Yu Xiaoqing bit her lip and held the hem of her clothes with her hands, trembling a little, "Then... I... I might as well not go. You... look at me like this..." Growing up, this was her first time
, to be so uneasy and scared.
When Shi Man heard what she said, she put down her comb, then walked around to Yu Xiaoqing and stared at her: "I really feel now, Yu Xiaoqing, you have changed. When did you become so afraid of these things? Who are you? You are Yu Xiaoqing,
That Yu Xiaoqing who made even the president of the university be cautious in his words and deeds when meeting you. In the past, when you did anything or said anything, you never cared about whether it was appropriate or not, what others would say, whether it was okay or not.
You just do yourself, now...how could you..."
"Okay, okay, I get it, why don't I go...?" Yu Xiaoqing had experienced Shi Man's enthusiasm in educating people, so she knew what she was saying, so she decided to listen to her.
But, the president of the university? Thinking of that old man, she was really a little humble, because her poisonous tongue had not made him suffer less.
However, in the past, she faced irrelevant people and hurt people she didn't care about. But this time, it was different. Those people would be Shangguan Zhongqi's elders or relatives, and she didn't want Shangguan Zhongqi to hear some things.
Gossip, she is alone, she doesn't care what others think of her or say about her, but... now, she is implicated in Shangguan Zhongqi.
My heart is extremely uneasy.
"Mama Xu, my cousin asked me to take my sister-in-law to the old house. Please take care of me, Xu'er!" When he went downstairs, he met Ma Xu who was about to go upstairs. Shi Man stopped and said.
Xu Ma nodded, her face expressionless.
When she looked past Shi Man and looked at Yu Xiaoqing, she hesitated and said: "Young lady, the people in that old house are not all good at saving money. Since the young master asked you to come over, he should be preparing to formally introduce you to them.
, Young Mistress, you must be extremely careful!"
Yu Xiaoqing had no intention of going in the first place. Hearing what Xu's mother said, she felt even more dissatisfied. Looking at Shi Man, she looked a little unhappy.
In fact, Shi Man had already heard about what Xu's mother said. When Shangguan Zhongqi asked her to pick up Yu Xiaoqing in person, she realized that today's gathering was a little different from the past.
After all, in the Shangguan family, only important events would be held in the old house.
Moreover, Shangguan Zhongqi did not come in person, but asked her to pick him up by name. She should have been alert.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a false alarm, and I felt that those elders were really cruel. On such an occasion, seeing Yu Xiaoqing...
She looked at Yu Xiaoqing worriedly.
"Mother Xu, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I won't let them bully my sister-in-law!" Shi Man said with confidence, but she felt very unsure.
Xu's mother snorted coldly at Shi Man's guarantee, "Ms. Cousin, you don't know how powerful the individuals in your family are. Even the young master can't guarantee it. What guarantee can you give me?" After that, look.
Yu Xiaoqing said, "These people are really too much. Can't we wait until I see you again after you have given birth to your child? We have to meet at this moment. What if..."
"Okay, Ma Xu, don't worry, don't worry, I'm not a weak and wealthy young lady!"
"But……"
"Okay, Mom Xu, Xu'er will wake up soon. Give him the bone soup. I've been boiling it for several hours. Pour off the oil on it. Xu'er doesn't want to eat anything too oily!"
"I know, young lady!" Xu Ma nodded, and then her face softened.
"Let's go, Man!"
"oh!"
in the car
"Qing'er, I... I really didn't expect that they had such a purpose in meeting you today. Look at my brain, otherwise, I would have dragged you in front of the elders!" Get in the car!
, Shi Man took Yu Xiaoqing's hand with an apology on her face.
"But, why didn't Zhong Qi come to pick me up in person?" This was a question that Yu Xiaoqing couldn't figure out. After all, since this was a Hongmen banquet, shouldn't he tell her personally some things she should pay attention to, right?
Shi Man thought for a while, "Actually, our Shangguan family has a very bad family rule, that is... In any Shangguan family, whether they are marrying a wife or a husband, the elders will surprise the newcomers without any warning.
A gathering to test the newcomer’s behavior and how to deal with others.”
After a pause, he continued, "I guess my cousin must have received the notice suddenly and was restricted from contacting you. However, fortunately, he is quite smart. When his family sent someone to pick him up, he actually thought of me. Otherwise,
, you will definitely get into trouble if you go there soon! However, my cousin never expected that they would choose to ask to see you at the company anniversary! These people seem to be more harsh on you. "
"why would you say so?"
"Because, you think about it, if it's just some people in the family, even if they embarrass you, the family scandal will not be publicized. However, company gatherings are different. First of all, the company's senior executives will come, plus some well-known people from the outside world.
Characters will also attend, so if you perform too poorly today, you will face tests and doubts from all parties in the future, and it will not be as simple as convincing a family!"
Birds of a feather flock together, so Shi Manzhi gets along well with Yu Xiaoqing. In fact, the two of them have one thing in common. Yu Xiaoqing talks regardless of other people's feelings and says whatever he thinks. Shi Man does the same, but she is naive. She doesn't say what she thinks in her head.
That's why the two of them got along.
But...at this moment, Yu Xiaoqing really hoped that Shi Man could be more tactful.
That sentence "It seems a little harsher on you!" made her extremely uncomfortable.
Why? Just because of her shameful identity and family background in their eyes?
But "Yes, you have to face it sooner or later. But, Man, what will happen if you are looked down upon by your tribe?"
"You don't like it? Well, I'll probably persuade my cousin to separate from you!"
"Then, do you think your cousin will break up with me because of his personality?"
"I'm not sure about other people. I think my cousin is different from their group. I don't think so!"
"Oh, that's fine, then let's do whatever we want. We'll block it with soldiers and let the water and soil flood us. Let's talk about it after we get there!" Yu Xiaoqing seemed to have taken a reassurance and felt much more relaxed. Since the ending would be the same, then she still
Nothing to worry about.
Then he opened his eyes again, "But you should tell me what I need to pay attention to, and who I need to deal with in particular. In addition, go pick out suitable clothes for me, and then put on makeup!" Although
She didn't expect to be surprised, after all, she still knew how much she weighed, but at least she didn't want others to talk about Shangguan Zhongqi's woman behind her back.
Even if she didn't care, she was still willing to go through a lot of trouble for him.
