Chapter 152 Dinner

Everyone stared at what was happening in front of them in astonishment, as if they were under a spell, their mouths wide open, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the entire banquet hall fell into a dead silence.

After a long while, the sound of whispers gradually came from the crowd, and the originally silent atmosphere gradually became noisy.

"Oh my God! Young Master Lu actually calls Chief Ji "Dad" and "Grandpa Ji". Are those rumors true? Did Young Master Lu really marry the daughter that Chief Ji found?" "

This is simply unbelievable! I heard that the girl had barely read a book and could be said to be illiterate. How could Young Master Lu, with his identity and status, fall in love with her?"

People were whispering to each other, with expressions of surprise and confusion on their faces.

They couldn't understand how such an outstanding Young Master Lu could choose a woman who had just come from the countryside and had a low level of education as his partner.

Ji Youran followed her parents into the banquet hall. Listening to the whispers coming from her ears, a smile flashed across the corners of her mouth. Even if Ling Yao returned to the Ji family, it still couldn't change her origin as a country girl. In the eyes of others, she was the only eldest daughter of the Ji family.

"You Ran!"

Ji Youran looked in the direction of the voice and saw several daughters of aristocratic families with whom she was on good terms.

She smiled and nodded to them, and pointed in the direction of Old Master Ji, indicating that she would come to find them later.

Ji Youran followed her parents and Ji Yanting. After greeting Old Master Ji, she came to the side of several daughters of aristocratic families.

"You Ran, we heard that the daughter your second uncle found was from the country and hadn't even been to school for a few years. Is that true?" Everyone was very curious.

Ji Youran originally wanted to nod in agreement, but suddenly changed her mind when the words came to her lips.

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a sly smile, "Of course it's not true! My cousin is quite amazing. Not only is she the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination, but she is also proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you don't believe me, you can test her on the spot later, and you will definitely be surprised."

She just wanted to embarrass Ling Yao in public, to let her know the difference between her and the daughters of aristocratic families who grew up in Beijing. It's true that Ling Yao is a good student, but a girl who grew up in the countryside would never have the opportunity to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Ling Yao's embarrassment in front of everyone today is inevitable.

Thinking of Ling Yao's ugly appearance in a while, Ji Youran couldn't help laughing. Maybe Lu Qingyun would divorce Ling Yao because of this.

"Really?" Everyone was skeptical.

"Of course it's true. I'm not lying to you. You'll see how good my cousin is in a moment. It will definitely open your eyes." Ji Youran's eyes were full of anticipation. Ling Yao, after tonight, you will become the laughing stock of the entire city of Beijing.

Ji Yanting walked up to the crowd, showing a gentle smile, and nodded gently to everyone, "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend tonight's banquet. I am deeply grateful!"

He paused for a moment, and continued in a low and magnetic voice: "The reason for holding a banquet tonight is mainly because I have two things to tell you. First, I want you to get to know my wife. She has suffered a lot for me over the years, and I am ashamed of her, so today I want to say sorry to her in front of you! Second, I want to introduce my daughter to you, and I hope that you will take good care of her in the future."

After speaking, Ji Yanting slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the stairs, revealing endless tenderness in his eyes.

Seeing this, everyone followed his line of sight and looked in that direction curiously.

At this moment, two beautiful figures appeared in front of everyone, and they slowly walked down the stairs.

Everyone looked at the two people with surprise and disbelief in their eyes.

Among them, the young woman had a beautiful face and delicate features like a carved work of art, exuding charming charm, as stunning as a fairy descending to the earth.

The middle-aged woman walking side by side with her, although the years have left some marks on her face, she is still graceful and full of charm.

"This is the mother and daughter from the countryside. How come they don't look alike at all?"

"Yeah, I really can't tell at all."

"Aren't they said to be full of country airs?"

"She's so beautiful. No wonder even Mr. Lu, who always looks down on women, would be attracted to her."

"I just heard from Ji Youran that she was the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination."

"Their temperament is really amazing."

"Mrs. Ji has such great skin. When she walks with her daughter, they look like sisters. I wonder how she maintains her skin? I'll have to ask her later."

Ji Yanting waited for the two to come closer, stretched out his hand, held their hands, and smiled at everyone, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is my wife, Ms. Ling Xuemei, and this is my daughter, Ling Yao."

Ling Xuemei and Ling Yao smiled and nodded to everyone present, elegant and decent.

"Today, I have another piece of good news to share with everyone. My daughter, Ling Yao, has tied the knot with Lu Qingyun and received the marriage certificate. The wedding banquet is scheduled for the 8th of next month. I sincerely invite you to take the time to attend."

"Pa pa pa!" A round of warm applause rang out in the banquet hall.

"I didn't expect it to be true. Young Master Lu really married the daughter that Chief Ji adopted."

"She was adopted just now and Lu Qingyun married her. It seems that this Ling Yao is not a simple person."

"I heard that this Ling Yao is not only the top scorer in this year's college entrance examination, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I really want to meet her." "

It should be fake. Don't forget that she just came from the countryside. How could she know all these? It must be that the Ji family deliberately spread it in order to make others look up to her."

Ling Yao followed her parents and exchanged a few words with several elders, and then followed Lu Qingyun to the table where the Lu family sat.

"Yaoyao is here, come and sit over here with mom." Mother Lu waved to Ling Yao with a smile on her face. The more she looked at Ling Yao, the more she liked her.

"Okay, Mom!" Ling Yao nodded obediently and walked to sit next to Mother Lu.

Mother Lu looked at Ling Yao with a smile and couldn't help but praise her: "Yao Yao is so beautiful! Look at her eyebrows and eyes, her temperament, my Qingyun has a good eye!"

Ling Yao was a little embarrassed by the compliment, "Mom, you are too kind."

"Of course my taste is good, Yaoyao, come and eat something." Lu Qingyun sat down next to Lingyao, picked up the chopsticks, and reached out to help her put some dishes in her bowl.
