Chapter 245: Embarrassnt
“Ou family?” Ning Qing took the invitation. “I haven’t seen Xiaofu and Luo Xi for a long ti. I have nothing going on tonight. Let’s go and see them.”
...
In the evening, at Shengshi City
Ning Qing wore a short sleeveless dress. The dress was simple and elegant, and it tightened at her waist below her chest. The pleated skirt covered her belly. It was a Korean style.
This skirt was not prominent in style, but the color was bright yellow, embroidered with dragon totems. Normal people would not be able to wear this kind of bright and vivid color, but Ning Qing had exquisite facial features and skin as fair as snow. It was as if this dress had been customized for her. It complinted her, making her more beautiful and shining, and it attracted a lot of attention as soon she appeared.
The dia flocked towards her, and several pictures were taken of Ning Qing. At this ti, she heard, “Ning Qing.” Yin Shuiling ca over.
Ning Qing was instantly surprised. She hadn’t expected to et her here.
“Shuiling.” She jogged over.
Yin Shuiling quickly grabbed her little hand and looked her up and down. “Ning Qing, don’t run around when you’re pregnant. Be careful of your child.”
Ning Qing covered her mouth and smiled, “Shuiling, why are you like my mom and Xiao Zhou? I can’t move anymore. They ask to be careful of the child every ti I move.”
“Of course. The child is very vulnerable.” Yin Shuiling looked down at her abdon and stretched out her hand slowly to touch her belly.
But she retracted her hand before she could touch it.
However, her little hand was held in the air by Ning Qing. She looked up, Ning Qing’s eyes were bent in a smile, as she looked at her with a warm face and said, “Shuiling, touch it if you want.”
Ning Qing put her little hand on her stomach.
Yin Shuiling looked down and felt a bulge under her hand where an innocent little life was brewing.
Suddenly the tip of her nose soured. She quickly pulled back her hand and turned around.
Her eyes were starting to fill with uncontrollable tears, and she looked up.
She saw a man from the corners of her eyes, Yin Muchen. He had one hand in his trousers pocket and was holding his goblet in another hand. He was surrounded by a group of people who treated him with respect. His gaze was lowered as he talked, like an elegant gentleman.
He did not look at her.
Yin Shuiling’s small shoulders were suddenly embraced. Ning Qing had hugged her shoulder and laughed softly. “Shuiling, the past is over. You are only 21 years old, and you will have other children in the future.”
“Yes.” Yin Shuiling blinked for two seconds and looked up again with a languid, cool look. She took Ning Qing’s little hand. “Ning Qing, let’s go, I’ll bring you to eat so delicious food. Just now, I found two kinds of tasty snacks. You will like them.”
Ning Qing ate the mung bean pastry that had been stuffed into her little hand by Yin Shuiling and looked around as she ate. “Shuiling, have you seen my good friends Xia Xiaofu and Ou Luo Xi?”
“Ou Luo Xi? He will not co to such events. But I did see Xia Xiaofu. Just now, Ou Ze, the eldest son of the Ou family, seed to be quarreling with her. Ou Ze said sothing about the engagent. Xia Xiaofu was very angry. She also asked him if he could not understand words. They had already broken up.”
“Oh.” Ning Qing frowned slightly, a little worried.
Just then a delicate pastry appeared in her little hand, and Yin Shuiling pointed to her fair little finger at her temple as she said, “Ning Qing, eat your food. You might as well worry about yourself if you want to worry about others. You are already three months pregnant. Where’s Lu Shaoming?”
Ning Qing stamped her feet with anger. “Shuiling, can you stop bringing up the wrong thing?”
Yin Shuiling rolled her eyes at her, but instead of throwing out a “no” as before, she said, “Alright, for the sake of your pregnancy, I won’t ntion it for the ti being.”
Ning Qing: Thank you.
...
Ning Qing ate two pastries. She wanted to find Xia Xiaofu. Then there was a scene near the door. The nobles of T city had gathered at the door, and the dia rushed over.
“Which important man is coming? He’s creating such a scene.” Yin Shuiling laughed.
As they spoke, two people ca in and the caras clicked one after another.
Ning Qing’s pupils shrank. One of them she knew, and she knew her very well. Her mother-in-law, Song Yajing.
And the other person, she knew who it was just by looking at her face, it was Kong Lan, Zhou Zhilei’s mother. Kong Lan was well maintained and elegant in dress and speech. She ca in with Song Yajing. They were like sisters.
Ning Qing had long heard that the Lu and Zhou families were family friends, and they had a lot of feelings for each other.
Song Yajing and Kong Lan ca in, and the top officials in T City bowed respectfully. “Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Zhou...”
Song Yajing and Kong Lan smiled.
At this ti, the dia reporters jokingly asked, “Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Zhou, this is your first appearance together in T City. The two families are not only powerful and influential, but they are also very close. You must have a very good relationship.”
Song Yajing nodded and laughed. “Yes, the Lu and Zhou families have had a good relationship for many years. My Shaoming and Zhilei had also grown up together as children. They are childhood sweethearts.”
“What the f*ck.” Yin Shuiling took Ning Qing’s slender arm and sneered, “Ning Qing, what does your mother-in-law an? Does she want to suggest sothing or make sothing public in front of the entire T city? Where does she put you and the child in your belly?”
Ning Qing furrowed her eyebrows lightly. She looked at the two ladies in the middle of the crowd and said nothing.
Kong Lan took Song Yajing’s hand intimately and said, “My Zhilei has always admired Young Master Lu. Look, this girl has waited for 26 years and wasted all her youth. I believe Young Master Lu will treat my family’s Zhilei well.”
“Of course.” Song Yajing’s eyes floated over to Ning Qing’s side casually. She intentionally pointed out, “The family has always seen Zhilei as our daughter in law. Any woman who has evil intentions and wants to beco phoenix by marrying Shaoming, I advise her not to be delusional. The Lu family’s gate is not sothing she can climb.”
Kong Lan also glanced over, although it was her first eting, she was full of scorn and disdain for Ning Qing. She glanced at Ning Qing. “That’s right, if soone still has a sense of sha, they should wake up soon.”
Ning Qing understood that her mother-in-law couldn’t defeat her in secret, and now she’s attacking her in public.
Her mother-in-law had joined Kong Lan to tear her apart, right?
They wanted to humiliate her in front of T city and make her lose face.
After all, in terms of status, a hundred Ning Qing was not a match for them.
Entertainnt news also liked this kind of controversy the best. So famous actress trying to cling to the rich and influential.
If so, then they had accomplished their mission. Those top T-market dignitaries all looked at her with a strange gaze while the dia reporters took photographs madly, and everyone whispered.
Soone soon responded, “Haha, Young Master Lu of the First Empire Corporation and the granddaughter of the world’s winery king are a match made in heaven.”
“Yes, Young Master Lu and Miss Zhou are like a couple of love birds. No one can break them up. Those actresses from the entertainnt industry have a lot of other intentions. Most of them want to marry into a noble family, but she doesn’t even think about how high the threshold of the Lu family. Can she step in?”
“Yes, only Miss Zhou can match Young Master Lu. Other people can just go away.”
The nobles spoke one after another. Although they were taking photos, there were no questions from dia reporters. Ning Qing had a good reputation in the entertainnt industry. She had a glib tongue and was smooth in both interviews and press conferences. Especially after Liu Wenlong’s incident last ti, many of the 28 dia companies in T city were impressed by Ning Qing’s domineering attitude and courage, so Ning Qing had a good personal relationship with reporters.
Besides, everyone knew that Ning Qing was the real Mrs. Lu.
But even so, no one dared go to Ning Qing’s side, because no one dared to offend the two noble ladies.
So the hall split into two sections. Song Yajing and Kong Lan were surrounded by people, while Ning Qing and Yin Shuiling were standing alone.
Song Yajing scornfully glanced at Ning Qing and took Kong Lan’s hand. “Let’s go, you have been living in the United States and must be unfamiliar with T city. I will introduce so elders to you.”
“Alright.” Kong Lan walked away.
Yin Shuiling gritted her teeth, “Ning Qing, your mother-in-law has bullied you and tried to tarnish your image. Are you still going to tolerate them? See how I deal with them.”
Yin Shuiling pulled up her sleeves and rushed forward.
But her body was blocked by a slender arm, and people in the hall heard a crisp and pleasant voice. “Mom.”
