It turned out to be the case.

Even her encounter with Li Chunyang was planned.

I remember the first time I met Zhang Chuchu. We were assigned to the same dormitory. She was the first one to arrive at the dormitory that day. Her mother, who was heavily pregnant, insisted on coming with her father to take her to school to register, saying that this day was a very meaningful day in her life and how could her family miss it?

Zhang Chuchu was the second to arrive at the dormitory. She entered the dormitory alone, carrying large and small bags. When Ling Yue saw this, she even helped her carry a large snakeskin bag into the dormitory.

Zhang Chuchu said she grew up in the mountains thousands of miles away, and she was the only girl from her village to go to university. I could see the pride and honor in her eyes.

Ling Yue was deeply moved and admired her from the bottom of her heart! From then on, the two became good friends. Ling Yue would share anything good with her, from cosmetics and bags to snacks. She never let Zhang Chuchu pay when they went out to eat.

In the end, how could she do this to herself?

Ling Yue thought about how she had died because of her in her past life, and about her unborn baby who was seven months pregnant...

Ling Yue carefully wiped away her tears; it wasn't worth shedding tears for someone like that.

She is no longer the naive person she was in her past life. Those who hurt her will not get away with it!

Ling Yue didn't linger. She had to pick up her younger brother from school in the afternoon, and she didn't have any classes today, so she leisurely took the subway home.

I checked the time; I'll still be home in time for lunch.

To my surprise, when I entered the house, I found my parents there, arguing endlessly over a tie.

"Weren't you having a victory celebration banquet today? Why are you still at home at this hour?"

“The baby’s back just in time. Look at the leader I chose for Dad. Today is a joyous occasion, a red tie would be so appropriate, but he absolutely refused, saying it’s too tacky. What do you think?”

Both of them were very stubborn, which gave Ling Yue a headache.

"Let me see, let me see. I'm not trying to be mean, Mom, but what era are we living in? Who still wears such bright red ties these days? They're only fashionable for your weddings, right? Didn't you say you wanted something appropriate for the occasion? Wait, I'll find one that's both appropriate and looks good, okay?"

As Ling Yue spoke, she helped her father take off his bright red tie and winked at him.

Ling Yue searched carefully in her parents' walk-in closet and finally chose a maroon tie with small blue paisley flowers on it. It looked retro and elegant, so she decided on this one!

Ling Yue excitedly handed it to her parents: "What do you think? Isn't your daughter's taste good? Isn't this color festive? Isn't this pattern fashionable?"

Liang Lina was amused by her explanation and the two finally had no objections. Ling Yue skillfully tied a Windsor knot for her father.

Mom and Dad were so shocked their eyes almost popped out.

Oh no, oh no, how could she tie a tie? In her past life, she practiced countless times to tie a Windsor knot in order to please Li Chunyang, hoping that he would praise her. Instead, she was met with impatient words saying to hurry up because they were in a rush.

But at this point, I don't know anything! How am I supposed to explain this to them?

Never mind, let's just get by for now.

"Why aren't you two leaving yet? So many people are waiting for you. Stop dawdling."

Ling Guofu was deeply moved as he looked at the tie his daughter had tied for the first time, and excitedly said "good" repeatedly.

Liang Lina was very pleased to see that her daughter had really become sensible: "Baby, don't you have no classes this afternoon? Why don't you come along? My daughter is all grown up now, it's time to make those old folks envious."

Ling Guofu readily agreed: "Yes, yes, you've always refused to go to those kinds of occasions before, but this time our family is hosting, so just go for a meal, baby."

In my past life, I did everything according to my own whims and never considered my parents' feelings.

As the eldest daughter of the Ling family, and with her younger brother still so young, she really should share some of the burden with her parents.

"Okay, wait for me for ten minutes. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and come right down."

Watching his daughter skip and hop upstairs, Ling Guofu couldn't help but wonder, "Why do I feel like my baby has become a different person?"

"I think so too, but the child is changing for the better, don't you like it?"

"How could that be? I was almost moved to tears just now, my daughter was tying my tie!"

As he spoke, Ling Guofu didn't forget to show Liang Lina Ling Yue's achievements.

A short while later, Ling Yue came downstairs, leaving Ling Guofu and Liang Lina stunned.

Ling Yue changed into a silver evening gown adorned with diamonds, featuring a semi-open back design, and wore a pair of transparent crystal shoes.

Liang Lina was the first to react: "Baby, you finally agreed to wear the dress Mom bought you! My daughter has such a great figure, she should have worn it a long time ago! Hm... it seems like something is missing, you wait here."

Excitedly, she went to her jewelry room, took out her most treasured diamond necklace, and then couldn't wait to put it on her daughter.

"That's perfect!"

Looking at the diamond necklace, Ling Yue suddenly felt as if her neck weighed a ton...

"Mom, isn't this a bit much? I'm scared. What if I accidentally lose such an expensive necklace?"

"Pah, pah, pah! It only works for bad things, and it only fits my baby. Let's go, let's go, there's no time. Dad, hurry up and call Lao Zhao to set off."

The family of three rushed to the hotel at the agreed time, only to find that the entire lobby on the first floor had been booked by the Ling family.

The host called Ling Guofu to the stage to give a speech, while Liang Lina had already gone to the VIP section to greet the guests, and told Ling Yue to take a look around first.

Ling Yue looked at her round father on the stage, whose humorous words made everyone laugh. She laughed along with him. It was so nice. She had missed so much time with her parents in her previous life.

However, what Ling Yue didn't know was that someone else was watching her from elsewhere.

"Sir, that lady in the silver dress over there is Ling Guofu's daughter. Would you like to invite her over?"

In the entire hall, this was the only table reserved for the Jing family. There was nothing they could do; after all, the Jing family was the richest family in Shanghai. Their presence was an honor.

Jing Yucheng was the only one sitting at this table.

The man hadn't looked away from Ling Yue since she entered. Hearing the bodyguard's question, he frowned and said, "Meddlesome!"

Upon hearing this, the bodyguard quickly stepped aside.

Everyone in Shanghai knows that Jing Yucheng is the most difficult person to mess with. He has a bad temper, ruthless methods, and is known as the "Living Yama".

Seeing her parents busy entertaining the guests, Ling Yue felt she had to do something too.

Turning around, I saw a table where there seemed to be only one person, silently drinking, looking somewhat lonely.

So she picked up her wine glass and slowly walked over.

"Hello sir, may I sit here?"

In fact, as she approached Jing Yucheng step by step, the bodyguards intended to intercept her, but were startled by their boss's cough and retreated.

Jing Yucheng didn't expect anyone to come up to him and chat him up; he also knew that his reputation wasn't very good.

He glanced at Ling Yue up close, her breasts barely concealed as she leaned in to ask him a question. He looked away after just that one glance; normally he would refuse in this situation, but for some inexplicable reason, he hummed in agreement.

Bodyguard: It seems that strangers have never been allowed to approach freely in the past.

"Hello, I am Ling Yue, the daughter of Ling Guofu. Thank you for coming to this 10th anniversary celebration banquet. May I ask your name, sir?"

After Ling Yue sat down, she picked up her wine glass, wanting to strike up a conversation, but the person didn't even seem to glance at her, making the atmosphere somewhat awkward. Was this person socially awkward? Was she disturbing him by approaching him so abruptly?

Ling Yue took a small sip of her drink. It was the cocktail party, and everyone was raising their glasses to talk to the people they wanted to chat with, but Ling Yue's table was eerily quiet.

Ling Yue thought it best not to bother them, so she politely asked, "Sir, I see you haven't eaten yet. Would you like me to get you some food?"

"Need not."

This time, she finally received a response, and Ling Yue was certain in her heart that this customer had social anxiety disorder.

I'm a little puzzled as to why someone with social anxiety would attend such an event?

Ling Yue didn't think too much about it. She went to get some of her favorite food. She had only taken a few bites when she heard her parents calling her. She gently wiped her mouth and hands with a napkin, picked up her wine glass, and walked over with a smile.

Since it was their daughter's first time attending such an event, Ling Guofu and Liang Lina introduced her to their friends one by one, and everyone was amazed that they didn't even know they had such a beautiful daughter.

When Ling Yue looked at the socially anxious patient again, the person was already gone.
