Gao Wei, distraught over Du Jinruo, demands his mother introduce him to someone prettier. His mother remembers Nian Mutong, a beauty she saw with Du Jinruo, and agrees to set them up. Gao Wei insists on taking the arranged girl to the Capital City Grand Hotel that very day, accepting his mother's condition that a bodyguard accompany them. Nian Mutong, already dressed up for Du Jinruo's wedding, is brought to Madam Gao and surprises Gao Wei with her stunning appearance.

"Madam Gao, is it you who’s looking for me?"

Miss Nian, by nature, wasn’t particularly assertive. After understanding the Gao Family’s status, she recalled what Nian Che had said to her before.

Wang Guoming pursued her, and she detested him. But Nian Che told her that they were among those without any substantial foundation in the Capital City now. She couldn’t avoid someone she disliked just by wanting to. If she truly wanted to meet new people, or elevate her own status, she needed to make full use of her beauty.

He told her she didn’t need to do anything else but take care of herself, dress nicely, and live a fulfilling life every day.

Before, she couldn’t afford to offend even someone as trivial as Wang Guoming. She couldn’t outright reject him, and she still had to deal with him somehow.

Now, upon seeing the people from the Gao Family, Miss Nian suddenly remembered what Nian Che had told her back then. Subconsciously, she adopted a tone of ingratiation towards Madam Gao.

After speaking, Miss Nian felt a bit contemptuous of herself, but she knew she had no choice.

"Yes, Miss Nian, you look so dressed up. Where are you heading?"

"I’m going to the Capital City Grand Hotel..." Miss Nian paused at this point and looked at Gao Wei.

She knew that Gao Wei had been pursuing Du Jinruo all along, and now Du Jinruo was about to get married... this was...

Awkward.

"What a coincidence! It’s perfect, Gao Wei is also heading there. You can go together, and I’ll have the chauffeur drive you there."

Madam Gao didn’t hesitate as she dialed the phone to call the chauffeur.

Ever since Miss Nian entered the room, Gao Wei had been watching her intensely.

He couldn’t deny that Miss Nian was exceptionally beautiful. Her deliberate grooming had made his heart race slightly.

In the past, his heart was only fixed on Du Jinruo; he didn’t pay much attention to other women. He barely noticed even someone as beautiful as Jiang Xiao. But now, he only harbored feelings of revenge toward Du Jinruo, and somehow, he became captivated by Miss Nian’s beauty.

He turned his head and asked Madam Gao, "Mom, do you think she’s suitable?"

Madam Gao misunderstood his meaning, thinking he was asking if Miss Nian’s beauty could surpass Du Jinruo’s. She nodded immediately.

"Yes, absolutely."

"Then it’s settled. Mom, I remember you have a string of gemstone necklaces, right? You said it would be passed down to your daughter-in-law in the future."

"Yes... What’s the matter?"

"Bring it out."

Madam Gao thought for a moment and understood.

She had mentioned to the Du Family years ago that her gemstone necklace would be passed down to her daughter-in-law. Was Gao Wei thinking of lending it to Miss Nian to wear, to provoke the Du Family?

Fine, as long as he could vent his emotions, she would support whatever he did today.

Why not? Her son felt uncomfortable and wanted to make some noise, so why not?

"Alright, wait, Mom will get it for you."

It was a sapphire necklace, exquisite and stunning, sparkling brightly under the light.

Gao Wei picked it up, walked over, and personally put it on Miss Nian.

As he approached, Miss Nian felt an urge to flee.

However, the sapphire necklace in his hands prevented her from moving away.

Her father had told her that in this world, wealth, power, and status were the most vital things.

She hated Wang Guoming and knew that Wang Guoming had done plenty of evil things, mingling with many disreputable women. Yet, Nian Che still told her that she had to handle such people, unless she could be like Jiang Xiao, wealthy and with status, able to be capricious and reject anyone she disliked at her doorstep.
