Chapter Twenty-Five: The Old Man Talks
In the rest room upstairs, Yang Wuxing's wife Zhao Feng was playing with her son, to be precise, Zhao Feng was not born as a commoner, she was just the illegitimate daughter of the Zhao family, and she had been living outside with her mother. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info The story between her and Yang Wuxing was simply the closest to Cinderella's fairy tale, after her mother died of illness, the eldest wife of the Zhao family couldn't look down on Zhao Feng, but she didn't dare to be cruel to her, so she sent her to the United States to study, and just gave some money every year, regardless of her life or death outside.
It was in the United States that Zhao Feng met Yang Wuxing, and even Li Zeyuan was their matchmaker, when he established himself abroad relatively early, the patriarch of the Zhao family, who is also Zhao Feng's biological father, asked him to take care of his daughter a little more, at that time Yang Wuxing had become very good friends with Li Zeyuan, and the three of them often acted together, so Zhao Feng and Yang Wuxing had a good impression of each other and had a romantic love.
"Third child, you're finally here!" Zhao Feng stood up with the child in his arms and greeted Li Zeyuan and Zhao Xiaoting.
"Sister-in-law, didn't I bring your brother and sister in mind?" In front of Zhao Feng, Li Zeyuan was more relaxed, although he used to take care of her, but now Zhao Feng is more like his sister.
"Yo, you're finally willing to bring someone here." Zhao Feng glanced at Li Zeyuan with disgust, then put the child in his hand, and pulled Zhao Xiaoting to look up and down, with a smile on his face.
"Hello sister-in-law!" Zhao Xiaoting stood there dryly, letting Zhao Feng look at him.
"Oops, it's so good-looking! It's just cheap for you. Zhao Feng patted the back of Zhao Xiaoting's hand with satisfaction, she has always understood Li Zeyuan's vision, this guy is both picky and difficult.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for the compliment!" Li Zeyuan obediently hugged the child and replied mischievously.
"Come on, come on, Xiaoting sit." Zhao Feng pulled Zhao Xiaoting to sit down, she gave full play to the functions of sister-in-law and sister, asked Zhao Xiaoting's ancestors for eighteen generations carefully, and seriously told Zhao Xiaoting about Li Zeyuan's habits and temper, etc., as if she was a real brother and sister.
Li Zeyuan sat on the side and teased the child, but the child was still too young, and he didn't react much, he gradually became a little bored, looking at the two people who were talking happily, Li Zeyuan handed over the child to the nanny on the side, and paced out leisurely.
Li Zeyuan came to the balcony, he opened the door of the balcony, and the sea breeze greeted him, which was unusually clear and unusual, blowing away the bright light in the room. This place is really well chosen, quiet and luxurious and private, which is completely in line with the habits of the upper class, and of course some unseen things often happen in such places.
Blown by the cold wind, Li Zeyuan, who drank a few glasses of wine, was even more sober, Zhao Xiaoting's performance at the drinking party was seen by himself, to be honest, he was not worried about her performance at all, but the better she behaved, the more lost she became, and the protective desire didn't seem to be applied to her, which made him not disappointed as a man!
"Third brother, why did you run here?" A sweet voice came from behind him.
Li Zeyuan turned around and saw Ally in a short skirt. He had a headache for this pestering little sister: "Ally, have you grown so big?" How are you doing in the UK? ”
"Not bad! But third brother, you are really ruthless, I have been in the UK for three years, and you have never come to see me once! Ally pouted, looking at him disapprovingly.
"I've been very busy all these years, isn't your little girl also busy studying?" Li Zeyuan replied lightly. This girl has a fight with her little niece, and they are not easy to mess with.
"I'm really busy, busy creating gossip for the paparazzi!" Ally said sourly, "But that woman is not bad, smart enough, but a little cold." ”
"Yo, it's rare that our little Ally will praise people! Thank you so much for your high opinion of her. Li Zeyuan was a little surprised in his heart, but he smiled on his face.
"Seriously, it's much better than those celebrity ladies, although it's not as good as me, but it's worthy of you!" Even if Ally is complimenting people, he still doesn't forget to elevate himself.
"Haha, you little girl......" Li Zeyuan was amused by her, this little girl's mind is really pure as water, what to say, I don't know how to hide it at all.
Zhao Xiaoting also came out at this time, she saw the two people on the balcony, thinking if she had encountered such a vulgar cheating plot in the novel again, should she pretend not to see it, and avoid it, she was just about to turn her head, the door on the balcony was opened, and she saw Li Zeyuan and Ally coming over. Zhao Xiaoting frowned almost undetectably, but she didn't expect it to be their pair.
"Xiaoting, this is the little sister of the Yang family, Ally, you should know each other, right?" Li Zeyuan introduced her.
"Oh, I've seen it at the table before, hello Miss Ally!" Zhao Xiaoting nodded at Ally, polite and rusty.
"Ally praised you fiercely just now, this little girl doesn't praise people easily!" Li Zeyuan deliberately hopes that Zhao Xiaoting and Ally will get closer, after all, in Hong Kong, Zhao Xiaoting has no friends, Ally is a good choice, "You can have more contacts in the future, Ally is only one year younger than you, and he is also the same age." ”
"Yes, third sister-in-law! Did I scare you just now? That's kidding you! Ally smiled brightly, changing her previous coldness.
"Oh......" Zhao Xiaoting was a little confused, she didn't know if Ally's current performance was another performance, anyway, she couldn't see Ally's true face clearly, and she didn't dare to say anything easily.
"Hey, I'm really scared! It seems that my acting skills have grown very well, and I am really friends with you, third sister-in-law. Ally grabbed Zhao Xiaoting's arm, enthusiastic, so that Zhao Xiaoting was a little overwhelmed, "I also just came back from the UK, and I don't have any friends in Hong Kong, so let's form a pair, and it won't be so boring in the future, okay?" ”
"Oh...... Good, good! Zhao Xiaoting had no choice but to nod helplessly, she suddenly felt that although they were one year older than each other, they felt at least ten years less psychologically worse.
Li Zeyuan saw that they were chatting well, so he walked away with confidence. Ally was really enthusiastic, she held her along the way and chattered a lot of words, those female guests saw Ally's attitude towards Zhao Xiaoting, they all came to compliment the two of them, and for a while, Zhao Xiaoting was surrounded by various aromas.
After Zhao Feng settled his son, he also followed her husband to welcome the guests. The music downstairs started again, and several pairs of men and women began to dance in the middle of the hall. Ally was also invited to participate in the dancing, Zhao Xiaoting breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly stepped back, Ally was really a little talker, telling her everything, especially some of Li Zeyuan's past.
Zhao Xiaoting thought about Ally's words as she walked, and she didn't have any idea what had changed around her until she was blocked in her way. Zhao Xiaoting looked up and saw that he was a handsome strange man.
"Miss Zhao, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dance?" The man gentlemanly stretched out his hand and bent down slightly.
"Oh...... ......" As soon as Zhao Xiaoting opened her mouth to refuse, her hand was held by another person.
"Excuse me, Mr. Hong! My fiancée's first dance, I wish I had danced with her! Holding Zhao Xiaoting's hand, Li Zeyuan didn't know where he came from, Zhao Xiaoting looked up at him suspiciously, but he should also thank him for relieving himself.
"Mr. Li is right, I have overpassed." The man surnamed Hong was not embarrassed and walked away.
Li Zeyuan pulled Zhao Xiaoting into the center of the hall, held her waist, and danced slowly. Zhao Xiaoting's dance was also learned during this time, the most basic can be handled, and if it is a little complicated, I dare not guarantee that it will not go wrong, so at the beginning, her body was stiff, although there was no mistake, but it was indeed not very beautiful.
Some of the female guests standing around whispered about Zhao Xiaoting's dancing, secretly laughing at the fact that it was really a toad, although she ate swan meat, she still couldn't become a swan after all! Molly also stood aside, staring at Zhao Xiaoting in the middle. Her eyes are terrible with viciousness, she is unwilling, she is obviously more talented and good-looking than her, this little girl is simply a village girl, wearing T-shirts and shorts every day, if it weren't for that long hair, she is no different from a boy, but such a woman who looks like a man actually wants to marry the first king of Hong Kong, and she can only marry a short and fat Tian Dong, who is greedy for money, and she is still so old, she can't satisfy her young heart except money.
Zhao Xiaoting danced a little embarrassed, she knew that her dancing was really not good-looking, and she didn't like dancing very much, so she had to gently stick to Li Zeyuan's ear and say that she didn't want to dance. But Li Zeyuan didn't let her go, and comforted her softly in her ear: "Just follow me, don't worry about that!" Your foundation is good, but you have less actual combat experience, so I'll accompany you to jump more in the future. ”
Zhao Xiaoting really wanted to roll her eyes, isn't this question good? She just didn't like the sport at all.
At the end of one session, Zhao Xiaoting had been carrying the heart thinking that it could land safely, but she didn't expect Li Zeyuan to start a new dance step as if she was addicted to dancing, Zhao Xiaoting reluctantly followed him and jumped up again, they danced three tunes in a row, and finally Zhao Xiaoting began to beg Li Zeyuan to finish, she was wearing such high heels too high, and her feet would still hurt after dancing for so long.
Li Zeyuan thoughtfully walked out of the dance floor with Zhao Xiaoting's waist, she gently leaned on Li Zeyuan, moved part of the weight of her body to Li Zeyuan, and suddenly her feet were a lot easier. They sat on the sofa on the side to rest, Ally came over and chatted with Zhao Xiaoting, her dancing style has been since elementary school, so she danced very elegantly and noblely, she agreed with Zhao Xiaoting to teach Zhao Xiaoting to dance in the future, she asked herself that she could definitely teach Zhao Xiaoting, not to mention that Ally is a girl, as long as she includes you as her friend, she will treat you wholeheartedly, so although she is not suitable for Ally's enthusiasm, Zhao Xiaoting also feels that it is not bad to have such a good friend.
Ally invited Li Zeyuan to dance, Li Zeyuan didn't refuse, Zhao Xiaoting looked at Ally, who was also chattering with Li Zeyuan, and couldn't help but smile, such a little girl is so cute, so cute that it makes people feel warm.
"Mind if I sit here?" Molly held a glass of champagne and looked at Zhao Xiaoting with an elegant expression.
"Please!" Zhao Xiaoting's heart flashed a twitch, she knew that Molly's coming this time must not be a good thing.
"Thank you!" Molly sat next to her, she was wearing a satin, creamy white dress, and her wavy hair was draped over her shoulders, which was elegant and somewhat wild and sexy.
Molly sat for a while without speaking, Zhao Xiaoting turned her head to look at Li Zeyuan and Ally on the dance floor, deliberately ignoring Molly's existence.
"You're so lucky to have lost your job but found a good man!" After a long time, Molly finally lifted her lips lightly, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.
"Isn't Miss Molly also married to a rich man?" Zhao Xiaoting raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect Molly to dare to be so direct on this occasion.
"Oh, indeed! Looks like everyone has a good place to go. Molly took a sip of champagne and lowered her eyelids.
Zhao Xiaoting looked at her and looked away, staring at the small vase on the table in a daze.
"Zhao Xiaoting really didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion, and we were still in this capacity when we met!" Molly smiled, to be honest, Zhao Xiaoting has always felt that Molly is the kind of stunner who is fascinated by men, but looking at her current gaffe, I can't help but be a little curious about how unfortunate her married life is to make her become like this.
"Life is impermanent!" Zhao Xiaoting is still faint, even if she is a little disdainful and sympathetic to the current Molly, but thinking that she is also hiding behind a man for money, there is actually no difference between them.
Molly looked at Zhao Xiaoting, she is indeed very beautiful, she just didn't know how to dress up and didn't find out her beauty, but now she has been discovered by Li Zeyuan, the whole person is completely different, youth is capital, such beauty is even more powerful, if she didn't choose the wrong path at the beginning, she may marry better than Zhao Xiaoting now.
"This is my phone, if I have time, I hope we can come out and chat, have tea, we don't have any friends in Hong Kong, I hope we can be friends and rely on each other." Molly's eyes were a little desolate, as if she was really looking forward to becoming friends with Zhao Xiaoting.
Zhao Xiaoting took the piece of paper with the phone number written on it, although she took this number, it does not mean that she will be willing to be friends with Molly, she is full of defense against this woman, even if she has no malicious intent, but there is no guarantee that her husband will catch herself through her, and then catch Li Zeyuan, she never wants to get involved in Li Zeyuan's career, so she will not accept anyone who wants to have a relationship with Li Zeyuan from her.
