Pei Xuening took Yan Ning's arm and said, "It's not too late. The others I invited haven't arrived yet. Cousin Ning, let's go in first!"
She just held a small birthday party for her birthday this time.
I invited four or five good friends to celebrate.
The rich and famous girls in Hong Kong only hold a large birthday party when they turn 18.
At the same time, ladies and young ladies from Hong Kong's upper class society were invited to attend.
On normal birthdays, we just hold a birthday party and invite a few sisters to celebrate.
The two of them went into the house.
The living room was decorated with flowers and balloons of various colors, and on the table in the middle were various drinks, snacks and small cakes.
Pei Xuening pulled Yan Ning to sit on the sofa, "Cousin Ning, please help yourself to whatever you want to eat or drink."
At this time, Ning Huiting came out of the kitchen, "Xiao Ning is here."
Yan Ning smiled and greeted, "Aunt."
Ning Huiting came over and sat down, "Xiao Ning, I saw the award ceremony of the Paris Jewelry Competition that you participated in some time ago on TV.
I didn't expect you to be so talented at such a young age and actually won the first prize.
By the way, I saw on TV that Master Bernard presented you with the award. Did you talk to Master Bernard at that time?
Yan Ning smiled and said, "I had the honor of speaking with Master Bernard for a few words."
Ning Huiting sighed, "Being recognized by Master Bernard shows that you are really talented in jewelry design.
Among the younger generations of our Ning family, you are the only one who is good at design.
If you can become a top master like Master Bernard in the future, it will bring honor to the Ning family."
Yan Ning raised his eyebrows slightly, "I dare not take on the responsibility of bringing glory to the Ning family. We have many outstanding descendants in the Ning family.
But since I am a member of the Ning family, I will definitely try my best not to be a drag."
She didn't dare to make any promises and put herself on the responsibility.
Although she thought so in her heart, she would not say it out loud.
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Naturally, a designer who doesn’t want to be a top master is not a good designer.
Pei Xue Ning said from the side: "Mom, cousin Ning is already great. There are countless contestants in the Paris Jewelry Competition.
Cousin Ning was able to stand out from all these people and win first prize. In my heart, Cousin Ning is no worse than the master."
Yan Ning chuckled and said nothing.
Ning Huiting smiled dotingly, "Yes, yes, your cousin Ning is so amazing, so you should also study hard."
Pei Xue Ning nodded, "Of course, I want to be like my elder sister and second brother and work hard to get into Cambridge University in Eagle Country in the future."
Ning Huiting was surprised for a moment, then said happily: "Since you have such lofty ambitions, if you really get admitted to Cambridge in the future,
Then I will grant you one wish, no matter what it is."
Pei Xue Ning was very excited. "Really? Mom, you have to keep your word. Don't go back on your word when the time comes. I have cousin Ning to testify for me!"
Ning Huiting smiled and nodded, "Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"
"Oh yeah!" Pei Xue Ning shouted happily.
It was almost five o'clock, Ning Huiting went into the kitchen and told the servants to start preparing dinner.
Yan Ning and Pei Xue Ning were chatting in the living room.
After a while, the friends invited by Pei Xue Ning arrived one after another.
There were six girls in total.
Pei Xue Ning introduced everyone to each other one by one.
Several young ladies recognized Yan Ning as the girl who won the first prize in the Paris Jewelry Competition.
But today was Pei Xue Ning's home game, so the matter was not mentioned.
Two young ladies plan to get acquainted with Yan Ning later.
Several young ladies presented their gifts, and Yan Ning also took out a gift from her handbag and gave it to Pei Xue Ning.
One of the ladies, named Chen Xuan, said:
"Xue Ning, we have prepared a birthday present for you with great care.
Why don’t you open it now and see if you like our gift.”
When Chen Xuan saw that the gift Yan Ning gave her was only the size of her palm, she felt a little embarrassed.
What can be put in such a big box?
It's such a small thing, I'm afraid it's not worth much!
The other ladies were stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Chen Xuan to do this.
I have never heard of any young lady opening gifts given by others in front of others on her birthday.
This behavior is too rude.
Yan Ning happened to be standing diagonally opposite Chen Xuan and saw the expression on her face.
She sneered in her heart, it seemed that the other party was coming for her.
Although Pei Xue Ning is young, she was born in the complicated family of Pei family. How could she be a naive person who knows nothing?
She smiled faintly and said, "You are all my friends. I like any gift you give me.
I'll take it apart when I'm free tonight. It's getting late, so let's go to the restaurant for dinner first."
Chen Xuan rolled her eyes and looked at Yan Ning with a smile, "Xue Ning, your cousin looks familiar to me. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.
Is she the designer who won first prize at the Paris Jewelry Competition, as seen on TV a few days ago?!"
Yan Ning raised an ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth, and watched quietly to see what she was trying to do.
Pei Xuening smiled and said, "Yes, my cousin won the first prize in this year's Paris Jewelry Competition."
“Since your cousin is a designer, the birthday gift she gave you must be jewelry she designed herself!
Xue Ning, please open the gift your cousin gave you and show it to us.
We also want to see what kind of jewelry the first-prize winning designer designed. We had only seen her brooches on TV before.
We are so lucky to have the opportunity to see the jewelry designed by your cousin.
Xue Ning, you are always generous, so you must be willing to open it and share it with us, right?"
Chen Xuan looked at Pei Xue Ning with admiration and envy.
Every word he said praised Pei Xue Ning highly, making it impossible for her to refuse.
The smile on Pei Xue Ning's face faded a little.
I didn't expect that she would misjudge people sometimes.
This Chen Xuan usually just plays around a little and you wouldn't be able to tell, but it turns out she is such a scheming person.
If she agreed at this time, and if the jewelry that Cousin Ning gave her was not the one she designed herself, wouldn't that make Cousin Ning embarrassed?
But if she didn't agree, would they think that Cousin Ning's gift was shameful and look down on her?
No one sitting in the living room spoke, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.
At this time, Ning Huiting changed her clothes and went downstairs. Seeing the situation in the living room, she asked curiously:
"Xue Ning, what's wrong with you guys? Why isn't anyone talking or chatting?"
