Chapter 100: Rites of Passage
As the melodious piano music sounded, Meng Xiaowen, dressed in a white dress, slowly walked down the curved staircase on the second floor.
I have to say that Meng Xiaowen is definitely a beauty, and the exposed shoulder skin does not look inferior to the white dress against the background, anyone with a slightly worse skin tone can't wear this kind of off-the-shoulder white dress, it will look very dark.
The hair is like a waterfall falling down, straight down to the waist, the strong contrast of black and white brings people a great visual impact, in the hair scattered, a casual action of picking up the hair can make people's heartstrings beat, I just feel that this girl is really beautiful, the beauty is extraordinary.
His father greeted Meng Xiaowen when she walked down the stairs, Meng Xiaowen naturally grabbed her father's arm and followed her father into the stage of the hall.
Ding Ning is the first time to see Meng Xiaowen's father, this man with gold wire glasses is very personable, at first glance he is a person in a high position, and he looks very elegant, Meng Xiaowen's excellent genes should be inherited from her father.
As the piano music slowly stopped, the Meng family father and daughter stood on the stage.
Meng Xiaowen's father approached the microphone and gently pressed his palm against the audience, and the applause stopped.
"Everyone, welcome to the little girl's coming-of-age ceremony today, in Xia Meng Guodong. ”
Meng Guodong gave a speech and said a lot of words, Ding Ning was listening, and suddenly a text message was received on his mobile phone.
Ding Ning took it out and looked at it, it was sent by Sanyan.
"I know about the gold, someone is looking for me, Brother Ding, you have to be careful. ”
The text message is short, but it says something very important.
If Ding Ning didn't know about the gold case, he might still be puzzled, but now he understands that the three eyes are very dangerous! and he may still be in trouble.
Quietly put the phone back, Ding Ning's face was as usual, this kid can still send text messages, it proves that it's okay, and I'll go to him when the matter here is over.
At this time, Meng Guodong on the stage had already finished speaking, and then it was time to dance.
This kind of occasion is to dance, Meng Xiaowen also said some words of gratitude to her parents for their nurturing grace, and then the first dance was with her father.
The red men and green women in the venue danced, singing and dancing, Ding Ning didn't want to dance, so he sat back in the corner, thinking about how to find Sanyan for a while.
Next to him, Jin Mingshun didn't go down to dance, but kept standing here, and several female classmates invited him, but he also refused with a smile.
And Ding Ning noticed that Yue Ge'er didn't dance either.
The first dance was over, and then he could be invited freely, Jin Mingshun, who had been standing, finally got up and walked over to Meng Xiaowen with a smile.
After Meng Xiaowen and her father finished dancing, they also walked over here, and the smile on Jin Mingshun's face was even stronger, and he was almost about to stretch out his hand.
His hand stretched out, but Meng Xiaowen crossed shoulders with him and came directly to Ding Ning's side: "Ding Ning, can I invite you to dance?"
Ding Ning looked left and right, "Of course you can." ”
This bit of face still has to be given.
Holding Meng Xiaowen's hand and holding her slender waist, the two of them danced to the music.
Ding Ning originally didn't know how to dance, but he was a monk, and he could do it by cultivating against the sky, and he could catch such a trivial thing as dancing at a glance, and he was extremely skilled after taking two steps.
There were definitely not a few people in the hall who paid attention to the two of them.
Jin Mingshun withdrew his hand embarrassedly and muttered to himself: "It seems that I am still careless, but it is completely too late, and there is still a chance." ”
Meng Guodong, on the other hand, watched Meng Xiaowen and Ding Ning dance suspiciously, and casually asked the people around him: "Is this Xiaowen's classmate?"
Meng Xiaowen's brother Meng Xiaosong blinked, a little hesitant, he felt that Ding Ning was like the person who sold talisman paper at the beginning, his bodyguards had filmed Ding Ning's influence, but it was not very similar, fat and thin were much worse.
On the contrary, his bodyguard's eyesight was better, and after looking at it for a while, he said to Meng Xiaosong: "Young master, this person is the one who sold talisman paper at the beginning, and I will definitely not be wrong when he defeated me." ”
"Oh! Sure enough, it's him!"
Meng Xiaosong's eyes lit up, and he immediately told his father about it.
When Meng Guodong heard this, his eyes lit up: "Great, I haven't found it for so long, I didn't expect it to be Xiaowen's classmate, this is great, wait a minute, Xiaowen invited him over, your grandfather has wanted to meet this person for a long time." ”
"Okay, but Dad, look at Xiaowen, it seems to be good to this Ding Ning?"
Meng Guodong frowned slightly, he was from the past, so he naturally looked at the problem more thoroughly, and his daughter immediately ran to find that Ding Ning after dancing with herself, although she didn't see a big problem, but I'm afraid there were already some signs.
Meng Xiaosong continued: "Dad, let's not talk about this Ding Ning, you must know that today's Xiaowen's coming-of-age ceremony, the Jin family has made a lot of contributions, and that old Jin has already made Xiaowen his daughter-in-law, so I'll tell you about it." ”
Meng Guodong frowned even more, if Meng Xiaowen really had affection for Ding Ning, this matter would be difficult to get, it was not a secret that Jin Mingshun of the Jin family liked his daughter, the old man did not say anything about this matter, and Meng Xiaowen herself said that she didn't want to talk about friends so early, so this matter dragged on.
For today, the Jin family deliberately cleared the night blue early, although it was a coming-of-age ceremony for Meng Xiaowen, but the meaning of it was also well known, this is preparing to marry the Meng family.
The Jin family is also one of the best big families in Binhai, the family is in politics, the head of the Jin family is the current deputy secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee, and it is very likely to progress in this year's election, if you can climb to the position of the secretary of the municipal party committee, it is the existence of the center.
For such a thing, Meng Guodong was originally happy to see it come to fruition, but at the moment, if Meng Xiaowen was tempted by Ding Ning, he was afraid that the Jin family would not be able to explain it.
"You watch here first, and I'll go meet your grandfather. ”
Saying that, Meng Guodong went straight to the second floor, and the old man also came today, but the old man didn't want to appear in the crowd, he just came to see his granddaughter grow up.
Meng Xiaosong also realized the seriousness of the problem, was silent, and said in his heart, sister, you have to take it easy.
Ding Ning and Meng Xiaowen danced, squeezing each other's soft and boneless little hands, and didn't have too many thoughts in their hearts, Meng Xiaowen was beautiful, but he was a monk, and the path he wanted to take was destined to be different from ordinary people, and he didn't want to have anything to do with any woman.
On the contrary, Meng Xiaowen was very happy, and at the end of the dance, she said to Ding Ning: "Xiexie, I have always carried the gift you gave me." ”
"If you like it, if you like. ”
Ding Ning let go of his hand with a smile and prepared to go down.
At this time, Jin Mingshun, who had been beside him, came over and said to Meng Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, let's dance a song." ”
Meng Xiaowen glanced at Jin Mingshun, then at Ding Ning, and waved her hand: "Forget it, I'm a little tired, so I won't jump today." ”
After saying that, Meng Xiaowen returned to her family, and Jin Mingshun's face was a little ugly.
has already walked out, it would be too embarrassing for him to go back so embarrassed, looking left and right, he walked to Yue Ge'er who was standing on the side.
He has also been paying attention to this girl for a long time, she is not very old, and she is quite beautiful, and she is inseparable from Meng Xiaowen, but he has always been thinking about dancing with Meng Xiaowen, and he is embarrassed to invite her, but now that Meng Xiaowen is not dancing, there is no problem for him to invite.
Slowly walking towards Yue Ge'er, Jin Mingshun stretched out his hand to invite: "Beautiful young lady, can we dance together?"
"No, I think I've found a dance partner. ”
Yue Ge'er refused more simply, walked directly past Jin Mingshun's side, and walked towards Ding Ning, who was about to end.
"Sir, you have time, can you teach me to dance?"
Ding Ning smiled bitterly, Yue Ge'er's tone was slightly pantothenic, did she complain that she didn't ask her to dance in her first dance.
"My pleasure. ”
Ding Ning took Yue Ge'er's little hand and entered the dance floor again.
Jin Mingshun wanted to find a crack to drill into at this time, and he failed continuously, this was the first time in his life, and he had never been so embarrassed.
After all, the young man's cultivation was not deep enough, Jin Mingshun walked out of the dance floor with a blue face, turned a blind eye to the two women around him who wanted to invite him, and directly found a person: "Check it out for me, where did this earth leopard come from? I want him to make a fool of himself in public today!"
Ding Ning was dancing with Yue Ge'er, and his sensitive hearing took Jin Mingshun's words into his ears.
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, since this is the case, let's see who is making a fool of himself.
