Fortunately, this period of time can be considered to be pretty well-rested. On the day of the banquet at the Old Residence, I was finally able to properly dress up.

Ever since I gave myself to Bo Lengqing, I have understood one thing.

To be a mistress, one had to act like one. There were many things that should never be done in the future. When one was unable to see the light of day, one had to be as low-key as possible.

But the present is different from the past. The current me is his legal wife, so I can't let him lose too much face.

As I thought about it, I sat at the dressing table and began to sketch.

He changed into the cheongsam he had prepared for me and put on the Heart of the Sea. The woman in the mirror had a unique charm between her hands and her feet.

The door to the room was pushed open and he rushed up impatiently. However, when he saw me, he immediately froze.

I felt a little proud, but he quickly turned his face away.

"It's time for us to leave."

It was only an hour's drive from the villa to the Bo Family old house when our car stopped in front of the old house.

He opened the car door for me and held out his hand to me. I hesitated, but he held my hand and didn't let go.

I wasn't used to it at first. After all, he had never been so close to me since we met.

He took me by the hand and led me into the old house. Looking around me, I could see the antique yet luxurious decorations and the surrounding people dressed in fine clothes.

The Su Family had held such a banquet before, it's just that the scale wasn't that huge, but I have never been allowed to attend by Su Ya and her daughter.

He probably looked down on my illegitimate daughter's identity from the bottom of his heart.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

As if he had seen my uneasiness, he whispered in my ear, and for a moment I felt as though I had just eaten a pill of reassurance.

At that moment, a long-haired woman in a black feathered dress was walking towards us with a glass of red wine in her hand.

She had a very gentle temperament and was also very beautiful. She was the kind of beauty that would make a woman feel threatened with a single glance.

"Allen, long time no see ~"

She acted as if she did not see me, and raised her cup towards Bo Lengqing, who was beside me, and smiled at the woman.

I looked at Bo Lengqing in shock. In my memory, he would never lie to any woman.

At least, he had never had such a warm smile.

"Long time no see. Please help me greet Uncle Lin."

"I was just talking about you to my dad …" "Oh yeah, do you have any other functions that allow me to go over and help you? I'll help you earn some extra money while I'm at it."

"As a grand Young Miss of Lin Family, where does she need to earn extra money? Since I don't have any free time, I'm actually missing a vice general manager. Do you want to consider it? "

"Of course, cheese."

Looking at Bo Lengqing happily chatting with the woman in front of me, I felt a sense of inferiority.

Actually, I already knew that I was inferior to all of the women around him. As long as he was willing, his looks and abilities would surpass every other family background I came from.

I began to wonder if he had brought me to this so-called dinner to humiliate me more thoroughly.

"You still want to come back?!" Right at this moment, an aged voice that was filled with energy came out from not too far away. Bo Lengqing and I looked in the direction of the voice, and saw an old man wearing a Tang suit and leaning on a walking stick standing in the middle of the crowd.

Bo Lengqing brought me to the old man, and the woman followed beside us.

"Xiao Ran has been waiting for you for so many years. When will the matter between you and Xiao Ran be settled?" When the old man said this, he didn't notice me, who was beside Bo Lengqing.

Back then, when Bo Lengqing and Su Ya were engaged, I beat them to the punch and made it known to the entire city, turning them into the laughingstock of the most reputable people in the city.

It's impossible for the old man to not know that I have married Bo Lengqing, but he still wanted to point out another marriage between me and Bo Lengqing in front of me. It's clear that he's not satisfied with me!

Some of the people around him stopped what they were doing and waited to watch a good show.

"Xiao Ran, come here." The Old Master waved towards the woman beside Bo Lengqing, who obediently stood beside him. The old man's assistant took out a embroidered box from somewhere.

The box was opened. Inside was a pair of jade bracelets inlaid with pure gold. The bracelets were still soaked with traces of blood. With a single glance, one could tell that this was a treasure from the past.

"This is the jade bracelet my Bo Family has passed down for my future wife!"

Seeing that the old man wanted to personally carry that bracelet in that woman's hand, I lowered my head, trying my best to pretend that I didn't care.

"Grandpa, you're so old." Bo Lengqing blocked the old man's hand and casually took the bracelet, putting it on my wrist.

He openly took my hand, that some time the feeling of the bracelet on my wrist, a little cool, but a warm flow in the heart.

"I'm already married, and your grandson's wife is just around the corner."

The old man's expression immediately became ugly: "Bo Lengqing, I prepared this bracelet for Xiao Ran!"

It's already the 21st century, the rules of three wives and four concubines is something that happened during the Qing Dynasty. Grandfather, I know that you truly love Lin Ran from the bottom of your heart, so you cannot disturb me even more … Right, isn't my big brother still unmarried? "Fatty water doesn't flow to foreign lands, do you want to be straightforward …"

"Nonsense!" The old man was so angry that he knocked his cane on the floor.

"Grandpa, calm down, calm down. Allen is joking with us!"

Lin Ran said as he supported the old man. I think I know why Bo Lengqing treats this woman so special.

After all, she was the only woman who could remain calm after Bo Lengqing's teasing.

"Grandfather, it's about time. We have to organize something. We can't just let the guests at home starve, can we?"

The old man waved his hand, and Lin Ran began to organize the things as he smiled.

"Leng Qing, help Xiao Ran!" The old man's voice was not a threat. Bo Lengqing worriedly looked at me and I nodded, indicating that he was fine.

I watched as he and Lin Ran left in front of me side by side. From afar, they looked like a pair of talented people and beautiful women with their backs facing each other.

"Don't think that our Bo Family will acknowledge you as his wife because he likes you! As long as I am here, Bo Lengqing's wife can only be Lin Ran! "

The old man's voice came from behind me. I turned around and lowered my head to remove the bracelet from my wrist.

"You don't have to pretend! One day, I will have him personally remove this bracelet from your hand! The world of our Bo Family does not allow the women of small sects who knocked on the door to find it difficult to step foot into the great hall to taint it! "

"Then I'll temporarily protect it for you, Old Master. In the future, you can have Leng Qing present it with both of his hands."

To be honest, I'm not the least bit surprised by the old man's attitude.

For a rich family like Bo Family, the selected wife would definitely be a well-matched couple. Although the Su Family was not considered bad, it was still nothing compared to the Bo Family.

Actually, I know in my heart that there is another important reason why I do not care at all about the old man's contempt.

That's because I don't love Bo Lengqing.

Because I don't love him, I don't care. I don't care what kind of women he has around him.

I even hoped that he would really be together with Lin Ran and kick me aside so that I could concentrate on taking care of my mother for the rest of my life.

I know very well that in my entire life, aside from Mu Chen, I probably won't try to fall in love with another person with such force.

"Su Cha", a beautiful female voice suddenly came from behind me. I turned around, and saw that it was Lin Ran.

"Aaron is still busy. Would you like to have a drink with me?" She spoke like a hostess.

Before I could reject her, Lin Ran was already walking towards me with two glasses of brandy.

"I've heard of you before, but I'm very surprised that he would actually like a girl like you." Lin Ran smiled innocently, but I understood the disdain in her words.

I had to smile and take the brandy from her hand and drink it in one gulp.

"Girls should drink less wine, otherwise, it's easy for them to have sexual encounters." She "kindly" warned me.

I don't know why, but I don't usually drink much, but I've always had a pretty good sense of myself. Today, after a glass of brandy, I feel dizzy. I just want to find a place to wash my face and wake up.
