Rong Heting's words made her more uneasy. She was implying that Rong Heting couldn't hear the wedding, but he cleverly avoided that question.
Ting Lan was Rong Heting's mother, Lady Ya's personal daughter. Together with her sister Ting Ye, they were both women that Rong Family had picked out for Rong Heting.
Although these ancient traditions were not accepted in the modern era, such a thing was not uncommon among the top aristocratic families.
When Ling Jinghan thought about the situation with Ling Family, a mocking smile appeared on her face.
It was a good thing that Ting Lan and Luo Yu had a relationship a long time ago, it was also fortunate that her sister was too young, causing Heting to not think too much into it. Otherwise, these two would be the first problem she would have to deal with after marrying into Rong Family.
Originally, she said that she was happy with Ting Lan because she wanted to quickly get married to Rong Heting and get married into Rong Manor, but Rong Heting told her that Ting Lan could busy herself.
The meaning of being busy was that there was no need for a mistress in charge of internal affairs. Was he rejecting her?
Ling Jinghan's eyes shone with a dark light as she thought about Mu Qianqian who had settled into Rong Manor.
Was it because of Mu Qianqian? So Heting didn't want to be with her anymore?
But if he didn't care about her, would Rong Heting personally arrange such a grand birthday party for her?
As Rong Heting shifted his gaze, a few questions kept hitting Ling Jinghan's nerves. Ling Jinghan also followed the crowd's gaze with a slightly absent-minded look.
When Ling Jinghan saw the lady walking in from the door, she turned her head and looked at Rong Heting with an indifferent expression.
Ling Jinghan shook her head inwardly. However, when she realized that her body had also made slight movements, she hurriedly controlled her movements.
It must be because she was too worried. The dignified Young Master Di in Dongfeng, the head of an influential family in the Dragon Country, Rong Heting, would not act like he was looking at others because of a woman. She had truly overthought it.
After putting down the wine cup in her hand, Ling Jinghan adjusted the expression on her face and walked ahead of Rong Heting.
"Aunt Gui, why are you here? "I didn't hear my mother mention it at all before. Is this a surprise for me?"
The person who came was dressed in an exquisite dress that did not lose any of its aura. It was not a banquet dress, but the noble temperament and the etiquette that exuded from her body did not reveal her identity.
Although the guests at the dinner party didn't know her name, from the way Ling Jinghan intimately held her hand, they could guess the nobility of the person who was referred to as "Aunt Gui".
"You've risen by another year already, and yet you still don't know how to rein yourself in. You're still out there, don't you even need your looks? Be careful that I don't tell your mother! "
Aunt Gui's words sounded dissatisfied, but in fact, they were filled with affection. After a simple conversation with Ling Jinghan, Aunt Gui let go of Ling Jinghan's hand and walked towards Rong Heting, who was standing quietly in the corner, tasting his wine.
"Young Master Rong, my wife specifically asked me to thank Young Master Rong for his care and love for Jinghan. Jinghan has caused you quite a bit of trouble here, it's a good thing that you protected her. If you marry her in the future, you can rest assured."
Aunt Gui spoke very straightforwardly, the smile on her face never leaving it. She was polite, but there was also a distinct hint of probing.
Rong Heting understood and said, "It's my honor to meet Aunt Gui. Say hello to Mrs Wen."
"Young Master Rong is too polite. The Rong and Ling families were originally one family. Madam has watched you grow up, so she definitely doesn't like you being so distant from her."
When Aunt Gui saw that Rong Heting didn't directly answer her, she didn't show any reaction. She only followed Rong Heting and didn't dare to cross over.
Since she was working for Mrs Wen, she naturally knew just how ruthless and decisive this Rong Family's only young master was.
Anyone who angered Rong Heting, regardless of their status or power, would be disintegrated by him.
Rong Family's young master, who occasionally did not even care about the old man's face, was one of the few people she needed to worry about in the Charm City.
Thinking about her mission to come to Dongfeng City this time, she was even more afraid of offending Rong Heting. After all, Dongfeng City contained Rong Heting's most core strength.
Under Ling Jinghan's gaze, Rong Heting personally held a glass of wine for Aunt Gui. He smiled and did not refute her.
Aunt Gui saw that Rong Heting didn't feel dissatisfied with her arrival, so she turned around with a reassurance. Carrying Ling Jinghan, she walked to the side of the more than thirty richly dressed women who came with her.
"Well, this is the birthday present your mother wanted me to give you. I've helped you invite all of your good friends in Charm City to come over. Our Ling Family has sacrificed quite a bit just to accompany you for your birthday!"
Aunt Gui grumbled at the girls behind her as she smiled and held Ling Jinghan's hand.
Ling Jinghan excitedly hugged Aunt Gui's shoulders, showing a bit of coquettishness in front of all the guests.
"My mother and Aunt Gui doted on me the most. Thank you, mother. Thank you, Aunt Gui!"
After Ling Jinghan finished speaking, she waved to the attendant beside her, personally bringing cups to the girls who were thousands of miles away to celebrate their birthday. They were all the young mistresses from the Charm City Aristocrat Clan.
After obtaining such great benefits from the Ling Family, the gold coins all smiled as they received the wine cups and said their blessings to Ling Jinghan.
Only a few young ladies from aristocratic families who understood Ling Jinghan's personality felt their arms tremble as they accepted Ling Jinghan's glass of wine. They didn't even dare to glance at the man in the corner.
The death of Zhou Sitong and the downfall of the Zhou family had already spread throughout the entire Charm City. Even a powerful family like the Zhou family could be uprooted within a few days.
Before they came, they were warned by their family's elders that they must help Ling Jinghan spend her birthday, not to overestimate their capabilities and covet Young Master Rong. Most importantly, they must not bring trouble to their family's business.
Thinking of this, after receiving the wine cups, all the girls squeezed out the most perfect smiles, trying to let the host of today's banquet be in a good mood.
As the adopted daughter of the Ling Family, she had unexpectedly received the same treatment as her biological daughter. Just because her birthday and Ling Family were both lost, the young miss was selected on the same day in the orphanage and had obtained everything from then on.
With a noble identity, a lofty position, as well as the most outstanding man, the most sincere love of his parents, everything belonged to the adopted daughter of Ling Family.
