The next day, Wang Jing got up especially early. She and Leng Yue applied face masks and did skincare together. After that, they rushed to choose dresses, buy accessories, and do Leng Yue's hair. They didn't finish getting ready until 3 p.m.

Leng Yue was exhausted from all the fuss. She originally didn't want to go, but she changed her mind because Ling said the female lead would also be there.

Leng Yue never expected that she, a nobody, would be valued so much by Wang Jing. Judging from her attitude, Wang Jing was determined to sell her for a good price.

Looking at herself in the mirror, with her youthful and naive face and slender figure, apart from her standard height, where did this flat body with no breasts or buttocks give this couple confidence?

The banquet was scheduled to start promptly at 6 p.m., but because the location was a villa on a hillside far from the city, they set off three hours early.

As before, Leng Fei drove, while Leng Yue and Wang Jing sat in the back.

Wang Jing kept looking at herself in the mirror, gazing at herself with a sense of rapt attention. She would fix her hair one moment, and touch her necklace the next, clearly taking the banquet very seriously.

Leng Fei glanced at his wife, a hint of impatience on his face. "You're not the main character this time. Could you please take a look at our daughter?"

Wang Jing reluctantly put down the mirror, glanced at Leng Yue, and said somewhat perfunctorily, "Our daughter is very good, fair-skinned, beautiful, and has a superior temperament. There's nothing wrong with her. On the contrary, look at me, I haven't had a spa treatment in a while, and now I have a wrinkle here."

Wang Jing became nervous as she spoke, "What if Mrs. Li and the others see this? Will they laugh at me?"

"Please get to the point!" Leng Fei's tone became more forceful.

Wang Jing stiffened and looked at Leng Yue, saying, "Baby, don't be nervous. When we get there, just follow Mommy, okay?"

Seeing her like this, Leng Fei nodded, "That's right. Your daughter doesn't understand anything, so you, as her mother, need to teach her more."

Leng Yue listened to Wang Jing's words and nodded repeatedly in agreement. In fact, Leng Yue already knew these etiquette rules. Not to mention that she had been in the entertainment industry before, what kind of occasion hadn't she seen in all her lives?

After Wang Jing finished speaking, Leng Yue handed her a bottle of drink, thoughtfully inserting a straw. Wang Jing took it, looked at it in her hand, but didn't drink it.

"Can I ask you something?" Leng Yue didn't press Wang Jing for a drink when she saw that she wasn't drinking, but instead started chatting with her.

"You said?" Wang Jing was a little surprised because she didn't expect Leng Yue to offer her a drink and chat with her.

"Do you really care about me?" The moment Leng Yue uttered these words, the atmosphere in the car became heavy. Leng Yue knew this would be the outcome, but she still wanted to ask the original owner of this body or herself for clarification.

Wang Jing lowered her head, her expression hidden. Leng Yue didn't know what she was thinking, but she continued to wait patiently. Because she needed this answer.

The silence in the carriage felt like an eternity. Just when Leng Yue thought she would never get an answer, Wang Jing looked up.

"I don't know. When I gave birth to you, I wasn't ready to be a mother. Even now, I still feel like I can't take care of a child. So, I don't know how I feel about you!" Wang Jing's eyes were filled with confusion, and Leng Yue knew she wasn't lying.

Like Wang Jing, Leng Yue remained silent for a long time before looking at her and saying, "Although I am disappointed by your answer, I still want to thank you for not lying to me."

Leng Yue felt somewhat relieved, relieved that Wang Jing hadn't chosen to lie to her, and relieved that she hadn't directly said things like "I regret having her."

But at the same time, there was an unavoidable sense of disappointment. Wang Jing was nearly forty, yet she still acted like a child, lacking any awareness of motherhood. Leng Yue didn't know whether to call her irresponsible or unsuitable to be a mother!

After driving for over an hour, we finally left the city. The scenery outside the car window changed from skyscrapers to rows of trees. The car sped up, and the trees on both sides of the road rushed past. Before I knew it, Leng Yue had fallen asleep.

Leng Yue didn't know how long she had slept. When the car was climbing a hill and the speed slowed down, she opened her eyes and groggily looked out the window.

"You're awake?" Wang Jing asked, withdrawing her aching hand as she saw Leng Yue wake up.

Leng Yue looked at her incredulously, "You were supporting my head the whole time?"

Wang Jing nodded. "I was afraid your hairstyle would get messed up. It was so hard to make it look so beautiful..." Looking into Leng Yue's clear eyes, Wang Jing trailed off, unable to finish her sentence.

Actually, she herself didn't know why, but suddenly she started to care about Leng Yue's thoughts.

Leng Yue nodded. "Thank you so much."

The family was so polite to each other that they acted like complete strangers.

After driving for about ten minutes, the road leveled out. In the distance, Leng Yue could see a large building, like a castle.

Upon arriving at the gate, Leng Fei handed over the invitation, got out of the car, and went inside, leaving the car to be parked by designated staff.

Leng Fei and his wife walked ahead, while Leng Yue followed steadily behind in her high heels. Wang Jing turned around to look at her several times and couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever worn high heels? How can you walk so steadily?"

Leng Yue shook her head. "The first time, it should be natural, after all, it has your genes in it, doesn't it?"

Wang Jing smiled and said, "That's true. I've been good at wearing high heels since I was very young."

Leng Yue didn't know whose house this was, and it had to be said that it was really big. They had been walking for ten or twenty minutes and still hadn't arrived.

However, it's clear that the owner of this house is a flower lover. From the entrance to the innermost part, Leng Yue saw that both sides of the cement path were lined with roses. Various varieties, neatly trimmed and beautifully arranged in rows.

Finally, at the end of the flower field, a long corridor appeared, with fountains on both sides featuring sculptures of adorable children. Following the corridor further in, you arrived at the castle's main hall.

They arrived not late, but the place was already packed with people. Groups of three or five stood together, chatting and laughing. After Leng Fei went inside, he led Leng Yue around, greeting people one by one.

After going around once, Leng Yue felt her face was stiff.

Wherever they went, Leng Fei and his wife would pull Leng Yue to the front to greet the person they met, saying, "Oh, Mr. X, it's been a long time! This is my daughter, come here and say hello to your uncle."

Leng Yue always greets people with a perfect eight-tooth smile, just like that every time. After a round of this, her face looks terrible. Oh well, she hasn't done that in a long time.

Fortunately, she finally finished meeting everyone she wanted to see. Exhausted and hungry, Leng Yue quietly went to the food section to get something to eat.

Because she wasn't paying attention, Leng Yue bumped into someone. As a result, both of them ended up sitting on the ground.

"How come you're so strong?" The other person stood up, extending his hand to Leng Yue with a smile. Leng Yue, however, didn't give him any face and got up on her own.

The other person smiled, not angry. After Leng Yue finished tidying up, he extended his hand again, "Hello, my name is Song Jingci. May I ask your name, Miss?"
