Why is this happening? Could it be...?

Han Songyan's face turned deathly pale, and she gripped her pearl handbag tightly with both hands.

Song Qing suddenly sent her an invitation, asking her to bring Xi Ruo to this tea party. Was his real purpose to humiliate her?

The thought of this possibility filled Han Songyan with shame and indignation.

"Mrs. Ji, your goddaughter has grown up to be so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful girl in this circle."

Song Qing smiled and said, "This child has been beautiful since she was little. Moreover, she is filial and sensible. I have always treated her like my own daughter."

"No wonder Miss Qianmo has such a good temperament. Looking at her now, isn't Miss Qianmo's temperament and charm exactly like Madam Ji when she was young?"

Upon hearing this, Han Songyan, who was standing to the side, felt as if she had been slapped in the face in public, and her entire face burned with pain.

Several ladies stepped forward and showered him with praise.

In reality, most of them were just trying to get close to Song Qing, with a hint of flattery.

However, it cannot be denied that Bai Qianmo's appearance still shines as brightly as the moon when she stands among a group of elegantly dressed socialites.

During this time, besides Han Songyan and her daughter Bai Xiruo feeling awkward, Madam Li, who had been standing at the end, also had a gloomy expression.

She even felt like a thief, afraid of being noticed by Bai Qianmo.

Fortunately, Bai Qianmo, being the most dazzling protagonist of the day, stayed by Song Qing's side the whole time and didn't even notice her presence.

Thinking back to how she had previously looked down on Bai Qianmo, Madam Li felt a pang of regret.

How did this wild girl that the Bai family brought back from the countryside become Madam Ji's goddaughter in the blink of an eye?

Judging from Madam Ji's tone, Bai Qianmo and she seemed to have known each other for a long time.
