At this time, in the hall, the elegant clothes and shadows on the temples were full of people, talking and laughing, and the elegant atmosphere of the upper class came to my face.
Lin Ning stared blankly at the center of the banquet.
Mu Shaoling's stern brows, with deep mystery, attracted attention. His mother stood in the center holding his father's hand. Mu Shaoling and Ruan Bai accompanied Lin Wenzheng and his wife, looking like a happy "family of four".
mouth".
That scene stung Lin Ning's eyes.
Lin Ning had been looking forward to Mu Shaoling taking a look at him.
But no, from the beginning to the end, he only had Ruan Bai in his eyes, and his affectionate gaze was always staring at Ruan Bai, almost never looking away.
Although the atmosphere was extremely lively, Lin Ning felt extremely cold.
Lin Ning went back to her room and put on something more ladylike and beautiful. When she appeared at the banquet again, it really caused quite a commotion. Lin Ning enjoyed it very much and was also fascinated by this kind of being praised by the stars among the children of the rich family.
The feeling of being surrounded.
She declined the invitations from some men to dance and walked towards Mu Shaoling.
Lin Wen was talking to Mu Shaoling. The more he talked with this young junior, the more he felt that this young man was very courageous. He was so satisfied that he made up his mind to make him his son-in-law.
Zhou Qing spoke to Ruan Bai in a gentle tone. While she lamented the girl's talent, her prejudice against Ruan Bai also changed a lot.
"I'm very happy that Shao Ling can attend Ning Ning's birthday party today." Lin Wenzheng said with a hearty laugh.
As a high-ranking official with his status, he naturally knows that Mu Shaoling rarely attends such banquets. Today, he can attend his daughter's birthday banquet, which has given the Lin family enough face.
Mu Shaoling responded calmly: "Secretary Lin is too polite."
Lin Wenzheng pulled Lin Ning, who was standing aside, in front of Mu Shaoling.
He purposefully wanted to create opportunities for his daughter and Mu Shaoling: "Shaoling, you and Ning Ning have known each other for a while. What do you think of my daughter?"
Lin Wenzheng's mind was almost entirely occupied with political affairs. He was not as delicate as Zhou Qing, and he did not ask any questions about his daughter's emotional ownership. However, he felt that Mu Shaoling should be attracted to her because his adopted daughter was so good.
Mu Shaoling raised her lips with a half-smile: "Secretary Lin, Miss Lin is a very nice person, but Mu already has a heart. Miss Lin should deserve a better man."
Lin Ning looked at Mu Shaoling's handsome and extraordinary face, and when she heard him rejecting her in front of her parents, the pain and hatred surged through her heart, and her eyes were even filled with traces of tears.
Tears.
She subconsciously turned her face away to hide her true thoughts, but the sadness on her face was clearly visible to others.
Lin Wenzheng's face naturally didn't look good when his beloved daughter was rejected in public.
Just when he was about to get angry, Zhou Qing gently pulled his arm and said gently: "Mr. Mu is very talented, but we Ning Ning are not bad either, but in the end, relationships still depend on fate. Wen Zheng, children
If you have your own considerations and choices, we shouldn’t interfere so much.”
Zhou Qing's words made Lin Ning smile extremely reluctantly.
Her lowered eyes seemed to be trying her best to hide some emotion that was on the verge of exploding.
Suddenly, a rough voice broke in: "Master Mu, nice to meet you!"
When Lin Ning heard this familiar voice, her whole body felt like she was being touched by electricity, and her heart was beating wildly. When she raised her eyes and saw Xue Lang appearing in front of her parents, she turned pale with fright.
Xue Lang looked at Mu Shaoling contemptuously, looking him up and down unfriendlyly with critical eyes.
The man Lin Ning likes is this handsome boy?
Except for this face, which is like a crown jewel, tsk, the rest is simply useless!
“Mr.
Xue Lang has been in the army all year round, and his background cannot be underestimated. He is extremely cunning and cunning, and his methods are ruthless. He is like a poisonous snake hiding in secret and waiting for opportunities. He can pounce and bite anyone anytime and anywhere.
Mu Shaoling always stayed away from such people.
Two men who were also standing at the top held their big hands together.
One pair is white and flawless, as perfect as a work of art on display; the other pair has bulging veins, as shocking as dried tree roots.
The eyes of the two men competed in the air, and even Ruan Bai felt an oppressive atmosphere.
She endured the vomiting feeling in her stomach, but still frowned slightly in discomfort.
"Ms. Ruan, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Ning noticed something strange about Ruan Bai. She endured her hatred, came over to support Ruan Bai's arm, and asked falsely: "Do you want to go to the room to rest first?"
Lin Ning was wearing a wide butterfly-sleeved off-shoulder dress. When her arm patted Ruan Bai's back, Ruan Bai only felt a slight pain on his head, as if a few hairs had been pulled out.
She glanced at Lin Ning warily and suspiciously, and saw her blinking a pair of innocent eyes, which seemed to be full of concern for her. Although she knew that she was being hypocritical, Ruan Bai couldn't say anything in front of everyone.
What.
She could only wave her hand to Lin Ning and say, "Thank you, Miss Lin, for your kindness. I'm fine. I'm just a little uncomfortable. I'll just take a rest."
"Not feeling well? Is it possible?" Lin Ning's heart rang with alarm bells, and she immediately wondered whether Ruan Bai was pregnant because of nausea and retching.
Ruan Bai shook his head: "Ms. Lin is overthinking. In fact, it's nothing. It's just that I had a bad stomach at noon. Now I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. I'll just take some stomach medicine when I get back."
She subconsciously didn't want Lin Ning to know the fact that she was pregnant. Not for any reason, just because of a woman's inexplicable intuition.
Intuition told me that if Lin Ning knew that she had a baby, her baby might be unsafe.
Lin Ning felt relieved now, but she still had some doubts and continued to say tentatively: "Are you feeling sick to your stomach? I had a bad stomach a few days ago, so I went to the hospital to get some stomach medicine, and I still have some.
That kind of stomach medicine is very effective. Miss Ruan, I asked Sun Ma to get you stomach medicine. After you take it, your stomach will feel much better. Sun Ma, go get the stomach medicine from the drawer in my room on the second floor, Miss Ruan.
She's not feeling well, let her take medicine first to relieve herself..."
Lin Ning called the nanny Sun Ma who was waiting at the side and asked her to go upstairs to get the medicine, saying that she would not refuse.
Ruan Bai's heart tightened and he couldn't help but clenched his fists: "Ms. Lin is too polite. My health is much better now and I don't need to take medicine. I am very afraid of taking medicine. Even if I get sick, I would rather endure it than take medicine."
.”
The suspicion in Lin Ning's heart became more and more intense. Her tone was very gentle, but with a stern tone that was not negotiable: "How can you do it without taking medicine? You came to our Lin family to attend my birthday party. You were healthy when you came and left.
It must be intact at all times. Even if it's not you, it's the same for other guests."
Her considerateness won a burst of praise from the guests around her. Ruan Bai was really helpless. How could he take medicine casually when he was pregnant?
Seeing Sun's mother about to go upstairs to get stomach medicine, Ruan Bai's nervous heart almost jumped into his throat...
