Stealing the moonlight into my arms

Chapter 175 The lingering ghost

The Xiao family entertained their guests by booking an entire manor.

After all, the protagonist today is Xiao Hongshen, and as Mrs. Xiao, Weng Yuqing is naturally surrounded by a group of rich ladies.

When a group of rich ladies dressed in jewels and precious stones gathered together, Weng Yuqing was naturally the most conspicuous one.

She was surrounded by compliments. Some praised her increasingly good complexion, some praised her beautiful clothes and jewelry, and some praised her two excellent children.

People like to hear nice words, and it doesn’t matter whether those words are sincere or not.

"Mrs. Xiao, I heard that you're still planning to choose a fiancée for the Second Young Master today? The Second Young Master is so outstanding, what kind of family background can be a good match for him?"

When Weng Yuqing heard someone praising his son, the smile on his face became even brighter.

"That's not true. Our family isn't old-fashioned, and we don't care about matching up. As long as the children like each other, that's all that matters. Isn't the purpose of parents to think about their children?"

Weng Yuqing sounds open-minded when he says this, but if you really take it to heart and think that you are introducing someone who is not a good match for you, then you are the one with a problem.

Someone echoed, "Yes, I don't think I've heard that the eldest son's wife has a very good family background. She's been married for three years, but I haven't heard who her daughter is."

After all, the eldest son of the Xiao family didn't even have a wedding at that time. I heard that he just invited the elders in his family to a simple ceremony.

When Weng Yuqing heard Xiao Jingting's name, his expression obviously did not look so good, but he still had to maintain a good smile on his face.

She smiled and said, "Yes, our Jingting was in a free love relationship at the time, and we respected his ideas. He could marry whoever he wanted, and we didn't interfere too much. But now it seems that the child's vision is not good."

Having said this, she deliberately kept the conversation a secret and paused.

Someone beside him understood what he meant and took the initiative to ask, "Mrs. Xiao, what do you mean?"

Weng Yuqing continued down the stairs, saying, "The love between this couple couldn't withstand the test of marriage. The wife had been married for three years and had no children, so they divorced a while ago."

"Oh, that's why you still don't have a child after three years. After all, children are the bond of a marriage. You won't get far without them."

"That's right, my wife is about to give birth to her third child."

After listening to these conversations, Weng Yuqing felt a lot more at ease.

Now that Fu Runing is gone, she feels that life is much more fulfilling for the Xiao family.

That damn girl looks soft, and usually says "okay, okay, yes, yes", and seems to be humble and submissive, but she is very stubborn and tries to sow discord between the old lady and the old man from time to time.

Weng Yuqing had been wanting her to get out of the Xiao family for a long time, and now it finally happened.

But listening to these compliments, she still said hypocritically: "That's not the case. Marriage is not just for having children. This is an old feudal concept. If you have a suitable girl around you, you can also look for one for our Jingting."

Everyone present knew the complicated relationship of the Xiao family.

The second son, Xiao Yanting, is Weng Yuqing's biological son, while the eldest son is the child left behind by her elder sister. How can it be clear which is more important?

Someone looked to one side of the banquet hall and asked, "Mrs. Xiao, isn't that the eldest son? He seems to have a female companion with him."

Hearing this, Weng Yuqing raised her eyes and looked over. This glance wiped out 30% of the smile on her face.

Why is it so haunting?

Not far away, Fu Runing walked into the banquet hall holding Xiao Jingting's arm. Wherever they went, people turned back and greeted them.

They still look like a couple.

Fu Runing's face may have become familiar to Xiao's relatives after the ancestor worship and the shareholders' meeting, but she is a new face among these families with whom they have business dealings.

But she learned one thing from Xiao Jingting, that is, being aloof.

When Xiao Jingting returned the greeting, she would smile as well. When Xiao Jingting nodded to someone, she would just nod as well.

There is no need to talk or socialize.

To use Xiao Jingting's words at the shareholders' meeting, if he could have made a name for himself by forming cliques and being good at socializing, he would not have been able to hold on to his position in the Xiao family.

As they walked past the bustling crowd, Fu Runing whispered in the man's ear, "Your aunt is looking at me."

"Let her see."

Fu Runing asked again, "Don't you want to go over and say hello?"

"You want to say hello?"

"Do not want to."

How could she possibly want to say hello to Weng Yuqing? She wished they would never meet again in her lifetime.

In the past, Weng Yuqing not only tortured her at home, but also wanted her to work at Yusong Media and kept her under his watchful eyes.

These would be fine, but the key point is that Weng Yuqing deliberately put Rong Ruo in front of her.

This is just to disgust her on purpose.

Although Xiao Jingting has not yet given her a satisfactory explanation on the issue of Rong Ruo, she knows that someone is deliberately trying to make her misunderstand.

It seems that Weng Yuqing has also made a lot of efforts.

Xiao Jingting said in a deep voice: "Then don't go."

"Where's your dad?"

"If you don't want to go, don't go."

Fu Runing nodded, "I don't want to go."

"Okay," he agreed.

Fu Runing thought to herself, he is really crazy now, and he doesn't even take Xiao Hongshen seriously.

Over there, the wives around Weng Yuqing were waiting for Xiao Jingting to come over and say hello, and by the way, get a chance to meet the current president of Xiao Group.

Who knew that the two people passed by them and just walked past them without even stopping, and went straight to the old man and the old lady.

Weng Yuqing's face also looked ugly.

But he still had to maintain his dignity in front of others and said with a smile: "They went to say hello to the old man first, which is polite."

Others around him followed suit and complimented him.

Even when Weng Yuqing farts, someone praises him.

She was so angry that she couldn't vent her anger, and her eyes were searching the banquet hall for Xiao Hongshen.

Suddenly, her sight stopped at the entrance to the banquet hall. It was just a blurry figure, but it frightened her so much that her hair stood on end and her palms suddenly began to sweat.

It's a woman's back.

Only after the woman turned around and saw the man's face clearly did Weng Yuqing let out a deep breath.

Not that face.

She found an excuse to separate from this group of wives.

She didn't know if she felt guilty about it all these years, but she thought everyone looked like that damn sister. If the eyes or nose looked even slightly similar, she would be scared and break out in a cold sweat.

Weng Yuqing stared at the direction of the woman and saw a young man following her. She knew the young man, it was Feng Yan. He took his mother's surname. The Feng family was also a wealthy family. Feng Yan's grandfather intended to arrange a marriage between him and Ruirui.

"Mom, it's Brother Feng Yan." Xiao Qinrui pulled Weng Yuqing's arm, her words carrying some girlish shyness.

Seeing his daughter like this, Weng Yuqing actually smiled and said, "You've only met him a couple of times, and you're already attracted to him?"

Although Xiao Qinrui was shy, she said frankly: "He is my type."

Weng Yuqing said, "If you like him, hold on to him tightly. He has a good family background."

"Yeah! I'll go say hello to them."

Xiao Qinrui took the initiative to walk towards Feng Yan.

But before she could get closer, she saw the woman next to Feng Yan raised her hand and waved in another direction.

When Xiao Qinrui looked over there, it turned out to be Fu Runing, who was dressed gorgeously and standing next to the old man and the old lady, seeming to attract everyone's attention.

Song Huizhen has poor eyesight, so she has to squint to see the person over there, but she still can't see his face clearly.

"Ningning, who are you greeting?"

"My next-door neighbor's brother and his family." The person standing in the direction Fu Runing waved was Su Qing.

"Oh, it's someone you know."

Song Huizhen withdrew her gaze, but her eyes would look in that direction from time to time.

Looking at me from such a distance, I thought I saw my daughter-in-law from back then. She really looks similar in figure and temperament.

Fu Runing saw Xiao Jingting's cold expression, and she also knew that he didn't like Feng Yan, so she said to the old lady, "Grandma, I'll go over and say hello to them. You can talk to Jingting first."

After saying that, she walked towards Feng Yan and Su Qing.

At the same time, there was another person in the banquet hall, staring at Su Qing's back.

Xiao Hongshen was standing not far away. He seemed to be frightened. His steps stopped and he couldn't move.

"Ah Qing..."
