18. Swept her face in public
When I came to the pavilion, the ladies of the Dongfang family were all here, even Dongfang Wan was there, but only the Liu family and Dongfang Zhidie were missing. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The ladies in the pavilion who were originally talking and laughing stopped talking because of Qiao Ran's arrival, and their eyes of disdain and disdain swept back and forth on her.
Qiao Ran's expression was faint, and she could see all the expressions of these people. Very well, their disdain, their disdain, she remembered.
"Ah, isn't that Cousin Ran?" A sharp voice sounded, which only made Qiao Ran feel disgusted.
Looking up, it was Dongfang Zhirou, Dongfang Zhidie's sister-in-law, and she really deserved to be a sister, and her tone of voice was very similar to Dongfang Zhidie, but the only thing was that she couldn't hide her thoughts as Dongfang Zhidie.
"Dye Er is here!" Yu stepped forward and smiled kindly at Qiao Ran, if he hadn't known her true face, he would have really thought that this Yu had really been good to Qiao Ran sincerely, like a loving mother.
Qiao Ran sat in a wheelchair, her hands flashing slightly, avoiding Yu's hands that wanted to hold her.
Seeing this, Yu was displeased, but he didn't dare to show it. There was a flash of indignation in his expression, but he quickly covered it up, so he had to smile at Qiao Ran awkwardly, "Come and sit down first, your grandmother should be coming over soon." ”
"Hmm. ”
Qiao Ran just responded lightly, and Dongfang Zhirou on the side looked dissatisfied, and wanted to say something, but when she saw Yu's prompt, she had to be silent.
"Sister!" Dongfang Zhirou shouted in surprise when she saw Dongfang Zhidie behind Qiao Ran, and ran forward to hold her hand.
"You, you're not too young, why are you so rude, be careful that your grandmother should scold you again. Dongfang Zhidie nodded her head, and from her eyes, she could see that she loved this sister very much.
"Hey, hey. ”
"Dye is here too. Dongfang Zhidie looked up and saw Qiao Ran, and she was not surprised, but just whispered.
"Yes. Qiao Ran still had a faint tone, and there was a slight smile on her face, so that people couldn't see any of her emotions, since the attitude towards them in Ding'an last time had already been expressed. Naturally, she doesn't have the spare time to act with them, but she has to hide her true emotions.
"Cousin, my sister is greeting you, is that your attitude?" Twice in a row, Qiao Ran had this attitude, and Dongfang Zhirou couldn't bear it anymore.
"Is there anything wrong?" still smiling, which made Dongfang Zhirou not know how to answer, so she could only stare dryly.
While talking, the Liu family came with a lot of money surrounded by the maids, and here she is the oldest, and everyone saluted her slightly when they saw her coming.
Liu Shi smiled and glanced at everyone, his eyes lingered on Qiao Ran for a moment, and then he smiled again, "Today is an ordinary family banquet, so don't be restrained." ”
As soon as Liu spoke, everyone was very happy, and they began to talk and laugh again.
"Dye'er, come to your grandmother's place. Liu Shi looked at Qiao Ran and smiled, as if he was very happy.
"Yes. Qiao Ran turned around and motioned to the two girls beside her, and Qinghe quickly stepped forward and pushed.
Seeing Qiao Ran coming forward, the smile on Liu's face was even worse. "Dye'er, are you used to coming here?"
"It's fine. Joe's hair drooped slightly, as if he was humbly taught.
"Well, if it's all right, you can move to the house and stay for a while. ”
"That's right, Ran'er, you haven't been around the house for a while, your grandmother is talking about you!" Dongfang Wan on the side continued with a smile.
Qiao Ran couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, these two people sang and harmonized, but they had a tacit understanding, "Recently, things in the house have been busy, and it is Ran'er's negligence, please don't blame my grandmother." ”
"Alas, you are a stubborn person, and it is really difficult for you to let your aunt take care of you in the past and you are unwilling. Liu stroked his forehead and said.
"My grandmother was too worried. Regarding this matter, Qiao Ran didn't want to say more to them, and his head hung slightly.
"Well, I won't mention it. A glimmer of light flashed in Liu's eyes, this girl is really leaky, it seems that it will take some work to take over the Qiao family.
And Dongfang Wan's eyes were gloomy, originally they planned to let her go to Ding'an Mansion to help, and then move the assets of Ding'an Mansion little by little, you know, the assets left by her sister and brother-in-law are not small! I didn't expect this girl to become so shrewd now, no matter what they think, they can't get around her.
"It won't be long before you will be married, Ran'er's child is a man after all, there is always something I don't understand in this regard, it is better to let your aunt go over to arrange for you, your mother had a very good relationship with your aunt before her death, and it is your own aunt, she used to be very suitable. This time, Liu didn't ask Qiao Ran again, mainly because she was afraid that Qiao Ran would reject her again, and now that so many people were here, she thought that Qiao Ran still didn't dare to scan her face in public.
"Ran'er would like to thank her grandmother here......" Qiao Ran said with her head still lowered.
Liu Shi and Dongfang Wan were overjoyed when they heard her answer, but then Qiao Ran's words made them hold their breath in their hearts, neither up nor down.
"But yesterday my brother told me that he had already started to prepare for the matter, and he really didn't dare to bother his grandmother anymore. ”
"Nonsense! This is not a trivial matter. Liu's face was full of anger, but Qiao Ran was still not humble, she did it on purpose.
"Yes, Dye'er, according to the rules of the war, there must always be a master. Dongfang Wan saw the right time to interject.
"Auntie, don't worry, my brother said that he will invite Duchess Su to take charge of the affairs at that time. ”
"What?!! this is really nonsense, how can this invite the Duchess to come. Liu's face was so angry that he didn't know how to do anything, but invited an outsider, what did he do!
"Back to my grandmother, Dye Er has recognized the Duchess as her stepmother, and my brother said to invite the Duchess to come, and everyone will not have any objections at that time. Qiao Ran sneered in her heart, she was going to deliberately anger them, now she has a very good relationship with Su Suqing, and the Duchess of Guo also pitied her very much when she heard about her, so she recognized her as her daughter, because of this, it also made Su Suqing happy for several days.
And she explained everywhere that it was Qiao Ran who said it, and it happened to block their mouths, since it was Qiao Ran who said it, they naturally couldn't let Qiao Ran change his mind, because this matter was not arranged by her after all.
"What did you say?" Liu's eyes widened, as if he was going to swallow Qiao Ran alive.
"Everything is arranged by my brother, so I don't dare to worry about my grandmother. In a word, the meaning is already clear.
Liu's hands were hidden under his sleeves and clenched tightly, and there was nowhere to go in his breath, Qiao Ran swept her face in public.
This dead girl is definitely deliberate, just to not let her meddle in the affairs of Ding'an Mansion, it seems that she still underestimated this girl.
Everyone on their other side could hear it, and their surprised eyes all fell on Qiao Ran's body.
"That's it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and everything is up to you. Liu Shi stopped and said softly, looking very helpless.
Qinghe behind him smiled secretly in her heart, this young lady is really smart, just looking at Liu's face, she feels refreshed.
Qiao Ran's face was still faint, as if she hadn't said anything just now, but her heart was full of confidence, they didn't want to stretch out their hands to Ding'an Mansion again, and she didn't need outsiders to interfere in her affairs.
