The Outcast Heiress’s Secret Identities
Chapter 397 - Chapter 397 No one is more qualified than you

Chapter 397: No one is more qualified than you. Chapter 397: No one is more qualified than you. The handsome brows and eyes became even more profound under the light.

“What may I help you with, sir?”

Mark politely nodded towards Su Ran, then performed a state guest salute from Country A, both gentlemanly and elegant.

“Miss Ran, may I inquire whether our humble country might have the honor of inviting you to attend the Nixi Socialite Ball hosted by Country A?”

“…”

“…”

As Mark’s words fell, the entire venue plunged into dead silence.

Su Xinyan’s face lost all color in an instant, looking deathly pale.

Even Huang Yan, who had always been calm and expressionless, finally showed a crack in his composure, nearly unable to maintain it.

Two seconds later, the crowd erupted!

“The Nixi Socialite Club? The one that’s rated as the most luxurious ball in the world?”

“I’ve heard that it only invites thirty top-tier socialites from around the globe every year.”

“Only the creme de la creme of socialites can attend, those from families that rank highest on the Forbes list.”

“Moreover, I’ve heard that aside from family influence, there are various other screenings, and attending the Socialite Club is also a symbol of one’s status.”

“I’m so envious of Su Ran to actually receive a personal invitation from the ambassador of Country A. Did you see the salute he just performed? That’s the highest protocol of Country A and is only used when facing royals and nobility from other countries.”

The Nixi Socialite Club, ah!

That’s the gathering that socialites from every country dream of attending in their lifetime.

Held in the capital of Country A and in the limelight of the whole world, it’s incredibly luxurious.

Fame, status, resources–what’s there not to want!

Mark’s action was completely beyond Su Ran’s expectations. By all accounts, she lacked the qualifications to attend the Socialite Club.

But now…

While Su Ran was surprised, her eyes shimmered with light.

“Mr. Mark, I have also heard of your country’s Socialite Club, but from all aspects, I don’t have the conditions to attend.”

Mark shook his head, his face mysterious.

“No, Miss Ran, no one is more qualified than you to attend the Socialite Club. Please believe in the sincerity of Country A.”

Su Ran hesitated, her gaze sweeping around, only to see people in the front rows nodding at her non-stop.

Especially Mo Shangjie and Ye Zhichen, who almost agreed on her behalf with the expressions on their faces.

She smiled helplessly, and at that moment, Fu Qiyuan’s gaze also fell on her, and he slightly hooked the corner of his lips.

Suddenly, the memory of Mark’s attitude towards the man in the rear garden flashed through her mind.

Her eyes flickered, and the next second, she nodded gently.

“Alright! Thank you for the sincere invitation from Country A and Mr. Mark.”

Her voice was neither hurried nor slow, neither servile nor overbearing!

Her demeanor was calm and composed, exuding elegance!

Mark nodded in satisfaction, and at that moment, he suddenly felt that the decision of that person might not have been mistaken.

He had never seen any socialite from any country who, upon receiving an invitation, could maintain composure and not show the slightest bit of proud or triumphant demeanor.

Afterward, someone glanced at Su Xinyan’s position and said loudly:

“We should also thank certain unhelpful teammates for forcing her on stage at the start, talking about winning glory for the country. Isn’t this winning glory for the country?”

“Yeah, the Nixi Socialite Club! You’ll definitely get to meet royals from different countries there.”

“Right, you might even get the chance to become friends with them!”

“I finally feel vindicated. Some people really can’t recognize treasure from trash, preferring a pile of sand over gold. What were they thinking?”

Huang Yan’s complexion turned increasingly ugly, unable to maintain his calm demeanor any longer, casting a dark glance at Su Ran.

Su Ran bent down and resumed her seat, as people like Ye Zhichen congratulated her with excitement, especially while watching Su Xinyan, who was utterly silent and red-faced, feeling extremely gratified.

Wasn’t she just incredibly smug and arrogant?

The vice chancellor trailing behind also had a face full of gloom, biting his teeth resentfully as he said sarcastically:

“Congratulations, Miss Su Ran. If the Su Family knew about your success, they would certainly be happy for you.”

Ye Zhichen’s expression suddenly darkened. Was this a congratulation?

It was obviously just to add insult to injury, as everyone knew Xiao Ran’s relationship with the Su Family.

Su Ran wasn’t annoyed, though, just slightly lifting her lips in a smile and casting a sidelong glance at him.

“Vice Chancellor Wei, are you also happy for me?”

The vice chancellor nodded stiffly, his voice strained.

“…Of course. This is an opportunity others couldn’t get even if they spent all they have. Cherish it well!”

“Is that so? I thought I had stolen the limelight from the vice chancellor’s beloved disciple, and that you must hate me to death. Seems I was overthinking it!”

The vice chancellor choked, and his face turned abruptly darker!

Without Su Xinyan and Zhao Yiyi causing trouble, the exchange meeting went quite smoothly afterwards.

But because of this, it lacked some fun and had no more climaxes to speak of.

However, tonight was just a simple dinner to warm up for tomorrow when the main theme of the elite exchange meeting would officially begin.

–

The hotel arranged by the International Convention and Exhibition Center was built against a mountain, and directly opposite it, one could perfectly see the Fu Corporation Building.

As a landmark of Yong City, its nightscape was unmatched.

After the dinner, Fu Qiyuan was called away by the chancellor again, apparently to discuss matters related to tomorrow’s exchange meeting.

Su Ran and Ye Zhichen, having learned their room numbers, headed towards the hotel.

On the way.

“Xiao Ran, you really gave everyone a taste of justice tonight, especially seeing Su Xinyan’s ever-changing face. She never learns and always ends up presenting her face for a slap. She’s the kind of person who deserves a lesson.”

“If she could learn, she wouldn’t be Su Xinyan!”

Ye Zhichen chuckled, “True, but are you really going to let her off so easily?”

Su Ran raised an eyebrow and looked up at her.

“Do I look like someone who’s that kind-hearted?”

Su Ran’s voice suddenly dropped colder, sounding sinister against the pitch-black night sky.

“Besides, who said I was going to let her off?!”

Ye Zhichen’s eyes lit up slightly, “What are you planning to do?”

Su Ran curved her lips, answering ambiguously.

“What I do isn’t important, what matters is how she’ll screw up.”

In the hotel lobby, Su Ran and Ye Zhichen each took their room card and headed towards the elevator.

“Xiao Ran, we haven’t slept together in a long time. Come to my room tonight.”

Su Ran glanced at her and said with a smile:

“Why not you come to my room instead?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhichen pouted, “Wouldn’t I risk being thrown out of the room by someone?”

“And you’re not worried about that if it’s your room?”

Ye Zhichen paused.

Well, she was indeed worried.

“Forget it, forget it, I’m doomed to be alone. You better just stay in your room and wait for your President Fu. Be careful though, there’s important business tomorrow, don’t let him drain you!”

Su Ran’s face was covered in black lines, “When did you also start spouting nonsense all the time!”

Ye Zhichen shrugged her shoulders, “I can’t help it, I can’t seem out of place for not being twisted enough to fit in with you guys.”

Su Ran: “…”
