The birthday party lasted until about half past eight in the evening, and people began to leave one after another.

Xiao Zishan took Xiao Yuling to stand at the door of the banquet hall to see off the guests, Xiao Zishan looked obviously a little absent-minded, always looking around, as if looking for something.

"Dad. ”

Xiao Yuhe walked behind his Lao Tzu and whispered in his father's ear, "Why hasn't the third young master of the Chu family come yet?"

Xiao Zishan took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and said anxiously: "I don't know, I said I was coming." ”

"It can't be that our family has done something to make him feel unhappy, right?" Xiao Yuhe said in a deep voice.

Xiao Zishan was worried about this, if Chu Yunfei started a fire, their Xiao family would not be able to withstand the anger of his Chu Sanshao.

"Do you want me to call the third young master of the Chu family to ask about the situation?" Xiao Yuhe said.

"Don't. ”

Xiao Zishan hurriedly stopped, "People are here to give us face, but if they don't come, we can't say anything." The Chu family is the sky above our heads, and if our Xiao family wants to go to the next level, we will have to rely on the support of the Chu family in the future. ”

"What a basket of strange things lately. The Long family's business in Cloud City is doing well, why did they suddenly withdraw? They also sold their business to our three major families at a price far below the market price. Do you think this matter is being promoted by the Chu family behind the scenes?" Xiao Yuhe asked puzzled.

Xiao Zishan shook his head, he was also puzzled, but he believed that the Chu family did not have the ability to make the Long family withdraw from Cloud City.

In the process of interviewing the Long family, he tried many times in vain to extract something from the mouth of the Long family, but he did not get any useful information.

Why did the Long family suddenly withdraw from Cloud City, the three major families all wanted to know the reason, but they couldn't find an answer.

The three major families got a big bargain for no reason, but none of the people at the helm of the three families were happy, and even had trouble sleeping, who knows if the Long family would throw them a hot potato.

"The third young master of the Chu family is here!"

At this moment, a manager of the hotel ran over with a shout, ran to Xiao Zishan, and said breathlessly: "Chairman, the third young master of the Chu family is here, and the convoy has arrived downstairs." More than a dozen cars came, bringing a lot of things. ”

"With ...... What did you bring?" Xiao Zishan hurriedly asked, so nervous that he stuttered.

"Good...... It seems to be ...... Dowry. ”

Hearing the word "dowry", Xiao Zishan and Xiao Yuhe, the father and son, immediately had a happy look on their faces.

"Great, great. ”

The other Xiao family members in the banquet hall were also so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, only Xiao Yuling, who was standing at the door, seemed to have fallen into a hell, his face was full of sadness and despair.

She had been preparing for eighteen years, and when it came to this day, she still found that she was not ready.

The shackles of fate are about to tie her to death, the Chu family has given a dowry, and she will marry her soon, and she will spend her life with a man she does not love and fears deeply.

What a sorrow!

All the Xiao family members were celebrating this moment, and only Xiao Yuling was silently drinking tears. She and her family camp are less like relatives than enemies.

The only person in this family who cares about her is her mother, but she has long been paralyzed in bed and cannot take care of herself, while the rest of the people are jackals, tigers and leopards, including her father and brother, who use her as a bargaining chip to win the interests of the family.

Nominally, she is the eldest lady of the Xiao family, with infinite scenery, I don't know how many girls envy her for having such a good family.

In fact, she is just a weak woman, at the mercy of fate, unable to decide her life's events.

From childhood to adulthood, the family has extremely strict requirements for her, rules and steps, even how to walk, how to smile, how to eat, there are strict requirements, the slightest carelessness, a little mistake, will be punished.

"Yuling, what's the matter with you, why are you crying?"

Xiao Zishan's cold voice drilled into Xiao Yuling's ears.

"Put away your tears! The third young master of the Chu family will be here soon! Don't let her see your depressed face! Remember, today is a big day of double happiness!"

His father represented majesty and authority, and from a young age, Xiao Yuling was admonished not to rebel against his father's authority. Xiao Zishan's words are an order for her!

"Oh, my little aunt, you're crying with all your makeup. If the third young master of the Chu family sees it in a while, what if he is unhappy, do you want to kill the whole family?"

A plump middle-aged woman walked over, she was Xiao Meiying, Xiao Zishan's sister Xiao Yuling's aunt, with a soybean-sized mole on her chin on her white face. Her personality is as bitter as her countenance.

"Girl, what's upset? You should be happy. You will be a member of the Chu family soon, I don't know how many girls in this world want to marry into the Chu family. The Chu family is not an ordinary wealthy family, it is a wealthy family among wealthy families!"

Xiao Yuling's second uncle, Xiao Zifeng, glanced at his daughter, who was as fat as a fat pig, and sighed helplessly. If it weren't for the fact that his daughter was really ugly, he would have loved to send his daughter to Chu Yunfei's bed.

"Cousin, your makeup is crying, I'll take you inside to make up your makeup. ”

A young woman wearing a black V-neck high-slit evening dress with heavy makeup and a hated sky walked over with a water snake waist, swaying a dazzling ***** waves, it was Xiao Meiying's daughter Xu Qiaoli, she took Xiao Yuling's hand, and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, why are your hands so cold?"

"Qiaoli, take your cousin to touch up her makeup. The third young master of the Chu family is about to arrive, and her appearance will make Chu Sanshao unhappy. ”

"Let's go and touch up. ”

Xu Qiaoli pulled Xiao Yuling to the lounge in the banquet hall, and Xiao Meiying twisted her plump/plump big ass and followed.

......

Chu Yunfei rushed to the banquet hall with a large group of people, followed by all the attendants carrying the dowry gifts, and a long queue of nearly 100 meters came in a hurry.

"The third young master is here, and I have missed the distance, please forgive me!"

Xiao Zishan took the important people of the Xiao family and trotted up to greet them, all of them with smiles on their faces.

"Haha, Lord Yue-in-law is polite, the son-in-law has some things delayed, and it is long overdue, please don't be surprised. ”

Chu Yunfei's gaze swept over the faces of this group of people, and he didn't find Xiao Yuling, and the smile on his face cooled.

"Where's Sister Yuling?"

Xiao Yuhe said: "Third young master, my sister-in-law is shy, she knew that you were coming, so she hid." ”

Xiao Zishan said: "Yes, yes, the third young master, please come in, I'll go and call Yuling out to see you." ”
