When Qiu Bailu stood in the backyard of her villa with the invitation in her hand, she felt a little uneasy.
Although she didn't know why her father usually admired Huo Dongheng very much, but when it came to her marriage, she felt that he was not a good candidate. But no matter what, he finally agreed to the matter.
She actually cares more about another person than her father's opinion.
When Huo Dongheng first came to the Qiu family, he was not alone.
Huo Dongheng's aunt, named Su Wenwan, lived in the villa in the backyard of Qiu's family for more than ten years, but Qiu Bailu saw her countless times.
In her memory, this reclusive woman seemed to dislike lively occasions. She only briefly met her once at her coming-of-age dance, received a white jade bracelet from her, and then returned to her.
Never seen her.
Huo Dongheng once told her that his aunt was as important to him as his mother. Huo Dongheng's parents were killed in a car accident. After their death, Huo Dongheng was raised by Su Wenwan alone. I heard that Su Wenwan, for him,
They haven't gotten married in these years, and the relationship between the two is evident.
Qiu Bailu didn't know why, but she always felt afraid of this woman she rarely met. Perhaps it was because Su Wenwan left such a deep impression on her during that meeting.
That year, Qiu Bailu was 18 years old, and Qiu Chengjia held a grand coming-of-age dance for her. All the prominent people in Binhai City were invited to attend. Just when the dance was in full swing, Su Wenwan suddenly appeared. She wore a dress that is now extremely difficult to find on the market.
The old-style cheongsam, the bottom of the black cheongsam is inlaid with silver borders, as if stepping on the clouds and mist, the thick black hair is tightly tied behind the head, the fair face has no expression, the whole person seems to have come from
The characters who come out of ancient paintings are not like the fireworks of the human world.
She didn't say hello to anyone, and walked straight across the dance floor where the singing and dancing was lively, walked up to Qiu Bai, and handed over the neatly wrapped gift box. Her movements were soft and calm, but she had a toughness that was irresistible.
Apart from her mother, Qiu Bailu had never seen such a dignified woman, so when she took the gift box from her hand, she even forgot to say thank you.
But the ugly daughter-in-law always wanted to see her parents-in-law. Qiu Bailu gritted her teeth, stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
The maid opened the door. She was startled when she saw Qiu Bailu. After hearing Qiu Bailu explain her purpose, she immediately led her in.
When Qiu Bailu entered the living room, Su Wenwan was also sitting on the sofa. She held a photo in her hand, but her eyes fell on a very far away place.
Time seems to be particularly kind to this woman. After so many years, she has not aged at all. She still looks like the first time Qiu Bailu saw her, with a beautiful appearance, but a kind of ice-cold indifference.
"Auntie, Dong Heng and I are going to have a wedding next month. I hope you can attend." Qiu Bailu stepped forward and handed over the invitation.
Su Wenwan didn't answer, she didn't even look at Qiu Bailu. She seemed to be immersed in a dream that she couldn't get out of, motionless. It wasn't until the maid brought the tea and the exquisite porcelain fell on the table with a crisp crashing sound that she
Attracting her attention, "You're here, why don't you sit down? What is this?"
Su Wenwan's voice was not high, but Qiu Bailu was a little frightened. When she took the invitation, Qiu Bailu was like a child who had done something wrong. She hid her hands behind her back and gently rubbed her sore wrists.
, she smiled and said, "I know that auntie likes Chinese culture the most, so I specially chose a set of cheongsam as part of the dress. I will ask auntie to help me take a look in a few days."
"I only wear it and don't show it to others. If you want to cut your clothes, you should find a tailor." Su Wenwan casually left the invitation card on the table, and the fiery red kapok was dyed with a few faint traces from the spilled tea.
Qiu Bailu was choked, but she was not angry. When she thought that this woman was the one who had taken care of Huo Dongheng for many years, she was only grateful to her, "Auntie, don't say that. Dongheng told me that when Auntie was young,
She is a famous cheongsam beauty in the city. I am young and have no knowledge. I ask my aunt to give me more guidance in the future."
Qiu Bailu's voice was soft, like melted honey. Few people could refuse it, but Su Wenwan was not one of them. Hearing her praise herself in this way, Su Wenwan just raised the corners of her lips and said, "Miss Qiu family,
You don't need the help of an old woman like me. It's his blessing and luck that you can marry Dong Heng. You don't need to be humble in front of me. You will be with him from now on.
