Zhao Wanru followed Lu Tingfeng to the banquet hall with a sullen face. She glared at Sun Xue, who was walking beside Lu Tingfeng with a smug look on her face, and was extremely angry.

When Lu Tingfeng first arrived, he only had Sun Xue in his eyes and all his attention was on Sun Xue. She was standing next to Sun Xue, but Lu Tingfeng actually went straight to Sun Xue and ignored her.

She cursed in her heart: vixen.

At this moment, many doubts popped up in her mind.

How did Sun Xue suddenly get to know Lu Tingfeng? This made her too depressed. Sun Xue was a country bumpkin from another place. What tricks did she use to make Lu Tingfeng come out to pick her up?

Lu Tingfeng is the son of the Lu family in Demon City and the future successor of the Lu family. This is a wealthy family that many girls would do anything to marry into.

This, of course, includes herself.

From the scene she just saw, she could feel Lu Tingfeng's enthusiasm when he saw Sun Xue, and the tone and expression when he spoke didn't seem to be fake.

Also, is Sun Xue really the goddaughter adopted by Mrs. Lu as she said? How did she do it?

Thinking about this, the fire of jealousy in her heart quickly ignited.

If this is true, then how could a girl like her, a bean sprout from the countryside, be accepted as a goddaughter by the prominent Mrs. Lu?

What tricks did she use to win Mrs. Lu's favor?

The more Zhao Wanru thought about it, the angrier she became, and she felt a tightness in her chest.

But she couldn't show these emotions on her face.

Birthday banquet hall.

It has to be said that Sun Xue was still shocked by such a luxurious scene.

Those who were invited to attend Mrs. Lu's birthday party were basically either rich or noble. She could get a glimpse of this from the guests' clothing and temperament.

Mother Lu spotted Sun Xue from the crowd at a glance, and she waved at her with a smile.

Zhao Wanru mistakenly thought that Lu's mother was waving at her, so she quickened her pace and walked towards Lu's mother.

"Hello, Aunt Lu!"

Zhao Wanru greeted him warmly as soon as they met, her face almost smiling like a flower.

"Hello, Xiao Zhao."

Mother Lu smiled slightly, "Xiao Zhao is getting more and more beautiful now!"

Lu's mother's polite words made Zhao Wanru instantly overjoyed.

"Thank you auntie."

"By the way, Xiao Zhao, why didn't your father see it today?"

"Aunt, my dad went abroad for business and won't be back for a few days. He called me yesterday and said he was sorry to miss your birthday party."

"It doesn't matter. Business is more important."

Zhao Wanru immediately tried to get close to her, "Auntie, the country my father went to is rich in pearls. I have already told him to pick out some of the best pearl jewelry for you when he comes back this time."

Zhao Wanru's thoughtful words made Lu's mother very happy.

"Xiao Zhao, you are thoughtful."

As they were talking, Lu Tingfeng and Sun Xue walked over side by side.

Zhao Wanru saw the necklace on Lu's mother's neck and flattered her, "Auntie, your necklace is so beautiful. It matches your outfit today. You look a lot younger now."

"Xiao Zhao, you really know how to praise people."

When Zhao Wanru was feeling proud, Mother Lu's next words instantly froze her smile on her face.

Mother Lu said with satisfaction, "This was given to me by my goddaughter Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue has good taste, and I think it looks really good too."

As she spoke, Mother Lu stepped forward, impatiently grabbed Sun Xue's hand, and complained with a smile:

"Xiaoxue, why did you come so late? Was there a traffic jam? I should have asked Tingfeng to pick you up."

"Mom, Sun Xue forgot to bring the invitation letter. The security guard stopped her from entering. She called me but I didn't hear her. She had to wait outside for a long time..."

"No wonder, Xiaoxue, why didn't you call me? Or you could tell the security guard that you are my goddaughter, and the security guard should let you in."

Sun Xue smiled, "Godmother, I thought you had a lot of social engagements today so I didn't dare to disturb you. In fact, I told the security guard that you are my godmother, but the security guard refused to believe me and insisted that I was a country bumpkin from another place who came here to eat and drink for free. I couldn't defend myself..."

After saying that, Sun Xue raised the corners of her mouth slightly and glanced at Zhao Wanru who was standing beside her.

Zhao Wanru looked very embarrassed.

The few simple words between Mother Lu and Sun Xue just now completely confused her...

Mother Lu is really Sun Xue’s godmother!

what's the situation?

How can this be? !

What on earth had happened? She had never heard of Mother Lu adopting a goddaughter!

She watched the two of them talking intimately in disbelief, especially Mother Lu, whose eyes lit up when she saw Sun Xue. Although she complained that Sun Xue came late, Zhao Wanru was not stupid. She could feel Mother Lu's deep love for Sun Xue from her tone and eyes.

What made it even more difficult for her to accept was that from the moment she met Sun Xue, Mother Lu had never let go of Sun Xue's hand. She felt so warm that it felt as if Sun Xue was the daughter-in-law of her Lu family.

"Mom, Sister Xue and Wanru also know each other. They studied together in the best liberal arts college in the country." Lu Tingfeng added.

Sister Xue?

Zhao Wanru looked at Lu Tingfeng in surprise. He just called Sun Xue by her name, why did he suddenly call her sister?

Mother Lu was a little surprised. "Really? What a coincidence!"

"I remember now. Xiaoxue talked to me about this. She participated in the writer training class of Qilu College. Her classmates were all the best writers in their provinces. She was awarded the title of honorary student and won the grand prize of the literature competition when she graduated. She was the only student among all the students to represent China to study and visit Cambridge University. Is that right? Xiaoxue."

Sun Xue nodded, "Yes, that's right, godmother."

Sun Xue felt very proud and accomplished at this moment.

Especially in front of Zhao Wanru.

"Wanru, you must have won the prize that time, right? You are also a famous talented woman in Demon City." Mother Lu looked at Zhao Wanru with a smile.

Zhao Wanru was very reluctant to answer this question. She forced a smile and lied, "Auntie, I didn't perform well that time and only won second prize."

Sun Xue saved Zhao Wanru's face and did not expose her lies on the spot.

Mother Lu nodded, "That's not bad."

Just at this moment, Lu Huohua walked quickly over from the crowd.

When she saw Lu Huohua, Sun Xue immediately called out sweetly, "Godfather..."

She called out "godfather" from the bottom of her heart, and of course, she did it on purpose for Zhao Wanru to hear it.

Zhao Wanru looked down on her and insulted her at the door of the banquet hall, and now she wanted to fight back against her fiercely.

Lu Huohua was so happy to be called godfather that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Sun Xue, I didn't expect that after a week's business trip, God would give me such an excellent daughter. Sun Xue, you look very beautiful today."

"Thank you godfather."

"By the way, Sun Xue, your godmother asked me to bring you a gift. After the banquet, don't leave. Let Tingfeng drive you home."

Sun Xue nodded excitedly, "Okay, godfather."
