Mysterious creature sightings

the other side.

The guy who drove the helicopter was very considerate. The propellers almost spun out sparks. He hurriedly and slowly managed to get Ling Jiangyue back to Haicheng in a very short time.

It happened that there was a driver specially left by Ling Jiangyu at the airport. When he saw her coming back, he hurriedly rushed her to the venue before the Song family banquet ended.

"..." I'm embarrassed to say that she doesn't really want to attend this crappy banquet.

But now that you’re here, let’s go in and take a look.

She called Ling Jiangyu and played on tiptoes with her head hanging down outside the venue.

Ling Jiangyu was originally talking to a group of business partners in the venue. After answering the phone, he only said "I'm sorry", put down his wine glass and hurried out of the venue.

The people who were left behind exchanged glances and couldn't help but gossip about the Ling family's affairs.

"Is the biological one here?"

"Otherwise, who else could it be? The adopted daughter has been here a long time ago, and Zhuang Mei is taking her to talk to Mr. Song."

"It seems like you still value the adopted daughter more?"

"Not necessarily. The main reason is that the adopted daughter and the Song family have already made an engagement. Today, in the Song family's presence, she must give the Song family face."

"This matter is really difficult to handle. If two daughters are together, one is a biological daughter and the other is an adopted daughter, there will definitely be conflicts. I heard that the biological daughter wanted to join the entertainment industry, but she probably didn't do well in the end. I’ve never heard it mentioned again.”

"Seeing that she came alone so late today, you know the problem must be big."

"It has to be like a banker."

The speaker took a sip of wine, swung the glass in Zhuang Jie's direction and said, "Although Zhuang Jie was taken everywhere to identify people, no one would take him seriously because of his dissolute appearance. Everyone agrees that Zhuang Cheng is the heir to the banker family. This way, when Zhuang Cheng comes back, there will be no conflicts in the family."

But as for the Ling family, their adopted daughter Ling Jiangnian has been raised to be an outstanding woman with a successful career, but her biological daughter is an ordinary girl who knows nothing.Putting the cart before the horse, it would be strange if nothing goes wrong.

Seeing Ling Jiangyu coming in with a beautiful girl at the entrance of the venue, a group of people stopped chatting and nodded to them in a friendly and polite manner without any burden.

When Ling Jiangyue was taken over to greet them, they also said a few nice words, such as "She's so beautiful, just like your mother" and "She's so well-behaved, not like the one in my family who doesn't live up to expectations."

Ling Jiangyue looked at them. If the Ling family could be regarded as her "bacterial petri dish" for studying human hormones and emotions, then these people were just discarded petri dishes full of bacteria. They were so hypocritical that they lost interest in research.

Ling Jiangyu saw that she didn't like these people and subconsciously wanted to say "be patient", but when he saw his sister's face, he swallowed his words and led her to the other side.

Forget it, no matter what, she is the happiest.

"I'll take you to meet the Song family. Since you're here, you might as well say hello. If you don't like it after saying hello, go to the self-service area. There are all young people there. Zhuang Jie Yan Ting... …And Yu Zhang, they’re all over there.”

"Okay."

She followed the birthday boy and presented him with a gift that Ling Jiangyu had helped prepare in advance, and the auspicious words he said were also temporarily taught by Ling Jiangyu.

Mr. Song asked her a few questions kindly, and asked Ling Jiangyu to introduce everyone to her.

The Song family stared at her, no matter what they were thinking, they smiled on their faces and called her Jiang Yue affectionately.There was a half-grown boy who pouted as if he didn't welcome her. After receiving Ling Jiangyu's cold eyes, he awkwardly called her sister.

It looked like Ling Jiangyu, the bully, was leading her to force everyone to accept her.

The people staying here in Caiyiyu from the Song family were all old and young, and they had nothing in common with her, so Mr. Song waved her hand and asked her to go to the self-service area to play.

"The young people are all over there. You might as well go and get to know each other. If you need anything, you can call Yanfeng." He was talking about Song Yanfeng, the youngest of the Song family. He was engaged to Ling Jiangnian two years ago.

Ling Jiangyu didn't want Song Yanfeng to have more contact with his sister, so he sent her to the self-help area himself.

As soon as he walked over, a group of young men and women chatting and laughing at the long bar-like table turned around and stared at Ling Jiangyue with different eyes.

Ling Jiangyu frowned and called Zhuang Jie and Yan Ting.

He came to the banquet not just to have fun and relax, but also with the task of promoting certain cooperation. He needed to socialize with people, and he couldn't keep an eye on his sister all the time.

But in fact, he was not at ease with whomever he handed over. Zhuang Jie had only made his sister unhappy before, and he was not familiar with Yan Ting, not to mention that Yu Zhang would come over when he didn't know...

He could only take the people to a safe location where no one would disturb them. His eyes warned some people not to stare too much, and then he gave Zhuang Jie and the others a lot of instructions.

Ling Jiangyue didn't care about his painstaking efforts and looked at the things on the dining table expressionlessly.

The buffet area here is a place for young people to eat, drink and have fun. There are table games and card tables. In addition, there is a long open dining table. There are chefs making food on site under dim lights, and bartenders making cocktails. The clear sound of the piece tapping against the wine glass is very pleasant.

In the buffet food tower on display, there is something called a cod and shrimp salad cup. It is filled with shrimp, diced asparagus, strawberries, orange pulp and melting ice cream balls in a tall glass. It looks strange and attractive.

She took a glass, and the chef inside smiled and asked her: "Do you need anything else? The latest Arctic sweet shrimp is ready to eat."

"Then have one too," she whispered.

She didn't know when Ling Jiangyu left. She stared at the cod and shrimp salad cup and dug around in it with a spoon.

The boy closest to her stared at her and warned: "It's best to eat it now. The ice cream ball is still half-melted. If you eat it with the contents inside, it will taste better."

She was stunned for a moment, looked at the other person, and said "thank you" hesitantly.

Zhuang Jie didn't dare to approach her and winked at Yan Ting. Yan Ting didn't know about the quarrel between them. Seeing her winking, she thought she had some secret, so she went over to ask.

Zhuang Jie was so angry that he punched him.

Ling Jiangyue took a bite of the salad cup. The taste of the combination of Chinese and Western food really didn't impress her. She wrinkled her face and swallowed, focusing on the plate of Arctic sweet shrimps.

There was a pair of knives and forks placed on the plate with shrimps, and a bowl of water next to it. The porcelain bowl was light and very beautiful.

She looked at it, picked up the bowl and drank water.

I don't know who laughed in the darkness. The boy just now came over and said, "This is hand washing water so that you can clean your hands before peeling shrimps. The Arctic sweet shrimps were flown here, so you can keep the shrimp shells." It better locks in the umami flavor, so you need to do it yourself when eating.”

Halfway through his explanation, Ling Jiangyue had already put down the bowl, made an awkward expression suitable for her personality, lowered her head and stumbled and said, "Thank you, thank you for reminding me."

Those very slight laughter were amplified countless times in her ears. Regardless of whether they were ridiculing her or not, they were all defined as the same sound at this time - look, that Ling Jiangyue actually drank hand water and had no dining etiquette at all. I don’t understand.

If she was a confident person, she would probably be able to silence others if she said something disgusting about peeling off the shrimp shells herself. But she is a person with very low self-esteem, so she only has one reaction -

Ling Jiangyue hung her head and trembled, stood up and ran out.

Yu Zhang, who had been watching the show in the corner, came out at the right time, and Ling Jiangyue bumped into him.

"what happened?"
