The Rong family's large manor has pavilions and towers of all kinds, with both ancient architecture and modern atmosphere, and is extremely luxurious.

This manor is a birthday gift from Rong Jin to Pei Yan for his 25th birthday. Today the banquet is full of guests, firstly to celebrate Pei Yan's birthday, and secondly because Rong Jin plans to formally announce his retirement at the banquet and hand over the Rong Group to Pei Yan.

Over the years, Rong Jin has never married. He adopted an orphan who is five years older than Pei Yan and named him Rong Ailing.

Today she was wearing a black long dress, looking elegant and graceful, just like the hostess of the Rong family, moving among the guests.

Lu Qingqing took Sheng Mingxi's arm and slowly walked into the manor, followed by Sheng Kaiqi, Xixi and Nuannuan.

Now Xixi and Nuannuan have both grown up into big girls. Among the two, Nuannuan looks like Lu Qingqing, while Xixi looks like Sheng Mingxi. One is quiet, while the other is lively, and their personalities are completely different.

Seeing this family of handsome men and beautiful women walking towards them, Rong Ailing hurriedly went up to greet them.

"Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, welcome to our home. Please come in." Rong Ailing greeted them warmly.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "Ailing is getting more and more beautiful."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cold snort from behind.

Lu Qingqing glanced back at Sheng Kaiqi, then looked at Sheng Mingxi beside her. The two of them were like twins now. Not only did they look alike, but their expressions were also very similar.

They came here to support Pei Yan today, but it was like they were here to collect debts.

"Cage, I heard there's a horse farm to the north of the manor. Why don't you go over there and see if Pei Yan is there?"

She regretted what she said because Xixi also clamored to ride a horse.

"Why would a girl like you ride a horse? What if you fall?" Lu Qingqin originally wanted to take Xixi to meet more people, but she is already grown up and still doesn't have a partner. As a mother, she is really anxious.

But it’s strange, her children are all excellent, but none of them even have a friend of the opposite sex. I don’t know what they are thinking.

"If she wants to go, just let her go." Sheng Mingxi pleaded, "With Cage, she will be fine."

Sheng Mingxi spoke, and Lu Qingqing had no choice but to nod.

So Huo Xixi followed Sheng Kaiqi happily, followed by Sheng Kaiqi's two bodyguards.

Rong Ailing approached and naturally took Huo Nuannuan's arm. "Nuannuan, the dress you are wearing today is really beautiful with the jewelry you are wearing."

Huo Nuannuan was actually not very familiar with Rong Ailing, they had only met a few times because of Pei Yan.

Nuannuan has a gentle personality and never shows her emotions, which is very similar to Sheng Mingxi.

"This is what my mother chose for me. If you like it, let my mother choose a suitable one for you some other day." She pulled her arm back intentionally or unintentionally. She was displeased by the undisguised envy and jealousy in Rong Ailing's eyes.

Rong Ai Ling hid the emotion in her eyes and said with a smile: "How can I feel embarrassed about this? If my father knew about this, he would say that I am ignorant."

Lu Qingqing watched Rong Ailing's every move and couldn't help but frown slightly, remembering that when Rong Jin brought her back from the orphanage, she was well-behaved and sensible, and was especially good at observing people's words and expressions.

At that time, she told Rong Jin that this little girl was not simple. Now it seems that Rong Ailing is indeed not simple. Not only that, she also saw ambition in her eyes.

Rong Ailing brought Sheng Mingxi's family to the banquet hall. Many people were already there, but as soon as they appeared, they undoubtedly became the focus of attention.

In particular, although Huo Nuannuan looks very much like Lu Qingqing, she has also absorbed the advantages of Sheng Mingxi's facial features, and has long been revered as a goddess in the aristocratic circle.

This not only made her surrounded by numerous suitors, but also aroused the jealousy of noble ladies.

"Mom and Dad, you're here?" Sheng Peiyan walked over. He was dressed in a gorgeous outfit today, standing out among the crowd of handsome men and beautiful women. It seems that the Sheng family has good genes, and any one of them is the most beautiful.

When Lu Qingqing saw her son's handsome and energetic face, her heart ached. If her Pei Ze was still alive, would he look like Pei Yan?

Sheng Mingxi saw what she was thinking and subconsciously put his arm around her shoulders, reminding her to pay attention to the occasion.

Lu Qingqing finally controlled her emotions and went over to hug Pei Yan. "Good son, your parents wish you a happy birthday."

At the same time, he gave him a birthday gift, which was the badge of the president of the White Bone Society, which meant that Sheng Mingxi intended to officially hand over the White Bone Society to him.

Sheng Peiyan was very excited. At the same time, this suddenly reminded him of his brother Sheng Peize. If he was still alive, this badge must be his.

"Mom, I've been dreaming about Pei Ze these past few days. I dreamed that he looked exactly like me. It seemed like we were in a very remote place. I talked to him, but he didn't seem to know me and asked me who I was."

"There's this?" Lu Qingqing knew that the twins had telepathy, and a glimmer of hope emerged in her heart. "What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, Mom. Don't think too much about it. It's just a dream." Pei Yan said.

On the other side of the racecourse, a girl in red was riding a horse and whipping it. Her long hair was blown by the wind, making her look heroic.

Just as the girl passed by Sheng Kaiqi, she whistled, which aroused Sheng Kaiqi's desire to win. He asked someone to bring a horse so that he could compete in horse racing with the girl.

"You can't catch up with me." The girl's riding skills were indeed great, and she left Sheng Kaiqi behind all the way.

Of course Sheng Kaiqi did not show any weakness. He did not believe that he could not beat a girl.

The two of them were chasing each other, and Xixi, who was watching from the sidelines, was frightened.

"Whose family is that girl from?" Xixi asked the people at the horse farm.

The people at the horse farm were also hesitant and couldn't explain the girl's origins.

Sheng Kaiqi became more and more courageous, and was about to catch up with the girl. At this moment, his horse was tripped by something and the horse quickly tilted forward. Seeing that Sheng Kaiqi was about to fall off the horse, the girl was quick-witted and grabbed Sheng Kaiqi's reins.

However, her strength was too weak, causing her to lose balance and fall off the horse. Sheng Kaiqi saw this and hurriedly pulled the girl, but they both fell off the horse.

Huo Xixi screamed, and saw two people hugging each other and rolling to the edge of the horse field. Sheng Kaiqi's two bodyguards immediately ran over.

Lin Manyi was riding on Sheng Kaiqi's body, looking at this cold man. She pouted and said, "Who asked you to chase me? If I fall to my death, will you be responsible?"

"Are you not going down yet?" Sheng Kaiqi's face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot. He had brought shame upon himself at home today.

Only then did Lin Manyi notice that the two people's postures were so ambiguous, and she quickly jumped down.

At this time, a man in his forties came over, pulled Lin Manyi up, and asked with a gloomy face: "What's going on?"

Lin Manyi was obviously afraid of men. She lowered her head and explained, "I accidentally fell off the horse, and that gentleman saved me."

She pointed at Sheng Kaiqi.

But Sheng Kaiqi stood up and was about to leave, as if he didn't see her.

"Stop!" the man stopped him, "I saw everything that happened just now. You must apologize to my fiancée."
