Two nights later, Sheng Nuan followed Sheng Lingshan to the location of the engagement banquet.
The engagement party was held in a five-star hotel, far away from their residence. Sheng Nuan originally wanted to find a car, but Sheng Lingshan told her that Leslie had arranged for someone.
It was also at this time that Sheng Nuan realized that Leslie had arranged many people for their mother and daughter.
Sheng Lingshan smiled and looked helpless: "Leslie was worried that you would be angry with him before and didn't want you to know. Only recently did these people show up."
The neighbors in the old community were also attracted by the battle downstairs, and they all poked their heads around. After looking around, the mother and daughter got into the car, and Sheng Lingshan and Sheng Nuan discussed changing their residence.
Although there are memories of her childhood here, it is not a suitable place for Sheng Nuan to live.
After all, Sheng Nuan is not only her daughter, but also Ivy Norman of the Norman family. She cannot let her daughter stay here with her willfully.
Neither the living environment nor security issues can be guaranteed.
Sheng Lingshan actually vaguely sensed something. Something must have happened on Leslie's side, so she suddenly strengthened the protection of their mother and daughter.
Although she is very nervous, she is not stupid. She will not be stubborn at this time and cause safety risks to her and her daughter.
Sheng Nuan could guess what was going on, so she agreed without hesitation.
The bodyguard of the co-pilot in front immediately said that a new residence would be prepared as soon as possible.
Not long after, Sheng Nuan took Sheng Lingshan's hand and walked into the banquet hall. As soon as she entered, she accidentally saw Sheng Mian and her mother on the other side.
Sheng Lingshan's friend also knew Sheng Nuan's uncle. Sheng Nuan's uncle was stationed abroad during this period, so it was Zhou Ru and her daughter who came to the banquet.
And what Zhou Ru was wearing around her neck was the same necklace she borrowed from Sheng Lingshan.
The mother and daughter forced themselves to use a fake necklace to make sure that Sheng Lingshan would not fall out with them because of a necklace.
Sheng Nuan had already told Sheng Lingshan about the fake necklace, so when she saw the mother and daughter, Sheng Lingshan ignored them and walked inside with Sheng Nuan.
Soon, the host of the banquet warmly welcomed Sheng Lingshan to talk, while Sheng Nuan was dragged away to call someone.
"Oh, this is Nuan Nuan. She has grown so big; look at her appearance. Oh, I really regret that I didn't have more sons; otherwise, I would have asked Nuan Nuan to be my daughter-in-law."
"Haha, it's okay, you. I don't have an extra son in my family. Come, Lingshan, and after drinking this glass of wine, we will become in-laws."
Sheng Nuan is familiar with this kind of scene. After dealing with it for a while, she only drank one cocktail, and then she was able to escape, spend the day bored, and hide in a deserted place.
She was not interested in listening to these aunts sitting together complaining or comparing with each other.
But as soon as she turned around, she was caught off guard and bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry."
"Sheng Nuan, it's you..."
Sheng Nuan saw that it was Gu Lanfeng.
Gu Lanfeng was tricked by his mother. When he got closer, he saw a girl standing there with her back to him.
His mother was always keen to introduce him to a partner and encouraged him to get married when he reached the legal age, saying that he should go to his own school and have a child for his mother to play with.
Is this because I have reached the level of the tuba and want to practice the trumpet?
Gu Lanfeng was speechless and was about to find an excuse to slip away, but he was caught off guard and bumped into Sheng Nuan, who turned around and wanted to slip away as well.
Gu Lanfeng was lost for a moment.
Sheng Nuan was wearing a lilac-purple dress with a one-neck collar, revealing her round shoulders and slender collarbones. Her long, flaxen hair was scattered, making her skin as white as porcelain and milk. Under the crystal lamp, her eyes are actually dark green.
She was caught off guard and bumped into his arms. When the girl raised her eyes and looked over, the shock at that moment was a bit big.
He didn't come back to his senses until Sheng Nuan stood up straight and took a step back.
"Are you okay?" Gu Lanfeng asked warmly.
Sheng Nuan shook his head. "I still have something to do; let go first."
Then Gu Lanfeng saw that the girl didn't even look at him and hurriedly tried to avoid him.
He subconsciously wanted to speak, but at this moment, a voice next to him sounded: "Nuan Nuan, Lanfeng..."
Sheng Mian walked over with two girls of about the same age holding the hem of her skirt and smiled at Gu Lan Feng. Then he looked at Sheng Nuan and smiled very kindly: "Nuan Nuan, long time no see. I heard that you saved the day for me at the last school anniversary. I haven't thanked you yet."
Sheng Nuan immediately became excited when she saw the provocation in Sheng Mian's eyes. She smiled and said, "Yes, Teacher Wang also said that you had been practicing for a long time, but you didn't expect that I could go on stage without even practicing."
Sheng Mian's expression froze slightly, and then he looked at her sadly: "Nuan Nuan, are you still angry about what happened at the teaching office last time? I didn't expect anyone to find the teacher. What's more, I don't blame you either. Nuan Nuan, let's let that matter go. Okay?"
Before Sheng Nuan could say anything, a person next to Sheng Mian suddenly said with a smile, "Mianmian, is this your cousin who likes to pretend to be white and rich?"
"I heard that she is of mixed race, but she doesn't look like it. Where did you get into it?"
"This dress is good. Where did you rent it? It should be quite expensive. You have to be careful; it will cost a lot if it gets dirty."
Gu Lanfeng's face that was getle slowly sank.
Sheng Mian caught Gu Lanfeng's expression and immediately stopped her companions: "Don't say that. Nuan Nuan is my cousin, but Nuan Nuan, Meng Meng also kindly reminded you to protect your dress, otherwise you will really have to pay compensation. I can't afford it."
Sheng Nuan opened her eyes and said exaggeratedly, "No, no, do people still rent dresses in this era? Is it possible that all your dresses are rented?"
Sheng Mian suddenly stiffened: "..."
At this moment, a voice sounded from the side.
"Wow, so this is your dress?"
A young woman walked over quickly and looked at Sheng Nuan's dress with bright eyes: "This dress was designed by Mr. Rosa, and it is a set. The adult version is called Yue. Fog, and the girly version is lilac. I heard from the teacher that this dress was specially shipped back to China by a gentleman as a gift to his wife and daughter. I didn't expect to see it here."
The woman held Sheng Nuan's hand with a feverish expression: "Miss, can you lend it to me for two days after you wear it? I really like it so much that I swear I will keep it properly. I just want to see it, just have a look. In exchange, I can give you one of my dresses. I'll give you the dress I designed."
The woman looked enthusiastic. Sheng Nuan was a little confused and subconsciously wanted to get rid of her, but the woman was very strong and refused to let go.
At this moment, a tall man in a black suit with a Western face and a cold and serious expression suddenly appeared next to him. He picked up the woman and put her aside. He stood in front of Sheng Nuan with an expressionless face, looking completely foreign. His expression seems to say, "Don't get too close."
Sheng Mian and the others, as well as the surrounding guests, were a little shocked.
Sheng Lingshan walked over quickly. "What happened, Swart?"
She explained in a black suit in stiff Chinese, "Someone offended Miss Norman."
Sheng Nuan was made uncomfortable by the people around her, so she could only open her mouth to explain, "I'm fine. That person should be a designer."
Sheng Lingshan hummed, "Swart, don't be too nervous."
The black suit didn't move but looked at Sheng Nuan.
Sheng Nuan waved his hand. "I'm fine; you can go."
The black suit immediately nodded respectfully and said, "Yes."
The black suit quickly disappeared from everyone's sight, and the eyes of the people around him began to become complicated.
The host of the banquet knew something and came over helplessly and amusedly to take the frightened designer away.
The designer stumbled: "Did I do something wrong?"
The host of the banquet looked sympathetic: "You and your teacher have lived in country Y for several years; haven't you heard of the Norman family?"
The designer froze immediately, her eyes widening in disbelief. "You mean...?"
The host of the banquet nodded helplessly and sympathetically.
