At this moment, Tong Ling and Su Ning walked over.
Tong Ling saw the jade scepter in the box at a glance.
“Grandma, are you going to show the guests your collection today?” Tong Ling asked.
She remembered that her great-grandmother cherished this jade scepter very much and would usually not take it out to see others.
“No, I want to give this jade scepter to this young lady,” Old Madam Tong said.
Tong Ling’s mouth was wide open in surprise. This jade scepter was something the old lady usually couldn’t bear to take out to look at. How could she give it to someone who had nothing to do with her family?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSu Ning felt even more threatened. Old Madam Tong had always doted on her. Even so, she had only seen this jade scepter a few times, but why did she casually give it to this outsider?
She had long thought that she was the granddaughter-in-law that the old lady acknowledged. Why did Guo Miao suddenly appear? Could it be that the other party wanted to replace her?
Su Ning stared at Guo Miao. Guo Miao seemed to have sensed Su Ning’s unfriendly gaze and turned to look at her.
The girl’s eyes were like cold ice. In an instant, Su Ning felt fear rise from the bottom of her heart.
Guo Miao didn’t look like an ordinary person, and her temperament was somehow similar to Tong Pei’s.
Su Ning was even more shocked when she saw Tong Pei standing beside Guo Miao as if he was protecting her.
Sensing the unusual atmosphere, Su Ning quickly adjusted her expression and smiled gently. She said to Guo Miao, “We just met at the jewelry store in the capital. Do you remember?”
Guo Miao then turned her attention to Su Ning.
The incident at the jewelry store just now came back to her mind. This person had confronted her coldly earlier. Why was she being so gentle now?
“I’m Su Ning, a friend of Brother Tong Pei’s. This is Tong Ling, Brother Tong Pei’s niece. My parents are very close to Brother Tong Pei.”
These three sentences, which simply declared Su Ning’s territory, did not escape Tong Pei.
“Are you also a guest invited by Brother Tong Pei?” Su Ning said with a smile.
When Tong Pei heard that, he frowned slightly.
He probably knew how Su Ning was. He had heard his parents mention the engagement between the two of them, but he did not take it seriously.
After all, his marriage was definitely something he himself would decide.
“I don’t think this has anything to do with you, does it, Miss Su?” Tong Pei said in a cold tone.
“No, I’m just a little surprised that you actually know her. Is she a relative of a general who just arrived in the Beijing Military Region?” Su Ning felt the unfriendliness in Tong Pei’s tone, so she still asked gently with a smile.
“Miss Su, do you like to pry into other people’s privacy that much?” Tong Pei asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGuo Miao was just about to speak when Tong Pei refuted on her behalf. She swallowed the words that were already on the tip of her tongue.
She could feel the provocation in Su Ning’s words, but she did not understand why Su Ning was hostile to her.
Old Madam Tong, who was standing at the side, sized Su Ning up without batting an eyelid. She knew that Su Ning’s parents had always wanted to set up a marriage between Su Ning and Tong Pei.
Su Ning probably already assumed herself to be the Tong family’s granddaughter- in – law.
It wasn’t that Old Madam Tong didn’t like this marriage, but she had been through so much and had seen the matters of her children and grandchildren. She felt that it was better to let the children make their own decisions about marriage.
“Alright, Ningning, Miss Guo is my VIP. I asked Tong Pei to invite her over,” Old Madam Tong said.
This time, she invited Guo Miao to the birthday banquet because of Tong Xin.
Su Ning was surprised when she heard this.
For Guo Miao to be Old Madam Tong’s distinguished guest, she must be someone.
Old Madam Tong was now the person with the most weight in the Tong family. Old Madam Tong’s VIP was equivalent to the entire Tong family’s VIP.
How could this little girl who looked less than eighteen years old have such a valuable identity?
Tong Ling looked at Guo Miao in confusion.
“Alright, don’t pry into other people’s privacy..” Tong Pei coughed lightly, looked at Tong Ling, and asked, “Are the two of you here to celebrate Grandma’s birthday?”
