She used her mental power to detect it and only sat down to rest after confirming that there was no problem.
Around eleven o'clock, the guests invited by the Ning family entered the hotel banquet hall one after another.
In the bright and magnificent hall on the first floor, glasses were clinking and guests in various formal attire stood together in groups of three or five, toasting and chatting.
At around eleven forty, Ning Jiayue came to ask Yan Ning to go downstairs together.
Except for Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning, everyone else in the Ning family came to the banquet hall.
Sister Huo Yan took Yan Ning with her and introduced her to the ladies and girls in Hong Kong's upper-class society.
Yan Ning held a wine glass and kept a decent smile on his face as he socialized with Huo Jieyan.
During the visit, Yan Ning met Peng Shiqing and Cheng Jingyi, and exchanged a few words with them.
As they were talking, a family of three came over from a distance and greeted Huo Jieyan.
"Sister-in-law, is this little girl Yuwan's daughter?"
Huo Jieyan smiled and said, "It's her. Her name is Yan Ning and she's sixteen years old."
Huo Jieyan then introduced Yan Ning, "Xiao Ning, these two are your great-grandfather's little daughter and her husband.
You should call them aunt and uncle. This is their daughter Pei Xue Ning, two years younger than you. You should call her cousin.
Yan Ning greeted the three people with a smile, "Aunt, Uncle, and Cousin Xue Ning."
Ning Huiting smiled and handed Yan Ning a gift box, "Come here, Xiao Ning, this is a meeting gift from your aunt."
Yan Ning took it and thanked him.
Pei Xue Ning, who was standing aside, looked at Yan Ning and saw that this cousin who had suddenly appeared was beautiful and had an elegant and generous temperament.
The little girl, who always liked beautiful people and things, immediately developed a liking for Yan Ning.
Yan Ning noticed the gaze and looked over, meeting the little girl's sparkling eyes, and she smiled.
Pei Xue Ning instantly returned a bright smile, "Cousin Yan Ning, can I ask you out sometime?"
Yan Ning smiled and nodded, "Sure!"
After chatting for a few minutes, Ning Huiting and her family of three went to say hello elsewhere.
After the three figures walked away, Yan Ning asked softly, "Aunt, which branch of the Pei family is my aunt's husband from?"
Huo Jieyan: "Her husband is Pei Jiangxu, the eldest son of the fourth wife, and the sixth among the gambling king's sons.
Xue Ning is currently the youngest child among the Pei family's descendants, and the fourth among the granddaughters."
Yan Ning nodded slightly.
The situation of the Pei family in Hong Kong City is very similar to that of the He family in Macau City.
Not far away, Guan Wenjing brought several ladies from the Guan family to greet Huo Jieyan and Yan Ning.
After the few people introduced themselves to each other, Guan Wenjing pointed at a young lady of about seventeen or eighteen and said to Yan Ning:
"Xiao Ning, this is my second brother's little daughter, Guan Jiaojiao, two years older than you.
You should call me sister, and you can get together often in the future."
Then she said to Guan Jiaojiao, "Jiaojiao, you can't bully Xiaoning!"
Guan Jiaojiao said with a smile: "Such a beautiful sister, I can't bear to bully her."
Yan Ning and Guan Jiaojiao quickly became familiar with each other and stood aside chatting.
At twelve o'clock, Mr. Ning and Mrs. Ning appeared.
Old Master Ning went on stage and gave a few speeches, then called Yan Ning to the stage and solemnly announced that Yan Ning was the third young lady of the Ning family.
The next step is to present a gift to Mr. Ning.
The gifts were given first by Ning Shaoming and his wife, and Ning Shaoyang and his wife, followed by several younger generations of the Ning family.
Yan Ning stood behind several older brothers and sisters holding a long box.
When Yan Ning saw the gift box given by Ning Jiayan, he had some guesses in his mind.
Judging from the size of the box, it must be the Tang Sancai horse that Ning Jiayan bought from her.
Unexpectedly, she ended up making money for her family.
Soon it was Yan Ning's turn to present a gift.
Yan Ning walked forward and handed the box in his hand to Mr. Ning with a smile.
"Grandpa, I wish you eternal happiness and health, a smile on your face and joy in your heart, and a long and blessed life!"
"Okay, my dear granddaughter is so thoughtful." Grandpa Ning took the gift with a smile.
When he was about to hand it to the steward behind him to put it away, Mu Lao beside him said:
"Old Ning, judging by the shape of this box, this girl is giving you a painting, isn't it?"
Mr. Mu never thought that the granddaughter that Mr. Ning found was this little girl.
He thought again of the painting of Heavenly King Delivering a Child that he had bought from Yan Ning. Perhaps this little girl had other authentic works in her hands.
Like Mr. Ning, Mr. Mu loves collecting antique calligraphy and paintings. Now seeing this box that looks like calligraphy and painting, he is naturally curious to know what is inside.
Old Man Ning paused and looked at the box in his hand.
You know what, it really looks like a box for books and paintings.
But no matter what is inside, it cannot be opened on the spot to show this old man.
What if the little girl is shy and feels embarrassed to let so many people see the gift she gave?
Old Master Ning waved his hand. "What calligraphy and painting? I think you see everything as calligraphy and painting."
After he finished speaking, he handed the box to the butler behind him and signaled with his eyes that the butler should keep it well.
