Since knowing Li Zeyuan's family history, when Zhao Xiaoting took the gift prepared by Li Zhihe to them, they were also calm. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info stayed at home for a few days, and the little uncle Zhao Mingshun drove them to the airport, and originally said that he would take his parents to Guangzhou to meet his in-laws, but after knowing the identity of his in-laws, Zhao Mingyao and his wife became nervous.

After a two-hour flight, we finally arrived at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. After making an appointment with his in-laws for three days, Li Zeyuan sent them to the hotel, and rushed back to Hong Kong because they still had work, leaving the driver to them -- it was more convenient to have a driver wherever they went.

Zhao Xiaoting took her parents to Beijing Road to feel the excitement of the Spring Festival Railway Station, there are many historical relics hidden on Beijing Road, which is very suitable for her father, but Zhao Xiaoting and her mother prefer all kinds of food on Beijing Road, there is a small store on Beijing Road, which is Thai food, and the taste is very good.

Three days passed quickly, Zhao's mother was a shopaholic, plus she had to meet with such a famous person, so she took it for granted that she bought a lot of clothes like crazy, of course, the price was expensive, Zhao Xiaoting wanted to use the deputy card given by Li Zeyuan, but Zhao's father and Zhao's mother insisted on paying the bill by themselves.

On the day of the meeting, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother specially wore a gift from Li Zhihe, thinking that it was a very tense meeting, but they didn't expect it to be very smooth, Li Zhihe and Chen Meihua came to meet them, and Zhang Bihua had the same excuse - not in good health!

After the meeting, Zhao's father was worried about the vegetable garden and fruit trees at home, and he didn't stay long, and got on the train home directly, bringing large bags of things, half of which were bought by Zhao's mother, and the other half were given by Li Zhihe, including jewelry, nutritional products, etc., fortunately, Li Zeyuan discussed with Li Zhihe in advance, otherwise Li Zhihe would really give them a villa.

On the first day of return, sister-in-law Chen Meihua specially called Zhao Xiaoting and conveyed Li Zhihe's meaning: First, they will hold an engagement ceremony in the near future, and the wedding date has been scheduled for August 16, and half a year is enough time to prepare, so the engagement ceremony should be simple - this is exactly what Zhao Xiaoting wants! The second is that after getting engaged, she is also justified, and she is going to move back to the old house! This is more of a headache, which means that you have to enter that family in advance, and maybe you will encounter the dark side of those wealthy families in advance...... But either way, it's already a given!

The engagement time was quickly set, four days before the Spring Festival, there was not much time to prepare, because she didn't want to be too complicated, so she didn't need to do more, but in order not to make a fool of herself, she began to increase the proportion of physical classes and etiquette classes. Social dancing is also essential, Zhao Xiaoting's every day is still full, and she is also pulled by her sister-in-law to do beauty care, Zhao Xiaoting finally realized the hard work of wealthy ladies, it seems that women can only dress up desperately for the face of their husbands, and there is no space for their own life.

The engagement ceremony is about to come soon, Li Zeyuan has been very busy, so Zhao Xiaoting is also handling the matter of moving back to the old house, in fact, there are not many things, Li Zeyuan's things can basically not be taken back, and his own can be selectively taken back, but I suddenly feel that my future life will not be so simple and casual, and I feel a little emotional.

The day before the engagement, Zhao Xiaoting had returned to the old mansion to live, still in Li Zeyuan's room. It wasn't until dinner time that Li Zeyuan came home, it had been two weeks since the last time the two met, and during this time, I heard that he had been on a business trip abroad for a week, and he didn't know what he was busy with, the two didn't have much contact, and they didn't look like the two who were about to get married.

At the table, everyone tacitly bowed their heads and ate seriously, it was rare that the little mother did not find the stubble of the sister-in-law, although there was nothing to say, but the scene still looked very harmonious.

After the meal, each went back to his room! Zhao Xiaoting and Li Zeyuan were still speechless. She didn't know why the two of them suddenly became like this, obviously the two of them were talking and laughing like close old friends last time, why did they suddenly become so cold this time, or was Li Zeyuan tired?

As a result, the two really didn't communicate a word all night, Zhao Xiaoting got up early in the morning and went to the hotel to prepare, their engagement banquet was held in the hotel, and only invited the Li family's business partners and world friends, as well as a few friends of Li Zeyuan.

Zhao Xiaoting's engagement dress is a traditional red cheongsam embellished with a pattern of birds and phoenixes. This dress was not so much chosen by Zhao Xiaoting and Li Zeyuan together, but rather unilaterally decided by Li Zeyuan, and it was not ugly to say to his liking and Zhao Xiaoting was not ugly, that's all. Zhao Xiaoting felt that she was completely familiar with red and even a little aesthetically fatigued, and she felt that she had worn red clothes all the times in her life in the past few months.

Li Zeyuan was still wearing a black suit as always, Li Zhihe came to the stage to speak, and then the couple came to the stage to accept everyone's blessings...... The procedure is very simple, and the guests present are arranged to have a buffet cold meal, but this is the first time Li Zeyuan has taken Zhao Xiaoting to meet his friends.

"Ouch, the third brother is finally willing to bring your precious lady to our brother to have a look!" It was a fair-skinned young man who spoke, but those peach blossom eyes made Zhao Xiaoting not very comfortable, as if he could see through some things about himself.

"Hey, don't be too big or too small! I want to call the third sister-in-law! Another man with glasses bumped the fair-skinned man's shoulder, but with a teasing smile in his tone.

"Hello third sister-in-law! I'm Ah Ken! This is Eric and this is Frank. The man in a short jacket and Martin boots introduced Zhao Xiaoting politely and thoughtfully. It turned out that the fair-skinned man was named Eric, and the one with the glasses was Frank.

"Hello!" Zhao Xiaoting looked at these three men with different characteristics, and then looked at Li Zeyuan who was smiling beside her, and could see that the relationship between these four people was very good.

"Third sister-in-law, you're welcome! It's just a pity that Boss Yang couldn't come! "Is it really that people with glasses are more gentlemen than gentlemen? Frank is much more reliable than Eric.

"Boss Yang?" Zhao Xiaoting looked at Li Zeyuan suspiciously, this title sounds like it has something to do with the underworld.

"He is the eldest son of the Yang family, and we have always had a good relationship. Originally, he and his wife were going to come over for the engagement ceremony, but unfortunately, his sister-in-law had just given birth to a boy two days ago, so he didn't have time to come. I'll take you to see them when they're full moon! Li Zeyuan explained.

"That's it! No one expected such a coincidence that my sister-in-law would give birth in the past two days, and it was clear that the due date would not be more than a week away! Eric exclaimed.

From their discussion, Zhao Xiaoting found that Boss Yang had an unusual status among them, and seemed to be more respected than Li Zeyuan, and should be the leader of this group.

"Hey, don't just stand up. This is the first appearance of the third sister-in-law, and we respect the third sister-in-law! Frank gestured to Zhao Xiaoting with a goblet, and several other people raised their glasses to clink glasses with Zhao Xiaoting, Zhao Xiaoting did not refuse, and drank it all, and the other three called the third sister-in-law a good amount of wine!

Zhao Xiaoting followed Li Zeyuan and clinked glasses and drank with the people present to accept blessings, but Eric and the others muttered behind their backs and didn't know what to say, in short, they looked a little ill-intentioned.

After going around the scene, Zhao Xiaoting drank a lot of wine, but she was still sober. Eric saw Li Zeyuan chatting with others and leaving Zhao Xiaoting aside, so he took two glasses of wine and went over to chat with Zhao Xiaoting.

"Third sister-in-law!" Eric handed her the wine in his hand.

"Thank you!" Zhao Xiaoting took the wine glass and took a sip gently. She was a little curious about Eric, she had checked Li Zeyuan's relevant information, and it seemed that she had seen Eric in the photo, but she didn't remember what the specific situation was.

"Third brother must not have mentioned a few of us to you, right?" Eric watched her drink, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes, "Actually, we haven't seen the third brother and other women besides you for many years, so we feel very happy when we meet, and of course there are no surprises." I also know a little about your background, but I didn't expect the third brother's favorite woman to be yours. ”

"I'm also surprised that my one can get into his eyes!" Zhao Xiaoting replied with an unchanged expression.

"Third sister-in-law, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything derogatory. I just didn't expect that a man with his personality couldn't actually think of what a woman suitable for him would be. Eric hurriedly explained, for fear that Zhao Xiaoting would misunderstand.

"Actually, at first, I wasn't sure if I was suitable to be with him, but now, those doubts in my heart have gradually dissipated. People have to be forced to walk in order to know whether the road ahead is good or not, but since they have walked to the front, even if it is not easy to walk, it is impossible to go back! ”

"The third sister-in-law seems to be very philosophical! No wonder my third brother takes a fancy to you! ”

"There are many detours, and there will always be some insights!"

"It seems that the third sister-in-law didn't have a very good time before she met the third brother!"

"There's nothing wrong with that! It's just that meeting him opens up another life. Have you known Sawagaki since childhood? ”

"No, to be exact, we got acquainted with each other abroad, several of us were exiled abroad, and you know how kind and rare it is to meet fellow countrymen abroad, so we quickly got acquainted with each other. However, Boss Yang is the biggest among us, followed by the third brother, the reason why he is called the third brother is also to follow his ranking at home, and the second is not a good word. ”

"And what does Eric do?"

"I'm a doctor, specializing in brains; Frank is in business like the third brother; Ken is a pilot; Boss Yang is the owner of Hong Kong's largest entertainment company......"

"Sure enough, they are all social elites!"

"I can't be called an elite, I just have a job that I don't hate. What are the plans of the third sister-in-law after getting married? Is it simply to be the wife of the third brother or to break into his own career? ”

"Well, I had a preliminary consideration, maybe I went to study first, I wanted to learn a lot of things before, but I didn't have the opportunity, and now I want to enrich myself."

"It seems that the third sister-in-law is very motivated! It's more interesting to have a life of pursuit, what hobbies does the third sister-in-law usually have? There is time for everyone to get together, this kind of occasion is really not suitable for chatting! ”

"I don't have any hobbies, let's get together again if we have time!"

……

The engagement ceremony was not made very late, and even the dinner was enjoyed by the family in the old house, from this day on, Zhao Xiaoting was the legitimate daughter-in-law of the Li family, and all kinds of treatment were also on par with the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. In fact, they have a fixed amount of money for them every month for each room, which is equivalent to the monthly routine of large families in the past, Zhao Xiaoting doesn't know if other wealthy families have such customs, anyway, she thinks it's quite scary, and the money every month is really a lot, basically she doesn't need it!

Before going to bed at night, Li Zeyuan still had nothing to say to Zhao Xiaoting. Zhao Xiaoting felt more and more strange, and after thinking about it, she couldn't find what she did wrong, so she treated herself like this.

"Li Zeyuan, do you remember our original agreement?" Zhao Xiaoting sat on the edge of the bed after taking a shower and looked at Li Zeyuan, who was sitting on the bed reading a book, "I remember, no matter what, we confessed to each other!" Even if it's your business, as long as it doesn't affect our relationship, I won't ask about it, but now you obviously want a cold war! Although I don't care, I don't want to be concerned about the relationship between husband and wife as soon as I enter your house! ”

"It's nothing, it's just that I've been busy with work lately, and you've done a good job, and they'll understand!" Li Zeyuan put down the book and pressed his eyebrows, he saw more clearly after being separated from Zhao Xiaoting during this time, in just two or three months, she seemed to have fully adapted to this kind of life, and she could let go of herself, but if she let go like this, she felt a little strange.

"You don't need to use this classic excuse! I don't believe it! Zhao Xiaoting shook her hand exaggeratedly, completely disbelieving his rhetoric.

"And what do you think I should say?" Li Zeyuan looked at the eccentric Hao Xiaoting, and his whole body seemed to relax.

"Where do I know your reason, it's just that you've been a little abnormal during this time!" Zhao Xiaoting also got into the quilt and sat side by side with Li Zeyuan. It's just that she has a thick dictionary-like book in her hand.

"What is this?" Li Zeyuan leaned over and looked at the words on it.

"Oh, it's Mr. Mu Xin's "Literary Memoirs", when I was in college, I accidentally saw someone recommending it, but the school library didn't have it, I couldn't find it after looking for it on the Internet for a long time, and then I saw it in a bookstore on Beijing Road and immediately bought it! But this book is very difficult to read, and I have read less than a third of it after reading it for so long! It can be seen that Zhao Xiaoting took it very seriously and made a lot of notes on it, especially adding a lot of content from the book.

"You like literature so much, why didn't you apply for the Chinese Department or the History Department in the first place?"

"Hey! At that time, I was young and utilitarian, so I wanted to learn languages, but unfortunately I couldn't get into the few languages I applied for, so I was transferred to journalism. Now that I think about it, it's better to choose Chinese in the first place. ”

"It's too late to regret it now, but it's not bad to continue as a hobby, and the Chinese have a saying about 'poetry and books in the belly'."

"You even know that! It's absolutely stunning! Zhao Xiaoting looked at Li Zeyuan in surprise, this guy really refreshed her understanding of Hong Kong people again and again.

"I know so much more! Go to sleep! Good night! Li Zeyuan kissed Zhao Xiaoting's forehead and lay down.
