If this conversation had been left in the past, Zhang Ling would definitely dislike it to the extreme.
Because the words between the lines are full of extremely uncomfortable anger.
But today, after hearing those words full of anger, she felt a happy feeling in her heart.
It's a feeling of being protected by someone with your life.
Although she can handle this kind of thing well with her ability.
But it feels so good to have a man do all these things for her.
Yan Yuan on the side heard Li Xiang's expression.
She couldn't help but sigh and said, "When will Yan Yuan meet a good man like Li Xiang?"
To be honest, Yan Yuan had thought about poaching Li Xiang countless times.
Or maybe Li Xiang's love for Zhang Ling was too sincere, and Yan Yuan couldn't bear to do such a morally corrupt thing;
Or Yan Yuan's sisterly love for Zhang Ling was so strong that Yan Yuan was unwilling to destroy it for a man;
Or maybe it's Yan Yuan's promise to his father that is more important than Mount Tai...
No matter which important reason it is?
Yan Yuan has always adhered to the important bottom line of being a human being.
Scum is the essence of Yan Yuan.
She did ruin a lot of men.
Don't think that Yan Yuan is a person without important bottom lines.
Because in Yan Yuan's heart, Zhang Ling and her father are the most important bottom line in her life.
Because these two people gave her the opportunity to feel the warmth of home more than once after she completely lost her parents and relatives.
This kind of warmth is what Yan Yuan has been pursuing all his life.
So she was sincerely grateful to Zhang Ling and her father.
Xiaodouzi didn't hear Zhang Ling's words for a long time and was instantly disappointed.
Because the child looked sideways and saw Zhang Ling holding the tag of the princess dress in her hand.
When I looked closely, I saw the price of thousands of dollars.
Xiaodouzi himself was a little uneasy.
She had never worn such expensive clothes.
Today I was lucky enough to be inspired by Zhang Ling and Li Xiang, and I was already satisfied after trying it on for a few minutes.
So Xiaodouzi felt that he couldn't be too ignorant.
Having their parental love for her is already a great gift from God to her.
How could she, Xiaodouzi, have the nerve to insist on asking them to buy it for her?
As an orphan, she should go to street stalls.
Thinking of this, she was dejected and prepared to go back to the dressing room to change out of the princess dress she was wearing.
Zhang Ling suddenly noticed that Xiaodouzi disappeared from her sight.
She looked around nervously and called.
Xiaodouzi, who had just closed the dressing room door, opened the door and looked at Zhang Ling and responded:
"Mom, I'm here!"
"I was scared to death. Why did you go back to the locker room without saying hello?"
While talking, Zhang Ling quickly stepped forward and pulled Xiaodouzi into her arms and held her tightly.
The tight feeling made Xiaodouzi feel suffocated.
"I-I just want to change out of my skirt."
There was endless reluctance in Xiaodouzi's voice.
Zhang Ling admired the child in the skirt for a while in confusion and said:
"I think this dress is very beautiful! Don't you like it, Xiaodouzi?"
"I'm not happy...no, I..."
Xiaodouzi wanted to say she didn't like it, but the urge to like it made her unable to say it for a while.
She wanted to say that she liked it, but was such an expensive dress really suitable for a child in an orphanage to wear?
Not suitable.
Xiaodouzi gave the answer as quickly as possible.
Even though Xiaodouzi is still young, he already knows what clothes to wear according to his status.
Even if there is a chance to actually wear this dress, it will be regarded as just a piece of street food.
Then this will destroy the original value of the skirt.
Not only is she unwilling to wear the skirt, she will also feel sorry for the skirt.
Xiaodouzi already had a clear answer when he thought of this.
It's just that it's hard to say it in front of everyone.
She was afraid that her parents would be embarrassed by her words.
Zhang Ling doesn't know why a child looks so conflicted?
"Child, don't you usually speak very eloquently? Why are you so squeaky now? I really want my mother to die."
Xiaodouzi heard Zhang Ling's urgent words and kept repeating "I'm sorry".
This made Zhang Ling even more anxious.
I even started to think about taking my child to the hospital to see a doctor.
Li Xiang, who was on the side, understood Xiaodouzi's reaction.
In front of Zhang Ling, he leaned over and whispered his guess in Xiaodouzi's ear.
Xiaodouzi's face showed surprise and joy, and he looked sideways at Li and wanted to say:
"Dad, how do you know?"
"Of course because you are my father's daughter." Li Xiang showed a proud smile.
This reason is definitely an excuse.
The reason why he was able to guess what Xiaodouzi was thinking.
It's just that his status was similar to that of Xiaodouzi.
That’s why we can understand the pain in each other’s hearts that we don’t want to mention.
Xiaodouzi asked doubtfully:
"But mom doesn't know. So dad, what should I do?"
Zhang Ling heard their father and daughter whispering about her.
This made her obviously not calm.
"Hey, Li Xiang, what did you say to Xiaodouzi? Tell me quickly." Zhang Ling stood up, grabbed Li Xiang and shook him.
When he saw Li Xiang's smiling face, he twitched in pain.
Only then did she realize that she had touched Li Xiang's wound.
"Sorry, it's all my fault. Is your wound okay?"
Li Xiang smiled and shook his head, then leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.
A shy smile instantly appeared on her face.
Anyone who sees this scene will think that they are showing off their affection in public.
Especially Yan Yuan turned around in embarrassment when she saw this scene.
Xiaodouzi didn't wait for Li Xiang's answer for a long time, so he couldn't help but stepped forward a little anxiously, tugged on his clothes and called him "Dad".
A few calls of daddy brought Li Xiang, who had been immersed in the wonderful state just now, back to his senses.
He reached out and stroked Xiaodouzi’s head and said:
"Silly boy, stop thinking. If you have anything to say, speak out bravely. If you really don't want too many people to hear it, then tell your mother quietly."
With a sense of mystery, Xiaodouzi took Zhang Ling's hand and came to an uninhabited corner. The two of them lowered their voices and talked.
She completely understood Xiaodouzi's expression and her eyes became moist.
This child's mind is nothing like that of a child.
There is no word between the lines whether I like it or not, I just talk about how expensive the clothes here are.
Even though Zhang Ling made it clear that she deserved better.
But Xiaodouzi was still able to suppress the love in his heart and refused.
He also explained that he had just met a lot of good friends through the animal candy social.
She doesn't want her new friends to alienate her because of a piece of clothing.
This reason was even more difficult for Zhang Ling to refute.
Because she also had the experience of being alienated by her classmates and friends when she was in school.
The reason is that someone spread the fact that she has no mother.
Making friends among children is so easy.
Boys and girls can be divided into camps, rich people and poor people can be clearly distinguished, and those with parents and those with single parents can be divided into two groups...
Sure enough, where there are people, there will be classes.
Even children who have not yet been exposed to the world know that people are divided into groups.
I just wonder whether these can represent the progress of civilization?
When someone is kicked out of their original circle of friends.
Even seemingly powerful adults can feel uncomfortable when they encounter them.
What's more, children like Xiaodouzi are actually very sensitive and fragile inside.
How could it not be hit and affected?
She could only obey Xiaodouzi's wishes.
Choose to go to XX Street to buy clothes suitable for Xiaodouzi's identity.
Seeing the child's happy face made Zhang Ling understand something.
Sometimes it doesn't mean that the more money you spend, the more happiness you will get.
Saving money often brings the most profound happiness to people.
Therefore, under the guidance of Xiaodouzi, Yan Yuan bought a lot of clothes with the most praise.
What makes Zhang Ling feel strange is that Yan Yuan did not develop elective difficult cancer this time.
She speculated that perhaps Yan Yuan's disease was caused by having too much money-saving gene in his bones.
Send Xiaodouzi to the orphanage safely.
They went to Shangguan Aoxue's birthday party hand in hand.
The original plan was to delay attending by half an hour.
Entering the venue like this will naturally give people a feeling of finale, if Zhang Ling puts on that dress designed by an international master again.
Then the protagonist of the birthday party will definitely be Zhang Ling.
However, from the moment Zhang Ling refused to wear a dress, these became unrealistic fantasies.
Because there is no blessing from the dress.
Li Xiang had no choice but to arrive on time with Zhang Ling.
The location was chosen in a private villa.
Or maybe this place is too big!
Whenever someone comes in, there will be a uniformly dressed waiter who will lead them to the place where the banquet is held.
The architectural style of the villa has the connotation of ancient Chinese gardens.
There are mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Along the way you will see water flowing under the covered bridge.
A gust of breeze blew by, and the faint fragrance of lotus flowers made people feel relaxed and happy.
This is definitely a place for leisure and entertainment with pleasant scenery.
Along the way, you will have a feeling of lingering and forgetting to leave.
I have to say that Shangguan Aoxue is a woman who really knows how to enjoy herself.
When they first stepped into the banquet hall and before they had time to appreciate the place, Li Xiang felt inexplicably anxious.
I can only leave Zhang Ling temporarily to go to the bathroom.
When she looked at his retreating back, she suddenly became more and more panicked.
Shangguan Aoxue, who was standing aside, said to her:
"Zhang Ling, are you unable to leave Mr. Li for a moment? You plan to go with me..."
The sound of ridicule stopped her from following her.
The panic in my heart became even more intense.
She glanced contemptuously at the people who were laughing.
Finally, his eyes fell on Shangguan Aoxue and said:
"Well, I guess you're right."
Shangguan Aoxue said with a slightly exaggerated tone of disbelief:
"Oh my gosh, I never expected that Vice President Zhang, who is known to have iron-blooded tactics, would have such a clingy highlight moment."
"Oh, it turns out that this is who I am in the eyes of outsiders! In fact, I am also very gentle."
As she spoke, Zhang Ling imitated Muzi's classic feminine look in her mind.
Many men were so fascinated by Zhang Ling's appearance just now that they smiled foolishly.
Shangguan Aoxue muttered the word "superficial" in a low voice, somewhat unconvinced.
"What! Miss Shangguan, what did you just say?"
Zhang Ling, who had sharp ears, had already heard it, but she just wanted Shangguan Aoxue to say it loudly again in front of everyone.
The main purpose is to expose the disguise of these two-character women.
"No, did I speak? You must have heard wrong. I didn't speak just now." Shangguan Aoxue explained in an obvious way.
"Okay, maybe I heard it wrong. However, there is something I want to confirm with Miss Shangguan. Is it okay?"
"you say!"
"It is said that Miss Shangguan has always been in love with Li Xiang, so she worked as a secretary at Zhihua Technology for a long time."
Shangguan Aoxue was already going crazy because of these words.
But the elegant persona that has been established for many years must not collapse because of this.
So he suppressed his anger towards Zhang Ling and still put on a gentle smile and said:
"Rumors are not credible. You have already said they are rumors. How can you believe these false rumors?"
"Oh, is it just a rumor?" Zhang Ling said in a slightly frustrated tone, "That's a pity. I thought I would have a chance to have a cup of tea again and discuss things about tea art together."
Shangguan Aoxue's face was ashen, but she still kept her breath and said:
"Okay, very good! Vice President Zhang, your eloquence is as good as ever. I hope you can maintain your current status forever."
"I will." Zhang Ling said with a somewhat proud smile.
A waiter whispered something into Shangguan Aoxue's ear.
Shangguan Aoxue smiled as if she was about to get married.
"Oh, Vice President Zhang, I'm sorry, there is something important that I need to go over and take care of. I'll excuse you now, see you later."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Zhang Ling waved her hand.
It felt like she was the protagonist tonight.
Shangguan Aoxue became the guest invited to the banquet today.
It seemed that the news brought by the waiter was enough for Guo Shangguan Aoxue to ignore this feeling.
He walked towards the distant corridor without looking back.
Zhang Ling looked at Shangguan Aoxue's back.
The panic in her heart had reached its extreme.
Because that direction is exactly the direction Li wants to leave.
So I decided to go look for it myself.
Li Xiang was led by the waiter to a corridor.
The waiter was called away by the intercom.
He has noticed that today is unusual.
Because according to Li Xiang's experience, the bathroom cannot be located so far away.
Moreover, the lights on both sides of this corridor flicker from time to time, giving people an inexplicable eerie feeling.
He looked at the long corridor and suddenly had the idea of returning back the same way.
It's not because he, a grown man, is scared.
As soon as I turned around, I heard a faint voice calling for "help" coming from deep in the corridor.
His body also trembled because of the sound.
Thinking that his ears were wrong, he just moved a few steps away, but he clearly heard the voice calling for help and stopped.
This voice suddenly felt so familiar!
When I think about it carefully, I feel very much like the old Liu I met at the restaurant a few days ago.
Although he had a premonition that this might be a trap, he still decided to go and take a look due to his kind nature.
He was walking in a corridor with flashing lights. If there was background music from a horror movie, this corridor would definitely be rendered into a road to hell.
As he got closer and closer to the place where the sound came from, he saw clearly that there was really a bathroom at the end of the corridor.
Standing at the door of the bathroom, he could still vaguely hear the voices of the two talking.
No, to be exact, it was two people complaining and scolding each other.
One complains that the other party is an old | pervert | who can't walk when he sees a pretty face, and he easily trusts Shangguan Aoxue;
Complaining to the other party is a hindsight. When you saw the table full of delicious food, why didn't you think of being drugged?
After Li Xiang heard this, he had basically determined that the two old men were Lao Zhou and Lao Liu.
