Chapter 35: Can You Go Back?
Stepping into the ballroom, there are eight tables next to it, arranged in order, and an old man in good spirits sits in the main seat.
This was the second time she had attended the Ling family's banquet, but she was still inevitably afraid.
Here, just like the door of the mansion, the rules are clear, the generations are clear, and the seating order is clear.
And against the backdrop of so many gorgeous clothes, the two of them wearing school uniforms are particularly obvious.
Those young Ling family members cast contemptuous glances one after another.
Fortunately, there were a few juniors around the old man who accompanied him to talk, and he didn't notice the two who entered the door quietly.
Seeing them, Ling Mu left the table and hurried over, pulling the two of them with one hand on the left and right and hurriedly walked out, around the corner, avoiding the sight of others, she lowered her voice, "Yaoxi, why don't you change your clothes!"
"Look what kind of clothes you're wearing......
As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Tao Xiaozhen's face, and her voice was a little lower, "Although she looks a little good, she can't mess around, and she doesn't look at what kind of occasion this is!"
Ling Yaoxi looked indifferent, "It's too late to change." ”
Ling's mother was so angry that her teeth itched, and she stood on tiptoe and pinched his face, pinched a piece of soft flesh on her cheek and twisted it.
The handsome face hidden under the large-rimmed glasses was distorted like this.
"Look at your dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, we are in the Ling family now, we have to abide by the rules, do you understand?"
This vocabulary ......
Why would a noble wife like Ling's mother use such down-to-earth words?
Wait, is this the first time she's met the solemn and majestic Ling Mu? Isn't it the same person she's seen twice?
"Go quickly, change your clothes, and greet the elders, now at this time, it's not that you can be willful, no matter how hungry you are, you still have to understand this bit of etiquette. ”
Ling Yaoxi was taken by the waiter to change clothes, and Ling's mother personally took Tao Xiaozhen to the dressing room.
"You are also everyone's daughter, you shouldn't be afraid on this occasion, but you must pay attention to proportion, what they ask, you just need to um, oh, okay, just answer it simply......"
"Also, when they asked about Yao Xi, don't reveal too much, this group of vampires can't wait for everyone to suck the Ling family's blood dry......"
Along the way, Ling Mu kept thinking about the things that needed to be paid attention to at the banquet.
Tao Xiaozhen has indeed participated in many such large-scale banquets, but they are all guest banquets, she only needs to smile and nod beside her father, and this family banquet, he is really the first time to participate.
"Your family background is relatively simple, and I don't want you to be harassed like this, just pretend to be deaf and dumb, and when it's time for the banquet, I'll find an excuse to let you go. ”
After a little hesitation, Tao Xiaozhen bit his lip, lowered his voice and asked, "Can you only swallow your anger?"
As soon as these words came out, Ling Mu paused, looked at her sideways, and her eyes were a little complicated.
"Can't you?" Tao Xiaozhen blinked.
"Haha, why not, of course you can, little girl, you are very good, I am optimistic about you. As she spoke, Mother Ling patted her on the shoulder meaningfully.
Why is there really such a big difference between the current Ling Mu and the last time we met?
Full of thoughts, Tao Xiaozhen secretly rubbed in his heart and poked Ling Yaoxi a few times, this guy just pulled her into the water!
The two met again in the front hall, and at this time, Ling Yaoxi had already changed into a straight suit, and his whole person was completely new.
Under the leadership of Ling's mother, the two of them greeted and toasted the elders one by one.
Eight tables, half an hour after asking one by one.
Damn it!
Ling Yaoxi is actually the youngest junior in the family.
By the time he sat down, Tao Xiaozhen was already hungry, but found that the others had already eaten most of the dishes on the table, and the rest were leftovers and had no appetite at all.
"Brother and sister, why don't you eat it? ”
Before the chopsticks were moved, someone directly attacked.
She and Ling Yaoxi sat at two tables respectively, and there were all female guests here.
There were eight people at the table, and the older women were talking from time to time, and they were happy, while the remaining ones were more silent.
The one who spoke just now was an older woman in her thirties.
Her skin is delicate and well-maintained, but she is arrogant between her eyebrows, as if she doesn't take others in her eyes at all, this posture has suppressed her beauty a little.
Tao Xiaozhen's eyes fell on the table, and there was no soup leftovers, and he couldn't eat it at all.
"I'm not hungry. She smiled slightly, trying to keep a low profile.
The woman's eyes flashed slightly, and she turned a bowl of fish soup that had been cold, "Come, take a sip, this fish soup is delicious, and little girls like you like to drink it the most." ”
Several people looked at her, as if they were going to watch her finish the fish soup before they would stop.
Tao Xiaozhen smiled slightly, just raised his eyes and glanced at the fish soup, his voice was a little cold, "I don't like to eat leftovers, if you like this eldest sister, you can eat it yourself, you don't have to be polite to me." ”
At this time, the other three juniors present were horrified and lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.
How can this woman be so bold?
Hearing this, the woman's face sank for a moment, and she wrinkled her eyebrows suddenly, and said unhappily: "Whose child are you? Why are you so disrespectful to your elders?"
"I haven't seen any elders forcibly let the younger generation eat leftovers, if there really is such an elder, I think that the guy who relies on the old and sells the old doesn't need much respect. Tao Xiaozhen smiled coldly.
She has seen a lot of this kind of woman, relying on the identity of an elder, arrogant and commanding, if you have been silent and have your eyes closed, the other party will think that you are easy to bully.
"You!"
The woman frowned angrily, "Do you know what my identity is, why do you talk to me like this!"
"I don't know. ”
She raised her chin slightly, and looked at her coldly, "We are relatives who can't be beaten, you can put your tricky attitude on your future daughter-in-law, and play some prestige in front of me." ”
"Presumptuous!"
Finally, the oldest woman spoke.
is not angry and self-threatening, and the word slamming out made the other people's bodies tremble in an instant, and they seemed to be particularly afraid of her.
"A junior, don't respect your elders, are you still reasonable?" The woman raised her eyes, and her pair of Danfeng eyes were majestic.
Tao Xiaozhen didn't seem to notice it, and looked at her, "I'm sorry, I spoke too straight, I apologize." ”
Just when everyone thought that the newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, she would directly scold her mouth, but she softened her posture just right.
She stood up and picked up the bowl of fish soup and came to the one who had just made a difficult statement, "I'm sorry, this sister-in-law, what I said just now was too heavy, and this bowl of fish soup is my compensation." ”
