As the two were talking, a well-trained Waitress in uniform quickly stepped forward to greet them.
She then led them toward Hall 2.
Before long, the two arrived at the entrance of Hall 2.
The interior of this shop named "Chao K" appeared exceptionally high-end, elegant, and classy.
The shop's exterior adopted a modern design style, with huge glass curtain walls reflecting the surrounding lights, giving it a bright and fashionable feel.
Walking into the shop, the spacious lobby was filled with a faint fragrance.
The floor was covered with soft carpets.
Magnificent chandeliers hung from the ceiling, their brilliant light illuminating the entire space.
Artistic paintings hung on the walls, adding a cultural atmosphere.
They walked along the corridor to the door of Hall 2.
Exquisite decorations were placed on both sides of the corridor, each piece showcasing a unique taste.
Pushing open the private room door, lively music rushed toward them.
The lighting inside was dim and soft, creating a romantic and mysterious atmosphere.
Several pairs of men and women were already sitting in the private room, chatting back and forth.
At a glance, the venue appeared to be nearly a hundred square meters.
The interior decoration was clearly meticulously designed and arranged by professionals.
The snow-white and sea-blue roses complemented each other, exuding an elegant and charming aura.
However, when his gaze fell on the prominent anime-themed standee, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
So, Shen Shuang's birthday party was themed after Frozen?
At first glance, it felt like it was specially prepared for an innocent and cute Little Girl like Annie.
After looking around, Jiang Cheng keenly noticed that Lin Yanxi, who they had a friction with in the mall just now, was actually here too.
The moment they stepped into the venue, they happened to see several people gathered around Lin Yanxi.
At this time, Lin Yanxi was complaining indignantly, "Oh, I'm really about to die of anger. If it weren't for the fact that the guy is somewhat handsome, who would bother with him!"
Hearing this, the girl beside Lin Yanxi quickly chimed in.
"Exactly, Xixi, you still have a good temper. If it were me, if anyone dared to humiliate me in public like that, I'd definitely buy something more expensive without a word to slap his face hard, just to let him know that I definitely deserve better and more expensive things!"
Seeing someone echoing her words, Lin Xiyan felt secretly smug.
Her face, however, put on an extremely arrogant look.
She slightly raised her chin, a contemptuous smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, and then replied with a tone full of disdain and mockery.
"Exactly, thinking he's a big deal just because he drives a bugatti. Luckily he didn't scratch my car, otherwise I wouldn't have let him off."
After saying this, she also specifically scanned the reactions of the people around her, seemingly wanting to see recognition and praise for her remarks in their eyes.
Seeing that the expression on Shen Shuang's face was not very pleasant and she remained silent, not participating in the conversation.
The girl who had come with Lin Yanxi sensibly shut her mouth and no longer echoed Lin Yanxi.
Her gaze, however, glanced at the table from time to time, as she pretended to lower her head and seriously look for her favorite fruit in the fruit platter.
Seeing that suddenly no one responded, Lin Yanxi immediately understood what was going on.
She glanced at Shen Shuang and saw her talking to a girl from her school, and Lin Yanxi suddenly felt a bit ignored.
She began to continue complaining incessantly.
She even raised her voice and said:
"I really don't understand, what are some men thinking nowadays? Always pestering those women who are completely unpresentable. You didn't see the girl following that person just now, tsk tsk tsk... she didn't even have a decent piece of jewelry on her hand, looking poor from head to toe, a complete shabby student girl!"
After Lin Yanxi finished saying these words, the air seemed to freeze.
Shen Shuang, who had been keeping silent, her face instantly turned gloomy.
Her originally calm and ripple-less expression was now like a giant stone being thrown in, stirring up layers of ripples, and that hard-to-conceal displeasure surged into her heart like a tide.
The people she invited today were not just her friends she usually had a good relationship with.
There were also many classmates from the same school.
Lin Yanxi speaking so recklessly and deliberately saying such unpleasant things—wasn't it obviously insinuating all of them?
Thinking of this, Shen Shuang's brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep frown.
She turned her head to look at Xu Yan sitting beside her.
She saw that although there was a smile on Xu Yan's face, that smile appeared somewhat stiff and forced.
Shen Shuang reached out and patted Xu Yan, then said to Lin Yanxi, "Lin Yanxi, look at how much jewelry you're wearing, all shiny and golden, what's the use? In the end, he still looked down on you and you still got slapped in the face, and you have the nerve to say..."
These words were like a sharp dagger, stabbing straight into Lin Yanxi's heart.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yanxi jumped up from her seat like a lit powder keg.
"Oh, Shen Shuang, how can you be so heartless! If I hadn't gone to the Dior store specifically to pick out a birthday gift for you, would I have encountered such a frustrating thing?"
Shen Shuang glanced nonchalantly at the exquisite Dior perfume bag on the table.
Then she leaned her head toward Xu Yan.
She slightly raised her slender eyebrows, an imperceptible playful smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
Then she lowered her voice and whispered to Xu Yan, "Who wants her to buy it, hmph, I didn't even invite her today, who knew she would have the thick skin to follow others here..."
After saying that, Shen Shuang suddenly remembered that she couldn't really fall out with her over such a small matter.
She shook her head helplessly, gave a dry laugh to cover it up, and said indifferently, "Hehe, thanks a lot then!"
Although Lin Yanxi didn't see the eye-roll Shen Shuang secretly gave,
Hearing these perfunctory words, she also secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.
Just then, a slight sound of the door opening was heard.
Several people in the room almost simultaneously, like a reflex, quickly and uniformly turned their heads, all looking toward the door.
When they saw that the newcomers were actually Jiang Cheng and Jiang Churan, the faces of Shen Shuang and Xu Yan instantly bloomed with expressions of immense surprise.
In sharp contrast, Lin Xiyan, who was originally relaxed, was now Frozen in place as if an immobilization spell had been cast on her.
You know, just a second ago, she was here unscrupulously badmouthing Jiang Cheng.
It's truly a coincidence that could only happen in a book! Who would have thought that at this very moment, they would run straight into each other so coincidentally!
To be honest, Shen Shuang indeed hadn't invited her today.
Although the two of them had known each other for a long time, their relationship had never been harmonious.
Usually, the two were in a subtle state of looking down on each other but not completely falling out.
She came here today, in fact, more or less with the intention of deliberately annoying Shen Shuang.
But she never expected things to develop so coincidentally.
Jiang Cheng turned out to be a good friend of Shen Shuang.
In an instant, Lin Xiyan couldn't help but feel a burst of panic.
She hurriedly turned her head in another direction, trying her best to act as if she didn't know them at all.
On the contrary, the expression on Shen Shuang's face could not hide her inner joy.
She stood up impatiently and walked straight toward Jiang Cheng and Jiang Churan with light steps.
With a face full of smiles, she asked, "Ranran, why didn't you tell me Jiang Cheng was coming??"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Shuang immediately turned to Jiang Cheng and said with a smile and enthusiasm, "Jiang Cheng, a warm welcome to your prestigious presence~~"
