At the birthday party, Ruan Bai naturally saw Zhou Qing, who was chatting with a group of noble ladies.
Zhou Qing, with her hair in a bun and a navy blue silk embroidered cheongsam, chatting softly with the ladies, is simply a model of elegance.
To be honest, Ruan Bai had never seen any other woman with such a unique temperament like Zhou Qing.
She obviously looks very noble, but she is not as arrogant as other noble ladies. Instead, she is a bit kind, and her gentleness is wrapped in a bit of majesty.
I don't know why, although Zhou Qing once had a tit-for-tat confrontation with her because of Lin Ning, Ruan Bai couldn't hate her from the bottom of her heart. On the contrary, she even had an inexplicable and close feeling towards Zhou Qing.
"Mrs. Lin is so lucky. Your daughter has grown so big in a blink of an eye. She is really gifted with both talent and beauty!"
"Yes, Miss Lin is gentle, beautiful, and well-educated. I wonder if she has someone she likes now?" One of the ladies, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, asked tentatively.
"No, thank you. Ning Ning is not married yet. If you have a suitable candidate, you can introduce her to my daughter." Zhou Qing said gently.
Zhou Qing knew that Ning Ning was a stubborn child.
Maybe he fell in love for the first time and was fascinated by a man. He felt that Mu Shaoling was someone he could rely on for the rest of his life.
But as someone who has experienced it, she knows that although Mu Shaoling is a rare genius, he does not love his daughter at all.
Marriage without love is extremely painful. Even if Ning Ning gets married, she will not be happy in the future.
Therefore, taking this opportunity, Zhou Qing tried her best to find a good marriage for Lin Ning. She sincerely hoped that her daughter could be happy.
Lin Ning on the side was depressed and unhappy.
She didn't understand Zhou Qing's painstaking efforts at all. She was obsessed with admiring Shaoling. The more she couldn't get him, the more obsessed she became.
She thought that all the men at the banquet, combined, were not as good as one of Mu Shaoling's fingers.
Lin Ning even felt resentful towards Zhou Qing for begging other ladies to introduce her to someone. As expected, she was not her biological daughter and she didn't want the best for herself.
Lin Ning's eyes contained too many negative emotions.
Afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions at the banquet, she quickly drank a glass of juice to relieve herself.
On the goblet that reflected human figures, two figures came together, namely Mu Shaoling and Ruan Bai.
Lin Ning put down the goblet and looked at the man she loved so much. He was protecting Ruan Bai through the crowd like he was protecting his most beloved baby. This made her suppressed anger burn again.
stand up.
The burning jealousy in her eyes was so intense that her whole body was about to explode!
"Mrs. Lin." Mu Shaoling took Ruan Bai, greeted Lin Wenzheng, and then appeared in front of Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing looked at Ruan Bai in a daze.
Ruan Bai wore a simple gauze skirt, light makeup, slender willow eyebrows, a straight nose, and straight hair that turned into big waves. When he looked at her with a smile, his bright autumn eyes seemed to be able to speak.
For a moment, Zhou Qing saw Ruan Bai and seemed to see himself when he was young.
But then she shook her head. This girl was Ning Ning's love rival. How could she think she looked like herself...
What a ridiculous idea.
Mu Shaoling formally introduced Ruan Bai's identity to Zhou Qing: "Mrs. Lin, this is Ruan Bai, the mother of my two children. She will also be my wife in the future, the only wife in this life."
Zhou Qing was slightly startled, but then smiled with relief: "Mr. Mu, there is no need to emphasize this to me. Since you and Miss Ruan are in love, I will only send you my blessings. You can't force matters of love. This is why I
I know better than you young people. Miss Ruan, what I said to you last time was all unintentional, please forgive me. Everyone here is a guest, you don’t have to be formal here, please feel free to..."
Ruan Bai was a little surprised.
Zhou Qing's attitude towards her has obviously improved a lot this time. Although it is related to Mu Shaoling's strong attitude, she does not think that someone like Zhou Qing, who is eager to protect his daughter, will suddenly change because of his defense of her.
.
Lin Ning didn't speak, but her lowered eyes were full of thoughts, and there were tears hidden in her jealousy. She didn't even hear the little sisters around her talking to her.
Only Mu Shaoling's categorical words remained in her mind: "Ruan Bai will be my wife, the only wife in this life."
The only wife?
Ha... Lin Ning smiled sarcastically -.
Mu Shaoling, are you so sure that Ruan Bai will be your wife? It doesn’t matter whether you two will get married or not!
At about 8:30 in the evening, the Lin family's banquet officially started.
As the birthday girl, Lin Ning dressed up like a princess and was loved by thousands of people. She stood proudly next to Lin Wenzheng and his wife.
On the table next to me is a twelve-story exquisite cake.
Lin Ning happily accepted the title of daughter of the Lin family and accepted the birthday wishes from wealthy ladies, their sons, young masters, and young ladies. She was so happy that she could almost bubbling over.
Then, Lin Ning played a famous piano piece for everyone.
Amid the stars, she walked onto a small, temporary, circular stage, wore white gloves, sat in front of a valuable piano, and started playing.
Lin Ning was a little nervous at this time, even more nervous than when she went on stage to receive the award after winning her first acting award, because the man she loved so much was there.
She adjusted her mentality and started playing the piano.
I have to say that despite her acting flaws, Lin Ning still has a certain amount of talent when it comes to musical instruments, especially the song she plays, "Swan Lake", which she is best at.
After the song ended, the audience burst into warm applause, and there were endless compliments and compliments.
Mu Shaoling hugged Ruan Bai, sat in a corner and poured a glass of hot milk for Ruan Bai, while he drank a glass of red wine.
"She plays the piano well." Ruan Bai commented objectively.
Although she can't play the piano, she still feels that this piece of music played by Lin Ning is beautiful and moving.
Mu Shaoling was noncommittal and just tapped Ruan Bai's nose: "My piano skills are good, but I lack spirituality. It's okay to participate in competitions like this, but it's difficult to advance to a higher level."
Ruan Bai smiled and said nothing.
She thought, this man knew enough, could he still play the piano?
But thinking about his comments, they seem to make sense, maybe he really knows how to do it.
Zhou Qing felt very proud to have such an outstanding daughter. Lin Ning bowed humbly to all the guests, arousing everyone's favor.
Suddenly, Lin Ning walked up to Ruan Bai elegantly, holding a white dress, and said softly: "Miss Ruan, I heard that you play the piano well, why don't you perform a song for everyone?"
