Two years ago.
Jin Family's Old House.
Despite its name, the Old House was anything but modest. It was a grand mansion built by Jin Di's grandfather, one of the earliest symbols of success after founding Jin & Lu Company with his closest friend, a partnership that would later grow into Jin Corporation.
That night, the mansion glowed with celebration. Lanterns and elegant decorations lined the halls and gardens. Luxury cars rolled in one after another, guests stepping out in formal attire. Women wore flowing gowns and glittering jewelry, while men were dressed in immaculate tuxedos.
It was Huang Yuyan's birthday.
She had originally wanted nothing more than a quiet dinner with family and a few close friends.
But her best friend, Bai Huiyue, persuaded her otherwise. A birthday ball, she insisted, would be perfect. Select guests from business and high society were invited, turning the evening into a grand affair.
