Huasheng Hotel was located on the riverbank. It was the most high-class hotel in the imperial city and could not be simply described as a few stars.
The clear summer air met the evening breeze, and they alighted at an intersection a block away from the Huasheng Hotel. She wore a simple cotton dress. Her black hair gracefully hung down to her waist. There was no sadness or joy on her fair face. There was no emotion. He walked into the hotel among the well-groomed and well-dressed people, and it was obvious at a glance that they were people of the upper class.
The sharp-eyed doorman stretched out his hand to stop her. Looking at her with undisguised disdain, he coldly said, "Please show your hotel membership card!"
This was her first time in a luxury hotel, so she didn't know what membership cards she needed.
Seeing her dazed expression, the doorman grew impatient.
"If you don't have a membership card, please leave!"
"But I have to go in!" "My father is having his birthday in there tonight!"
"Birthday?" The doorman thought for a moment, then asked, "You're saying you're Miss Xia from the Xia Corporation?" Before Xia Qing could reply, the doorman continued, "Why is it that the Miss Xia I've seen before isn't you!"
Having said so, the two doormen looked at each other and burst into laughter. They had not been in this business for a single day or two. The number of times they had encountered this kind of thing every day was more than the number of times they had eaten!
Suddenly, the doorman scolded her sternly, "Cut the crap! If you continue to pester us here and randomly pretend to be someone else, we won't stand on ceremony anymore! "
Seeing the two doormen who had treated her maliciously, Xia Qingqing finally understood. She couldn't help but bitterly smile.
That's right! How could she call herself Miss Xia from the Xia Corporation? After so many years, she had always said that eating an inch would increase one's intelligence. How come she didn't have any brains at all?
She smiled apologetically at the two doormen and was about to leave when a person walked in front of her.
The person who came had a coquettish smile on her face. She was wearing a beautiful light yellow dress with a perfect and attractive figure. Her brown hair was pulled up loosely, revealing her white and beautiful neck. Her whole body was exuding an elegant and noble aura.
"How did you get here? Everyone has been waiting for you for a long time! " It was an elegant gesture. Her crystal shoes which were about seven or eight centimeters long made a crisp sound on the marble tiles. She stretched out her arms and intimately took her arm.
"Miss Xia, so it's someone you know! "I'm truly sorry. Just now, she …" When the doorman saw the person, his expression changed faster than anything else.
"It's nothing, I've troubled you!"
Xia Fei interrupted the doorman's words and politely nodded to the two doormen, then she took Xia Qing's arm and walked intimately into the hotel.
From behind her came the constant praises from the doorman, the smile on Xia Feiyu's face became even wider.
Today was the fifty-sixth birthday of Xia Leiteng, the head of the Xia clan, and he had a big banquet on the second floor of Huasheng Hotel. The invited guests were all famous figures in the imperial city, but it was still too early.
As soon as she entered the hall, Xia Feiyu loosened her grip on her arm, and walked towards a round glass table in front of her with her slender waist twisted like a water snake.
"Dad, mom, she's here!"
Hearing Xia Fei's voice, the two people turned their head towards her at the same time. After glancing at her lightly, they both turned their head away at the same time as if they were strangers. You want me to invite him? "
"I'm sorry, Father!" In the face of her father's angry expression, Xia Qing could only admit her wrongs and bow her head in apology. Only then did Xia Lei give a cold snort and give up.
"Right, Sis. This is my boyfriend, Xu Tingsheng!" Xia Feiyu suddenly stretched out her slender finger, pointed at the back of a man not far away and said.
"Xia Nuo, this is my older sister, the young miss of the Xia family, Xia Qing!" When she said the last phrase "Miss", Xia Feiyu's eyes were filled with contempt, as if she was afraid that she would suddenly match up with the young mistress of the Xia family. She was constantly reminding her that she was not a member of the Xia family, but only a lowly bastard of a female dancer.
However, after being around her for so many years, she had long since gotten used to this kind of trick.
Right now, what shocked her the most was the person in front of her heart.
Just as she walked over, she felt that the back figure was so familiar. At this moment, the man turned around and Xia Feiyu shyly pulled his arm as she introduced him to everyone. Only then did she clearly see his appearance.
The man was dressed formally. He wore a white shirt and black pants. He must have been helping to direct the hall's decorations, so his sleeves were slightly rolled up.
"Hello! "I am Xu Jianuo!" The man was handsome and gentle. When he smiled, there were light dimples on his cheeks. He looked very beautiful.
However, Xia Qing's whole body was so stiff that she seemed unable to move.
"Elder sister, what's wrong?" Xia Fei Yu turned her head away in concern and asked with concern.
"What's wrong!" Do you want me to teach you again for such a simple courtesy? " Xia Lei Teng could not take it anymore and shouted loudly. Aunt Luo, who was at the side, quickly and gently comforted him, "Calm down, calm down! "Qing Er grew up in an orphanage. No one cared about her all these years, so it was our fault …"
"It's because I know that she died at a young age and no one cares about her that I have to constantly control her. Otherwise, how do outsiders think of our Xia Clan!"
Not only did that not calm the tense atmosphere, it added fuel to the fire. Seeing that it was summer, and he didn't know how to get along with people, Xia Lei Teng felt like his anger was rising.
"Hello, I'm Summer Sunshine. "Nice to meet you!" Xia Qingliang smiled, but before her father could recover his temper, she politely reached out and grabbed the man's hand, leaving as soon as she touched it.
"Elder sister!" From now on, you have a brother-in-law, hurry up and find a brother-in-law for me! " Xia Feiyu held onto Xu Jiano's arm, lightly leaning her head over. Xu Jiano smiled warmly, the two of them seemed to be very close.
"What do you say, sir?"
She stared at the man in front of her without blinking, silently questioning him. However, it was as if the man didn't know her, he smiled and nodded in agreement with Xia Fei Yu's words, "Mhmm."
"Mom, Dad, I'm sorry!" Actually, my family and I were together three years ago, but I just wanted to see if he was really good to me, and if he could really be a qualified son-in-law of the Xia family. That's why I'm introducing him to you right now, I'm sorry! "
After the tables and chairs were set up, his father and aunt Xia sat right on top of him. Xia Fei Yu suddenly stood up and apologized to the two elders in an apologetic manner.
