Liu Zhao took off his mink fur coat and handed it to the servant at the door, carefully looking at the palatial hall of the An family.

The chandelier on the roof, decorated with a large number of multi-prismatic crystal balls, like countless prisms, reflected the golden light into a brilliant light, shining on all corners of the house, and the floor with the scent of solid wood was polished as smooth as a mirror.

The living and dining rooms are divided into two areas by mahogany handrails that lead upstairs. The sofa in the living room is comfortable and soft, and the long mahogany dining table in the dining room is already lined with delicate tableware.

When An Yang and his wife appeared at the door with Liu Zhao, all the chattering people in the living room stopped talking and looked at Liu Zhao who was standing beside Qi Yali.

Today, Liu Zhao wore a blue pure color improved brocade cheongsam, with gold piping and gold buckles. Outside the ingot-shaped high neck, there is a string of pearl necklaces of uniform size like thumbs, which emit a natural milky white halo against the background of the azure clothing.

The chest and hem of the solid color cheongsam are embroidered with a few Yao yellow peonies, and under the half-sleeved fabric, the snow-white lotus arms are slender and slender, and a simple metal bracelet is worn on the wrist, and a string of transparent tourmaline-like beads are worn.

is like a lady from the Republic of China period who walked out of the painting, with bright eyes, all kinds of people have become her foil.

Qi Yali had long expected that Liu Zhao's arrival would cause the amazement of her family and friends, ignoring the sudden silence in the house, she led Liu Zhao to the front of An Yang's parents.

"Mom and Dad, this is Liu Zhao who saved me." Qi Yali pushed Liu Zhao in front of a couple in their sixtieth year and solemnly introduced.

"Miss Liu, I always hear Yali mention you, and I finally met the real person today!" The noble old lady An smiled, pulled Liu Zhao to her side, and sat with her.

"What a watery girl!" The old lady looked at Liu Zhao's clothes and knew that the girl in front of her must have a very good background, "I don't know where your home is, girl?" ”

Liu Zhao smiled lightly, looked around at the crowd around him who were listening with their ears, and said without humility or arrogance: "Old lady, my family originally lived in the capital, and later moved to T City. Growing up with his grandmother since he was a child, his parents ......" said this, Liu Zhao's expression was gloomy, "My parents died early." ”

"Poor sight!" Mrs. An's hand gently stroked the back of Liu Zhao's smooth hand, and she sympathized with this helpless orphan girl in her heart.

"Cut, it turned out to be a small citizen, I thought it was the eldest lady of which house!" A familiar and mean voice sounded, and Lannie, who was sitting in the corner, squeezed Liu Zhao with a smug expression.

Liu Zhao narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lanny, whose gray face was covered by thick fat powder, and smiled: "Not long ago, Miss Lan was slightly ill, I don't know how the doctor diagnosed it?" ”

"You!" Lani suddenly remembered that her cultivation might have been ruined by Liu Zhao, and a trace of fear rose in her heart, she turned her head angrily and stopped talking.

"Now that everyone is here, let's start the dinner!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Mr. An simply stood up and took the lead towards the restaurant.

In the midst of the staggering, a dinner party with a fairly harmonious atmosphere began.

In the corner of the living room, Lannie didn't leave her seat immediately. She secretly took out her phone and dialed a number.

Later, after the phone was connected, she whispered: "Teacher, that Liu Zhao is at An Yang's house now, and I will inform you when she goes back!" ”

"Okay, keep in touch!" He Shuzhen's cold voice came from the other side of the phone.

The dining table was filled with silver cutlery, goblets, cruet flasks and all sorts of small glasses. Sitting next to Liu Zhao was Qi Yali's aunt, who was looking at Liu Zhao's pearl necklace with her eyes.

"Miss Liu, is your necklace real?" Suddenly, she asked very impolitely.

Liu Zhao raised his eyelids, and he didn't even sweep the corner of his eye to the woman. Shaking the goblet and sniffing the red wine in the glass.

"Miss Liu, let me ask you, why don't you pay attention to people?" The woman was a little angry by Liu Zhao's cold attitude, and she raised her voice and asked.

"Oh?" Liu Zhao turned his face sideways, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "I don't know what you asked me just now?" ”

"I ask you, is the pearl on your neck real?" The woman's voice rose again so that everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Qi Yali's face became very embarrassed, and she whispered to the woman, "Auntie, how can you talk like that? ”

"I ask what's wrong?" The woman still didn't know that she had lost her niece's face in front of the An family, and asked confidently.

"Okay, you can say a few words, let the connoisseurs listen to the joke and you don't know it!" Lanny's father interrupted the woman's argument in a loud voice.

"Miss Liu, don't mind, this one in my family just likes jewelry, and he is usually straightforward, offended!" Mr. Lan smirked, and there was no real apology between his words.

Liu Zhao smiled slightly, didn't answer, lowered his thick eyelashes, and quietly tasted the red wine in the glass.

"Miss Liu, if this string of pearls is real, if you make a price, I am willing to pay double the price to buy it." Mrs. Lan put away the arrogant look on her face, changed her tone of discussion and said to Liu Zhao, her eyes kept staring at the pearl that was glowing and warm by the light.

"This lady, I'm not down enough to sell my heirloom jewelry." Liu Zhao said impatiently, too lazy to look at this uneducated woman again.

Since then, Liu Zhao has been cold to everyone present. When faced with a polite question, she simply replied. If someone makes a disrespectful remark, she simply treats the other party as air and owes not a word.

Finally, after the old Western table clock in the living room had struck a few times, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

Liu Zhao stood up, and after greeting several old people from the An family again, he was about to say goodbye.

"Liu Zhao, this dark road is slippery, or you won't leave tonight!" Qi Yali took Liu Zhao's hand and kept it.

"Thank you, Sister Yali, I'm not used to spending the night outside, you don't have to worry!" Liu Zhao patted Qi Yali's hand and insisted on leaving.

"An Yang, you send Liu Zhao back, it's so late, she's a girl, I'm really not at ease!" Qi Yali called An Yang, who was drinking tea with a few friends, and asked him to drive Liu Zhao back.

After repeated refusals, Liu Zhao reluctantly accepted Qi Yali's concern, and accompanied by An Yang, walked out of Anjia Villa.

Liu Zhao, who was affected by the atmosphere at the dinner, was silent all the way. An Yang looked at her stiff face from time to time, and uneasiness flashed in her eyes.

It wasn't until the car drove out of the city and drove slowly on the winding mountain road that An Yang cleared his throat and asked in a low voice, "Are you still angry?" Don't keep a straight face, okay? ”

"An Yang, excuse me, don't pull me on such occasions in the future! You know, I'm the last thing I like to deal with people. ”

"Okay, it's my fault this time, and it will never happen again!" An Yang didn't care about Liu Zhao's stiff tone, and still comforted her in a low voice.

"I know, in fact, I don't blame you and Sister Yali, the best are everywhere!" Liu Zhao shook his head and sighed.

"Yali's mother has a lot of sisters, and since my mother-in-law married into the Qi family, her aunts have always used various reasons to get involved in the Qi family's circle, and we can't avoid them." An Yang thought of those superb relatives of his mother-in-law's family, and patted the steering wheel hatefully.

"Hey, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, or I am free, one person is full, and the whole family is not hungry!" Sensing the temperature rise in the car, she took off her mink fur coat, and her bracelet-wearing hand unconsciously stroked the plump fox sweater collar on the leather coat.
