After they sat down, Anna handed her a gilded invitation, half joking and half serious as she said, "Here, I sold my charms to get this for you. Take it."
Xiao Yu stared at the invitation on the table, but didn't reach out to take it for a long while. "Anna, I'm really not in the mood to go to any party right now. I'm planning to go to the Royal Consort Residence again this afternoon and try my luck. Maybe I'll run into Steward Mo."
Anna said, "Someone like Steward Mo isn't the kind of person you can just 'run into' because you say so. And this isn't some ordinary party. It's a cruise gala held by Gong Group. Rumor has it Gong Ting will be attending that night. You know these past few years, wherever Gong Ting is, Steward Mo is there too. If you don't want to come into contact with Gong Ting, you can still look for a chance to get close to Steward Mo."
Xiao Yu's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Anna. You're the kindest, greatest friend I'll ever have in this lifetime."
