Chapter 558: People of Different Destinies
f necessity, and a few simple conversations, he fell hopelessly in love with her.Actually, he hadn't expected to find his beloved woman so quickly.Emotion is truly something incredible, so subtle that...Furthermore, another reason is that all the noblewomen known to Madam Leng would be bringing their sons, daughters, or even their daughters-in-law to attend the event today.
More importantly, they were all there for the highlight of tonight's charity auction, the "Blue Love Affair" - a 13.14 carat blue heart-shaped diamond necklace.
After changing into her evening gown, Tong Yimo certainly did not disappoint Madam Leng.
Mrs. Leng hired a high-end makeup artist to give Tong Yimuo a delicate makeup look. When she arrived at the banquet, many people mistook her for the popular film and television star Su Manxue.
However, Su Manxue herself was also at this banquet.
Mrs. Leng is a woman with a sharp tongue but a kind heart. Su Manxue used to get along well with her. As long as she said a few nice words to please Mrs. Leng, there wouldn't be too many problems between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
More than just Su Manxue delighted Madam Hu with her actions; it was also her circle of girlfriends.
"Your daughter-in-law is really beautiful. When is your son getting married We haven't had the chance to celebrate with you at his wedding."
The Cold family has always been low-key in their dealings with others, unlike someone like [name of person], whose son spent a hundred million on his wedding.
"That actress, Su Manxue, on stage probably got her face done looking at your daughter-in-law!"
All the seats were occupied by wealthy matrons from prominent families. The noble ladies seated around Mrs. Leng, showered her with compliments incessantly.
The other day, there was news that the Cold family had a funeral and were doing white affairs. The wealthy wives all knew that Mrs. Cold only had one son. They expressed their condolences on the surface, but secretly they gossiped behind her back, saying she was a widow-maker and also brought misfortune to her son.
Everyone originally thought that the Leng Group would fall apart after this, but who knew that the Leng family was getting richer and richer, and their fame had even reached abroad.
More importantly, Cold Ye Chen's sudden appearance during this time completely silenced this group of wealthy ladies. None of them dared to gossip about the Cold family anymore.
Tong Yimo sat quietly beside Mrs. Leng, watching Su Manxue and other male and female stars on stage performing for the banquet.
The dinner was a banquet style, with a stage at the top and tables upon tables below.
All the performers on stage were stars, and in the front row of the audience, most of them were influential people.
While Lady Leng sat in the center of the front table.
Tong Yimo had no impression of Su Manxue on the stage, but she did admit that she and that Su Manxue looked exactly alike.
After Su Manxue finished singing and went off stage, she specifically ran to this front-row VIP area to toast Mrs. Leng, but she didn't expect that Tong Yimo, who was supposed to be dead, was actually sitting alive beside Mrs. Leng.
Tong Yimo's death, was cold daying told her, she heard this news at the time, secretly happy for a long time in her heart, went back and specially opened champagne to celebrate.
So, now when she saw Tong Yimo's face again, a face that looked exactly like hers, she felt very uneasy.
"I haven't been feeling well lately, so I won't be drinking." Facing Su Manxue's red wine glass offered with a smile, Leng Fu-ren refused coldly.
The few wealthy ladies standing nearby didn't dare say a word, they were all watching Su Manxue's joke.
There's a reason why many wealthy families look down on entertainers.
This group of wealthy wives generally don't want their sons to marry women from the entertainment industry.
Well, before it was considered a "mother-in-law and daughter-in-law" situation. Su Manxue didn't expect Madame Leng to be so disrespectful.
Tong Yimo saw Su Manxue's embarrassment, so she proactively took the red wine glass from Su Manxue's hand and smiled faintly: "I'll drink this glass for my mother!"
"Thank you." Su Manxue managed to pull at a smile, pretending to be calm as she clinked her glass with Tong Yimo.
Tong Yimo called Leng Fu-ren "Mom" in public instead of "Mother-in-law". She's really good at playing mind games.
Su Manxue smiled with a hidden dagger in her eyes, staring at Tong Yimo.
"You're blocking my view of the performance," Lady Leng said calmly.
Su Manxue's expression faltered, and she immediately moved aside. In the end, unable to stand it any longer, she could only politely nod her head and leave first.
When she came back from Lady Cold, several actresses who were several ranks lower than her were whispering and mocking her for overreaching.
Everyone in the circle knows that Su Manxue's backer is the boss of Leng Corporation. Who would have thought that the boss's own mother wouldn't buy her act
Perhaps because she had been drinking, Tong Yimo watched the performance for a while and felt a bit dizzy. She told Leng Fu Ren that she was going to the restroom, but in reality, she just wanted to go outside for some fresh air.
The air outside the venue is much fresher than inside. Outside, it's a courtyard garden with various potted plants and flowers arranged on a lush green lawn. Under the glow of the lawn lights, there's a sense of a hundred flowers vying for beauty.
Tong Yimo walked into the garden and sat down on a stone bench. She subconsciously touched her stomach.
Uh—
I'm a little hungry.
The dishes at the dinner party weren't really to her taste.
At this moment, a shadow was approaching her.
Feeling a presence behind her, Tong Yimo was startled. She instinctively rose from the stone bench and turned around cautiously.
There stood before her a tall man with short, choppy hair, clad in a silver suit that fit him perfectly. He exuded an air of gentle refinement, his features handsome and striking.
