Chapter 28: Concert

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Meng Lin picked up the crown-like headdress on the table and put it on Zhang Ning’s head.

Zhang Ning looked like a real princess.

If she had to use Qi Ying, who was elegant but had no connections in Baicheng, to exchange for Zhang Ning, who was almost the number one daughter of Baicheng, Meng Lin would never be willing.

“Mom, is Sister going to my concert too?”

“She has to go. When the time comes, just let her show her face at the banquet and find a place to sit,” Zhang Heng, who was sitting at the side, said.

Meng Lin wanted to retort, but when she heard her husband’s words, she immediately fell silent.

Although Meng Lin felt that Qi Ying was far inferior to Zhang Ning, she also hoped that Qi Ying could show her face in social occasions.

Qi Ying’s personality was different from Zhang Ning’s. She might be able to make some connections that they had not made before.

“Mom, I know you want Sister to go, but Sister has never learned social etiquette and doesn’t know many socialites. She might embarrass herself if she goes. In order for Sister to marry Second Master Xie successfully, we should…”

Before she could finish, there was a sudden bang at the door.

Qi Ying had just entered and should have heard what Zhang Ning said.

However, Zhang Ning acted as if she had completely forgotten what she had just said. She looked at Qi Ying with a happy expression. “Sister, you’re back.”

She lifted her skirt and ran to Qi Ying. The pearl-embroidered skirt spun in front of Qi Ying, and Qi Ying felt like she was going blind.

What kind of gaudy aesthetic sense was this?

Zhang Ning looked at Qi Ying and asked, “Sister, does my dress look good?”

“It’s a little gaudy. You don’t have to use all the gold thread and pearls.” Qi Ying didn’t know why Zhang Ning suddenly smiled at her and habitually commented sharply.

Zhang Ning was provoked by her comment..

She recalled that her sister had previously said that things would not go well for her recently. Indeed, she had been unlucky for a few days.

She was not a good person and her mouth was very vicious.

However, on second thought, she was about to marry someone who was about to die. Zhang Ning suddenly felt pity for her.

She had never met the rumored Second Master Xie. She had only heard that he was cruel and decisive. He seemed to not be close to women in his early twenties.

Such a person was either ugly or violent and about to die.

At the thought of this, Zhang Ning felt a little better. “Sister, the fifth of next month is my concert. At that time, I’ll announce my engagement to the eldest grandson of the Yan family. You have to dress up well.”

The fifth of next month?

Qi Ying quickly calculated in her mind that Venus would retrograde on the fifth planet next month. These two planets would be carried out in the twelfth palace that represented karma and reckoning on her astrolabe.

This was not a good sign.

Venus represents marriage, love and reckoning.

Zhang Ning’s engagement partner was probably not someone easy to deal with. It was also harmful to the Zhang family.

Looking at Zhang Ning’s blissful expression, Qi Ying was speechless.

If she hadn’t been rude to her previously, she would have reminded her.

Unfortunately, whatever Qi Ying said now was a curse in Zhang Ning’s eyes.

She did not want to be suspected of lacking professionalism, so she did not say anything.

When Zhang Ning saw that Qi Ying was silent, she thought that Qi Ying was frightened by the news of her engagement to Yan Bing.

She burst out laughing. “Sister still has to marry Yan Bin’s second uncle, Second Master Yan. When the time comes, the two of us will live under the same roof.”

Qi Ying did not say anything and quietly watched Zhang Ning show off.

Zhang Ning was showing off a little too much. She held up a few head accessories in front of Qi Ying.

“Sister, help me see which one looks better. I can give you a few pieces of jewelry. When the time comes, you can wear them beautifully to my concert.”

Give?

Zhang Ning was like giving Qi Ying charity.

Qi Ying sneered in her heart and frowned at the jewelry in Zhang Ning’s hand.

The style of this jewelry looked a little familiar…

“Xiao Ying, you haven’t seen this brand of jewelry. This was designed by the most famous designer in Baicheng, Bin Yang. He studied under a mysterious aesthetician. He has a lot of insight into jewelry design, architectural design, and interior design,” Meng Lin said as he walked over.

“These jewelry are all finished products and are already worth more than 100,000 yuan each. However, the one on Ningning’s head is a custom-made one that we’ve arranged for a long time. It costs five million yuan.”
