“You look beautiful today, darling.”

Yan Bing hugged Zhang Ning from behind and buried his head in her neck.

“My sister was so scared that she didn’t dare to come. It seems like she really doesn’t have suitable clothes to wear,” Zhang Ning said to him with a smile.

Yan Bin stroked her curly hair. “What sister? The woman from the mountain village who wants to marry my invalid second uncle?”

Although Yan Huai had already woken up, Yan Bin felt that Yan Huai would not live long. Even if he recovered, he would find a way to make him fall into the same situation again.

“What village woman? She’s my parents’ real child.” Zhang Ning wheedled in his arms. “No one in this family really loved me. They just wanted to exchange me for benefits. Only you love me the most. I want to marry you as soon as possible.”

Zhang Ning really liked this man. In order to gain this man’s favor, she even lied that her parents treated her badly.

Yan Bin smiled and hugged the girl even tighter.

At this moment, these two people were not the only ones discussing Qi Ying. The guests outside were also discussing Qi Ying.

A few rich kids gathered around and spoke.

“I heard that Qi Ying is Zhang Ning’s fraternal twin. She came from a mountain village and stinks all over. I guess that’s why she wasn’t allowed to come.”

“I don’t think so. Her name was on the list too. I don’t know why she didn’t come.”

“Maybe she’s hiding because she’s afraid of embarrassing herself. Maybe she’s dressed too badly and was mixed with those waiters. We won’t be able to recognize her.”

Everyone laughed in agreement.

One of the rich second-generation heirs said, “Shouldn’t you guys be careful? It’s not good to get involved with someone like her. The people from the village are the most shameless. If they like someone, they might take them into the mountains to feed the pigs. Don’t you think so, Lin Fan?”

The boy named Lin Fan was the youngest among them. He came to the banquet alone today. As he looked very soft, everyone usually liked to tease him.

“I don’t want to feed the pigs. It’s better if this village woman doesn’t appear,” Lin Fan said.

These people were all born into wealthy families. There were not many children in their families, and they were not scheming. It was just that a few influential people said something and others echoed them. Such people were the easiest to be influenced and changed.

Just as everyone was discussing happily, the door to the hall was opened. Everyone immediately felt their eyes light up.

The girl standing at the door was wearing a long black dress. Her hair was not curled and was draped smoothly by her side. There was a blooming spider lily beside her ear.

The jewelry she was wearing was an expensive amethyst, and she exuded a mysterious aura. She wore exquisite black silk gloves, and her beautiful cat eyes swept across everyone’s faces.

She was really beautiful. It was the kind of beauty that was breathtaking and oppressive.

Lin Fan opened his mouth in surprise. “God, what kind of godly girl is this?”

Another rich second-generation heir also said, “She looks like a god who has descended to the mortal world.”

Actually, it was not accurate to say that she was a god. She was more like the beautiful witch Lilith.

The red spider lily accentuated her fair face. Her graceful figure was wrapped in black velvet, and the black gems on her dress shone under the light.

She was too beautiful!

“Which family are you from? I’ve never seen you before. I’m Lin Fan, the second son of the Lin family in Chengxi.” Lin Fan politely reached out to shake Qi Ying’s hand.

Qi Ying looked at him and nodded slightly. “Qi Ying.”

Hearing this name, everyone’s jaws dropped.

What? This person was Qi Ying? The rural woman who raised pigs?

How could she be so good-looking?

Weren’t village women covered in ugly calluses and spots? How could it be this delicate-skinned woman in front of him?

Everyone started discussing.

This rumored lost daughter was not a country bumpkin with rough manners, but a slender beauty.

Even the elders who came to watch the concert were surprised.

Zhang Ning walked out of the backstage and realized that everyone was surrounding the door. She walked forward strangely.

The banquet was about to begin. Why were they blocking the door?

Could it be that there were other guests attending today?

She walked closer and almost dropped the things in her hand when she saw the beautiful girl with a graceful figure.

Yan Bin stood beside her with his mouth agape.
