158 A Sudden Appearance
Madam Nieâs malicious speculation was immediately refuted by someone.
âTheyâre willing to take out tens of millions of dollars worth of jewelry and the latest haute couture to support their daughterâs image. They even brought her up on stage to give her a lot of glory. Even if they take it back later, itâs enough to show how much they value their daughter. No matter how bad it is, itâs much better than those parents who canât even bear to buy a good dress for their own daughter and let her pick up other peopleâs old clothes to wear!â
Madam Nieâs face trembled. She opened her mouth but couldnât 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 Nieâs daughter wore at the wedding banquet was recognized as an old dress worn by Madam Nieâs niece.
!!
Her two sons were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, and even the clothes and accessories she was wearing were the latest seasonâs clothes and jewelry. However, her only daughter was wearing an old dress that others had worn once and wouldnât wear again, and she was hiding pitifully in a corner.
Because of this incident, the Nie familyâs 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 didnât 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,
âHmph, no matter how much our family doesnât value our daughter, we didnât 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.â
The crowd didnât know how to refute. After all, they didnât understand the Le coupleâs 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.
âWhy would he be at the Le corporationâs cocktail party? I didnât hear that the two families had a good relationship before.â
Some people thought about how Ren Rong had previously liked Papa Leâs 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 peopleâs evaluation of Le Corporation rose to a higher level.
âPresident Ren, itâs an honor to have you here today.â As the host, Papa Le naturally had to go up and welcome him.
Facing everyoneâs 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 didnât expect him to really come with the invitation letter today.
President Ren shook his hand enthusiastically.
âI had something to do today and was delayed. Iâm sorry Iâm late.â
Facing such a big boss, Papa Le didnât have any stage fright.
âIâm 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.â
When he saw Le Wan along the way, President Ren even stopped and greeted her,
âMiss Le, why are you alone? Whereâs your little boyfriend?â
âPresident Ren, Zhai Jing is only a few months younger than me,â Le Wan explained helplessly. âSo, stop calling him âlittle boyfriend.â
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.
âNo wonder he looks more mature than you.â Ren Rong laughed.
âTwo days ago, I asked him if he was free, but he said he wasnât. I thought he was here to attend the party.â
The moment Ren Rongâs words left his mouth, it undoubtedly caused the people present to be slightly dumbstruck.
Wasnât Miss Leâs boyfriend a poor boy? From President Renâs 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.
