Tonight is Xu Lijuan's eighteenth birthday party, and it is also a celebration banquet for her admission to B University.

As the only "little princess" of the three generations of the Xu family, the Xu family specially held a banquet at the Crown Hotel Venice in Beijing's seven-star hotel to entertain guests from all walks of life, so as to lay the foundation for Xu Lijuan to enter the social circle www.biquge.info of celebrities in Beijing.

On this day, from five o'clock in the afternoon, the entrance of the Crown Hotel in Venice has been driven by various famous cars, and everyone who gets off the car is either a high-ranking person or a special talent specializing in a certain aspect, so that the reporters squatting at the door of the hotel frequently press the shutter, and one after another sensational headlines that can definitely earn enough eyeballs and increase the sales of their newspapers and magazines by several percentage points also appear in their minds.

At seven o'clock, under the speech of the old man of the Xu family, the opening dance of Xu Lijuan and Lin Haocang, the prospective fiancée, opened the whole banquet.

The reason why it is said to be a prospective unmarried couple is because the Xu Lin family originally planned to announce the good news of Xu Lijuan and Lin Haocang's engagement at this banquet, but Xu Lijuan suddenly changed her mind, and the Xu family, who has always loved Xu Lijuan, only thought that Xu Lijuan and those girls who were about to marry generally suffered from temporary "marriage phobia", so they did not hesitate to accept it, and the Lin family wanted to object, but because the Xu family was also told about it before the banquet began, they had to swallow the doubts in their hearts. And in Lin Haocang's eyes, when Xu Lijuan started to "do" again, she didn't take this matter to heart.

As soon as the dance ended, Xu Lijuan immediately withdrew her hand, the speed was so fast that Xu Lijuan was led to a remote place without a trace through the dance steps, and Lin Haocang, who also withdrew his hand at this time, was also stunned, and a rare trace of doubt appeared in his eyes.

However, when he saw the indifference on Xu Lijuan's face, the doubts that arose in Lin Haocang's heart immediately disappeared. He secretly cursed a few words in his heart for the villains who were talking nonsense in front of Xu Lijuan, and decided to go back and let them taste their own methods!

The corners of Lin Haocang's mouth hooked up a light smile, looking at Xu Lijuan's eyes with endless tenderness and doting, he took out a small box the size of a palm from his suit pocket, opened it, and inside was a green jade bracelet.

"What a beautiful jade bracelet." Xu Lijuan praised, her fingers lightly twisted on the corner of the white silk satin under the jade bracelet, and quietly pulled the transparent water balloon the size of a small fingernail from the hair ornament after seeing the two of them, and put it on the jade bracelet, and then closed the silk satin, and casually squeezed the transparent water balloon, allowing the liquid inside to penetrate the jade bracelet.

"If you like it." Lin Haocang smiled and grabbed Xu Lijuan's left hand, intending to put the bracelet on Xu Lijuan personally.

Xu Lijuan, who had been prepared, quickly put her arms behind her back and politely refused: "Today's makeup is not suitable for wearing a jade bracelet, thank you Brother Hao for your kindness." ”

It was only at this time that Lin Haocang noticed that Xu Lijuan was wearing a light orange knee-length puffy skirt today, which was sporadically decorated with crystals and pearls of the same color, and she was also wearing a set of pink crystal jewelry, and the overall makeup did not match the bracelet he gave today.

Not only that, in the past, the black hair that was tied into a ponytail at random was also loosely pulled up, only a few strands of hair hung down next to the ears, with the elegant makeup, and the faint smile next to the mouth, but with a little charm, lined with today's makeup, Yu Qingzhong and a little faint **, only to always feel that Xu Lijuan is just a yellow-haired little girl, although she can't talk about disdain for Xu Lijuan, but as long as Xu Lijuan and Sun Manxue stand together, they will feel that Sun Manxue's femininity is strong enough, And Lin Haocang, who admires Sun Manxue more than Xu Lijuan, can't help but shine in front of him.

Xu Lijuan looked back at each other as if she hadn't noticed Lin Haocang's distraction, and occasionally glanced at each other inadvertently, lowering her eyes slightly, seemingly calm, but in fact, from the two points of her fluttering eyelashes and tightly pursed lips, Sun Manxue, who had already stirred up turbulent waves in her heart, sneered lightly in her heart: I can't stand it like this? ! You must know that in her previous life, not long after her miserable death, Sun Manxue immediately fell from heaven to hell as an outcast......

However, Lin Haocang deserved to be the most valued eldest son of the Lin family in this generation, and soon, he came back to his senses, glared at Sun Manxue without a trace, put the bracelet back in the box, and then sent it to Xu Lijuan, and said with a smile: "Sister Juan, I hope I can personally wear this jade bracelet for you tomorrow." ”

Sun Manxue, who deliberately chose a light green knee-length cheongsam, felt sour in her heart, her slightly drooping eyes were full of resentment and jealousy towards Xu Lijuan, she never expected that Xu Lijuan did not wear the cheongsam she specially sent!

"Lijuan, didn't we deliberately say that we would wear the same style of cheongsam, why did you suddenly change your clothes without notifying me......" Sun Manxue hugged Xu Lijuan's arm and complained softly: "It's better for you to change it now, so that Mr. Lin can personally wear this jade bracelet for you in front of everyone." ”

"You don't know, Mr. Lin has put a lot of effort into being able to photograph this jade bracelet with a good water head and color, just to be able to give you a ...... face at today's banquet."

Xu Lijuan pulled away Sun Manxue's arm with a displeased face, took a few steps back, and said, "This dress on my body was specially selected by my mother, representing my mother's love for me. ”

In her previous life, Xu Lijuan listened to Sun Manxue's words and wore a dark green cheongsam, just to match the jade bracelet that Lin Haocang specially bought, but she forgot her age and identity, and turned an eighteen-year-old young girl into a dull young woman in her early thirties. Although everyone attending the banquet did not show any mocking eyes for various reasons, the news that the "little princess" of the Xu family could not dress up in the newspapers and magazines on the second day made Xu Lijuan completely reduced to a joke in high society.

After all, how many young ladies from the family will abandon the expensive and well-fitting dresses specially selected by their relatives at their birthday banquets, and instead choose the hand-sewn dresses sent by the so-called "girlfriends" to show their age, heavy and not fit at all?! In her previous life, Sun Manxue relied on her infatuation with Lin Haocang and the stupidity in her temperament, so she designed her so carelessly, so that she couldn't even say her suffering.

Sun Manxue took a step back, covering her chest with her right hand, her face full of injuries: "Lijuan, although that cheongsam is not worth much, it is also the most expensive fabric and accessories that I personally went to the cloth shop to buy, and then sewed the most suitable dress for you to wear with reference to your temperament and figure." It's okay if you don't thank me, after all, this is what I am willing to do for you, but how can you say that about me......"

Lin Haocang frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Lijuan with a displeased expression: "Sister Juan, this is your mistake, there is an old saying - don't bully young people to be poor." Although Miss Sun's family background is not good, Miss Sun has a brave and indomitable determination to struggle. Who is sure that one day in the future, Miss Sun will not become the storage zài that you and I both need to look up to?! ”

What's more, I have long heard that Miss Sun has a hand that amazes everyone in the world embroidery, and every time she attends the banquet, the dress is sewn by herself, and the style designed has been praised by the internationally renowned Master Allen, and sincerely invites her to go to the United Kingdom to continue her studies. The little dress she specially gave you represents her friendship, which is far from being explained by the phrase 'courtesy is light and affectionate', how can you ridicule her so much? ”

"Really?" Xu Lijuan looked at Lin Haocang, who had a righteous face, and then at Sun Manxue, who was bullied and miserable, and smiled meaningfully: "I didn't expect that Brother Cang knew Manxue so well." ”

After a pause, Xu Lijuan suddenly changed the topic again: "I am friends with Man Xue, and we both say that friends should 'share weal and woe', since I can't use this jade bracelet for the time being, I will transfer it to Man Xue first, I think Brother Cang won't mind, right?" ”

Xu Lijuan took out the jade bracelet and directly dragged Sun Manxue's arm, ignoring Sun Manxue's struggle and shame and embarrassment, she directly put the jade bracelet on Sun Manxue's left wrist, and took a few steps back, tilting her head slightly to admire it.

"By the way, Brother Cang, you are also half the host of the banquet, so please help me greet Man Xue." The words fell, and before Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue could react, Xu Lijuan left, leaving Lin Haocang and Sun Manxue, who were stunned in place, looking at each other with confusion and uneasiness about Xu Lijuan's unreasonable play of cards today.

However, Sun Manxue quickly came back to her senses, and immediately found that Xu Lijuan, who was following Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, was like a fish in water in the crowd, talking to those big people she could only see on TV and magazines, and she couldn't help grinding her teeth, and the jealousy in her heart grew rapidly like mushrooms after a rain.

When Sun Manxue inadvertently looked back, she found that Lin Haocang, who was originally standing beside her, walked in front of her at some point, blocked all her sight, and looked at Xu Lijuan who was scurrying around like a flower butterfly with a stunned face, at that moment, she only felt that the flames of jealousy in her chest were like being poured with several barrels of boiling oil, and the endless hatred and jealousy that emerged from the deepest part of her heart also burned and distorted her beautiful face.

Sun Manxue hurriedly lowered her eyes, her eyelashes blinked, covering up all the viciousness and calculation under her eyes.

At this time, Lin Haocang also came back to his senses, subconsciously raised his hand, and raised the toe of his right foot......

Sun Manxue, who had been paying attention to Lin Haocang's expression, pursed her lips and called softly in time: "Cang." ”

Lin Haocang tilted his head slightly, and asked with his eyes, "Something?" ”

Such an indifferent and self-controlled Lin Haocang, Sun Manxue is the first time to see it. For a moment, she only felt that the tip of her heart was torn to pain, and her hatred for Xu Lijuan deepened a little.

"Let's talk."

Lin Haocang glanced at Sun Manxue faintly, and then looked away again.

Sun Manxue was secretly ruthless in her heart, but a smile seemed to be insightful on her face: "Today's actions of Lijuan made me understand the doubts that have been hovering in my mind for a long time now. As a good partner, I thought I should share these insights with you. ”

Lin Hao stared at Sun Manxue steadily, and when he found that Sun Manxue was not lying and deceived him, he put away his overly sharp eyes: "See you at the old place at 10 o'clock tomorrow." ”

It wasn't until Lin Haocang's figure disappeared from sight that Sun Manxue stroked her chest, slowly spit out the depression that had been held tightly in her chest, looked at it carefully, and found that no one noticed her in a remote corner at all, so she brought the cup in her hand close to her lips and took a sip, and there was a hint of calculation in her slightly drooping eyes.

The corners of Xu Lijuan's mouth, who took in this scene, curled slightly, dug a spoonful of ice cream and put it in her mouth, her long and curly eyelashes covering all the emotions that appeared under her eyes.
