Chapter 330: Private party
After struggling for a long time, Shen Jingjing finally chose a simple and atmospheric black silk long dress. The fabric was soft and smooth, and the cut was also very exquisite, revealing her figure advantages without doubt.
The Bulgari matching red diamond top luxury jewelry set was put on, instantly making the styling more complete.
Picking up the Chanel swan egg handbag on the side, she looked at herself in the mirror. Looking at the bright, shiny, and brand-new self in the mirror, Shen Jingjing was in a trance for a moment.
Usually, she was used to simplicity and comfort because it was convenient for doing things.
Occasionally dressing up was just light makeup, never having carefully matched a whole set of high-end and exquisite styling like today.
Most of these famous outfits her daughter bought for her didn't even have the tags removed, but at this moment, looking in the mirror, Shen Jingjing had a dreamlike feeling.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Yoda heard the sound, jumped off the sofa, and ran toward the entrance wagging its tail.
Shen Jingjing regained her senses and followed. When the door opened, it was Deng Xiwen!
"Oh my god, Jingjing, you are too beautiful today!" Deng Xiwen couldn't help but shout at the first glance, issuing a heartfelt exclamation.
Her gaze was full of amazement, looking Shen Jingjing up and down several times: "Too beautiful, did you match it yourself?"
Shen Jingjing was a bit embarrassed by the other party's reaction and nodded with a smile.
The perception and capture of beauty seemed to be innate. She rarely made mistakes in dressing up.
Black long dress embellished with red diamond jewelry, black and red contrast is a classic that never goes out of style, especially her naturally snow-white skin. The black and red colors on her body looked even more dazzling and enchanting, making people unable to look away.
"Afraid of losing face for you, so I specially dressed up carefully."
Deng Xiwen nodded with satisfaction: "Really beautiful, Jingjing, you should dress up more in the future. It's a pity to waste such a good foundation!"
The wind was cool at night, so Shen Jingjing still put on a fur coat when going out.
On the way, the two sat in the back seat of the same car, and Deng Xiwen chatted with Shen Jingjing about tonight's private party.
"The Pei family can be considered a celebrity in Longcheng. Today's private banquet was hosted by Mrs. Pei. Sister Moru is a good sister of mine for many years. She doesn't like others calling her Mrs. Pei, so we all call her Sister Moru."
Shen Jingjing nodded in understanding, the whole person still looking a bit cautious and uneasy.
Seeing this, Deng Xiwen patted her hand and comforted her with a smile: "You don't need to be nervous. With your outfit today, standing there, no one will look down on you."
"I'm still okay, maybe it's the first time, so I'll be a bit at a loss."
"Everything has a first time. In the future, I will take you to more such banquets when there is an opportunity, so you can know more friends."
"Thank you for taking such good care of me." Shen Jingjing looked at Deng Xiwen gratefully and thanked her.
Deng Xiwen smiled upon hearing this, turned to look at the driver's seat and said: "Old Jiang, thank you for having to wait outside for a few hours."
"It's okay, Madam."
The car drove all the way to the hillside outside the city in the suburbs. The Pei family's mansion was hidden in a piece of lush green.
Several luxury cars were already parked in the open space in front of the main entrance, but it was not the noisy, bustling, and crowded guests as expected.
"Today's banquet is relatively private, so there are not many people. But don't worry, I greeted Sister Moru in advance." Deng Xiwen explained softly.
After entering the manor, the butler led them from the quiet path to the main villa. The field of vision suddenly opened up. The villa was brightly lit, and the garden was also carefully decorated and bright.
"Please, two madams."
After the butler led the two into the room, he turned and retreated. Laughter and talk came faintly from the living room, but Shen Jingjing was not nervous at this time.
Just as she followed Deng Xiwen into the main hall, someone with sharp eyes caught sight of them.
"Mrs. Gu is here!"
The people who were originally sitting on the sofa stood up to welcome them. Shen Jingjing inadvertently looked around and found that there was only this group of people gathered at the sofa in the huge living room, adding up to no more than seven or eight people.
And they were all noble ladies, not a single man.
"Mrs. Li, Mrs. Xiang..."
"Long time no see, Mrs. Qi..."
Deng Xiwen first greeted these people one by one, and finally looked at Chen Moru in the middle: "Sister Moru."
Chen Moru was about fifty years old, but she was also very well-maintained. She wore a dark green satin cheongsam, matched with moon-white pearl necklaces and earrings, the whole person showing the charm and atmospheric elegance of an oriental beauty.
Only to see her first smile and nod to Deng Xiwen, and then her gaze fell on Shen Jingjing beside her.
The others naturally couldn't ignore Shen Jingjing, and they all looked at her curiously.
"Xiwen, is this your friend?" Chen Moru asked indifferently.
Deng Xiwen took Shen Jingjing's hand and introduced her to everyone: "Let me introduce to everyone, this is Shen Jingjing, my friend. Because she just arrived in Longcheng, I thought about bringing her out to get to know everyone."
Shen Jingjing smiled at everyone, and then looked at Chen Moru and opened her mouth: "Sister Moru."
"Welcome."
Chen Moru said as she raised her hand to greet everyone to sit down: "The banquet will be ready soon. Today, just us old sisters are gathering. Everyone don't be restrained, anyway, there are no men watching us."
A sentence caused everyone to laugh out loud.
Shen Jingjing looked at Chen Moru curiously. She had a powerful aura that was natural, and she didn't expect her to say such a playful joke.
Deng Xiwen seemed afraid that Shen Jingjing wouldn't be able to integrate, so after sitting down, she pulled her to get to know these ladies one by one.
They were all wives and ladies of famous families in Longcheng. Perhaps because of Deng Xiwen's relationship, although these people's gazes toward Shen Jingjing had a sense of exploration, they were still polite and friendly on the surface.
"Is your name the sparkling Jingjing?"
Mrs. Qi looked at Shen Jingjing and took the initiative to speak.
Shen Jingjing shook her head lightly and explained: "It's the Jingjing with the grass radical and a Qing character."
Chen Moru asked curiously: "Is your accent from Shengang?"
"I am from Funan, I have just lived in Shengang all along, maybe the accent has been assimilated."
"Funan?" Chen Moru nodded lightly and couldn't help but say: "I went there once after the New Year. The branch company established there just started operating after the New Year."
Shen Jingjing was slightly stunned upon hearing this: "Sister Moru, you opened a company yourself?"
Chen Moru tilted her head and raised her eyebrows. There was a small pride in her eyes that couldn't be hidden, and that expression was also a bit cute.
Then she heard Deng Xiwen on the side say: "Sister Moru's own company is not smaller than the one Chairman Pei runs, it has been listed for many years!"
Someone followed up: "I also want to do something I like like Sister Moru, but unfortunately I don't have Sister Moru's smart brain and wrist."
"Yes, I really admire Sister Moru, but more of it is envy. Having your own ideas and career, no matter when, your waist is hard."
