The upper-class dinner party eats the atmosphere rather than the food, so the Western-style meal buffet is the best choice, everyone sits or stands to eat and chat, meet acquaintances and chat more, meet less familiar people to say hello, people are flowing, topics are flowing.

So Ding Ning, who followed Yu Shiqin into the banquet hall, was flowed like this.

She was first dragged by Yu Shiqin to a few broad ladies to say hello, and then chatted with a few young ladies for a while.

Because Ding Ning had a "cordial" conversation with Shao Qian when he entered the door, the broad ladies at the banquet thought that Ding Ning and Shao Qian were very familiar.

The introduction of Yu Shiqin naturally produced associations.

This association is that since Ding Ning's father Ding Wensheng is Xia Runian's best friend, he must be a person with a head and a face in Rongcheng.

So they became a little more enthusiastic about Ding Ning and began to praise her for her beauty.

After praising Ding Ning, he naturally wanted to praise Yu Shiqin.

"Mrs. Xia is really blessed, she has a capable husband and two handsome sons, and even her friends' children are so beautiful. ”

While talking, someone really called his son to say hello to Ding Ning.

It was like a blind date on the spot.

Yu Shiqin immediately refused, saying that Ding Ning was still young, and that her friend, Song Wenqing, was very strict with this daughter.

"When Xiao Ning went to college, the couple was not in the country, and they put this child at our house during the summer vacation, for fear that she would fall in love, and now too, this child came to the imperial capital for an internship, and let us help watch it. ”

Yu Shiqin's rhetoric and Ding Ning's well-behaved appearance next to her made those broad wives have a good impression of Ding Ning.

Who doesn't love a well-upped child?

But the wives' liking for Ding Ning attracted the jealousy of those young ladies.

Originally, these daughters who had put a lot of effort into dressing up thought that they would be able to attract some people's attention on this kind of occasion, but they didn't expect to find that there was a new face at tonight's banquet after they came.

This face is not only beautiful.

There are many men who secretly inquire about Ding Ning's daughter behind his back.

So when Ding Ning was brought to these eldest ladies by Yu Shiqin, they didn't want to pay attention to Ding Ning at first.

But when they learned that Ding Ning was from City A and his hometown was in Rongcheng again, their careful thinking began to move.

The daughters all know that Xia Qimo's father is from Rongcheng, Xia Qimo was born in City A, and he has been in City A before.

Later, I heard Yu Shiqin say that Ding Ning's father and Xia Qimo's father were world friends, and these daughters immediately realized that the relationship between Ding Ning and Xia Qimo in front of them was extraordinary.

"Is Miss Ding very familiar with Xia Qimo, she should have grown up together, right?" asked a girl surnamed Fang.

Ding Ning replied truthfully, "I am quite familiar with Qimo, but I didn't grow up together, I lived in my parents' house when they were working abroad, and I was his assistant for a period of time at that time. ”

"That's great!" said a girl surnamed Yuan, "I really want to be Xia Qimo's assistant." ”

That expression seems to be another girl who is excited about Xia Qimo's heart.

Ding Ning looked for Xia Qimo in the crowd.

It's a pity that he's surrounded by another group of people.

"Brother Qimo can't seem to leave, otherwise I can introduce him to you. ”

"It's not too late to introduce it later. ”

"Do you know Xia Qihao?" Ding Ning asked suddenly.

Several girls were stunned at the same time.

To be honest, they also saw Xia Qimo before they began to inquire who he was, and they had only seen Xia Qimo's father and mother come over to the banquet between the imperial capital families before.

So they didn't know about the affairs of the Xia family, and Ding Ning asked so suddenly, they were a little confused.

Ding Ning hurriedly explained, "He is Xia Qimo's younger brother. ”

"I know a Xia Qihao, but he's a singer. One of the girls said.

Ding Ning clapped his hands, "I'm talking about him, he's Xia Qimo's younger brother!"

Yes!

The girls' eyes widened at the same time.

Today's rapidly popular new singer Xia Qihao is Xia Qimo's younger brother!

They hurriedly went to the crowd to find Xia Qimo's shadow.

"Wow, both of them are so handsome!"

"Yes," Ding Ning said with a smile, "I'm the chairman of his support club, do you want to join his fan support club?"

All women, whether they are daughters or ordinary girls, they have a heart to chase stars.

"Wow. They all agreed.

Ding Ning took out his mobile phone, "As a fan benefit, I asked Xia Qihao to video with you." ”

As she spoke, she sent a video request to Xia Qihao.

Xia Qihao quickly accepted.

"How did you think of sending me a video?" Xia Qihao's first sentence was to express doubts about Ding Ning's behavior.

Ding Ning didn't contact him once after returning to China, even after he came to the imperial capital.

Xia Qihao naturally didn't dare to take the initiative to contact her, because he lied to her before that his brother had amnesia.

He was psychologically burdened to call her.

"I attended Grandpa Shao's 70th birthday at Brother Shao Qian's house, and I talked to someone about you, so I called. ”

Ding Ning waved his hand at the camera, "What are you doing now?"

"I'm recording a show. Xia Qihao shook the camera around.

Looking at the surrounding environment, he is really recording a show.

"I'm still recording the show at this time, have you eaten?"

Xia Qihao, "Are you going to show me the food at the banquet?" Eldest sister, I've been shaping lately, don't irritate me." ”

"No!" Ding Ning took his phone away, "I want to introduce you to a few friends, my new friends." ”

The eldest lady hurriedly greeted Xia Qihao.

Xia Qihao naturally greeted him in a friendly manner, and after greeting him, he said, "A few beautiful sisters, my family Ding Ning didn't know anyone when he first arrived in the emperor, you must take care of her and take her to play." ”

"We will. ”

One of them also affectionately grabbed Ding Ning's arm, feeling that she had known Ding Ning for a long time.

The friendship of the women is so inexplicable, after ending the call with Xia Qihao, Ding Ning and the girls sat together and chatted while tasting food.

Very pleasant.

When Yu Shiqin, who was temporarily separated from Ding Ning because she had to go over to say hello to someone, came back to find Ding Ning, she found that she was chatting with those famous ladies, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to be acquainted.

"Ouch, Song Wenqing's daughter is really capable, although she is not a big lady, but she has the life to be a big lady. ”

After successfully getting several daughters to join Xia Qihao's fan support club, Ding Ning also became friends with them, everyone left each other's contact information, and invited each other to have time to play together.

At this time, there was a small commotion in the banquet hall, and several people sitting not far from Ding Ning began to whisper.

"It seems that the people who settled down are here. ”

The people of the An family, Ding Ning's first thought was Ambella.

She also looked towards the commotion, only to see a young man in a red shirt and ripped jeans walk in at the entrance of the banquet hall.

One of the women he was carrying with him was Ambella.

"Do you know them?" asked Miss Yuan, who was sitting next to Ding Ning.

"I know, the girl who kept Qi Liuhai is Miss Ambella, and I have met before. Ding Ning replied.

"I'm not asking Ambella, I'm asking Ann Joe. Miss Yuan pointed at the red man.

An Zhiqiao, the sister protector madman in Xia Qimo's mouth?

Ding Ning squinted his eyes and looked over there for a while, the man was very tall, and a red shirt was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

Because of the distance, she didn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

"I heard that there is an elder brother in the An family who is a sister protector maniac, is this one called An Zhiqiao?" Ding Ning asked Miss Yuan.

Miss Yuan covered her mouth and smiled.

It seems to be.

"I just didn't expect someone from Anjia to come today. Another young lady surnamed Fang said, "The An family and the Shao family rarely interact with each other on weekdays. ”

"Yes, the two families cut off contact after Shao Xianxian's accident, but I didn't expect the second son of the An family to come over with his sister today. ”

This is another new name, and Ding Ding doesn't know anything about the affairs of the four major families except for those found on the Internet.

My mother is right, participating in such a banquet held by high-class people is also a process of getting close to or getting to know them.

It was less than half an hour after she came in, and she knew that the An family had a holiday with the Shao family, and the reason was because of a person named Shao Xianxian.

It's just that who is Shao Qianqian, who sounds like a woman, is it Shao Qian's sister or sister?

In the end, she realized that it was not, this Shao Qianxian was Shao Qian's aunt, although she was an aunt, she was not very old, and she used to be the girlfriend of An Zhinan, the eldest young master of the An family.

Later committed suicide.

When Ding Ning heard this gossip, he suddenly felt that it was a pity that Shao Qian's aunt, who should be one of the top celebrities in the imperial capital, actually committed suicide for a man.

"The men of the An family are very attentive. The corners of Miss Fang's mouth twitched slightly when she said this, revealing a look of disdain.

"But the men of the An family are very handsome!" Miss Yuan added.

After making up for it, she suddenly realized something, and hurriedly added, "But Xia Qimo is handsome." ”

Ding Ning hurriedly replied with a smile, "Yes, and I don't bother Brother Qimo at all." ”

Several people diverged again.

The old man of the Shao family invited many people to the seventieth birthday banquet, and from Ding Ning's senses, the people who came to the Shao family to celebrate his birthday can be described as a sea of people.

Some of these people are relatives of the Shao family, and the purpose of their coming here is very clear, that is, to send personal favors, hand over red envelopes and say a few auspicious words to the Shao family, and then sit down and drink the happy wine, what should they do.

The other part of the people are friends in the Shao family's business, and they come to celebrate their birthdays more to get closer to the Shao family, so they will stay here for a long time, which is a bit of a business entertainment.

The last part of the people is like Ding Ning, that is, they are not relatives of the Shao family or friends of the Shao family's business, because of some relationships, they were invited by the Shao family, and they came over to join in the fun.

The eldest ladies chatting with Ding Ning belong to the last category of people, some of them may have business dealings with the Shao family, but they have no stake in the Shao family.

Therefore, for the Shao family and the An family, these families with heads and faces in the imperial capital, they are more just looking at things from the perspective of outsiders.

The content shared with Ding Ning almost belongs to the category of gossip, but it is not too much to comment.

For example, for the flowers of the men in the An family, they will stop at the point and will not say specific examples.

But they have a lot to say about Yu Fei.

The status of the Yu family in the imperial capital is similar to the status of the Miss Yuan or Miss Fang family in the imperial capital, they are all a little bit of assets, they can be regarded as rich, but they are not up to the status of the Shao family and the An family in the imperial capital.

The daughter born by such a family is actually the first lady in the imperial capital, you are not angry.

"Maybe she is talented, and she is a little high, so the men in the imperial capital will say that she is the first lady. After speaking, Miss Fang looked at Ding Ning and asked, "You should know her relationship with your aunt's family?"

"Yes, she is the daughter of my aunt's half-brother. ”

"Anyway, she should call you Brother Qimo, cousin. ”

As she was talking, the young lady surnamed Yuan next to her crutches Ding Ning with her hand, "Say Cao Cao Cao is here, look, Yu Fei is here!"

"She would step on the dots every time, making her look like some important person. ”

Ding Ning looked towards the entrance again, only to see a person walking into the entrance in a hurry, she was tall and wearing a black V-neck dress, and the slim cut made her whole person have a kingly domineering, especially her hairstyle that was combed back added to some heroism.

Wearing a pair of leather gloves in the same color as her clothes, she held a limited-edition handbag and nodded to everyone who greeted her with a smile on her lips as she entered.

It didn't feel like she was here for a birthday feast, but rather patrolling her territory.

She took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray and walked straight towards Shao Qian.

At this time, Shao Qian was talking with An Zhiqiao, who had just come in.

Ding Ning stopped looking at this when she saw this, she turned around and continued to eat her own things.

At this time, Xia Qimo walked up to her, leaned down and whispered two words in her ear.

"Your cousin is here?" Ding Ning was a little confused, and went to see Yu Fei again, didn't he say that Yu Fei was his cousin?

"No, it's Xiao Shengxian's sister. Xia Qimo replied, and then came over to Ladining.

While pulling her, he said to the other girls, "I'm sorry, I'll take Sister Ding Ning over for a while." ”

As he spoke, he raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to a few girls.

Although these girls had long known that Xia Qimo was handsome, they had never seen him so closely, and when they saw him greeting them gracefully, they were instantly melted, except for a giggle.

"Ah, so handsome!" After Xia Qimo pulled Ding Ning away, Miss Yuan covered her hot face and said.

"It's like Prince Charming, especially since he's wearing a white suit. "Miss Fang also has stars in her eyes.

"Against Xia Qimo's face, I decided to be Xia Qihao's die-hard fan!" said the other two girls, still with serious faces.

Xia Qihao from far away City A may never have dreamed that several of his diehard fans were fans of him because they coveted his brother's prosperous beauty.

Ding Ning was dragged through the crowd by Xia Qimo, and finally saw Xiao Shengxian near the terrace.

At this time, Xiao Shengxian was standing next to a little girl who was about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Xia Qimo pulled Ding Ning to the little girl's side, and said to her with a smile, "This is Ding Ning, you saw it!"

"Sure enough, as Cousin Qihao said, she looks beautiful and fairy!" The little girl tilted her head to look at Ding Ning and said with a smile, and then suddenly stretched out her hand to introduce herself, "My name is Xiao Xiao." ”

"Hello!" Ding Ning shook her hand at a loss.

"This is my brother!" Xiao Xiao also helped Ding Ning introduce Xiao Shengxian.

"I know Brother Xiao. Ding Ning replied.

"When did you meet?" Xiao Xiao looked back at Xiao Shengxian, then squinted his eyes and looked at him with a threatening gaze, "Brother, did you sneak out to play behind my back?"

"It was me who made an appointment with him, and he only made an appointment with me. Xiao Shengxian replied.

Xiao Xiao squinted his eyes again and looked at Xia Qimo, and shouted at his cousin fiercely.

"The place we go to requires an ID card, minors are not allowed to enter, it's not that your cousin doesn't call you, it's that you can't participate yet. ”

"Oh, I'm going to the bar!" Xiao Xiao was immediately relieved, and then took out his ID card like a trick, "I will be an adult in seventeen days, and my coming-of-age ceremony will definitely be held at the bar at that time." ”

After saying that, she laughed as if it was a pleasure to go to the bar.

Ding Ning felt that Xia Qimo's cousin was not ordinary cute.

"Do you want to say hello to your aunt and cousin?" Behind him, Xiao Shengxian asked his sister.

Xiao Xiao stood on tiptoe and searched the crowd for a while, then shook his head, "Forget it, there are too many people, wait until you meet it." ”

In fact, she came to find Yu Fei this time, but this is a little secret of her personal.

"Brother, cousin Qimo, why don't you go social, I'll go eat something with Sister Ding Ning. "She immediately pulled up the camp.

"Good. Xiao Shengxian agreed.

Xia Qimo told Xiao Xiao, "Your sister Ding Ning is a little confused, you can't take her outside to play." ”

Ding Ning: "......" She looked at Xia Qimo.

Xia Qimo smiled at her and whispered, "The melons on the melon rack may not be ripe yet. ”

It turned out that he thought she was still thinking about those melons and fruits.

Ding Ning glanced at him dissatisfied, is she the kind of person who sneaks out to pick melons, and if she wants to go, she will go brightly.

Xia Qimo looked at her and smiled again, and when he left, he said again, "There is mud in the ground, and it will dirty your crystal shoes." ”

Ding Ning smiled.

Xiao Xiao looked confused, "What is my cousin talking about, is he telling fairy tales or ghost stories?"

"He was warning me not to steal melons from the field outside the Shao family. After Xia Qimo left with Xiao Shengxian, Ding Ning told Xiao Xiao.

Xiao Xiao suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, "Yes, when I first came, I did see a melon field outside the Shao family, wait a minute, let's go steal it together!"

Ding Ning thought that this person named Xiao Xiao might be a fellow traveler with her.

Although she is the daughter of Yu Shiqin's cousin's family, she is completely different from the eldest ladies here.

Later, Ding Ning learned that Yu Shiqin's cousin, Xiao Shengxian's father, used to be on the mixed road.

The reason why I was able to meet Xiao Shengxian in the big world that day was because Xiao Shengxian also had shares in the big world.

It is conceivable that the Xiao family is not an ordinary family, and there is a reason why Xiao Xiao is so bold.
