However, when she heard the system’s mechanical voice reply, she felt it was impossible.

“According to the system’s detection, Muyan Yanshu currently has a favorability rating of only 50% toward you. You need to achieve a favorability rating of 80% or more to complete the task.”

“What?” After getting the system’s reply, Ye Xiyuan almost couldn’t control her expression. “Nangong Xuyao’s mother clearly likes me a lot. How could the favorability rate only be 50%? Did you test it wrong?”

Murong Yanshu had been so cordial to her, so how could the favorability rate be so low? She didn’t even reach the passing line.

The mechanical voice rang out in Ye Xiyuan’s mind again, even more stern this time. “The system’s analysis is never wrong. I hope the host continues to make efforts. If the host continues to question the system’s accuracy, there will be punishments.”

Hearing the word “punishment”, Ye Xiyuan couldn’t help but shiver. Just thinking about the agonizing punishment last time made her feel afraid. “Xiyuan, what’s wrong?” Seeming to sense something off with Ye Xiyuan beside him, Nangong Xuyao asked with concern, “Are you not feeling well?”

Murong Yanshu also looked concerned. “Miss Ye, how about I have someone take you to rest for a while?”

Looking at Murong Yanshu’s concerned appearance, Ye Xiyuan felt a chill in her heart. If it weren’t for the system detecting such a low favorability rate from Murong Yanshu, she might have actually believed that the other party was genuinely concerned about her. It seemed that the women in these major families were not to be underestimated, as even she was almost convinced by that caring expression.

If she was really taken away to rest now, she was afraid she wouldn’t be able to come out of tonight’s banquet anymore. It seemed that gaining Murong Yanshu’s favor really wasn’t easy at all!

“Auntie, I’m fine.” Ye Xiyuan revealed an innocent smile and said, “It’s just that Auntie is so friendly, I felt pleasantly surprised by the warmth.”

Just as they were speaking, a servant rushed in and whispered a few words into the butler’s ear, as if reporting something.

Soon, Murong Yanshu stood up and looked at Nangong Xuyao. “Mr. and Mrs. Huangfu have arrived. Let’s go welcome them now! ”

As one of the four major families, now that Mr. and Mrs. Huangfu had personally come, as hosts they naturally had to personally greet them. As Murong Yanshu spoke, she only looked at Nangong Xuyao and didn’t even mention Ye Xiyuan.

For a moment, Ye Xiyuan felt a bit awkward, as she didn’t know if she should follow or stay in place.

“Xiyuan, let’s go together!” Nangong Xuyao seemed to also notice Ye Xiyuan’s unease. Looking at Ye Xiyuan beside him, he suggested with a smile, “You’re my female companion today, so it’s only proper for you to come along with me.”

Hearing Nangong Xuyao’s words, Ye Xiyuan was very happy. But before she could reply, she was interrupted by Murong Yanshu.

“Xuyao, it might not be appropriate for Miss Ye to join us. The guests arriving now are the patriarch and matriarch of the Huangfu family. So, how should Miss Ye accompany us in what capacity? It might be better for her to wait here for a while!”

After saying this, Murong Yanshu turned to Ye Xiyuan and continued with a smile, “Miss Ye, you don’t mind my arrangement, do you?”

“Of course not, Auntie is right,” Ye Xiyuan said with a smile. “I’ll only feel more reserved coming along, so I’ll just stay here,”

At a time like this, she naturally wanted to go along. But Murong Yanshu had already said it this way, if she insisted on following them, she would only offend Murong Yanshu. Then it would be even harder to gain favor with Murong Yanshu later. Since this was the case, she might as well show herself as decent and magnanimous. She wanted to see if she could gain more of Murong Yanshu’s favor this way.

Nangong Xuyao had wanted to say more, but hearing that Ye Xiyuan was so insistent, he didn’t continue to persuade. However, he still had the butler stay behind to attend to Ye Xiyuan.

Ye Xiyuan watched Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao leave, keeping smiling, and not showing any grievance.

Murong Yanshu’s impression of Ye Xiyuan improved somewhat seeing her tactful behavior. She felt at least this girl knew her own status and wouldn’t pester them unreasonably.

When Ye Xiyuan heard the system report that Murong Yanshu’s favorability rate had risen to 55%, she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced that she had guessed right. At this rate, completing the mission tonight should be possible.

After Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao left, she turned around and looked at the butler with a smile, “Uncle, if you’re busy, you can leave first. I’ll be fine alone.’

After speaking, she beamed sweetly at the butler, looking like a little girl unaware of the ways of the world.

The butler’s expression didn’t change. He continued speaking respectfully, “Miss Ye, since the Young Master ordered me to stay by your side, then my duty now is to take good care of you.”

Seeing the butler’s insistence, Ye Xiyuan didn’t say anything more. Moreover, she felt it might actually be good for the butler to stay with her now.

She had already noticed quite a few young ladies at the banquet were hostile towards her. Now that Nangong Xuyao was gone, those women were ready to make trouble for her!

Of course, she wasn’t afraid of these people. But she had come today with a mission. If the mission failed because of these people, it would be too disappointing. Therefore, with the Nangong family butler present, he could at least deter these people a little.

What was most important for her now was to think of a way to quickly improve Murong Yanshu’s impression of her. Although Murong Yanshu’s favorability of her had risen a bit, there was still some distance from success.

On the other side, Murong Yanshu had already brought Nangong Xuyao to the entrance. They happened to run into Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying coming in. Behind them was their youngest son, Huangfu Ruixiang.

Because Nangong Xuyao’s father, who was also the head of the Nangong family, was overseas for business and couldn’t make it back, everything tonight had to be handled by Murong Yanshu as the matriarch.

After the meeting, everyone engaged in some small talk..
