After the elevator was put down, everyone thought Aunt Gui, who had an extraordinary status and admired the lady, would be the first to walk up to her. However, Aunt Gui's gaze shifted from Mu Qianqian to the man walking up slowly.
"Young Master Rong, the gift you prepared is really amazing. This is the most sincere music I've ever heard, and it surpasses many international piano masters. May I know this lady's name? Who is Young Master Rong?"
Mu Qianqian naturally heard what Aunt Gui said clearly. She, who was already nervous, couldn't look away from Rong Heting's face when she heard other people's questions.
She bit her lips, not knowing how Rong Heting would explain their relationship. Especially since his fiancee, Ling Jinghan, was still standing here, what kind of status should she have to face the crowd?
When her gaze landed on Ling Jinghan's mocking words, the red blush that had been caused by her nervousness vanished, leaving her pale and powerless.
The person who came up to ask for her identity was a relative of Ling Jinghan, right? She intentionally asked Rong Heting to embarrass her, right?
Rong Heting looked at Mu Qianqian, who was looking at him helplessly. His thin lips were pursed into a straight line.
He did not directly answer Ling Gui's question. Instead, he glanced at Mu Qianqian with an indifferent expression before naturally reaching his hand out to hold Ling Jinghan's hand.
"Aunt Gui, please excuse me, but it is her honor to be able to receive Aunt Gui's praise for this song. She is merely a member of my Rong Manor."
Rong Heting's attitude was very obvious. At this moment, everyone at the banquet felt that there was an unusual atmosphere between them.
If such a woman was from Rong Manor, she would definitely attract Rong Heting's attention. Secretly, there were a lot of people who heard that Young Master Rong had a new pet, so was this the woman in front of him?
Today was Ling Jinghan's birthday party, and this girl who looked purer and prettier than Ling Jinghan had specially come here to fight for a pet?
Questions flashed across everyone's mind. Furthermore, the young masters of the aristocratic families who often attended the banquet also recognized the girl in front of them after they recovered from their shock.
Ting Ye had been looking for Young Master. When she walked down from the stage, she noticed the displeasure hidden under the indifferent gaze of Rong Heting. However, she didn't believe that her young master would not be moved by Qianqian's stunning performance.
At this moment, when Ting Ye saw Aunt Gui, who had appeared at the forefront of the crowd, she was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of banquet was it today? Why were the people beside Mrs Wen here?
Aunt Gui was an existence with a special identity within the Ling Family. She was a reading companion that the Mrs Wen Family had chosen for her from an orphanage. Growing up with Mrs Wen, she was actually a close friend even though she was said to be master and servant.
That year, Mrs Wen had married into the Charm City and Aunt Gui had followed along. In order to prove her loyalty, she changed her name to Ling Gui.
Ling Gui said that she was Mrs Wen's servant, but in Ling Family, other than Mrs Wen and her husband, Ling Ao and Ling Jinghan also had to treat her with respect.
According to Aunt Gui's status and identity, she would not normally participate in banquets. Furthermore, flying from the Charm City all the way to the Dongfeng City, other than the main character of the banquets being Ling Jinghan, no one else would have such face.
Ting Ye's mind was in a mess. She wanted to go up and say something, but her arm was stopped before she could do anything.
Ting Ye turned her head and saw Hua Yunrong standing beside her. Although he held her wrist, Hua Yunrong's line of sight was still fixed in front of her.
Just when Ting Ye found herself in trouble, she heard Aunt Gui's gentle and questioning voice.
"Is it someone from the Rong Manor? I have never heard of anyone with such a spiritual beauty like her being in the Rong Manor. I wonder if this young lady is the same as Ting Lan, a servant of the Rong Manor? "
Even though her tone was warm and indifferent, her last sentence still hurt Mu Qianqian and Ting Ye's nerves.
Ting Ye no longer dared to rashly go up and explain anything to Qianqian. In the end, she and her elder sister were only servants of the Rong Manor, and there was no room for her to interrupt their masters.
She had been taught by her elder sister since she was young, and would never mess up the rules of Rong Family in front of Aunt Gui.
These words made Mu Qianqian even more nervous. She had heard from Ting Ye that Ting Ye and Ting Lan were not only servants of Rong Family, they were also Rong Heting's servants.
Mu Qianqian felt as though all the blood in her body had been frozen over. The words spoken by the elegant and graceful Madam hid a sharp edge. Was she trying to tell everyone that she was in dire straits?
Everyone was waiting for Rong Heting's answer. Even Ling Jinghan became nervous.
Originally, she was relieved when she heard that Rong Heting did not directly reply to Lili. A woman that even Heting did not care to give to was naturally a person that couldn't afford to show respect. However, Lili was afraid that she would infuriate Rong Heting by forcing him.
It was best not to involve himself in Rong Heting's relationship with someone who was not important to him.
After Rong Heting heard Aunt Gui's question, not only did he not get angry, but he even revealed a faint smile. However, that smile was not there. Only Mu Qianqian could see the viciousness behind it.
He was cold and proud, and the words he spoke were even more cold and proud.
"In all of Rong Manor, I'm the only master."
"…"
"No matter if it's Yunrong, Ling Ao, or Jinghan, no one's Rong Manor can surpass mine. After all, Rong Family is not Ling Family, could it be that Aunt Gui doesn't know?"
Rong Heting's words directly slapped Aunt Gui's face. Currently, all of the noble family's daughters who followed Aunt Gui from Charm City also understood the meaning behind Rong Heting's words.
Everyone knew about the special identity of this Aunt Gui from Charm City. That was why they understood even more clearly that Aunt Gui's probing had angered Young Master Di's, Rong Heting's, bottom line.
Rong Heting's words undoubtedly told Ling Gui that while she might be the master of the Ling Family who could interfere with Ling Ao and Ling Jinghan's matters, she was merely a servant in the Rong Family.
Not only that, even if Ling Jinghan were to one day marry into Rong Family, it would be impossible for her to think of using her identity as his wife to bind him.
Aunt Gui's elegant smile froze for a moment. She didn't expect Rong Heting to ignore her in front of so many people.
However, such a thing actually happened. Right now, it was hard for her to question Rong Heting with her identity.
As expected, Young Master Di and Rong Heting were not existences she could touch.
