Chapter 471: Young Mu Yuan’s Long Distance Relationship
The guests who came liked her a lot. Although Lu Mengxi’s reputation was badly affected due to Lu Mengyun, the moment she appeared before others, she was still a well-liked role model.
The Ye Family’s dinner was made to be exceptionally grand this time. All of the side relatives of the Ye Family were already present. Other than the Ye Family, there were also two major businessmen. When the Ye Old Lady was young, she was very popular. She was decisive and daring. She held power for many years and was really intimidating. Getting an invitation to her dinner was a great honor.
Li Zhiyuan arrived early, and he came over with his mother Yang Rong. Ye Tingting kept attempting to speak to Li Zhiyuan shyly. She was young and beautiful, and she was the princess of the Ye Family. No other girls in the entire place stood out as much as she did. Since it was Ye Family’s home, Li Zhiyuan maintained his friendly character and smiled. Yet, his eyes seemed distant. Most of the time, Ye Tingting was the one trying to initiate conversations.
Yang Rong was glad to see that. Previously, when there were rumors about Li Zhiyuan and Shen Qianshu all over the news, Yang Rong was really unhappy. Li Zhiyuan was her only child. Her ideal daughter-in-law was someone who had a good family. Even if the lady did not have a good family, she could not have a child before marriage. What’s more, there were a lot of scandals about Shen Qianshu regarding her relationship with the brothers in the Ye Family. That made Yang Rong really displeased. Lately, she was also in a hurry to find Li Zhiyuan a date.
Since Lu Mengxi was unwilling to be with her son, she set her eyes on the Ye Family. In her eyes, Ye Tingting was a great candidate.
She was still studying, and she was well behaved. Everything about her pleased Yang Rong.
However, the moment Lu Mengxi appeared, she snatched the limelight away from Ye Tingting. This lady from the Lu Family had always been a role model for many young ladies. She was gentle, generous, and elegant. She paved her future all by herself and did not depend on her family to get to where she was. This made her really well-liked.
Ye Tingting felt displeased. At such a place, she wished that she could get all the attention. She did not like how someone else had stolen all her limelight.
Lu Mengxi knew what to do. The moment she came out, she held Ye Tingting’s hand and called her ‘Meimei’ in a warm manner. “It’s been long, Tingting Meimei. You look great! You’re such a beautiful lady now. I’m so close to not being able to recognize you!”
It was not nice to hit someone who was smiling. Ye Tingting smiled back, and they greeted each other ceremoniously.
Ye Tingting knew that Li Zhiyuan had grown up with Lu Mengxi since young. She was younger than them by eight years, and she was really envious of them. Seeing that Li Zhiyuan and Lu Mengxi did not behave intimately, she harbored less hatred for Lu Mengxi.
Soon after, Mu Yuan and Mu Chen from the Mu Family came. Mu Chen was very young, and she had always been working in City B. Among the officials who were his age, he was considered the best one. He came here as a form of respect and greeted the Ye Old Lady. Not long after, he had to rush back to City B over some issues regarding the fireworks from New Year’s. On the other hand, Mu Yuan was really bored. He hid in a corner and drank some alcohol. He watched how the entire venue was so grand, and he remembered how serious and strict his family was. He shook his head.
Oh no! I’m missing someone!
Sadly, that person is on the other half of the globe.
Long-distance relationships are… terrible!
For some unknown reason, Ye Old Lady kept bringing Lu Mengxi around her. As a result, Lu Mengxi looked closer to her than her own granddaughter Ye Tingting. Lu Mengxi was also a popular person from an aristocratic family. She had been living abroad, so although people had heard of her, they may not have seen her.
This time, everyone had seen her enough to recognize her.
Ye Zexiu and his wife were busy attending to the guests, and Ye Bao was too. This residence initially belonged to the eldest son of the Ye Family, but the second son seemed more like the owner, and he attended to the guests. While there were many people attending the dinner, the three sons of the eldest son’s family were nowhere to be seen.
