And depending on others, what if others abandon her one day?
So she wants to rely on herself, she needs to be strong!
"Anyway, you're coming with me tonight!"
"Tonight is really not possible. I need money urgently." Xiaoyi shook her head. How could she have time to attend the banquet? She even wanted to skip the meal.
"How much?" Mrs. Gu asked her defensively.
"There are still three thousand left."
"If you want money, just say so! Why make so many excuses? Three thousand, I'll give it to you! But you must accompany me to the banquet tonight! I will give you the money after the banquet." Mrs. Gu looked at her with disgust.
One look at her made me feel embarrassed.
Xiaoyi wanted to refuse, because what she hated most was her mother's appearance of giving alms to beggars.
When the words came to his lips, he thought that Xiaobai's surgery must be done as soon as possible, so he swallowed the words: "I'll go, treat the money as if you lent it to me, and I will definitely return it to you."
"Okay, now follow me to do your hair, and your style will be completely changed!"
"I have work in the morning, noon and afternoon. Please tell me the time and place, and I will go to you by myself then."
Afraid that Xiaoyi would speak loudly again, Mrs. Gu gave the address and time with a cold face and said: "You must arrive before 4:30 in the afternoon, otherwise I will not give you a penny."
"I got it." She held the flyer with her fingers, becoming more and more nervous the more she held it, but she wanted to say no so much, but when she thought of Xiao Bai, she really didn't have the courage to say no.
Looking at Xiao Yi who was dressed up like a famous lady in the mirror, Mrs. Gu was very satisfied: "When we get to the banquet later, if anyone asks, just say that you have been studying abroad before. In order to protect you, your family has been
I have never mentioned you to the outside world. Do you know that you only recently returned to China?"
Xiaoyi didn't answer. She had her own persistence and she didn't want to lie. Moreover, her calloused hands would break the fragile lies as soon as she stretched them out.
The banquet was held in the hall of a mansion owned by the Huo family. When Mrs. Gu heard that Huo Yuncheng would come, she might have felt guilty, so she arrived half an hour early. After giving Secretary Huo a brief introduction, she hurriedly left gifts and
Xiaoyi ran away.
Xiaoyi was left awkwardly at the Huo family banquet. Before leaving, Mrs. Gu specially told Xiaoyi not to leave before ten o'clock.
Although the elders of the Huo family were polite to her, they were only polite and allowed her to eat and drink as she pleased. They were obviously suspicious of the second young lady of the Gu family who suddenly appeared.
It doesn't matter if she is small, anyway, she comes here only once, she brings a lot of food leisurely and hides in the garden. She doesn't like the communication in the upper class society, she doesn't like the noise, and eating is worse than facing those duplicitous people. People, it is better to feel at ease in front of a garden full of flowers and plants.
Halfway through the banquet, Secretary Huo called his young cousin Huo Tao to the study room upstairs and told Mrs. Gu what she meant: "Ah Tao! Mrs. Gu has been here today. Although the Gu family has done something wrong, they have made concessions.
Yes, the second young lady of the Gu family is also a guest at home today. I have seen that she is pretty good-looking and polite. The Gu family wants to change the bride and let the second young lady marry into our family. I think Yuncheng may not agree. You
If you plan to get married soon, she is an option."
"I'm not interested in women from the Gu family." In Huo Tao's eyes, the Gu family is a nest of snakes and rats. The second young lady of the Gu family is probably not much better than Gu Lifei. He doesn't want to jump into the fire pit.
