“Xie Wan, isn’t this Cheng Ling?!”

“Yeah, I was thinking just now that she looks familiar. Now that I look at her, it’s really her! I can’t recognize her after she changed her clothes.”

“Cheng Ling is actually so pretty.”

These people were still badmouthing Cheng Ling a second ago. But the next second, they couldn’t help but feel shocked by Cheng Ling’s sudden appearance.

Sitting in the middle, Cheng Xiao could naturally hear their discussion clearly.

She didn’t expect Lu Qi had reserved this dress for Cheng Ling.

How could this be?!

She pinched her white lace dress. The fabric was a little rough in her palm.

Even she had to admit that this dress looked very good on Cheng Ling.

Fortunately, none of the guests knew that she had ordered this dress before.

If they knew she had ordered this dress but did not get it, and now Cheng Ling was wearing it, she would be ridiculed.

She had seen these people’s ability in gossiping and ridiculing.

Some people could recognize Lu Qi. They knew that he was Lu Xiu’s younger brother, and they also knew that his health was not good. Therefore, other than basic respect for him, they did not have any other emotions.

They could not help but sigh at the fact that such a handsome young man was seriously ill.

When Xie Wan saw the dress Cheng Ling was wearing, she was also very surprised.

However, it was such a big occasion, she could not lose her temper on the spot.

“Your grandfather’s birthday is such a big event, yet you are still late? Can’t you see that everyone else is here?”

Seeing that everyone was attracted by Cheng Ling’s appearance, Xie Wan quickly turned the situation around and continued to belittle Cheng Ling.

However, Lu Qi opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Cheng. This is my fault. I had some matters to ask Cheng Ling for help, so I was late.”

Seeing Lu Qi, Xie Wan recalled the cold gaze Lu Qi had in the clothing store that day.

So now that Lu Qi was helping her, Xie Wan could just let the matter go.

“Since she can be of help to Second Young Master Lu, it’s fine.”

Seeing Lu Qi speak up for Cheng Ling, coupled with the previous rumors, everyone naturally thought that Cheng Ling had hooked up with Lu Qi.

After all, for a young master like Lu Qi, although his health was not good, he had money and looks. Finding a woman was still very easy for him. So why would he tie himself up with Cheng Ling? Cheng Ling must have shamelessly clung to him.

Xie Wan had told them these words countless times on the mahjong table, so these madams naturally thought the same.

In addition, seeing Cheng Ling’s good looks after changing her clothes, they were even more certain of this thought.

Hence, someone “kindly” advised, “Second Young Master Lu, there are many good girls in the capital. With your status, you can choose a better girl.”

It was very obvious that they were comparing Cheng Ling with the “better girls”.

“Yes, you may not know much about her. Cheng Ling likes to farm. Maybe it doesn’t match the style of the Lu family. If you are willing, I can recommend my daughter to you. She is well-read and also very beautiful.”

Cheng Ling had not spoken since she entered the Cheng family. She did not have any expression when she heard these people’s words.

However, she was somewhat unwilling to involve Lu Qi.

It was her business for them to scold her, so they did not need to use her to belittle Lu Qi.

Moreover, her relationship with Lu Qi was not what they had thought.

So, Cheng Ling opened her mouth to refute.

“The Second Young Master Lu and I are not...”

“Don’t worry about my matter, Madam. If all of you’re so free, you might as well learn social etiquette.”

Lu Qi was not reserved in his words. Wasn’t he clearly telling all the ladies that they were ill-mannered?

His arrogance infuriated everyone.

“We’re advising you for your own good. We know very well what kind of person Cheng Ling is.”

Seeing Lu Qi’s expression turning colder and colder, Old Master Cheng coughed loudly.

“Today is a happy occasion. Let’s not talk about these unhappy things.”

Seeing this, Cheng Xiao also quickly stood up.

“Yes, although Sister only knows how to farm, there are still many things that are worth learning from.”

She walked to Cheng Ling’s side and intimately wanted to hold Cheng Ling’s hand as if the two of them were close sisters.

Cheng Ling had no way to accompany her in acting. She withdrew her hand, and Cheng Xiao grabbed on nothing.

Cheng Xiao was not angry. This was exactly what she wanted.

As a result, the people around had formed an even worse impression of Cheng Ling.
