Ye Lan casually said, “She’s from a small town.”

“What’s wrong with being from a small town? The Zhus also started from a small town, look at their birthday banquet, so grand and impressive. Everyone envies them. It’s because they produced a remarkable person in Ming Jing. As long as someone has a connection with Ms. Ming Jing, they’ll surely benefit from it.”

This Lin Ya is different from Zhu Xiangxiang, they are blood-related.

As for Zhu Xiangxiang, to put it bluntly, she’s like a sparrow occupying a swallow’s nest. It’s even an overstatement to call her a sparrow, she’s more like a little moth. Who in Manjiangzhou would take her seriously?

Lin Ya is Ming Jing’s legitimate cousin. Just look at how Madam Zhu favors her; Zhu Xiangxiang might fall out of favor soon.

“Yeah, Madam Zhu isn’t a fool. At first, it was difficult for her to part with her adoptive daughter of more than a decade, but time is the ultimate test of people’s hearts. Eventually, she’ll see who’s good and who’s not.”

At first, when Madam Ye heard Madam Zhu didn’t like Ming Jing and favored the fake one instead, she cursed Madam Zhu for being kicked in the head by a donkey, saying that she’d regret it sooner or later.

The door opened, and Madam Gao and Gao Jia walked in.

Ye Lan affectionately linked arms with Gao Jia, “You’re here.”

Gao Jia said irritably, “I didn’t want to come, but my mom dragged me here. Oh, did you just see Lin Ya? I didn’t expect her to be Zhu Mingjing’s cousin. I always wondered why Ming Jing would help her for no reason. If Hu Guo’er knew this, her nose would be all twisted from anger.”

After finishing her sentence, she laughed with malicious glee. She had disliked Hu Guo’er for a long time and felt that Hu Guo’er thought too highly of herself at school. Now, it served her right to hit a dead-end.

Ye Lan looked at the woman beside Madam Gao and asked, “Is that your second aunt?”

“Yeah, my second aunt is in poor health and doesn’t usually attend social gatherings. But she said that after drinking the medicine Charles Gao gave her, her health improved a lot. It turned out the prescription was from Zhu Mingjing, so my second aunt is very grateful to Ming Jing. She insisted on coming to this banquet no matter what.”

Ye Lan said, “Ms. Zhu is really kind-hearted.”

Gao Jia pursed her lips and didn’t say anything, as they were on someone else’s territory.

Soon, an elegant young girl entered, and Gao Jia waved, “Ningning.”

Ye Lan glanced at the girl, “Your cousin came too?”

Bai Weining came over and said with a smile, “Sister Ye Lan, long time no see, you’re even more beautiful than last time we met.”

Ye Lan touched her cheek and laughed, “Ningning, you’re the one who has grown more beautiful. Now you’re a big star, I wouldn’t even dare recognize you when you go out.”

Bai Weining sat down and linked arms with Gao Jia, “Cousin, I’m so bored. When will the banquet start?”

She had just looked around but didn’t see Brother Qu. Was he not coming tonight?

No way, he’s in Jiangzhou, he must not miss this event.

“Let’s wait a bit longer. At the very least, we have to wait for everyone to arrive. The stars haven’t even shown up yet. We’re just here to make up the numbers.” Gao Jia was cracking melon seeds while turning on the TV with the remote control, searching for a recently popular drama to watch.

A cliché drama about wealthy families, full of cheating scandals and car accidents, with slapping faces left, right, and center. It was a non-stop thrill. Madam Ye and both Madam Gaos, who were chatting, were attracted by the TV screen, and they stopped talking, devoting their full attention to the drama.

The rich second generation abandoned his childhood sweetheart from a well-to-do family, in favor of a poor Cinderella who has nothing but kindness. They even turned against their family for her.

The three Madams’ mouths twitched.

“These dramas really corrupt kids, transmitting the wrong values. Only a rich second-generation guy who’s been kicked in the head by a donkey would prefer a Cinderella over his childhood sweetheart from an equally wealthy family. Is this possible in real life?” Madam Gao grumbled.

Fortunately, she had no sons and didn’t have this worry.

Madam Gao and Madam Ye exchanged looks, empathizing with each other.

Bai Weining giggled, “Aunt, you’re wrong. What’s wrong with pursuing free love? I think the male lead is very brave. A planned life is not interesting. With Cinderella, there are endless possibilities for the days ahead.”

Madam Gao spoke earnestly, “Ningning, you’re still too young and naïve. In fairy tales, the prince and Cinderella live happily ever after, but what happens next? Those tales never continue because, after marriage, reality sets in. The couple’s vastly different backgrounds and educations would cause friction, attracted only by the novelty at first. Once the novelty fades, conflicts emerge, and life becomes trivial. It would only end in an awkward situation.”
