Coincidentally, when they heard Meng Chuyuan mention this, the other noblewomen became interested in the gossip.
Third Auntie Zhao asked, “Why didn’t you want her to go?”
Although they often gathered together in private, they rarely mentioned their children. Now that they heard about it, they really wanted to know more.
“She’s already married. Shouldn’t she stay at home to take care of her husband and children?” At the mention of this, Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law seemed to be a little overwhelmed. She didn’t care about the situation at all and said, “She’s been married to Xiao Yi for more than a year, but her stomach hasn’t moved at all. The couple doesn’t even let me mention it at home. Whose problem do you think this is?”
She looked forward to having grandchildren every day. Ever since Liao Jiake married into the family, she had brewed a lot of Chinese medicine to nourish her body, but it had no effect.
At the same time, she hoped that Liao Jiake could stay at home and not show her face outside.
When Lin Youjuan heard this, she advised with her Buddhist attitude, “They’re still young. They might not want to have a child for the time being. Just let them be. When the time comes, they’ll have a child.”
Liao Jiake’s mother-in-law snorted and said sarcastically, “Of course your family isn’t in a hurry. Our Xu family is a normal family.”
Why would the Lu family care about these problems when they could even accommodate an abandoned woman?
There was no emotion in Meng Chuyuan’s eyes. She looked up. “Aunt Lan, do you mean that our family is abnormal?”
A performance stage was set up in the high-end banquet hall. The sound equipment was complete.
When all the guests gathered in the hall, the warm yellow wall lights were suddenly switched off and replaced with ambient lights. Meng Chuyuan and the others stood in the front row, closest to the stage.
This birthday banquet was also live-streamed online because of Liao Jiake’s presence.
At first, no one was watching the live-stream until Liao Jiake appeared in the middle of the stage. She sat beside the piano and placed her fair hands gently on the piano keys.
Then, Liao Jiake played a piano piece. Her slender fingers danced nimbly on the keys, and the entire venue was surrounded by her music.
[F*ck!! I randomly watched a live-stream and didn’t expect to see a female celebrity.]
[That’s Liao Jiake, right? She’s taking on a commercial performance in private?]
[Is this a birthday party? It feels so lively.]
[What a huge array. This shouldn’t be an ordinary birthday party, right? Judging from the renovation style of this house, it should be a private mansion.]
Halfway through the song, the live-stream camera suddenly zoomed out. The view of the shot became broader, and many guests were on camera.
Under the contrast of the ambient lights, the entire hall was lively and flickering. However, the audience soon saw the entire banquet hall.
The audience could tell at a glance that the house was decorated in a European style. They could see a large area of marble, expensive oil paintings hanging on the wall, and the decorations of today’s banquet. Flowers and balloons were embellished the halls, as if they were in a beautiful castle.
The camera slowly swept across the stage and moved to the guests below the stage. Then, it stopped at a corner.
Originally, the cameraman in charge of controlling the camera only wanted to take photos of tonight’s birthday girl, Madam Li. In the end, Meng Chuyuan was also captured and appeared in the live-stream with Madam Li.
Not long ago, Mrs. Li saw Lin Youjuan, so she took the initiative to walk over and greet her.
As it was Mrs. Li’s first time meeting Meng Chuyuan, the two of them started chatting as soon as they met. She did not expect to be caught by the camera.
Perhaps due to the influence of the ambient lights, the audience did not see Meng Chuyuan’s face clearly at first. Instead, they were attracted by her seemingly glowing gown.
A moment later, the rhythm of the flickering ambient lights slowed down in accordance with the piano music.
When the light swept over, it landed on Meng Chuyuan’s forehead and clearly illuminated her side profile.
She had thick and long eyelashes, a high nose bridge, and a few strands of hair on her cheeks. The blue light landed on her body, and her skin was so fair that it glowed.
[F*ck!!! What kind of event is this? I actually saw two beauties in one night.]
[Warning, a beauty has appeared!!!]
[In my short-sighted perspective, Mrs. Li was the most elegant person there. I didn’t expect Meng Chuyuan to not seem inferior at all standing beside her. In fact, she’s even better.]
[Wow, forgive me for not being able to think of any words. I can only say countless wows.]
Meng Chuyuan did not notice that the camera was on her. She turned around and chatted passionately with Mrs. Li. The dimples on her cheeks did not disappear. One could imagine how sweet her smile was without looking at her face..
