The greenhouse was brightly lit, and some elegantly dressed ladies and young women were sitting inside chatting happily.
Young and handsome men stood in the courtyard, holding wine glasses and chatting in small groups.
"Mom, is that Qianmo?"
Bai Xiruo and Han Songyan walked happily toward the flower room, but when Bai Xiruo saw the girl standing at the entrance of the flower room, her expression suddenly froze.
At this moment, Bai Qianmo slowly turned around and happened to meet Han Songyan's eyes.
Once it was confirmed that it really was Bai Qianmo, Han Songyan's delicate face immediately darkened.
What are you doing here?
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly, "Why can't I be here?"
Song Qing actually invited Han Songyan and Bai Xiruo?
In an instant, Bai Qianmo understood Song Qing's purpose. In the month or so since she returned, Song Qing must have heard a lot about her.
Han Songyan glanced into the flower room and saw that all the ladies and young women were inside, while outside were a group of young talents. Bai Qianmo, a little girl, stood there in a very conspicuous way.
"This is not a place for you. Get out of here!"
Bai Qianmo glanced at Han Songyan with a cold expression, then turned to walk into the flower room.
Han Songyan immediately panicked, grabbed her hand, and threatened in a low voice, "Bai Qianmo, I don't care how you got in, but you can't go in now."
Bai Qianmo coldly shook off Han Songyan's hand, giving her a disdainful look: "Mrs. Bai, aren't you worried that others will find out about our relationship? In front of everyone, you're pulling and tugging like this, and people will misunderstand. You don't care, but I do."
Han Songyan said angrily, "What are you pretending for? If your father hadn't told you about the Ji family sending an invitation, how could someone of your status have entered this door?"
As if remembering something, Han Songyan frowned: "You didn't just come in as Miss Bai, did you? Bai Qianmo, have you no shame? You dare to come into a place like this? You're a disgrace to the Bai family's ancestors!"
Bai Xiruo's eyes turned colder, and a faint, mocking smile appeared at the corner of her lips: "Qianmo, really, if you wanted to come, I could have given your spot to someone else. Why resort to this method?"
“After all, no one who can come here is an ordinary person. If you are discovered later and then kicked out by the Ji family in public, how embarrassing would that be? Just listen to your mother’s advice and leave quickly before anyone notices you.”
The men outside the greenhouse seemed to have heard the commotion and all looked in that direction.
"Who is that girl?" a man asked curiously.
"The one in the white shirt?"
"The one in the pink dress."
“I’ve been watching her for a long time. She’s been lingering at the door just now, probably looking for her family.”
"She's so beautiful, how come I've never seen her before?"
The ladies inside the glass conservatory heard the lively discussion among the men at the door and were also drawn to it.
Song Qing looked up outside, her delicate face suddenly darkening.
"Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Mu, you two continue your conversation. I'm going out to meet someone."
Song Qing rushed out.
Seeing that people in the flower room had noticed them, Han Songyan urged Bai Qianmo in a cold voice, "Hurry up and leave, or we'll all be embarrassed because of you!"
"Mrs. Bai!" Song Qing walked over with a smile.
Seeing that Song Qing had left, Han Songyan glared at Bai Qianmo and quickly went to greet her: "Madam Ji, I'm so sorry that my daughter and I are late and that you had to come out to greet us personally."
While she spoke politely, Han Songyan felt a little flattered.
For someone of Song Qing's status to personally come out to greet them was undoubtedly a great honor for the mother and daughter in front of all the guests.
Although she didn't know why Song Qing paid special attention to her and Xi Ruo, under everyone's envious gaze, Han Songyan stood tall and tried her best to show off her noblewoman demeanor.
Song Qing's smile remained unchanged as she glanced at Bai Xiruo and asked, "Is this your daughter?"
"This is indeed my daughter, Xi Ruo. Xi Ruo, come and greet Madam Ji!"
Bai Xiruo immediately stepped forward obediently to greet her: "Hello, Madam Ji!"
Song Qing smiled without saying a word and withdrew her gaze, then feigned curiosity and asked, "I just saw you two arguing, I wonder what happened?"
Han Songyan's expression immediately changed, and she hurriedly explained, "It's nothing. I just saw that little girl standing there alone, so I asked her a few questions out of curiosity."
"Really? Mrs. Bai doesn't recognize her?"
Han Songyan glanced quickly at Bai Qianmo and immediately shook her head: "Don't know her!"
The smile on Song Qing's face immediately turned cold, and a sharp glint flashed in his shrewd eyes.
The host was outside, and the other guests came out one after another.
Song Qingchao glanced at the crowd behind him, then smiled and walked to Bai Qianmo's side.
In front of everyone, he reached out and affectionately took Bai Qianmo's hand.
"Let me introduce you all. This is my goddaughter, Bai Qianmo. She is the most outstanding and capable girl I have ever met. Even I, as her godmother, often have to ask her for help. From now on, this child will be living in the capital for a long time. Ladies and young ladies, please take good care of my Qianmo."
As soon as Song Qing finished speaking, Han Songyan and Bai Xiruo were suddenly startled.
Bai Qianmo is Song Qing's goddaughter.
How is this possible? How could this be?
Han Songyan looked at Bai Qianmo with a face full of doubt.
She grew up in the countryside, how could she possibly know Song Qing?
But Song Qing publicly revealed Bai Qianmo's identity, so how could it be fake?
