Shao Lanlan looked at her strangely, "Why?"
"Did you forget to attend the family dance of Nie's family?"
"Mom, didn't I say I can't go?"
"But Madam Nie called again last night, saying that no matter what, the Shao family must have a young lady to attend, or we won't give them face."
After hearing this, Shao Lanlan's shoulders collapsed, thinking of the rascal and dishonest young master of the Nie family, she became annoyed, "Mom! No matter what, I won't go! I'm not the only young lady from the Shao family. "
Yu Hui was also angry, "I didn't tell you to fall in love with the young master of the Nie family. This is a rare family dance for them. Don't the ten big families keep in touch with each other like this? If our family doesn't send a young lady and a young master Go, you will be told."
Shao Lanlan sighed helplessly, "Then let Kexin go."
"What about you? Where do you want to go?"
"I..." Shao Lanlan didn't dare to say.
But Yu Hui figured it out, "Do you still want to find that Liang Qi?"
Shao Lanlan pursed her lips, picked up the ordinary top again and put it on.
Yu Hui was so angry that she poked her on the forehead, and said in a commanding tone: "Let me tell you, only you, a lady in our family, can participate now, but she already has Rossi, so she doesn't need to go."
After speaking, she turned and walked out.
Shao Lanlan twitched her cheeks and muttered, "After all, it's not that I want to meet a man I like at the ball and marry me off early."
But Shao Lanlan, the young master of the Nie family, made up her mind that she would never want it.
"Lan Lan." In the restaurant, Fu Shumin also spoke earnestly to her, "Don't you have a crush on Dr. Nie? He must be at the dance tonight. It would be nice for you young people to meet up and chat. ?”
"Hehe...Auntie wants to introduce me to Nie Kecheng?" Shao Lanlan raised her head with a smirk.
"No, it's not Dr. Nie."
"Pfft..." Zhou Zixuan on the side couldn't help laughing, "That must be the first or second young master of the Nie family."
Fu Shumin smiled and shot him a look, "You are the same, and you will go tonight too. Mrs. Nie said that at least one young lady and one young master will go to our family to join in the fun with their family."
Zhou Zixuan rolled his eyelids and pointed to his nose, "Auntie, I'm going too? My surname is not Shao."
"Although your surname is not Shao, half of the blood of the Shao family is still flowing in your body. You are still half the young master of the Shao family. Now that Ye'er is not here and Junfei is still young, you are the only one who can go."
Zhou Zixuan scratched his head in distress, "Auntie, I..."
"You are not allowed to ask for leave." Fu Shumin raised her hand, with a serious smile on her face, "I have already told your mother about this, you are not young anymore, you should attend more gatherings like this."
"Hehe..." Shao Lanlan, who knew what Zhou Zixuan was thinking, covered her mouth and laughed.
Seeing her smile, Fu Shumin believed that she would not stop, so she said: "It's settled like this. You two should prepare well after eating. You can go to Nie's house after three o'clock in the afternoon. We will have dinner there. It's all right." Change into formal clothes and support our Shao family."
After she finished speaking, she smiled at them and waved her hand, "Eat slowly, I'll go upstairs and rest."
As soon as she left, Zhou Zixuan raised his head and tapped Shao Lanlan's head, "You're still laughing, so don't say a word for me."
Shao Lanlan spread her hands, expressing helplessness, "Auntie, do I dare? She is the head of the family, and Grandpa listens to her."
Zhou Zixuan sighed, "Alas... Is my date going to fail again?"
Emerald Garden.
"Tongtong, you dazzled Dad's eyes, please sit down." In the living room, Jing Ming, who rarely rests at home during the day, said to his daughter.
Lin Tongtong held her phone and walked back and forth in front of the TV twice.
Jing Qiu came out of the kitchen with fruit in his hand, and seeing her slightly frowned eyebrows seemed to be worried, he asked, "Tongtong, are you waiting for a call?"
Lin Tongtong was stunned for a moment, then she hurriedly ran to sit down next to Jing Ming, and smiled, "No, I was thinking about something."
Jing Ming smiled and asked, "What's the problem?"
Lin Tongtong rolled her eyelids and leaned on his shoulder, "I was thinking, if my mother gave birth to a younger brother, what name should I name him."
"Hahaha..." Jing Ming laughed, patting her nose lovingly, "Is thinking of a name bothering you so much?"
Jing Qiu shot his daughter a look, "It's still early, mom is so old, it's not easy to conceive."
Jing Mingze winked confidently at his wife ambiguously, "Don't worry, my husband will try his best to get you pregnant."
"Don't be ashamed." Jing Qiu forked an apple and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then, she beckoned to her daughter, "Get up, mommy will accompany you to get your hair done."
Lin Tongtong took Jing Ming's arm and lay on the sofa, "Mom, I don't want to go."
Jing Ming pulled out his hand and pushed her, "Father can't help you with this matter, and you are almost 20, you should get in touch with young ladies in the upper class circle more, as many as you can get to know."
"Dad, I'm not used to it yet."
"Get used to it slowly." Jing Qiu persuaded, "Everything has a process. Didn't you go to Shao's house to attend the ball last time?"
"There were few people last time. I know Shao Yingying and Shao Wei, so there is nothing to be afraid of." Lin Tongtong said, and got into Jing Ming's arms.
Jing Ming hugged her distressedly, knowing that she had just returned to her parents, so she would indeed be less timid.
He lowered his head, stroked her hair lovingly, and said softly, "Why don't Dad accompany you? Be your dance partner?"
Lin Tongtong's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "Okay."
Jing Qiu gave the father and daughter a charming look, "What's that like? This Mrs. Nie said clearly that she doesn't need to bring a partner, so you go alone."
"Mom..." Lin Tongtong acted coquettishly, wrapping her arms around Jing Ming's waist, "I won't go."
Jing Ming hugged her, and smiled at his wife, "Or, let her not go, anyway, she is still young."
Jing Qiu sighed, "But we all promised Mrs. Nie, if we don't go, she will feel that we look down on the Nie family and don't give them face."
Sometimes people are so sophisticated, it is really embarrassing.
"I will explain this to Chairman Nie at that time, they should..."
Before Jing Ming finished speaking, Lin Tongtong's cell phone rang, she was startled, and she jumped out of Jing Ming's arms suddenly, and said while running to the room, "I'll answer the phone, we'll talk about it later."
The couple looked at each other, not without surprise... Whose call made her respond so quickly?
"What did you say?" After hearing Zhou Zixuan's words, Lin Tongtong wanted to laugh.
"May I come and see you now? Tonight... I'm going to the Nie's dance, and I can't refuse. Come down, my car is almost here."
After hearing this, Lin Tongtong blurted out, "You don't need to come."
Zhou Zixuan was lost, "Why? Tongtong, haven't you thought about it yet?"
"Yes."
"But we... can be friends first, I said that I will wait for the day you promise."
"I... still don't want to see you now."
"Just drink a cup of tea, can you do it for an hour?"
After seeing her for a few days, the scene of sitting in the car with Lin Tongtong that night kept appearing in Zhou Zixuan's mind. He could clearly remember the fragrance of her body and that shy expression.
The more I think about it, the more turmoil I feel, and if I don't see you for a day, it's like three autumns.
Lin Tongtong still didn't agree, "I'm going to accompany my mother to do my hair now. I really don't have time. Let's make an appointment next time."
After finishing speaking, she immediately hung up the phone, but there was a narrow smile on the corner of her lips.
Joyfully turning around twice like a child, she opened the door and rushed out, knocking her father, who was eavesdropping outside the door, into the opposite wall...
Boom!
Jing Ming's back hurt so badly, he frowned and looked at his stunned daughter, "Where did you get the strength?"
Jing Qiu stood not far away, pursing his lips and smiling.
Lin Tongtong was dazed, jumped up and patted his father's forehead, "Dad, why...how can you eavesdrop on my phone call?"
Jing Ming rubbed his head, "I didn't, I just happened to... just passed by."
"I do not believe."
Jing Ming pointed at Jing Qiu, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your mother."
Jing Qiu glanced at him, and he squeezed the corners of his eyes, before Jing Qiu said, "I'll ask your dad to go to the room to help me get my bag, Tongtong, get ready and go get your hair done with mom, okay?"
"Okay." Lin Tongtong readily agreed.
Jing Ming smiled, and blew a kiss to his wife, "I'll go to the room to help you get your bag."
The daughter agreed to go to the ball, and Jing Qiu was also very happy. When she came out, he took her hand and walked to the door.
At this moment, the cell phone in her bag rang, and it was Mrs. Nie's call, "Hello, Jing Qiu."
She was smiling and very affectionate.
Jing Qiu asked her what's the matter?
She said: "My old man wants to see Mr. Jing. He asked me to call and ask your family to come over. Do you have time?"
Jing Qiu looked at Jing Ming behind him, seeing his daughter tugging at her hand, he smiled and said, "Okay, then let's come over later."
...
Nie's compound.
Mrs. Nie, Chen Feng, was anxiously walking up and down the corridor on the third floor with her mobile phone, muttering, "What's wrong with this child? He promised to be home at three o'clock, but now he can't even get through the phone."
Nie Qinghao was leaning on the wall in a daze, turning the ultra-thin mobile phone in his hand, and narrowing his peach blossom eyes slightly, "Mom, brother, does he have a woman he likes?"
"Why didn't he bring back a woman?" After speaking, Chen Feng gave him another look, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
Nie Qinghao pulled off a blue shirt on his body, shrugged, "It's still early, those ladies and masters won't come here without dressing up."
"Then go and dress up quickly." Chen Feng waved his hand.
Nie Qinghao giggled, "Your son doesn't need to dress up to be handsome."
"Stop being narcissistic, let me tell you, my mother has fallen in love with Third Master Nie's daughter. Tonight, I want your eldest brother and the second miss of the Shao family to aim at Jing Tong, the daughter of Third Master Jing. See She comes over and you take the initiative."
"Ah?" Nie Qinghao was startled, "Mom, you want me to go on a blind date too?"
"Although it's not a formal blind date, it's just to create a good opportunity for you to get acquainted. That Tongtong's mother met, last time she bought clothes with her mother.
I think she is pretty and polite, and I think she is a child who has endured hardships, and she doesn't have the kind of coquettish and capriciousness of a young lady, so she is more suitable for you. "
"What did you say?" Nie Qinghao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Mom, do you think I can only be matched with that kind of good girl?"
"With your temperament, do you think you are suitable for such a tricky and willful eldest lady? If you are together, you two won't demolish the building at home?" Chen Fengbai gave him a look.
Knowing a child is like a mother, the mother has the idea of a mother, and thinks that a bad temper can only be matched with a gentle and obedient girl.
But my son doesn't think so.
What he wants is a woman he likes and has feelings for.
"Hahaha...Mom, you really don't understand your little son. I'm a man, a man who likes to conquer strong women!"
He clenched his right fist and knocked on his strong arm.
Chen Feng stepped forward and knocked his head, angrily said: "Don't show off your power to me! Over the past few years, I haven't seen any strong woman you have taken down. Let's go! Wash and change clothes for me, when the time comes Have a few glasses of respect to Third Master Jing."
Nie Qinghao patted his head, "Mom, you didn't invite your parents."
Chen Feng smiled slightly, "I didn't invite anyone else, but your father said he must invite this Third Master Jing. He is not ordinary, and he just recognized his daughter this year, so let their family come and recognize him."
"Mom, then... the young lady and master of the Shao family, does anyone agree to come over?" He looked at his mother meaningfully.
Chen Feng glanced at the phone, "The second wife of the Shao family has agreed, Shao Lanlan should come over, Aunt Qiao said clearly that she wanted to introduce her to your brother."
"Ahem!" Nie Qinghao tugged at the loose skirts, curled his mouth, "Then I'll go get dressed."
