Bai Ning felt a little uncomfortable, but because his family members were there, he did not lose his temper immediately. He just frowned and endured it.

Gong Qilin fulfilled his duties as a host and warmly entertained all relatives and friends, so he ignored his granddaughter's subtle reaction.

After some introduction, Bai Ning roughly figured out the identities of these guests.

They are all branches of the huge Gong family. Gong Qilin is one of the branches and is the most powerful and prestigious person in the family. The rest of the relatives are dependent on him.

"Ningning, that's your fourth uncle. He's also in City A. You may have met him."

Bai Ning looked up and immediately recognized the man's identity.

She had indeed met Fourth Uncle Gong before, because he had worked with Lan Qichen before. If she remembered correctly, the last time they met was seven years ago, at the Lan Group.

At that time, Bai Ning and Lan Qichen were not in a good relationship. That day, he was working despite having a cold, his throat was itchy, and he kept coughing. She was concerned about his health and sent him some specially stewed candied pears with rock sugar, but she was knocked to the ground by the arrogant Xia Nuanbing.

Not only did Lan Qichen not stand on the side of his wife, he turned around and blamed Bai Ning for being so careless, warning her not to go to the company unless necessary, with an arrogant attitude and a look of disgust.

Fourth Uncle Gong showed up at that occasion. He felt sorry for Bai Ning's situation and helped her clean up the mess on the ground, so she had a very good impression of this man.

"Long time no see. I didn't expect you to be my niece. I should call you Ningning then."

Fourth Uncle Gong took the initiative to greet me. He had a humble temperament and a gentle smile on his face, just like when we first met.

Bai Ning smiled and nodded: "Hello, Fourth Uncle."

Sometimes fate is so wonderful. Two people who have only met once would never expect that the other person is their blood relative.

When everyone was present, Gong Qilin announced in public: "I called everyone to the manor today because I have a happy event to tell you - my eldest grandson Xiaoyu has met the girl I will protect for the rest of my life, and I specially called everyone here to witness their love!"

what?

Bai Ning was stunned when she heard this. As far as she knew, the only woman related to Gong Yu was Cheng Xiang, and the relationship between the two was stable and they were very loving.

In other words, Gong Yu has decided to marry Cheng Xiang?

But that woman is of low status. Will the Gong family really allow her to marry into the family?

Bai Ning didn't know how Gong Yu convinced his family to bring Cheng Xiang back, and was thinking about how to reveal the woman's true face to everyone.

Just at this moment, Gong Yu's voice came from the door.

"Grandpa, we are back."

When he said "we", it meant that he had decided to be with Cheng Xiang in this life and regarded her as his wife from the bottom of his heart.

Bai Ning frowned as he looked at the two of them. They were a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they really looked a good match standing together. But when he thought of the shameful things that Cheng Xiang had done with Zhou Zun behind Gong Yu's back, he just felt extremely disgusted.

"This is Ah Xiang, right? She's so pretty. Sit down and have some fruit. Auntie will cook the meal soon."

The aunt-in-law took Cheng Xiang's hand and sat aside to chat. It seemed that her heart and eyes were full of love for her future daughter-in-law.

"Ah Xiang, what do your parents do?"

If you want to marry into the palace, it is necessary to understand your family background. Only a marriage between people of equal status will be respected by the elders.

The blind dates that the aunt arranged for Gong Yu were all daughters of wealthy families. They were no worse than Cheng Xiang in terms of looks and figures, and their backgrounds were even more superior in all aspects.

However, Gong Yu only loves Cheng Xiang and says that he will not marry anyone else. Only then does Gong Chenxuan agree to let him bring the girl home for dinner and evaluate whether she is worthy of this door.

When talking about her parents' work, Cheng Xiang's expression changed, but soon returned to normal.

"Auntie, my parents..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, her eyes turned red and she bit her lower lip, as if she didn't want to say more.
