That's the blue of the sky!
Money alone cannot buy it.
You also need power.
What Jiang Ning wore was not just a beautiful and luxurious dress, but also a symbol of her status.
“The Si family only had one daughter in Si Huashang’s generation, and now the grandchildren only have Shi Sheng as their granddaughter. If she is not favored, who will be?”
"But not only is she lucky, she's also so beautiful. No wonder she's the daughter of Hong Kong's number one beauty and Beijing's number one scholar."
"I really envy Miss Shi. She is favored not only by the Shi family but also by the Si family."
"......"
"By the way, I heard that Miss Ryan, a noblewoman from Country P, will also be attending Madam Si's birthday banquet today. I wonder who is better, Miss Ryan or Miss Shi?"
"Miss Shi is definitely prettier."
"That's not necessarily true. Although Miss Shi is very beautiful, Europeans have more defined features. And Miss Ryan is also a famous beauty in P country. It is said that the number of men pursuing her could circle L continent several times hand in hand."
"I heard that Miss Ryan is not only here to attend Madam Si's birthday banquet, but also to China to see the divine physician Wentian."
"The Divine Physician Wentian?" someone continued, "We're already in Hong Kong, why are you looking for the Divine Physician Wentian? I've heard that Miss Shi's medical skills are excellent. Old Madam Si was on the verge of death before, and it was Miss Shi who cured her. Who knows, Miss Shi and Miss Ryan might even become good friends!"
“Become good friends? Absolutely not! Miss Ryan came to the Si family’s birthday banquet partly to see the divine doctor Wentian, and partly because of Madam Si and the deceased Master Si. Moreover, I heard that in P country, Miss Ryan’s best friend is a princess of the P country’s royal family!”
Although Jiang Ning was greatly favored by the Shi and Si families, she was ultimately not a real princess.
Did Jiang Ning become good friends with Miss Ryan first?
Disaster!
It's as difficult as ascending to heaven.
"Besides, the Divine Physician Wentian can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Can Miss Shi do that? You don't know, do you? The Ryan family has a terrible curse. The sons of their family are born with a terminal illness and will not live past the age of 28. Miss Ryan's two older brothers died at the age of 27. There is only one older brother left, who is already 27 years old this year. He is also the only heir of the Ryan family. Miss Ryan sought out the Divine Physician Wentian in order to cure the Ryan family's terminal illness."
"......"
Hearing the voices of the crowd, Jiang Ning's face remained expressionless and calm.
She remained so calm, as if she wasn't the main subject of the discussion.
Madam Si took Jiang Ning's hand and introduced her to the Si family's relatives one by one.
"Shengbao, this is your great-aunt."
"Hello, Auntie," Jiang Ning greeted politely.
Auntie held Jiang Ning's hand, her face full of kind smiles, "They're right, our Shengbao is really outstanding in appearance, as beautiful as a big star!"
After saying that, Auntie looked at Old Madam Si and continued, "Sister Anhao, Shengbao looks just like you!"
Hearing this, Old Madam Si was overjoyed. "Really?"
“Of course it’s true,” Auntie said earnestly, “Shengbao looks exactly like you when you were young!”
Madam Si was even happier. She personally escorted her great-aunt to the banquet hall. After returning, she continued to stand at the door to greet guests with her son, daughter-in-law, and Jiang Ning.
Normally, someone of Madam Si's stature wouldn't need to stand at the door to greet guests. Today is her birthday banquet, so she only needs to wait for others to come and pay their respects.
The reason he personally stood at the door to greet guests was to let everyone know Jiang Ning's status in the Si family's hearts!
Guests arrived in waves.
At that moment, Madam Shi walked in from outside with her assistant, smiling at Madam Si: "Old sister, congratulations! May you live long and healthy lives, like a rock in the Southern Mountain, blessed with both happiness and longevity."
"Thank you," Madam Si said immediately upon seeing Madam Shi. "Qiongfang, the journey is long, and your health is not good to begin with. Shengbao is here, so why did you have to make the trip yourself?"
Madam Shi continued, "You are Shengbao's maternal grandmother. How can your birthday celebration be complete without me? I will come not only this year, but also next year and the year after. When you turn one hundred, I will definitely come. You must not look down on me!"
"Qiongfang, then I'll take your good wishes. When that time comes, Huashang will surely be back, Nanxing will be better, and our whole family will be reunited!" As she finished speaking, Old Madam Si's eyes were full of longing.
She firmly believes that that day will definitely come.
Madam Shi smiled and nodded; she was also looking forward to that day.
After leading Madam Shi to her seat in the banquet hall, Jiang Ning continued to greet the guests with Madam Si and her uncles and aunts.
Just then, a murmur of conversation suddenly arose at the doorway.
"Wow! It's Miss Ryan!"
"Miss Ryan has arrived!"
