A groom selection? Ran Xueyi did not expect his answer and asked, "That's interesting."
If other people heard of this, they will think that Cao Yujin became Prince Charming looking for his Cinderella. The only difference in this is that she's definitely not looking for a poor and commoner prince to marry since almost everyone here could not be associated with the term 'poor'.
Song Yongrui raised his brow and said, "You think so, too? When I first heard it from my mother, I laughed for half a day. I don't know what my cousin or my grandfather was thinking when they decided to hold an event like this in the party, but I guess they're worried that she'll remain single forever."
Ran Xueyi thought that it was surprising to hear that Cao Yujin would remain a single woman forever when she absolutely expressed her thoughts about Song Yu Han.
She clearly didn't hide her obsession towards him either.
Ran Xueyi faintly said, "It would be better if she remained one for eternity."
Her voice was soft and not too loud. However, Song Yongrui who was standing very close to her still heard it.
At his frown, Ran Xueyi smiled sweetly and added, "Your cousin should be a wonderful person seeing how amazing you are. I think it'd be a waste for her to get married to a man."
Thinking of his overbearing and arrogant cousin, Song Yongrui couldn't help but nod his head. What she said was right. Cao Yujin couldn't be tamed by any man. Besides, it'd be better if she remained unmarried so that no one else could share the inheritance that they could get from their grandfather.
When Cao Yujin married, her husband and children would automatically get some shares once Old Patriarch Cao passed away.
But how could Song Yongrui avoid that from happening?
Song Yongrui didn't know that he had just been trapped into Ran Xueyi's snare. Unfortunately, he was unable to detect it because of her sweet smile.
As they walked closer into the center of the venue, the number of people standing around increased. Some gave way for the pair, while some didn't even turn around and blocked them.
When they walked, Song Yongrui continued to flirt with her. He kept his hand on her back while he merrily spoke. Ran Xueyi didn't intend to chat with him, only smiling in return to his words. In other people's eyes, they seemed to be in a close relationship.
But in truth, it was completely one-sided.
Finally, Song Yongrui noticed someone he knew and greeted them.
Song Yongrui said casually, "This is a friend from my school, Li Leng."
The person who was suddenly introduced to her nodded his head and said, "Nice to meet you."
Ran Xueyi smiled back and said, "Nice to meet you, too. My name is Ran Xueyi."
"You don't mind if I take Yongrui from you for a minute, right?" Li Leng asked as if he needed her permission.
Song Yongrui glared at his friend, but he expectantly looked at her to see if she was willing to let him go.
Ran Xueyi waved her hand, "Please take your time."
Unexpectedly, Ran Xueyi didn't cling to him and really left them.
"What's wrong with you? I thought your mother told you to stand outside? Are you not afraid you'll be grounded again by your grandfather?" said Li Leng and bumped his shoulder.
"Wait, don't tell me you escaped because of her?" Li Leng added when Song Yongrui's eyes were still glued on Ran Xueyi's back.
Very reluctantly, Song Yongrui looked away from her and replied: "So what if I am? She's worth it. Did you see her eyelashes? It's so thick and long like the wings of a cicada. Her waist is also so thin, I can barely hold it in one palm."
Hearing him say this, Li Leng had goosebumps before he reminded him, "You're not thinking of pursuing her, right? She could be some girl who just wanted to latch on a big thigh."
Song Yongrui smugly grinned and said, "It's better if she did that. Then, I can have my way with her and know what she tastes like."
Li Leng ran a hand into his hair and asked, "After you're done with her, can I have her?"
Song Yongrui laughed, "See, even you can see her worth. Well, I guess I can share her after I'm done with her."
Song Yongrui and his group of friends were all scumbags. They just didn't know and didn't want to admit to this. However, what they liked could be passed around. Even their ex-girlfriends were not spared from this kind of ritual.
Standing in one corner, Ran Xueyi frowned in disgust. She already left the two of them yet, due to her sticking a spy recording audio the size of a button on Song Yongrui's back, she could clearly hear what they're talking from their end.
When a passing server walked in front of her, she took one of the flutes filled with champagne and chugged it to wash away the disgusting feeling of being lusted by these two scumbags.
She already expected Song Yongrui's nature couldn't be good since he's Cao Huiling's son. But she didn't imagine he could be this rotten.
How could he and Song Yu Han be so different when the two lived in the same house for a few years?
And Song Yongrui thinks he could outstand her husband with his non-existent skills?
Ran Xueyi felt the need to take off her dress and burn it. She especially didn't like the feeling of Song Yongrui's hand on her back. But alas, she couldn't leave until her goal was achieved.
When another server passed by, Ran Xueyi stopped him and asked, "Excuse me, where's the restroom?"
"It's on the left side of the stage. There's also one on the right side, but the left one is closer," the waiter provided.
Ran Xueyi thanked him briefly before taking off to the direction of the restroom. Once she was inside, she saw three other women in elegant dresses, who were retouching their makeup.
Their heads turned when Ran Xueyi entered the door. But their eyes didn't linger on her as they busied themselves again.
