Nan Zhengyu was busy greeting guests and had no time to talk to Nan Ling. Naturally, he didn't know that Song Ling had brought someone with her today.
Now that he took the initiative to ask, Nan Ling hesitated for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "She is outside, with... with my aunt and Miss Li."
"What?!" Nan Zhengyu frowned fiercely, his eyes widened slightly, and he was rarely angry. He asked, "Why didn't she tell me in advance?"
Nan Ling didn't want his parents to quarrel, so he had to speak up for Song Ling: "Mom, don't think too much. You should treat today as an ordinary visit to relatives and bring your aunt and Miss Li with you."
"Nonsense!" Nan Zhengyu walked out in annoyance: "I'll go see where she is."
Nan Ling and Nan Zhengyu both understood that although that was what they said, the other party had already come and was dressed up, and now the place was full of guests.
No matter how unwilling they are, they can't drive people away.
…
This is indeed the case.
Nan Zhengyu went out with a gloomy face to find Song Ling and the others. Facing the guests everywhere, he couldn't say it in public even if he was very depressed.
Song Ling was someone who couldn't read his expression. She happily held his hand and asked him in surprise, "Why did you come out?"
Nanzhengyu had a lot of troubles to tell, so he had to suppress his annoyance and answer, "Come out and take a look."
Song Ling was curious: "The birthday party is about to start. Do you have time to come out? You didn't go in with your brother?"
"That's right!" Song Ling suddenly got excited, grabbed his hand, and suppressed her excitement: "I just saw Feng Lao outside."
She glanced at Nan Ling who was standing behind Nan Zhengyu and continued to explain to Nan Zhengyu: "The one from the First Research Institute!"
Seeing her excitement, Nan Ling wanted to interrupt her and tell her that they had just met Feng Yu, the director of the First Research Institute, but he had no interest in them at all.
Song Ling was still holding Nan Zhengyu and chattering about the scene when she just met Feng Yu outside.
"I wanted to go up and meet Master Feng, but unfortunately he was busy going in..."
Li Mo stood at the door in her high heels for a long time but didn't see Song Ling and the others come in. She felt a sore and tingling sensation in her heels, making her almost unable to stand.
At this time, Song Ya pinched her fingertips imperceptibly and gave her a look to get in.
Li Mo immediately understood what Song Ya meant, interrupted Song Ling and Nan Zhengyu, and said softly, "Uncle and aunt, I have something urgent to do, so I'll go in first?"
"What's wrong with you?" Song Ling hasn't reacted yet.
Nan Zhengyu frowned, and his sharp eyes immediately fell on Li Mo, and he said majestically: "Nan Ling, you go with Miss Li."
Nan Ling understood that his father didn't want Li Mo to leave their sight on important occasions to avoid any trouble.
He had no expression on his face and agreed, "Okay."
Then he glanced at the nervous woman and said, "What do you want? Come on, I'll go with you."
Li Mo didn't expect things to turn out like this. Her heart was beating fast and her nails curled up to grab the palms of her hands, clenching them tightly.
Under the gaze of everyone, her eyes flickered slightly, and she reacted quickly. She immediately put on a shy face, lowered her head and whispered, "I, I want to go to the bathroom."
"… "
Now not only Nan Ling, but even Nan Zhengyu was confused by her.
Before the two of them could react, Song Ya quickly patted Li Mo's shoulder, acting like a kind elder, and said angrily, "You kid..."
Li Mo lowered her head with a red face, as if she was extremely ashamed.
