It was the eightieth birthday of Madam Ling. Ling Tao made a huge party out of it, inviting friends, business partners, upper-class socialites, as well as famous singers, and film stars. The gesture earned huge face for the old lady who always cared about what other people thought.
Madam Ling walked down the stairs slowly in the arms of Ling Yuqing and Guan Meiyi. Her wrinkly face was glowing with pride, taking in all the good wishes from the guests.
Posing as the female head of a powerful, Qu Wan stood by Ling Tao's side, looking refined and graceful as they welcomed the guests.
Qu Wan was just as vain as Madam Ling. She loved occasions where she got to show off her distinguished status. She was especially pleased to see her daughter Ling Yuqing, who had become a beauty, standing next to Madam Ling and being admired by everyone.
