment, the occupancy rate was extremely low.

The developer turned a few villas near the west side into party houses and private clubs; besides making money, they could also promote the community environment.

Because it happened to be located on the edge of the 3rd Ring Road, with convenient traffic and no traffic jams, business was quite good.

Inside Villa Building 4.

Dazzling light strips flickered with colorful light.

A huge pink balloon arch stood tall, and layers of ribbons clustered together.

Crystal bead curtains hung from the ceiling.

A huge multi-layered birthday cake, a dazzling array of buffet tables, small and exquisite fruit tarts...

Looking at it, it was full of flowers and gorgeous beauty.

Like a dream palace in a fairy tale.

Hanging up the phone, Ding Yao turned to beckon to a waiter next to her, "Turn on the music first to liven up the atmosphere."

The waiter responded and called the venue management.

Then she came to her, smiled and said: "It'll be ready soon! By the way, Ding Yao, I haven't told you yet, happy birthday! Forever 18!"

"Oh?" Ding Yao raised her eyebrows, sized her up for a while, and asked with surprise: "Are you... from Lele's dorm?"

Because the girls' dorms weren't in the same building, plus Qian Lele often left early and returned late.

Ding Yao rarely went to her dorm to find her, but she vaguely had some impression; it could barely be considered remembering there was such a person.

"Yeah, I'm Lele's roommate, Duan Fang." Duan Fang's attitude was enthusiastic and intimate: "I worked part-time with Lele at the cafe before and came to work at the party house during the summer vacation."

Hearing that she was Lele's roommate, Ding Yao's attitude instantly became kind, "Thank you, Fangfang. It just so happens you are working here; do you want to join my birthday party?"

"This... is it a bit inappropriate?" Duan Fang's gaze instantly became scorching.

She had long envied this wealthy friend of Qian Lele's, but she never had the chance to have contact.

Catching up with such a day, it could be considered a good opportunity.

If she could become a good friend of Ding Yao like Qian Lele, she would definitely get many benefits in the future.

Ding Yao smiled and shook her head, "It doesn't matter, I'll tell your boss; just consider it keeping us company."

She had originally been worried that Qian Lele wouldn't adapt after coming, so having such a roommate around was also quite good.

"Then thank you, Yaoyao." Duan Fang instantly beamed.

Things went much smoother than she imagined; she originally thought this kind of rich second generation was hard to deal with, but she didn't expect Ding Yao to take the initiative to invite her without looking down on her at all.

She knew Qian Lele's personality; as long as she acted intimate, she definitely wouldn't speak ill of her.

……

Yisha Beauty Salon.

The makeup artist stopped her movements and said softly: "It's done. Please take a look and see if there's anything that needs adjustment."

Qian Lele slowly opened her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.

Supple, slightly curled hair, carefully trimmed and drawn eyebrows, delicately blended eyeshadow, fresh and natural skin tone, glossy lip gloss...

It had an unreal, dreamy feel.

Qian Lele whispered: "There's nothing to adjust, thank you."

"You're too polite. Then we'll leave first, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

With the departure of the makeup artists, the room became quiet.

Immediately after, a cloak shawl and a gorgeous gift box appeared before her.

Lin Mu smiled warmly: "Lele, let me help you put on the necklace."

Qian Lele said somewhat nervously: "Thank you, Sister Xiao Mu."

"You're welcome." Lin Mu pursed her lips, opened the gift box, took out the Chanel double-C necklace she had chosen, and skillfully helped her put it on her neck.

Then she picked up the shawl and gave her simple instructions.

The clever Qian Lele quickly learned the correct way to wear it.

"There's a full-body mirror over there; you can look at the overall effect. I'll go out for a bit." Lin Mu patted her shoulder and turned to walk out.

In the huge VIP room, only she was left alone.

"Da-da-da—" Footsteps rang out.

Because it was her first time wearing high heels, she wasn't used to it and walked very slowly.

Coming to the full-body mirror, looking at the familiar yet strange self in the mirror.

Qian Lele's chest heaved violently.

No girl didn't love beauty, and she was naturally no exception.

This was the first time in her life she had done a treatment, the first time she had worn makeup, and the first time she had worn such gorgeous clothes.

The shock in her heart was truly indescribable.

It was just like the dream she had; Cinderella was cast with magic and transformed into a beautiful princess.

It was just that the one who helped her wasn't a fairy, but... Tang Zong.

"Creak—" The room door was opened.

Qian Lele seemed to sense something and turned around quickly.

Her skirt fluttered, her hair swayed.

"Brother Song!" She gasped, looking at Tang Zong who walked in, her gaze somewhat shy.

Tang Zong sized her up a few times and smiled with satisfaction: "Really beautiful. Time is almost up; it's time to go to your classmate's birthday party. Let's go."

Qian Lele gave a light "yeah" and followed Tang Zong out.

A few minutes later, the white Bentley merged into the traffic, driving toward the villa party house.

……

Time approached 7 o'clock in the evening.

Seven or eight people had already arrived in the villa living room, all friends who had a good relationship with Ding Yao, considered a local circle of rich second generations.

Sitting or standing, laughing and playing with each other, the atmosphere was very lively.

Seeing Ding Yao typing, Zhang Haoyu asked with concern: "Has Qian Lele set off?"

"Yeah, she'll be here in 10 minutes." Ding Yao nodded with a smile, "It's a pity, Lele is bringing a male companion. It seems the relationship is really not ordinary, so I'd say you, kid, probably don't have a chance."

Others burst into loud teasing.

"Haoyu was thinking of going to pick her up, haha, clown!"

"Zhang Haoyu, do you want to consider this sister? I'm very easy to pursue."

Zhang Haoyu shrugged casually, "Anyway, they haven't confirmed their relationship yet; I might not have no chance."

Ding Yao knocked on his forehead, "Today is my birthday; you can't cause any trouble for me!"

Zhang Haoyu slapped her claw away and said speechlessly: "Don't worry, brother has principles; chasing girls relies on charm. If I fail, it's just because I'm too lame."

As a wealthy second generation with a good family background, he didn't lack beautiful girls around him.

He had also talked about girlfriends during college.

Under Ding Yao's instigation, plus the contact with Qian Lele, Zhang Haoyu did indeed have a good impression of her.

He wanted to get along with the other party and try to see if they could spark a bright love.

But to say he was attracted by her looks and couldn't live without her, that was purely nonsense.

Ding Yao rolled her eyes at him, "Anyway, just know what you're doing."

Du Jiao, sitting next to the two, had a somewhat ugly face.

She was Ding Yao's college classmate and also a member of the Normal University Innovation and Entrepreneurship Club.

Seeing the boy she liked chasing "Cinderella" Qian Lele and being indifferent to her.

She felt her charm had been denied, and she felt really uncomfortable.

Zhang Haoyu shrugged and suddenly said with a grin: "By the way, tell you a good news, my sister is also coming to Handing Famous Villa tonight."

"Holy crap! Sister Lili is coming too? Where?"

"Is she coming to attend Yaoyao's birthday?"

Several friends around immediately started shouting.

Zhang Haoyu's sister, Zhang Lili, was very famous in their small circle.

A true top student, a master's degree holder from Shanghai Jiao Tong University's Advanced Institute of Finance.

She used to work at a foreign investment bank and just returned to Yannan for development last year.

She was a true financial elite and social celebrity.

She was already on par with their parents' generation.

Ding Yao showed an excited smile, shook his shoulders hard, and said: "Where is Sister Lili? Why don't I see her?"

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhang Haoyu hurriedly stopped her and said proudly: "Not on this side, she's at the business club in Building 10. Xie Yue from Handing Group personally invited my sister over."

"Xie Yue! Young Master Xie?"

"Who is this? Why haven't I heard of him?"

Duan Fang, who was eating and drinking in the crowd, widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Isn't Handing Group the developer of this villa area?"

The party house she worked for was managed by the property company behind Handing Group.

She had some understanding of this behemoth.

A boy with a crew cut explained: "Xie Yue is the son of Handing Group boss Xie Donghan and is currently the vice president of the group. I met him once with my father."

Ding Yao asked with full hope: "What is Young Master Xie looking for Sister Lili for? Is it to talk about work? Can you let Sister Lili take the time to come over here? Just eat a piece of cake; it won't delay anything."

Because the relationship between their parents was good, Ding Yao had known Zhang Lili since she was a child and admired her very much.

"It is indeed to talk about work. I heard from my sister that it's about the short drama film and television base outside the 3rd Ring Road. It's probably related to investment; we don't understand these things." Zhang Haoyu spread his hands and continued: "I don't know if she can come. You can ask her later; if she's not busy, she'll likely come."

Immediately after, everyone started chattering and discussing the topic of "Xie Yue" and "Zhang Lili."

Although they were also rich second generations, they were still far from the level of Xie Yue and Handing Group.

Listening to their chat, Duan Fang in the corner shrank her neck, feeling both excited and fearful in her heart.

She was just an ordinary college student, and her family was a bit poor.

She usually had no qualifications to come into contact with such big shots.

Just then, the phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

Ding Yao picked up the phone on the table and looked at it, then immediately answered the call, "Hello Lele, where are you?"

"Oh, oh, you can just report your name to the property staff; I've already said hello."

"Alright, bye-bye."

Hanging up the phone, Ding Yao stood up happily and said to Duan Fang: "Lele is arriving soon, let's go welcome her. This girl is relatively introverted; you should chat with her more later to soothe her little emotions."

"Yeah, yeah, alright." Duan Fang hurriedly followed quickly.

"Haoyu, your girl is here, aren't you going to pick her up?" The crew-cut boy pushed Zhang Haoyu, full of giggles.

"Yeah, aren't you going to use your charm to move her? Go, go PK with her male companion!"

"Go, go, I'll be your witness and see who has more charm!"

Amidst the pushing and shoving, Zhang Haoyu also simply followed them out.

In this regard, he was completely unafraid, after all, he had seen Qian Lele's roommate.

…

The sky outside had completely darkened.

The colorful lights inside projected out through the large glass windows.

The cool, refreshing night breeze after the rain rushed toward them, making people feel refreshed.

A fashionably dressed girl asked curiously: "I haven't seen that Lele yet; seeing Haoyu so obsessed, she must be very beautiful, right?"

Zhang Haoyu imitated the expression of Liu Xuan in the movie "The Mermaid" and shouted exaggeratedly: "It's not a question of whether she's beautiful or not; she's really the kind, the kind you rarely see!"

"Pfft—"

Looking at Zhang Haoyu, who was acting like a drama queen, several friends burst into laughter.

"Alright, Lele is arriving soon, stop joking around!"

"OK, OK! Today is your birthday, we'll all listen to you."

Just as the few were laughing and playing, a bright and dazzling light suddenly swept over, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Everyone's gazes turned toward it.

In the quiet night, a white sedan slowly drove into the gate.

The car body lines were smooth and elegant, luxurious and atmospheric.

The pure, high-end white car paint radiated a cold aura in the night.

"Holy crap, Bentley Continental GT? My dream car! Whose car is this?"

"A car worth over 3 million, who has such strength? And it's a Shanghai license plate."

"Yaoyao, your friend's?"

Ding Yao shook her head blankly, "I only invited you guys and a few college classmates; I haven't seen anyone drive a Bentley."

The wheels rolled slowly, crushing the wet ground, emitting a slight and dull "rustle" sound.

It slowly stopped in a parking space near the gate.

The roar of the engine gradually subsided.

After a while, the passenger door was pushed open gently.

A tall and graceful figure walked down.

The simple and elegant V-neck dress clung to her graceful curves, the skirt swaying slightly, flashing with a luster as delicate as velvet.

The Chanel cloak shawl draped casually over her shoulders was like a soft cloud wrapping around her shoulders.

Her features were bright and beautiful, her makeup exquisite and elegant.

Her dark, dense long hair hung on her shoulders, the slightly curled tips exuding a lazy aura.

She stood quietly in the night, her gaze slightly lowered, yet she seemed to be glowing, dazzling and eye-catching.

Duan Fang's originally smiling expression instantly froze, and she blurted out: "Qian Lele!?"

"Lele?" Ding Yao widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Buzzing" discussions immediately arose all around.

"She is Qian Lele? So beautiful! No wonder Haoyu likes her."

"No, this... how does it feel different from what I saw before. And that Bentley Continental..."

"The dress she's wearing is a Chanel summer new arrival; it costs over 40,000."

Looking at Qian Lele, who was like a rose in the wind.

Zhang Haoyu showed an amazed expression on his face, his footsteps subconsciously moving forward.

Just then, with a "click," the driver's door was pushed open.

A tall figure wearing a dark suit stood up and casually closed the car door.

Pacing with elegant and composed steps, he came to Qian Lele's side.

His calm gaze swept toward the villa gate.

Several girls instantly had their hearts race.

His handsome features, tall and high-spirited figure, and temperament were as beautiful as jade.

The damp night breeze blew, and his dark hair swept across his deep eyes, carrying a sense of pure, ascetic restraint in the night.

Outstanding to the extreme.

He stood quietly beside Qian Lele, yet attracted all the gazes.

Zhang Haoyu looked at this scene in a daze, the grin on his face gradually disappeared, and his footsteps also stopped.

Du Jiao beside him had her eyelids twitching, her gaze looking hotly at the boy beside Qian Lele, her eyes full of reverie.

This should be the boy she had encountered in reality whose temperament and appearance best matched her aesthetics.

Especially the way he walked out of the Bentley Continental, it was simply like a novel male lead walking into reality.

Full of chaotic, dreamy feelings.

Qian Lele looked up, pursed her lips, and greeted softly: "Good evening, Yaoyao."

Originally, being watched by everyone, she was very uneasy and nervous, but with Tang Zong's appearance, this feeling instantly disappeared.

Along with it, her mood relaxed.

"Good evening, Lele. You are..." Ding Yao took a deep breath and looked up at the boy beside her, "Is this the friend you mentioned?"

Good guy! A male god driving a Bentley!

Lele! I thought you were a little lamb who didn't understand the world; it turns out you were hiding so deep!

If we weren't good friends, I would be so jealous I'd crack right now!

Qian Lele gave a "yeah," her face somewhat red.

Tang Zong showed a faint smile and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Hello, I'm Tang Zong."

"Hello... I'm Ding Yao, welcome to my birthday party."

"Happy birthday." Tang Zong smiled and handed the gift box in his hand over.

"Thank you!" Ding Yao took it with both hands, somewhat flattered.

Qian Lele beside her also followed suit and handed over the gift, "Happy birthday, Yaoyao."

"Thank you, Lele." Ding Yao hurriedly gestured: "Hurry and go in, let's go inside to eat and chat."

"Yeah." Qian Lele nodded and followed Tang Zong toward the front.

Noticing Duan Fang in the crowd, Qian Lele paused slightly, but didn't stop.

Looking at Qian Lele who walked past her, feeling the "expensive" aura rushing toward her.

Duan Fang lowered her head, her face changing, her gaze flickering.

No matter what, she couldn't understand how this college classmate suddenly became like this.

And this boy, as well as that Bentley car.

She suddenly had a strong intuition that Qian Lele was going to turn things around.

If she hadn't fallen out with the other party, she would definitely have pounced on her enthusiastically right now and hugged this big thigh tightly.

Later, when she made it big, she could also share in the glory.

But now, it was too late to say anything!

Thinking of this, thick jealousy and regret surged in her heart. ===== CHAPTER 331 =====
