Twenty years of familial love, years of marital affection—all were lies. The father who doted on her since childhood turned out to be the murderer of her mother. The husband who cherished her all a...
However, given Ling Moyuan's background and status, it was impossible for him to keep a low profile no matter what.
Although Mo Jing and Ling Moyuan were newcomers, they were both rather aloof, so they didn't go to the door to greet the guests. Instead, Mo Xiangtian and Han Meijuan were busy running around.
Mo Jing wore a red dress today. Few people can pull off this color, but it looked stunning on Mo Jing, making her appear less aloof and more alluring. Originally, Mo Jing had chosen a beige gift, but Grandma Ling insisted on red, believing that red was appropriate for such a joyous occasion.
Ling Moyuan was unusually dressed in a black suit today, and his usually stern face exuded a faint sense of aloofness. Even on such a festive day, his expression remained largely unchanged, only occasionally revealing a hint of tenderness when his gaze met Mo Jing's.
Both possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, yet when they stood together, no one felt they were incompatible; rather, they seemed as if they were born for each other.
The entire hotel has been secured by security personnel arranged by Grandpa Ling and his team to prevent any disturbances.
Grandma Ling was in a particularly good mood today and pulled Grandpa Ling to drink a few sips.
Her precious grandson has finally gotten married. Although it's only an engagement, in this modern age, it's practically the same as being married.
Besides, that clueless grandson actually has the romantic idea of taking his granddaughter-in-law on a trip after the engagement party. It seems like such a waste. Youth is truly wonderful.
Grandma Ling tilted her head back and drank a small glass of wine. Her face, already covered in wrinkles, was covered with beads of sweat on her forehead, clearly indicating that she had drunk a little too much.
Grandpa Ling's drinking is usually controlled by his daughter-in-law, but today she was busy taking care of people and didn't have time to watch him, so he drank a couple more glasses.
A sleek black car pulled up in front of the hotel. Bai Sihang, dressed in a blue gown and champagne-heeled high heels, immediately captivated the crowd with her stunning beauty.
Standing beside him was Shen Xiangming, dressed in a silver suit. Tall and handsome, he was the object of admiration for many women in high society. Unfortunately, everyone knew that the couple had a very good relationship, and no one could interfere.
"Sister Sihang, Mr. Shen, you've finally arrived!" Mo Jing saw Bai Sihang and Shen Xiangming and quickly went up to greet them. "I thought you weren't coming."
"How could I not come after I promised you!" Bai Sihang said with a smile, a faint smile on her exquisite and beautiful face.
Mo Jing smiled. This woman had mastered the art of speaking tactfully just like she had before. It seemed Shen Xiangming had definitely found someone to practice imitating her long ago. Her gaze swept over Shen Xiangming, a fleeting glint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes, too quick to catch.
Ling Moyuan walked over and put his arm around Mo Jing's shoulder, saying, "There are some of Grandpa's old friends over there. Let's go say hello." He nodded to Shen Xiangming and his wife as a greeting.
Mo Jing gave a slight bow to Shen Xiangming and Bai Sihang, then said, "You two make yourselves at home. I'll go say hello and be right back."
“Go ahead!” Bai Sihang said understandingly.
