"I don't know what to say, that day my mother met Lu to see him, at that time in the hotel restaurant, my mother said something, I called him so many times today, and I didn't answer, and then he called, and he hung up inexplicably before he said a word." Tang Xiaoxiao lifted the hem of her skirt and put it down again, there was a pull, and the small movements continued, showing her inner anxiety.

"Ah, you said he met your mother, and something unpleasant happened?"

Liu Juan stood next to her and exclaimed, just wanted to say that Xu Yiming was probably scared away and didn't dare to come. But seeing Tang Xiaoxiao, whose face was full of anxiety, suddenly changed his tone.

"If he is really that kind of person, he retires when he encounters a little setback, then such a boy has nothing to look forward to."

"Sister Juan, in fact, it's better if he doesn't come, otherwise my mother will make things difficult for him again in a while!" Tang Xiaoxiao suffers from gains and losses.

Liu Juan couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Okay, don't think so much, you are wearing a dress, there are many mosquitoes outside in summer, go in early, the dinner will start in a while!" ”

Tang Xiaoxiao shook his head, stroked the hair blocking his eyes with his hand, and said softly: "It's okay, wait a while!" ”

"It's not a matter for you to wait like this, today you are the princess of this castle!" Liu Juan said, "Otherwise, you go in first, I'm here, wait first, when he comes, I'll take him inside, how about it?" ”

At this moment, Tang Xiaoxiao's phone suddenly rang, and her eyes lit up.

Liu Juan hurriedly asked, "How is it, did that kid call you?" ”

"No, it's my mom!" Tang Xiaoxiao looked at the caller ID of her mobile phone, said with some loss, and answered the phone, "Mom, are you looking for me......"

"Xiaoxiao, where did you go? The banquet is about to start, why are you still running around! Tan Qing's anxious voice came from the phone.

"I'm waiting at the gate...... I'm going to go inside now......"

Tang Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, and Liu Juan said, "Your mother is looking for you, go back quickly, I'll guard my side, you don't have to worry!" ”

"Well, Sister Juan, if he doesn't come at that time, you can go inside first!" Tang Xiaoxiao carried the dress with an overly long skirt, thinking about walking inside.

Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao and turning around three times, looking like she was out of her mind, Liu Juan felt that this stupid girl was really hopeless, and it was a little worthless to toss so much for a cowardly kid who didn't take responsibility.

Tang Xiaoxiao walked back to the villa building, there were more and more guests in the hall, many unfamiliar faces she didn't know, and there were many young talents and celebrities in public.

Her mother is greeting guests, and her father is also greeting guests, and today's birthday dinner is the first birthday to come to Jiangcheng with the transfer of her father's work.

Seeing her daughter come in, Tan Qing, who was talking to a noble lady, was busy beckoning to her, "Come here!" ”

"Mom, are you looking for me?" Tang Xiaoxiao walked over very consciously, and she knew that her mother was going to introduce her out of Lu again.

Sure enough, as soon as she walked to her mother Tan Qing's side, she was pulled along.

"It's your birthday, how can you run around!" Tan Qing said to the woman next to her, "Let me introduce you, this is your Aunt Wang!" ”

"Hello Aunt Wang!" Tang Xiaoxiao said hello, she knew the woman in front of her, who was Deng Lei's mother and her mother's close friend.

"Happy birthday Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen Xiaoxiao for three years, I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to become a big girl, it's so beautiful!" The woman held Tang Xiaoxiao's palm and held it all the time, wanting to look at her future daughter-in-law.

"Qing'er, Xiaoxiao is exactly the same as your young one, just as beautiful!" Wang Lihua looked at Tan Qing, whose face was radiant, and said with envy.

"What are you talking about, you're old, of course, who doesn't know that you are a flower of the Normal University!" Tan Qingjiao said with a smile, although her words revealed modesty, but the smug look in her eyes showed that she was indeed a beauty embryo back then.

Seeing that his mother was chatting with his close friends, Tang Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to him thinking about someone, was a little absent-minded, so he said to Tan Qing, "Mom, you talk to Aunt Wang first, there is still some time before the dinner starts, I'll pick up a few friends!" ”

As he spoke, he nodded to the woman, and turned to walk out of the hall.

Tan Qing hurriedly followed, "Xiaoxiao, aren't all your friends here?" The party is about to start, don't run around, otherwise I won't be able to find you for a while, and I'll introduce you to some uncles and uncles with your father in a while, this is your first birthday in Jiangcheng, can you be sloppy! ”

The reason why Tan Qing spent so much energy to organize a birthday dinner for Tang Xiaoxiao was indeed to let her baby daughter appear in the eyes of some people in Jiangcheng.

Tang Xiaoxiao went to the restaurant to work as a waitress in a low-key manner, and almost lost her life, Tan Qingcai decided to hold a grand birthday dinner for her after she recovered, just to announce the existence of her daughter like some people in Jiangcheng.

At this time, Tan Qing's mind subconsciously appeared in the voice of the thin boy, the kid who didn't eat oil and salt, which really made her have a bad impression.

"I know what to do, but this matter, you can just come out with my father, I don't know anything here, my friends are still outside, I'll go and greet them, what's the matter, let's talk about it at the beginning of the dinner!"

As he spoke, Tang Xiaoxiao turned around and ran outside.

Tan Qing shook his head a little helplessly, still a little uneasy, "Don't run away, you'll be in the hall later!" ”

With that, he turned back to the welcome hall.

"Mr. Jiang is also here, hello, please come in, please come in!"

"Mayor Wang also said, Ma Ru is waiting for you inside, thank you for being able to come and visit the little girl's birthday dinner in your busy schedule!"

“……”

Tan Qing greeted the guests with a smile on her face outside the reception hall, including her husband's good friends from the municipal government, as well as leaders from all walks of life in Jiangcheng.

Anyway, the people who can appear here in the invitation list are all characters with heads and faces.

……

"Smack!" Some paper flowers suddenly exploded in the sky, scattered one after another, and the brilliant incomparable fireworks rain instantly changed the entire night sky.

The courtyard lawn of the villa is brightly lit and bright, and neon lights surround the trees around the yard, glowing at night.

It was destined to be a lively night, and in all corners of the yard, the melodious piano music of "Happy Birthday" from the speakers sounded.

In the hall of the villa, the piano music of the speaker suddenly sounded, conveying the gentle voice of the host of the dinner, "Guests, welcome to the manor as guests, this will be a sleepless night, our beautiful Miss Tang will also usher in the most important day of her life, welcome all guests to witness, this happy moment!" ”

At this time, everyone's eyes are on the staircase of the villa covered with red carpets, waiting for the appearance of today's protagonist.

Guided by the spotlights, everyone saw a girl in an evening dress walking down the staircase.

Some people had already clenched the gifts in their hands, waiting for Tang Xiaoxiao to appear and come to a gorgeous gift. The crowd consciously formed a huge semicircle, all staring at Tang Xiaoxiao, who was about to appear at the entrance of the building.

The voice of the beautiful hostess sounded again, "Now, our beautiful princess is about to appear!" ”

The host took the microphone, and when she said this, her voice suddenly paused, and when she felt that everyone's emotions were almost mobilized by her, she said again, "I invite our protagonist of this dinner, Miss Tang Xiaoxiao, please cheer for her!" ”

The melodious piano music sounded again, and suddenly all the lights in the villa hall suddenly went out, and it was pitch black, and everyone was in an uproar.

Suddenly, a spotlight lit up again, and before everyone could react, a huge beam of light suddenly hit the entrance of the corridor on the second floor of the hall.

Appearing in the beam of light is a noble-looking girl in a black evening dress, at this moment, so everyone knows that under the bright light, the girl wearing black with a mysterious color is the most dazzling girl tonight - Tang Xiaoxiao.

The lights in the hall turned on again, and Tang Xiaoxiao, who was wearing a black bandeau evening dress, was undoubtedly the most dazzling princess in this villa manor.

With the ornate crystal chandelier overhead, the marble floor under the floor clean enough to reflect the ceiling, and the glow of the two, a waterfall hair coiled up, revealing a slender neck, and the graceful evening dress that wrapped around her, she was undoubtedly the princess in the eyes of the banquet.

Tan Qing was very satisfied with the envious gaze of the young men and women who followed their parents around him when they looked at their daughter.

The company of applause, the crowd of countless followers, all of this is definitely the target of the envy of all girls. On the soft red carpet, Tang Xiaoxiao raised his firm head and walked to the stage built in the center of the hall, surrounding him.

Tang Xiaoxiao bowed deeply to everyone, a perfect arc of ninety degrees, and then took the microphone from the beautiful hostess standing next to her.

"Hello everyone, my name is Tang Xiaoxiao, today is the eighteenth birthday, thank you for being able to come to my birthday party and witness my coming-of-age ceremony, my parents and I welcome everyone!"

As soon as Tang's voice fell, the audience applauded.

Tan Qing next to her looked at her daughter standing on the stage, lying on her husband's shoulder and crying, "Our daughter has finally grown up!" ”

"Tiny ,...... How do you like it or not, my mother was hosted by you. ”

Holding her daughter's arm, Tan Qing still said proudly, she has always felt indebted to her daughter, and today she spent so much energy preparing this dinner.

At this moment, she felt that her daughter was the best baby Sheng Tian gave her.

Compared with Tan Qing's excitement, Tang Xiaoxiao was like a puppet with a string, looking left and right, staring at the entrance of the hall all the time, as if he was expecting something to come.

Looking at the crowd of shopkeepers in the hall, applauding and cheering for her, Tang Xiaoxin was silent.

The party began, and when she saw Liu Juan walking towards her outside the hall, when there was only one person, her face changed significantly, full of loss.

He didn't come in the end.
