After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 451 Distant Relatives

The boat in front moved forward without hesitation, and the boat carrying Li Jingyi and her crew behind suddenly became quiet. No one had expected this to be the final result.

It was as if a few crows were flying through the air...

"Jingyi, look, I told you that you must have mistaken him. If it was really Mr. Bai, even if he didn't hear you calling him, he would have come over and said hello politely, and he wouldn't have just left like that. Ahem~~"

The person who spoke was a girl who usually got along well with Li Jingyi. Although she said that, if you looked closely, you could easily see a hint of mockery in the corner of her mouth.

"Haha, yes, yes, Jingyi, you must have seen it wrong."

"Yes, yes, I must have seen it wrong..."

Everyone was agreeing, but even though they were saying this,

But those with good eyesight had already seen that the boy on the boat was Bai Ningchuan's follower.

It's just that no one needs to argue with Li Jingyi at this time and offend her.

After all, they are indeed relatives, and they care about each other more than others. I could only cover my mouth and laugh secretly in my heart.

"Oh! Haha, maybe I really just saw it wrong. I think if my cousin saw me here, he would definitely come to me without hesitation.

After all, we have a deep family relationship, how could you ignore me like this?

Especially in a situation like today, I have shouted at the top of my lungs, but the ship still does not respond.

My cousin is definitely not on the boat."

Li Jingyi said it with certainty, but she still felt a little uncertain and uncomfortable.

Because if she looked closely at the people on the opposite boat, she always felt that some of them were from the Bai Mansion.

Others might not be able to recognize it, but she could still see it, otherwise she wouldn't have shouted so recklessly.

But as a rule of thumb, if you are somewhat familiar with each other, even if you are not particularly close, you would at least come forward and say hello politely.

But looking at the situation just now, it only proves that they are indeed not familiar with me.

I'd better wait until I get back and ask my cousin.

Li Jingyi tightly grasped the handkerchief in her hand to calm herself down and prove that she had indeed seen it wrong.

"Hey, it's not Mr. Bai, I'm so happy for nothing. I was thinking that Mr. Bai would come over and ask him for advice. Forget it, forget it, let's just go over and have a drink."

"Okay, let's go over and have a drink." said the man, who looked a little disappointed.

"Let's go over and eat something. It's too cold at the bow." The women also left one after another.

Today is a grand gathering in the capital, hosted by the son and daughter of the Dali Temple Minister. The purpose is to enable more children of officials in the capital to establish closer ties.

Of course, this party also has a threshold. It is assumed that children below the fifth rank will not be invited. Those present are all young men and women from noble families and children of officials.

Of course, such gatherings are also divided into factions.

People like Bai Ningchuan and Sun Xinyan never participate.

Normally, these aristocratic families have extremely strict requirements on etiquette and behavior, but at such a crowded and lively gathering, the atmosphere seems a lot more relaxed.

After all, such a large-scale gathering with so many people is rare, and everyone temporarily put aside the constraints of red tape and enjoyed this happy time to the fullest.

"Jingyi, let's go over and eat something. Although the wind by the lake is not that strong, it's already autumn and it's still a bit chilly. Be careful not to catch a cold." The speaker was the hostess of the banquet, Wang Qiuyan, the daughter of the Dali Temple Minister.

"No, thank you for your concern, sister. But I feel a little uncomfortable, so I'm going to rest first." Li Jingyi's face turned pale, and she didn't know if it was because she was angry or because she was really standing at the bow and blowing.

"Then I'll accompany you back." The woman who took the initiative to offer to accompany him back was the one Li Jingyi brought here specially today.

You know, the reason why she was able to appear on this occasion was entirely due to Li Jingyi's introduction and guidance.

If she dared to ignore Li Jingyi, this would be her only and last chance to attend such a gathering.

Not only that, from now on, she will probably no longer appear at any gatherings like this one organized by daughters of officials.

After all, in the circle of these children from aristocratic families, relationships and favors between each other are crucial.

Anyone who does not know how to cherish the opportunities and friendship given by others will inevitably be ruthlessly excluded, not to mention that she is outside this circle herself.

Therefore, no matter what, the woman knew very well that if she wanted to continue to integrate into this noble social circle, she must not offend Li Jingyi.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Zhu'er." After saying that, he put his hand on the hand of the girl named Zhu'er. Just as Zhu'er was about to support her, she saw that she treated her like a maid.

Even if there are many dissatisfactions in your heart, you cannot show it.

"Let me do it, you follow us behind. In case your young lady faints." Zhu'er said to the maid who was about to come over to support Li Jingyi.

"Yes, Miss Pearl."

Li Jingyi took out all the anger she had just suffered on Zhu'er.

Although she is not as good as Sun Xinyan, is she not as good as Zhu'er?

What else does this Pearl have besides a face?

What's the point of being good-looking? Aren't you still like a lapdog in front of her, trying desperately to fit into this circle?

If she hadn't given her this opportunity, she wouldn't even know where the door to this circle would open.

After Li Jingyi left, the remaining girls started talking.

"Hey, who is that girl? She's pretty."

"Shh, keep your voice down. If Li Jingyi hears you, she'll start arguing with you again."

"You want to argue with me? What's the logic? Didn't she bring this person here?"

"Hey, don't you know who that girl is?" Suddenly a girl said mysteriously.

"Do you know him?" Everyone turned their eyes to her.

"How would I know him? But I think Sister Wang must know him. Right, Sister Wang," the girl who spoke just now looked at Wang Qiuyan flatteringly, then took her arm affectionately.

"What are you asking about? She's just her distant cousin." Wang Qiuyan seemed to be saying something, but in fact she still looked down on her.

"But she does look pretty. I just don't know why she wants to join our party. Come on, girls, come on in, let's go get something hot."

Everyone left chatting and laughing. Those who didn't pay attention thought about eating more later; those who paid attention took Wang Qiuyan's words to heart.
