Moon was at the top of the tree and stars were scattered in the sky. Starlight at night blended with the bright lights of the castle.
Outside the luxurious castle, there were all kinds of luxurious cars. The Nangong family held a dinner party to welcome the former female count of their family.
Generally speaking, the people who attended the party were young people, but the people who came to the dinner tonight were all elders. They were all dignified figures in the C Island.
Even Mr. Qin, who didn't like parties, came with a pleasant face.
In the upper class, people would bond in every dinner party, especially the party held by Count Nangong. There were many big shots.
The elders would definitely bring their juniors here.
The elders were all fond of quietness, so they were arranged to sit comfortably in the room, and the younger generation stayed outside for fun.
There were swimming pool, fountain, wine and music, and people were all toasting to each other.
The party hadn't started yet. It was Mona's party tonight, and she had already greeted every elders in the hall with Michelle.
Michelle had a pure baby face. Even though she was 25 years old, people would not feel strange even if she dressed up as a high school student of seventeen or eighteen years old. His smile was sweet, showing her cute teeth. She was a delightful girl.
Wearing a beautiful princess dress, she looked like a lovely little princess, and her silver tongue delighted the elders a lot.
Mona stayed to greet her old friends and asked Michelle to make friends by herself.
When Michelle went out, she saw people around gathered together and talked about the female count curiously.
The younger generation were too young to know anything about the female count. They all listened to the elders' stories.
Mona became famous at a young age, but she then lost everything she had in her twenties. After the accident, she had to escape to another country. Later, her biological brother refused to talk about her stories in public and said that it would only rekindle some painful memories, so few people knew Mona's achievements and stories.
Even though they were all good friends of Mona, they had almost forgotten about Mona's old stories in their declining years. So when they told the younger generation about Mona's stories in their families, they could generally say that Mona was a brave female count who was not inferior to men at that time.
They told their children that Mona had helped the civilian a lot, and that they were all heavily indebted to her.
Therefore, although the younger generation gathered together, they didn't have much things to talk about. Someone suddenly shifted the topic to the granddaughter of the female count.
Although the elders didn't dare to talk about it, the younger generations dared to gossip about their peers.
The reason why Michelle came to C Island with her grandmother was that she wanted to marry Leon as the relative of the Nangong family. Then they would be barely equal in social status, and there would be less disputes.
Therefore, Michelle was not surprised that the news about her was spread out. She even stood aside and pricked up her ears to listen their conversation.
Everyone focused on the gossip and didn't notice Michelle.
"Mrs. Mona didn't bring her children here but take her granddaughter back to our country. Have you seen that girl? What kind of person is she?"
"No, I didn't."
"I'm also curious about the appearance of Mrs. Mona's granddaughter."
"They are also the relatives of the Nangong family. Why not ask them?" Someone smiled and looked at Addie and Leda who raised their glasses in the distance.
The girl raised her glass, smiled and greeted them in silence. Addie then whispered to the people next to her and walked over.
"Livia, long time no see."
"Long time no see, my old classmate." Livia Xu clinked glasses with Addie with a smile and introduced, "This is Addie, she came back not long ago and is the cousin of Count Nangong."
Michelle had not only heard of Addie, but also had used Addie and Leda's name to attend the party held by the Yin family with Caroline before.
With gratitude, Michelle favored Addie with a friendly smile.
Addie and Leda were seldom at home, so they didn't know many girls of noble families. They thought that since Michelle was able to attend the party held by Count Nangong, she must have a high status, so they also greeted Michelle with a smile politely.
Livia Xu asked, "Addie, there is another relative in the Nangong family. Have you seen her?"
