The hall is bustling with activity, with pink embroidered tablecloths spread on long tables, and large sticks of delicate roses blooming freely, emitting bursts of refreshing fragrance. Amber champagne is arranged in a crystal clear pyramid, and the snow-white plate is filled with colorful food that makes people salivate. Musicians in tuxedos on the dance floor are smiling and playing cheerful dance music, and handsome men and women on the dance floor are smiling at each other, with long hair flying and skirts fluttering. More of them are well-dressed, or fragrant and sultry, chatting in groups with wine glasses.

Shao Baiqing shuttled through the crowd with a smile, and when he saw Shen Li coming in from the door, he raised his hand to say hello, Shen Li strode over, looking at him with a little surprise: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost weight?" You can't think of me, do you? ”

Shao Baiqing punched him and raised his eyebrows: "Yes, I miss you every day, and I can't sleep at night!" ”

Shen Li was about to take his shoulder: "If it's interesting to me, say it earlier, master, I eat both men and women!" ”

"Fuck off!" Shao Baiqing slapped his hand away: "Jiang Kaiwei didn't have an invitation to arrive early in the morning, why did you come if you had an invitation?" ”

Shen Li smiled and pointed to the door: "I just met your eldest brother and chatted a few words." ”

Shao Baiqing was very surprised: "No, my eldest brother is here too?" I didn't send him an invitation! ”

Shen Li said: "Don't talk about you, I'm taken aback, your eldest brother has never been interested in this kind of thing, I guess it's selling your face, right?" ”

"What face do I have with him?" Shao Baiqing sneered: "You don't know, he hasn't treated me since I was a child." ”

Shen Li looked around for a moment and said, "Why haven't you seen any of the heroes and heroines?" ”

Shao Baiqing sighed and said: "Du Xiaoxian is scared and doesn't dare to come out, Gu Mutou is estimated to cheer up the little girl again, the time is almost up, if you don't come out, the guests don't know who to celebrate her birthday to!" spent so much thought, but the heroine refused to come out to meet people, Gu Nianbin thought about everything, but he didn't expect this stubble. ”

Shen Li smiled and said, "President Gu also has a time when he is secret!" ”

"He is too accustomed to Du Xiaoxian, according to his temperament, if Du Xiaoxian really refuses to come out tonight, it is estimated that he will go with her." Shao Baiqing has a habit of hating iron and steel: "I have never seen such a spoiled girlfriend, and when I talk to a little girl, I refuse to speak loudly." Du Xiaoxian is simple and timid now, and when the little girl's wings become stiff one day, he will know that he is powerful. ”

Shen Li said with a smile: "President Gu is really fond of Du Xiaoxian!" ”

Shao Baiqing said: "That is, now, it will be difficult to say in the future." He looked at the door and said, "You are at your own convenience, and I will go to my eldest brother." ”

Shen Li said hello and walked towards Jiang Kaiwei, who was chatting enthusiastically.

Shao Baiqing arrived outside the door, and sure enough, he saw his eldest brother Shao Baikang smoking a cigarette in front of a wall of climbing vines.

"Yo, Master Shao, which gust of wind blew you here, rare guest!" Shao Baiqing exaggerated haha.

Shao Baikang turned around and smiled slightly: "Outside, as soon as you call Shao Dagongzi, everyone knows that it is you." ”

"What should I call you? President Shao? "Shao Baiqing has never been serious in front of his eldest brother.

Shao Baikang said: "Is it difficult to call Brother Sheng? ”

Shao Baiqing just grinned and changed the subject: "Why are you free?" ”

"I received an invitation," Shao Baikang said, "The Gu family held a dance party for a little girl, and everyone was very curious, and I was no exception, so I came." ”

Shao Baiqing shrugged: "Since you're here, let's have fun, I'm going to go in and get busy." ”

Shao Baikang dragged him: "I just said two words, why do you have to leave?" Don't have anything to say to your big brother? ”

Shao Baiqing looked at the big hand holding his arm and said, "Not for the time being." ”

"You don't, I do." Shao Baikang stopped laughing at him, and his expression became serious: "Listen to my mother, you broke up with Miss Fang, what's the matter?" How did you swear to tell me in the first place? It's only been a long time, and it's divided again. Originally, I didn't agree to this matter, it was you who begged Mom, and Mom came to beg me again, I secretly checked Fang Xueqing, and felt that although she was born in a small family, she had a good education, ability, and appearance, and it was more than enough to match you, so I agreed. I thought you were sensible and knew that you had converged, but now it looks like that. Bai Qing, you are in your thirties, you have had enough, find a good woman to marry, is it not good to have the rest of your life? It also makes mom worry less about snacks. ”

"Aren't you still single?" Shao Baiqing scoffed: "You let your mother worry about it!" Mind my business? Raising his feet to leave, Shao Baikang grabbed him hard.

"Aren't you going to explain it to me?" Shao Baikang's voice sank: "Why did you lose weight?" Is it because of Fang ......?"

"No," Shao Baiqing smiled a little swayingly: "Am I someone who will be sad for women?" ”

"I know you're not," Shao Baikang stared into his eyes and asked, "Let me ask you, what is the origin of that little girl, you held this dance party for her tonight, right?" Such a big battle, I like her so much? You broke up with Miss Fang for her sake? ”

Shao Baiqing laughed out loud and patted his eldest brother on the shoulder: "Yes, imagination is rich enough." President Shao, you are at your own convenience, I really have something to go. After speaking, he shook Shao Baikang's hand vigorously, turned around and entered the door.

Shao Baikang looked at the back of his little brother and shook his head helplessly.

When Shao Baiqing entered the door, there was a commotion in the hall, everyone looked at the curved staircase, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Nianbin took Du Xiaoxian's hand and slowly walked down the stairs.

The man of Yushu Zhilan, a girl with an extraordinary bearing, a beautiful and refined girl, as pure as a fairy, such a pair of beautiful people appeared in front of everyone, which really made everyone sigh.

Shao Baiqing hurriedly squeezed through the crowd, stepped up the stairs in two or three steps, and took Du Xiaoxian's other hand, Gu Nianbin frowned slightly, but it was not good to attack on the spot. As for Du Xiaoxian, she was stupid, as if she couldn't even walk, and she didn't react at all to the hand that Shao Baiqing held her. She was so nervous, she was trembling everywhere, if it weren't for Gu Nianbin holding her tightly, she would definitely turn around and run away, the most unbearable thing was that everyone paid attention to her, and there were so many people with noble status and extraordinary temperament, one or two had already made her timid, and the group of black pressure would have killed her.

There are more and more discussions below, when Gu Nianbin came out with Du Xiaoxian, everyone was shocked, people who are familiar with the Gu family know that there is no woman around Gu Nianbin, and those who are more familiar know that he belongs to Xia Xiaowan, the daughter of the Xia family, and is completely insulated from other women, so almost everyone is dumbfounded.

But as soon as Shao Baiqing appeared, everyone seemed to be relieved, as if everything was normal, with Shao Baiqing's usual flamboyant and high-profile, it was completely possible to hold such a grand dance party for a little girl who was not deeply involved in the world. Most of the people present had already recognized in their hearts that this dance party was opened by Shao Baiqing for Du Xiaoxian. They are just curious about Du Xiaoxian's origin, her cowardly appearance, and she is weak, and she doesn't look like a daughter of any family.

There was a microphone in the atrium of the staircase, and the emcee in a straight suit was looking forward to it, seeing them approaching step by step, he cleared his throat and began his opening remarks: "Ladies and gentlemen, now our birthday girl Miss Du Xiaoxian, accompanied by Mr. Gu Nianbin, President of Gu's Family, and Mr. Shao Baiqing, General Manager, are coming to everyone, let us welcome her with lively applause!" ”

There was thunderous applause below, Du Xiaoxian was almost stunned by this warm applause, she couldn't be noticed, she couldn't since she was a child, her freshness could only be in front of Gu Nianbin, in front of others, she was uncomfortable, she was at a loss, she was flustered, as if everyone was holding a magnifying glass to look at her inch by inch, she was nothing, she didn't understand anything, she just lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and let the two men on the left and right carry her to the position of the atrium.

"Next, I would like to invite General Manager Shao to give a speech to you, everyone is welcome."

Gu Nianbin was slightly stunned, it should be his speech, why don't you follow the scheduled process?

Shao Baiqing didn't look at him either, he waved his hand down with a smile on his face, signaled quiet, cleared his throat, and began to speak: "Dear friends, distinguished guests, gentlemen, ladies, thank you for being invited to attend Miss Du Xiaoxian's eighteen-year-old coming-of-age ball. It's not an honor! ”

There was another round of applause from below.

Shao Baiqing has always been radiant on stage, raising his hands and feet is full of infinite charm, and his peach blossom eyes are shooting in the crowd, so that many young girls who are pregnant with spring can't help but cover their little hearts. He winked at a handsome girl standing at the front, who immediately blushed and felt that her breath was struggling.

"Oh, eighteen!" Shao Baiqing spread his hands, and his tone was brisk and seemed to have a hint of melancholy: "What a beautiful age, what an unbridled youth!" He looked sideways at Du Xiaoxian and smiled brightly: "Is our little birthday star Miss Du more beautiful than flowers?" ”

The people below laughed and coaxed: "It's beautiful!" "Pretty!" "Beauty!"

Du Xiaoxian heard Shao Baiqing say this, and then listened to the coaxing below, she became more and more afraid, her feet hidden under her skirt kept shaking, and she even heard the sound of her teeth chattering, she knew that this was the case, she would rather not have this ball, only spend it with Gu Nianbin, eat, go shopping, watch movies, and then buy a big cake and go home to blow out candles and make wishes, and she was also very happy.

Her subtle expression was all in Gu Nianbin's sight, seeing that the little girl was afraid of being like this, President Gu also regretted a little, she shouldn't have been put under the spotlight if she wasn't ready.

Holding her hand tightly, Gu Nianbin slowly approached her: "Baby, don't be afraid, I'm here." A gentle and simple sentence whispered in Du Xiaoxian's ears, she really wanted to hide in the man's arms regardless of it and let him take her away. But she knew no, the ball was for her, how could she leave? And Gu Nianbin hopes that she can face it bravely, for him, she should become brave.

Shao Baiqing saw that the two of them were a little ambiguous, and hurriedly spoke again: "On this beautiful night, let us raise a glass together and send our most sincere blessings to Miss Du officially entering the adult world." I wish her smooth sailing on the road ahead, and I wish her every year and today! May she always be as young and beautiful as she is eighteen! ”

The master of ceremonies on the side secretly complained to himself, how could he let General Manager Shao say all his words.
