Chapter Seventy-Six: The Imperial Capital Woman.
Before going to participate in the recording, Ding Ning learned about the draft rules of "Children of the Sea".
The "Sons of the Ocean" is divided into ten divisions, each of which selects the top ten, and then the 100 players draw lots to determine their order of appearance, compete for the top 50 seats through the round-robin competition, and then 50 into 30, 30 into 20, 20 into the top 10, and finally produce the champion, runner-up, third place and other rankings.
Saturday's game was not a round-robin but a show of all the players, so Xia Qihao gave the entry ticket to Ding Ning.
said that it was a fan, but in fact, it was Xia Qihao's family and friend group, because the game didn't start, so what fans were there.
And the ticket that Ding Ning got from Hao Xicheng is naturally the area of Hao Xicheng's artist's family and friend group.
Of course, when he figured out what was going on with the location of the admission ticket, Ding Ning had already sat next to Hao Xicheng.
Hao Xicheng also introduced to the families of the two contestants, "This is my cousin who wants to come over to see the atmosphere of the scene. β
Cousin?
Ding Ning wanted to say hello twice, but when she saw the other party greeting him very respectfully, she swallowed it back and got up to greet someone.
After a cold noise, Ding Ning began to look for Li Xiaonuan's figure.
Although Li Xiaonuan was in the front row of her, because the number was far away, the distance between her and her was almost half a studio.
She searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone, so she had to give up.
Hao Xicheng saw her looking around, thinking that she was looking for Xia Qimo, so he said, "Xia Qimo won't come today." β
"Why?" Although Ding Ning didn't pay attention to Xia Qimo, he was still surprised to hear the news that he couldn't come, he was Xia Qihao's brother, why didn't he come on the big weekend?
"He has an overseas project and is now abroad. After Hao Xicheng finished speaking, he tilted his head and looked at Ding Ning, "You don't know?"
"I don't know. Ding Ning replied very calmly, she was not his secretary, so she knew this.
"You don't usually keep in touch?"
"Yes, we rarely have contact. β
Speaking of this, Ding Ning suddenly wanted to explain to Hao Xicheng again, so she said, "We just have a good relationship with our parents, not that we have a good relationship, so we don't need to contact each other often." β
What's more, she took the initiative to ask to recognize a godbrother but was rejected by Xia Qimo, which proves that the relationship between them stops at the list of ordinary friends.
β¦β¦
Here, Li Xiaonuan knew that she and Ding Ning were sitting far away, so after taking a seat, she was not looking for Ding Ning, but stretched her neck to look at the stage, waiting for the show to start.
Although she doesn't know any of these draft contestants, judging from the posters, they are all eye-catching boys.
Watching the beautiful little brother sing and dance, there is nothing more exciting than that.
Li Xiaonuan's heart was surging, and she couldn't restrain her excitement.
At this time, an arrogant voice floated over Li Xiaonuan's head.
"This young lady, please give way. β
A cold and haughty voice.
Li Xiaonuan turned her head sideways and saw a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman, with the fragrance of Qu Ya all over her body, looking at her.
Li Xiaonuan was startled, and quickly sat back, and then put her legs together to make way for the other party.
The middle-aged woman was very satisfied with Li Xiaonuan's attitude, but did not express her gratitude, but turned around and smiled and said to the person behind her, "Nana, follow your aunt quickly, be careful of your step." β
The look was very kind.
The two of them walked in front of Li Xiaonuan and sat down in an empty seat.
Li Xiaonuan noticed that the young woman named Nana who followed the middle-aged woman behind her was also dressed luxuriously, and she also had a good smell on her body.
As soon as you smell it, you know that it is not an ordinary perfume.
She unconsciously looked at the other party twice.
The young woman is very beautiful, and this kind of beauty is beautiful at first glance under superior conditions, and the well-groomed hair, the makeup created by high-end cosmetics, and the clothes worn on the body are also high-end.
Li Xiaonuan thought that it seemed that these two people were rich people, no wonder they were so bullish when talking to people.
At this time, the middle-aged woman who sat down opened her mouth again, and she said to the young woman apologetically, "Qimo Company really can't get out, otherwise he will definitely come over." β
Ambiguous ink?
Xia Qimo?
Li Xiaonuan glanced at the two of them, and thought that her position was given up by Ding Ning, and she suddenly realized.
These two people have something to do with Xia Qimo, if she is not mistaken, the middle-aged woman should be Xia Qimo's mother, and this young woman may be Xia Qimo's girlfriend or something.
They are here to cheer for Xia Qihao.
Wow, the Xia family is really a rich family, and even the people they are dating are so rich.
Li Xiaonuan looked at their screwed bags, if it weren't for the TV station's rules not to bring mobile phones into the venue, she really wanted to search the Internet to find out how much their bags were worth.
At this time, another wave of people came, they passed in front of Li Xiaonuan noisily, and when they passed by the middle-aged woman and the young woman, a guy with yellow hair seemed to recognize the middle-aged woman.
"Aunt Yu!" he shouted.
"Are you?" it was clear that the middle-aged woman didn't recognize the other.
"I'm Xia Qihao's junior high school classmate, and I've been to your house before. The yellow-haired man said grinningly, and then beckoned to his companions, "Hey, this is Xia Qihao's mother, say hello." β
"Aunt Yu!"
"Aunt Yu!"
"Aunt Yu!"
β¦β¦
Everyone shouted in unison, and the battle was quite big.
The corners of Yu Shiqin's mouth curved, revealing a smile like entertainment, "Are you here to cheer for Qihao?"
"Yes, Aunt Yu, we are Xia Qihao's best buddies, can we not come to this kid to participate in the competition?"
As he spoke, several people pushed and shoved and walked forward.
Li Xiaonuan observed, and after the gang left, Xia Qimo's mother frowned obviously.
I don't seem to like it very much.
Then the young woman asked, "Are they all friends with Kiho?"
Yu Shiqin replied, "There are a few of them, and I don't know the others." Speaking of this, she explained, "Our middle school in City A, these may be his classmates from middle school, and when they know that he is going to participate in the competition, they come to cheer him on. β
Speaking of this, Xia Qimo's mother hurriedly explained, "Our family Qimo is the same as Qihao, and he interacts with some business elites. β
Speaking of this, Yu Shiqin explained again, "I didn't tell him in advance when you came over this time, otherwise he would have pushed off the company's affairs and came to accompany you." β
"It's all right, auntie. β
While the two were talking, another person came over next to Li Xiaonuan, who was tall and ran over like a gust of wind, and as soon as he came, he called Mom.
Li Xiaonuan raised his eyes and saw a handsome man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes.
"Qi Hao, why did you come to the audience?" Yu Shiqin hurriedly asked.
Li Xiaonuan heard the other party shouting Qihao, and already knew in his heart that he was Xia Qihao.
Before she came, she had seen Xia Qihao's poster, and now that she saw the real person, she didn't expect the real person to look better than the poster.
What genes does this Xia family have, and why are the two brothers born so pleasing to the eye.
Xia Qihao glanced around, beckoned to his group of classmates, and then asked Yu Shiqin, "Ding Ning, why didn't you see her?"
"That daughter of the Ding family?" Yu Shiqin's eyebrows furrowed again, "Did she say she wanted to come?"
"Of course. Xia Qihao didn't seem to have much time, he dropped a sentence and asked her to call me and retreated.
Even Li Xiaonuan wanted to stand up and say that I am Ding Ning's friend, but he didn't give him a chance.
After Xia Qihao left in a hurry, the young woman asked Yu Shiqin, "Aunt Yu, who is Ding Ning, is it Qihao's girlfriend?"
"How is it possible," Yu Shiqin said with a smile, "That's the daughter of your Uncle Xia's old friend, a girl from a small place, who went to school here so Qi Hao would know her." β
"I think Kiho is in a hurry. β
Yu Shiqin smiled contemptuously, "Maybe the little girl is in a hurry to find him, isn't our family Qihao here to participate in the draft, maybe he will be a big star in the future, the little girl has a lot of ideas." β
The young woman said she didn't understand.
Yu Shiqin patted the other party's hand, "Now little girls like to take shortcuts, but our Xia family wants to marry a girl like Nana, who is a beautiful and wise daughter-in-law, so I don't know if we have this blessing." β
The girl smiled and lowered her head.
The two of them were chatting with each other, but they didn't know that Li Xiaonuan was so angry when they listened to it.
Her family's conditions are not good, and in the past two years, she has suffered from the eyes of those who think she is Bai Fumei at school.
In addition to Ding Ning, the other two in the dormitory also laughed at her for not being able to buy cosmetics.
I didn't expect a family like the Xia family to be so low.
Said Ding Ning wanted to take a shortcut?
Ding Ning's family is not short of money.
Besides, isn't Ding Ning's father a friend of their family?
Li Xiaonuan thought angrily, no wonder Ding Ning only stayed in the Xia family for two weeks before moving back to the dormitory, it turned out that their Xia family looked down on people.
If you look down on it, you look down on it, Ding Ning is not rare.
But how to vent her evil anger for Ding Ning, Li Xiaonuan sat in her position and thought about it, and in the end she felt that direct scolding was the best way.
So she took the initiative to talk to Yu Shiqin.
"Hey, this aunt, are you Xia Qihao's mother?"
There was Qin Yunna between Yu Shiqin and Li Xiaonuan, and there was an empty seat, and the music started to play at the scene, she didn't hear what Li Xiaonuan was saying, she glanced at it and looked at the stage.
Li Xiaonuan was even more angry, she sat down and continued, "Auntie, I am Ding Ning's classmate. β
Yu Shiqin heard this, and she only sighed.
Li Xiaonuan took out the admission ticket and raised it, "This is given to me by Ding Ning, she asked me to come over and cheer for Xia Qihao." β
"Oh, thank you!" Yu Shiqin only then showed a little smile on her face.
Thank you!
Li Xiaonuan wondered if this rich Mrs. Kuo understood the meaning of her words, what she wanted to say was that Ding Ning didn't take their family seriously at all.
Where did she get so much confidence to say that Ding Ning wanted to take a shortcut.
So she added, "Auntie, Ding Ning is actually here, and she is over there." β
Li Xiaonuan pointed in Ding Ning's direction and added, "She is sitting with her boyfriend!"
She said this quite loudly.
Yu Shiqin had to respond.
"Oh, I see. β
Li Xiaonuan achieved his goal, retreated to his seat with a smile on his face, and looked at the stage intently.
At this time, the host appeared, and it was Yin Si, the popular host of Sky Blue TV.
It takes a long time to record the program, even if it is under the slogan of live broadcasting, it is necessary to record it again at the beginning to prevent accidents.
So an hour later, the host announced the intermission.
Li Xiaonuan found Ding Ning at halftime and told her about his adventure.
"Sitting next to me are Xia Qihao's mother and a young woman, who is eighty percent of Xia Qimo's girlfriend, who looks like a rich lady. β
"She's here too?" Ding Ning was surprised.
"Do you recognize her?" Li Xiaonuan was also surprised.
Ding Ning shook his head, "I don't know, it was Hao Xicheng who told me just now, saying that Xia Qimo's fiancΓ©e is here, I have seen the photos before, it seems that she is from the imperial capital, and the family is very rich." β
"Oh, it turns out that rich people play with rich people. Li Xiaonuan was a little sour when she said this, she looked at Ding Ning, "Ding Ning, shouldn't you do the same." β
"How am I?"
"Play with rich people. β
"Do you think I'm rich?"
"Your family's conditions are at least better than mine," Li Xiaonuan pouted, "Forget it, I won't say these sour words, in fact, in the eyes of the rich, we are all the same." β
Li Xiaonuan continued, "Even if your family has a good relationship with Xia Qihao and their family, if you get a little closer, she will criticize your motives behind your back, and I am usually said by others, thinking about it is nothing." β
"Are they criticizing me behind my back?" Ding Ning regretted after asking, Yu Shiqin could make a contemptuous expression in front of her, let alone behind her back.
"Actually, I know," she said hurriedly, "it's nothing more than saying something that wants to climb the branches, I don't care, being friends with rich people is easy to be criticized." β
Li Xiaonuan empathizes, she has the best relationship with Ding Ning in the dormitory, and the other two will also say behind her back that she wants to get some benefits from Ding Ning.
The conditions of Ding Ning's family are indeed the best among the four of them, and they are usually very generous in spending money.
So she very much agrees with Ding Ning's words.
Especially Ding Ning later said, "I just know that I am not this kind of person." β
Li Xiaonuan was very moved, she thought that Ding Ning was talking about her.
But I didn't expect Ding Ning to add another sentence, "But finding a billionaire to marry is still my ideal." β
"......" Li Xiaonuan was stunned on the spot, isn't marrying a billionaire a high branch?
"I didn't understand. β
"Is this hard to understand?" Ding Ning smiled, "I'll just find a rich man who doesn't think I'm climbing a high branch, and then take him around in front of those who criticize me, how cool it is to slap my face." β
"Is there such a man?"
"Of course there is, if you look at the rich people on the current list, how many of them are the second generation of rich? As long as you have the right vision to find someone who has the ability to start a business, you can also be the wife of a billionaire. Of course, you can also start a business and become a billionaire yourself. β
Li Xiaonuan thought about her own ability, and she felt that the first plan Ding Ning said was feasible.
Just thinking about it, Hao Xicheng came over with two cups of milk tea.
He handed the milk tea to Ding Ning and Li Xiaonuan.
"What are you two talking about?"
"I'm talking about entrepreneurship. Ding Ning prevaricated casually, she didn't want Hao Xicheng to know that they were talking about how to be the wife of a billionaire.
Li Xiaonuan looked at Hao Xicheng, she had heard Hao Xicheng's name from Ding Ning's mouth, and she also knew that he was running a brokerage company, and there were several popular artists under him.
Could it be that he is the person who has the ability to start a business that Ding Ning said.
Li Xiaonuan decided to test it, she said to Ding Ning and Hao Xicheng, "Someone asked me just now, I said an inappropriate word about you, do you want to hear it?"
"What words?" asked Ding Ning.
Hao Xicheng smiled but didn't say anything, as if he wanted to hear it.
"I said......" Li Xiaonuan pointed to the two, "I said you are boyfriend and girlfriend." β
"What?" Ding Ning jumped away from Hao Xicheng's side at once, and then went over and gave Li Xiaonuan a punch, "You guy...... Who's asking, it's not going to be a journalist, right?"
Li Xiaonuan shook his head, "It's Xia Qihao's mother." β
Ding Ning put a little bit of heart, she had read some scandals about her and Hao Xicheng on the Internet, but she didn't care, she was not a star, so someone relied on a few photos to make a news, and the public was not interested at all.
As it turned out, the news had very few views, not even a comment.
But if Li Xiaonuan tells the reporter directly, it will be equivalent to breaking the news, and it will be suspected that she is breaking the news herself.
Because Li Xiaonuan is her good friend.
Being blown up by someone and blowing up yourself are two different things, and it is easy for people to think about this kind of material, and people who are idle may not be as calm as before.
Ding Ning didn't want his peaceful college life to be disturbed by this.
However, she can also understand why Li Xiaonuan said these words to Xia Qihao's mother, she can be standing out for herself.
"Xiao Nuan, don't lie like this. β
Unexpectedly, Hao Xicheng said, "It's okay, I don't have a girlfriend anyway." β
Ding Ning: "......" Is it good for her to have a relationship?
The afternoon recording continued, Ding Ning heard that there was an empty seat next to Xia Qimo's fiancΓ©e and no one had been sitting, and she was really afraid that she would be misunderstood when she sat next to Hao Xicheng, so she didn't think much about it when she called to get in, but now she had to keep an eye on it.
So she followed Li Xiaonuan to the area of Xia Qihao's family and friend group and sat next to Li Xiaonuan.
After the past, he naturally wanted to greet Yu Shiqin, "Aunt Yu is good." β
"Oh, it's Ding Ning, why did you sit here, aren't you with your boyfriend?" asked Yu Shiqin.
Ding Ning smiled, "It's not a boyfriend, it's just that there is a ticket in another place, and I heard that there is an extra seat here and came over." β
"There's no one in this position, right?" she asked.
Yu Shiqin smiled, "This is our family's disagreement, he didn't come for something." β
"Oh. β
Yu Shiqin introduced Qin Yuna to Ding Ning, "This is Qimo's girlfriend, who just came from the imperial capital." β
Qin Yuna hurriedly called out to her aunt shyly.
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
Ding Ning hurriedly greeted the other party, "Hello, I've seen your photos before." β
"Really?"
"Well," Ding Ning replied very sincerely, "Aunt Yu showed me, but you yourself are even more beautiful than in the photo, and I am really blessed to be Brother Mo." β
Ding Ning's words successfully won Yu Shiqin's favor, she came over and grabbed Ding Ning's hand, "You kid, you love to tell the truth!"
Ding Ning bent the corners of her eyes and smiled, she was already good-looking with her eyebrows and eyes, and this smile added a little cuteness.
Yu Shiqin swept away her previous coldness and chatted with Ding Ning.
"How old are you now?"
"Sophomore. β
"What are you going to do after graduation?"
"Maybe when I go back to Rongcheng, my parents are just my daughter, and I want to go back to take care of them. β
"Ouch," Yu Shiqin suddenly showed a look of envy after hearing this, "It's really filial, no wonder your parents baby you, it's really still a daughter's caring." β
Ding Ning smiled inwardly and began to boast.
"Aunt Yu, aren't you going to have a daughter soon, and there will be a caring little padded jacket in the future. Ding Ning said and pointed to Qin Yuna beside him.
Yu Shiqin immediately laughed when she saw it, "Xiao Ning, what you said is so right, I will also have a caring little padded jacket in the future." β
As he spoke, he took Qin Yuna's hand and looked at her with a smile.
Qin Yuna lowered her head shyly again.
When Ding Ning saw this scene, he stopped going to them and sat upright to watch the stage.
At this time, the director on the stage was shouting to all departments to pay attention to the official recording.
The music sounded, the stage suddenly dazzled, and after a while, Yin Si walked towards everyone with a professional smile.
Ding Ning: I'll go, why did she forget that the host of the show was Yin Si, and I don't know how Miss Imperial Capital, who was sitting in the audience, would feel if she learned that the radiant hostess above was Xia Qimo's ex-girlfriend.
It should be a mixed taste!
