I listened to my sister's words today.
Chapter 40 Banquet
Jiang Ling looked at the bag and thought about it, wondering what else she needed to bring, so she made another bottle of milk and a bag of milk powder and put them in.
Later, when she went downstairs, she saw Yun Yiru squatting on the ground, playing something. Jiang Ling walked over and took a look, her face suddenly becoming gloomy.
Her hands were covered in mud, obviously playing with mud with water she had found from somewhere. Jiang Ling reluctantly put down her bag and walked over to a chestnut.
"Woo!"
"You're already a grown-up, and you're still playing in the mud!"
Yun Yiruo in front of him didn't care at all, instead she showed an innocent smile, which made people laugh and cry.
I saw that the flower was a little dry, so I went to ask the housekeeper for some water.
I didn't expect that when I first started watering, I felt like I had given too much, so I took some more soil to absorb the water, but it seemed like I had given too much, and then I repeated this...
This series of operations made Jiang Ling feel exhausted. She had been tossed around in this situation countless times today. She was speechless and too lazy to say anything.
"Come on, go wash your hands." She was about to take Yun Yiruo's hand, but Yun Yiruo rejected her with her dirty hands. "Don't touch me with your hands."
After some trouble in the bathroom, their hands were finally washed and dried, and everything was over.
"Okay, get in the car." As they walked out, they saw the driver had been waiting for a long time by the luxurious Rolls-Royce. When he saw the two approaching, he immediately opened the car door respectfully: "Master, please, young lady!"
As soon as they got in the car, Yun Yiruo threw her shoes aside with her feet, while Jiang Ling patiently tidied the little guy's shoes.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but ask, "Don't you really like wearing shoes?"
Yun Yiruo tilted her head and replied, "It doesn't feel very comfortable on my feet."
After closing the car door, the driver started the engine and drove away from the manor. Along the way, the little girl pressed her head against the window, watching the scenery rapidly recede outside, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity and excitement. When she felt tired, she would lie in Jiang Ling's arms and start browsing her phone.
Not long after, it stopped in front of the largest hotel in the capital, where this grand auction was being held.
When Yun Yiru was about to open the car door and get out, Jiang Ling pulled her back and said, "You haven't put on your shoes yet!" She immediately lifted her feet and cooperated very well to let her sister put on her shoes for her.
"You can get off the car now, but remember, don't run around, follow me closely."
Jiang Ling warned. However, after getting off the car, Yun Yiruo rushed towards the crowd without hesitation. After seeing the bustling crowd around, she quickly shrank back to Jiang Ling, "Wow, there are so many people, and they look so elegantly dressed!"
Jiang Ling held Yun Yiru's little hand, and the little guy's eyes wandered around, full of curiosity about new things.
At this time, they had already entered the auction site. All the major families had already gathered, and there were also many well-known families from other places.
The auction by GA Group not only involves numerous patented technologies, but also includes some scarce medicines that cannot be mass-produced. The most eye-catching of these is a mysterious pill that is said to be able to cure rare diseases and is even rumored to have the effect of immortality.
The news spread like wildfire, attracting many domestic and foreign giants and business leaders, who were willing to pay high prices for tickets just to participate in this feast in person.
When Jiang Ling got off the car, the crowd's attention instantly focused on her.
Many industry leaders approached her to greet her, but she simply smiled and didn't respond. For a moment, the situation was quite tense, and the others didn't seem angry at being ignored.
Instead, they followed with a smile, because no one dared to anger the man who controlled the global medical and pharmaceutical industry.
At this moment, a group of guests following behind discovered that there was a cute "little follower" beside them - the round little face made people laugh, and many people couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.
At this moment, Yun Yiruo was filled with anguish, but she was unable to speak out of fear. She could only complain in a low voice, "Uh-oh, big sister, please walk slower. You take one step, and I take two. Why are you walking so fast?"
As Jiang Ling stepped into the banquet hall, she seemed to have transformed into a leading wolf, leading a group of people behind her.
The little guy was panting and sitting on the chair. Jiang Ling squatted down when he saw it. Is it so tiring to walk such a short distance?
When the banquet host saw Jiang Ling come in, he immediately picked up the microphone and said a few compliments in a clear and pleasant voice.
Then, he solemnly announced the official start of the banquet. The whole hall suddenly became lively and the atmosphere became more intense.
The little girl, Yun Yiruo, sat breathlessly on the chair, her cheeks slightly flushed, her small hands tightly grasping the edge of the chair. Jiang Ling noticed her state and could not help but squat down.
"How come you're walking so fast? I was jogging all the way here!"
Jiang Ling couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed after hearing this, and thought to herself that she had always walked alone before, so naturally she had forgotten how she felt.
"I'm sorry, Yiruo, I was alone before, but I have some things to take care of next. Can you play here by yourself for a while? If you feel scared, come with me."
Yun Yiru was a little uneasy at first, but the exquisite little cakes on the table in front of her caught her attention. The colorful little cakes were placed on the plate like a work of art, making her swallow her saliva and suddenly feel that she was okay again.
"Sure, sister, go ahead and do your work, I'm fine."
"I know what you're thinking. But don't eat too much. If you do, there won't be any cake left for today." Jiang Ling reminded him with a smile. Her care and concern for the little one radiated warmth.
"I know, I know. Go and get busy!" Yun Yiru responded eagerly, with a cunning smile on her face.
Jiang Ling gave the bodyguard beside her a tacit look, then turned and left.
At that moment, this scene left everyone present stunned. Everyone wondered if they were hallucinating—Jiang Ling actually crouched down for a little girl! It was unbelievable! They also added Yun Yiruo to the list of "don't mess with" people, and at the same time, they felt a greater sense of awe in their hearts.
In the corner, an elderly lady was quietly observing the scene. She was not looking at the stunningly beautiful Jiang Ling, but at the little girl who looked somewhat like herself - Yun Yiru.
That familiar, childish face brought back long-lost memories, reminding her of a life born before, its gender still undetermined. The unspeakable pain she felt back then was now only filled with deep longing and yearning.
Next to her, her husband noticed that something was wrong with his wife's expression and patted her hand gently.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Should we find a place to sit down?" His concern made everything around him seem gentle.
