Chapter 20: The Banquet (2)

The people around her came and went, Xiao Ruo followed Alice to meet countless people, the muscles on her face were about to stiffen, and she didn't have time to drink the juice in the cup in her hand, but fortunately, there was internal strength, which could soothe the muscles in her legs and make her not so sad.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one came, Xiao Ruocai had time to take a sip of the juice in the cup, ready to moisten his somewhat dry lips. The cool juice went down my throat, and before I had time to taste the taste, someone came over again.

The person who came was obviously very familiar with Alice, and before he got to the two of them, he opened his mouth to greet him: "Alice, you are really lively here today."

This time it seems to be a couple, and the reason why I say it seems is because in Xiao Ruo's feeling, they are similar in age to Alice. But the man in the suit had turned a little gray in his purple hair, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, which matched his golden eyes, and he had a scholarly temperament, obviously much older than the lady beside her. The woman's red hair was very eye-catching, and although there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, she did not look old like Alice. She was the one who spoke just now.

Seeing the two of them, Alice was obviously very happy: "Will, Jesse, I was looking for you just now, why, Eva didn't come?"

The old woman Jesse was obviously a little distressed: "Of course I came, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye, I told her to stay by my side, this girl is too disobedient." Although it is blame, the tone is full of pampering.

Mr. Weir's tone was stern: "After going back, you should have disciplined her well."

"Will! It was you who locked Eva in confinement and she ran away, don't be too strict with children. Jesse dissatisfied.

"Jesse, Eva is so naughty, she's not too young, it's time to take on the responsibility of the family." Will said helplessly.

"Okay, okay, you have to discuss the discipline of the child, go home and talk. Jesse, Will is right, you're too doting on Eva. Alice was still persuading at first, but later she became a helper.

"How can I spoil me?" Jesse retorted unconvinced, but seeing that he didn't have an advantage on the field, he changed the direction of the wind: "You're right, Alice, this is not the time to discuss disciplining Eva. Is this rachel? What a nice kid, I have to say, Alice, you have such a good eye. ”

Xiao Ruo could see that Alice and the two were familiar, and her smile was much more real: "Madam, thank you for your compliment, your nobility makes me envious."

Jesse covered his mouth and smiled: "What a good boy who can talk, and much more well-behaved than my Eva." Alice, will you give me rachel, or shall we swap?"

Alice was very smug and said, "This can't be. You can envy it, my Rachel is an obedient and generous lady, although Eva is also very cute, but Rachel is the best in my heart. Rachel, this is the Vincennes I told you, this is Will. Mr. Vincent, this is her wife Jesse. Vincent. ”

"Mr. Vincent, Mrs. Vincent, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xiao Ruo formally greeted the courtesy, was generous, and the etiquette was standard.

Mr. Vincent nodded appreciatively and said, "Hello, rachel, we have heard Alice talk about you a long time ago, and when we meet today, it is really not an ordinary girl." He said with a little deep meaning, and a little indescribable meaning flashed in his golden eyes.

Xiao Ruo smiled faintly and avoided this topic, she knew that she would definitely see someone from the Vincent family today, so she specially checked a lot of information and brought a special spiritual power device with her. Divination is also related to mental power, and she has too many secrets, so she has to take precautions in advance.

"Madame Vincent, is Eva your granddaughter?"

"Yes, Rachel, Eva is our youngest granddaughter, she is a very sweet child, but a little lively. You should be the same age, and I wanted you to get to know you today, but I'm sorry that this kid didn't know where to run while we weren't looking. Mrs. Vinson was a little embarrassed.

"It's all right, Madame Vincent, there's always a chance to meet. Besides, girls my age should be more lively, and Alice often says that I am too rigid and makes her very boring. Xiao Ruo said.

Mrs. Vincent was very happy when she heard this, her face smiled like a flower, and she looked at Xiao Ruo and said, "Rachel is such a quiet and well-behaved girl that I like it, how can it be said to be rigid?" Alice, you're too harsh. ”

Alice smiled, Xiao Ruo had already used the same method with the queen, and this trick was really effective in bringing the relationship closer.

"I'm doing it for her good, a girl at this age should be energetic, Rachel is too mature." Alice argued.

Mr. Vinson sighed and said, "If only Eva could be so mature, I'm afraid she won't be able to take on the responsibility."

Mrs. Vincenne also nodded approvingly with a worried face.

"Eva is actually a very sensible child, although she is a little outgoing, but she does everything she needs to do very well, you should know her better than I do." Alice said with relief.

Madame Vincent's face turned slightly pale, and she put away her worried expression and became triumphant: "You're right, Alice. My Eva is the best, and I've seen so many kids that Rachel can compare to her. ”

Mr. Vincent felt a little crying and laughing at his wife's words, and Jesse's emotional personality he had been a little helpless, and it was normal just now, and this would come out again.

Alice seemed to be familiar with Madame Vincent's character, but she continued her words: "Rachel is still far from it, after all, she is new to family affairs and has little experience, and although I have confidence in her, she still needs time to grow. Those boys aside, Victoria of the Lorraine family is not comparable to Rachel at this stage. ”

"Yes, now that the heirs of each family have grown up, there have been too many things going on in the world recently, and my divination has told me that there seem to be more and more serious things to happen in the future, but when I look closely, there is a fog ahead. Alice, we are all old, and the world depends on young people after all. Rachel is an excellent heir, I can see that very clearly. Besides, we're going to be together, Langton and Vincent, we've been together for a long time, haven't they?" Mr. Vinson's golden eyes contained a look that no one could see, but his words really put Alice at ease.

"Will, I believe in you. Rachel would also believe Eva's. Alice's words were short, but they sounded like some kind of assurance.

Xiao Ruo, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was thoughtful about Mr. Vincent's words, but there were many things that she had only just come into contact with, so she didn't seem to understand them, but Alice would definitely tell her these things, just remember them first.

After saying that, the Vincennes took their leave. Alice saw that Xiao Ruo was a little tired, and said with concern: "Honey, are you tired?" There is a sofa in the corner, you can go and take a break first. Today is just a social banquet, no one will come to invite the dance, you have already met a lot of important people just now, and if there are important guests later, I will ask Charlie to call you. ”

Xiao Ruo nodded, and walked towards the corner with Anthony, from time to time he would meet some people he had just met, so he could only stop and say hello, and he had to deal with the people who came to make friends.

Fortunately, this was Xiao Ruo's first appearance at a formal social banquet, and without knowing her temperament, there were not many people who came to talk, which also allowed her to quickly get out and find an empty sofa in the corner to sit down.

"Xiu, do you need something to eat? There is still more than half of the time for the banquet. Seeing that Xiao Ruo was tired, but still had to maintain a strong appearance, remembering that she was in a special situation, there was a trace of inexplicable distress in Anthony's heart.

"A small piece of cake will do, not too greasy, and bring over a glass of juice." Xiao Ruotou leaned slightly on the back of the sofa and replied with half-squinted eyes.

Anthony nodded and turned to go.
