Gao Yiqing practically sprinted all the way to their destination, mainly because they were worried that Zhao Motong would not be happy if they went there too late. However, they were still a few minutes late.
The tea ceremony was held in the Ma family's back garden, and Gao Yiqing was brought to their destination by the security guards.
As expected, there were quite a few people, and looking at them, one could tell that they all had quite a good relationship with Zhao Motong.
However, it was strange. They had clearly reached the agreed time, but they didn't seem like they were going to end it. Could it be that they were going to continue?
Seeing that the Gao Yiqing had arrived, Zhao Motong's face immediately darkened, obviously not satisfied with her arrival, but they clearly said it was, if you don't want to come, then she will not come next time, but in an instant, Zhao Motong's expression changed. She looked at the person in front of her and smiled slightly, "You're finally here, ah, come, let me introduce you, this is my family's daughter-in-law.
Her words clearly showed that she wanted to belittle Gao Yiqing, and the crux of it was that she could not refute Gao Yiqing in front of so many people, so she could only politely greet the others.
"That's not right, why didn't you invite us when you married Ning Zhe? At that time, I was wondering, without knowing it, you guys got married.
Someone suddenly brought up this matter. Considering the situation at that time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Ning Zhe did indeed only invite a portion of people. He did this for her own good, but at the same time, it caused others to criticize him.
"You're still talking about you guys? I wasn't able to attend at that time, so the couple might have found it annoying and didn't even tell me directly. I only found out the next day."
Seemingly having found an opportunity to curse at Gao Yiqing, Zhao Motong began to complain to everyone. This matter was indeed because Gao Yiqing was wrong, so no matter what she said, Gao Yiqing would accept it.
When the others heard this, they felt that something wasn't right. How could their own son not be able to attend the wedding? What was the use of this son coming here? Although they thought like that, who wouldn't be envious of their Ning Zhe? It was rare for them to be able to take care of the Ning Family so well, and the most important thing was that they were talented people. Let alone looking down on them, they would even want to take a fancy to their own daughters.
"This is your fault. Where did you get married and not let your parents go? Did your parents go? Could it be that you intend to reject your grandmother again, and your Ning Zhe can't be so indiscriminate?
The one who said this was Mrs Ma. She had a good relationship with Zhao Motong, so she was naturally speaking up for Zhao Motong. However, no matter how one looked at it, this matter was still Gao Yiqing's fault.
"The situation at that time was a little complicated... "So …"
It was complicated, but no matter how one looked at it, these dry explanations were her fault. Gao Yiqing was unable to continue explaining for a while, and now, they could only let them say whatever they wanted.
Hearing these words, Zhao Motong sneered: "So that's how you deceive my son. Ning Zhe has never done such a thing."
"I …"
She couldn't possibly say it out loud because you didn't agree. If she said it out loud, everyone would probably point at her and scold her, so Gao Yiqing simply became silent. Anyways, saying it now was completely wrong, she might as well not say it.
Seeing her silence, Zhao Motong was also not an overbearing person. Usually, she would treat others with a good attitude, but from the bottom of her heart, she would only make things difficult for them because she didn't think much of Gao Yiqing.
Even though they were all standing on the side of the Zhao Motong, even if the Gao Yiqing was still silent and allowed to recite, they still did not intend to stop. Their words were filled with meaning, no wonder the Ning Zhe had told her not to care about what these people had said, if she really did care, she would probably die from anger.
Seems like they did not plan to end it yet, so Gao Yiqing could only accompany Zhao Motong to wait for her to leave.
"Speaking of which, why hasn't her Zhou Hui arrived today? I was planning to learn flower arranging from her, but she's such a clever little girl. I really like her."
They had originally been feeling uncomfortable after seeing Zhou Hui today, but after hearing them praise her in such a manner, it became even worse. It was just that she had no way of expressing it.
"What's wrong? You don't look too good?"
He didn't know if it was on purpose or not, but when others mentioned Zhou Hui, he actually asked her about it. If he were to ask her about it, no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she wouldn't show it on her face right now. She must be hoping for something to happen to her.
"It's nothing. Maybe I got heatstroke today." Gao Yiqing casually found a step down, and since he could not refute her words, he could only follow along.
When she mentioned Gao Yiqing, Mrs Ma looked over at her doubtfully and asked: "Do you know how to arrange flowers?"
"No, I only know how to design wedding dresses." She answered very frankly. There was nothing to not say, no way, just no way.
I have many friends who like it. A few of them are even about to become old customers of your shop right? I have a niece who's about to get married, and she's worrying about the wedding dress. She's a girl who doesn't like anything high up in the world, so she has to be unique.
It was unknown if it was because she suddenly opened her mouth, but Mrs Ma mentioned that the wedding dress was designed. If not for Zhao Motong's sudden cough and reminder, she would probably have continued speaking.
She smiled and said: "Of course you can. The wedding dress that I originally designed was different from the traditional wedding dress, if she wanted to try it, she could come and find me anytime. I coincidentally have a new inspiration recently."
"What inspiration?" After asking this question, Mrs. Ma realized that she had asked a bit too much, so she tentatively asked, "Can you tell me?"
"Gorgeous! Take off the outer shell of the silk shirt. Let's go with the most gorgeous blood-red color."
"It's blood-red, and similar to Manju Sha Hua. I'm afraid the source of your inspiration is a little bitter."
They didn't think that Mrs Ma was actually someone who understood how to design things. The two of them immediately started to chat as if they had met an old friend that hadn't been seen for many years. The Zhao Motong prevented them from succeeding many times, but they had no choice but to give up.
Just as their conversation was in the midst of its liveliness, Zhou Hui had arrived. That woman who had just appeared in the Ning Zhe Office had arrived here so quickly.
Seeing that the Zhou Hui had appeared, he immediately beamed with joy, "Saying that Cao Cao has arrived, hurry up and come over."
Her degree of happiness was as though she treated Zhou Hui as her daughter-in-law. The key was that she did not bother to conceal it in front of Gao Yiqing at all;
"What did you say?" Zhou Hui smiled as he glanced at his own Gao Yiqing. His eyes were filled with enmity, but when he turned to look at other people, he had an elegant and magnanimous look on his face.
He really knew how to disguise himself.
Gao Yiqing couldn't help but roll his eyes inside.
