Rebirth Stories #1 (Book 1)

Chapter 191: Family Party

Before the joy of confirming their relationship faded, Murong Qiao received the news from home.

Winter had arrived, and the first snow had reminded Murong Chen that it was time for a family gathering.

Every winter, the Murong family would hold a family gathering as usual. At that time, many people would be invited to attend. It was also the grandest banquet of the year.

After Murong Qiao received the news, she applied for leave from the school. When she took the plane home, she saw that her Big Brother was already at home.

The house had undergone some changes. Many places had been decorated as a banquet venue. It was slightly gorgeous and solemn, but it did not lose its homeliness.

"You're back, Qiaoqiao." Murong Chen reached out to hug his Little Sister.

Murong Chen's attire was different from his usual attire. This time, he chose a dark blue suit which magnified his charisma. It made him look calm and elegant, the kind that many young ladies yearned for.

What was worth mentioning was that the cufflinks on his wrist today were still the pair of sapphires that Murong Qiao had given him.

The cufflinks that were slightly sparkling complemented Murong Chen's calmness, adding to his elegance.

"The banquet will be held in the front hall later. I'm sorry that 1 can't accompany and talk to you for long. I have to go to the front to greet everyone." Murong Chen frowned slightly and apologized to his Little Sister.

Normally, the banquet would not be so lively, but this year was different. After knowing that the daughter of the Murong family was back, many interested people arrived at the banquet early.

In fact, many people who had a good relationship with the Murong family had already started to think about how to obtain this daughter of the Murong family's hand in marriage to obtain immeasurable commercial value.

As the head of the family, Murong Chen naturally had to go out to socialize.

"Alright, I'll go look for Big Brother later." Murong Qiao nodded sensibly.

She said goodbye to Murong Chen and went to the second floor. Under the guidance of the makeup artist, she started to dress up.

This was also the first time she had appeared at the Murong family's official banquet so she was a little nervous.

"Young Miss Murong, don't be nervous. This gathering is mainly for family matters. It's fine to relax." Even the makeup artist could tell that Murong Qiao was nervous and comforted her softly.

The feeling of the light makeup brush brushing across her face made her feel a little ticklish.

"Also, I heard that Young Miss Murong's aunt is coming back this time," the makeup artist teased with a smile.

Family gatherings like the Murong Family had been going on for several years. The makeup artist who was dressing Murong Qiao up had also been in charge of makeup for the events for several years, so she was very familiar with this place.

Aunt?

This unfamiliar and blood-related address immediately diverted Murong Qiao's attention and she was puzzled.

But soon, Murong Qiao knew who her aunt was.

It was time for the banquet to begin. While Murong Chen was chatting with the guests in the front hall, he saw a woman in a black high-end gown slowly walk in.

She was elegant and otherworldly, with an aura that made ordinary people dare not approach. Just looking at her made people feel afraid.

"She's actually here this time? Didn't she say that she's holding a concert tour?"
