Among the young ladies in the audience, only Zhao Xingcai remained expressionless. Although she found Mu Cangyu handsome, much like the young celebrity idols on television, she felt an inexplicable lack of interest in him. She couldn't say why.
At this moment, only one person occupied her mind: Chen Xuan, her sister's boyfriend. But as Chen Xuan failed to appear, her anxiety had turned into despair, and she was rapidly approaching a state of total disillusionment. She thought to herself that the power of the Mu family was truly terrifying. Even if Chen Xuan were indeed the leader of the provincial capital's underground world, he would still have to be wary of the Mu family’s influence. It was only natural that he hadn't come.
Zhao Xingcai decided to stop pinning her hopes on Chen Xuan. Her gaze dimmed; devoid of sorrow or joy, she withdrew into herself, becoming a beautiful woman without a hint of vitality. Deep down, she mused that if she were eventually chosen by Mu Cangyu and married into the Mu family, she could rely on their background to grow into a major star step by step—perhaps even surpassing her sister. Wouldn't that be just fine?
