Chapter 3: Beautiful
On the boulevard at the exit of the campus, Xue Xiao and Ling Youyou walked forward side by side. The appearance of the two is outstanding in the whole school, and walking together is undoubtedly a beautiful landscape, which has attracted the frequent attention of the surrounding teachers and students.
There is a grand banquet in the Xue family's old mansion tonight, which is to celebrate the 70th birthday of the old man of the Xue family, and all the celebrities in Beicheng have been invited to attend the old man's birthday banquet.
Ling Youyou restrained his usual grinning and heartless appearance, and looked at Xue Xiao, who was silent beside him, with a worried expression: "Xiaoxiao, you don't look very good, are you okay......?"
"I'm fine, don't worry, they can't bully me." Before Ling Youyou could finish speaking, Xue Xiao interrupted her with a loud voice.
Looking at Ling Youyou, who looked worried, Xue Xiao's heart warmed, and she smiled casually following her usual heartless appearance: "It's so quiet, don't worry, I'm really fine." I've gotten used to it for so many years, they really can't bully me, and now I'm the only one who bullies them."
Looking at Ling Youyou's eyes that obviously didn't quite believe it, Xue Xiao was a little helpless.
She knew that Ling Youyou didn't worry about her, but what she said was indeed the truth, and she had completely cut off the only remaining family affection in her heart now. The reason why she was bullied in the past was because she still had a little place for them in her heart, so she would still be sad because of their indifference and ruthlessness. But now that she didn't care about anything, they really couldn't continue to bully her.
The "they" who bullied her in Xue Xiao's mouth refer to her stepmother Liu Yuexin and her half-sister Xue Xinyao, followed by her father Xue Guoqiang, who has not taken care of her since she was a child.
In Xue Xiao's impression, from childhood to adulthood, her father's love was basically given to Xue Xinyao, and she was a dispensable existence. Even if he gave her a little love occasionally, it was incidental when he cared about Xue Xinyao.
On the contrary, Liu Yuexin was very good to her, taking care of her in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, so good that Xue Xiao felt that Liu Yuexin was her biological mother. Xue Xiao's mother died before she could remember, so she didn't remember what her mother looked like at all, and Liu Yuexin's appearance even filled in the maternal love she had lacked since she was a child.
So even if her father has always favored Xue Xinyao and ignored her completely, she has never hated Xue Xinyao.
Since she was a child, she has been very good to Xue Xinyao, and Xue Xinyao has always taken good care of her as a younger sister.
In addition to Xue Guoqiang, Liu Yuexin and Xue Xinyao, the Xue family is currently the only person in the Xue family who is still good to Xue Xiao: Xue Xiao's grandfather Xue Zhiyuan.
The old man was born in a soldier, his blood is strong, he is upright, and he has really loved Xue Xiao since he was a child, although he is strict, but he often teaches him personally.
So Xue Xiao always thought that even if her father didn't love her, she was happy. It wasn't until that incident happened later that she shattered the happy life she had always thought she had. Since then, she has learned that the love that Liu Yuexin gave her is fake, Xue Xinyao has never treated her as a sister since she was a child, they are all acting with her, the purpose is just to find an opportunity to completely drive her out of the Xue family, so as to pave the way for Xue Xinyao.
Such Liu Yuexin and Xue Xinyao were even more hateful than his father, who didn't care much about him. Except for the grandfather she has always respected and taught her carefully, there is no one in the Xue family who is worthy of her affection anymore. In her eyes, Liu Yuexin and Xue Xinyao are nothing to her now. She wasn't trying to comfort Ling Youyou with a smile, but she really didn't care, and she wasn't afraid that they would make trouble, and if she offended me now, I would pay it back.
So if anyone dares to trouble her tonight, she will definitely return it ruthlessly.
Xue Xiao saw that Ling Youyou was still not at ease, so he had to say: "It's so Youyou, I just lack a companion tonight, otherwise you can accompany me to put on makeup and pick out dresses, and then we will go to my grandfather's birthday banquet together."
Ling Youyou's eyes lit up, and he immediately said: "Okay, okay, let's go together, tonight I will definitely let you go to the birthday banquet of Old Man Xue beautifully, and compare that Xue to anything." If they dare to pretend to be a white lotus and bully you like before, I will tear their mouths on the spot. I'm not afraid that others are afraid of those reporters making up nonsense or something, I'm the best at spilling and rolling, if they dare to be shameless, I will be even more shameless than them, hum." After Ling Youyou finished speaking, he raised his arm vigorously. Xue Xiao was amused by her funny appearance and laughed, and her heart was like a warm current gently passing through, and it was also an extremely happy thing to have a good friend who was willing to stand up for you at any time.
The two walked to the gate of the campus, the driver of the Ling family had already picked up Ling Youyou at the door, and the two went to the largest shopping mall in the center of Beicheng to pick up dresses according to the pre-arranged itinerary, and the driver was waiting for them in the parking lot downstairs.
It's just that today's shopping mall looks particularly strange, and the six-story shopping mall went to the fifth floor and the two didn't pick out their favorite dress. Somehow, the grade of the dresses in the mall today is worse than usual, not a little bit worse, which makes Ling Youyou wonder.
Although Ling Youyou usually doesn't like to dress up very much, the Ling family also occupies a pivotal position in Beicheng, usually the Ling family holds various banquets or something, and the dresses worn by Ling Youyou are all customized in this shopping mall, and there are many celebrities who usually come here to choose dresses, and no matter how bad the quality of the place that can be favored by so many celebrities and daughters, it will not be like today that they can't even pick out a decent dress.
"Did you hit the evil today?" Ling Youyou pursed his lips irritably.
Xue Xiao couldn't help but feel a little funny when he saw Ling Youyou's impetuous appearance: "Youyou, isn't it just to pick a dress, it's still early, what's the hurry?" Xue Xiao pointed in the direction of the sixth floor as he spoke, and after speaking, he pulled Ling Youyou towards the sixth floor.
Ling Youyou's temperament was a little impatient, and she didn't find a dress after walking around five floors, she looked a little listless, and was half-pushed and half-dragged by Xue Xiao to the sixth floor.
When the two of them walked into the mall on the sixth floor, the listless Ling Youyou instantly became energetic, and his eyes were shining as he stared at the store named Natu on the opposite side of the entrance on the sixth floor
e clothing store. There is only this one clothing store on the entire sixth floor, which is indescribably large, and the façade is Natu
The word e was shining, and before the two of them entered the store, they saw different styles of dresses through the window, each of which was extraordinary.
To be honest, Ling Youyou has been to this mall a lot of times, but she never knew that there was such a high-end clothing store here, and this was really the first time she had seen this store.
When the two of them walked to a certain distance from the door of the store, they were greeted by two waitresses with neatly dressed and delicate faces.
Xue Xiao said secretly: "The service in this store is really thoughtful"
The quality of the two waiters was amazing, and they welcomed them into the store patiently and politely. The minute they walked into the store, the two realized that what they had just seen outside through the window was a drop in the bucket. It was only through close contact that I realized how shocking the design of the clothes in this store was. Styles aside, each and every one of these designs has been infused with soul, and these styles have never been seen on the market.
Although Xue Xiao didn't know how to design, he was also shocked by the various styles of these clothes in the store, not to mention Ling Youyou, who walked around in front of each window display case with bright eyes.
The two shopping guides took Xue Xiao and Ling Youyou to patiently introduce them and explain the meaning behind each clothing design.
When one of the shopping guides took Xue Xiao to another store next to the partition of the clothing store, Xue Xiao's eyes were immediately attracted by the separate glass window in the center.
The shopping guide followed Xue Xiao's gaze and brought her to the front of the window, and Xue Xiao saw it more clearly at this time. Inside the window hung a pure white one-shoulder gown, the fabric of the dress looked smooth and delicate, and a diamond of a modest size and unique style was set under the center of the neckline. The whole dress looks very simple, and all the decoration on the dress is the sparkling diamond. I don't know what material is used to fix it, the diamond is set in a semi-suspended state under the center of the neckline, and when I look at it, it seems that the owner of the clothes has dropped a tear, and the crystal clear tears have not completely fallen, but they have been frozen by time, at first glance, the beauty is incomprehensible.
Xue Xiao looked at the clothes in the window steadily, only to feel a slight astringency in her heart, and a strange feeling surrounded the tip of her heart.
Seeing Xue Xiao looking at the dress in a daze, the shopping guide stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Miss, do you need to take it off and try it for you?" Xue Xiao came back to his senses, quickly abandoned the strange feeling in his heart, looked at the shopping guide and hesitated: "This is ...... Can you try it?"
Xue Xiao saw that this dress did not have a clear price like other clothes, and it was placed separately in the center of the store, thinking that this dress should have extraordinary significance, maybe it was the treasure of the town store or something?
"Of course you can," the shopping guide smiled.
Xue Xiao was stunned, I didn't expect this store to be so easy to talk to? Since the shopping guide said that he could try it on, Xue Xiao really liked it, so he was not hypocritical, and directly asked the shopping guide to help take it down and try it on.
