Alice, one of the heirs of the Augustin Family, was actually rather unremarkable among her peers—she seemed especially mediocre even among that group of geniuses.
Because of this, she had no choice but to obey the family’s orders and relocate to this foreign land.
Originally, she thought she would just muddle through life like this.
But unexpectedly, the family suddenly gave her a task whose purpose was completely unclear.
She was to build a good relationship with Luo Shiyun, the eldest daughter of the Luo Family.
Huh?
Me?
The abrupt and vague order left the young girl utterly confused and bewildered.
It was hard to imagine that a lazybones like her would ever have a day when she could actually be useful.
Not wanting to disappoint her family completely, she began preparing to use all sorts of methods and schemes to get close to the cold, icy Miss Luo.
But before the plan even truly began, she suffered a crushing defeat.
No other reason—just that the maid beside Miss Luo was simply… too good-looking!
In Alice’s worldview, life boiled down to just two things.
One was eating, the other was marrying a wife.
And this beautiful, elegant, virtuous, generous, and voluptuous maid was undoubtedly the kind of woman who could become her wife!!
Even if her competitor was the very person her family commanded her to befriend, even if it meant risking her pride as a blonde original, she absolutely, absolutely would never give up!!
“Driver, start the car.”
“As you command, Miss.”
The car, both inside and out exuding sheer luxury, began to move, and during the entire ride, Yijinmo didn’t even feel the slightest motion.
The quality was actually better than the Mercedes she drove in her past life.
“Uh, Miss Alice, where are we heading now?”
“To the most upscale hotel in the city, of course! Tonight there will be a major business conference, and the hotel is also hosting an invitation-only party for the elite.”
“We can eat, drink, and have fun to our heart’s content there. If we get tired, we can just sleep right there—no problem at all!”
Ah, the simple yet lavish life of the rich.
Yijinmo didn’t really miss those days.
Compared to reckless spending day and night, lavish extravagance… sitting in the back seat of Miss Luo’s electric scooter feeling the breeze, riding bikes and falling into mud with Vita, wandering the night food street until forgetting to go home—all these gave her a warmer, more genuine feeling.
After all, she had once reached that level of society herself through her efforts and rare opportunities.
But upon arriving, she realized the gap between reality and fantasy was enormous; old friends had all left, and the suited faces around her were treacherous.
No matter what, she knew she didn’t truly belong there… and she was quite grateful to that big-luck driver for letting her experience such a colorful life once more.
Thanks to the driver’s superb skills and the car’s excellence, they barely felt any distance covered before arriving at their destination.
White Night Castle.
True to its name, this building looked like a Western-style castle—tall, intricate, with countless carvings and patterns decorating its exterior.
Professional attendants stood by the grand entrance, and the luxury car pulled up.
Alice politely took Yijinmo’s hand and led her out of the vehicle.
“Since we’re attending the party, Miss Yi, I’ll take you to change into a gorgeous gown—one that will definitely stun everyone!”
“So confident…?”
“I guarantee it. I, Alice, swear on behalf of the Augustin Family.”
Just don’t randomly swear on the family name, won’t you anger your ancestors…
After a brief conversation with the attendants, Alice personally escorted Yijinmo into the castle.
But not long after the two entered, a white-haired girl arrived, riding an electric scooter.
Yes, Luo Shiyun had no car—this two- or three-thousand-yuan electric scooter was her exclusive ride.
Nimble and compact, excellent for passage, fully electric, highly discreet, charge whenever needed, affordable.
For someone like her who lived frugally, the electric scooter was truly an invaluable treasure!
When the attendants saw the shaky little electric scooter pull up to the hotel entrance, their minds were filled with confusion.
But upon seeing the girl’s pretty face, they immediately corrected their attitude and respectfully pushed her scooter into the garage, treating it even more carefully than the luxury car.
“Senior… why would such an important person ride something like this…?”
“Less talk, more work.”
“This must be a rich person’s quirk, right? Down south, aren’t there plenty of people wearing beach shorts and flip-flops too?”
“Ah, that makes sense!”
The two were led to the fourth floor of the castle, where there was a special apartment used solely as a dressing room.
The spacious room existed just for changing clothes.
Yijinmo quietly marveled at the luxury.
It seemed no matter which world she was in, certain types of people inevitably led similar lives.
After gently coaxing Alice out to give her some privacy, Yijinmo began examining the dazzling array of gowns in the wardrobe.
So many, truly dazzling to the eyes.
And all were the kind of dresses she definitely couldn’t afford to damage.
But Yijinmo wasn’t really here just to play; she had another purpose.
Three years ago, when the “Lightning Freak” became infamous, Yijinmo learned about the city’s powerful elite through her frequent contacts with several sponsors.
But so much time had passed that major changes could have taken place.
That mysterious organization that hunted the Ice Thorn Trio and secretly created freaks surely held immense power in Jiangnan City.
Therefore, including these elites attending the party in her investigation could potentially reveal some clues.
While Yijinmo was still brainstorming, Alice, who had been rejected at the door, encountered a group of uninvited guests.
“Greetings, esteemed Miss Alice Augustin. We are representatives from Thor Corporation. Here is my business card for your perusal.”
“?”
Alice, who had been pacing with her arms crossed while waiting for the maid to appear in full regalia, looked up, confused.
Thor Corporation?
The name sounded imposing, but she had never heard of it before.
Apparently noticing the young lady’s doubt, the woman quickly added,
“We are a biotech company specializing in biological technology. In recent years, we have made significant breakthroughs, and various venture capital firms have rated our prospects highly.”
“…So what are you trying to say?”
Alice wasn’t interested in the usual corporate financing talk.
Compared to that mess, she preferred to admire… ah, not spy on, admire pretty girls.
Although the company representatives were also good-looking, they still paled in comparison to the maid she had her eye on.
Seeing their invitation flatly rejected, the group quietly slunk away.
