Chapter 221: Ball (Part 1)

Atlantic Federation capital, suburbs, Lopez Garden.

This is a sea-flower manor located in the suburbs of the capital circle. The manor belongs to the Lopez Conglomerate, which is well-known in the upper class of the Atlantic Federation.

Now, this manor is gathering high-level figures from the military, political, and business circles to celebrate the coming-of-age ceremony of the eldest daughter of the Lopez Conglomerate.

The guests are talking to each other in a low voice politely, and they are looking up at the stairs leading to the second floor of the hall from time to time, waiting patiently for the protagonist to appear.

Many young talents on the scene are even calculating how to get close to the eldest daughter later. After all, the head of the Lopez Conglomerate just passed away last month. As long as you win the heart of this eldest daughter, it is equivalent to including the Lopez Conglomerate in your pocket.

And some old guys who are already wealthy have also made plans to let their nephews marry into the Lopez Conglomerate.

After all, this eldest daughter is just the adopted daughter of old Lopez. Because old Lopez had no heirs, he let her inherit this huge conglomerate.

But the adopted daughter inheriting the family business, compared to now, must be under a lot of pressure from many distant relatives.

Under such circumstances, if this eldest daughter is slightly smarter, she will know how to seek help from the outside. Then you can let your nephews marry her and achieve the goal of taking the Lopez Conglomerate into your palm.

The guests, who are polite on the surface but actually have their own ghosts, finally waited for the heroine of the coming-of-age ceremony after a long wait.

I saw a girl in a cheongsam slowly descending the stairs under the attention of everyone.

The girl has a typical Oriental face, with a characteristic bun and twin tails. Under the support of the well-fitting cheongsam, she is youthful and beautiful, but also not lacking in cuteness and dignity.

Deliberately using the traditional clothing of the East Asian Republic at the coming-of-age ceremony to show her adopted daughter identity, it seems that this move is quite impulsive, which makes many guests lower their evaluation of this eldest daughter.

Because she was made difficult on the bloodline, so deliberately being angry like this can't be counted as any rational behavior.

Wang Liumei looked at such a grand scene, although she was still calm on the surface, she was actually a little scalp-numb.

Coming to a new world, but not seeing her companions by her side, only a so-called coming-of-age ceremony waiting for her, couldn't help but make her a little panicked.

Such a "descent" and the last experience seem to be a bit different!

But Wang Liumei is a girl who has been the head of the Wang family after all. Although she was a little flustered, she quickly grasped the main points.

Through verbal probing with the servants around her, she quickly grasped her current identity and environment.

The adopted daughter of a large conglomerate, and she inherited the family business through a will after her adoptive father died. There are many distant relatives around who are ill-intentioned and have no blood relationship...

This is really a bit terrible...

But regardless, no matter how many difficulties she has to face, now she must first handle the coming-of-age ceremony, and then find a way to find her companions in this world.

Li Boyong, that guy, forget it, but Sister Shihe and the Xia sisters must find a way to find them.

With the help of the butler, Wang Liumei skillfully dealt with the guests who came to talk, and the appropriate social rhetoric came out. She could joke, and could also tactfully refuse some inappropriate climbing.

She is not a social genius, but she has been strictly trained after the day, and dealing with the small scenes in front of her is not considered anything.

And her performance fell into the eyes of the guests, and their evaluation of her changed again.

Perhaps, this eldest daughter deliberately wearing the traditional clothing of the East Asian Republic is not impulsive, but confident?

But in fact, Wang Liumei didn't consider so much at all. After all, what she was wearing when she "descended" was this set, and after spending some time figuring out the situation, there was no time to change into a more suitable evening dress.

As a coming-of-age ceremony for a large conglomerate heir, this banquet attracted people from all walks of life in the military, political, and business circles.

A graceful but lecherous conglomerate owner, a hypocritical but full of vanity politician, a vulgar but actually cunning soldier.

Wang Liumei dealt with all kinds of guests. After the social conversation came to a temporary end, she found an opportunity to hide in a corner of the self-service food area.

Although it is inevitable to attract attention, this move is enough to show her attitude. Those who consider themselves gentlemen will not rashly come to disturb her at this time.

Except for... a soldier wearing a strange helmet.

To be honest, one of the guests who talked just now was this guy. In such a solemn occasion, wearing this strange half-covered helmet, the people around were actually used to it.

Saying it was a conversation might not be appropriate. After all, the other party was actually silent when facing her.

It's just that I don't know why, but he came over again at this time. Is it to apologize for the rudeness just now?

If so, then this excuse is too bad...

Remember how the butler introduced him at that time?

Colonel Neo Roanoke?

Elite unit commander?

Just when Wang Liumei found an excuse to send away this rude stalker, the other party teased softly with a voice she was familiar with: "Yo, eldest daughter, how does it feel to have an extra cheap dad?"

"…………"

Wang Liumei's eyes twitched, and she carefully looked at the facial contours revealed under the other party's half-covered mask, and made a comparison with someone in her heart.

It's Lao Li, that guy, no doubt...

Rolling her eyes slightly, Wang Liumei really wanted to shout "indecent" and then pit Lao Li here.

But thinking that she still had to confirm where Sister Shihe was with the other party, she suppressed the idea of teasing.

"Why are you here?" Wang Liumei picked up a plate, pretending to be picking food, leaned slightly toward Li Boyong, and whispered: "Where are Sister Shihe and the Xia sisters?"

Facing Wang Liumei's inquiry, Li Boyong was also a little confused, "I don't know, you are the first one I found."

He was at this ball as soon as he crossed over. There were graceful gentlemen and beautiful ladies all around, looking like a gathering of the upper class.

Then Li Boyong remembered the system prompt during the period from the end of one world to the next.

Although he still couldn't move at that time, he remembered very clearly that this time he returned to the Gundam SEED world, returned to the CE Century.

It's just that he couldn't confirm whether this CE Century was the CE Century he had experienced.

After all, for his system, these worlds might just be one "copy" after another, and it might not be that the world he is currently in is developed from the world he experienced at the beginning.

Thinking of this, the first figure that appeared in his mind was Badgiruel.

I don't know if I can see her again...

After experiencing a confusion at the beginning of "descent", Li Boyong discovered that there seemed to be something strange on his head, and his vision was also a bit strange...

Just when he intended to reach out and take it off, Li Boyong suddenly saw a gentleman in a tuxedo greeting him, "So you are here, Colonel Neo Roanoke, the heroine of the coming-of-age ceremony is about to appear, let's go over quickly." ===== CHAPTER 222 =====
