Chapter 309: Full-Month Banquet
Ling Feng did not speak, waiting for his mother to continue.
He had a premonition that no matter how his mother circled around, she would definitely circle back to him.
Sure enough, Ling Mu said: "Actually, it is true that marriage emphasizes being well-matched in social status. Two people together must stand on the same level, in every aspect; otherwise, there will be huge problems in communication later on. Ling Feng, do not underestimate the greed of people from the lower class. If you marry the Mou family girl, the people behind her will definitely be bloodsuckers who will come to you endlessly to demand things."
Ling Feng was somewhat impatient: "I know."
"Feng'er, you must seriously consider what Mom said."
"I know."
"Actually, that PhD student Mom introduced to you last time was quite good. She had a very good impression of you. I had a meal with them a few days ago, and she was still thinking of you."
"Mom, I'm going to work."
"Feng'er, you..."
Ling Feng could no longer be called back.
Mou Lili received the performance video sent by the Top Ten Singers Competition; the video had been professionally edited, and the sound quality and everything else were quite good.
She processed it slightly and then posted this video to her video channel.
She did not blur her face or the children's faces.
In any case, there was nothing left to hide; if she wanted to be a singer, she had to show her face.
Half an hour later, the number of comments on the video channel exceeded one thousand.
【Wow, I used to see you always wearing a mask and thought you were ugly. I didn't expect you to be such a great beauty!】
【Finally showing your face. The young lady is really good-looking, and her temperament is also very good.】
【This looks like a beautiful girl from an ethnic minority, and the children are also so cute.】
Seeing that most of the comments were complimentary, Mou Lili felt relieved.
Of course, there were also a small number of people who felt the singing was not good, the person was not pretty, and that she was using ethnic minority children to hype herself up, but these voices were a minority after all, so it was best to ignore them.
After posting the video, Mou Lili went to the recording studio again.
Qiu Ge seemed quite happy to see her return.
"You went to Gui Province and came back looking so spirited and pretty. Could it be that you had a romantic encounter over there?"
Mou Lili laughed: "What romantic encounter? You're talking nonsense."
Qiu Ge said again: "You are becoming more and more popular in our circle now. Everyone has been discussing you lately, and many people want you to go on shows."
Mou Lili said: "I'm this ugly, what kind of show could I go on?"
"You're ugly? If you're ugly, then who dares to say they are pretty? Don't belittle yourself. I dare say, if you go on a variety show, you will definitely become a hit."
Mou Lili asked: "So certain?"
"I've been in this circle for a long time and have long seen through it. Small fame relies on promotion, but great fame relies on destiny. You are the type destined to be popular; there is a kind of unfathomable, unconstrained feeling about you."
"What kind of strange feeling is that?" Mou Lili laughed.
"It's something many top-tier celebrities have: unconstrained, unrestrained, loving to wander, not liking to socialize, and preferring to live in their own comfort zone. For example, so-and-so Fei, so-and-so Ying, so-and-so Shu."
"Please stop talking. Comparing me to these people is really doing me a disservice."
Mou Lili was here today to record songs; she wanted to professionally polish all the songs she wrote in Baoshan County. Once these songs were put on music platforms, she could earn money from clicks.
Thus, for the past few days, she had been soaking in the recording studio.
Other musicians also came to the recording studio, sometimes introducing themselves to each other and exchanging business cards.
When Mou Lili was leaving, Qiu Ge said to her again: "You really should go on shows and expose yourself. Once your fame grows, the songs you write can be recognized by more people."
Mou Lili laughed: "Alright, then I'll pick carefully another day and see which show is suitable."
Just as Mou Lili returned home, she received a call from Ling Feng, asking her to attend Han Yangting's full-month banquet with him.
Mou Lili asked: "Ling Feng, are you sure you want me to attend with you?"
"Sure, why else would I call you?"
"This kind of occasion is not a small-scale one. Before, you asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend to attend Bai Shunan's wedding, which was justifiable because few people there knew you, but this time it is the full-month banquet for Han Yangting's son. Everyone coming is a person of status. If I go with you like this, wouldn't people in your circle misunderstand?"
Ling Feng said indifferently: "It's not that serious; it's just finding a companion to go eat a meal. Besides, you haven't seen Bai Shuruo for a long time, have you? She also likes you quite a bit and always says you are an interesting girl."
"Alright, then I'll go. I also haven't been to their big Manor to take a look in a long time; I'll just treat it as a sightseeing trip."
The full-month banquet for Han Yangting's son was naturally held grandly.
The big Manor was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and everywhere was hung with cartoon canvases and cars, even more dreamlike than Disney.
Tables were set up on the big lawn of the Manor, with rectangular tables and large round tables, all covered with food.
As guests arrived, they could choose the tables they liked, talk in groups, or chat in twos and threes at small tables; in short, it was a unique full-month banquet.
Bai Shuruo also pushed the baby out.
Having finished her month of postpartum confinement, she was not only not fat but even fairer.
For this past month, the postpartum meals at home had been the most scientifically nutritious combinations, not causing weight gain while ensuring a constant supply of breast milk.
As soon as she came out, many people went up to see the baby.
But the carriage was modified and had a membrane, so they could only look from a distance to avoid the spread of viruses.
Bai Shuruo saw many acquaintances and also many half-acquaintances, but she handled it with grace.
In the crowd, she also saw Nana and Meng Ze beside Nana.
Nana held Meng Ze's arm and walked toward them.
"Sister Ruoruo, your son is so cute, he really looks like Brother Ting," Nana said.
Bai Shuruo said: "All babies are cute. When are you two going to have one?"
"We should be soon, too." Nana linked her arm with Meng Ze's, looking very sweet.
"Soon, when is that?" Bai Shuruo asked again.
Nana said, "Meng Ze's business has expanded now; let's talk about it after he finishes this busy period. Besides, I'm still young, so there's no rush to get married."
"Mm, it's good to play for a few more years; taking care of children is very tiring."
Xiaofeng also came out, and she appeared very happy to see Meng Ze.
"Daddy Meng Ze!" Xiaofeng lunged out.
Meng Ze scooped Xiaofeng up and spun her around in the air, "Oh, Xiaofeng has grown taller and fatter; Uncle Meng Ze almost couldn't carry you."
Meng Ze specifically corrected Xiaofeng, not letting her call him that randomly to avoid others misunderstanding.
"Uncle Meng Ze, why haven't you come to see me for so long?" Xiaofeng asked.
"Uncle Meng Ze is doing big business and making big money."
"Wow, then can you buy a car?"
"Yes!"
"When you buy a car, take Xiaofeng for a ride."
"Deal!"
Watching the happy appearance of these two, Bai Shuruo couldn't help but smile.
It had been such a long time, and Meng Ze had not contacted her even once; he must have truly let her go. Looking at Nana's daily social media posts, Meng Ze was very warm and romantic, always sending red envelopes of 5201314 on holidays and festivals.
