“Ningning, you look absolutely stunning,” Jing Chenxi approached, his admiration sincere from the heart.
“Thank you, Mr. Jing,” Shen Ning pursed her lips and offered a gentle smile.
“I wish you great success tonight, may all your endeavors be accomplished,” he extended his warmest wishes.
“Thank you, 1 believe your kind words will bring me luck,” Shen Ning replied with a charming smile before heading into the venue.
The vast venue was designed like a series of islands, with over a dozen tables adorned with fragrant perfume-packaged souvenirs and fresh flower arrangements.
The atmosphere in the venue was cozy and romantic, permeated with a sweet fragrance, perfectly suiting women’s pursuit of romantic love.
There were only twenty minutes left before the conference began.
As Shen Ning reached the entrance, a luxury car pulled up.
The baggage handler quickly opened the car door.
A middle-aged lady emerged from the car, gracefully carrying her evening gown’s train.
The moment Shen Ning laid eyes on her, she hesitated and immediately felt the urge to turn and run.
Li Wanqing, her former mother-in-law, had unexpectedly arrived!
She hadn’t invited her from what she remembered!
“You… Shen Ning?” Li Wanqing looked up and saw Shen Ning standing at the entrance, wearing a beautiful and elegant evening gown. Her eyes widened in shock, and it took her a while to regain her composure. She was overcome with emotion, and her words tumbled out incoherently.
“…Auntie, hello,” Shen Ning could only put on a brave face, offering a polite greeting and a smile.
“Shen Ning, it’s really you?” Li Wanqing rushed up and grabbed her hand, her eyes moist. “You’re really alive.”
She looked Shen Ning up and down, murmuring to herself, “Not bad, you look much better than before. That’s good, that’s good. Now, I feel relieved.”
She wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes and sighed with emotion.
A pang of bitterness welled up in Shen Ning’s heart. Her former mother-in-law had treated her relatively well. At least, she hadn’t been as difficult to serve as other wealthy mothers-in-law. During those years, when Li Zhenting had neglected her, Li Wanqing had also advised her son, but the problem was that he simply didn’t love her.
“Auntie, I’m fine. Please come in,” Shen Ning held Li Wanqing’s hand and led her inside.
“Oh, by the way, tonight, I have a task assigned by Zhenting. 1 have to entertain those old women, so I can’t sit idly inside,” Li Wanqing remembered her task after a few steps and immediately pulled Shen Ning towards the entrance. “Come, let’s greet the distinguished guests together. I have more experience than you when it comes to dealing with them.”
“Thank you for that, Auntie,” Shen Ning felt touched.
“Don’t thank me. Our mother-daughter affairs don’t require any thanks. Besides, all of this is arranged by Zhenting…” She smiled warmly. But just as she was speaking, she suddenly stopped!
Her son had arranged this tea party, which meant he had known that Shen Ning was coming back a long time ago. In other words, he had specially arranged this for Shen Ning?
As this thought crossed her mind, she felt a surge of joy. Could it be that her son was…
As she was still contemplating this, a luxury car pulled up at the entrance. The car door opened, and Li Zhenting’s tall figure emerged.
Her eyes lit up, and she immediately waved to Li Zhenting. “Zhenting, over here.”
Li Zhenting stood still, raised his gaze.
Stunned.
At the entrance, his mother was standing there with a big smile on her face. By her side stood a gracefully beautiful woman, dressed in an exquisite evening gown, exuding a calm and gentle aura. She had a faint smile on her face, and her temperament was like an orchid.
Wasn’t that Shen Ning!
When did she become so stylish and beautiful!
In fact, just by dressing like this, she seemed like a different person. Her overall image had improved significantly. Compared to the simple girl-next-door she used to be, she was now miles ahead.
With this appearance, she would undoubtedly outshine all the young heiresses attending tonight’s event.
He couldn’t help but reveal an unconcealable sense of amazement in his eyes..
