Ming Jing hooked her lips: “I’m not surnamed Zhu nor Shen; my name is Ming Jing.”
“Got it, got it, Miss Ming, haha.” Zhao Qin laughed heartily.
When she laughed, everyone else was alarmed.
Ming Jing actually had such a good relationship with Zhao Qin; they weren’t even in the same circle.
This Miss Zhu seemed to have a lot of power; she managed to become friends with two people who seemed to have nothing in common.
“Mr. Ran, thank you for your presence. I will toast you with tea instead of wine.” Ming Jing raised the water glass in her hand and smiled lightly.
Everyone saw this usually unapproachable Master Xiao, smiling like a spring breeze, looking like a gentle and kind big brother to those who didn’t know him.
This was even more shocking!
Ran Tengxiao raised his wine glass, his gaze lingered on Shen Zhou, then fell on Ming Jing’s face. His pitch-black pupils were like two deep pools, unfathomable.
“Congratulations, Mr. Shen, for having such an excellent sister, I am very envious just looking at her.”
Zhao Qin slammed angrily: “Cousin, isn’t my sister good enough for you? You are even jealous of others.”
Ran Tengxiao raised his cup, hooked his lips, and drained it in one gulp.
Shen Zhou said indifferently: “You can only be envious.”
He’s really Elder Theodore Shelby’s son; he doesn’t mince words when speaking.
After drinking the tea in her cup, Ming Jing smiled and said: “There are many guests tonight, please forgive me if there are any shortcomings in our hospitality.”
Ming Jing left with Shen Zhou, and the cold dishes were removed, and the main dishes began to be served.
The Shark Fin and Bear’s Paw dish left countless people lingering and wanting more, as expected from Dechang Building’s signature dish.
“Is the mysterious owner of Dechang Building also Shen Zhou?”
“I think it’s possible because no one could have guessed that Yunmeng Villa was Shen Zhou’s private property before.”
“How rich is Shen Zhou?” This was a unanimous question from everyone.
“Do you see those two identical young girls sitting in the main seats? They must be twins. They’re so cute and beautiful!”
“You are ignorant; those are Miss Zhu’s juniors, who Miss Zhu treats as her own sisters.”
“To sit beside Madam Shen, these two little ladies are really fortunate to follow Miss Zhu.”
“Madam, you’re really like a Buddha. You resemble the Guan Yin Bodhisattva.” Ming Chen raised her brilliant little face and spoke sweetly.
“Oh, I dare not disrespect the Guan Yin Bodhisattva.” Madam Shen pinched Ming Chen’s face, lovingly.
“Your second sister is so lucky to have you two cute little sisters. I really want to kidnap you back to my house.”
“That’s not going to happen. Even though I really like Madam, my second sister would be heartbroken.”
Madam Shen burst out laughing, “I’ll tell your second sister, I don’t have a daughter, so you can be my daughter.”
Ming Chen shook her head: “Madam is of the same generation as Shen Zhou; if I became Madam’s daughter, I would have to call my second sister aunty. That’s not acceptable.” Ming Chen shook her head resolutely.
Madam Shen couldn’t stop laughing, “You are such a clever little thing!”
Ming Chen was lively and active, while Ming Ti sat upright, not moving a muscle. At a young age, she already showed great demeanor.
Madam Shen glanced at her, “What do you think, Ming Ti?”
Ming Ti said seriously, “Madam has a deep and profound blessing. We don’t have the fortune to be Madam’s daughters.”
That little mouth was so skilled at speaking, even words of refusal made people happy.
Opposite Mrs. Gu sneered, they were truly taught by Ming Jing; their flattery skills were unparalleled.
Lin Qing ate the famous Shark Fin and Bear’s Paw dish, but it tasted like wax.
Ming Jing hasn’t been here from beginning to end.
She must still be blaming herself.
Zhu Wentao said, “When the banquet is over, go find Ming Jing. There’s no grudge between mother and daughter that lasts beyond one night.”
Lin Qing glared at him, “I didn’t see you caring about her before.”
Businesspeople are indeed calculating by nature.
“She’s my biological daughter; of course, I care about her. No matter what, her surname is Zhu. Remember that.”
Lin Qing thought of Zhu Xiangxiang’s words and couldn’t find peace in her heart.
She looked toward the white figure not far away. Ming Jing moved among the powerful people Lin Qing was afraid of, without any hint of arrogance or humility, calm and composed. Countless people praised her elegant demeanor; having such a daughter should have been a great source of pride.
However, Lin Qing didn’t feel the slightest bit happy; she always felt uneasy, and she dared not delve into the source of this uneasiness…
Finally, when the banquet ended, Ming Jing sent off the guests and escorted Elder Theodore Shelby back home.
