Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
When everyone praised Cheng Xiao, they couldn’t help but belittle Cheng Ling,
“Oh yes, where’s your the other daughter? Why isn’t she here? Old Master Cheng’s birthday is such a grand occasion, why isn’t she here?”
Speaking of this, Old Master Cheng got angry. It reminded him of what Cheng Ling said that afternoon in Lu Qi’s new villa.
He looked around and indeed did not see Cheng Ling.
“This girl is getting more and more outrageous. She can be late for such an occasion. Does she take , her grandfather, seriously?”
When the people around saw this, they spoke up one after another. It looked like they were comforting Old Master Cheng, but in fact, they were belittling Cheng Ling directly an dindirectly.
“Old Master Cheng, after all, Cheng Ling is not the biological daughter of your Cheng family. Thus it’s normal for her to behave in this manner.”
“That’s right. Xiao Xiao is enough for your family.”
A lady who was familiar with the Cheng family said, “Last ti, Cheng Ling was wearing a simple white shirt and jeans to the party. This ti, will it be the sa?”
“Maybe. Isn’t she farming at the back? I guess she can only wear those few clothes.”
Xie Wan and the others seed to have tacitly agreed with these people’s contempt and insults towards Cheng Ling. Anyway, ever since Cheng Xiao ca back, the Cheng family was no longer willing to admit that Cheng Ling was their child.
On the contrary, Cheng Xiao who was sitting beside Lu Xiu helped.
“Sister’s personality is just more boyish.”
“Xiao Xiao, don’t speak up for your sister. I heard that she bullied you at school last ti.”
Cheng Xiao’s eyes flickered. She was bullied?
At this mont, Xie Wan anxiously said, “What? Xiao Xiao, you were bullied at school. Why didn’t you tell ? I’ll go and settle the score with her!”
Cheng Xiao also accepted her mistake.
“Sister didn’t bully . She just spoke in a bad tone.”
“I heard my child say that your Xiao Xiao saw Cheng Ling on the road that day and wanted to drive her ho. But it turned out Cheng Ling’s attitude was very bad.”
So it was about that matter.
Cheng Xiao pretended to recall what happened that day, and her expression imdiately turned aggrieved.
“Yeah, that Friday after school. I saw Sister walking alone, so I thought of giving Sister a ride. But Sister seed to be in a bad mood that day, so she rejected .”
“Sigh, seriously, why is this Cheng Ling behaving this way? She really doesn’t know how to appreciate the kindness of others.”
The surrounding husbands and wives began to speak up for Cheng Xiao and defend her injustice.
Lu Xiu just was just sitting down there and didn’t express any opinions.
Everyone here didn’t like Cheng Ling, so naturally they would be biased against her. Moreover, what they said was only one-sided.
He had interacted with Cheng Ling before. He knew that although Cheng Ling’s personality was a little cold and her words were a little harsh, she wouldn’t have a bad attitude toward others for no reason.
He picked up his wine glass and took a sip of red wine.
“Oh yes, Old Master Cheng, is Old Master Ding coming over tonight?”
Old Master Cheng smiled widely.
On the day he received Old Master Ding’s reply, he had already let Xie Wan “inadvertently” reveal it to all the big families.
He quickly nodded. “Yes, Old Master Ding is coming over. He might be a little late because of the traffic jam.”
“Old Master Ding is very ambitious. He has never attended any banquets before. This ti, he is coming to attend Old Master Cheng’s banquet. Old Master Cheng, you are really amazing.”
Old Master Ding had never been involved in business matters, so he did not have much contact with these people. However, he was highly reputable and everyone wanted to get close to him.
There were so matters that people might need to send gifts to make it through. But for Old Master Ding, he just need to speak a few words.
However, Old Master Ding had a strange personality, and not many people could get along well with him.
Jin Wang, the old master of the Jin family, was one of the few people. The two of them were friends who had gone through life and death together many years ago. Their personalities were similar. Both of them were highly reputable, but Jin Wang was in another city.
If the two of them were together, the people from the whole country would probably have to bow down and call them Old Master.
Old Master Cheng had only seen Ding Shun at a large-scale event. At that ti, he only greeted Ding Shun and had no other conversation.
In the past two years, the Cheng family had beco more and more famous in the capital. Thus he dared to invite Old Master Ding over this ti.
As for Jin Wang, he had only seen him in the newspapers and the news.
Old Master Cheng stroked his white beard and thought that if he could see Old Master Ding and Old Master Jin in his lifeti and talk to them, he would die without regrets.
