"Look, even Mr. Feng acknowledged it," Mary said. "So, having you as my model makes proud. It’s a win-win situation. I hope we can get along well in the future."
"So... did you invite for that reason?" Sheng Ning knew foreigners prefer straightforwardness, so she asked directly.
"Of course not." Mary shook her head quickly, "Before, when Lady Zhenzhen wanted to be my model, I refused."
"That’s good, I agree."
"Great!" Mary happily high-fived her.
"Sheng Ning." Feng Zhenzhen ca over, intimately holding Sheng Ning’s arm, and said to Mary, "Dear Lady Crab, can I borrow Sheng Ning for a while?"
"Of course!" Mary raised her eyebrows at Sheng Ning, smiling as she left.
"Co with , my task today is to introduce you to our family."
"I have sothing to tell you." Sheng Ning handed the child to Aunt Feng, pulling Feng Zhenzhen to the long table with exquisite food, "You know I’m going back to the mainland, right?"
"So what?"
"The mainland is where my husband and relatives are, so there’s no way I’d stay."
"And then?" Feng Zhenzhen crossed her arms, looking her up and down, gauging that Sheng Ning probably understood the significance of the ring.
Sheng Ning turned around, took a small piece of cheesecake, and ate a bite, enjoying the beautiful, lting taste that improved her mood. She confidently raised her eyebrows and said slowly, "Although the mainland is not as prosperous as Country M, it will develop quickly. Besides, my status there is not any lower than yours. My husband is a Captain, and he will be the President in the future. My grandfather, my uncles, all of them hold power."
A fleeting trace of embarrassnt crossed Feng Zhenzhen’s face; it seed Qin Cuifen hadn’t exaggerated Sheng Ning’s family background before.
"Although the Feng Family is wealthy and holds a significant position in Country M, it’s not what I pursue." Sheng Ning clearly expressed her attitude; she didn’t want to unintentionally provoke an enemy.
Besides, she really wasn’t interested in anything related to the Feng Family.
Currently, the only thing she wanted was to return to her country.
"I understand." Feng Zhenzhen quietly suppressed the murderous intent in her eyes, re-linking her arm, "Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to new friends. There are so many cousins and relatives that even I can’t recognize them all."
"Alright alright!" She had already ntally prepared for today’s visit.
*****
The banquet lasted until the evening, leaving Sheng Ning and others utterly exhausted. Feng Zhenzhen introduced her to many people, with nas so chaotic that she couldn’t rember them.
The baby was consistently cared for by Aunt Feng.
Chief Ni set aside a room for him to rest; the baby was taken to the room to rest when he fell asleep.
Afterwards, Sheng Ning changed into comfortable casual wear to bid farewell to Mr. Feng, with Housekeeper Xing personally seeing her ho.
Once they left, the crowd of Feng Family sons and daughters exploded.
"Why her?"
"What gives her the right to wear the family patriarch’s ring?"
"What’s grandpa thinking?"
The crowd was very dissatisfied, pulling Feng Jianxi and said, "Fourth brother, clearly you’re the Feng Family’s young master, and are incredibly capable. Why should a wild girl, from who knows where, qualify as an heir?"
