Chapter 13: The opening heroine
The night came quickly, in fact, when the sky was slightly dark, many guests had already come to Xiao's house. After all, as the largest business group in City A, the Xiao family's appeal in City A is one of the best.
When Xiao Ruoyan walked down from the upstairs with Ji Xiaoxi, all the lights in the audience were concentrated on the two of them.
All the guests present looked at Ji Xiaoxi, and they wanted to know who this beautiful girl in a burgundy dress was.
Could it be that a young lady of the Xiao family, does Xiao Ruoyan have a younger sister?
Many guests have such questions in their hearts.
I haven't heard of a daughter in the Xiao family for so many years.
But if it wasn't the daughter of the Xiao family, why would the Xiao family spend so much effort to hold a dinner party for him.
Just when everyone was talking, Xiao Ruoyan led Ji Xiaoxi down the stairs.
Then he grabbed Ji Xiaoxi's waist very politely.
Just this action made many girls in City A envy Ji Xiaoxi.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are very welcome to come and attend the dinner held by our Xiao family today. Everyone knows that not long ago, my eldest brother Xiao Qi married Miss Ji Xiaoxi of the Ji family. So today's dinner was specially organized by our Xiao family for my sister-in-law Ji Xiaoxi. ”
As soon as the words fell, the focus of the audience was focused on Ji Xiaoxi.
Ji Xiaoxi, as the hostess of the opening, should naturally say a few words, so Xiao Ruoyan handed the microphone in his hand to Ji Xiaoxi.
Xiao Ruoyan originally thought that Ji Xiaoxi should be very nervous at this time, and even his voice would tremble a little.
But what Xiao Ruoyan didn't expect was that after Ji Xiaoxi took the microphone, she looked very dignified and calm, and she spoke clearly.
"Welcome everyone to the Xiao family's dinner, although this dinner is held for me personally, but in fact, it is just borrowing my name, the ultimate goal is to give all the people in City A who are friends with the Xiao family a chance to get together, I hope everyone will have a good time today, and come happily and happily. ”
Ji Xiaoxi's words did not regard himself as the supreme position, but he also undoubtedly announced the identity of the hostess, which is really exquisite.
Sure enough, the daughter-in-law chosen by the Xiao family is different, even if it is for Xiao Qi, who is a little disabled, the daughter-in-law chosen is such a wonderful person.
"I heard that this girl's life in the Ji family was not easy back then, so Ji Guorong and his wife seemed to be very mean to this girl. ”
"Having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather, and this can be wrong. ”
"Now it seems that this girl's upbringing is very good. ”
"Can the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family be bad?"
Some in the crowd were whispering.
Ji Xiaoxi didn't hear these whispered discussions.
She understands that she doesn't care about these details today, she just needs to be quietly the identity of the opening hostess of the Xiao family.
Not to embarrass Xiao Qi and the Xiao family is her goal today.
After the dinner began, everyone dispersed, some were busy chatting, some were eating food, and the scene was very happy.
Ji Xiaoxi wanted to find a reason to slip away, but he didn't expect to be stopped by Xiao Ruoyan.
"Are you going to leave now? I really think that the butler just asked you to be the opening hostess, and now you are going with me to get to know the big families who have business dealings with us. ”
Xiao Ruo said in a cold tone, there are so many businessmen who cooperate with the Xiao family present, he must maintain a consistent image.
So Ji Xiaoxi could only follow Xiao Ruoyan and visit those friends who had business dealings one by one.
They say they are friends, but they are just friends in terms of interests.
Just when Ji Xiaoxi felt that her face was a little cramped with laughter, a delicate voice reached her ears.
Even if this voice turned to ashes, Ji Xiaoxi could recognize it.
That was Ji Xueluo's voice.
"I really didn't expect my sister, who is usually inconspicuous, to be so beautiful, it can really be said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles. ”
Ji Xueluo's tone was full of mockery.
Ji Xiaoxi didn't want to ignore her, but she heard Ji Xueluo walk up to her side and whisper in her ear: "Do these people know that you live in a utility room in the Ji family? ”
Ji Xueluo said that she wanted to mock Ji Xiaoxi, and she felt that Ji Xiaoxi would definitely not say such a shameful thing.
But in Ji Xiaoxi's eyes, these are not shameful things, the utility room is indeed a little dark and damp, but after all, it is the room she has lived in for so many years.
She didn't think there was anything unbearable in that room, the dog didn't think the family was poor, and the son didn't think the mother was ugly, probably that's it.
Even if it is unbearable, Ji Xiaoxi feels that it is also unbearable for the Ji family.
Let the lonely adopted daughter live in such a room, what face does the Ji family have to publicize everywhere.
Ji Xiaoxi didn't want to say these embarrassing words to the Ji family, but Ji Xueluo was too deceitful like this.
Ji Xiaoxi felt that he couldn't bear it anymore.
She squeezed her hand and said: "It's not embarrassing for me to live in the Ji family's storage room, what is embarrassing for me, what is embarrassing is that the Ji family has let a little girl live in a room that is not as good as a servant for so many years." ”
What is different from Ji Xueluo is that Ji Xiaoxi's words were said very loudly, and almost all the guests present heard them.
"What? The Ji family actually let a little girl live in the storage room?"
"The Ji family's methods are too unbearable. ”
"It seems that the previous rumors that the Ji family bullied this little daughter are true. ”
"No wonder the Ji family's business has been getting worse and worse in the past two years, so immoral, God won't help them. ”
……
When Ji Guorong heard these words, his hands couldn't help but tremble.
He wanted to stand up and explain it all, but he didn't have the face to refute it.
After all, these things are real, and Ji Xiaoxi does live in the storage room of the Ji family.
Ji Xueluo saw that she did not taunt Ji Xiaoxi, but was defeated by her.
In a hurry, he ignored the occasion and ridiculed: "Ji Xiaoxi, don't think that you are flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix." You are just marrying the crippled son of the Xiao family, you are a widow. ”
Ji Xue said these words at the Xiao family's dinner, and everyone thought that this girl was crazy.
Sure enough, before Ji Xiaoxi could reply, the housekeeper slapped Ji Xueluo's face.
Chen Lan saw her daughter being beaten, and hurriedly stepped forward and shouted: "Why are you beating people, come and see, the Xiao family actually beat guests." ”
Chen Lan's voice was like a sharp knife, cutting through the air.
The so-called shrew, nothing more than that.
Ji Guorong felt that his face was disgraced.
"It's you who fight, please open your eyes and see that you are now in the Xiao family. The Xiao family's territory insults our master, are you impatient?"
Ji Xiaoxi had never seen the housekeeper so fierce.
