The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 147

Facing the scrutiny of these people, Rong Dai was calm and composed. Her manners were elegant and graceful. Standing by Huo Shao Ting's side, the two of them were like a beautiful scenic line.

After a round of greetings, Rong Dai felt a little tired. She saw people coming in succession, but the young aunt who was the hostess kept glancing outside the club from time to time.

Rong Dai knew what was on her mind. When Huo Shao Ting walked over, she asked in a low voice, "Is that person really not coming? I see Mei Shu has been waiting."

Huo Shao Ting followed her line of sight and frowned slightly, "Don't think too much about it, it's her own business."

Rong Dai had no choice but to nod.

Although she wanted to help the young aunt, this was after all a matter of her own feelings. If she interfered too much, it would be inappropriate.

She was just very curious what kind of person Gu Chengyan was exactly?

A young miss like Mei Shu, who was born with a silver spoon, could get whatever she wanted ever since she was young. The man who could make her yearn like this must not be the fool Shao Ting spoke of.

The music recital was also attended by the Lu brothers Yue and Hong, and Ji Zheng also came. These were all people Rong Dai knew.

Those who could come to this music recital were all people with deep ties to the Huo family.

Just as Rong Dai was looking around, she saw two familiar faces and was curious.

"Isn't that Shi Lao and Shi Ning?"

She had a deep impression of Jinxiu Store. She had looked it up online later and found out Jinxiu Store had a great reputation not only domestically, but also internationally.

Jinxiu Store had become a brand that could represent China. She also hoped that one day she could build her own brand in this field, so as not to waste her skills.

"Sister-in-law, did you forget? Last time Shi Lao said she knew Granny, so I asked Granny for her contact information."

"I really like Shi Lao's embroideries, it's just a pity that she doesn't produce any works now due to her old age."

"I sent her an invitation just to give it a try, I didn't expect the old lady to really come."

Her words just happened to be overheard by the young aunt. Huo Mei Shu explained to her right away.

Rong Dai nodded. That day at Jinxiu Store when they were shopping, she had seen Shi Lao's embroideries, which were indeed exquisite.

Moreover, Shi Lao was originally from this era. Her embroideries contained the elegance and refinement of traditional culture, while also incorporating some modern fashion elements. They were very classic.

She had also seen Shi Ning's works, which had Shi Lao's style, but lacked some of her own flair.

Just as she was observing Shi Lao and Shi Ning, her eyes happened to meet Shi Ning's.

Although it was only a few seconds, Shi Ning's eyes made her feel very puzzled.

Shi Ning seemed to have great hostility towards her.

"What's wrong?"

Huo Shao Ting noticed her mood and asked.

Rong Dai shook her head, "Nothing."

She really couldn't think of how she had offended Shi Ning. They had met only twice at most.

They couldn't even be considered acquaintances, so how could Shi Ning be hostile towards her?

Moreover, the hostility seemed very strange.

The recital began and she had no time to think more about it. She took Huo Shao Ting's arm and entered the music hall.

In her past life in the palace, there were also musicians who would play, but the effect was not as good as modern electronic equipment.

Since this was a private club, all the equipment used was the best, so the sound effect was very comfortable to listen to.

This was not the first time she had listened to the young aunt play.

But she was still concerned about the young aunt's musical accomplishments. At least in her opinion, it was comparable to those noble ladies in her past life who had practiced musical instruments diligently.

Rong Dai enjoyed it. Huo Shao Ting did not have much interest in these things, he just wanted to accompany Rong Dai here.

When a piece finished, there was applause from the audience, and occasional chatter.

Rong Dai and Huo Shao Ting held hands. Beside them sat Lu Zheng and Huo Shao Jie, with the family sitting in the front row.

Recently Rong Dai had been living a very comfortable life, thanks to Huo Shao Ting's pampering and trust, which made her more determined about the future.

Just as she was looking at the stage, her phone vibrated in her bag. She took it out and saw it was a text message from the young aunt.

Seeing the message, she frowned slightly, let go of Huo Shao Ting's hand, and whispered to her mother-in-law beside her.

Lu Zheng frowned, then got up from her seat and walked out.

"What's the matter?"

Huo Shao Ting looked at her with concern and asked.

"Gu Chengyan is here, but he's not coming in. He just wants Mei Shu to come out and see him for a bit. Mei Shu asked me to help play a piece for her. Is that okay?"

Rong Dai also didn't understand why Gu Chengyan had come but didn't enter.

The young aunt's piano skills were very good, she had at least practiced diligently for over ten years.

Huo Shao Ting stroked her delicate boneless hand.

"It's just one piece, not much trouble at all."

Rong Dai saw the stage had been empty for a long time. Those who were invited today all had close ties with the Huo family. Offending them would not affect the Huo family much, but it would certainly affect the young aunt's reputation.

Huo Shao Ting let go of her hand, looking at her with eyes full of delight and curiosity.

She was like a hidden treasure, revealing new surprises with every layer uncovered, astounding him at every moment.

Rong Dai walked up the steps.

Seeing Rong Dai go on stage, many people below were whispering to each other.

After all, recently Rong Dai's name had appeared most frequently in Shenjing's media.

Rong Dai sat elegantly and calmly in front of the piano, the spotlight shining on her slender graceful arms and beautiful figure.

She just sat there quietly, giving the audience the illusion of seeing a young lady from a traditional family sitting there.

Every move she made was elegant, calm yet refined, as if tempered by time, just looking at her side profile could make one feel peaceful inside.

It was a very strange feeling.

"Now I understand why you didn't marry any of those noble ladies, but insisted on being with this Rong Dai who is an ordinary person in the eyes of the nobility."

Sitting on the other side of Huo Shao Ting, Ji Zheng looked at Rong Dai under the spotlight, elegant as an orchid, and said with a smile.

"She has a quality that makes people feel comfortable and peaceful."

Huo Shao Ting ignored him, his gaze fixed on Rong Dai on stage.

Although Ji Zheng had spoken in a low voice, Shi Ning who was only one seat away could hear very clearly.

She looked up at Rong Dai on stage. If not for the incident at the mall, she might have appreciated this ordinary person of humble origins.

She glanced slightly at Huo Shao Ting. In her eyes was a hint of surprise.

It wasn't that she didn't know Huo Shao Ting. On the contrary, she had known him for a long time.

Although the Huo family and Ji family were not hereditary allies, the older generation were acquainted. She had met Huo Shao Ting before.

Her impression was that he had always been cold as ice. She had never seen him with a smile at the corner of his lips and such gentle eyes before.

For a moment, she felt something flutter across her heart, and her heart trembled slightly.
