Chapter 41: Invited (1)
Even if they don't understand the truth, I still can't see them say that you're not, maybe this is love.
Knowing that Li Xiaoxiao had not slept well because of Zhou Yinan's disappearance, and there were signs of miscarriage before, he automatically concealed the current facts and went with Tang Yan.
Zhou Yinan's uncle suddenly sent someone to the door, saying that he wanted to invite her to go there, put on a coat, and the moment he opened the door, the cool breeze slipped into the neckline, and he subconsciously shrank his neck.
On weekend mornings, the 10 o'clock stretch is the most congested time. From night on, she suddenly had morning sickness, and she vomited everything she ate.
Auntie felt sorry for her, and went out in the middle of the night to buy a lot of sour candy, when she went out, she took a few into her pocket, and at this time in the tightly closed carriage, the candy came in handy.
The car stopped and went, and it was originally an hour and a half away, but it took more than two hours to walk, and there were only two candies left in my pocket.
The car stopped in front of Zhou Honghai's house, not weaker than the old house of the Zhou family, the European-style pattern iron fence gate, four or five meters, there is a huge fountain pool in the center of the gate, in the early winter season, more or less unsightly.
The maid led her directly to the dining room, glanced at the time on her wrist, it turned out that it was already noon, and it was rare for her stomach to not protest, and the little hand in her pocket gently touched her lower abdomen.
Is the baby too sensible?
Imprinted in the eye, indeed unexpected accidents,
Li Yuchen, Wang Shan, Li Yiyi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Qin. Her father, stepmother, half-sister, and older grandparents.
They turned to look at her at almost the same time, and she didn't know what they were talking about, but she saw the rare smiles on their faces.
Kind and kind, but also strange and afraid.
Zhou Honghai and his wife should be sitting in the center, looking like a home, and next to them are Zhou Duhai and his wife in wheelchairs, but Zhou Yinan's parents are nowhere to be found.
"The third daughter-in-law is here," Zhou Honghai looked behind her, but there was no one, "Where is the third daughter-in-law?" ”
Li Xiaoxiao's hand was still in his pocket, and his right hand was tightly clutching the two candies in his pocket to relieve his tension, this kind of occasion, especially if he didn't say it in advance, but suddenly told it, it was not a good thing.
Besides, in the morning, the man said that he invited her, but it was obviously a look that you couldn't refuse.
"He was on a business trip, why didn't the uncle send someone to say it in advance, he was in too much of a hurry to go out, and he didn't have time to clean up properly, which made everyone laugh."
Zhou Honghai's wife Zhang Huilan got up and walked over, wearing a red and brown velvet dress, coupled with a sparkling pearl necklace around her neck, which set off her extraordinarily luxurious.
"How come, it's all a family, what jokes are not jokes."
As she spoke, her eyes inadvertently glanced at the Li family, and finally placed her place on Li Yuchen's right hand.
"The third child is really ignorant, he didn't even say anything about such a big thing as getting married, outsiders don't know and think that our Zhou family has a big business and can't tolerate one" Saying that, Zhou Honghai glanced at the people around her with disdain.
"Really?"
"Uncle misunderstood, I didn't want to make it public, I think it will be very troublesome."
Zhou Duhai snorted and laughed twice, "It's not a shame to marry our Zhou family!" ”
He Hua poked his arm from under the table and motioned for him to say less.
"Then since the third child has been made public at the press conference not long ago, then he is more or less not resistant to making it public, so let's choose a good day today, the wedding of the Zhou family is still going to be a big one!"
Zhou Honghai is like a big parent, talking about his thoughts to himself. When Wang Shan heard this, she was unusually excited.
"Of course you have to do it, besides, your Zhou family is not short of this money, right! The best combination of Chinese and Western ········"
Li Xiaoxiao bowed slightly, staring at the teacup in front of her, no matter how happy and excited they were, it had nothing to do with her, she was like a spectator, but the hero of the topic they discussed was her.
Suddenly, my stomach churned, and my thoughts drifted back to show that the maid was already serving.
What happened to be in front of her was a plate of braised fish, and it felt like it had reached her throat, so she pretended to be calm and took out a candy from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, and the uncomfortable feeling was suppressed by the sour candy.
Seeing her unwrapping the candy wrapper and putting the candy in her mouth, He Hua glanced at her disdainfully, "Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat, why do you still eat candy like a child!" It's not like I can't look down on your uncle's food, right? ”
The words were full of sowing discord, Li Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at Zhang Huilan beside Zhou Honghai, she smiled, no one knew what she thought in her heart.
In the middle, Li Xiaoxiao really couldn't resist the churning in her stomach, and during the meal, if she ate sugar in front of everyone, it might be really inappropriate, so she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.
Li Yiyi also got up and followed.
Li Xiaoxiao pushed open the door of the toilet, vomited on the toilet, and locked the door from the inside with one hand.
Li Yiyi was already a sixteen-year-old flower girl, and she more or less knew how to react to the voice coming from her arm.
After Li Xiaoxiao came out, she saw her hands behind her back, leaning against the wall, and her eyes flashed with wit, "Are you pregnant?" ”
The words of the interrogative sentence are full of affirmation.
Li Xiaoxiao looked at her, "So what?" Go out and tell them? ”
"Who cares about your, saying that they don't want to make it public, who knows if people don't want to let you in!"
It is not surprising that she can say such harsh words, Li Xiaoxiao is not surprised, close to Zhu is red, and close to ink is black.
"Then you came here today, that's really as you said, aren't you embarrassed to come here?"
Li Yiyi rolled his eyes one by one, "Who made you so stupid and offended people everywhere, otherwise others wouldn't have pulled the truth out of my mother's mouth with one meal." ”
Li Xiaoxiao chuckled, pursed her lips, turned on the faucet, wet her hands, and straightened her hair with her water-stained hands.
Li Xiaoxiao left the table, almost twenty minutes, and when he went out, many of them had already put down their chopsticks and were not ready to eat.
"Xiaoxiao, is the fish not delicious? Why don't you see you moving chopsticks? ”
The eldest aunt asked softly.
"It's because I don't like fish."
"You kid is talking nonsense, you forgot that when you were a child, you secretly ran to the river to catch fish, ran to the dirt pit to grill fish to eat, and almost burned yourself?"
I don't know what Wang Shan is trying her best to perform, during dinner, she always tries her best to dismantle her stage.
But the eldest aunt instantly understood it and excused her, "It's normal that the things I liked when I was a child may not always like them when I grow up." ”
After a meal, she already knew what they called her for, and now, she just wanted to escape from this place, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.
The servants cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and they also left the table and walked to the living room, and when they got up, Li Xiaoxiao whispered to Zhang Huilan's ear, "Auntie, if it's okay, I'll go back first." ”
There was obvious disagreement on her face, and then a servant ran in from outside, with a white layer of snowflakes hanging from his head and shoulders, "Sir, madam, it's snowing!" ”
