Chapter 19: Meeting Acquaintances (I)
"Nian Xi, Xiao Mo. "It's mom who calls them.
When Zhao Nianxi heard her mother's voice, she was directly stunned, and then turned her head to look at her mother with a smile and said, "Mom, Dad, why are you here." ”
"I saw that you didn't go down, so I came up and took a look. After her mother took the lead in explaining, she motioned for Zhao Xiaomo to turn sideways, she lowered her head slightly and looked carefully at the place where Zhao Xiaomo pinned, and the thread could be clearly seen on the edge.
Zhao Nianxi was a little panicked when she saw that her mother also saw the thread, at this time, her mother raised her head and looked at her father, but she actually said to Zhao Xiaomo and Zhao Nianxi: "This piece is indeed stretched." ”
"Mom, it really has nothing to do with me! I didn't do it. At this moment, Zhao Nianxi's eyes obviously couldn't be hidden.
Zhao Xiaomo looked at Zhao Nianxi, who was full of nervousness, pursed her lips and didn't speak, the atmosphere suddenly became cold, and it took about a few minutes before Zhao's father spoke: "Tingting, do you have a dress suitable for Xiaomo to wear?"
"Yes. Mo Tingting, that is, Zhao Xiaomo's mother, nodded.
"Let's take her for a change of clothes. After Zhao Qikang finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Zhao Nianxi deeply, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was obvious.
Although Zhao Nianxi was a little panicked, she had completely calmed down at this time, she pursed her lips and didn't speak again. And Zhao Xiaomo has been called away by her mother to change into new clothes.
Mother's dressing room is very large, in addition to some daily clothes, there are also some dress areas, Zhao's mother instructed a few servants to bring a few evening dresses, all styles, all colors.
"Let's see if there's anything you like. My mother asked her to line up the few dresses she had brought over, and said, "Let's see if there is anything you like...... I ordered these clothes for you before, but I thought about giving them to you when the banquet was over. ”
"Thank you, Mom. Zhao Xiaomo nodded and then looked at the clothes in front of her, and soon her eyes fell on a black skirt, the skirt was black on the bottom, and the silver light was shining on it, just like the starry sky at night, and the most important thing was that the bottom of the skirt was discolored, and it could be seen carefully that the skirt changed from black to blue, and the whole was very beautiful.
This 'starry sky skirt' looks inconspicuous among other skirts, black and black, not to mention how good the appearance is, but Zhao Xiaomo knows that if this starry sky skirt is worn well, it will be amazing!
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Zhao Xiaomo chose the most inconspicuous starry sky skirt, her mother didn't expect her to choose this skirt, and she was stunned for a few seconds.
Mo Tingting didn't expect her daughter Zhao Xiaomo to choose this inconspicuous starry sky skirt, this skirt was pushed by her best friend who was a costume designer, originally she couldn't look at this skirt well in terms of appearance or all aspects.
Zhao Xiaomo took the skirt and changed the starry sky skirt directly in the middle, she looked at herself in the mirror after changing, a black curly hair like seaweed was naturally draped on both sides of the shoulders, the skirt design was a straight neckline, her skin was white, so it looked more crystal clear under the background of the black skirt, this time Zhao Xiaomo's makeup was very light and elegant, slightly cute, at this time this starry sky skirt added a bit of solemnity to her.
The bottom of the skirt is a gradient blue and silver starlight, so it looks very light and mysterious.
Zhao Xiaomo took a deep breath, and then slowly came out of the locker room, and when she came out, she saw her mother stunned for a moment.
"Xiaomo, it's beautiful, it's perfect for you. Mother took Zhao Xiaomo's hand, looked up and down, out of the pursuit of beauty, mother praised again and again: "I didn't feel anything just by looking at the clothes before, but I didn't expect that as soon as you put it on, the whole person's temperament is different, I really didn't expect that my girl not only has good vision, but also good clothes." ”
"Yes, Mom. Although Zhao Xiaomo is in her thirties, she can't help but be embarrassed when she is praised by her mother like this.
"By the way, Xiaomo, there is something Mom wants to ask you. Mom paused and said, "Didn't your father give you a black card before, why don't you prepare a little dress for yourself and wear it?"
"Ah......" Zhao Xiaomo didn't expect her mother to ask like this, so she quickly paused and said, "That is a credit card, I have used that card to buy a lot of cosmetics before...... I wasn't too embarrassed to let you spend money on dresses, but I just happened to say that I bought a dress, so I didn't use that card. Zhao Xiaomo said cautiously, looking at her mother a little timidly, she knew her mother's character very well, and her mother didn't like others to lie to her.
Mom stared at her for more than ten seconds before exhaling: "Don't be like this next time, how much can a few cosmetics and clothes cost, you will be the child of our Zhao family in the future, and you may also be one of the future heirs, you must learn to broaden your horizons." ”
"Hmm. Zhao Xiaomo looked like she remembered her mother's words, but Zhao Xiaomo knew very well in her heart that the future Zhao family would go down the road under Zhao Nianxi's lead, and the future head of the family would not be Zhao Xiaomo.
Zhao Xiaomo thought about the past while walking downstairs, because of the clothes, the banquet downstairs had begun, and they were now sitting together in groups of threes and twos.
Zhao Xiaomo just glanced twice, and recognized most of the acquaintances in the circle, this banquet is quite private, so there are not many people here, and most of the people who come here are people with heads and faces in X City.
"Come, take me. Mom paused, exposed her elbow, and let Zhao Xiaomo lead, Zhao Xiaomo nodded, then stepped forward to take her mother's hand, and went down the last few steps of stairs with her.
"Hey, Sister Mo, your body is recovering well, who is this?" As soon as they got downstairs, Zhao Xiaomo and her mother were stopped by a middle-aged woman in a red dress with a wine glass.
"Isn't that a big thank you?" Mom picked up the red wine on the table next to her and tossed with the middle-aged woman, "cheers." After the cup, my mother took a sip of wine, and then said, "By the way, let me introduce you, my side is my daughter-Zhao Xiaomo." ”
Because of the relationship of respect, her father and mother did not change her name, Zhao Xiaomo still remembers that the reason why she named herself Zhao Xiaomo was completely because she envied Zhao Nianxi for having a family, so she specially named her surname Zhao.
"Daughter?" The middle-aged woman's voice suddenly rose a lot, and then she immediately lowered her voice again, covered her mouth and whispered, "Biological one?"
"Yes, biologically. Mom said with a faint smile throughout.
"What about Nianxi? I remember you only had one child. The middle-aged woman hurriedly said again. For this question, the mother smiled lightly, then put her index finger between her lips and said, "Yes, I only gave birth to one daughter, and because of this illness, I found out that Xiaomo is my own daughter." ”
"Then have you raised the wrong child in your relationship for half a day?
"It depends on what Xiaomo thinks. Mom said and threw the most difficult question to Zhao Xiaomo, and at this time, Zhao Xiaomo's eyes quickly found Zhao Nianxi in the crowd.
She saw Zhao Nianxi standing in the crowd, surrounded by several young talents, looking at her smiling face, Zhao Xiaomo couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, she paused, and said to her mother: "Mom, I am Nianxi's best friend, so I hope Nianxi can still be your daughter, and then I also have a sister." ”
Zhao Xiaomo looked at her mother with a little innocence, she knew that she could make her mother happy by saying this. Zhao Xiaomo took the opportunity to move her gaze to Zhao Nianxi, and at this time, Zhao Nianxi also noticed that she had come down, and her eyes showed a bit of indescribable displeasure and jealousy.
There is a saying that jealousy makes a man ugly.
Zhao Xiao felt that Zhao Nianxi, who was wearing a white dress at the moment, looked very ugly, she raised her chin slightly, raised her good-looking neck, with a little roundness between the beautiful arcs, and the design of the neckline made her neck look more slender and good-looking.
"Should I complain about whether your daughter is a White Lotus or ...... It's stupid. Although the middle-aged woman lowered her voice, Zhao Xiaomo still heard it.
"You really are. Mom didn't feel at ease with the middle-aged woman's words, but turned her head to look at Zhao Xiaomo and said, "Xiaomo, Mom knows that you and Nianxi just had an unpleasant relationship, but ......"
"Momo, Mom. Zhao Xiaomo heard her mother's words before she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Nianxi's figure coming, she chuckled, held a wine glass, stared at her directly, eager to take off this dress, she said, "What are you talking about?"
