Su Lin held Ning Siyu's hand and looked at her with a smile in her eyes.

"I've heard Jin Cheng mention you a long time ago, but today is the first time I see you. You're such a good kid." Su Lin patted the back of her hand gently, "I'll give you this bracelet."

As she said this, she was about to take off the very nice bracelet on her wrist and put it on Ning Siyu. Ning Siyu was startled. She looked at Lu Jincheng at a loss, but she didn't dare to pull her hand back directly, as that would be too rude.

In the end, it was Lu Jincheng who let Ning Siyu accept the bracelet and wear it on her slender wrist.

Su Lin nodded with satisfaction. "It is indeed more beautiful when worn by young people. Young people nowadays always like to wear diamonds and platinum, but in my opinion, jade and emerald are the best items to enhance your temperament."

The lights of the banquet were bright, and the bracelet looked even more beautiful. Ning Siyu's eyes sparkled, and her heart was warm. Everyone in the Lu family was very friendly to her, except for Lu Jinxiao. That person was the most annoying. He actually did such a bad thing!

I didn't see this person today, which is great.

"Mom, I want to bring Jincheng to meet my friends." Gu Shaoyu said with his teeth bared. His friends didn't believe at all that he and the heir of the Lu family were good friends, and they said he was bragging. Today, he would let these bad friends see whether he was bragging or not!

Lu Jincheng looked at Ning Siyu, the tenderness in his eyes almost drowned her, "Siyu, I'll be back soon."

Ning Siyu smiled and nodded. Su Lin sighed. Ning Siyu was the only one left in her son's eyes. She felt a little sad. Fortunately, Lu Yaoguang noticed her little emotion, put his arm around her shoulders, and whispered something in her ear.

"Okay, let's go over there and talk, leaving time for the men to talk." Wu Manwen had long seen through Gu Shaoyu's thoughts. He and Lu Jincheng hadn't seen each other for a long time. He had a lot more friends, whom Lu Jincheng didn't know. At this moment, he was walking around the venue with his arm around Lu Jincheng's shoulders.

Not long after Lu Yaoguang sat down with Su Lin, a friend came over to say hello to him. It was a friend he hadn't seen for a long time. He said something to Su Lin, then walked away a little with his friend, holding his glass of wine.

The remaining few women gathered together, eating cakes and chatting leisurely.

Many people came up and talked to Su Lin. Su Lin took the opportunity to introduce Ning Siyu to her friends.

"So this is the daughter of the Wu family. I've heard a lot about you." The man was a middle-aged man with a beer belly and a slightly balding head. As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Lin got angry and Ning Siyu was embarrassed.

"Mr. Jia has misunderstood. Our Jincheng and the daughter of the Wu family broke up a long time ago. Miss Ning, it seems that Mr. Jia is not very well-informed." Su Lin said with a wry smile and gently pulled Ning Siyu's wrist.

Wu Manwen also discovered that Mr. Jia did not think before speaking, and said angrily, "I believe Mr. Jia came here to sincerely wish me a happy birthday. I think it's better not to say these unnecessary words." She almost wrote the word "kick him out" on her face. How could this Mr. Jia not read her expression at all? When drawing up the guest list, she said not to invite this person. Unexpectedly, her husband Gu Yi said that this person might be useful in the future. Anyway, he was not an important person, so it didn't matter whether he came or not.

Mr. Jia could hardly hold back the smile on his face. He didn't pay much attention to the breakups and reunions of these young people and only cared about business matters. He didn't expect that he would offend someone by just speaking. He could only apologize with a smile and ran away in shame without saying a few words.

Ning Siyu was a little depressed by this episode, and she didn't even hear Su Lin talking to her. Su Lin shook her head, thinking that Miss Ning was still too young to face such an embarrassing situation calmly. She and Wu Manwen looked at each other and understood each other's intentions.

"Don't take it to heart. We are not familiar with Mr. Jia. Strictly speaking, we are competitors. But it seems that he is not a competitor of the Lu family." Su Lin took a sip of champagne without even glancing at Mr. Jia. "The Wu family is indeed a big family, but their children are not ambitious. Our Jincheng doesn't like them, and I won't take them too seriously. Do you understand? The most important thing for a girl is her character. We cannot choose our background, which is given by our parents, but we can choose our future path and life."

"Your aunt Su is right. We in the Gu family won't have much contact with people like this. At most, we'll just be nodding acquaintances." Wu Manwen saw that Ning Siyu was in a bad mood and comforted her. She was the protagonist of the banquet. If she made the guests feel unhappy, she would also be unhappy.

Su Lin's words were like a spring breeze that swept away the embarrassment and irritability in Ning Siyu's heart. She looked up at Su Lin and thought that she looked really gentle, intelligent, and a very charming woman.

"Thank you, Aunt Su. I'm really happy to have elders like you and Aunt Wu who are both gentle and wise." Ning Siyu expressed her sincere gratitude. She grew up in an orphanage, and the ones who accompanied her the longest were the director and orphans like her. She had never experienced such a warm feeling like that of family.

"Silly child." Su Lin smiled and clinked glasses with her.

In the crowd not far away, although Lu Jincheng was dragged by Gu Shaoyu to meet many people, his eyes lingered on Ning Siyu from time to time. Seeing that she was chatting so happily with her mother, he felt a little relieved.

But before he could feel at ease for a few minutes, something happened over there.

It turned out that the Gu family had also invited Zheng Mingxi and Yu Yingtong to come. With the status of the Gu family, it was more than enough to invite these two people, but no one expected that Zheng Mingxi would bring Yu Yingtong all the way to Ning Siyu and Su Lin. Zheng Mingxi had a smile on his face and looked straight at Ning Siyu. His intention was self-evident.

Gu Yi frowned. He knew his wife hated being looked at by others. He stood in front of several women and extended his hand to Zheng Mingxi. "It turns out that it is President Zheng who has come. Please come this way. This place will be left to the women."

Although Zheng Mingxi was very reluctant to be taken away by him like this, he did not expect Ning Siyu to come here as well. This was a pleasant surprise for him. This woman was better than Yu Yingtong in both figure and appearance. She was a top-notch beauty. However, with so many people here, he couldn't do it so obviously, so she just followed him and walked not far away.

Yu Yingtong stayed where she was. As a first-line star, she could not show her status at all by coming to such an occasion. But Zheng Mingxi said that if she did not come, she would give the resources to Li Mengyao. Recently, with the preheating of the short drama, her popularity has also risen sharply. Although she has not surpassed Yu Yingtong, her future is bright and the company will definitely focus on cultivating her.

She absolutely couldn't let this happen! At this time, many ladies came forward to talk to Su Lin and the others, talking about trivial matters in life. Some of the words were not good for the young girl to hear, so she went to another place with several ladies.

Yu Yingtong greeted Ning Siyu with a smile and started chatting with her in a familiar manner.
