Chapter 17：Old Madam Doted on Her the Most

"Old Madam, Ms. Tang is here." The helper gently reminded old Mrs. Lu. No matter how unwilling the others were—once they heard this, they gradually made a path.

Everyone knew that the late female CEO of the Tang family was extremely blessed and doted on by old Mrs. Lu. All these years—if it was not for old Mrs. Lu helping behind the scenes, the Tang family's business would have landed in someone else's hands.

Now that the female CEO had passed on, the daughter she left behind was arranged to marry into the Lu family's subset under old Mrs. Lu's arrangements.

What a pity, there were many unfavorable rumors about that Ms. Tang.

At this time, everyone could not wait to see what sarcasms and criticisms Tang Xinluo would say in person.

"Granny Lu, Xinluo is late… Xinluo wishes you a happy birthday. May your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may you live as long as the Zhongnan Mountains."

Her soft voice came from the crowd, and they could not help but turn around. When they saw the person that was walking through, they all gasped in surprise.

This… this was actually the nerd from the Tang family!

"Aiyo, it's Xinluo. Come, let Granny take a look at you. Wow, the young lady had grown up and had become much prettier."

Once Old Mrs. Lu saw Tang Xinluo, the first genuine smile of the night finally appeared on her face. She pulled Tang Xinluo to her side and patted the back of her hand as she sized up the beautiful lady.

She took off the spectacles that always covered her peach eyes. Tonight, Tang Xinluo wore a white mermaid dress which was decorated with crystals and pearls. Every step she took, she dazzled and sparkled under the light.

Her long hair was casually placed behind her shoulders, and she looked especially pretty and sexy. Her pearly white neckline was revealed, and with the accompaniment of her pearl earrings and pearl necklace, her silky skin was enhanced. Not only did she look prettier, but she looked even more defined.

"Okay, okay. You're really prettier now. Ever since you got married, Granny didn't get to see you much. If it was not for this banquet, I won't even know when this child that doted on her in-laws would come to see Granny."

It was clear that Old Mrs. Lu did not know of Tang Xinluo's actual situation after she married into Lu Qinghao's family. However, she could not blame her as she hid everything from her due to her guilt towards the Lu family. Then again…

Old Madam held her hand, talked for a while, and could not help but feel that it was rather unfortunate in her heart. Her own eldest grandson was not a good match. If not, she must have let this lady marry her eldest grandson.

The two of them only cared about talking amongst themselves, and all the other mistresses and ladies of the wealthiest families in A City became accessories. Gong Xuemei was standing at the outermost side and was anxious and jealous as she watched Tang Xinluo.

She knew that the old madam was biased towards Tang Xinluo, but she did not know that it would be this extreme.

When Tang Xinluo thought that she had said enough to her, she was prepared to expose all the problems between her and Lu Qinghao to the old madam.

When she was about to speak, someone interrupted her.

"Xinluo, that's great. It turns out that you're here."

Lu Qinghao's big build appeared in the crowd. Other than the Old Mrs. Lu, everyone else long knew about the reality of the family discord between Tang Xinluo and the Lu family.

Lu Qinghao appeared, and the crowd instinctively made way for him as they prepared to watch a good show.

Once she heard someone call her, she turned around and saw Lu Qinghao wearing a custom-made white suit and looked very handsome.

The lady beside him was wearing a black lace dress.

That black lace dress was very exposing, and one could even use 'transparent' to describe it. Not only that, but she had also specifically worn a corset vest, which took people's breath away.
