Chapter 57: The Xiao Family's Family Banquet
"Alright. I'll wait for you."
After Sheng Wanning finished speaking, she hurriedly hung up the phone and went to send a message to Zhen Liang.
[Tonight's meeting will be postponed to tomorrow, at the same time and in the same place]
Zhen Liang agreed without hesitation.
When she was about to get off work, she packed up her things, customized a new dress with the store, and made up a special makeup.
Although it is not a social meeting, after all, it is attended with Li Yanting, and it cannot be compared to the man next to him who is dressed in a noble suit and has extraordinary handsomeness.
Outside the Li Group.
Li Yanting sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce and waited for nearly ten minutes, but Sheng Wanning hadn't come down yet.
He wanted to call to urge, but he was worried about making her angry, so he finally continued to wait silently.
Half an hour passed.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, Li Yanting took it for granted that it was Sheng Wanning, didn't look at the caller ID to pick it up, and said slightly, "Why hasn't it come down for so long? What's wrong?"
Suddenly, a low, neutral smoke voice came from the phone.
"It's me."
Hearing this voice, Li Yanting immediately twisted his eyebrows, and his voice instantly became cold: "Auntie, what are you looking for me?"
"Oh, what, it's not your girlfriend, disappointed?" Li Sanqing sneered, and deliberately accentuated his tone when he said the word "girlfriend".
A few cold lights flashed in Li Yanting's eyes.
He didn't mention Sheng Wanning's identity in front of Li Sanqing, and the title of "girlfriend" was said by Liu Song when he dealt with his sister Mrs. Xiao.
Why does Li Sanqing also use the word "girlfriend"?
Unless...... His sister has already exchanged news with Li Sanqing.
Thinking of this, his thin lips lifted slightly: "My aunt is busy with affairs, if you have something to find your nephew, you might as well say it directly."
"It's okay, it's not busy, my eldest niece invited me to dinner, and said that you would bring your girlfriend with you, just in time to meet my future niece and daughter-in-law. I missed her a little bit when I went back to the airport."
Li Yanting's narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
Li Sanqing will also go to Xiao's house?
Since Sheng Wanning asked about the hospital boy, he had already guessed that Li Sanqing was blaming him behind his back, and he couldn't be clearer about what he was thinking.
The Li family is about to reach the critical time to determine the next head of the family, and he and Li Sanqing are the candidates with the biggest wins.
Because he privately signed a "smoke bomb" agreement with Dilong City, even if he would find a way to revoke its validity in the future, after all, he was cooperating with outsiders behind the Li family's back. This is a big taboo in the Li family.
If Li Sanqing stumbles with this matter, it will undoubtedly affect his chances of winning the position of head of the family.
However, what Li Sanqing did in China was also not tolerated by the Li family.
They each have each other's handles, and they are comparable.
But if he gets married, the situation will be different.
According to the Li family rules, the candidate heir to marry has two opportunities to identify stones at the stone appraisal conference, and the highest appraisal score of the two will undoubtedly greatly increase the probability of winning.
Li Sanqing is still single at the moment, and he only knew that he and Sheng Wanning were close, and he couldn't hold back the tricks behind his back to instigate Sheng Wanning to leave him.
If he learned that he was married, he couldn't predict what he would do to Sheng Wanning.
It's not that he's afraid of Li Sanqing.
The main reason is that Sheng Wanning's heart for him has been flickering, and he is afraid that she is not firm enough and will be separated and leave him again. There is one such thing, and there can be no two!
In this case, he does not plan to make the relationship public until he is absolutely sure.
Let's participate in this family banquet as a "girlfriend" first.
"Auntie, don't worry, my girlfriend and I will definitely come as promised."
As he spoke, his deep dark eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a beautiful figure outside the window, his expression froze, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "She's here." We'll see you later."
After hanging up, he pushed the door open and stepped out with his long legs.
Sheng Wanning was wearing a pink princess at this time
The skirt makes her a little sweet and cute, and the soft and luxurious silk fabric like moonlight wraps her beautiful figure, making people unable to take their eyes off.
The long curly hair, half loosely curled with pink ribbons, half draped over his shoulders, his head bowed, looking at the ground, his handbag tightly grasped in one hand, and the long skirt in the other, carefully striding the steps.
Suddenly, a black shadow covered her whole body in front of her, and as soon as she raised her eyes to see the person who came, a powerful arm had instantly wrapped around her slender waist, and then the whole person was held horizontally by him and rose to the ground.
"Li Yanting, this is at the door of the company......" she lowered her voice to remind.
"What are you afraid of, you're dressed like this, who else can recognize you but me?"
She blushed.
Today she ordered a dress, but the other party gave her black dress to someone else, and she only received a pale pink dress......
This quiet and elegant lady Fan is indeed too different from her usual days.
But......
"Even if they don't recognize me, they can recognize you...... If you get seen, your PR team will be busy again......
"Otherwise, what does Madame think is the purpose of the existence of the Public Relations Department?"
Sheng Wanning was speechless by him.
Also, the PR department is not here to clean up the mess. Naturally, this also includes the mess of him, the president.
Ignoring the surprised looks of the employees next to him, Li Yanting walked towards the Rolls-Royce with firm and steady steps, and sat down tightly after putting her in the chair.
As soon as the door closed, the luxury car sped along the garden roundabout outside the group, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
Sheng Wanning combed her skirt and hair in the back seat.
"Aren't you going to tell me who you're going to meet?" She asked with a blank face.
"There are acquaintances, you can guess." He said lightly.
"Acquaintances? An acquaintance you and I both know?"
Sheng Wanning raised her eyelids lightly, put her fingertips on her lips, pondered, and suddenly her beautiful eyes flashed.
"Could it be your eldest nephew, Xiao Sicheng?"
The corners of Li Yanting's mouth showed a hint of displeasure, and she guessed it with a guess, and sure enough, she still had an immortal heart for the "thief" in Xiaosi City.
"Madame is so witty." He loosened his tie and looked calm.
Sheng Wanning suddenly had the feeling that someone had poured a bucket of cold water from a high altitude while walking on the street, and it was cold.
Still witty?
Witty uncle!
The last time she was in a private hospital, the scene was so embarrassing that she never wanted to see that man again.
Now that she is dressed as such a "fairy" to see him, maybe the narcissist thinks that she still likes him and wants to redeem him.
She looked at Li Yanting's delicate side face in shock and anger, obviously every cell was revealing indifferent indifference, but it exuded a different charm all the time. Z.br>
Secret Dao: Does this damn Yankong killer still have a heart? So generously took her to meet her ex-boyfriend?
In the past, he would be jealous because she attended the wedding in Xiaosicheng, but now he took her to meet her ex-boyfriend so generously.
Sure enough, as she had guessed, the man hadn't cared about her that much since she shamelessly kept him at the airport.
Her heart was empty for a while, and she said coldly, "I want to get out of the car."
"What?"
"It's nothing, I just don't want to see him."
Li Yan Ting raised his eyebrows, "It's not just him, but other people."
At this time, their car was less than a five-minute drive away from the Xiao family's mansion.
Seeing Sheng Wanning's confused face, he took advantage of the last five minutes to explain to her, anyway, she had no way out.
"This time, my sister, that is, Xiao Sicheng's mother, Mrs. Xiao, invited you by name. I'll just say you're my girlfriend, so don't stress too much." As if thinking of something, he added, "My aunt will come too." You should have seen her."
A barrage of information swept through her mind like a bombardment.
blink
The brain does not grow.
Only desolation remains.
"Well done." At the same time that Sheng Wanning gave Yan Ting a thumbs up, the car had already driven into the Xiao family's mansion.
She was sold by her husband and forced to come to see his relatives.
She thought she was accompanying him to business entertainment, even Li Sanqing came, plus Xiao Sicheng's nominal ex-boyfriend, isn't this a proper Hongmen banquet?
Now, even if she wanted to back down, it was too late.
There is no other choice but to rise to the challenge.
After Li Yanting got out of the car, he opened the car door for her and comforted, "Don't be nervous, I'm here."
"You're the one to be nervous."
After putting down this unclear declaration, she accepted his support, lifted the corners of her skirt with joy, and walked along the immaculate green jade floor tiles towards an American-style mansion.
The towering maroon roof, green lawn, exotic, solemn and solemn temperament, round arched windows and corner stone workmanship are exquisitely carved, showing grace and luxury.
The servant greeted him respectfully and said, "Mr. Li, Miss Sheng, the lord and the lady have been waiting inside for a long time. Please come with me."
"Hmm." After Li Yanting replied lightly, her slender and clean big hand led her to follow the maid into the main hall of the mansion.
The American-style closet and the classical dark grid wine cabinet are uniquely designed, the luxurious lighting shines brightly, and under the dazzling chandelier, several complicated lines of sight on the orange-red leather sofa are cast on the two handsome men and women.
"Sir, madam, everyone is here."
As soon as the maid's voice fell, Li Yan Ting politely addressed the elders on the sofa in turn, "Auntie, brother-in-law, sister."
Sheng Wanning didn't speak, and glanced at the people on the sofa with faint eyes.
Li Sanqing sat on a separate chaise longue, holding a thin cigarette in his hand, his legs were folded, raised high, his bright red short hair was sassy, and his dark red contact lenses were shining with sharp handles.
As for the main seat of the sofa, from left to right is the white-haired old man Xiao Ruofeng, the graceful lady Mrs. Xiao, Lin Yueer in a plain skirt, and the son-in-law Brother Xiaosi Cheng in a white suit.
Compared with Xiao Ruofeng and Mrs. Xiao's calm expressions, Xiao Sicheng and Lin Yue'er obviously had ugly faces.
Especially Lin Yue'er.
During the day, she was also in the Audi car, and she subconsciously hid when she saw Sheng Wanning.
I didn't expect to hide around and meet Sheng Wanning again in such a way.
Her palms trembled.
A bell-like voice sounded in his ears: "Yan Ting, you haven't been here for a long time, come and sit."
After Xiao Ruofeng finished speaking, he turned to the housekeeper: "Let the back kitchen prepare the dishes, and the table will be served in twenty minutes."
"Yes."
Steward Xiao bowed his body and hurried away.
Li Yanting walked to the sofa with Sheng Wanning, and suddenly heard Mrs. Xiao's tone beckoning to Sheng Wanning with enthusiasm, "Miss Sheng, come and sit here."
Sheng Wanning's expression was slightly sluggish, and she looked at the position indicated by Mrs. Xiao, which happened to be in the middle of Mrs. Xiao and Lin Yue'er.
She stared at Lin Yue'er's slightly bulging lower abdomen and smiled.
"Mrs. Xie's good intentions! This is the young lady next to you, right? She seems to be pregnant, and I'm afraid I'll squeeze her."
