Abandoned daughter of a wealthy family? The real daughter is making waves in Beijing!

The royal family dinner was held at the Platinum Palace in Country M.

Unlike ordinary family banquets, everyone does not need an invitation to enter and exit, but must be accompanied by a member of the royal family. Moreover, without the king's permission, guests cannot walk outside the main hall where they eat.

Although it was a family dinner, the whole party started in the afternoon.

Since the king will not be present in the afternoon, the young people will be the ones to attend.

The socialites' afternoon tea party is led by the royal princess and attended by other noble ladies or wealthy daughters. Only the top socialites in Country M can attend.

Therefore, this afternoon tea party is also known as the "Hermes" of afternoon tea.

Although Ruan Xingmian was invited by Henry, he is not considered a member of the royal family.

Therefore, she had to attend this event and obtain the princess's approval in order to be eligible to dine in the main hall in the evening.

"Qingqing, I'm sorry. I originally wanted to help you get a chance to attend the dinner directly in the evening, but it didn't work. My elders said that this is not in accordance with the rules, so you need to attend the afternoon tea party in the afternoon."

Henry felt very guilty for not being able to help her with this small favor, so he came to explain to her in person.

But he was worried that she would blame him, so he quickly said, "But don't worry, as long as you show up at the tea party this afternoon, I can take you to the dinner. As for the tea party, if you want to attend, attend. If you don't want to attend, send me a message and I will ask the driver to pick you up immediately."

Ruan Xingmian knew that this was the best solution he could think of.

So she didn't fight back and said directly: "I'm really not interested in the tea party. Please send someone to pick me up ten minutes after the tea party starts."

Henry breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she had no intention of blaming him.

"Okay, I'll send someone to pick you up when the time comes. My palace is nearby, so go and have a good rest. I'll come back later to pick you up for the dinner."

Ruan Xingmian nodded.

Henry remembered that she had been to Haizhou before, and couldn't help asking, "Did you encounter any trouble in Haizhou? I heard that things there have been a little bit of unrest recently, and the balance between the various forces seems to have been broken. Could this have anything to do with you?"

“Something, but not much.”

Henry was relieved after hearing this. "That's good. The commotion in Haizhou was too loud. The royal family was also alarmed and sent out elite forces to suppress it. My father also ordered a strict investigation of the matter. I was worried that it was related to you, but now it seems that there is no need to worry."

Ruan Xingmian suddenly looked at him, "Although there are many forces in Haizhou, there are not many forces that can really fight. Even if there is an internal fight, it won't alarm you, right?"

Unless someone from the royal family takes the initiative to intervene and wants to cover up something.

"I'm not very clear about this. I just heard my uncle mention this matter, so I asked a few questions casually."

Ruan Xingmian thought for a moment and then asked, "You have a good relationship with your uncle?"

"Of course." Henry nodded without hesitation. "My uncle has always loved us younger generations. Before, when I was in poor health after being poisoned by a snake, he worried about me a lot and found many nutritionists to take care of me. If he hadn't been so concerned, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

After hearing this, Ruan Xingmian said calmly, "So, you realized your uncle was good to you after you were poisoned by the snake?"

"What's your question? My uncle was very kind to us before. He always prepared gifts for us on our birthdays. Those gifts were all new things we had never seen before."

"Just a birthday?"

Henry felt that she was choking him on purpose, and when he wanted to defend himself, he found that he couldn't seem to find any better evidence.

But he reacted quickly and immediately realized another problem.

"Qingqing, why are you suddenly interested in my uncle? Have you found out something unfavorable about my uncle?"

"That's it."

When Henry heard this, his light green eyes suddenly darkened. "What's the matter? Can you tell me first? I'll ask my uncle to prepare in advance, so that he won't be beaten by the other party without any ability to fight back."

He waited for a while, but didn't get her answer. He turned around and met her cold eyes.

The last time she looked at herself like this was when she was poisoned by a snake and was dying.

My heart sank.

"Could it be that the unfavorable things about my uncle are related to you?"

Ruan Xingmian did not refute.

Henry's heart skipped a beat unconsciously, thinking of her going to Haizhou and the words she had just said to herself.

A bad association came to my mind.

"You're investigating my uncle! Could it be that the previous street assassination on Fifth Avenue and the roundup at the Chen family dinner last time were all related to my uncle..."

Ruan Xingmian knew how it felt to suddenly discover that someone close to you had another unfamiliar side, so she didn't laugh at him.

"It's got something to do with him."

Henry was shocked by this fact, and his whole mood became a little gloomy.

But this feeling didn't last long.

Soon, he cheered up.

He looked at Ruan Xingmian quietly, his light green eyes emitting a faint warmth in the sunlight.

After a moment, he said in a normal tone: "Qingqing, I believe you. From now on, as long as there is no chaos in the royal family, I will fully cooperate with you."

The pinnacle of power is an extremely lonely place.

But no one doesn't like heights.

He grew up in power struggles and knew better than anyone that human hearts are fickle.

His reaction was a little beyond Ruan Xingmian's expectations.

She thought he would need at least a few hours to digest this, but she didn't expect him to accept it so quickly.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Henry saw that she still didn't quite believe him, so he chuckled and said, "My upbringing means I can't be indecisive. What's more, you are my most trusted friend. I can entrust my life to you, so I naturally won't doubt you. I'll have someone keep an eye on my uncle, and we'll talk about the progress when we meet up later."

As he said, Ruan Xingmian naturally trusted him.

Although she is not as firm as him, she also trusts the people she employs.

"Okay, that's settled then."

……

Upon learning that her precious daughter was going to attend an afternoon tea party for the world's top socialites, Meng Yunxiu immediately started to get busy.

She personally selected everything including jewelry, dresses, hairstyles, shoes, bags, etc.

Make sure Ruan Xingmian will not be looked down upon by everyone.

"Mianmian, Mommy has picked out a lot of jewelry, but I didn't see anything that suits my eyes, so Mommy took out all the jewelry she had kept in the bottom of her box. Take a look, do you like it?"

Ruan Xingmian was replying to Jiang Yan's message. When he heard Meng Yunxiu's words, he looked up.

A necklace made of pure white pearls came into her sight.

The pendant of the necklace is a perfect crescent-shaped jade. The jade itself has a delicate texture and pure color, and reflects a soft light under natural light.

There is an otherworldly beauty.

She was fascinated at first sight and couldn't help but exclaim, "Mom, this necklace is so beautiful."

"That's it." Meng Yunxiu gently stroked the necklace. "This necklace was given to me by your father when we got married. It's called Moonlight Goddess. There's only one in the world. I've never had a chance to wear it. It's a good opportunity for you to wear it this time, so that everyone can see how beautiful my daughter is."
