Chapter 193: Chapter 193: A Bolt from the Blue! Rush to Yanyan to Induce Labor Chapter 193: Chapter 193: A Bolt from the Blue! Rush to Yanyan to Induce Labor Chu Jinghe had attended elite gatherings before, but it was the first ti she truly made it into Shen City’s high society.
In the evening, at the Mu Family’s outdoor banquet, the atmosphere was warm and lively, and the shadows of people mingled. Luxury cars continually arrived at the grand entrance, bringing families in dazzling attire into the fray.
The scene was bustling.
As Mu Jincheng’s official girlfriend and a sowhat famous actress in the entertainnt circle, Chu Jinghe was specifically arranged by Mu Jincheng to welco important guests today.
Because Mu Jincheng was also a celebrity, the invitees included not only other elite figures but also stars from the entertainnt industry.
The main reason for inviting celebrities was his recently established Chenfeng dia Company.
Many artists and their agencies were nearing the end of their contracts; he hoped to use his influence to recruit so of them.
He had no imdiate plans for nurturing newcors.
Instead, he focused on those who were already sowhat famous or erging stars.
To excel, Chenfeng dia had to rely on these individuals.
Not only was Mu Jincheng involved, but Chu Jinghe also had to step forward to help him pull in recruits.
With each arriving guest, Chu Jinghe’s smile grew broader.
Look.
Whether they were elite socialites or actresses, upon entering, they all cast envious, jealous glances at her.
When Qin Dingyue arrived, she couldn’t help but glare several tis at Chu Jinghe, who was dressed in a light pink evening gown.
Pink can be quite selective.
Yet on Chu Jinghe, it fit perfectly.
The light pink gown was form-fitting, accentuating her well-proportioned figure. The very light pink was almost white, crafting a sultry silhouette. Her neck was adorned with sapphire beads, her wrist with a custom gold ornant, and her feet with crystal-embellished shoes, all of which gave off the illusion of a fairy-tale dream.
Her hair was half-up, revealing most of her fair neck.
With such attire, coupled with her not insignificant beauty, she was no less than any of the elite won present.
After greeting and walking in, Qin Dingyue snorted, “What’s there to be so vain about? Yanyan would look hundreds of tis more beautiful in ragged clothes.”
In her heart, Shen Yan was the most beautiful!
“Don’t you realize where we are? Talk less, eat more, no, make your presence felt more in front of the big shots.”
Hearing her mutter sothing offensive, her agent quickly pulled her into the banquet hall.
There were many elite figures and famous personalities from the entertainnt circle present. The agent took Qin Dingyue around.
They encountered many cool receptions.
Qin Dingyue had so fa in the entertainnt circle, but only there.
Among the entertainnt magnates and elites, there was no distinction between Qin Dingyue and a lesser-known star.
Sowhat exasperated, the agent let Qin Dingyue fend for herself with the food, while he himself tried to find an opportunity to mingle.
In such a large gathering, there was bound to be soone who appreciated Qin Dingyue.
Qin Dingyue sighed in relief; she too realized her limited options.
She wouldn’t allow herself to be exploited and never engaged in things that crossed her moral boundaries.
This led to her resources being poached, making her path in the entertainnt field even more difficult than her contemporaries.
Others from Jiji Company her age had reached the top tier.
Yet, she was still barely scraping by.
Holding a dessert, Qin Dingyue made her way out of the banquet hall to the outside lawn.
She chose a dimr, quieter spot to enjoy her food.
Eating was more suited to her.
“Yueyue! You are Yueyue, right?”
Just as she settled at a small table, Qin Dingyue heard soone calling her. Looking up, she saw an elegantly dignified and beautiful wealthy lady observing her with a smiling gaze, almost making Qin choke.
Swallowing a bite of dessert, she looked around and asked, “Are you calling ?”
“You are Qin Dingyue, right?” Gu Ting’s eyes twinkled with amusent at her reaction—she looked endearingly cute!
“Yes, I am Qin Dingyue. And you are?”
“My surna is Gu, and I am Yanyan’s mother!”
“Ah!” Qin Ding Yue quickly got up. “Hello, Auntie!”
After greeting her, Qin Dingyue sized up Gu Ting.
Although this woman was older, her face looked much better than those of thirty-year-old won, exuding elegance and luxury as if surrounded by happiness—a true lady of fortune!
Qin Dingyue tried to find similarities between Gu Ting and Shen Yan.
Gu Ting liked Qin Dingyue more and more!
“I heard Yanyan say she made a good friend and had even t my son, so Auntie couldn’t help but want to et the person. I hope I’m not being too abrupt.”
“Not at all, Auntie. You don’t know how much I like Yanyan,” Qin Dingyue said, her face blushing as she ntioned Shen Yan.
Gu Ting was taken aback and asked, “What do you think of my Ah Zhen?”
“Are you talking about Big Brother? He’s great! When we t, it was as if we were long-lost siblings!”
Long-lost siblings?
No.
Wasn’t Yanyan introducing her boyfriend, not brotherhood?
“Really… Have you thought of Ah Zhen in any other way?”
“Yes! I thought about becoming his little sister,” Qin Dingyue laughed foolishly, “but I feel I’m not worthy of that status.”
“…You just want to be Ah Zhen’s little sister? Nothing else?”
Qin Dingyue fidgeted and shyly whispered, “Well, yes. I’ve fantasized if I were a man, I could marry a good girl like Yanyan. I’d wake up from dreams smiling! But in today’s society… you won’t discriminate against that, will you…”
“…”
Boom!
It was like a bolt from the blue!
Just when she found a daughter-in-law she liked, she fell for her daughter instead?
How to deal with this?
Gu Ting stared at Qin Dingyue for a long ti and finally said dryly, “Auntie isn’t old-fashioned. I support everyone’s choices, but… this path is difficult, Yueyue. Why not reconsider my son? My daughter likes strong and heroic n… Anyway, don’t be sad. There are many good won out there. My Yanyan only has a pretty face, don’t be blinded by appearances. I have sothing else to do, so I won’t disturb you further…”
Seeing Qin Dingyue’s expression growing dimr, Gu Ting felt as if she had co especially to break up a couple, like a wicked mother-in-law from a wealthy family.
Watching Gu Ting flee like a shadow, Qin Dingyue concealed her emotions and turned back to continue eating her dessert.
After Gu Ting had gone, unable to contain her frustration, she called Shen Zheng and started yelling, “Useless pretty face. He’s already 26 or 27, and still no girlfriend. He didn’t ss around when he was young, which quelled our worries, but at his age, he doesn’t even have a woman? Be honest with , have you even held a woman’s hand?”
Shen Zheng: “???”
What set her off?
She was scolding him for no reason.
Thinking of what Qin Dingyue had said, Gu Ting’s face changed drastically, and she hesitatingly asked, “Son… Are you, are you…”
“Not,” Shen Zheng said through gritted teeth, “Your husband burdens with work, I’m as busy as an ox every day. Where do you expect to find the ti to touch a woman’s hand?”
Gu Ting heaved a sigh of relief, “What about the secretary at your side…”
Shen Zheng’s lips twitched, “Did you forget my secretary is a man?”
“What about your assistant?”
“Also a man.”
“Your subordinates.”
“n.”
“Other employees…”
“Mostly male, and the won are married.”
Gu Ting exploded, “Why hire all these darn n? So many people are married, even your sister is married. When will you bring a daughter-in-law ho? You refused arranged dates because you dislike marriages arranged by parents, and you said you’re too busy with work to et girls.”
Shen Zheng: “Should I bring a daughter-in-law ho to make her your sister? Mom, I have a eting to attend, send Yanyan to encourage childbirth, and stop bothering .”
Gu Ting shouted a few words into the phone, feeling helpless about Shen Zheng.
Now it seed the daughter-in-law she almost had had just slipped away.
Then, another worry arose.
Did Qi Si know that Yanyan was universally charming in the entertainnt circle?
