After Lin Qingrou dressed up, she went to the banquet hall downstairs in advance. For her, the preparation before going out is just a few simple tidying up, including taking care of her hair accessories and putting on light makeup.

This is a habit she has always had, and she has never changed it even when it coincides with some important occasions. This habit came from her mother, the woman who always had a kind smile on her face, who never complained, who never got angry, and who was always as gentle as water.

Mother's makeup has always been very elegant, but Lin Qingrou always felt that such a mother was the most beautiful woman in the world. Because she was influenced by her mother, she felt that even elegant makeup would not affect a person's true beauty and temperament.

So Lin Qingrou continued her mother's makeup style, and she felt that this practice could keep her mother close to her, as if her willow eyebrows and smile never left.

Of course, this approach is not acceptable to everyone, although this should be Lin Qingrou's freedom. Du Zeming used to be one of those people who had a lot of opinions on this, and of course there was a place for Li Shujun in this ranks.

In those years of the Du family, Lin Qingrou seemed to be recognized as wrong no matter what she did. And her almost faceless dress has also become a frequent reason for Li Shujun's criticism, she thinks that such a raunchy appearance is simply unseemly, and it is completely smearing the face of the Du family.

And Du Zeming also didn't like Lin Qingrou's careless attitude towards his appearance, which was obviously a perfunctory, he thought that Lin Qingrou was doing this to make a silent protest to him.

It is said that women are the ones who please themselves, Lin Qingrou never cares too much about her appearance, and she is not willing to spend time on carefully dressing up her appearance. For this reason, Du Zeming has always been very angry in his heart, because he knew that Lin Qingrou did this out of indifference to himself, so he was originally disgusted with Lin Qingrou and was angered many times.

However, after other things were unanimously criticized by the Du family's mother and son, Lin Qingrou would eventually tolerate and correct them, but she always maintained a stubbornness towards her makeup. This is the little thought she has left in her heart for her mother, she is unwilling to change, and why should she change?

After several cold words, the matter was not brought up again. Lin Qingrou was finally more relaxed, and she was able to maintain a little of her rights, although this right was also finally exchanged for her after being suppressed many times.

The dinner finally started with the gathering of guests in twos and threes, Lin Qinghe and Du Hongming entertained the male guests in another hall, while Lin Qingrou greeted the remaining female guests with Zhao Xi.

These people are all high-class figures, and their status is naturally very noble. Some of the ladies are very talkative and eloquent, and they want to show off when their family is in the limelight recently, while some of them are taciturn and quite low-key, and they may not often attend such occasions on weekdays.

Lin Qingrou originally belonged to the latter, and she hadn't appeared in such a public occasion for a long time, so that many people had already forgotten that she was the second miss of the Lin family. Among the guests here today, Lin Qingrou has indeed only seen so many familiar people, and she has never met the rest.

However, although she is still the same as before, she does not like this kind of occasion that reveals some hypocrisy, talks eloquently, and compares with each other, but her treatment of people always reflects her gentle and elegant temperament, which still leaves a very deep and good impression on everyone.

Most of these female guests are already the age of Lin Qingrou's mother. For them, it is rare to see a squeamish junior who does not apply powder and is squeamish on such an occasion. If Zhao Xi is a tulip with an elegant temperament, then Lin Qingrou is a seemingly plain gardenia.

Gardenias exude a sense of shyness, and they are not so conspicuous compared to those flowers that compete for beauty on weekdays. But that doesn't stop it from exuding a long-lasting fragrance and sweetness on its own. Do not fight, do not grab, stand proudly, this is the unique style of gardenia, and it is also Lin Qingrou's character.

Sometimes it's not that you stay away from the center of the stage and will be forgotten and ignored by everyone, Lin Qingrou has her own temperament and charm, and she can be appreciated and paid attention to by everyone in this banquet.

The dinner ended smoothly in a fairly harmonious and happy atmosphere, in fact, there would be no problem with Zhao Xi's all-round hosting. Lin Qingrou always admired Zhao Xi very much, because she was always so calm and calm, as if everything had already been understood by her.

This is a woman who will not be defeated by anything, Lin Qingrou thought in her heart. Sometimes she also has some impulses to become Zhao Xi, if it is Zhao Xi who is facing her current confusion and difficulties, she should handle it better than herself.

After the banquet, Zhao Xi quietly leaned into Lin Qingrou's ear and told her that she would not need to participate in the future activities. Zhao Xi also understands Lin Qingrou very well, and knows that she is not good at catering to such an occasion, rather than reluctantly making it difficult, it is better to let her feel more comfortable to do what she wants to do.

In fact, the subsequent activities are nothing more than taking these female guests to do beauty spa, play a few rounds of mahjong or other entertainment activities. Zhao Xi except for a few more important friends who need to be accompanied by him personally, the rest of the people can just let them move freely.

Lin Qingrou finally breathed a sigh of relief, because such an occasion was still a little breathless for her, and the feeling was like being tied, which was particularly uncomfortable. But it finally went smoothly, and I didn't meet anyone I didn't want to meet.

This person she didn't want to see was Li Shujun. Zhao Xi carefully informed Lin Qingrou in advance, and among the guests invited by their family to attend the engagement ceremony was Li Shujun. Because Zhao Xi's father, Director Zhao, has a good personal relationship with Li Shujun, it makes sense to invite her.

Of course, Lin Qingrou didn't want to bump into Li Shujun, a person who carried explosive barrels everywhere and would explode inexplicably when he saw him. Fortunately, Zhao Xi said that Li Shujun would not attend the banquet in the evening, because she had not yet arrived here.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Qingrou finally ended the banquet with some apprehension. She always felt that Li Shujun was like a haunting ghost, and she might suddenly appear at any time.

After Lin Qingrou and Zhao Xi separated, they walked out of the hotel directly. When she came during the day, she saw a very nice courtyard at the back of the hotel, where there was a musical fountain, which must be very beautiful at night when all the lights were turned on.

With this thought to herself, she walked all the way to the courtyard. Probably because of the mountains and forests, the air outside is exceptionally fresh, compared to the previous cup change on the dining table, Lin Qingrou really felt comfortable and happy when she arrived here.

In front of the musical fountain, the photo equipment on both sides has been turned on, and the colorful interpretation is deduced. It's just that it seems that the time for the fountain eruption has been missed at this point in time, but this does not affect Lin Qingrou's relaxed mood.

The environment here is quiet, except for a few couples passing by from time to time, Lin Qingrou was not disturbed. She likes this feeling of being close to nature, as if when a few birdsong suddenly echoes in the mountains and forests, she will have a kind of joy in her heart.

"May I ask Miss Lin, right?"

Suddenly, a woman's question came from behind her, and it sounded like she was checking whether she had found the wrong person. Lin Qingrou turned around in response and saw a middle-aged lady dressed gorgeously and temperamentally walking towards her.

"Miss Lin, it's really you, I was worried about whether I recognized the wrong person just now?" The middle-aged lady said to Lin Qingrou with a smile on her face.

Before Lin Qingrou could answer, the person in front of her had already confirmed her identity, and her mind was spinning rapidly at this time, but she still couldn't recall the name of this lady.

Lin Qingrou knew that she was the one who had just eaten at the same table as herself, but there were so many strangers at that time, and she really couldn't remember the names of these people one by one, so she felt a little embarrassed at this time.

"Hello."

After a while, Lin Qingrou spit out these two words, since she can't say the name to deal with, she still needs to answer, otherwise it will be too rude. And this lady looks very kind, and she is also very kind to herself, so Lin Qingrou did not feel resistant in her heart, even if she just wanted to be alone for a while.

At this time, the lady seemed to understand Lin Qingrou's thoughts, and introduced herself very gently: "My surname is Zhang, and we just ate together at the same table before. ”

When Lin Qingrou heard this, she repeatedly said that she remembered this Ms. Zhang, although her performance was a little cramped, Ms. Zhang still had a kind face, and she did not feel offended at all because Lin Qingrou couldn't remember her name.

Ms. Zhang said, "It's okay, Miss Lin. Don't be nervous, I'm just running into you here and want to talk to you. ”

Lin Qingrouxin said that she hadn't had much contact with her before, so what topics was there to talk about? The weakness of her unsociable character was exposed at this time. In fact, she is not so introverted by nature, or so resistant to things in the outside world.

It's just because she has been a mute who can't speak for so many years, so in order to protect herself from being ridiculed by others, she has developed this character of avoiding communication with others as much as possible, but she forgets that now she can communicate with others fluently, and she doesn't need to be timid at all.
