“Zhenting, come over here,” Li Wanqing, holding Shen Ning’s hand, greeted Li Zhenting once more.

Li Zhenting pursed his lips and walked over, his cold gaze landing on Shen Ning’s face.

The moment Shen Ning saw him, her smile froze.

“Auntie, the guests are about to enter. Please receive them here. I’ll go check over there,” Shen Ning immediately withdrew her hand from Li Wanqing’s and nodded faintly at Li Zhenting, then walked away in the opposite direction.

Li Zhenting’s gaze followed her figure, inscrutable and deep.

Li Wanqing punched him lightly and said with a smile, “You rascal, not bad. Ningning has returned, and you didn’t even tell me. You’ve prepared such a lively tea party for her, and you even kept it a secret from your own mother.”

Li Zhenting withdrew his gaze, saying lightly, “Mom, you’re thinking too much. This tea party is just for the promotion of Gu Qi’s perfume, not for anyone.”

“You…” Li Wanqing’s smile disappeared from her face. This child was still the same.

“Mom, Shen Mei has already given birth to a pair of children for me. Please don’t think too much about it,” Li Zhenting clearly understood his mother’s thoughts. He continued calmly, “You should know I’ve never loved her.”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Brat!

Li Wanqing was not pleased and felt somewhat disappointed. In her son’s eyes and heart, there was only Shen Mei. She didn’t understand what was so special about that woman that had captivated him so completely. Every time she thought of Shen Mei, it made her feel uneasy. But her son loved her, so what could she do?

Just then, a series of luxury cars arrived.

Feeling guilty towards Shen Ning in her heart, she wanted to help make this tea party a success, so she went up to greet them.

“Madam Wan, hello. Welcome to the tea party. Please follow this way.”

“Madam Li, greetings. Welcome to the tea party. Please follow me.”

Meanwhile, Shen Ning also began welcoming the pampered young ladies from the capital.

“Are you Shen Ning?” Twenty minutes later, most of the ladies had already arrived, and Shen Ning was waiting at the entrance for the few who were fashionably late. The moon tonight was exceptionally round, casting silver light like a plate. At the entrance of the hall, a young lady in her mid-twenties, accompanied by a maid, was slowly approaching.

The young lady was dressed in a pure white mid-length dress adorned with silver pearls. Her long hair was elegantly tied up, and her crystal high heels accentuated her slender, fair legs. In the moonlight, her skin looked as flawless as snow, and she appeared pure and refreshing, born with natural beauty.

Shen Ning was momentarily stunned, as she did not recognize her. However, the young lady seemed to know her name.

“Yes, I am,” she replied with a slight smile and polite manners.

Unfortunately, her secretary had taken away the guest list, and she couldn’t recall the young lady’s name. She guided her slightly awkwardly and said, “Miss, please come with me.”

She led her into the hall.

“Miss Shen, you truly have a natural beauty. You’re so beautiful,” the young lady walked beside Shen Ning, maintaining a polite smile and generously praising her.

“Oh, not at all. You’re too modest. You have a natural beauty and elegance that I can’t compare to. I’m only one-third as beautiful as you,” Shen Ning replied modestly.

Fortunately, at this moment, Secretary Li approached them.

“Miss Jiang, hello. Please have a seat over here,” she gestured towards a central guest chair, then led her away, rescuing Shen Ning from the awkward situation.

Shen Ning halted her steps and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Miss Jiang, with a smile that seemed to carry a deeper meaning, turned around and nodded to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning felt something was odd, but with her task for the night ahead, she didn’t have time to dwell on these trivial matters.

She turned and walked back towards the entrance..
