The engagement banquet finally came, and the Xiao family meant that everything was simple. A marriage that will not have a result is naturally as simple as possible, otherwise it will not end well.

However, Xiao Mingyuan gave me enough face, a custom diamond ring, and a haute couture dress that got ll.

I don't know how this engagement feast will end, and when I sit in the lounge, my soul is drifting out. In two hours, the banquet will begin.

Xiao Mingyuan took the time to come in to look for me, saw my stunned appearance, and shook his hand in front of me, "Nervous"

"Fake, what do I have to be nervous about." I glanced at him and whispered to him, "You said you said what should I do if she really abandoned me completely?"

Xiao Mingyuan thought for a while and said seriously: "Su Ruan, there are many things that people can't do in this life. But if you try your best to do it and get the result that is not as you want, then you can only accept the reality. Although it is difficult to give up the family relationship, the time is short and long, and there is always something better to look forward to. ”

usually looks at the giggling, but it sounds a little beautiful when it comes to the big truth.

I couldn't help but look at him a few more times, "original"

Xiao Mingyuan couldn't hold back all of a sudden, "Yesterday my uncle told me that he didn't know what books he read, and suddenly told me this, just to comfort you"

Me,""

Xiao Qingmo didn't appear in front of me, but his shadow was still everywhere. I sighed, from now on, it will be impossible for me and Xiao Qingmo to do so.

The Xiao family didn't advertise my identity before, but after the engagement banquet tonight, there is no room for anything to turn around.

"Su Ruan, in fact, you don't have to worry too much." Xiao Mingyuan hugged my shoulders and comforted me, "If within five years, you don't have someone you like, and I don't have someone you love, then we feel that we won't break the marriage contract and get married directly." ”

I was touched by what he said, but it was impossible. The old lady of the Xiao family is a person who keeps her promises, although she is unwilling in her heart, she also wants Xiao Mingyuan to fulfill the marriage contract.

So Wang Yuan had no choice but to save the country. The only reason why she can manage this engagement banquet is that I will take the initiative to do something to "corrupt the door" in the future, so that the Xiao family has a legitimate reason to contact the marriage contract.

If it were really according to the five-year covenant that Xiao Qingmo said, Zhang Yuan would be the first to jump out and strangle me. A person like her would never look down on a person like me who had a bad background and a strange temper.

What's more, I had a period with Xiao Qingmo, like a time bomb.

When this is over, I will leave the North City. There are too many people in this place who don't want to meet, and there are also things that you don't want to see. The only thing I miss is the scenery as a friend.

Chu Chengqian took her to a foreign country for a vacation, and she remembered to call me when she was crazy, and she always remembered to think about me when she had fun.

"We'll talk about it then." I came back to my senses and smiled at Xiao Mingyuan.

If Su Ying really likes Xiao Qingmo, his reputation will not be damaged, and naturally he will not run out to see him.

The dinner started at nine o'clock, and at eight o'clock, with the help of the staff, I changed my clothes.

In a lilac tulle dress, I have a white skin and a thin waist in the mirror, and my figure is swaying. When you don't laugh, you are elegant and quiet, and when you laugh, your eyes are bright.

To say that in the fifteen years of the Tang family, in addition to being oppressed spiritually, it was indeed rich and fine in material terms, and he never suffered a little grievance.

"She is worthy of being Miss Tang, and her temperament and appearance are all superior." The people around him sighed sincerely, "Mr. Xiao is blessed." ”

I lowered my eyes and didn't answer. If today is my engagement banquet with Xiao Qingmo, I'm afraid it will be different. It's a pity that people are always like this in this life, they can't get what they want, they don't want what they get, so they are always in contradiction and sorrow.

After changing my clothes, I went to another lounge, and as soon as I pushed the door in, I met Xiao Qingmo's gaze. In a blink of an eye, Wang Yuan was also there, and the two of them probably discussed something.

Wang Yuan walked over, took my arm and looked at me carefully, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, this kind of appearance is outstanding in the whole Beicheng, but it is such a background." ”

"Thank you." I twitched my hand and smiled.

Wang Yuan probably also felt that apart from my alienation, she didn't mind, and sighed, "The Tang family is also a weird family, and the eldest lady with the right name doesn't have a dignified temperament. The illegitimate daughter is like you again, and she is proud in her bones. ”

She talked about the Tang family's family affairs without shying away from it, thinking that she really didn't take the Tang family in her eyes, I don't care what she said. It's just that his eyes can't help but drift towards Xiao Qingmo, and he always feels that he has squint eye disease.

"What about Mingyuan" Xiao Qingmo didn't look at me, and said, "The guests are coming." ”

"I just went out to change my clothes, and I should be back in a moment." Wang Yuan said dissatisfiedly: "It's the Tang family, but no one has come." ”

Tang Pingye is merry and happy outside, and he doesn't care about these things at all.

Tang Li secretly competed with the old lady of the Xiao family, and it was harmless whether an engagement banquet came or not.

It's just that I clasped my hands and wondered whether my mother would come.

After all, once she appears at the banquet, the old things from more than twenty years ago will be repeated, and her comfortable life in Beicheng will be broken again.

"The guests are almost here." Xiao Mingyuan changed into a dress and walked in, wearing a purple suit that complemented me. He was born well, has an excellent temperament, and is handsome and extraordinary when he dresses up.

I grabbed his arm and smiled at Xiao Qingmo, "You have to host for us." ”

Xiao Qingmo stood with his hands in his hands, with a noncommittal look on his face, and did not respond.

Wang Yuan on the side looked at us standing side by side, and sighed again.

The door of the lounge was open, and Xiao Mingyuan and I walked into the venue.

The light fell on us, and I heard Xu Qing's shout, "You can't get engaged"

Before I could react, she had already dragged me into the break room.

I was scratched by the nails on her hands, and then I heard Wang Yuan say angrily: "Ms. Xu, what are you doing?"

Xiao Qingmo took a step forward, quietly brushed Xu Qing away, and glanced at the scratches on my arm.

My brain was buzzing, and when I stared at my mother, my eyes were blank, and she still came.

Xiao Mingyuan looked at me worriedly, lowered his head and asked me if I was okay, I shook my head.

Xu Qing probably realized that he had lost his temper, adjusted his emotions, and said slowly: "Su Ruan can't be engaged to Xiao Mingyuan, otherwise you will regret your marriage in the future, wouldn't it be a waste of this marriage contract." ”

Wang Yuan showed an incredible look, and subconsciously asked rhetorically, "Su Ruan is your daughter"

Yes, I'm her daughter. I thought so to myself, clenching my hands tightly.

Xu Qing glanced at me, "The marriage contract is for the Xiao and Tang families to fulfill, it doesn't matter who will fulfill it, what matters is who is more suitable." ”

"Then what do you mean" Wang Yuan's face was not good, "Could it be that Su Soft has some bad comments, will it cause trouble in the future?"

Xiao Mingyuan persuaded her mother to accept the engagement between us, in order to let me make trouble in the future, forcing the old lady of the Xiao family to nod and dissolve the engagement. not only preserved the reputation of the Xiao family for keeping its promises, but also got rid of the Tang family smoothly.

But that doesn't mean she can accept that I had a bad history in the past.

"What are you going to say?" I looked at her, not letting go of her expression.

Say I'm mentally ill

"Sister-in-law, Mingyuan." Xiao Qingmo suddenly said: "The guests are still waiting downstairs, why don't you go and apologize first, and I will handle the matter here." ”

Wang Yuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's okay, since this marriage can't be done, it's not good to let the guests wait, it's rude." ”

Although Xiao Mingyuan was a little worried about me, he also had to come forward to deal with it.

When they left, there were only three of us left.

Xiao Qingmo floated behind me for a moment, as if he was afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear it.

Xu Qing took out a piece of paper from his bag and said without any obstacles: "Su Soft has had a child." ”

Something in my mind exploded all of a sudden, and I subconsciously looked at Xiao Qingmo and found that he was also full of shock.

As if Xu Qing had expected it, he handed the piece of paper to Xiao Qingmo, "This is a medical record." ”

My hands were shaking, and my breath was trembling when I spoke, "Are you telling the truth?"

"When you came back at the age of nineteen, your memory was vague, and of course you don't remember." Xu Qing looked at me and said calmly, "When I went to pick you up, I knew that you were pregnant. ”

"Xu Qing, are you my biological mother" I was almost hysterical, grabbed her shoulders, and broke down and shouted: "Why did you do this to me"

It was fine a few months ago, and she asked me to take care of myself and not always remember to call her.

Why is it that in the blink of an eye, things are not people.

Is it just because she was dragged down by me and humiliated by others?

"Let me ask you, did you know about the abuse I was in the Tang family back then" My tears fell like pearls with broken threads.

Xiao Qingmo told me about this matter, but I want to hear her answer with my own ears.

Xu Qing avoided my gaze, "I know, once I went to visit you, I happened to see Shen Biqing getting sick and abusing you, and you had just turned nine at that time. ”

From the age of nine to fifteen, it took six whole years, and she knew it.

On my ninth birthday, Shen Biqing fell ill and pinched candy with mud to force me to eat it. I ate a mouth full of mud, and as soon as I heard that Xu Qing was coming to visit me, I quickly got rid of Shen Biqing, washed my face and went to see her.

"Su Soft." Xiao Qingmo squeezed my arm hard to make me sober up.

I raised my hand to wipe my tears, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let me ask you one last thing, what about my child." ”
