Chapter 40
Young Masters of Wealthy Families
As soon as the few people in front of them entered, someone came to welcome them and was quickly pulled into the crowd.
The siblings were stunned on the spot. No one looked at them.
Bei Le pulled Bei Cong over and said loudly by his ear, “Big Brother, who invited you? At least introduce us. We’re standing here like idiots!”
Bei Cong had seen the world, so he immediately comforted his younger sister. “Don’t be anxious, don’t be anxious. Sit here and wait for me first. I’ll go look for him. Since I’m already here today, I have to get acquainted with Second Young Master Mu no matter what.”
He pushed Bei Le into a booth and walked into the crowd to find someone he knew.
Bei Le was filled with resentment, but she could not say anything. Usually, she was like a fish in water in her circle, but today, these people were not at the level of her social circle.
She took a quick look and her heart skipped a beat. She looked over and saw a few familiar faces chatting happily. The so-called familiarity was because she often saw them in entertainment weeklies.
Those were all young masters from top-notch wealthy families. Although they were promiscuous, they were real heirs born with a silver spoon in their mouths. If one day, she could stand by their side and become one of their women, it would be a true leap in status. Her status would no longer stop at being the foster daughter of a third-level high-society family.
She reached out and pressed her chest to calm her racing heart. She told herself not to panic. She had to move forward steadily and not make any mistakes.
“Eh? This lady looks unfamiliar. I don’t think I’ve seen her before.” Someone suddenly sat opposite her.
Bei Le came back to her senses and was shocked. A handsome man sat opposite her and smiled at her.
Bei Le leaned back a little nervously in her chair.
“Oh, are you shy? Oh my god, it’s not easy to see a girl who’s shy even when someone greets you in this era. That’s really rare and quite a catch.” The man’s voice was very clear, and his smile was as bright as the sun.
He waved behind him, and several people immediately surrounded him.
The man said, “I found a new girl. She blushed even before she spoke. She’s so innocent and cute.”
He said loudly to the crowd.
Bei Le’s heart beat wildly at the praise, and her face turned red.
“Oh, Second Young Master has found a treasure. This young lady is not bad-looking. Sigh. Whose little sister is this? Who brought her here? Why did you leave her in this corner without saying anything?”
“That’s right. Who would be so careless to throw such a cute lamb-like sister into the wolf pack?”
Everyone laughed.
Bei Le was shy. She did not recognize everyone, but she had already seen two familiar faces. She knew that the people in front of her were either rich or noble. She did not expect her to attract the attention of these noble young masters so easily.
Her heart was racing, making her face even hotter.
The man who was the first to strike up a conversation with her smiled and said, “Go away. Just leave her alone and don’t bother her. I like this girl. Don’t scare her!”
Everyone jeered, “Second Young Master, is this love at first sight? You haven’t asked if she has a boyfriend! You can’t snatch a girl by force!”
Second Young Master didn’t care. “As long as she’s not married, I have a chance. She looks so young, so she’s definitely not married. Don’t scare her!”
“Oh, you’re protecting her now? Second Young Master rarely acts so impulsively. It looks like you’re really tempted. However, it’s really rare to see such an innocent little sister. We won’t fight with you and give you face!”
Bei Le lowered her head shyly. At this moment, there was nothing more suitable than shyness.
No matter who the person in front of her was, his family background was definitely a hundred times better than Gu Ming’s. As a person walked higher, water would flow lower. No matter how deep his love was, it could not compare to his family background.
Bei Le took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself.
Second Young Master stretched out his hand and said very solemnly, “Hello, Miss. My name is Mu En. May I know your name?”
The music in Bei Le’s ears receded, and it was filled with Second Young Master’s pleasant voice. She looked up at the handsome face in front of her, and stars were about to appear in her eyes. She said in a trembling voice, “My… my name is Bei Le.”
“Bei Le? What a nice name! It suits you!” Mu En smiled brightly.
Bei Le pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.
Mu En smiled. “My sister-in-law’s surname is also Bei. You’re the second person I know with the surname Bei.”
Bei Le’s eyes couldn’t help but waver.
Mu En smiled and said, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have compared you to her. My sister-in-law is just a countryside girl who married my brother to counteract his bad luck. Unlike you, I can tell at a glance that you’re from a wealthy family.”
Bei Le’s heart trembled as ecstasy surged.
