158 A Sudden Appearance
Madam Nie’s malicious speculation was immediately refuted by someone.
“They’re willing to take out tens of millions of dollars worth of jewelry and the latest haute couture to support their daughter’s image. They even brought her up on stage to give her a lot of glory. Even if they take it back later, it’s enough to show how much they value their daughter. No matter how bad it is, it’s much better than those parents who can’t even bear to buy a good dress for their own daughter and let her pick up other people’s old clothes to wear!”
Madam Nie’s face trembled. She opened her mouth but couldn’t say anything for a long time.
The unreliable parents this man was referring to were her. A few years ago, when her eldest son got married, the gown that Madam Nie’s daughter wore at the wedding banquet was recognized as an old dress worn by Madam Nie’s niece.
Her two sons were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and even the clothes and accessories she was wearing were the latest season’s clothes and jewelry. However, her only daughter was wearing an old dress that others had worn once and wouldn’t wear again, and she was hiding pitifully in a corner.
Because of this incident, the Nie family’s wedding became a joke in upper-class society. It also showed people how much Madam Nie valued men over women.
Because of this, President Nie, who usually didn’t care about family affairs, flew into a rage when he got home and scolded Madam Nie badly. Then Miss Nie made a big scene and got a sum of money to get away from the Nie family.
Madam Nie also knew what those people were saying about her behind her back, but this was the first time that someone had pointed at her and scolded her to her face. She said angrily,
“Hmph, no matter how much our family doesn’t value our daughter, we didn’t push her into the fire pit. The Le family loves their daughter so much, but they let her find a poor boy. I can see how much the Le family is willing to give to their precious daughter.”
The crowd didn’t know how to refute. After all, they didn’t understand the Le couple’s plan. Besides, although they were not as patriarchal as Madam Nie, they were still used to leaving the majority of the family property to their sons.
After successfully stopping their mouths, Madam Nie proudly took a sip of wine. However, she suddenly heard a clamor from the main hall. Everyone raised their heads and looked over. They were all surprised when they realized that the person who was surrounded in the middle was Ren Rong.
Ren Rong was the president of Dahong Corporation.
“Why would he be at the Le corporation’s cocktail party? I didn’t hear that the two families had a good relationship before.”
Some people thought about how Ren Rong had previously liked Papa Le’s moments. In addition to his personal visit today, there were rumors that Dahong Corporation and Le Corporation were about to reach cooperation. At that moment, many people’s evaluation of Le Corporation rose to a higher level.
“President Ren, it’s an honor to have you here today.” As the host, Papa Le naturally had to go up and welcome him.
Facing everyone’s shocked eyes, he appeared very calm, but in fact, he was no less surprised than the others.
When the two companies were discussing and signing the contract, Papa Le had handed him an invitation letter when they parted ways. It was originally just a courtesy, but he didn’t expect him to really come with the invitation letter today.
President Ren shook his hand enthusiastically.
“I had something to do today and was delayed. I’m sorry I’m late.”
Facing such a big boss, Papa Le didn’t have any stage fright.
“I’m already very happy that you could take the time to come. Besides, the party has just started. Please take a seat here. He led him to the main table and sat him down.”
When he saw Le Wan along the way, President Ren even stopped and greeted her,
“Miss Le, why are you alone? Where’s your little boyfriend?”
“President Ren, Zhai Jing is only a few months younger than me,” Le Wan explained helplessly. “So, stop calling him “little boyfriend.”
It sounded like she was an old cow eating young grass.
Cough, cough.
Although she was indeed four months older than Zhai Jing, she was still eighteen years old. That was why Le Wan was determined not to admit the age.
“No wonder he looks more mature than you.” Ren Rong laughed.
“Two days ago, I asked him if he was free, but he said he wasn’t. I thought he was here to attend the party.”
The moment Ren Rong’s words left his mouth, it undoubtedly caused the people present to be slightly dumbstruck.
Wasn’t Miss Le’s boyfriend a poor boy? From President Ren’s tone, the two of them seemed to be very familiar with each other, even with Miss Le. On the other hand, Le Chang, who was standing at the side with a smile, seemed to be more distant from President Ren.
Madam Nie, who had been feeling smug just a moment ago, immediately felt her face burning with pain when she heard what he said.
