Rong's mother's expression suddenly became very abnormal, which made Rongyue a little puzzled. She asked doubtfully: "Mom, what's wrong?"
Rong's mother looked at her with a complicated expression: "Here, there is only one person invited on this invitation."
Rongyue's expression did not change: "It is the Shen family after all, so this is normal!"
Generally, for this kind of banquet, when invitations are sent to a family, the whole family is invited. Unless there is a special occasion, an additional invitation will be specially sent to someone in the family.
Although the second brother of the Rong family is separated and not a direct descendant, after all, Rong's father and the head of the Rong family are biological brothers. When everyone sends invitations to the Rong family, they will often give an invitation to the second brother of the Rong family for the sake of face.
of.
But this is just an ordinary family.
For example, in this recognition banquet held by the Shen family, only close friends will be invited. The second room of the Rong family is not eligible to be invited, so it is normal to only send invitations to one person.
After Rongyue finished speaking, she stood up. She walked to Rong's mother and suddenly lowered her eyes: "Mom, it's okay. I have an invitation, so I can take you there."
After saying that, she looked at Rongrong: "Sister, do you want to go together?"
Before Rongrong could answer, she bit her lip: "But it's only my name, but I'm bringing two people there. Wouldn't it be impolite?"
As soon as these words came out, she immediately covered her mouth, "But if you really want to go, sister, that's okay. You really should get to know Miss Shen's family more."
As soon as she said this, Father Rong sneered: "Where is she going? It's not shameful enough to go! If someone asked her what she learned during those thirteen years abroad, how would she answer? She learned how to step on her feet.
Sewing machine mom?!”
Rongyue spoke immediately: "Dad, don't talk about sister like that."
Then he looked at Rongrong hypocritically: "Sister, don't worry, I will take you there!"
Rongrong clenched his fists tightly.
From the day she returned home, her parents did not welcome her, and her sister was still here to disgust her. This home did not belong to her at all.
She lowered her eyes and said calmly: "I won't go."
Rong Yue wanted to say something else, but Father Rong looked at her gently: "Xiao Yue, just take your mother with you and ask your mother to help you more. You are so good, you will definitely find a good young man.
Talent!"
Rongyue sighed, nodded, and stretched out her hand to Rong's mother: "Mom, please give me the invitation and I'll put it away."
But after saying this, Rong's mother kept staring at the invitation, as if she wanted to see through the words on it.
Rongyue walked over, "Mom, what's wrong with you? The name on it won't change again..."
Before she finished speaking, Rong Yue was stunned. She stared at the words on the invitation in disbelief: Miss Rong is sincerely invited to come.
Rong Rong!!
How could...how could it be possible!
She clenched her fists tightly, "Did I write it wrong?"
Rong's mother finally came to her senses. She looked at Rong Rong who was walking towards the kitchen and asked, "Rong Rong, do you know the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"
Rongrong didn't look back and said in a calm voice: "I don't know you."
Rong's mother seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief: "Then it seems that there is a mistake. Xiaoyue, when you were chatting with Miss Shen yesterday, did you say that you were the second child in our family?"
Rongyue shook his head.
These days, when anyone goes out to introduce themselves, they will say that they are the eldest child in the family!
Rongyue bit her lip, "These years, when my sister is not at home, people outside actually think that I am the eldest lady of our family..."
Rong's mother understood immediately and nodded: "Yes, and the invitations are usually prepared by the housekeeper. Miss Shen probably mentioned something to the housekeeper about the second wife of the Rong family, and the housekeeper misunderstood something..."
After the mother and daughter finished speaking, they looked at each other and thought they had found the answer.
Rongyue glanced at Rongrong: "Are you still bringing your sister with you?"
Mother Rong decided directly: "I won't bring it. This is an invitation for you! And isn't she a noble person? Since your sister doesn't like this kind of banquet, then don't go."
Rongyue nodded.
In the kitchen, Rong Rong paused while listening to the conversation between the two.
It's not that she doesn't like this kind of banquet.
When my grandfather was still alive, the two families were not separated. She was also a direct daughter of the Rong family, and she was always the center of attention every time she attended a banquet.
She was lively and active at that time, and sometimes she would play the violin for everyone. She was also a famous lady in Kyoto.
But now, no one will remember her, right?
With this thought in mind, she opened the pot and wanted to have breakfast, but found that the pot was empty and had been cleaned.
At this time, the nanny packed up the tableware that Rong's mother and others had finished eating and was about to come in and wash up. When she saw her, she immediately spoke: "Oh, miss, look at me, I forgot that you washed the pot before you even had a meal.
...Or I can make you something to eat now?"
Rongrong tightened his fingers and said, "No need."
She turned and walked out of the kitchen door.
As soon as they came out, they saw Rong's mother and Rongyue standing outside. Apparently they had heard what they just said, but Rong's mother had no reaction and just scolded her: "Who asked you to get up so late? You deserve to be without food!"
Rong's mother said sternly: "The rules of the Rong family are that you must get up at seven in the morning. If you get up late today, you will not be allowed to have breakfast!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Rongyue: "Xiaoyue, hurry up and let's go buy two dresses for the banquet in three days."
Mother and daughter left side by side happily.
Rongrong stood in the living room, feeling at a loss for a moment.
It seems like she shouldn't be in this world, shouldn't appear in this home...
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then the housekeeper said: "Miss, Doctor Xu is here to see you..."
Rong Rong looked at the door and saw Dr. Xu slowly walking over. He was still holding breakfast in his hand and with a smile on his face: "Xiao Rong, have you had breakfast? I brought you dough sticks and soy milk."
Rongrong's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but ask: "What if I eat it?"
Dr. Xu smiled and put the breakfast next to him, "I just passed by a fried dough stick shop and saw the golden ones. I thought they were delicious and wanted you to try them. Since you have had breakfast, you don't want these. If they are wasted, throw them away.
alright……"
On the other hand, she obviously had food, but she threw it away because she got up late.
The other side clearly didn't know whether she had eaten breakfast, but he still wanted to buy it for her to try.
Rongrong's eyes turned slightly red, and she suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't eat."
She took Dr. Xu's breakfast and walked to the table next to her to sit down.
Dr. Xu followed her and sat next to her. Seeing that she kept her head down and looked a little unhappy, she said gently: "When I first entered the door, I saw that my aunt took your sister out to buy a dress. It was for
Is it the Shen family's recognition party? Do you need me to accompany you to buy a dress? "
Rong Rong paused in his eating movements and then said: "No need."
Dr. Xu was puzzled: "Why? I know you must have a dress, but don't girls like to wear new dresses?"
Rong Rong tightened his fingers and raised his head, "Because I was not invited to that banquet."
When Dr. Xu heard this, his eyes darkened slightly.
After a while, he chuckled, and suddenly took out an invitation letter from his pocket: "I know your situation at home may not be very good, so I tried my best to get an invitation letter, Xiao Rong,
Are you willing to be my female companion and accompany me to attend?"
Rongrong was stunned.
Her eye circles gradually turned red.
Doctor Xu smiled and rubbed her head: "Eat quickly. After eating, I will take you shopping. My goddess must be the most beautiful."
Rongrong lowered his head, tears falling into the soy milk.
She took a big bite of the fried dough sticks, and after swallowing it, she looked at Dr. Xu and said, "I still won't go. That kind of occasion is not suitable for me."
"No." Dr. Xu stared at her, "Xiao Rong, everyone has a bad side. No one will ask about other people's past. Put everything aside and try it. You will find a different world."
He held Rong Rong's hand, and this time, Rong Rong did not push it away.
She suddenly felt that this world might be quite warm.
