Song Yajing: “…”

Those old things saw her young age and took the opportunity to direct sharp questions at her. But she was neither fl.u.s.tered nor thrown off, and she was calm and collected as she answered those questions.

Song Yajing took a deep breath ,and she knew that Ning Qing was definitely doing it on purpose!

In this situation, under such circ.u.mstances, could she have any alternative answer?

Song Yajing smiled graciously and said, “Everything is a misunderstanding. Our Shaoming and Ning Qing are married already. Ning Qing is also my…daughter-in-law. I am very satisfied with her.”

The elder’s expression went plain in their eyes, and the mother-daughter pair of the Zhou family almost could not understand and channelled their dazed gazes towards Song Yajing. That questioning look that they had in their eyes was as if they were saying — Could it be that we are not battling on the same side?

Song Yajing’s emotions were tumbling all around. On normal days, she would praise the Zhou mother-daughter duo, and they did not think she would make them feel so uncomfortable at such an important occasion.

“Madam Zhou, Zhilei, have some tea.” Song Yajing showed slight irritation in her tone.

Kong Lan still wanted to say something, but Zhou Zhilei had already sensed Song Yajing’s att.i.tude, and she tugged on her own mother’s sleeve.

Ning Qing saw the subtle actions between the mother and daughter happening before her eyes, and she laughed heartily. “Madam Zhou, Miss Zhou, it seems that after you stepped in the doors, you have addressed me as Miss Ning. The way you are addressing me is not too appropriate. This is my house, and I am Mrs Lu.”

Zhou Zhilei and Kong Lan were furious as they gritted their teeth. They glared at Ning Qing. But their gazes were hesitant because of the man standing behind Ning Qing. The man placed one hand in his pocket, and his deep eyes had a chilling tone while he looked at them plainly.

This man could not take others looking at his wife with evil intentions.

The mother-daughter duo were stumped. They saw everyone was present, and there was no one protecting their actions so they clenched their teeth and said, “Mrs. Lu.”

“Yes, both Madam Zhou and Miss Zhou are too polite,” Ning Qing carelessly replied and lay back lazily on the sofa.

Kong Lan, Zhou Zhilei: “…”

At this moment, sounds of laughter were followed by a round of applause. Someone had arrived at the door. Ning Qing recognized him; it was Song Jin.

“Older brother, you are here!” Song Yajing saw her own older brother and was jubilant. This was someone from her own family, and she went forward to welcome him.

“Yajing, I have been here for a while. When I was at the door just now, I saw a great performance go on.” While Song Jin was speaking, he turned his gaze to Ning Qing and said two words, “Great job.”

Ning Qing stood up and said with a shy smile, “Thank you, Uncle, for your compliment.”

The crowd engaged in small talk again, Song Jin possessed high status in the industry, so the moment he arrived, he sat directly beside the elder who was the most senior — the second most important seat.

Lu Dinghua smiled as he said, “Big Brother, it seems that you have met Ning Qing before. You guys know one another?”

Song Yajing also looked in their direction.

“Not only do I know Ning Qing, we are in a partners.h.i.+p right now.”

The elders were taken aback and said, “President Song must be joking, Ning Qing is so young now. On top of that, what does she know about financial investment and speculating on share prices? How would she collaborate with you?”

Song Jin waved his hands and said, “You all do not know, although Ning Qing is young in age, she is the first person in the entertainment industry to achieve a box-office record of one billion five hundred million dollars. She is also an A grade director now. In the short time of half a year, she has created her own studio, invested in an entertainment company, and shot a movie. She has done well both in the entertainment industry and investment sector. She did not overlook any factor, and today, she has skyrocketed to the Forbes list of wealthy celebrities in China, and she is the top millionaire among them. Don’t you think this girl is amazing?”

The elders all turned their shocked gazes towards Ning Qing, and they were taken aback. “Hehe, we still did not know that Ning Qing was so capable. She looks so young and is only around 20. President Song, don’t try to mess with us.”

No one believed him.

To be honest, wealthy families all judged someone by their family background. Ning Qing’s family background was something they had investigated beforehand. At that time, they still laughed at her privately, and the Lu family had been blemished with such a daughter-in-law who lowered down their social standing by so much.

Any daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law that they picked among their cla.s.s could crush Ning Qing easily.

The elders did not think that Ning Qing would have such great accomplishments, and they still stuck with that one line. She was only a young girl around 20. She was way too young and tender.

Song Jin laughed and said, “If you all don’t believe me, you can go verify it yourself. I, Song Jin, will not make up false news. To be honest, at the start, I really admired this young girl, so I wanted to open an entertainment company with her. But did you know how Ning Qing, this girl, replied to me?”

The elders were excited and asked, “What did she say?”

“That girl Ning Qing said, ‘With my popularity and footing in the entertainment industry as Ning Qing today, if I open an entertainment company, it will definitely be popular. What do you possess to talk about partners.h.i.+p with me?’”

“…” The elders froze, and then followed up with their laughter. “Such a bossy tone!”
