Chapter 193: Kid, Come Get Your Candy

Jinsheng Hotel was owned by the Ye family, so everyone knew who this celebration banquet was being held for.

After all, Ning Li was only Su Yuan’s daughter from her previous marriage and not really related to the Ye family.

“That’s true. In that case, the Ye family is being very nice to her. If she was still with her previous family, they surely wouldn’t even be able to afford such a venue, right?”

“Actually, the gap between first and fifth place isn’t that big. At the very least, it’s not as big as the gap between their families.”

“Yeah. I heard that the Ye family bid for the Qinghe Bridge project. They can definitely earn back whatever they spend now with that project.”

The person who spoke looked envious.

“I heard that the Ji family’s bidding price was extremely close and only missed by a hair. What a pity.”

“Hey, they’re here…”

The door to the banquet hall opened.

Ye Ming took the lead and walked in, greeting the crowd as he approached.

He was clearly in a good mood today.

With the Qinghe Bridge project progressing well and Ye Ci’s achievement, it was no wonder he looked like that.

Tonight’s celebration banquet was not very big. The Ye family had only invited less than thirty people of a certain status in Yunzhou that had good relations with them.

On the second floor.

Ye Ci was all decked out that night.

She wore a navy blue maxi dress and her hair had been pulled up with a diamond hairpin.

Ye Ci wore light makeup, which made her look very innocent and ladylike.

She walked out of her room and knocked on the next door, “Sister Ning Li, it’s almost time. Shall we go?”

In the afternoon, Ning Li had said that she had an errand to run and would come to the hotel by herself in the evening.

It was almost time for them to go downstairs.

In a moment, the room door was opened from the inside.

When Ye Ci saw Ning Li behind the door, she was stunned.

Ning Li wore a white, knee-length sleeveless dress that revealed her beautiful and slender calves.

Her soft, lustrous long hair had been curled slightly at the ends and draped over her shoulders.

Ning Li did not wear any makeup, but her skin was flawless. It made her big eyes seem extraordinarily bright.

Her outfit was incredibly simple. The aloofness in her eyes made her seem more untouchable.

Even Ye Ci had to admit that Ning Li’s face was truly impeccable.

Ye Ci smiled stiffly and covered up the jealousy that surged violently in her heart with a laugh.

“Sister Ning Li, your dress is beautiful. I’ve never seen it before.”

Ye Ci had seen every dress from all major brands, but she had never seen the one Ning Li wore.

‘Is this from an unknown brand? It doesn’t look cheap though…’

Ning Li stepped forward and closed the door behind her.
