Chapter 198: The Dinner Party! The Domineering Appearance of the Great God (2)
Qiao Yue turned around, stroked Elaine's frowning brow, and said softly: "Don't show such an expression, don't let hatred erode yourself, and don't punish yourself with other people's sins." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I will help my father get justice, so don't show such an expression again. β
The hatred in her eyes gradually dissipated, and Elaine, who had returned to normal, looked at the son in front of her, who looked seven or eight points similar to her husband, time flies, and now their son is also 26 years old, and her husband has been away from him for more than twenty years.
Her life seemed to stop the moment her husband died.
Sometimes she doesn't even know that she is really alive in this world.
She hugged her son in front of her, and her voice had a slight cry: "Xiao Yue, I didn't want to involve you, but my mother really can't hold on." The thought that you might be assassinated by someone else without knowing anything, like your father, I can't imagine how I can hold on. β
Qiao Yue knew that Elaine was still in fear of losing him, and he patted Elaine on the back, hoping to give her some security.
"So, I thought, instead of keeping you in the dark and defenseless, I should tell you that we take the initiative. Elaine said, let go of Qiao Yue, and said to Qiao Yue firmly: "Xiao Yue, you promise your mother that you won't be dominated by hatred like your mother, you have to stick to yourself and don't be fallen." β
"I will. Qiao Yue nodded firmly.
The dinner started on time, and Cheng Xingtao arrived at the location of the dinner to know that this was not an ordinary welcome banquet, but a charity auction!
Cheng Xingtao thought about it, she was so naΓ―ve!
With such a grand appearance, how could it be possible to use that simple banquet method, if it was through this kind of charity auction, Old Man Qin let his grandson show his skills at the charity meeting, so that he would not only make a high-profile appearance, but also directly gain a good reputation!
Cheng Xingtao glared at Li Yuanxiu angrily, and said, "Didn't you say earlier that this was a charity auction, you said that I was here, come here empty-handed, and don't auction something?"
Li Yuanxiu stretched out his arm, motioned for Cheng Xingtao to hold his arm, and said, "Oh, if you have this heart, auction yourself off, and when the time comes, I will buy you no matter how much it costs." β
Cheng Xingtao glanced at Li Yuanxiu directly, reluctantly took Li Yuanxiu's arm, and followed Li Yuanxiu into the venue.
Before the charity meeting began, the first people inside were standing in the luxuriously decorated hall chatting and drinking.
Cheng Xingtao followed Li Yuanxiu closely, after all, she didn't know any of the people here, even if she was often on TV, she might not be able to recognize it, on the one hand, she was face blind, and on the other hand, she rarely watched the news.
She's a person who would rather watch anime every day than watch the news.
As soon as Li Yuanxiu entered, he took a general look and found that the old man was sitting in one place, and a few younger people next to him were chatting with him.
Li Yuanxiu walked over with Cheng Xingtao, and after walking to Old Man Li's table, he called Grandpa.
Old Man Li heard Li Yuanxiu's voice, looked up and saw Cheng Xingtao next to him, Cheng Xingtao smiled and politely saluted Old Man Li.
Old Man Li didn't have any change in expression, and accepted Cheng Xingtao's salute silently.
The other people surrounding Old Man Li saw Li Yuanxiu and shouted: "Young Master Li is here!
Li Yuanxiu smiled and didn't speak, and when the others acquiesced, he continued to ask: "Oh, it looks a little eye-catching, which family's daughter is it?"
Li Yuanxiu and Cheng Xingtao on the side hadn't spoken yet, but Old Man Li spoke first: "It's the children of the Cheng family." β
Those who asked questions didn't seem to have heard of the Cheng family, but these people have been in the officialdom for many years, and of course they don't dare to get to the bottom of it, and they can't seem to be lonely and unheard, so they no longer ask the Cheng family's questions, but praise and say: "You look really good! Li Shao has a great eye! There are also good girls I know, introduce my uncompetitive boy!"
Li Yuanxiu said with a smile: "Uncle Li, don't joke with the juniors, there are more good girls around Li Shao, why do you need me to introduce you." β
Cheng Xingtao has been smiling slightly beside him, watching these people play officially.
In that short moment just now, Cheng Xingtao understood what it meant to be prejudiced.
It seems that the reason why this old man doesn't like her is very simple, that is, he dislikes her ordinary family and can't be on the stage.
Fortunately, she is not Li Yuanxiu's girlfriend, if it is true, she really wants to explain on the spot that her parents are living a serious life and making money with their own hands to support their families, not a wealthy family, what happened to the rich and noble gatekeeper?
What can't be said!
Anyway, her purpose is not to win the approval of the Li family, Cheng Xingtao will say whatever they want, anyway, after this dinner, she and Li Yuanxiu are just a subordinate of the boss, and the Li family has no half-dime relationship with her.
However, if the Li family values the family, Xiao Xin's side is estimated to be a little bitter.
Cheng Xingtao thought about it for a while, and the crowd dispersed after chatting with each other.
Old Man Li glanced at Cheng Xingtao, and suddenly said, "Find a time, let your parents come to the imperial capital, and we will meet." β
"What?"
Cheng Xingtao hadn't reacted yet, Li Yuanxiu reacted before Cheng Xingtao, he was afraid that after Cheng Xingtao reacted, the reaction would be too intense, resulting in an accident at the dinner.
Li Yuanxiu hurriedly stood in front of Cheng Xingtao, and whispered to Old Man Li: "Grandpa, this is too fast." You don't scare her. β
Old Man Li could probably see that Cheng Xingtao was not so keen on Li Yuanxiu, and he thought in his heart that this kid might not have completely dealt with this girl.
Judging from the reaction now, it is obvious that this kid has not done it.
Master Li had a look on his face that you were really unproductive, and then he looked like you should hurry up and leave, don't be an eyesore here.
Li Yuanxiu got the letter, pulled Cheng Xingtao and fled quickly, walked to a corner with few people, handed some snacks to Cheng Xingtao, and said, "You can eat something, you haven't eaten dinner yet." β
Cheng Xingtao hesitantly took the fruit cream snack handed to her by Li Yuanxiu, thinking to herself, what did Li Yuanxiu say to his grandfather, so that his grandfather actually asked her to call her parents to meet in the imperial capital.
When the parents of both sides meet, this is to discuss the rhythm of marriage!
The more Cheng Xingtao thought about it, the more wrong it became, seeing Li Yuanxiu's look of wanting to divert her attention, she put down the food in her hand and said seriously: "Li Yuanxiu, I only promised you to come to the dinner, but I didn't promise you to pretend to be your girlfriend, and besides, what did you say to your family, how did it seem like we could all talk about marriage!"
