After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 471 - 367: Impossible to Ignore Her Presence
Ning Youguang and Zhuang Yijing had barely started their conversation when a group of elegantly dressed socialites interrupted them with polished smiles.
"Hello, Miss Zhuang."
"Long time no see, Miss Ning."
"Miss Ning, you are becoming more beautiful by the day."
"Miss Zhuang, is your dress from V? It’s really lovely."
"..."
Ning Youguang and Zhuang Yijing exchanged a glance, gathering their wits to handle the bevy of glamorously attired women.
After the formulaic opening remarks,
the socialites quickly revealed their purpose for approaching them—
"Our family is hosting a charity sale a week from now, and we hope that Miss Zhuang and Miss Ning can find the time to attend. I’ll have invitations sent to both of you later."
"Miss Ning, how long are you staying in Jincheng? In three days, my mother-in-law is hosting a New Year flower exhibition at our manor. If you’re not in a rush to leave, perhaps you can come over with Miss Zhuang to enjoy the flowers and tea."
"Miss Zhuang, six days from now is my birthday, and I’m throwing a big party at Yu Ting. Do come by if you have the time."
"Miss Ning, I heard that you also love small animals. Tomorrow happens to be the third birthday of my Coco. I’m hosting a birthday party at my house for her. She’s a corgi, a very adorable girl. If you’d like, you’re welcome to join us, and you can bring along your little one to play with Coco."
"Yes, indeed, Miss Ning, Miss Zhuang, Miss Li’s Coco is very smart, and we’ll all be bringing our pets over."
"..."
Ning Youguang, feeling dizzy from the expensive perfumes, merely smiled and declined them all with the same line, "Sorry, I’ll be heading back to Beijing in a couple of days. Enjoy your time!"
Meanwhile, Zhuang Yijing, sitting beside her, nodded with a smile regardless of who extended an invitation, "Sure, I’ll check my schedule, and I’ll come if I’m free."
Particularly perfunctory.
These socialites never actually expected Ning Youguang to join any of their events.
They approached with enthusiasm for two reasons;
First, to strengthen their relationship with Zhuang Yijing.
Second, to make a memorable impression in front of Miss Ning.
Although Zhuang Yijing wasn’t widely embraced in Jincheng’s elite circles due to her background, her achievements in the business world over the past couple of years had made her an unavoidable presence.
In Jincheng’s social events, any occasion she attended would naturally draw significant attention.
Let alone the fact that tonight, Ning Youguang sat beside her.
Everyone noticed her simple white gown, adorned only with a fine diamond necklace and matching earrings. Her face was exquisite and her makeup subtle, offering a serene elegance.
While there was nothing ostensibly "expensive" about her attire, she exuded an unmistakable aura of nobility.
Her every move carried an irresistible allure that stood out even in a crowd.
She’s someone impossible to overlook once encountered.
She possessed a face capable of captivating any crowd, yet strangely, people didn’t solely focus on it.
The reason being, beauty could certainly be a source of charisma, much like how they’d seen a beautiful heiress overshadow celebrities.
Attire could indeed enhance one’s presence.
But these were mere external "enhancements."
In everyday encounters, they’d also compliment appearances but quickly move on.
They knew too well that outer beauty could never overshadow a person’s true charisma.
Despite her beauty challenging the bounds of human aesthetics.
While looks are innate, her demeanor and aura were far more significant.
Zhuang Yijing was also beautiful, exuding a strong presence, yet when seated beside Ning, seemed slightly overshadowed.
It was evident to anyone with clear perception that she was no ordinary person.
Curiosity led them to swiftly uncover her identity—daughter of the Ning family.
A genuine blue-blooded lady.
Once Ning Youguang’s identity was revealed, everyone couldn’t help but sigh with admiration.
No wonder, even in silence, with a face that was both exquisite and serene, one wouldn’t perceive it as cold. Instead, they’d notice restraint and tranquility, exuding an air of having seen and done everything without contention.
"No wonder Zhuang Yijing holds her ground in the Kaicheng Group; her networking skills are indeed impressive."
Witnessing those who usually flocked around them turn to someone they’d typically overlook.
Seated beside Jin Jiayi, a young girl strikingly similar in appearance, with fair skin and elegant features, spoke to her.
"Don’t say anything." Glancing at Zhuang Yijing warmly embraced by a group of socialites, Jin Jiayi felt an indescribable complexity within.
"Say what?" the pretty girl, her niece—Jin SuYan, asked puzzledly.
"It’s just..." Jin Jiayi shook her head, slightly restless, "Who knew Miss Ning and she would be such close friends?"
"Indeed." Jin SuYan felt a slight discomfort as well, "Doesn’t Ning Youguang dislike socializing? Why is she here tonight?"
"The Xia family event coincided with her presence, so it’s not surprising she’d show up." Jin Jiayi could readily discern her niece’s sliver of jealousy towards Miss Ning.
She understood but felt it unnecessary.
Given her father’s current stature in Beijing, Miss Ning would never become a rival within SuYan’s circle. 1314
