    In the capital, girls from the four great families were not people that ordinary families had the


    confidence to marry. So, the girls would mostly marry partners from within the four great families. But a


    few still married into wealthy and noble families.


    Even then, there were no exceptions. These girls were all either married to the eldest sons or the future


    leaders of the respective families.


    After all, with the support of the four great families, their husbands would definitely be the future leaders


    of their families.


    But in all influential families, how could there not be anypetition?


    People like Chu Cimo who were not keen topete were simply too rare.


    However, once this was the case, people would feel that they had to either marry someone from the


    four great families or not marry at all.


    At this moment, the Chu Family could only be considered a new noble family in the capital.


    However, Bai Shanshan’s status was special, and she married Chu Cimo first before getting


    reacquainted with the Bai Family. This was the first time such a case had ever happened in the capital!


    So, even if Bai Shanshan had no intention topete, her presence would still pressure Shen Ruojing.


    At the very least, this was so from the viewpoints of outsiders.


    For example, right now, the butler was considering the problem of the seating arrangements and had to


    decide whether Bai Shanshan was seated before Shen Ruojing or behind her…


    As the butler sighed, Shen Ruojing waved her hand and spoke in a nonchnt manner, “I can simply


    sit at the second table.”


    After all, she had no ns to be the Matriarch of the Chu Family.


    Herpany was already handed to Lu Hui, and she was living her life of retirement just fine. Why


    would she find things to trouble herself with? In the future, if Bai Shanshan became the next Matriarch


    Chu, wouldn’t Shen Ruojing be able to rx?”


    “No way!”


    “Absolutely not!”


    Bai Shanshan and Matriarch Chu’s voices rang out in the same instant.


    Matriarch Chu frowned. “You are Cichen’s fiancee. No matter what, this status of yours is immovable!”


    Bai Shanshan also spoke, “Sis-inw, I have only the utmost respect for you in my heart. You cannot


    sit behind me! I will sit at the second table, so you have to sit at the first table!”


    Bai Shanshan took the initiative to say this. Just when Matriarch Chu was about to agree, the butler


    suddenly spoke, “I’m afraid this can’t be done. Second Madam, you don’t simply represent the Chu


    Family at the banquet; you are also representing the Bai Family’s prestige. People from the four great


    families would have to sit at the main table no matter what. This is the rule in the capital. If you broke


    the rule because of this, it would seem like our Chu Family is smacking the Bai Family’s face. At that


    time, both the Chu and Bai Families’ prestige would be damaged. Not only would everyone mock us for


    being country bumpkins, but the Bai Family would feel ashamed as well.”


    At that time, Matriarch Bai would definitely feel awkward, not being able to lose her temper or keep her


    calm.


    Matriarch Chu spoke, “We are originally outsiders here, so why don’t we just do things ording to our


    rules in Sea City? Jingjing has to be seated at the main table! This matter is fixed.”


    Bai Shanshan blushed due to anxiousness when she saw them being troubled over this matter. “I…I’m


    not considered a member of the Bai Family as I didn’t grow up there. Even now, I have not


    acknowledged grandmother, so we should just do things ording to the rules of Sea City. I’ll sit at the


    second table!”


    Her eyes were red. “I cannot allow elder sister-inw to feel aggrieved because of me.”


    Shen Ruojing was her benefactor.


    If there was no Shen Ruojing, Bai Shanshan most probably would have been drained dry by that family


    of vampires and wouldn’t know the truth forever.


    So, in Bai Shanshan’s heart, Shen Ruojing was much closer to herpared to the Bai Family.


    Matriarch Chu immediately looked at Bai Shanshan. “No need for that! We will simply add one more


    chair! Even if it is unsightly, so be it. Let’s handle it this way!”


    Matriarch Chu tyrannically returned the invitation list to the butler. “Just do things ording to my


    instructions.”


    When the butler saw how determined the matriarch was, she couldn’t help but nce at Shen Ruojing,


    hoping that Shen Ruojing could take the initiative to take a step back. After all, it would truly be


    unsightly for there to be an additional chair at the main table.


    However, Shen Ruojing basically didn’t care about these things. She felt that they should just listen to


    Matriarch Chu since she had decided.


    Rules were made by humans. Since the Chu Family were the ones who sent out the invitation, they


    naturally should be the ones to set the rules.


    The butler silently sighed after seeing Shen Ruojing not saying anything. She then turned and left.


    After settling the seating arrangement issues, the butler still had to handle many things.


    Madam Yun then brought Yun Wei to purchase things needed for the wedding, while Matriarch Chu


    was responsible for arranging every detail of the banquet.


    As for Shen Ruojing, she went upstairs to rest.


    During the afternoon, someone knocked on her door.


    When Shen Ruojing opened the door, she saw the butler standing before her. “Miss Shen, I’ve gotten a


    few top-tier brands toe here to provide clothes for everyone. They have arrived, so do you want to


    take a look?”


    Shen Ruojing helplessly nodded. “Sure. Where? Bring me for a look.”


    The butler then led the way and brought Shen Ruojing to a reception room.


    After entering, she discovered that there was no one inside.


    The butler also hesitated. “Where are the brands?”


    A servant who was inside the room cast an awkward look at Shen Ruojing. “They said they are going to


    measure Second Madam’s size and let her try on the clothes first. They… they want M…Miss Shen to


    wait for a while.”


    The butler. “…”


    Her heart sank and felt that things were over.


    Any ordinary person would be angry because of this.


    Hence, the butler quickly looked at Shen Ruojing, only to see her turning and walking out. “Which room


    is Shanshan in? I’ll do it together with her, and we can mutually give each other some advice.”


    The butler immediately heaved a sigh of relief.


    At the same time, she involuntarily sighed in her heart.


    Just looked at it.


    Miss Shen’s calmness must be faked. But what else could she do? Her background was inferior to Bai


    Shanshan’s, and if she made a fuss here, both parties would look bad.


    The butler suddenly felt some heartache at what Shen Ruojing had to ‘tolerate’.


    Shen Ruojing, whopletely didn’t have such thoughts in her mind, found it strange as she faintly


    sensed pity in the butler’s gaze when looking at her.


    Shen Ruojing. “…”


    She went to Bai Shanshan’s room and knocked on the door. After entering, all the brands were indeed


    inside, and Bai Shanshan was staring at the clothes and photos they brought over.


    After seeing Shen Ruojing, she immediately spoke, “Sis-inw, can you choose for me? Quickly advise


    me.”


    Shen Ruojing calmly walked over and looked at the brands.


    One of the brands had a white dress that looked very suitable for Bai Shanshan.


    Shen Ruojing pointed at that as she spoke, “This one isn’t bad.”


    Bai Shanshan nodded. “I feel the same too.”


    After that, Bai Shanshan looked at a red dress from the brand named ‘Lada’. “Sis-inw, this one suits


    you.”


    “Is that so?” Shen Ruojing nodded. “Let’s finalize things then. You will wear white and I’ll wear red.”


    If it wasn’t a Chu Family’s banquet, she couldn’t be bothered to wear such formal clothes.


    The two of them casually finished selecting their clothes. After that, the brands had to take their


    measurements. The brand that was selected by Bai Shanshan was working assiduously to do so.


    Shen Ruojing then walked to the ‘Lada’ brand manager, and just when she was about to lift her arms


    for the measurement, the manager ignored her and even red at her. After that, she walked toward


    Bai Shanshan and spoke ardently…


    “Madam Bai, why don’t you look at more clothes from our brand? We have white dresses too. As for


    that red dress you chose earlier, we can also change it to white color for you…”


    These brands werepetitive as well.


    They were all top brands, and if nobility wore their dresses, it would make the brand’s image rise


    further. But if someone with no status wore them, it would only diminish their brand’s image.


    Celebrities might beg to be the spokesperson for these brands, but when facing a truly influential


    family, these brands would always be the ones begging.


    The Bai Family’s estranged granddaughter was finally found. This matter would be a popr topic


    in the capital sooner orter.


    If the manager could get Bai Shanshan to wear an article of clothing from their brand at the banquet, it


    would be considered a free advertisement for the brand! Hence, these brands all put in a lot of effort


    today to get Bai Shanshan to choose them.


    This was why when the butler told them to wait in the reception room for Shen Ruojing, these people


    took matters into their own hands and came to look for Bai Shanshan directly.


    Upon hearing this, Bai Shanshan’s face turned red, and she cast an embarrassed look at Shen


    Ruojing. “I chose this red dress for my sister-inw.”


    The brand manager of Lada immediately spoke, “Pardon me for being blunt. This dress isn’t suitable


    for Madam Shen. Her demeanor doesn’t match the concept of our brand…”
