Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The other party was standing towards the back, so there was not much light shining on her. Only the gentle moonlight and rain imparted her with a hint of radiance.
When the woman shouted just now, everyone could not help but look over. ng Chuyuan’s gaze subconsciously locked onto that familiar face. The two of them were caught off guard and looked at each other.
However, the other party quickly looked away. She raised the glass in her hand and took a sip of red wine.
ng Chuyuan had seen the noble ladies in front of her on Lin Youjuan’s video call last ti. She had a deep impression of the slightly plump noble lady. The video call ended awkwardly that ti. She did not expect to see them walking over with a smile.
When they walked over, the chubby lady teased, “Juan, you’re finally willing to bring your daughter-in-law out for us to et.”
Lin Youjuan looked up at the young woman behind her and raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you bring your daughter-in-law out too?”
“How can that be the sa?” The rich lady waved her hand, and there was a hint of bragging in her tone. “She’s a guest specially invited by Mrs. Li. She’s going on stage to perform later.”
Mrs. Li was today’s birthday girl and the female lead of this banquet.
The rich lady’s words just now implied that ng Chuyuan did not receive an official invitation and only ca with her mother-in-law, Lin Youjuan.
However, the beautiful figure that caught ng Chuyuan’s attention just now was this noble lady’s daughter-in-law, Liao Jiake.
She was wearing a light pink dress and her hair was tied into a bun. She also had a silver headband on her head. Under the contrast of her exquisite makeup, she looked very gentle.
ng Chuyuan had noticed Liao Jiake from the beginning, but she did not expect her to be the daughter-in-law of that rich lady.
Third Aunt Zhao said, “Sister Lan, this is your fault. Why didn’t you say so earlier? We thought you were bringing your daughter-in-law out to see the world. So it was Mrs. Li who invited her to perform.”
“She’s the mystery guest tonight. There won’t be any surprises if I tell you. On account of our many years of friendship, I told you in advance.”
ng Chuyuan’s lips curled into a faint smile. She said bluntly, “What a surprise.”
How could anyone make bragging sound so pleasant? It was as if they were looking forward to it.
“Right?” Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law felt that her words had worked and was imrsed in her own world.
Hence, she turned around and called her daughter-in-law over. Then, she introduced Lin Youjuan to her. “Ke Ke, this is your Aunt Juan. I don’t need to introduce the person beside her. You guys are filming a variety show together, so you should be more familiar with her than .”
Liao Jiake glanced at Lin Youjuan and greeted her politely. Then, she looked at ng Chuyuan and greeted her with a lowered head.
ng Chuyuan did not wait for Lin Youjuan to introduce them one by one. She took the initiative to say, “Hello, aunties. I’m ng Chuyuan. Just call Little ng. ”
The noblewon were inexplicably happy when they heard this. They praised
Lin Youjuan openly, “Juan, your daughter-in-law is really not bad. She’s good-looking and has a sweet mouth. No wonder everyone likes her!”
After ng Chuyuan arrived, she was pestered by a few rich ladies. Out of curiosity, they asked her many questions, and so even wanted to take a photo with her.
Liao Jiake did not receive such treatnt from them because her mother-in-law often brought them to her house to play. Everyone had seen her many tis, so she took this opportunity to leave and prepare for the performance later.
Seeing these old foxes pestering ng Chuyuan, Lin Youjuan felt a little lonely. After a while, Lin Youjuan couldn’t help but say, “Alright, don’t scare her.”
Third Auntie Zhao: “How are we scaring her? We were just chatting with her for a while.”
At this mont, the gentle music suddenly stopped. A voice sounded, informing everyone that the banquet was about to begin. Everyone, please move to the hall to watch the performance.
When Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law heard the announcent, she said proudly,
“My daughter-in-law is going to play the piano later.”
ng Chuyuan raised her eyebrows slightly and asked calmly, “Aunt Lan, when
I was chatting with you last ti, why didn’t you ntion that Sister Ke Ke is your daughter-in-law?”
She was a little curious. Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law loved to show off, so why didn’t she ntion this in the video chat last ti?
“What’s there to ntion? I never thought of letting her join the variety show.”
That was a show that Liao Jiake had signed on her own accord. She even said that her sister had already agreed to it and that it was not appropriate to reject it. In addition, Xu Zeyi had spoken up for her, so she could only reluctantly let Liao Jiake film the variety show..
