Chapter 110: The Xia Family's Birthday Banquet (3)
followed Mrs. Zhou to the side hall, Xiao Ruo found that there were not many people inside, basically all of them were women, all ages, but she always felt a little weird, as if something was wrong.
After looking at it for a while, she had a vague feeling that this should be the Xia family, right?
"Jinghua, come over here." As soon as Mrs. Zhou entered the door, she shouted at a middle-aged beautiful woman in the middle of the hall who was about the same age as Yang Bing.
Since there were not many people, Old Madam Zhou's voice went down, and everyone's eyes shot over. Seeing Xiao Ruo who was being led by her, everyone's expressions were different.
"Mom, ...... are you" The beautiful woman known as Jinghua walked lightly, and she didn't see the urgency at all, but it didn't take long for her to reach a few people, nodded to Han Qi and the others, and asked Mrs. Zhou.
Old Madam Zhou pulled Jinghua's beautiful woman with her other hand, and said with a smile: "Jinghua, this is Xiao Ruo, you think this child is good, right?"
The smile on the lips of the quiet beautiful woman, who had been smiling indifferently, paused when she heard the word "Xiao Ruo", and only after a few breaths did she return to the same as before, and the slightly raised Danfeng eyes stared at Xiao Ruo for a moment, and then a soft voice like a breeze blowing across the water sounded: "What a person who can't take your eyes off, I call you Ruoruo, okay?"
Xiao Ruo frowned slightly, she felt that this beautiful woman named Jinghua was very familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, and when she heard her words, she bowed slightly and said, "Of course you can, I don't know what to call Auntie?"
"My surname is Chu, you can call me Aunt Chu or Aunt Jinghua." Chu Jinghua seemed to inadvertently accentuate her surname on her surname. But when Xiao Ruo heard it, he had a feeling of sudden realization.
Surname Chu? It should have something to do with Haoyue, right? She looked at the beautiful Chu Jinghua and thought silently in her heart.
"Then I'll call you Aunt Chu, hello Aunt Chu." Xiao Ruo didn't know what this Aunt Chu was thinking, was she doing it deliberately just now or was it just a habit? And Haoyue doesn't have much to do with herself, so what is her purpose?
Chu Jinghua nodded with a smile, and then greeted Han Qi and the others, and pulled Xiao Ruo to find a place to sit down with Mrs. Zhou.
Yang Bing's face seemed to be a little bad, but he could see that his daughter was pulled over. Reluctantly, she moved along. The rest of the Yang family's ladies looked at her with some concern and followed.
"Bing'er, you've been looking a lot better lately, it seems that Ruoruo is really important to you. I really envy you to death, giving birth to such a beautiful daughter, I don't think I can talk about the capital, even the whole of China can't find anything comparable to your family. I don't know who deserves it. ”
After everyone sat down, Chu Jinghua's first sentence turned out to be to Yang Bing, who had a bad complexion. Although they are all compliments, Xiao Ruo feels very strange how awkward he listens, especially the last sentence.
"That's the best in my family." Yang Bing raised his chin proudly, as if he hadn't heard some of the questions in Chu Jinghua's words.
Xiao Ruo felt even more weird, as long as Yang Bing was not right to herself, she was a strong woman, but how did she look today, um. Confused?
The inquiring glanced at Han Qi, and saw that his grandmother smiled bitterly and shook her head lightly at herself. Xiao Ruo secretly thought in his heart, it seems that Yang Bing and Chu Jinghua should have had some grievances before.
"Ruoruo is almost twenty this year, right? I always hear Guoqiang talk about you, saying that you have done him a great favor, so young, but so capable, Auntie really likes you. Chu Jinghua ignored Yang Bing's words and turned sideways to talk to Xiao Ruo.
This is Xia Guoqiang's mother?
Xiao Ruo was slightly startled. glanced at Yang Bing, who had a sinking face, and smiled at Chu Jinghua and said, "Aunt Chu has won the award, and it is Mr. Xia's own ability." I didn't really do anything. Also, I want to confess, today is the birthday banquet of the old man Xia, my grandfather is also coming, it is already very wrong to follow my grandfather and them over willfully, and now I am sitting in the house as a junior, knowing that the elders are coming but not going out to greet them, it really shouldn't be. So, please let Xiao Ruo go and say hello to the elders first, and then come and talk to Aunt Chu?"
Since Yang Bing and Chu Jinghua are not on the right track, it seems that they are still in a weak position, although Xiao Ruo will not slap the Xia family in the face at such a time, he will not give them a good look.
Chu Jinghua was stunned for a moment, her smile stiffened for a moment, and after a while, she said, "If you are so sensible, of course Auntie will not blame you, but we said that we must come over later."
Xiao Ruo got up and saluted, and glanced at Yang Bing by the way: "Mom, Dad, they're coming too, let's go out first, right?"
Yang Bing was ignored just now, and now although she really wants to pinch her rival here for a while, she finally found her daughter, and she doesn't want her image to be damaged. Seeing Xiao Ruo's eyes, he knew that with his daughter's exquisite thoughts, he must have seen something, and his heart was hot, and as Xiao Ruo stood up, he didn't look at Chu Jinghua, he only told the others about his crimes, and then took his daughter's hand and walked out of the door.
As soon as the two left, the rest of Han Qi and the others also came one after another, and they needed to go to greet each other, so they also went out.
"Jinghua, you ......" Old Madam Zhou sighed, "Xiao Ruo's matter, let it be." And don't forget, you are the daughter-in-law of the Xia family!"
Chu Jinghua's face became a little pale after Xiao Ruo said "Dad", and she began to grit her teeth when she saw Yang Bing's performance, but she was soon awakened by her mother-in-law's voice. She suppressed her emotions and smiled again like a spring breeze: "Mom, I am also for the good of the Xia family." Since you have entered the Xia family, you naturally have to think about your family, you say yes? Besides, don't you plan to do so?"
Old Madam Zhou's face changed, she sighed softly, and did not speak again.
And a girl in red who had been paying attention to the progress here in the house said a few words to the person next to her and quietly went out.
"Mom, if you don't like Chu Jinghua, it's a big deal that I just ignore her in the future, or I'll help you teach her a lesson?"
When he went out, seeing that everyone in the Xiao family had not yet arrived, Xiao Ruo approached Yang Bing and whispered.
Hearing Xiao Ruo call her rival's name, there was no respect in her tone, Yang Bing's heart blossomed, she was afraid that her daughter would be deceived by Chu Jinghua's hypocritical appearance just now, but now it seems that she is worthy of being her daughter, who is both smart and considerate.
"No need, your mother and I have been fighting with her for so long, and I haven't won it all? You don't have to worry about it, Mom can do it herself. Yang Bing's fighting spirit was suddenly blazing, which made Xiao Ruo even more curious about what happened between her and Chu Jinghua.
"Such an adult, still thinking about that little thing." Han Qi, who came out, glared at Yang Bing and said angrily, "Don't take it with you." ”
"Mom......" Yang Bing shouted very unwillingly, seeing Han Qi's serious expression, he was silent and stupid.
Xiao Ruo was quite amused, Yang Bing's appearance was really childish, she had never seen her like this before.
The Xiao family didn't come, and Xiao Ruo didn't bother to run around, so they followed Han Qi and they found a random place to sit down. She actually didn't want to see the Xiao family, it was just an excuse just now, but since she came out, she should still say hello to Xiao Wangshan, as for Xiao Yongjiang, she will let it go first, and then clean it up with the Li family.
After chatting with a few elders, Xiao Ruo suddenly found that something seemed to be missing, and frowned for a long time before remembering, where did Li go?
Looking around, Xiao Ruocai found Li Muyun and Xia Guoqiang talking in a corner.
However, Li's expression is not very good, while Xia Guoqiang is as stable as Mount Tai, and the expression on his face is the same as Chu Jinghua.
Frowning, Xiao Ruo withdrew his eyes, let him solve the matter between men, she won't care.
People kept coming, and there were more and more people in the yard, and every time someone came later, the original person would get up to show respect, and as time went by, the people who came became more and more heavyweight.
After the No. 6 chief's family arrived, Xiao Ruo and Yang Bing knew that Xiao Wangshan was coming.
Sure enough, I soon heard someone coming to report that Xiao Wangshan and his family had come to congratulate him on his birthday. At the same time, Xiao Ruo heard Yang Bing's very obvious cold snort, and she was a little surprised in her heart, wondering if it was because of Xiao Yongjiang?
The Xiao family came this time, except for Xiao Wangshan and Xiao Yongjiang, the second generation only came to Xiao Lin, and the third generation was Xiao Qin and Xiao Chu. With a few polite words from his family and Xia Hesong, Xiao Wangshan left from that side, and walked towards the place where the bigwigs stayed while dealing with the greetings of the rest of the people.
After walking for a short time, I saw Yang Bing and Xiao Ruo coming over, Xiao Wangshan and the others stopped and waited for them to come over.
"Grandparents, Dad, Big Brother and Sister-in-law...... Elder brother. The last title seemed very hesitant, but Xiao Chu didn't care, he couldn't hear anything anymore, he only knew that he had a sister!
It was also very difficult for Xiao Ruo to call out this brother. In fact, until now, she doesn't have a great impression of Xiao Chu, and her impression is not even as good as Xiao Qin, but he is finally his own family. Xiao Chu has not yet reached the level of Xiao Yongjiang, so she naturally does not want to leave him alone. Anyway, if it's just like that, she won't pay much attention to this person in the future. And Xiao Yongjiang next to him was naturally ignored by her.
"Big brother, this is the good granddaughter you gave birth to!" Xiao Yongjiang didn't reflect on why he was treated like this, as if his own contact with the Li family had never happened, and he didn't even let go, "Xiao Lin, Bing'er, that's how you taught your daughter?"
"Mr. Xiao should think about himself before he speaks, I have no biological parents to teach you to think that you should know better than me, you don't have to use your identity to pressure my father and my mother, or rather, now you are not qualified to say that about them at all." Xiao Ruo said coldly, she didn't need to be kind to people who were disrespectful to the elderly.
Xiao Yongjiang was furious, and he was about to get angry, but he felt that he was being suppressed by a momentum, and he waited until a cold sweat broke out on his forehead before he retracted it. After a few quick breaths, he turned his head and asked angrily, "Big brother! Are you trying to cover up?"
"I'll talk about it when I get home." Xiao Wangshan retracted his momentum and said lightly, and glanced at Xiao Ruo again, "If Ruo is too, come home with me at night." ”
Xiao Ruo was stunned for a moment, and replied simply, "Hmm."
Even if she goes to Xiao's house, she will not compromise.
