Chapter 152: Public Humiliation
But I waited for a long time, and I didn't see Aunt Qing coming, it seems that I have been forgotten here, I don't know what this means.
It was completely dark outside the window, the landscape lights in the courtyard had been lit up, and there was not even a single figure in this small living room, and no one could even ask what the situation was.
Dare to hang me here like this!
I felt that this was not the invitation to a family dinner!
As the time gets later and later, I am becoming more and more uneasy, because I am worried about Zhuangzhuang, and I haven't gone back so late, I am afraid that he will make trouble, and I don't know if Sister Ying can coax him well.
I picked up the phone, thought about it and thought about it, or called Uncle Chen, and he quickly answered, "Uncle Chen, I'm Xiaoyue, are you making trouble?" ”
"Miss Tan, why haven't you come back yet, when can you get off work, I'll ask the driver to pick you up!" Uncle Chen's tone was indeed a little eager, "The little young master is okay, he has already eaten!" I haven't slept yet, and I said that I must wait for my mother to come back and sleep together! Miss Tan, let's come back early! ”
"Hmmm! Okay, I got it! I thought about it for a while, but I still told Uncle Chen truthfully, "I'm in the old house, and Aunt Qing asked the driver to pick me up!" ”
"Old mansion?" Uncle Chen's tone was surprised, "Madame invited you to go?" ”
"Yes! I've been waiting for her! Let Sister Ying help me coax me to be strong, I'll go back when I'm done, and if you need to pick it up, I'll call you! ”
"That's good! I'm waiting for your call! I heard Uncle Chen's tone not calm at all.
Hanging up the phone, I am a lot more stable, as long as there is no problem with Zhuangzhuang, I am at ease.
I don't know how long it took, but at last I heard the sound of fast-moving footsteps in the hallway, and a short time later, the maid who had led me here walked in.
"Miss Tan, I've kept you waiting! Madame, please! Her voice was polite enough.
I stood up, didn't speak, and followed her down the hallway outside the living room, in the other direction, I think it was to the main drawing-room.
I quietly took a deep breath to stabilize my angry and nervous feelings, and my hands clutched my bag strap to hide my complicated emotions.
Sure enough, I guessed correctly, walking through the long corridor, I heard someone laughing from time to time, it seemed that there were a lot of people, and the voice was a little mixed.
It looks like he must have gone to the living room.
As I got closer and closer, their conversation became clearer and clearer, "Mayor Zhao, we will be a family in the future, and we need to move around more!" "This voice is that Aunt Qing's.
Mayor Zhao?
I wonder if I heard it wrong? Isn't it a family feast? How can there still be Mayor Zhao?
"Yes! Unexpectedly, we have been planning this family affair for so long, and it can finally blossom and bear fruit! It's a great event! It's really a family! "This voice is indeed a very loud male voice.
My heart is full of ups and downs, what is the occasion of the exhibition today?
"It's all ignored by our exhibitors, Yunting's dedication is too heavy!" This is still Luo Yaqing's voice.
The maid in front of her suddenly stopped, turned around and stretched out her hand to stop her, "Miss Tan, you stay first, I'm going to report to Madame!" ”
I stopped, standing still, just a bend out of the hallway to talk.
"This family business is finally going to bear fruit, and we are at ease as elders! They're not small anymore! People of the same age have children! ”
I understand, this should be Zhan Yunting's family business.
I was even more nervous, since it was such a 'family banquet', why did Luo Yaqing pick me up?
It seems that it is nothing more than an attempt to humiliate me.
Just as she was thinking about it, the maid came out again, "Miss Tan, please!" ”
I took a deep breath and strode out of the small hallway.
"Madam, Miss Tan is here!" The maid made a call inward.
"Then please come in!" The voice came from Luo Yaqing.
I looked over and saw that there were many people sitting in the luxurious and spacious living room, and under the reflection of the gorgeous crystal lamps, it was really happy, and all faces were full of joy, and I could see that this was really a pleasant dinner.
Among the many people, the first thing that caught my eye was that handsome face.
When I looked over, it was obvious that an accident flashed in Zhan Yunting's eyes.
I saw that under his short black hair, there was an angular face like a god, wearing a crisp black suit, and his long body was tall and handsome, exuding a strong momentum that belonged to a man, which attracted my attention.
Raising his eyes, just opposite Zhan Yunting's four eyes, his narrow phoenix eyes are dark and deep, as if the dissolved spring in the depths of the cave is calm without the slightest ripple, and the surprise that saw me at first has long disappeared.
Under the bright and soft crystal lamp, Zhan Yunting squinted his eyes, the resolute lines of his cheeks became cold at this moment, and the high bridge of his nose and fan-like eyelashes were more handsome on his handsome face.
On the sofa beside him, there is a glamorous Zhao Bingqian, who is still exquisite, and the whole person is like a finely carved doll, with white skin, red lips, and delicate meticulousness.
She was leaning towards Zhan Yunting, her face was full of intoxicating smiles, shy, comfortable, and more of a kind of happiness that came true.
I was shocked to see me suddenly appear in the hall, and I was sure that it was absolutely unexpected.
"Tan Xiaoyue?" Her voice was a little unsettled.
Actually, on this occasion, I don't care much about other people's opinions at all, I only look at Zhan Yunting.
He remained silent, as if waiting for the next scene to begin.
Before Zhao Bingqian could continue to ask, a person stood up in the crowd, she wore a royal blue dress, black hair in a bun, and a radiant gem on her neck, which was particularly beautiful and extravagant.
I also looked at her with the same quiet eyes, this is Luo Yaqing who took me to the 'family banquet'.
"Miss Tan, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!" She was pretending to be polite.
She walked out with small steps, looked at me gracefully, and then said in a weird way.
"But after picking you up, after thinking about it, I still feel that it is still a bit inappropriate for you to participate in this family banquet, so I let you wait there! Gifted! ”
I chuckled, really speechless, but that's not my character.
"It's okay, Mrs. Zhan! I don't mind any 'family dinners' at all. It's just that you tried your best to send a driver to pick me up, and this face will always be given to you! After all, you are the wife of the Zhan family and an elder, and I want to do things in a measured way! I replied to her without humility or arrogance.
"Hmmm! Since you've been waiting for us to eat, it can be seen that you still know the rules very well! Luo Yaqing put on a noble lady's posture.
My eyes looked at Zhan Yunting, who was as calm as he was looking at other people's affairs, hiding his emotions deeply.
"Miss Tan, you must have seen it, today is indeed a big day for the Zhan family, which can be described as double happiness." She walked up to me with great grace and continued in a low voice.
"The first joy, Zhanjia's enterprise, Zhanhua Group has escaped a catastrophe! The second joy, the wedding date of Yun Ting and Bingqian has been determined, and on October 16, two months later, the big wedding will be held! ”
My grip on the strap tightened so hard that my nails poked into my palms.
"This will be the grandest wedding of the century in Jiangcheng and even in the country. This day was chosen by Yun Ting himself, and at the dinner just now, our two families have already decided on all relevant matters! ”
Her expression was obviously provocative to me, but I always felt that she had done something wrong, and that she needed to report these things to me. I'm afraid that's not the real purpose.
Luo Yaqing's eyes were staring at me tightly, as if she wanted to see me collapse in an instant.
I took a sneaky breath and slowly exhaled it, keeping myself in the same composure. But the stinging pain of nails poking into the palms of my hands reminded me that it was all true.
Luo Yaqing just wanted to humiliate me in front of everyone, so that she could give the Zhao family a good-looking and reasonable explanation.
Of course, I am not qualified to refute, nor am I qualified to speak, let alone angry.
Maybe Luo Yaqing saw that I didn't move, as if it was unexpected, she looked at me, guessing what I thought.
"Tomorrow will be held in the Zhanhua Group Building to officially publicize the good news! Good news for those guests who have been waiting for this wedding for a long time! Therefore, I didn't invite Miss Tan to the table! ”
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhan, for your thoughtfulness, such an occasion is really not suitable for me as an outsider!" My tone was quite calm, without a hint of turbulence.
I admired my composure, but my heart hurt so much that I felt myself trembling slightly.
And at this moment, Zhao Bingqian spoke......
