"Aunt Wan..." Li Yuanhang and Li Jiaqi were stunned at the same time.
Zhao Wanhua's face suddenly changed, all blood disappeared, her legs even became weak and she could not stand firmly. Fortunately, Li Hongtao held her in time to prevent her from falling.
"Wanhua, are you okay?!"
"It's okay." Zhao Wanhua tried her best to stay calm, but her heart was completely confused. After a long pause, she slowly spoke again and said quietly, "Hong Tao, I have something to ask you."
◎◎◎
The time had already reached 7 o'clock in the evening, and You Tong felt more and more anxious. He kept holding his mobile phone in his hand, waiting for someone to call.
She had already changed her clothes and put on a new long skirt. She didn't know why she did this. Anyway, she couldn't help it. After all, this was her first date with Rong Yuchi, and she wanted to look nice.
Uh, should we call it a date?!
Heartbeat, getting faster and faster
The cell phone in her hand suddenly vibrated, which numbed her entire nerves. She answered the call without looking at it, but it was Zhao Wanhua's voice on the other end of the phone. You Tong was suddenly startled, "Mom..."
"Xiaotong, mom has something to talk to you about. Let's meet." Zhao Wanhua's voice was slightly trembling, which made You Tong feel panicked subconsciously.
Moreover, the place she agreed on turned out to be Li's house
You Tong hung up the phone and set off immediately. She checked her watch. If she took a taxi back and forth, she should still be able to make it to the cinema in time.
The Li family is indeed a wealthy family. The atmosphere of Christmas Eve is vividly displayed inside and outside the villa. Two huge Christmas trees stand at the door, with colored lights on them, twinkling.
The servant took her to the side hall. Zhao Wanhua was already waiting there. Sitting next to her was Li Jiaqi. The latter looked a little proud and looked like he was waiting for a good show.
Suddenly, You Tong vaguely guessed something. It must be Li Jiaqi's complaint. His heart suddenly tightened, but he tried to stay calm, kept smiling, and walked slowly over.
"Xiaotong, you're here, sit down quickly." Zhao Wanhua seemed a little anxious, and stood up hurriedly, pulling her to sit down.
You Tong said "Hmm" and from the corner of his eye saw the increasingly obvious sneer on Li Jiaqi's lips.
"Xiaotong, mom came to you today because she has something to ask you. Didn't you have a bad time with Jiaqi when you went to Guangzhou to take the exam? Jiaqi said that someone stood up for you at that time, and that person was Rong Yuchi?!" Zhao Wanhua got straight to the point!
said
"Yes." You Tong did not deny it. Thinking of how he defended her at that time, she felt warm in her heart.
Hearing this, Zhao Wanhua's face froze, and she asked sternly, "What is his relationship with you?! Jia Qi said that you two are very close, is this true?!"
"Aunt Wan, the two of them are not just close, they are hugging each other!" Li Jiaqi said with added jealousy. Thinking of Rong Yuchi protecting You Tong at that time, she felt a wave of injustice in her heart.
You Tong secretly gritted her teeth. She didn't understand why Li Jiaqi could still be so arrogant. Why didn't she tell her that she had framed her for cheating?!
"Xiaotong, answer my question!" Zhao Wanhua said sharply, the strong tone in his tone not only stunned Youtong, but also Li Jiaqi.
The clear light in the room made You Tong's face seem a little transparent, and the flashing lights on the window made her eyes look a little blurry. She secretly grabbed the bag in her hand and replied firmly,
"I didn't cheat. He believed in me. That's why he did that."
Zhao Wanhua stared at You Tong, as if he was testing the authenticity of her words. Her eyes were so serious that it was scary. Li Jiaqi wanted to interrupt again, but she didn't dare. She had never seen Zhao Wanhua like this before.
Passed
You Tong's eyes didn't blink for a moment, her expression was calm, but her heart was turbulent. She secretly grabbed the bag in her hand, which contained the movie ticket. Maybe after tonight, her relationship with Rong Yuchi would be better.
There are some differences, but at this moment, she can't say
After a long while, Zhao Wanhua reached out and held You Tong's hand, and said softly but forcefully, "Xiaotong, mom believes you won't lie to me. You didn't cheat, and you didn't have anything to do with Rong Yuchi, right?!"
You Tong nodded heavily
Zhao Wanhua smiled slightly, patted her hand and said, "Xiaotong, stay for dinner tonight."
Hearing this, You Tong was shocked, and Li Jiaqi couldn't believe it. Who is You Tong and how could she stay at Li's house to eat?!
"Mom, I..." You Tong hurriedly declined. Firstly, it was inconvenient, and secondly, she wanted to go to the movies.
"Stay!" Zhao Wanhua held You Tong's hand tightly, pulled her towards the dining room, then turned to look at Li Jiaqi, and said calmly, "This is your father's wish. Today's dinner will be treated as your gift to You Tong."
Apologize"
Say, apologize?!
Li Jiaqi was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, and quickly got up and chased after him.
The three of them arrived at the dining room one after another. Food was already placed on the rectangular dining table. Li Hongtao sat at the main seat and Li Yuanhang sat on one side.
There are five sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, which have obviously been prepared for You Tong.
Li Jiaqi was furious, but Li Hongtao scolded, "Jiaqi, sit down!"
"..." Li Jiaqi pursed his lips and sat down reluctantly in his seat.
"Xiaotong, sit down, tonight is Christmas Eve, and we have to have dinner with our families." Li Hongtao said in a deep voice, and Zhao Wanhua looked at her gratefully.
family?!
You Tong was startled suddenly, and her eyes seemed to be in a trance. Zhao Wanhua took her hand and sat down, mother and daughter next to each other.
Li Hongtao spoke slowly again, "Xiaotong, you were wronged about the last exam. After today's meal, let the past matter be in the past, okay?!"
You Tong's expression was stiff. He was not very used to such an atmosphere, but he could only nod, "Uncle Li, you're welcome."
"Well, okay, let's eat"
Li Jiaqi looked angrily on the sidelines, why did his father also switch sides?!
She opened her mouth to speak several times, but she was glared back by Li Yuanhang's cold eyes.
The Christmas Eve dinner is a sumptuous meal for most ordinary families, not to mention the Li family. However, You Tong felt an indescribable taste in his heart as he ate the delicious dishes.
Sweet, what should be bitter is not bitter
Once upon a time, she was so eager to sit down and have a meal together as a family, but now...she is in front of the dining table, but her heart is far away.
Time passed by minute by minute, slowly pointing to 9 o'clock, the movie was about to start.
