After Liu Yan and Li Xiaoru left the recording studio that day, they did go shopping, but they didn't go to Chinatown, they went shopping on Fifth Avenue. Because after Li Xiaoru learned that Liu Yan was going to attend the birthday banquet of the daughter of a wealthy American family, she reminded her that she should wear formal clothes! Liu Yan only brought two sets of Hanfu prepared for the new song, and the rest of the clothes were daily clothes, and she had to buy a dress - on an occasion of fragrant clothes and sideburns, it would be rude not to dress herself well.

The two girls spent an afternoon shopping in luxury stores, and Liu Yan spent a lot of money on a dress, dress, shoes, bags and matching jewelry, as well as simple and commonly used cosmetics. She also thought about whether to wear Hanfu, which is also Chinese-style formal wear, and she could take this opportunity to let American upper-class people understand traditional Chinese clothing, but this idea was dispelled by her just from the beginning. Her clothes have to be kept for the MV, although I don't know if both sets can be used; and for Americans, Hanfu may be a fancy dress, she is unconventional, and it is inevitable that people will be misunderstood to steal the limelight from the owner. For the sake of conservatism, she still follows the local customs and wears a Western-style dress.

The next day, at six o'clock in the evening, Liu Yan sat in a taxi and was about to reach her destination. The location of the Party is an upscale nightclub on the Upper East Side, and the nightclub has a large footprint. It is enough to see how big Maria's birthday party is, similar to a celebrity's small solo singing.

At this time, the places where you can park on the nearby streets have been occupied by all kinds of luxury cars, and the roads are very congested, but there are still luxury cars coming in an endless stream, and groups of patrolling policemen can be seen on the sidewalks on both sides, and the lights of high-end shops along the street shine into Liu Yan's eyes through the window panes, which makes her deeply amazed at how luxurious the life of the rich in the United States is.

Soon you will arrive at the heart of the congestion - the entrance to the nightclub, where every luxury car will stop, and the richly dressed guests will get out of the car, and the car will drive away and the next one will continue.

It was about to be his turn, and the taxi driver turned back to Liu Yan and said, "Thank you, miss, you have opened my eyes." ”

Liu Yan was probably the only guest in the audience who came by taxi, and among the luxury cars, the yellow car was particularly eye-catching, and the security personnel thought that the taxi had entered by mistake, and may have ignored it during traffic control. Unexpectedly, it stopped in front of them, and a yellow girl got out of the car, and the eyes of the people around her fell on her, just like the transportation she was taking, she herself was different.

First of all, there is no doubt that she is very beautiful, but there is never a shortage of beauties on such occasions, not to mention women, men are eager to compete for beauty, and cosmetics and costumes are the most expensive and the best.

This girl is wearing a "general", decent black long skirt, people who know the industry can see at a glance, this dress is XX brand out-of-season model, it was very unpopular when it was first listed, and now it is seven percent off, and it still can't be sold, because the skirt is long-sleeved, it is a round neck, not a deep V that foreigners like, the style is conservative and old-fashioned, but it is particularly suitable to wear on this girl, eye-catching, and caught everyone's attention in an instant.

Her hairstyle was also ancient, with long black hair tied up and combed into a complex bun they had never seen before, with an emerald green hairpin inserted in her hair. Her makeup is also very elegant, only the key parts are applied, the light lip color, the red that ripples out from the lips, the eye makeup is very clean, there is no heavy color of European and American makeup, but it is not dull at all, making her look pure and dignified. What's even more paradoxical is that this girl is obviously a fresh face, but she looks very familiar, which daughter is she?

The greeting man in a black suit at the door stepped forward and politely said to her, "Hello, ma'am, please show me your invitation." ”

Liu Yan turned on her phone, and the invitation was a PDF document. The welcome man was surprised when he saw the name on the invitation, raised his head and glanced at Liu Yan quickly, and said respectfully, "Please come in." ”

"Thank you. ”

In fact, not only the staff were curious about Liu Yan's identity, but the guests before and after Liu Yan also wanted to know who she was. Maria has no Chinese friends, but the Miller family's banquets will always symbolically invite Chinese Americans who are friends with the family or have business dealings to attend.

Under the gaze of all kinds of inquiring, Liu Yan walked into the birthday banquet scene, and it was like walking into the vanity fair of high society, countless blonde and blue-eyed men and women in gorgeous clothes, staggered, talking and laughing, and even the waiters shuttling through the crowd were handsome guys.

Liu Yan stood still, suddenly she didn't know where she should go, her ears were all in English, or mixed with other languages, she was difficult to understand, she felt a little estranged and unfamiliar, this feeling is very intangible, after all, the cultural background is completely different, even the appearance is not the same, people are from similar backgrounds, it is a circle. She also knew that there were a lot of people watching her, and the black hair and black eyes were too conspicuous here, and she had to retreat to a slightly hidden place.

She wondered if she shouldn't have come to this party? She wasn't the kind of person who was particularly good at socializing, and she took the initiative to find strangers to talk to, and she could easily fit into the small group of people.

Could it be that all night, like a fool, she stood in the corner, watching how drunk Vanity Fair was, drinking two glasses of champagne and cocktails, and eating a little bit? She would rather continue to go shopping with Xiaoru.

Thinking so, the waiter really came over with a wine tray and asked her if she needed wine, and the wine on the wine plate was colorful, and Liu Yan was a little thirsty and nervous! She asked the waiter if she had any water. The waiter said no, thinking that this Asian is curious, who would drink water on this occasion! Maria is a drinker, and the main drink of the party she holds has always been only alcohol, even if the amount of alcohol is not good, there are suitable alcoholic beverages, otherwise how could she choose to be in a nightclub, there are endless drinks in the nightclub.

Liu Yan could only take a glass of the darkest liquid in her hand, she thought that the color was dark, equal to the low degree, and the reference liquor was white, she smelled it first, and then took a sip carefully, in a foreign country, in the face of strange drinks, she had better be careful.

As a result, the first few mouthfuls were so spicy that she choked, completely different from the wine and cocktails she had drunk before, she lowered her head and covered her mouth, she was digesting the liquid in her mouth, and the voice in the crowd suddenly became noisy, and the voice was getting closer and closer to her, as if the crowd was rushing towards her?

She looked up in surprise and saw Maria standing in front of her!!

Today's Maria is simply beautiful in the sky, wearing a dark red dress, with her fiery red lips, like a thorny rose, more like a queen, such a powerful aura, looking at Liu Yan, the corners of her mouth raised.
