Chapter 397: Prelude to Engagement

In the next few days, everyone was beating gongs and drums to prepare for the engagement ceremony, but Ling Zishan, the heroine of the engagement ceremony, was very idle, so idle that she lay on the bed in a daze again and again, and only sighed softly in her heart after rolling several laps, I have to admit that the impact of the engagement on her is still big

If it weren't for the elders mentioning it this year, Ling Zishan would never have even thought that she would be engaged before college started, or that Ling Zishan was still thinking about the wrong thing in her subconscious, and she had never completely integrated into the granddaughter of Fu Lao and the granddaughter of the two elders of the Rong family, and the inferiority complex she had cultivated since childhood still affected her thoughts to some extent

While Ling Zishan was thinking wildly, in another part of the city, a lonely figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with circles of white smoke blooming around him, cigarette butts on the ground were already piled up, and the strong smell of smoke spread in the uncirculated air indoors

"Let's prepare a gift for her" Childe kowtowed his eyes, hiding the loneliness in his eyes, the girl he didn't even have time to confess had become someone else's fiancée

"Yes" Gu Quan replied and left, leaving Gongzi alone in the room again

In the old house of the Ning family, a courier marking foreign mail was delivered to Ning Xuan's hands, looking at the name of the recipient on the courier list, Ning Xuan was obviously stunned, and then took it and went upstairs

"Your courier" Ning Xuan pushed the door in

"What courier?" Ling Zishan took it in confusion, her eyes full of puzzlement

"yes, it's still overseas, what you bought? Or did the big brother buy it? Ning Xuan curiously took the courier and studied, and the English LOGO on the courier made both of them very puzzled

"Why don't you let Brother Yuqian come back and watch it again, what if it's his? I haven't bought a courier..."Ling Zishan's suggestion was agreed by Ning Xuan

"Then I'll do it, wait for him, by the way, my brother asked me to take you to try on the dress" No longer entangled in the issue of express delivery, Ning Xuan remembered Ning Yuqian's instructions, so he mentioned it

"Good"

Ling Zishan got up and got out of bed, and after changing her clothes, she and Ning Xuan went out, and when they passed by the living room, several elders were there, greeting them one by one, and Ling Zishan could clearly see that everyone's faces were full of joy that could not be concealed

"Shanshan, come on," Old Madam Rong beckoned Ling Zishan to let them go

"What's the matter, grandma?" Ling Zishan walked to them suspiciously, and looked down to see a guest list estimated to be several meters long written on a piece of paper, so many names suddenly made Ling Zishan slide a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead

So many people! Doesn't it mean just inviting some people you know and have a good relationship with? There are thousands of people here, right?

"Look, do you want to invite someone from the Ling family to come?" Old Madam Rong asked worriedly, carefully observing Ling Zishan's expression

Old Madam Rong's words made Ling Zishan stunned, the corners of her mouth gradually pursed without saying a word, and the quiet and heavy atmosphere flowed in the living room, making Old Madam Rong regret very much why she asked such a question? I knew before that Ling Zishan didn't want to see the Ling family, didn't she block her at this moment?

"Forget it, don't invite me, anyway, the engagement ceremony is just to invite some people close to me to have a meal" Old Madam Ning felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and hurriedly said as if she was remedy, "Xuanxuan, you should take Shanshan to try on the dress, otherwise it will be too late, Yuqian should be worried."
