The next day, Mother Lu found out that her son was sick.

"Why did you suddenly catch a cold?"

Mother Lu looked at her son's pale face. His lips were dry, and his face was stiff. He looked extremely cold, but he was very sickly.

Mother Lu was a little anxious. Her son couldn't have fallen sick because of a breakup, right?

"I originally wanted you to go to Nancheng to attend the Family Ning reunion banquet in two days. Now that you're sick, you should rest well. I'll get your father to attend the banquet," Mother Lu said.

"Family Ning?"

"Yes, Master Ning recently found his granddaughter, and he's celebrating.

Since you're sick, don't rush around. You should rest well at home. "

Lu Jue's handsome face was pale, but his eyes were too dark. His gaze fell on the invitation in her hand. Looking at the golden word "Ning", he said, "I'll go."

"You'll go?"

Mother Lu didn't expect her son to take the initiative to attend the banquet. "But you're sick."

"I'm fine, it's just a small cold." Lu Jue's nasal voice was very strong. It didn't sound like a small cold at all.

Mother Lu looked at her son in confusion. "Alright, I'll get Doctor Jin to take a look at you later."

Lu Jue took the invitation from his mother. "Okay."

In Nancheng.

Without the person she hated in front of her, Ningzhi's life in Family Ning was very comfortable. Her little face was also rosy and she was becoming more and more beautiful.

"Miss, the invitation has been sent to the Lu family. The Lu family has also replied that they will attend on time," the butler reported.

The butler didn't know why his Miss had specially sent an invitation to the Lu family.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang."

Ningzhi originally wanted to ask the butler who would be attending the banquet from the Lu family and whether Lu Jue would be attending. But she didn't want to appear too deliberate, so she remained silent.

If the person attending the ceremony was not Lu Jue, she could only look for him. After all, she was still short of seven thousand little suns.

The butler was in charge of the banquet, so Ningzhi didn't have to worry about it at all. She accompanied Master Ning every day and chatted with him. She also made tea and coaxed him until he looked much better. His face was full of smiles every day.

Perhaps it was because he had been lonely for too long. Compared to his previous rigid, serious, and taciturn self, Master Ning was now much more talkative. He even talked about Ningzhi from time to time.

Beautiful clothes and extremely expensive jewelry were continuously sent to Ning Zhi. He only had one granddaughter, the little princess of the Ning family. Naturally, he had to hold her in the palm of his hand and dote on her.

On the day of the banquet, there were many guests present. Everyone had heard that Master Ning attached great importance to his granddaughter. He had almost officially announced that she was the successor of the Family Ning.

Ningzhi had already attended such a banquet last time. This time, she handled it even more skillfully.

She followed Master Ning to greet the guests. After two glasses of red wine, her face was already flushed.

"Miss Ning." The man was wearing a blue suit. He was tall and had a gentle and elegant face.

"Huo Xiaoyang?" Ningzhi was a little surprised to bump into him at the banquet.

Ever since she saved him, they hadn't touched face to face.

Ningzhi's gaze fell on his legs. His legs were very long. Huo Xiaoyang, who didn't need to sit in a wheelchair, was very tall. He was only a little shorter than Lu Jue.

"You know me?"

Huo Xiaoyang's handsome face was a little surprised. There was a smile at the corner of his mouth, which made him appear even more gentle and elegant.

Ningzhi's gaze fell on his face. He didn't seem to recognize her. She didn't know if Huo Xiaoyang didn't remember her because she had saved him a long time ago, or if his memory had been erased by the system.

"The Huo Family's reputation is out there. I've seen your photo in the news." Ningzhi smiled.

Huo Xiaoyang was silent for a moment. "Miss Ning, have we met somewhere before?" He looked at Ningzhi just now and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. It was as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Ningzhi smiled. "Maybe."

Under the lights, Ningzhi was wearing a nude pink gown. It complemented her snow-white skin. Her delicate and beautiful face had a faint blush. Her curved black eyes were smiling. It was very eye-catching.
