Ning Jiaojiao was a little anxious. Didn’t she send out invitation cards to a group of people?
The time is clearly written: the engagement party starts at 9 am and the meal will begin at 11 am.
It's already 10:20 and her sister hasn't come yet.
Even Uncle Wang’s boss, the Viscount, is about to arrive, but she hasn’t come yet. She can’t let the big shots here wait for her, right?
Ning Meng thought for a moment and said, "I went to a friend's birthday party this morning. You can start first."
It doesn't matter whether she goes or not.
Ning Jiaojiao was stunned and said aggrievedly:
"I don't care, you have to come right away. Is your sister's engagement party not as good as a friend's birthday party? You had a fight with your parents but not with me, and you won't even come for a meal?"
She also didn't want her sister to meet that important person, but the Viscount's mother had just asked about her sister.
If you don't come, she will scold you again.
Ning Meng sighed, "Okay, I'll come over now."
She really came over just to have a meal.
Some things really can't be given up just like that.
If I want to completely cut off contact with my family, do I have to move to a city farther away?
But she only likes to live in a familiar city.
Ning Meng took a taxi to the Imperial Hotel where Ning Jiaojiao's engagement party was held.
This hotel is a famous 5-star hotel in Nanling City, and the average cost per person for a wedding banquet is over 1,000 yuan.
The waiter took her to the lobby on the second floor of the hotel, and Ning Meng saw Ning Jiaojiao and Wang Zijue, who were wearing champagne-colored couple dresses, holding wine glasses and greeting guests with a smile.
When Ning Meng walked in, everyone looked at her.
Wang Zijue asked Ning Jiaojiao uncertainly in a low voice: "Is that your second sister?" Why did she look different today?
The light purple dress made her skin look clean and fair. Her long hair was half tied up and half draped, making her look intellectual and gentle. Her beautiful eyes were looking towards them. She didn't look like the country woman who was dressed casually that day at all.
Ning Jiaojiao was also stunned for a few seconds. How could her second sister become so beautiful just by dressing up? Then she reacted and said with a forced smile, "It's my second sister."
She walked over and greeted him, "Sister, you're here. Come and sit at mom's table. Those sitting there are all our family members."
Ning Meng looked in the direction Ning Jiaojiao pointed, and saw Li Meili, who was sitting there, gave her a cold look, then turned her head and continued chatting with the people at the next table.
And her father and brother also seemed to have not seen her.
Only her sister was sitting there, smiling and waving at her.
Ning Meng walked over and saw that there were no seats available, so she sat at the table next to her.
Ning Shuang whispered to her, "You look so beautiful in this dress today. I saw the boys at other tables staring at you just now."
After saying that, she gestured for Ning Meng to look at the group of relatives and friends opposite.
There were a few young boys sitting over there, and they happened to look over and smile.
Ning Meng felt quite embarrassed being stared at.
Moreover, there were several neighbor girls from the same town sitting at the table where she was sitting, staring at her unkindly.
Zhang Shanshan tucked her hair behind her ears and muttered softly:
"Those boys just stared at us like that. They weren't polite at all. Maybe it's because you're dressed too young, Sister Ning Meng."
Humph, she is almost 30 years old, and still wears colors that people of her age wear. She doesn't know how to be more restrained.
The girl in the pink dress next to her smiled and nodded, whispering something to her. The two of them looked at Ning Meng again and laughed.
Ning Meng glanced at them. She heard them saying that she was pretending to be young.
"It does make you look a little young, but Shanshan, the red dress you're wearing doesn't suit you very well. If you have darker skin, you can try wearing something that makes you look whiter."
You are only 22 years old, with dark yellow skin and 140cm tall. There is no need for you to wear a bright red dress, which will only make you look darker.
She turned her attention to the girl in the pink skirt who had just criticized her, "And you, little sister, actually have better-looking facial features."
When the girl heard her compliment, she smiled and sat up straight. She was very beautiful to begin with.
"But pink doesn't really suit your skin tone; it makes you look a bit darker."
After Ning Meng finished speaking, Zhang Shanshan and the girl in the pink dress's faces suddenly turned dark.
"you……"
They just stared at Ning Meng blankly, so angry that they gritted their teeth and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Aunt Li at the table saw her daughter being bullied and joked, "Ning Meng, you should sit at the same table with your mother and the others. That's the table for relatives."
The people sitting at their table were all neighbors and relatives.
"I just like sitting with you, Aunt Li. You're so nice and friendly."
Ning Meng replied with a smile, which made Aunt Li smile awkwardly, "You kid, haha." What nonsense are you talking about.
Li Meili turned her head and said unhappily, "She's not a member of our family now, she should sit with you."
Ning Shuang, who was standing next to her, immediately whispered, "Mom, stop saying those angry words. There's no such thing as a last-minute grudge between mother and daughter. Today is Jiaojiao's engagement party."
"I didn't argue with her because of Jiaojiao's engagement party."
Li Meili muttered a few words softly, and was then attracted by the voice of the host at the front desk.
"Auspicious times bring joy and auspicious days bring happy marriages. Welcome all relatives and friends to the engagement party for Wang Zijue and Ning Jiaojiao. Now, let us invite the newlyweds to give their speeches."
Everyone applauded.
Wang Zijue and Ning Jiaojiao walked onto the stage hand in hand, attracting everyone's attention like a prince and princess.
After saying thank you, they danced a duet on the stage.
Ning Jiaojiao also performed violin on the stage.
The audience praised her, saying, "You have a great daughter-in-law. She's beautiful and talented. The two of them are a perfect match."
The Wang family felt very proud, and the Ning family was also praised for their daughter's good fortune in finding such a good in-law family.
Both families are proud of themselves.
Ning Meng watched the waiter serve the dishes. Several large crabs and a plate of shrimps were placed in front of her, but unfortunately she couldn't eat much.
She can't eat crabs because they are cold in nature, but she can eat one or two shrimps to satisfy her craving.
There were many other dishes, and Zhang Shan on the opposite side was drooling as she watched them.
The performance on stage ended and the parents also gave their speeches.
It was not until 11:20 that the meal was finally served.
Ning Meng saw several aunts opposite her attacking the plate of prawns and hairy crabs. After just one round, only one prawn was left in front of her.
She did a CD operation.
In less than ten minutes, the aunts and uncles were full, and some even took out take-out boxes that had been prepared long ago.
No, you guys are going too far. She hasn't even eaten much yet.
Ning Jiaojiao came over at this time, holding a wine glass. "Everyone, eat well. There will be a fun game later. All the single sisters, please gather with me."
The aunts smiled from ear to ear, "That's great, you young sisters should have more fun."
This is to introduce potential partners to their daughters.
Several girls lowered their heads shyly, only Ning Meng stared at the leftovers on the plate in a daze.
She hasn't eaten enough yet.
