Chapter 20: Meeting Acquaintances (Part II)
- What are you talking about?
When Zhao Xiaomo heard Zhao Nianxi's voice, she immediately smiled again, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, with an innocent face, like a water lily blooming quietly.
"Nian Xi. Zhao Xiaomo stretched out her hand and pulled Zhao Nianxi over, and took the initiative to say: "I told my mother, even if I come back in the future, I hope you can stay, be my mother's father's goddaughter, and be my sister who is not related by blood." Zhao Xiaomo's voice was not small when she said this, and almost half of the people in the banquet hall heard it.
At this time, many people turned their attention to Zhao Nianxi, and even some people began to talk about it.
- I heard the rumors before that this Zhao Nianxi is not the Zhao family, but it turned out to be true.
- Ouch, now the owner has been found, you said that her position is embarrassing.
- The goddess of Nianxi is not the Zhao family......
At this moment, Zhao Nianxi, who was on the cusp of the storm, couldn't help but clench the wine glass in her hand, if it weren't for someone present, she wouldn't want to go up and tear Zhao Xiaomo's mouth.
Zhao Nianxi took a deep breath, and then said with a smile on his face: "Xiaomo, thank you, you really deserve to be my best sister." ”
"Hehe, of course, you were taken away by your parents back then, and you didn't abandon me, how can I give up you now. Zhao Xiaomo said with a smile, especially focusing on the things of the year.
When Zhao Nianxi heard Zhao Xiaomo's words, her heart was a little empty, she quietly glanced at Zhao's father and Zhao's mother on the side, when the Zhao family first received the child, she did a DNA test at the nearest local hospital for the sake of insurance, but at that time she used a little trick to let Zhao Xiaomo accompany her, and when she did the examination, she pulled Zhao Xiaomo's hair.
Because she didn't do a blood test, her parents thought she was afraid of pain, so they agreed to her to use her hair for the test, of course, the result was just as she thought, she used Zhao Xiaomo to replace the position that originally belonged to her.
Later, when Zhao Nianxi grew up, she secretly returned to the hospital where she did the examination, and found the nurse and doctor who examined her back then, and she gave these two people a sum of money respectively to let them go abroad.
In this way, even if she is exposed in the future, no one can know that she deliberately used Zhao Xiaomo back then.
Zhao Nianxi smiled awkwardly and politely, then pursed his lips and changed the subject: "By the way, Mom, you haven't introduced Aunt Xiaomo to Aunt Xiaomo yet!"
Mo Tingting, who was listening to the conversation between her two daughters, was stunned, and hurriedly said, "Hey, yes, let's go...... Xiaomo, let me introduce you to your aunt and aunt. ”
Zhao Xiaomo couldn't help twitching twice when she thought of her family's strange relatives, these relatives were more than one by one, not only helping when Zhao Nianxi framed the Zhao family, but also falling apart when the Zhao family fell.
To put it simply, these people have no other use than to open their mouths to eat and ask for money.
Zhao Xiaomo froze, hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Okay." ”
Probably aware of the behavior of her relatives, her mother deliberately whispered before taking her over: "It's good for you to see these aunts and aunts, no matter what they say for a while, you don't care." ”
"Well, I know, Mom. Zhao Xiaomo patted her mother's hand and signaled her not to worry.
Mo Tingting looked at Zhao Xiaomo sensitively, just now, she obviously felt that Zhao Xiaomo's magnetic field had changed, she pursed her lips and didn't speak again.
The two came to the center of the banquet hall side by side, and Zhao Xiaomo also saw the former family at a glance. As one of the upper-class families in X City, the Zhao family is mainly engaged in the media stream business.
And the current head of the Zhao family actually has a total of two people, one is Zhao Xiaomo's father - Zhao Qikang, and the other is Zhao Xiaomo's grandmother - Zhao Mei.
For her grandmother, Zhao Xiaomo still has a little admiration in her heart, it can be said that the reason why the Zhao family is so large now is that Zhao Mei has contributed a lot, and the most important thing is that she is the foundation of the rise of the Zhao family.
But it can be said that the grandmother of success is also the grandmother of defeat.
"Mom, this is Xiaomo. Mo Tingting pulled Zhao Xiaomo forward and said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zhao Mei, that is, Zhao Xiaomo's grandmother, she sat on a chair, her white hair was meticulously combed behind her head, she was wearing a red cotton jacket, and the cotton jacket was a hand-embroidered dragon and phoenix, which looked very sophisticated.
She looked Zhao Xiaomo up and down with a serious face, and asked indifferently, "Is this confirmed?"
Mo Tingting's face suddenly became a little ugly, she knew that this was her grandmother mocking her for finding the wrong child back then, but she still said truthfully: "Well, it has already been tested." ”
"I didn't do a test back then, but I didn't find a mistake. Grandmother snorted lightly and didn't say much to Zhao Xiaomo, but it was obvious that her words were full of displeasure about this matter.
"Grandma. Zhao Xiaomo held down Mo Tingting, who still wanted to defend a few words, she had dealt with this old lady in her previous life, so she naturally knew her habits, and at this time, she saw Zhao Nianxi standing aside, watching the play with her hands on her chest.
Zhao Xiaomo knew that the old lady doted on Zhao Nianxi very much, but so what?
"Grandma, do you think that back then, it was ten years ago, how could the medical technology at that time be compared with now?" Zhao Xiaomo kept her eyes level when she said, letting the old lady's gaze scan her up and down, she didn't retreat or advance.
She knew that the old lady liked assertive and ambitious girls, and she felt that if people had no ideas, they were not suitable for the Zhao family. The old lady's eyes looked Zhao Xiaomo up and down for a long time before she said, "You junior, who made you interject?" Although the old lady's words were full of displeasure, her tone was obviously a little softer than before.
"Yes, yes, grandma, I was wrong. Zhao Xiaomo didn't defend himself, and he didn't hesitate at all when he should admit his mistakes
The old lady snorted lightly, and then asked, "What about Nianxi, what are you going to do?"
Xiaomo said that she and Nianxi are good sisters, so Qikang and I are ready to recognize Nianxi as our goddaughter. Mom lowered her head and said her plan, but she knew how to trick herself, and especially put the credit on Zhao Xiaomo, so that she could brush her favorability in front of her grandmother.
"Even if you husband and wife still have a little conscience about other little girls. The old lady let go of her displeasure a little when she spoke, and she finally set her eyes on Zhao Xiaomo.
For the old lady's attitude, Zhao Xiaomo can barely breathe a sigh of relief, when she was talking to her grandmother, she was a little unhappy with her grandmother's attitude to examine her, an excitement stretched off her clothes, and ran in public, causing her not only to have a bad reputation, but also to be beaten into the 'cold palace' by her grandmother, and she was very unwelcome to see her after that.
At this time, several other relatives sitting around saw that the old lady had acquiesced to Zhao Xiaomo, and came over to congratulate Zhao Xiaomo a few words, and began to give Zhao Xiaomo a greeting gift.
"Ouch, this is Xiao Mo, she looks so good, come on, this is for you, it just matches you. Saying that, my aunt handed over a bracelet, although the bracelet looked crystal clear, but at a glance, Zhao Xiaomo recognized that it was an A bracelet.
Although Zhao Xiaomo's understanding of these relatives knew that they couldn't send any good things, but he didn't expect to send fakes, even if his inner mother sold batches, Zhao Xiaomo still took things with a smile on his face.
A wave of aunts and aunts finished sending the meeting gift, Zhao Xiaomo took a cursory look, these items are either fakes or defective products, and they have changed from the original speechless to calm, Zhao Xiaomo knows that these relatives seem to be very talkative, but they are all the masters of Mingzhe's self-protection, and they only have themselves in their eyes, of course, since the Zhao family fell, their ending is not much better.
At this time, the old lady suddenly spoke: "By the way, what about Zhao Wei?"
When she heard the name again, Zhao Xiaomo couldn't help but stop her movements, she turned her head to look at her mother, who thought she was curious about the name 'Zhao Wei', and couldn't help but take the initiative to explain: "Zhao Wei is your cousin, that is, your aunt's son, who came back from studying abroad for a double degree doctorate in journalism and economics, and is currently assisting in company affairs at home." ”
Zhao Xiaomo listened to her mother's words, and her memory couldn't help but be a little farther away, she remembered this cousin, or she remembered this cousin very well, and said that it was nice to say that this cousin was an infatuated species, because he took everything for Zhao Nianxi, but to put it mildly, this is a man who does not distinguish between right and wrong.
Zhao Xiaomo took a deep breath, and then nodded at her mother, indicating that she knew about the existence of this person. Cousin Zhao Wei is the child of the second aunt, it can be said that the second aunt is a dazzling maniac, and she will definitely take her son out for a walk on such occasions.
"Mom, Ah Wei went to get you a gift, I guess it's almost here. When the second aunt said, she looked at the time, before she was reborn, Zhao Xiaomo couldn't stay at the end of the banquet because of Guo Ben's matter, and naturally she didn't know this, when she saw her cousin Zhao Wei afterwards, the other party was sarcastic about her, thinking that she had smeared the Zhao family and something like that.
Not long after the second aunt's words were finished, Zhao Xiaomo heard footsteps behind her, and her leather boots stepped on the stone floor, echoing with a soft sound.
"Grandma, I'm here. A deep voice slowly sounded from behind, and Zhao Xiaomo turned her head and looked behind her.
The first thing that catches your eye is Zhao Wei's face, handsome and a little bookish, he wears a gold-rimmed glasses, and looks polite.
