When Chang Ningning saw Jin Jingrong and Feng Shuyuan, she could not help but think of the sight of Jin Di leaving with Zuo Aiai.
Her eyes reddened and she called out aggrievedly, "Uncle Jin, Auntie Jin..."
Chang Ningning had been trying to get close to their family ever since her aunt Chang Xuan married Jin Jingsheng.
Jin Jingrong had a good relationship with Jin Jingsheng and was very polite to his niece-in-law. He tried his best to help as much as he could.
However, Feng Shuyuan was different.
Chang Ningning's family background was average. Although she looked okay, she was not good enough for her son, Jin Di.
Even if her aunt was Chang Xuan, she had no reason to find her son such a wife.
Therefore, she had always treated Chang Ningning as a friend only on the surface.
"Oh, Ningning, it's been hard on you. You came out to pick us up so late."
Although Feng Shuyuan was not very happy to see Jin Di's shadow, she did not want to see Chang Ningning stirring up trouble in front of Jin Jingrong. So, she walked up with a smile and held Chang Ningning's hand.
Chang Ningning was waiting for Uncle Jin to ask her what happened, but before he could ask, Feng Shuyuan interrupted him.
The words caught in her throat and did not say it out loud. She did not have the chance to bring it up again!
She was unhappy, but she still pretended to be sensible and demure. "Auntie Jin, this is my job. It's not hard."
Feng Shuyuan smiled in satisfaction and patted her white hand.
"Your aunt went to Canada today. A famous university invited her to teach. She will be back in half a month. Your uncle's concert in Sydney was added on the spot because of good feedback. In the end, only the two elders whom you are not familiar with came."
The word "not familiar" skillfully pulled the distance between them apart.
Chang Ningning had always known that Feng Shuyuan didn't like her very much. However, on the surface, she was still very friendly because of her aunt.
Chang Ningning had been trying hard to please her, intending to lay a foundation for her future.
However, Feng Shuyuan's every sentence was filled with rejection. Chang Ningning felt a little embarrassed.
"Auntie Jin, what are you talking about? My aunt and uncle don't have children, and aunt said that I'm their daughter...if you think about it this way, you and Uncle Jin are also my uncle and aunt...we're very close..."
"Haha, Jingrong, look at this child, Ningning. Her words are really likable. Then you can be considered half a niece and half a cousin...seeing how you two are supporting each other, your uncle Jingrong and I are also happy."
Hearing this, Chang Ningning finally reacted. It seemed that Feng Shuyuan's words just now were a trap for her?
What cousin?
Was it hinting that there was no possibility of further development between her and Jin Di?
Chang Ningning was fuming, and her face had an ugly expression on it.
However, Feng Shuyuan acted as if she didn't see and looked away with a smile. "Where's the emperor? Is he still busy inside?"
Hearing Feng Shuyuan's question, Chang Ningning suddenly squeezed out an noise that made it seem like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Jin Jingrong's military style couldn't stand coyness. "What's going on?"
"President Jin, he...he, he just left the banquet hall with a Miss Zuo in his arms...the banquet isn't over yet. I tried to stop him several times, but I couldn't..."
