Chapter 1423 - Nuannuan Was Fooled

Nuannuan looked at the stones in the courtyard with interest. The more she looked at them, the more she found them interesting.
Although Nangong Nuannuan had kept a low profile when she came in, everyone who came to attend the Xu family's banquet was dressed very formally. The men were all wearing military uniforms. As for anyone who was not in the military, they were clad in formal suits, while women wore gowns.
The courtyard was surrounded by fire pits. Even though they were outdoors, the fire pits' presence raised the temperature from zero to about ten degrees. Therefore, the socialites and ladies would not feel cold in their long-sleeved outfits.
As for Nuannuan, for the convenience of carrying out acupuncture on Feng Shengxuan, she tied her hair in a high bun. She wore a loose baby blue turtleneck sweater, a white down jacket, a pair of knee-length jeans, and a pair of black and white boots from Dr. Martens. Even though she was covered in an outfit with garments from the top-tier international brands, she looked very casual and ordinary—a stark contrast to everyone else.
Moreover, Nangong Nuannuan was stunningly beautiful. The second everyone entered through the gates, she attracted the attention of many guests in the courtyard.
Everyone turned to look at Nangong Nuannuan. Some of the young officers even started to ask her who she was and whether she had a boyfriend.
Nuannuan felt everyone's gaze on her immediately. Some were stunned, some were friendly, some were filled with despise, while some were hostile.
Nuannuan could not help but lament how wronged she felt.
Yesterday, she had made it a point to ask Grandpa Chi if she needed to wear formal clothes to attend this banquet. If it was, she would wear a formal gown.
Who knew that Grandpa Chi and Big Brother Chi Yang would tell her that it was just a normal family banquet, and it was fine as long as she did not wear pajamas?
What she did not know was that it was supposed to be a formal banquet today. However, in the auction that they previously attended, even though Nuannuan had only worn her most conservative-looking gown, Chi Yang had gotten a nosebleed. It had taken her a long time to leave the house, and the Chi family's grandfather and grandson had tacitly crossed out the possibility of letting Nuannuan wear a gown.
Therefore, when Nuannuan asked if she should wear a gown, the grandfather and grandson both lied without any prior agreement.
Especially Chi Yang.
He needed to show up at the special forces first, and he did not know if he could make it in time. Moreover, there would definitely be many young officers at the Xu family's banquet, so Chi Yang did not want his wife to wear a gown that could please those idiots' eyes.
She secretly glanced at the suave-looking officers and well-dressed ladies in the courtyard. She felt like she had been fooled.
However, since it was Big Brother Chi Yang and Grandpa Chi who had tricked her, she could do nothing but give in.
A few of the second lieutenants were stunned when they saw Nuannuan. She was so beautiful that she was even more dazzling than the rainbow. It would be great if she could fall for one of them, but if she did not, it would still be nice to befriend her!
Several young and promising officers stepped forward toward Nuannuan.
Just as they were about to strike up a conversation, a woman's shrill voice rang from behind them.
"Zhong Nuannuan, you shameless woman. Why are you here at Elder Xu's banquet? Chi Yang won't be coming today because he has something to attend to. Don't tell me that you've cheated on Chi Yang with another man again and that's why you have the chance to attend Elder Xu's banquet?"
The woman's shrill voice attracted the attention of all the guests.
When everyone turned to look at her, they saw her striding towards the door.
