But the mont Tong Mo entered, the bustling party suddenly fell silent.
At that mont, all eyes were on her alone.
Because...
The girl was simply too beautiful today!
She was wearing a water-blue rmaid dress, with a hem adorned with clear, sparkling diamonds, resembling drops of rmaid tears. Under the crystalline light, they shone brilliantly, making her appear suprely elegant and noble, like a rmaid just leaping from the sea.
Tong Mo slightly tilted her chin up and walked in without changing her expression.
Although she seed indifferent, a closer look would reveal her legs trembling subtly beneath her dress hem.
The eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, though born into a wealthy family, had a mother who had beco a vegetative at an early age and a father who did not care for her, so no one had ever taken her to a grand formal party.
So this was Tong Mo’s first ti.
How could she not be nervous?
But nervous as she might be, she hadn’t forgotten her goal for today, which was to find the young Master Li and speak to him about calling off the engagent!
Just as Tong Mo was about to look for him, a noble and elegant lady pulled her aside, "Are you Tong Aiguo’s daughter, Tong Mo?"
Lady Li sized her up and, seeing that she was quite presentable and her hips were wide, likely able to bear a sturdy son for the Li Family, she nodded in satisfaction.
She might have been satisfied, but Tong Mo was not.
Because she felt like the lady was examining a product!
Really!
She is a person!
Not so rchandise that can be picked at will!
Tong Mo was really holding back a storm of anger, and just as she was about to burst, Tong Aiguo already ca over with flattery, saying to Lady Li, "Lady Li is truly strict. This is my eldest daughter, Momo."
"Hmm, not bad, not bad," Lady Li praised a couple of tis, but anyone with eyes could see the disdain in her expressions, clearly not thinking highly of Tong Aiguo.
If it weren’t for her son nearing thirty and still unable to find a partner, she wouldn’t have brought up the casual betrothal agreent made with a friend when they were children.
But she had no choice, she couldn’t let her son remain single any longer.
Most importantly, Viscount Li also showed no displeasure towards this marriage arrangent.
"As long as the lady likes it," Tong Aiguo said, his old face trembling with folds as he smiled.
anwhile, Tong Mo’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
What nonsense is this?
What does it an, ’as long as the lady likes it’?
Is she so kind of plaything?
At that mont, Tong Mo wished she could slam her size 37 shoe onto Tong Aiguo’s old face.
"Lady Li, may I know when sister and young Master Li will officially get engaged?" Just then, Tong Nian, dressed flamboyantly, ca over and reminded gently.
Tong Mo glanced at her, suddenly getting a bad feeling.
Tong Nian would love nothing more than this marriage arrangent to fall on her. Why would she bring up this matter with Lady Li?
Wasn’t that just urging Lady Li to hurry up and help her secure an official engagent with young Master Li?
After Lady Li glanced at Tong Nian and then at Tong Mo, she finally said with a smile, "Momo, I intend to have you and the Viscount get engaged today, oh no, I an married."
"Although you aren’t of legal age to marry here, no worries, I’ve already bought tickets for you both to go abroad. You can just register there," Lady Li continued.
Originally, she didn’t want to rush this, but her son seed particularly fond of this girl and had even asked her to arrange their marriage as soon as possible.
