Chapter 330 Private Party
After struggling for a long time, Shen Jingjing finally chose a simple and elegant black silk long skirt. The fabric was soft and smooth, and the tailoring was very sophisticated, which undoubtedly showed off her figure.
The matching red diamond top luxury jewelry from Bulgari instantly completes the look.
Then she picked up the Chanel swan egg handbag beside her and looked at herself in the mirror. Looking at her bright and new self in the mirror, Shen Jingjing was a little dazed for a moment.
On weekdays, she is used to simplicity and comfort because it makes things convenient.
When she dresses up occasionally, she only puts on a little makeup. She has never put together a complete set of high-end and exquisite looks as carefully as she does today.
Most of the expensive clothes her daughter bought for her still had the tags on them, but looking in the mirror at this moment, Shen Jingjing felt like she was in a dreamlike trance.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Yoda jumped off the sofa when he heard the sound and ran towards the entrance with his tail wagging.
Shen Jingjing barely came to her senses and followed him. When the door opened, it was Deng Xiwen!
"Oh my God Jingjing, you are so beautiful today!" Deng Xiwen couldn't help but shout out loud at the first sight, expressing her sincere admiration.
Her eyes were full of amazement, and she looked Shen Jingjing up and down several times: "It's so beautiful, did you match it yourself?"
Shen Jingjing was a little embarrassed by the other party's reaction and nodded with a smile.
Her ability to perceive and capture beauty seems to be innate, and she rarely makes mistakes in dressing.
The black long dress is embellished with red diamond jewelry. The black and red color contrast is a timeless classic, especially with her naturally fair skin. The black and red colors look even more dazzling and charming on her, making people unable to take their eyes off her.
"I was afraid of embarrassing you, so I dressed up carefully."
Deng Xiwen nodded in satisfaction: "You are so beautiful! Jingjing, you should dress up more in the future. It would be a shame to waste such a good foundation!"
It was chilly at night, so Shen Jingjing put on a fur coat when she went out.
On the way there, the two of them rode in the back seat of the car, and Deng Xiwen and Shen Jingjing casually chatted about tonight's private party.
"The Pei family is considered a celebrity in Longcheng. Today's private banquet was hosted by Mrs. Pei. Sister Mo Ru and I have been good sisters for many years. She doesn't like others to call her Mrs. Pei, so we all call her Sister Mo Ru."
Shen Jingjing nodded in understanding, but she still looked a little reserved and nervous.
Deng Xiwen patted her hands upon seeing this, and said soothingly with a smile, "Don't be nervous. Just standing there in this outfit you're wearing today, no one will look down on you."
"I'm fine. Maybe it's my first time, so I feel a little overwhelmed."
"Everything has a first time. I'll take you to more banquets like this when I have the chance, so you can meet more friends."
"Thank you for taking care of me." Shen Jingjing looked at Deng Xiwen gratefully and thanked her.
Deng Xiwen smiled when she heard this, then turned to look at the driver's seat and said, "Old Jiang, thank you for waiting outside for several hours."
"It's alright ma'am."
The car drove all the way to the hillside outside the suburbs, and the Pei family's mansion was hidden in the green.
There were already several luxury cars parked in the open space in front of the main entrance, but it was not as bustling and bustling as expected, with no crowds of guests.
"Today's banquet is quite private, so there aren't many people. But don't worry, I've already informed Sister Mo Ru in advance." Deng Xiwen explained softly.
After entering the manor, the butler led people along the quiet path to the main villa. The view suddenly opened up. The villa was brightly lit, and the garden was also brightly decorated.
"Madam, please."
After the housekeeper led the two into the room, he turned around and walked out. The sound of talking and laughing could be heard faintly from the living room, but Shen Jingjing was no longer nervous at this time.
As soon as they followed Deng Xiwen into the main hall, someone with sharp eyes caught a glimpse of them.
"Mrs. Gu is here!"
Everyone who was originally sitting on the sofa stood up to greet them. Shen Jingjing glanced around casually and found that there were only a handful of people gathered around the sofa in the huge living room, and there were only about seven or eight people in total.
And they were all ladies, not a single man.
"Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xiang..."
"Mrs. Qi, long time no see..."
Deng Xiwen first greeted these people one by one, and finally looked at Chen Moru who was in the middle: "Sister Moru."
Chen Moru is about fifty years old, but she is well maintained. She wears a dark green satin cheongsam, paired with a crescent white pearl necklace and earrings, and her whole body exudes the charm and elegance of an oriental beauty.
She first smiled and nodded at Deng Xiwen, then her eyes fell on Shen Jingjing beside her.
The others naturally couldn't ignore Shen Jingjing and looked at her curiously.
"Xiwen, is this your friend?" Chen Moru asked in a calm voice.
Deng Xiwen took Shen Jingjing's hand and introduced her to everyone: "Let me introduce everyone, this is Shen Jingjing, my friend. Since she is new to Longcheng, I wanted to bring her out to meet everyone."
Shen Jingjing smiled at everyone, then looked at Chen Moru and said, "Sister Moru."
"welcome."
Chen Moru raised her hand and asked everyone to sit down. "Dinner will be ready soon. Today we old sisters will get together. Don't be restrained. There are no men looking at us anyway."
This one sentence caused everyone to laugh out loud.
Shen Jingjing looked at Chen Moru curiously. She had a naturally powerful aura around her, and she didn't expect that she would tell such a playful joke.
Deng Xiwen seemed to be afraid that Shen Jingjing would not be able to fit in, so after sitting down, she pulled her to meet these ladies one by one.
They were all ladies from prominent families in Longcheng. Perhaps because of Deng Xiwen's relationship, although these people looked at Shen Jingjing with inquiring eyes, they were still polite and friendly.
"Is your name the sparkly Jingjing?"
Mrs. Qi looked at Shen Jingjing and took the initiative to speak.
Shen Jingjing shook her head slightly and explained, "It's Jingjing with a grass radical and a green character."
Chen Moru asked curiously, "Judging from your accent, are you from Shenzhen or Hong Kong?"
"I'm from Funan, but I've been living in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so maybe my accent has been assimilated."
"Funan?" Chen Moru nodded gently and couldn't help saying, "I went there before the New Year. We set up a branch there and it just started operating after the New Year."
Shen Jingjing couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she heard this: "Sister Mo Ru, are you starting your own company?"
Chen Moru tilted her head and raised her eyebrows, with an unconcealable sense of pride in her eyes, and her expression was somewhat cute.
Deng Xiwen, who was standing by, said, "Sister Mo Ru's company is no smaller than Mr. Pei's. It's been listed for many years!"
Someone else echoed: "I also want to do something I like like Sister Mo Ru, but unfortunately I don't have Sister Mo Ru's smart mind and skills."
"Yes, I really admire Sister Mo Ru, but I'm more envious of her. She has her own ideas and career, and she's always strong no matter what happens."
