After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 126 - 90: Graduation Celebration Banquet

The hotel owned by Xia Xiqing is called Royal Courtyard International.

The reason Ning Youguang’s celebratory banquet is being held here today is the result of discussions between the Ning and Xia families.

Both the Ning and Xia families are well-known in Jincheng, with extensive connections. They simultaneously sent invitations to their family and friends, who, upon receiving them, happily assured that they would attend, while also finding it quite interesting.

Someone brought the invitation and told their family, "You see, even though the Ning family’s young master and the Xia family’s young lady have been divorced for a while and both have new families, the two families can still host a banquet together and entertain guests together."

The family was also puzzled, "Yeah, how is this banquet organized? Is it like a wedding, with one side for the groom and one side for the bride?"

It’s really hard to grasp.

...

Many received invitations in Jincheng and were puzzled.

Thus, after ten in the morning, guests started arriving at Royal Courtyard International one after another.

Today, Royal Courtyard International is not open to the public and only hosts the invited guests.

On this day, passersby saw countless luxury cars parked at the entrance of Royal Courtyard International, with elegantly dressed people stepping out, arm in arm as if walking a red carpet, into the hotel.

The Royal Courtyard International looked different from usual, and the guests only realized once inside that it held wonders within.

The entire interior of the hotel was newly decorated, with several noticeable banners that read:

"Congratulations to Ning Youguang for achieving the title of city’s top scorer in the liberal arts for the college entrance exam!"

"Congratulations to Ning Youguang of the second-grade experimental class for becoming the provincial top scorer in the college entrance exam!"

"Congratulations to Ning Youguang for achieving excellent results in this college entrance exam!"

"..."

Cheers!

Guests felt incredibly festive and jubilant while also appreciating their own wisdom and insight.

Because not only did they come themselves, but they also brought along their children or grandchildren who were still in school.

No kidding, a "top scorer banquet" isn’t something you get to attend every day, and since it’s hosted by the Ning and Xia families, it’s even more rare. This rare celebration is surely something they want their children to experience and benefit from.

Therefore, on this morning, hotel security, while greeting guests, frequently heard the attendees say the same thing:

"Let me tell you, when we see the young top scorer from the Ning family, make sure to greet them proactively, understood?" said the parents.

"Understood," replied the children.

...

The "top scorer banquet" officially began at 11:41 a.m.

With its luxurious and elegant decoration, the grand banquet hall of Royal Courtyard International could accommodate over a thousand people. Guests noticed the hall was filled with guests and festivities, exemplifying the wealth and influence of the Ning and Xia families in every detail of the banquet.

Above, the opulent crystal chandeliers on the ceiling refracted a dreamlike kaleidoscope of colors at every angle, making everyone under the light seem to glow.

But all this radiance couldn’t compare to the dazzling girl seated beside the Ning family’s elders, wearing a red evening gown.

Even though initially very few knew who the girl was, her position after the banquet started, sitting beside Ning Shizhao and Gu Xihuo, along with her exquisite beauty, was enough for people to guess that she must be the Ning family’s daughter, who had never been seen in public.

Most of the guests at the table recognized each other. Seeing this, they couldn’t help but exchange whispers.

They unanimously believed that today, the Ning and Xia families invited so many notables not just because these people were friends of theirs but likely also to introduce their granddaughter to members of their circle.

See how the entire Ning and Xia families were here, going all out, and showering attention on this girl like stars revolving around the moon.

This Ning family’s young daughter is indeed extraordinary.

Those with strategic minds, witnessing such a scene, quietly advised their young ones under the table to ensure they befriended the Ning family daughter and never slight her no matter the occasion.

The young ones nodded obediently on the surface, but most of them were rolling their eyes internally, "With the Ning family’s daughter looking like this, who could ever slight her?"

"You must have a misunderstanding about the world of superficial beauty lovers!"

After Ning Shizhao, as a senior, gave his opening speech, the lights in the banquet hall dimmed slightly, focusing on a central area where a lady in a white gown, with delicate features, was playing the harp.

The harp music, like soft cotton clouds and transparent and reflective fairy wings, floated in the hall, gently moving everyone’s hearts along with the melody.

As several rounds of wine were served, the attendees began their friendly socializing.

Many families, itching to act, planned to escort their younger generations to toast the Ning family elders, allowing their juniors to seize the opportunity to offer an olive branch to the Ning family’s young daughter.

"Ning Youguang, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?" Shi Tongyang, the eldest of the Shi family, was the first to extend the invitation to her.

As soon as he made the invitation, the young master of the Xu family, sitting not far from the hosts, quickly frowned, though nobody noticed.

"I’m sorry, my first dance is reserved for my father."

Subsequently, the guests saw the Ning family’s incredibly beautiful young daughter, smile softly as she politely declined Shi Tongyang’s invitation.

As soon as she said this, everyone also noticed her father by her side. Looking as youthful and handsome as her brother, Ning Shao looked even more charming with his smile.

With such a father, no wonder the daughter is so exceptionally beautiful.

Everyone couldn’t help but secretly praise.

Even after being turned down by the Ning girl, Shi Tongyang maintained his smile, appearing every bit the gentleman on his handsome face.

He then turned and, bent over with a smile, offered a gentlemanly bow to another beautiful young lady at the same table, extending a hand to her, "Please, old classmate, you wouldn’t turn me down, would you?"

Wearing an advanced custom-made black suit, Shi Tongyang, who usually looked a bit mischievous, now had an air of propriety. Plus, he was quite good-looking and the eldest of the Shi family.

Fang Han looked at Shi Tongyang’s hand with an elegant smile on her face, but she was actually feeling quite uncomfortable inside.

If Shi Tongyang had been the first to ask her for a dance, she likely would have happily accepted.

But he wasn’t.

He invited her only after being rejected by her cousin.

So, Fang Han said with a charming and coquettish smile, "I’m sorry, Shi Shao, I’ve already agreed with Brother Xu that my first dance will be with him." 1314
