The banquet held by the Jiang family for Jiang Mulan wasn’t a grand banquet, but rather a low-key one. They only invited close relatives and neighbors with whom they had better relationships. They chose a hotel near the colony to host the banquet. There were only a few tables.

When Su Meng followed the old couple Ling into the lobby on the second floor of the hotel, a lot of people were already sparsely seated in the lobby. She quietly followed the old couple and her eyes were lowered so she didn’t realize until she entered the hall, the conversations between people had subconsciously stopped and the hall became quiet. Many guests looked at her.

Some people even pointed their fingers at her, and asked the people next to them curiously, 

“Who is that little girl? How old is she?”

“Is she a star in the entertainment industry?”

“Whose kid is she? So beautiful.”

As soon as she entered, she attracted everyone’s attention. Jiang Guangshi led his second wife Liang Cheng to the old Ling couple with a warm smile, “Lao Ling is here, welcome!”

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Jiang Guangshi brought the topic to Su Meng, who stood on the side, “This is…”

Lao Ling smiled heartily, and said, “This is Su Meng, the child adopted by my old lady in Sichuan, didn’t you know?”

Jiang Guangshi’s face showed a suddenly enlightened expression. He smiled and said, “It is her. Ling Lao is really blessed. Not only is your son a talented person, but your adopted girl is so beautiful. It is enviable.” Although there was a bit of flattery in that sentence, it was true.

Such a beauty was even better than that of Zhiyao from the Qiao family. In addition, the old couple Ling looked very attached to her. If she was trained well, her future would really be bright. If he didn’t clearly know the personality of the old couple Ling, Jiang Guangshi would almost think that Su Meng was their to-be daughter-in-law set to marry their son.

Jiang Guangshi thought for a while. If the old couple Ling had no intention of making her a daughter-in-law then Xiuran could try to be with her. The two of them were about the same age, appearance, and similar family background. They were really a good match. Perhaps, after a while he could let Xiuran come over and meet the girl first.

It only took a few seconds for that thought to pass in his mind. Jiang Guang didn’t show the slightest change on his face. He warmly and thoughtfully brought the Ling couple to the table No. 6, “Lao Ling, your seats are here, please sit down.”

After Su Meng, Ling Lao and his wife were seated, Jiang Guangshi smiled decently, “Lao Ling, we are going to meet other guests, hope you enjoy it here.”

Ling Lao waved his hand to him and motioned to him to go ahead as well. Not far away, Xiao Zhan had kept his eyes firmly on Su Meng since she came in. He exploded, “The fuck is this Su Meng? What the hell? Is it Su Meng?” He looked at the girl beside Su Meng who followed the old couple.

“But Su Meng actually looked like this? Damn… looked too pretty.”

He hadn’t seen such a face in eighteen years of his life. Her appearance could blow up the entire military compound. She couldn’t be compared to Qiao Zhiyao. 

After careful analysis and comparison in his mind, Ning Junzai (Ning Jun) on the side spoke carefully, “Judging from her height and body, and her eyes, it should be her.”

Jiang Tingzhou walked from the other side of the hall to a position beside his friends with a cold expression. He leaned his whole body on the chair. It wasn’t until he got to his friend’s side that his tense mood relaxed a little. After Jiang Tingzhou noticed that his two friends looked at him with strange expressions, he asked lazily, “What’s wrong?”

Xiao Zhan coughed lightly, “Your… Ling family is here.”

“Su Meng is here?”

Ning Jun pointed to their table, “Yes, she is sitting there…”

Before Ning Jun could finish, Jiang Tingzhou stood up and walked straight towards their table. Ning Jun looked complicated, “I feel distressed for Yaoyao(Qiao Zhiyao). Does she even have a chance?”

Xiao Zhan shook his head with a bitter face, “Look at how affectionate Ah Zhou is towards Su Meng, I guess she doesn’t stand a chance.”

When Su Meng turned her head to listen carefully to the greetings between Ling Lao and another old man at the same table, a warm hand was placed on her shoulder, and a smiling voice called her, “Kid.”

Su Meng turned her head. Jiang Tingzhou in a formal suit. He wore a royal blue suit with a white shirt underneath, and his tie hung loosely around his neck, he lookd mad and unruly. Seeing Su Meng, who looked particularly sweet and well-behaved, with a shoulder-length hair behind her ears, Jiang Tingzhou’s eyes flickered.

He took Su Meng’s arm and said, “Old Ling, I am taking her to show around the place, is it okay?”

Lao Ling nodded after he saw that Su Meng didn’t refuse, “The banquet is about to begin, don’t go too far. Just don’t be late.”

Jiang Tingzhou agreed and bowed to the old couple.
