Chapter 1472: Chapter 1468: An Expensive Gift
This remark was directed at Ye Ning, and as it was said, a glance was cast her way.
The implication was that she, too, was just an outsider; only the Mu Family’s Madam was qualified to go inside.
Ye Ning naturally knew this.
In the past, whenever she attended such crowded banquets, she never remained outside; Mu Yeli always took her straight inside.
Those socialites scoffed, "See? This is where the mistress of the Mu Family belongs. You’re destined to be a mistress, only able to watch from the outside."
Ye Ning scoffed back.
A few people chattered as they walked out, saying, "Wow, thanks to Madam Mu, we all get to go inside and have a look today."
"Inside, it’s full of those high-ranking people from the Mu Family. I’ve hardly seen any of them before."
"Hehe, I wonder if I might find some promising young man."
"I think you just want to find someone from the Mu Family to marry."
Ye Ning watched them walk away, and others nearby were also watching, chatting animatedly, "Wow, could this be Mu Yeli’s mistress outside?"
"Her appearance is really striking."
"Indeed, the two standing together just now, in terms of temperament or looks, she’s better than the original wife."
"Madam Mu will have a day where she’s pushed aside, right?"
"But she’s right, being Madam Mu isn’t something just anyone can do."
"Exactly, see how Madam Mu went straight inside without caring for the outside."
"This is a kind of declaration, making her look so pitiful. Being someone’s mistress is useless if you can’t enter the Mu Family either."
"True, the Madam’s status is non-negotiable."
Ye Ning sat down, too lazy to bother with the suspicious glances, just looking outside, wondering what arrangements Mu Yeli had in mind today.
Anyway, since he hadn’t arrived yet, she wasn’t in a hurry to go out.
At this time,
The banquet finally began, and the elder of the Mu Family came out.
Everyone instantly gathered around, still glancing over at Ye Ning, curious about what she might do.
But Ye Ling had already stood off to one side.
Mu Hai looked at everyone, "Thank you all for coming to see this old man. Actually, I said I wouldn’t hold it, but they didn’t listen, so it’s hard on you all."
No one dared to say it was hard.
They were all just glad to have this day to worm their way into the Mu Family.
They wished there was a birthday banquet every day so they could always have this opportunity to come.
At this point, people finally could, one by one, present their compliments.
Those carefully prepared gifts were presented one by one.
"A piece of jade agate, Second Shopkeeper."
"A set of General plaques, by the Mu Rong Qing family."
"Madam Sui Qinglan presents a Tianshan orchid plum."
Everyone vied for attention, offering things the elder loved, all sorts of treasures, making others green with envy.
Everyone listening was more dumbfounded with each gift.
They were all rare treasures.
Everyone was saying, as expected of the Mu Family, with so many treasures.
Now, it was finally the youngsters’ turn.
"Ye Ning presents a Zhang Qinggang painting of chrysanthemums."
The people behind expressed a burst of amazement when they heard.
"Wow, Zhang Qinggang, no way."
"I heard he’s stopped painting, and his existing works have all been bought up, impossible to find anywhere."
"Yes, last time, one of his paintings was auctioned for a billion in Doren."
"Wow, a billion, that’s so expensive."
