Chapter 947 A Grand Banquet

In fact, He Jing had never attended a large banquet before transmigrating into the book, at least not one this big. She had to go through numerous security checks and investigations before she was able to enter the banquet hall with an invitation.

Upon entering the hall, He Jing was shocked by the extravagant scene before her. The Baroque-style architecture and the high dome made her feel as if she were in a palace rather than a hall. The gold, silver and jade artifacts on the table were only for serving food and drink.

Here, gemstones seem like worthless stones, casually embedded in the pillars. The sculptures shimmer with a dazzling light, and the chandeliers overhead resemble layers of blooming white lotuses, with countless exquisite crystals hanging on them, one after another, casting a soft "moonlight" from top to bottom.

In this lavish banquet that resembled a palace, many people of indistinguishable nationalities stood dressed in fine clothes, their wine glasses serving as mere decorations, highlighting their carefree attitude.

He Jing felt as if a new world had been opened to her. She looked at Yan's mother blankly, then looked down at her own dress... The dress was already very pretty, but compared to this occasion, it wasn't enough, it wasn't glamorous enough at all.

She should wear a rose-colored long dress and the most dazzling jewelry to make herself seem less out of place here.

However, Yan's mother seemed to be used to such banquets. She smiled, patted her hand, and said softly, "Confidence is a woman's best adornment. Look, many people are not dressed very well, but because of their confidence, they appear so elegant and outstanding. Jingjing, you are the daughter of the He Group, and you should have this kind of confidence. Don't be intimidated by the exaggerated appearance here."

Indeed, many people at the banquet were simply dressed in long dresses or wearing simple jewelry, yet they seemed perfectly at home. It was only because she was unfamiliar with such things that she felt inadequate; she shouldn't have acted that way.

But no matter how she tried to comfort herself, she knew that the banquet was actually more grand than she had imagined, because... languages ​​from all directions were being collected into the pearl earring-shaped translator and translated into Chinese so that she could understand them.

She heard someone say, "Baron William, it's been a long time. You finally have time to attend this banquet."

Then someone said, "Princess Iden, has your fiancé arrived today? Please give him my regards."

I also heard someone say, "Oh, isn't this my dear chief? It's so strange that he would come to a banquet in private."

...

Such examples are too numerous to mention.

Despite her panic, He Jing forced herself to remain calm and followed Yan's mother deeper into the area. When they met another Yan's mother who greeted them, she returned the greeting.

The arrival of Yan Mu seemed to brighten the eyes of many people. A group of men and women gathered around and said in the language of K country, "Oh my darling, you are still so beautiful and charming after not seeing you for a few days. If I had known you were coming to this banquet, I should have dressed more presentably."

Mother replied in fluent K language, "No need, Mr. James. A million stars cannot compare to the brilliance of the diamond brooch on your chest. It complements your handsome face perfectly. Please allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Jingjing."

Mr. James, who was so flattered that he was completely overwhelmed, looked at He Jing and exclaimed with amazement, "My goodness, there is such a beautiful person. She must be a gift from God to the world. May I kiss your lips, Miss Jingjing?"

He Jing was dumbfounded. Shouldn't the proper etiquette be to rub the cheek? Why kiss the lips?

"No." She refused decisively.
