Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Chu Mengmeng was full of thoughts. The idea of ​​opening a store was growing wildly in her mind like weeds in spring. A few days after Su Mubai left, Chu Mengmeng unexpectedly received an invitation from the Prime Minister's Mansion, inviting her to a banquet.

Although Chu Mengmeng was confused, she thought this was a good opportunity to integrate into the upper class, so she went there happily. She dressed up carefully and put on a light pink dress, which set off her fair skin and exquisite figure, making her look particularly charming and lovely.

On the day of the banquet, guests gathered and toasted each other, making it very lively. Chu Mengmeng sat alone in a corner, tasting the exquisite snacks and observing the surrounding environment.

"Hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of our Chu family? Why is she hiding here eating alone? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Chu Yunyao, wearing a luxurious purple dress, walked over slowly with a sarcastic smile on her face.

Chu Mengmeng frowned slightly, put down the snack in her hand, and replied calmly: "I eat whatever I like, what does it have to do with you?"

"Oh, you have a bad temper!" Chu Yunyao sneered, "What? After being a country girl for a few years, you even forgot the rules? In an occasion like this, you should hide in the corner to avoid being embarrassed!"

"That's right. Don't you realize who you are and whether you are worthy enough to attend such a banquet?" Aunt Zhao also echoed in a sarcastic tone.

The guests around heard their conversation, looked at them strangely, and started to whisper. Chu Mengmeng immediately became the focus of everyone, her face was burning, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Chu Mengmeng bit her lip, feeling ashamed and annoyed. Over the years, she had been looked down upon and ridiculed in the countryside. She finally mustered up the courage to attend the banquet, but she did not expect to be publicly humiliated by Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao.

She took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in her heart. Just as she was about to open her mouth to refute, she heard a clear voice ringing in her ears: "Miss Chu, can I sit here?"

Chu Mengmeng looked up and saw a handsome man in a moon-white robe standing in front of her, looking at her with a smile. This man was none other than the son of the prime minister of the dynasty, Xiao Yichen.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Xiao." Chu Mengmeng nodded slightly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yichen sat down beside her, his eyes swept over the exquisite snacks on the table, but he only tasted them briefly. He noticed a delicate little box in front of Chu Mengmeng and asked curiously, "What is this?"

"This is a snack I made myself. Would you like to try it, Mr. Xiao?" Chu Mengmeng opened the box, and an enticing aroma immediately filled the air.

Xiao Yichen was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Then I'd better obey your command." He picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth. His eyes suddenly lit up and he exclaimed, "Delicious! This taste is so special. I have never eaten such delicious dessert!"

The guests around were also attracted by the aroma and gathered around, curiously asking about it. Seeing this, Chu Mengmeng shared the snacks she made with everyone to taste.

"Wow! This tastes amazing!"

"Yeah, I've never had such delicious snacks!"

"Miss Chu, you are really clever and skillful!"

The guests were full of praise, and even Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao couldn't help but secretly swallow their saliva. Chu Mengmeng looked at the sincere smiles on everyone's faces, and a warm current surged in her heart. She knew that the reason why the snacks she made were so delicious was because she used the golden finger - a modern cooking skill.

Xiao Yichen looked at the confident smile on Chu Mengmeng's face and nodded secretly in his heart. He had heard that the eldest daughter of the Chu family grew up in the countryside and was ignorant of the world. Now it seems that the rumors are not entirely credible. This eldest daughter of the Chu family may not be as simple as she seems.

Xiao Yichen's appearance and affirmation were like a gentle spring breeze that blew away the haze that was hovering in Chu Mengmeng's heart. She smiled at him gratefully, with a sparkling light in her eyes. This gratitude was not only because he helped her out, but also because he did not look at her with strange eyes like others did.

However, the ridicule of Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao was like a sharp thorn that pierced deeply into Chu Mengmeng's heart. She secretly clenched her fists, and her fingertips almost pinched into her flesh. She swore that one day, she would make these people pay for what they said and did!

After the banquet, Chu Mengmeng declined Xiao Yichen's offer to see her off and returned to her yard alone. The night was dark and the yard was quiet, with only the sound of insects occasionally breaking the silence. Chu Mengmeng's heart could not calm down. She kept replaying the scene of the banquet in her mind. The sarcastic words of Chu Yunyao and Aunt Zhao echoed in her ears like a magic sound.

"No, I can't just let it go!" Chu Mengmeng stood up suddenly, with a determined light in her eyes. She was not a soft persimmon that could be bullied. Since they wanted to play, she would accompany them to the end!

A bold plan gradually took shape in Chu Mengmeng's mind, and a sly smile appeared on her lips. Chu Yunyao, Aunt Zhao, just wait, the fun is yet to come!
