Chapter 1688: Different Treatment
“Isn’t that lady… the real princess of the royal family?”
Everyone snapped back to their senses and hurriedly turned around, only to see a couple walking slowly towards the door.
“Yeah, isn’t that man the CEO of that world-renowned corporation?”
“The Bo Consortium. He’s no longer the CEO, but the lady beside him must be the princess of the royal family.”
“Ah, what a pity. She’s dressed so conservatively that I didn’t recognize her!”
“It’s okay. There’s still time. There will be a chance to see her again. There will be plenty of opportunities to see her at the coronation on New Year’s Day.”
–
The two sisters who were stopped had ugly expressions.
Everyone turned to look at them. Without an invitation, it was equivalent to an uninvited visit. This was a joke.
Even Bailey felt awkward and angry at their ignorance. She frowned slightly.
Because she was usually hypocritical, her expression made people feel pressured.
After all, this was a banquet that attracted everyone’s attention. If they offended the guests or caused any trouble, they would mess up Miss Fina’s birthday banquet. No one would be spared.
There were plenty of people who were gloating and waiting to watch a good show.
Even Bei Xi could sense it, let alone Bei Lei.
“Are you blind? How dare you stop us?”
The two of them looked at each other awkwardly.
At this moment, a few beautifully dressed women came to them and said,
“Yes, you don’t know what’s good for you. The two of them are the most expensive princesses in Country Y. How dare you stop the royal princess from celebrating Miss Fina’s birthday?”
“It’s a great honor for anyone to have a royal princess to celebrate your young lady’s birthday. I think Burgundy should think so too, right? If you dare to stop them, the Burgundy family will bear the consequences. Don’t cause trouble for the Grand Duke.”
“You’re right!”
Someone took the opportunity to curry favor with the two princesses, causing them to look troubled.
“But… our Miss Fina said that she will only accept invitations for her birthday banquet…”
“Yes, this was specially ordered by Miss Fina!”
The two of them spoke frankly.
The people around them understood clearly.
Her words sounded like she was targeting the two princesses.
That was true. Every year, at Miss Fina’s birthday party, the eldest princess, Bei Lei, would shine and steal the limelight. Occasionally, she would bring Princess Bei Xi along.
No one hoped that they would appear.
Although the appearance of the royal princess had brought light to the entire family, the Burgundy family did not lack their favor.
He was the Grand Duke who had assisted the Queen in managing the entire Country Y. Even the Queen had to give him some face. Why would he need the two princesses to support him?
As for the Grand Duke’s favorite granddaughter, she had been noble and arrogant since she was young. There were times when she didn’t want to bother with the two princesses.
However, Queen Yulia had always respected the Burgundy family. Even if they were unhappy, they could only endure it.
But they did not expect that Fina would be so blatantly guarded against them today.
She was a noble princess, yet she was deliberately stopped outside the door. How embarrassing was that?
Hearing someone bootlicking her, Bei Xi raised her chin arrogantly and snorted. She looked at the two of them arrogantly.
“Did you hear that? If you did, move away. Otherwise, can you afford the consequences?”
“Bei Xi.” Bei Lei grabbed Bei Xi and said sternly, “Don’t mess around!”
Bei Xi stomped her feet angrily. “How am I fooling around? They don’t know what’s good for them…”
Bailey pulled her behind her and said to the two of them,
“We’ve been friends with Miss Fina since she was young. I haven’t missed her birthday in the past years, and I don’t want to in the future… We’re just here to celebrate her birthday. We really don’t have an invitation, but… can you ask Duke Burgundy directly? If he doesn’t agree, we’ll put down the gift and leave. At the same time, we wish Fina a happy birthday.”
She stopped and smiled at the two people in front of her. Her words didn’t sound aggressive, but everyone could understand.
What did he mean by asking Grand Duke Burgundy directly? They wouldn’t force him if he didn’t agree to let them in?
He had directly reported the matter to the Grand Duke of Burgundy. How could he refuse when the royal princess had personally come to celebrate his granddaughter’s birthday?
However, this also meant that Bei Lei and Bei Xi had made up their minds to enter tonight.
The two of them hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Alright, we’ll call the Grand Duke now.”
Just as one of them picked up the phone, Bo Jinchuan and Shen Fanxing arrived.
Shen Fanxing handed the invitation to one of them.
“Sorry to trouble you.” Her gentle voice sounded. She was too low-profile with the down jacket wrapped around her, but someone still looked at her.
After all, it was a banquet. Everyone was beautiful and dressed extravagantly. Even if someone wore a jacket, it must be to ensure that they attracted enough attention.
But looking at the way she was dressed now, it was too seasonal.
If not for her, they wouldn’t have felt that they were living in winter.
Taking the invitation from Shen Fanxing, one of them became more humble after reading the contents.
“So it’s Her Highness. Please come in!”
‘Princess?’
Everyone caught the main point. Everyone’s gazes seemed to be focused on her.
The collar of the down jacket was higher and Shen Fanxing’s chin was buried in it. Her eyes were the most noticeable.
Her starry eyes were calm as she leaned in the arms of the tall and strong man with a strong aura. She looked too cute and helpless. She was nothing like the rumored ruthless and ruthless demoness.
She looked too… harmless.
Instantly, everyone lowered their guard against Shen Fanxing and sighed at how easily they believed the rumors.
Even so, they didn’t dare to approach her.
That was because the man beside her had a cold expression that made people shrink back.
Shen Fanxing nodded and was about to enter when her gaze met Bailey’s. There was an inexplicable smile in her eyes.
At this moment, the other person who had called to consult the Grand Duke of Burgundy hung up and walked over to Bailey.
“The two princesses have waited for a long time. The Grand Duke has agreed to let you in.”
The smile on Shen Fanxing’s face widened.
Her smile almost made Bailey give her a tight slap!
