C178 Get in the Water

Shangguan Lingwan was not in the mood to interact with this unreliable Eldest Miss and Song Jin naturally could see it too so she took the initiative to step forward to smooth things over, "If the two of you want to reminisce about old times, why don't you go in?"

"That's true." Shangguan Lingwan nodded in cooperation, "Miss Ni Yan, please come in."

When they entered, Ni Yan did not have the mood to continue pestering Shangguan Lingwan. She had long been like a happy little bird that was able to familiarise herself with the nobles. Shangguan Lingwan, on the other hand, gave the gift that she and Shangguan Shaoze had prepared to Madam Song.

Madam Song looked very kind and kind. Her brows were somewhat similar to the children under her knees. Even the older middle-aged woman still retained her charm.

"Thank you." Madam Song took the gift and smiled at the two of them. "This is Miss Shangguan, right? Her looks are really iconic."

"Thank you for your praise, Madam." Shangguan Lingwan's eyes did not have the impetuousness of a young man, which made Madam Song admire him even more.

Previously, she knew that Soong Yan had become friends with the daughter of Shangguan family and Madam Song was not familiar with Shangguan Lingwan. Thus, she was more worried, afraid that she would suffer a loss. However, after seeing Shangguan Shaoze and seeing how courteous he was, she felt that her younger sister should not be that bad. Sure enough, he was extremely satisfied to see Shangguan Lingwan.

She sized up the young girl in front of her and her gaze landed on the skirt that Shangguan Lingwan was wearing. "This skirt is really beautiful. I have never seen it before."

Unlike the trends of young people, this dress was not outstanding but it would not be buried in the dust. No matter which age it was, it would be pleasing to the eyes.

"Yes, the designer designed it." Shangguan Lingwan said with a smile.

"Miss Shangguan looks good when she's born. She looks even better when she wears this dress." Madam Song was not stingy with her compliments. From her words, it could be seen that she was happy with Shangguan Lingwan. However, the guests she had to deal with were not just the Shangguan family. No matter how much Madam Song liked this girl, but still go entertain the others. Shangguan Lingwan also had no intention of being hit on by others. In the end, she walked out of the hall and prepared to take a break.

When she was in the studio previously, she saw a pond downstairs through the window. According to her memory, Shangguan Lingwan had indeed found it. The silvery moonlight shone on the calm pond, and a few goldfish fiddled with their tails. They were happily blowing bubbles.

The night was somewhat cold, and the cold wind lifted the hair by her ear.

"Miss Shangguan."

It was a familiar female voice. Shangguan Lingwan was really too familiar with her. She could recognize who it was without turning back. She turned her head and looked at the woman standing in the pavilion. "Miss Ling, I see you again."

Today was truly a good day to reminisce about old times.

Shangguan Lingwan had mixed feelings towards Ling Ruolan. Although she did not cause any substantial harm to her, Shangguan Lingwan still remembered the deranged things that Ling Ruolan had done in her heart.

It was better to avoid contact with this woman.

Shangguan Lingwan wanted to leave but was seen through by the other party. Ling Ruolan's long legs took a step and directly stopped her, "Miss Shangguan does not like me? So she left when she saw me?"

"Miss Ling said it was a joke." Shangguan Lingwan did not want to tear off all pretenses of cordiality when she was stopped. She squeezed out a formal smile, "But what is Miss Ling looking for me for?"

"I just want to find Miss Shangguan to reminisce about old times." Ling Ruolan smiled slightly and there was no trace of anything on her face. If she had not experienced those things, she was afraid that Shangguan Lingwan would really think that the other party was just kind enough to talk to her.

Shangguan Lingwan was very clear that there was no need to come to the palace for no reason, especially when it was a woman like Ling Ruolan who liked to be a demon.

"Is that so..." Shangguan Lingwan carefully maintained a distance from her, "So there is still room for discussion between us."

"If Miss Shangguan says so, I will be very sad!" Ling Ruolan revealed a depressed expression but her tone was teasing, "I sincerely want to be friends with Miss Shangguan."

If Shangguan Lingwan's new words were true, then it would really be a ghost. She raised her eyebrows but did not show her disdain, "That is my honor."

The two women chatted but the atmosphere was somewhat terrible.

"It seems that Miss Shangguan does not like me." Ling Ruolan also did not seem to be willing to continue pretending, "But to be honest, I also do not like Miss Shangguan. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, I am the real other half of him. But Miss Shangguan is in the middle of us. Although Miss Shangguan will think that I am self-righteous, if you are a bit more daring, you can go and ask someone else. Who doesn't think that you are the Mo between us?"

Shangguan Lingwan's expression suddenly became ugly but she did not get angry. She just looked at Ling Ruolan without saying a word.

" Miss Shangguan must not be angry. After all, I am only speaking the truth. " Ling Ruolan said, "Actually I still quite like Miss Shangguan's character. Unfortunately, our standpoints are different."

"Ling Ruolan, do you think that you are against me?" Shangguan Lingwan smiled. "Didn't you know that Yin Hanchuan and I have already broken up?"

Yes, they had broken up, but Ling Ruolan knew that even if it was like this, so what? Shangguan Lingwan was still the woman Yin Hanchuan missed!

Of course, Ling Ruolan would not say it out loud. This was simply a disgrace to her. "Miss Shangguan, I have no intention of opposing you, but you are forcing me."

After she said that, she jumped into the pool but was grabbed by a hand in time.

It was Shangguan Lingwan's hand. Her back was facing the light and her face was still smiling brightly. This smile made Ling Ruolan tremble in fear.

"Miss Ling, I am not a fool that you played with."

She said word by word, her teeth clear.

"If you want a hibiscus that comes out of the water, I don't mind fulfilling your wish."

"Huala -"

The cold liquid drilled into Ling Ruolan's nose without any preparation. She struggled to float out of the water and heard Shangguan Lingwan shouting, "Help! Quickly come and save her!"

Everything was somewhat unexpected and Ling Ruolan felt that there seemed to be something that was out of her calculations.

Shangguan Lingwan's shout very quickly attracted many people and caused quite a stir.

"Who fell into the water?"

Shangguan Lingwan hurriedly replied, "It's Miss Ling Ruolan. Quickly save her!"

Upon hearing that it was this important person, a few people jumped into the water to save Ling Ruolan.

Ling Ruolan's entire body was drenched. Fortunately, the material of her gown was not thin and did not appear to be exposed.

"Miss Ling, are you alright?"
