Chapter 17: The Lilies and the Roses
'Even if I go to the annual meeting, this body is too luxurious, and I'm not the daughter of a rich family, why do I wear this!' ’
The next day, I followed Lu Xuelan, who was waiting for me in front of the unit early, and rushed home.
After a busy day, I stood in front of the mirror, fiddling with the hem of my skirt and looking at my makeup.
It is also Suzhou embroidery self-woven jacquard, snow-white silk material, simple cut out of the draped and close-fitting texture, the embroidered lilies on the shoulder strap are very beautiful, and the layers of silk threads are pierced with a unique three-dimensional texture, just like a living bouquet, tied with a beautiful tulle ribbon.
This is just a skirt that Lu Xuelan took at random, why does it fit so well? It's so familiar, this dress is really familiar.
……
The annual meeting of the "Fortune Enterprise" was held in the banquet hall of the Maple Leaf Hotel, which was full of maple trees.
Lu Xuelan's car took me to the front of the hotel as promised, and the scenery in front of me couldn't help but make me jaw-dropping. Obviously, it has passed the season of autumn wind and falling leaves, but this large area of maple trees and sycamores is still golden and blocked.
If all this is compared to a land full of gold, the Lu family, as a Su family's enterprise, is definitely a wealthy family with pearls like earth and gold like iron.
Further on, the stone path under your feet is open and forward, and it is unusually spacious. Unexpectedly, the woods on both sides of the ingenious erection of basalt black half-framed stone pillars, like a frame but not rigid, ten steps can see a white marble three-story Western fountain in the gap between the trees.
It's really a scene everywhere, and it's not ordinary everywhere!
I was only interested in admiring the novelty between the half-framed stone pillars, and did not approach the majestic main building with mahogany stacks at all. It's as if the people in the glass revolving door in front of the hall are not at all my domain to be in.
Before I knew it, I had walked around the woods next to the main building, and I could see in the distance the merchants gathered in a small circle on the open-air dance floor next to the water pavilion.
I'm standing at one end of the pavilion, and they're on the other. Lu Xuefeng, too......
He was still wearing a crisp black suit and a light gray silk tie. A balance collar pin with the same pattern as Lu Xuelan is simply pinned in front of the collar.
In the crowd, he sometimes chatted with people, and sometimes whispered to those who passed by him. The smile on the corner of his mouth is always so faint, but the eyes are more transparent and dark in the contrasting color of the tie, as cold and deep as obsidian.
Isn't he happy? Or am I too self-righteous to try to figure out his heart? I stood there, feeling a little lost in my heart.
His life is fundamentally different from mine, why am I so obsessed with him. Maybe he was just joking, and I took it all seriously.
I hung my head to stop myself from looking, and the music over there gradually became clear, "Vienna Forest Stories"?
The music chosen really suits the occasion, isn't it like the romantic Vienna of the founding queen of the French Empire?
A bright red dress walked out of the farthest inner hall with a commotion as I hung my head. It was a red thicker than blood, and the drips were like a mellow flavor of wine. The woman in the red dress had her black hair coiled up in a high bun and a crystal ruby comb inserted.
The glass-clear eyes are like a pool of autumn water, rippling with smoke and waves, bit by bit; With a smile on her red lips, she is a beauty like a muse, and she may be like the founding queen who loves the color of red roses.
The dance floor was given up a large open space under her huge skirt, and Lu Xuefeng was the only one left in the open space except for her.
The music gradually became low, and the woman in the red dress approached Lu Xuefeng, gently grabbed his arm, and led Lu Xuefeng to walk up two after two beats, is it the beat of the lead dance?
Could it be that this person is the new sister-in-law in Lu Xuelan's mouth?
There was a slight sour taste in my heart, and the snow-white silk dress on my body was a little cold that invaded the texture.
Am I in tears? Over there, she was like a red rose blooming all over the dance floor, dazzling. And I'm destined to be so white that I can't get into his eyes?
Sure enough, I was so amorous......
So should the current bustle on the other side of the strait be an excuse for me to hate other birds? My lips pursed slightly, and I couldn't help but laugh at my own stupidity.
At this moment, a water-red figure slammed into my arms. Being hit by her so indiscriminately, I followed the inertia, and my center of gravity was unstable, and I fell on the thick fallen leaves with her.
"Ahh I'm sorry, I was so focused on running away that I didn't notice your ......" The man in his arms covered his face with his hands, and a sweet voice like a silver bell came from between his hands.
Is it a girl? How reckless this is, I don't even notice it here for a person of my age.
Shouldn't I really be lamenting how popular I am at this time?
"It's okay, but should you get up first?" I'm a little powerless to complain about lying on the fallen leaves, although people are not heavy, but it's not right to always press me, right?
With a whoosh, she sat up immediately. "I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! If my brother finds out, he will definitely scold me again! ”
I saw her hands loosen, and a mask appeared on her face. Then I watched her hand quickly flip the mask, and a pair of amber-clear pupils appeared in front of my eyes.
Like a girl in her eighteenth year-olds, her long brown hair and amber pupils seemed to be bathed in a warm glow. The pink lips under the small nose are like dew, and with a water-red suspender dress on the body, it is like a flower fairy in spring, revealing innocence.
Looking at it, I suddenly remembered that she had just said that someone was chasing her, and I turned sideways to look in the direction she was running from, as if no one was running towards me in the afterglow before. What's more, if someone is really chasing, shouldn't this toss be caught a long time ago?
Could there be something else going on?
I couldn't help but look around a few more times, and then helped her up, and while draining the fallen leaves and branches on my skirt, I asked, "Why are you running around with a mask, is there anyone chasing you behind?" ”
"Uh...... Just ...... Alas? It's gone...... the little girl staggered around, looked at the empty woods, turned her head and laughed embarrassedly.
This expression is meant to tell me, are you playing with me? Seeing her smile so brightly, I couldn't help but have a kind of mentality in my heart.
How naughty is this, not going to play at the prom, running outside and hitting people everywhere? At that time, speed racing overtaking, or bumper car crashing?
"I'm really sorry, I'll pay attention next time, I'll pay attention!" Xu saw that there was some displeasure in my eyes, and hurriedly bowed and continued to apologize. The amber eyes were covered with a thick layer of water, colliding with the reddening of the eye sockets, as if to indicate that a downpour was coming.
Seeing her like this, I actually got into a hurry, and hurriedly patted her shoulder to appease, and carefully comforted her: "Okay, okay, it's good that there is no injury." ”
"If only you weren't angry! I really didn't mean to. The little girl grabbed the hem of her skirt and twisted it vigorously, her cheeks that continued to flush after the tears subsided, looking very cute with pink toots.
"I said it's okay, so don't go to my heart anymore? My name is Yang Ying'er, what's your name? ”
"My name is Xiao Tao, Kui Xiao Tao!"
Aoi Xiaotao! Sunflower? It can't be such a coincidence, right!?
