Chapter 1581: Chapter 1581: Not That Impressive
However, what everyone was most looking forward to was the brother and sister who were the stars of tonight’s event. Speculation was rife about whom they would choose as their dance partners, as this held special significance. Generally, they would choose someone they fancied, which meant the dance partner could very well become a future boyfriend, fiancé, or husband.
So, all eyes were intently focused on Jun Yuan and Jun Yi, the siblings.
Third Young Master Jun glanced at his son and daughter, smiling as he took Ye Lu’s hand and led her onto the dance floor, beginning to dance to the beautiful music.
Jun Yuan followed, holding an Eastern girl in his arms. She appeared to be of the same age, yet unlike the bold and flamboyant style of Western high society heiresses, she seemed a bit shy and delicate, much like a demure little white flower, with an air of bashfulness.
Earlier, this girl sat quietly as a wallflower at the corner of the banquet, attending such a party for the first time. Everything felt too unfamiliar to her, with no friends around, she could only sit in isolation.
Unexpectedly, a handsome young man appeared before her, smiling as he extended his hand. Being invited by the main figure of the banquet left her both flattered and overwhelmed.
She was still in a daze when he led her into the dance floor.
Jun Yiyi watched in surprise as her brother danced with the unknown girl. Who was this girl? She looked pretty nice, lacking the arrogance and affectation of high society heiresses. That shy and innocent appearance, tinged with helplessness, actually evoked a certain tenderness.
Haha, so this is the type of girl her brother liked—soft, delicate, and petite. Who would have thought!
Since her brother had already entered, it was now her turn to head to the dance floor with Flemming as the third pair.
She exchanged a look with Flemming, who immediately understood and strode over, bowing as he politely extended his hand, excitement and anticipation evident on his face.
The surrounding guests instantly turned all their attention to the two of them, quietly discussing whether this was really the man chosen by the Jun family’s little princess.
It seemed he wasn’t from any prominent upper-class family and had picked a young man of no particular background.
Some couldn’t help but gossip that the Jun family’s little princess was usually so proud and disdainful. Was her chosen companion now not quite up to par?
Those heiresses who typically competed with Jun Yiyi for attention saw Flemming and suddenly felt elated, gathering together with coquettish laughter, their eyes twinkling as they teased and mocked.
"So it turns out all that studying made her dumb. She’s always so arrogant, mocking us for only knowing how to play and follow trends, with that superior scholar demeanor, looking down on us. Now, at her eighteen-year-old debutante ball, she can’t even find a decent family heir to invite her to dance, having to settle for an ordinary man of no repute. How embarrassing."
"Exactly, look at our debutante balls, who doesn’t invite a noble family scion to open the dance? That’s the only thing that proves one’s noble heritage. The look she had when she was coming down the stairs, all high and mighty—it’s laughable now. Such a dance partner is utterly shameful."
The heiresses who hated Jun Yiyi the most covered their mouths and laughed coquettishly, feeling secretly satisfied as Jun Yiyi’s entrance had really stolen the show from everyone present.
They had dressed up intentionally, hoping to outshine her at her birthday banquet.
Instead, they were overshadowed by her, which naturally left them feeling quite put out. Now, seeing that Jun Yiyi’s dance partner was no noble heir, they mocked her even more brazenly.
Jun Yiyi wasn’t oblivious to the derisive laughter of those mean-spirited heiresses.
