There are a large number of luxury cars parked in front of the hotel, or cars with license plates that are rarely seen in the Independent State.
Li Mo held up her skirt and followed Song Ling carefully, observing everything around her. The more she looked, the more nervous she became.
Today looks like just an ordinary birthday party.
Anyone with eyes could tell that this was the gathering place for the top circles of the Independent Continent.
Li Mo had watched such occasions from afar before.
At that time, she was still studying in the United States, and she happened to encounter the once-in-a-decade royal wedding parade. The royal family would hold a high-level thank-you dinner in the evening.
She and her friends saw the scene outside the dinner party that day. There were also luxury cars and celebrities outside the dinner party...
That day was impressive enough.
Today the standards are even higher.
Li Mo's nervous palms secreted a thin layer of hot sweat, which was sticky and uncomfortable.
Song Ling is one of the hosts today.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel entrance, they met many "acquaintances" that Song Ling knew.
"Mrs. Nan."
Someone greeted Song Ling.
Song Ling was surprised to see the newcomers: "You are here, please come in."
The person who came was one of the noble ladies who usually played well with her. She stood at the door and exchanged a few words with Song Ling calmly. Her eyes glanced at the two people who were standing stiffly behind Song Ling.
The woman deliberately covered her mouth and smiled shyly: "Hey, who is this? Why does he look familiar?"
Her gaze fell on Li Mo, and her raised almond-shaped eyes revealed a great deal of sarcasm, as if she was watching a joke!
Li Mo could sense the contempt and mockery in his eyes. Her nervousness suddenly turned into embarrassment, and her heart sank...
Li Mo was sure that the other party recognized her.
Song Ling didn't notice this and explained to the woman, "My niece Momo. Have you forgotten? You once had afternoon tea together."
“Oh.” The woman smiled as if something had suddenly dawned on her. “I meant it looked familiar.”
She immediately changed the topic to Nan Ling, asking what he was doing recently. She acted so skillfully, as if Li Mo was a nobody in this situation, and only worthy of being mentioned casually.
As for Song Ya.
She pretended not to see it and didn't even mention it.
Song Ya felt embarrassed and awkward, her face turned pale and blue, but she didn't dare to express any opinion.
She was considered a respectable person in Country Y. Even if she didn't marry as well as her own sister, she wasn't so bad as to be humiliated.
Song Ya soon couldn't stand the humiliation anymore. She interrupted their chat with a dry cough and whispered in Song Ling's ear, "I'm going to the bathroom."
Song Ling was stunned: "You want me to accompany you..."
"No need." Song Ya pulled the hand of Li Mo, who was also standing uncomfortably, and said with a smile, "You go to greet the guests first, and Momo and I will go."
As a member of the Nan family, it is indeed difficult for Song Ling to leave.
So she hesitated for a moment, then nodded and told them: "Go slowly, you can ask the waiter, call me if you have anything."
"Okay." Song Ya patted her on the back, responded with a smile, said something to Song Ling, and turned around and left with Li Mo.
The wind also carried the noble lady's casual voice asking Song Ling.
"Is that your relative?"
"My sister."
"She's not from the Independent Continent either?"
This "also", including Li Mo was asked.
Song Ling's slightly embarrassed voice was blown past her ears by the wind: "They came here to find me and will go back after a while."
"You are so kind that you still care about these relatives." The lady said sarcastically.
…
Song Ya walked faster and faster.
