It took several hours to create Lu Youqing's look.

The stylist picked a black off-shoulder evening dress for her. Her seaweed-like black curly hair slid down her chest, setting off her snow-white skin, which looked like a blooming white lotus under the dim light.

Noble and elegant, full of silent temptation.

In Lu Si Ning's eyes, no one could be as charming and graceful as her daughter.

The dinner started at around seven o'clock. On the way, Lu Si Ning briefly introduced the rules and etiquette of attending the dinner to Lu Youqing.

Lu Youqing listened carefully.

Before getting off the car, Lu Si Ning gently raised her hand to tidy up her hair and gently reminded her, "Don't worry about anything else, just follow me closely."

"I know, mother."

Lu Youqing had seen more grand and majestic scenes before, so he was not nervous about this.

The organizer of this dinner is Mrs. Chen of Shangyu Group. Mrs. Chen's grandfather was once the Governor of Hong Kong. After leaving office, he returned to his country and was awarded the title of Baron. Her father is a businessman and her mother is British, the daughter of the Governor.

Mrs. Ho's brother is a politician and serves as the Secretary for Justice of Hong Kong. She herself runs businesses such as jewelry and some export trade.

The weight of this identity is no less than that of Lu Si Ning.

The two had dealt with each other before and got along very well. They would occasionally get together when they had nothing to do.

Mrs. Huo now likes charity work. No one will ignore the dinner parties she organizes, and there are even many people who want to go but cannot find the way.

In addition to important figures from various groups and ladies from the upper class, the dinner was attended by many celebrities who love charity.

Mrs. Huo does not like publicity, so she does not allow any media or reporters to enter.

At this time, the cars had already entered the gate of the Huo family and began to slowly line up and move forward. About a hundred meters in front of the gate, a red carpet was laid out.

Lu Si Ning got out of the car first. She was dressed the same as always. Her high black bun matched her snow-white dress perfectly. The fine pleats at the hem of her long skirt swayed gently with her steps.

She had occasionally attended such dinners in the past, usually coming alone. After getting off the car today, she did not move immediately, but waited for another figure to emerge from the car.

Everyone saw a noble and cold woman affectionately holding Lu Si Ning's arm and slowly followed her into the venue.

Those who saw this scene looked at each other, trying to figure out the woman's identity, but in the end they all just shook their heads silently.

The Lu family is a well-known family in Dongcheng. Almost everyone present has seen the family members, but this face is very unfamiliar.

Therefore, the prelude to the dinner seemed to have become Lu Youqing's home turf. Everyone was secretly curious about Lu Youqing's identity and her relationship with Lu Si Ning, so they all wanted to approach her and talk to her to find out her identity.

Even Mrs. Huo, the organizer of the banquet, heard about this and became curious. She walked slowly closer with a few people.

"Youqing, this is Mrs. Huo, the initiator of this charity gala." Lu Si Ning smiled at Mrs. Huo and introduced Lu Youqing.

"Hello, Mrs. Huo." Lu Youqing nodded slightly, with a graceful manner.

When Mrs. Huo first saw Lu Youqing, she couldn't help but feel amazed. When she saw her elegant and cold temperament, she was delighted and smiled, "Where did such a beautiful child come from? Si Ning, why don't you introduce her to me?"

Lu Si Ning glanced around and saw that many people were secretly paying attention to the movements here.

She then reached out and took Lu Youqing's wrist, and said with a smile: "You also know that I have never had a child. Not long ago, I happened to meet such a congenial person. It's like she is my daughter in my previous life, so I brought her with me."

She had prepared this statement long ago, and it was said tactfully, but most of the people present were smart and could guess what she meant.

Mrs. Huo thought about the previous conversation with Lu Si Ning, in which she had advised her to have a child of her own no matter what. At that time, her expression was always complicated.

Once, after drinking two more glasses, she said that her fate as a daughter in her previous life had not yet ended.

At the time she thought she was just drunk and talking nonsense, but she never expected that she would actually bring one here today.

"No wonder. It seems that this child has some similarities with you. I guess this is fate." If Mrs. Huo had not known Lu Si Ning for a long time and knew that she had never been pregnant, she would have really thought that this was her lost daughter.

Since Mrs. Huo said this, others naturally came forward to talk to her and offer their blessings.

The two socialites who had been following Mrs. Huo couldn't help but look at Lu Youqing with some jealousy, and there was a hint of disdain in their eyes when they spoke to her.

Lu Youqing just laughed it off.

She had read the information about Mrs. Huo that her mother had sent her. Mrs. Huo had only one son, Huo Liting, who was already 29 years old this year.

Mrs. Huo was very worried about his life-long affairs and began to look for a daughter-in-law among celebrities and aristocrats.

I think these two girls are the candidates for daughter-in-law that Mrs. Huo is looking for.

Lu Youqing guessed correctly.

Although the two of them looked down on Lu Youqing, they did not take her seriously at this time. Their attention was mainly on Mrs. Huo and the other party.

Soon, the banquet officially began.

Mrs. Huo slowly stepped onto the stage. The person accompanying her was not Mr. Huo, but Huo Liting, who was dressed in a dark-colored straight suit. He had firm brows and sharp curved features that were tinged with a hint of alienation and indifference. When he looked down at the stage, his eyes were calm and clear in black and white.

"It seems that Mrs. Huo is anxious about her son's lifelong event. She asked him to attend this charity banquet in order to get him to see her."

Lu Si Ning sat quietly below, turned her head and whispered to Lu Youqing.

At this time, Mrs. Huo had already raised the red wine in her hand to signal, and Lu Sining also cooperated and stopped talking, turning her gaze to the stage.

"It is an honor for my Huo family that you all have come to attend this charity banquet tonight. Charity is an unshirkable social responsibility for business people like us, and it is also a righteous act in the business community! ... All the funds raised from tonight's banquet will be used for drinking water projects in villages and towns in the arid western regions. It can be regarded as a small contribution to the country. Cheers to the success of tonight's fundraising!"

The people below clinked their glasses lightly and took small sips of the wine out of courtesy.

Mrs. Huo stepped forward and continued, "Today's fundraising format has changed slightly. It will be conducted in the form of an on-site auction. Each guest needs to donate an ornament of their body, regardless of the material or value, or perform a talent on the spot. The final record of the donation amount will not be based on the market value, but on the actual price of the item! What do you think?"

After saying that, she first raised her hand to take off the emerald green ice jade necklace around her neck and held it in her palm to signal.

Although this was somewhat unexpected, no one dared to disrespect Mrs. Huo.

The next second, the guests applauded, showing their attitudes.
