Chapter 97: The Spoiled Little Troublemaker (10)
The dazzling crystal chandelier hung high above the ceiling, and the light it cast was like countless tiny pieces of gold, covering the entire luxurious banquet hall.
Everyone in the hall was laughing and talking, and the wine glasses in their hands collided with each other, making crisp sounds, creating an extremely lively scene.
However, on the edge of this bustling scene, in the corner near the window, there was a slender figure that looked out of place.
The girl was wearing a white dress, which was a woven combination of French lace and delicate silk. The hem of the dress was inlaid with tiny diamonds that sparkled with light as she moved slightly, like a scattered starry sky.
The slim upper body perfectly outlines her slender waist. Her collarbone is as delicate as porcelain, with soft lines, which has quietly revealed the girlish figure. It shines with a lustrous luster under the light, attracting the attention of others.
Her long, shiny black hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands of hair hanging down on her fair neck, making her skin look even whiter than snow, revealing her innate nobility.
Her peach blossom eyes were half-closed, and her long eyelashes cast fan-shaped shadows on her eyelids like small fans. There was an inextricable loneliness and melancholy in her eyes.
Her pink lips were slightly pouted, as if hiding a lot of grievances, or as if she was extremely annoyed by the noise around her.
I noticed that Prince Jiang's gaze was fixed on a certain place.
The people who had been surrounding Prince Jiang and showing him courtesy also looked in the direction he was looking out of curiosity.
The young girl stood there gracefully, her beautiful appearance instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Someone in the crowd was the first to speak up, "So it's the eldest daughter of the Ning family! She's truly a natural beauty, so pretty."
It is undeniable that even though this girl is still young and has not completely lost her youthfulness, she has grown into such a charming and lovely girl that she has become the most beautiful and eye-catching scenery in the entire banquet hall.
It’s hard to imagine what a beautiful girl she will look like when she grows up.
but......
A young lady whose family background far surpassed the Ning family by several times sneered, "Hmph, the Ning family is nothing but a third-rate family. How dare they be qualified to attend Young Master Jiang's coming-of-age ceremony?"
As the young lady spoke, she continued to comment on her own, "And I heard that Miss Ning is not only capricious and willful, but also stirs up trouble everywhere. I wonder how much trouble she has caused for the family! What a pity for that pretty face..."
There was a distinct sense of superiority in her tone, mixed with a hint of jealousy that was difficult to conceal due to her youth.
Since the rich young lady spoke in a loud voice, the attention of people around her was attracted.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on her, but she didn't seem to notice it and continued to talk about the faults of Miss Ning.
Even Jiang Zhiran himself glanced over here.
But his eyes were as cold as ice, without any warmth at all.
He slowly said, "Of course she can, but you can't. Only someone who thinks they are noble and full of jealousy can't come to my coming-of-age ceremony."
"You can leave now. You are not welcome here."
Hearing this, the rich young lady suddenly panicked.
You know, before coming to attend this coming-of-age ceremony, her family repeatedly told her to do everything possible to please Young Master Jiang and preferably make friends with him.
Even if they can just become familiar faces, the benefits it brings to their family are immeasurable.
She prides herself on her good looks and thinks she can even compete with him. Young Master Jiang...he has never been in a relationship, right?
Most children from wealthy families mature early.
As soon as she walked in and looked around, she didn't see many people who were better looking than her, and their family backgrounds were far worse than hers.
She was feeling proud of herself, but suddenly she saw Qingwu, who was overwhelmed by her stunning beauty.
Qingwu even looks like a girl of about fifteen years old.
How could a rich young lady, who had always lived a smooth and pampered life, bear such a blow? Out of jealousy, she...
However, Jiang Zhiran ignored her and walked straight towards the girl without hesitation.
The rich young lady was ruthlessly escorted out by the expressionless security guard.
Although the security guards maintained due courtesy, their resolute attitude was irresistible.
The young lady, standing alone outside the door in the biting cold wind, began to tremble involuntarily and her face turned as pale as paper.
It was conceivable that within a night, this matter would spread throughout the entire upper class society, and she would inevitably become the laughing stock of people after dinner...
What's even more terrifying is that their family...
As everyone was staring in astonishment, Prince Jiang, who had always been arrogant and cold and indifferent to anyone and anything, walked straight towards Qingwu.
When passing by the cake area, he noticed that Qingwu seemed to look at these beautiful little cakes for a moment, so he reached out and picked up one of the most exquisite and tempting cakes and took it over.
Soon, Jiang Zhiran came in front of Qingwu.
At this moment, his usually tense and serious face was unconsciously covered with an unprecedented gentle smile that he himself was not even aware of.
He asked in a gentle, almost cautious tone: "What's your name? Why are you here alone? I saw you were looking at these cakes just now, do you want to eat them? Then just take them, I brought you one, I wonder if you like it."
After hearing Jiang Zhiran's words, Qing Wu first raised her head and glanced at him lightly.
It was just such a simple glance, but it made Jiang Zhiran subconsciously straighten his already straight chest.
The clear eyes made Jiang Zhiran dazed for a moment. His heart moved slightly and he wanted to say something, but the next second he found himself being pushed away heavily.
Even though it was just the power of a girl, because the incident happened suddenly and Jiang Zhiran had never encountered such treatment before, he couldn't help but stand there in a daze, and the cake in his hand fell to the ground.
At that moment, the originally noisy banquet hall seemed to have pressed the mute button, and the entire space suddenly became silent.
Everyone present looked in the same direction, their eyes filled with disbelief and astonishment.
Is she crazy? How dare she do this to Young Master Jiang at his coming-of-age ceremony? And when Young Master Jiang took the initiative to show his affection...
