Chapter 593: Birthday Party
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Ning could not help but laugh when she saw her roll her eyes.
Her gaze fell on Shi Qingyue.
Her lips curved into a smile as she waited for Shi Qingyue to press the start button.
Lu Nings appearance undoubtedly added a lot of conversation to the banquet.
On Lin Yi’s birthday, Zhao Junli invited almost everyone she knew.
Almost the entire upper-class society of A City was here at this moment, and they were all watching Lu Ning.
Because Lù Chuan and Shi Qingyue were both present, everyone could not help but chatter among themselves animatedly, especially since Lu Ning seemed to be in a very good position. She did not look like the backvvater village girl as the rumors made her out to be.
Didn’t they say that the family Lu Ning went to didn’t have much money? They even had to do a lot of work, so everyone there had lost their luster. Yet, the Lu Ning we see now is clearly still as lively as before—in fact, she even feels a little livelier than when they were at the Lù’s household. And that was not all.
Looking at her gown and the necklace around her neck, doesn’t she look every part like a rich young lady? Where is the rumored village girl?
They did not comprehend the situation, but they did not want to offend the Lù family, so no one dared to go up and speak to Lu Ning. Hence, Lu Ning and Lin Ci were left alone.
However, there were always people who were unafraid, and they came directly to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning looked up and saw Zhao Yi.
“Uncle Zhao.’
Lu Ning stood up and greeted him politely.
Zhao Yi smiled at her, unable to hide the fondness on his face.
He really admired Lu Ning very much.
“Ningning, I didn’t expect you to come tonight. How is it? Have you thought about what Uncle told you?”
Lu Ning could not help but smile at him. “Uncle Zhao, stop joking with me. I haven’t even graduated from university.”
“Silly child, I’m saying that for after you graduate from university. So, how about joining my company? You can also work part-time at my company when you go to university. 1 don’t mind. You can decide the salary and the working hours.”
Lu Ning smiled awkwardly at him. “Uncle…”
Before she could finish, Lin Ci stood up and looked at him. “Uncle Zhao, you’re too biased. So you only want Ningning and not me? I’m also very outstanding, I’ll have you know that.”
It was only then that Zhao Yi saw her. He could not help but laugh. “Oh dear, your uncle can’t afford to support you.”
Lin Ci was upset. “Uncle Zhao, I think you’re just biased. So Ningning can do anything, but I can’t? Am 1 really that bad?”
“Ningning here will increase my sales. You here will make me bankrupt. I know you well enough.”
Zhao Yi and the Old Master had a good relationship, so Lin Ci had met him a few times and they had some pleasant chats together.
Lin Ci still liked Zhao Yi very much. At least, he was not like the others, who looked down on and ostracized others with the people around them.
As the three of them chatted and laughed, more and more people walked over one after another. Lu Ning politely greeted them one by one, her words and actions no different from before.
Lu Ning had always been someone who knew her limits, and she had a good grasp of how to talk to people. In the past, she had a good reputation in this circle. These older people liked to talk to her and would occasionally impart some of their experience to her. They all rather fancied her.
However, if there were some who liked her, then there would be some who did not. Many people were actually waiting to see Lu Ning make a fool of herself, though now it seemed that their wish had failed, as it seemed that Lu Ning was living better than before.
They wondered how she did it.. Could the rumors be completely unfounded?
