Chapter 782 - Zhiyuan, You Also Have To Attend This Banquet (2/2)

Leng Zhiyuan froze. Banquet?

A scene appeared in her mind. A large lounge that was brightly lit up where many rich wives would bring their daughters along, and they would appear to be relaxed and having a happy time, but they would be gossiping behind each other’s back…

Her entire body had a layer of small pink goose bumps on it. She did not like and was not used to these types of occasions, and she had never attended such events.

She did not want to go.

“Madam Zhou… Oh no, Mum, I…do not want to go…”

Madam Zhou paused before she looked over at her and said, “Zhiyuan, what’s wrong? Are you afraid that there would be no one you know there, and it would be awkward? It is fine. When that time comes, you can follow me around. I will introduce you to all of them. Our Zhou family also does not like these fake pretences. It would be fine after everyone meets one another and says our greetings.”

Leng Zhiyuan shook her head firmly and said, “That’s not it Mum, that…banquet… Don’t we have to…dance… Oh, right dancing. I do not know how to dance, and when that time comes, I might embarrass all of you.”

Madam Zhou wanted to speak, but at this moment: “Haha!” The sound of someone laughing rang out in the air. Old Master Zhou came back from outside and said, “Who said she doesn’t know how to dance? Zhiyuan, dancing is very easy. We will teach you, and I guarantee that you will know how to dance after we teach you.”

…

And after that, Leng Zhiyuan stood on the uncovered balcony. The melodious music was ringing out in the air. She was in a blur as she looked at the two people dancing in front of her — Old Master Zhou and…Master Zhou.

Old Master Zhou threw the walking cane in his hand and moved together with Master Zhou, who was facing him. He was in a good mood as he broke out into merry laughter. “Zhiyuan, did you see that? Dancing is very easy. As long as you remember the simple steps, you can dance then. Look, one two three, one two three, just like that…”

Master Zhou also started dancing excitedly. He wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and smiled at Leng Zhiyuan. “That’s right, just dance like how we are doing, as long as you don’t step on your partner’s feet…”

Leng Zhiyuan did not know what else to say. There was an old General who could manage an entire warzone in front of her, and another was the mayor of T City. If both of them stomped on the ground right now, it seemed that the T City would have an earthquake.

But they were shaking their hips and swaying their butts in front of her right now. They were playing around happily, just like children.

A smile slowly curled up on the corners of her lips, and her heart felt extremely sweet.

At this moment, Madam Zhou came over, held her small hand, and said, “Zhiyuan, did you have a good look? Let’s go, let’s dance too.”

Leng Zhiyuan was forcefully pulled inside. Against Madam Zhou’s excitement, she was stiff as she moved her feet.

“Zhiyuan, that’s right, dance just like this. You might feel not used to it at the start, but it will get better after you dance longer.”

“That’s right Zhiyuan, you are already dancing very well now. Our Zhiyuan is really so smart!”

…

After two days, Leng Zhiyuan sat down before the vanity table, and someone helped her do her makeup.

Upon looking at her own reflection in the mirror, she was in a trance for a moment. Actually, in the past two days, she could’ve just left completely without a single person knowing about it at all, but in the night, as she held her passport, she could not bring herself to do so, and she chose to stay here.

She was unable to explain whatever she was feeling inside her heart. Actually, she also had considerations. That day that scumbag insulted her, but if she really left without a single trace, she was afraid that both the Leng and Zhou families would be overturned.

Three months. She clenched her teeth as she pondered for a moment. It would all be over as long as she bore with it.

She sat inside the extended version of the business utility vehicle. The car stopped before a five star hotel half an hour later. The usher opened the large doors, and Leng Zhiyuan went through the large, brightly-lit halls.

Everyone in the hall looked over at her as they said, “Old Master Zhou, you are finally here now? Is this your granddaughter-in-law? She looks really beautiful. No wonder your Major General would get married so hurriedly without saying a single word about it beforehand.”

Many people immediately gathered around Old Master Zhou as they made small talk with him.

Old Master Zhou was smiling brightly, and he turned his gaze back to look at Leng Zhiyuan. He straightened his chest up proudly as he said, “That’s right, that unfilial kid from my family had not done anything that made me happy before, and the only thing he’s done right was finding this granddaughter-in-law of mine.”
