Chapter 499: sarcasm.
Gu Kuangen could not spare the time due to the company's matters. However, with Lan Yu and Zhang Guo by Shi Caining's side, he was relieved.
In the fifth-floor lobby of the Ningyun Hotel, after Shi Caining showed the invitation letter, she and Wen Ning walked into the magnificent lobby.
In the lobby, there were round tables with exquisite wine cups and other tableware.
Tonight's banquet was mainly a psychological lecture and charity. The charity was organized by the people from the Ningyun Hotel, and David Liu was also invited here to give a speech to all sorts of people or psychological counselors who were under pressure.
It was rare for Favid Liu to return to Country Z. This time, it was because of old Mr. Bai's kindness that he participated in this speech.
When Shi Caining and the others stepped into the lobby, it was almost filled with people.
At a glance, there was a crowd of people everywhere. The men and women were well dressed, and they were all people who were either rich or noble.
Some of them were not here for David Liu, but for the Bai family. After all, old Mr. Bai was the president's former favorite general.
Although they had retired, the Bai family was doing well in the business world. Especially since Bai Ziting had become the best actor. The salary of a movie or a TV show could kill the income of many entrepreneurs.
With the Bai family standing out, the banquet tonight was naturally packed with guests.
Shi Caining did not like this kind of banquet, but she was here for David Liu. So even if there were people she did not want to meet, she still persevered.
"There are seats over there. Although it's a little more to the side, it should be quieter." Wen Ning pointed to the last seat on the left.
It was a little far from the podium, but all the speeches nowadays had microphones, so even if they sat far away, they could still hear clearly.
"Then let's go over there!" Shi Caining nodded. She liked that seat as well. At least it would not be too eye-catching.
There were too many people tonight, and there were people she did not want to see. Actually, when she entered the door, Shi Caining saw Yu Shuangwei.
She did not expect that Yu Shuangwei would appear at this place. Of course, what she did not expect was that beside Yu Shuangwei was actually Li Tingshen!
Ha! Looks like she had guessed it right. Yu Shuangwei was really shameless, to actually get involved with her biological father...
Shi Caining was a little depressed and sat down with Wen Ning. Lan Yu and Zhang Guo stood on her left and right respectively.
The lobby was lively and noisy. Before the main owner appeared, Shi Caining could feel Yu Shuangwei raising her head and looking in her direction.
Her gaze landed on Yu Shuangwei, who revealed a faint smile that contained a hint of sarcasm.
Shi Caining sneered. This woman did not even care about her face. She had actually climbed up to Li Tingshen!
She turned around and said to Wen Ning, "The psychology professor who came this time is very famous. It's rare for him to come to Country Z. You can listen to it carefully..."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, sister-in-law!" Wen Ning smiled. "I've made a deal with father and the others. I'm not afraid of being a single mother. I'll treat my child as a treasure... At least, I won't vent my anger on him."
Wen Ning's expression was filled with melancholy.
Shi Caining comforted her, "It's best if you think it over carefully. Other people's opinions can only be taken as reference."
A bitter smile blossomed on Wen Ning's small face.
Professor Liu David quickly went up on stage. "Ladies and gentlemen, good evening... Today's society is developing rapidly. People will be impacted by all sorts of things every day. Career, love, material and so on..."
Professor Liu started his speech, and both Shi Caining and Wen Ning listened attentively.
Li Tingshen was somewhat resistant to this kind of speech. He coldly glanced at the man on stage, then turned his head to look at the serious Shi Caining.
His gaze was incomparably complicated.
