For ordinary people, the first day of the Lunar New Year is a time to visit relatives and friends.
But for the upper class, this day is played out in a completely different way.
Instead of visiting relatives, they attend countless lavish banquets—charity galas and more.
In short, these occasions are all opportunities for wealthy wives to show off their husbands' fortunes.
As a member of the elite circle of wealthy wives, Cecilia Gu naturally couldn't avoid these events.
Several ladies had already sent Cecilia Gu invitations days in advance, asking her to attend one banquet after another.
In the past, Cecilia Gu would decline these gatherings whenever she could. But during the Spring Festival, she couldn't refuse, because the host was none other than Mrs. Kerr.
Given the generations-long friendship between the Yin Family and the Kerr Family, as the Yin Family's young mistress, Cecilia Gu absolutely couldn't turn down Mrs. Kerr's invitation.
Otherwise, people would start speculating about a rift between the Yin and Kerr families, which could have serious negative consequences for both.
So Cecilia Gu declined other invitations and happily accepted Mrs. Kerr's.
