Chapter 479: Chapter 479: Dinner at the President Mansion (6)
Su Zixi was at a loss for words.
However…
She subconsciously cast her gaze towards the distant cold and mocking figure. Did this Master Shen… truly detest Ning Ruixin?
Ning Ruixin noticed her gaze and smiled lightly, “Little girl, if you keep stealing glances at other n during the banquet, be careful, or I’ll tell your husband.”
Su Zixi’s face turned red, “I wasn’t stealing glances!”
She was just purely curious about the strange atmosphere between Ning Ruixin and Master Shen.
“It’s fine, take your ti looking. I won’t tattle,” Ning Ruixin said generously with a wave of her hand.
Su Zixi found herself sowhere between wanting to cry and wanting to laugh.
“Hey, is that soone coming over for you?” Ning Ruixin suddenly nodded towards a certain direction.
Following her direction, Su Zixi had the sudden thought, “As expected, they’ve co!”
Ye Shutong, dressed in an evening gown, elegantly made her way over with a gentle and refined male companion.
“Young Mistress He, Miss Ning,” Ye Shutong greeted with an exceptionally kind smile, “I didn’t expect you two to know each other.”
Ning Ruixin snorted lightly, “More than know each other, I consider Zixi as my sister.”
Ye Shutong’s smile deepened, “Is that so? A person valued by Miss Ning must be extraordinary.”
“Of course,” Ning Ruixin said with a smile, “but a woman held in the heart of He Jingyao must be even more extraordinary, don’t you agree, Miss Ye?”
Su Zixi had been on high alert upon the appearance of Ye Shutong, but seeing Ning Ruixin so formidable, there was no need for her to say a word, as Ruixin had already left Shutong speechless.
However… for so reason, the man beside Ye Shutong kept staring at her, as if he wished he could X-ray her from the inside out, which made Su Zixi feel very uncomfortable.
Ye Shutong paused and then smiled faintly, “Is that so, how co I don’t see Mr. He accompanying the Young Mistress personally?”
“My husband’s position is particular, and his sudden appearance in such a setting would inevitably cause a sensation,” Su Zixi replied with a smile, “I’ve just arrived in Yangdong City and have never attended a banquet at President Mansion, so I simply wanted to join in the fun. By the way, I haven’t thanked Miss Ye for the invitation.”
Ye Shutong’s pupils contracted slightly, and after a long while, she smiled aningfully, “You’re welco. I hope the Young Mistress has a delightful ti.”
Just then, a commotion ca from the entrance of the banquet hall.
Ye Shutong’s eyes lit up, “It’s my aunt!” She looked apologetically at Su Zixi and Ning Ruixin, “I’ll go say hello, please excuse .”
With that, she decisively left her male companion behind and headed towards the entrance.
Due to the arrival of the President’s wife, the entire banquet hall was abuzz, but only a handful of people had the privilege to approach her, and Ye Shutong was clearly one of them.
“Tsk…” Ning Ruixin humd disdainfully, “This woman, relying on her status as the niece of the President’s wife, always tries to ingratiate herself whenever she gets the chance. Your husband specifically warned not to let her get close to you… Could she be coveting your husband?”
Su Zixi was happy to speak ill of her rival, “Yeah, but unfortunately, she doesn’t stand a chance.”
Ning Ruixin burst into laughter, patting her on the shoulder, “You said it!”
Su Zixi watched as the President’s wife was quickly surrounded by ladies and misses from various families. She had no choice but to abandon the idea of greeting her for the ti being.
Nevertheless, Su Zixi soon caught sight of another familiar figure, “Su Lianxi? Why is she with the President’s wife?”
