Sure enough, Mingsi's smile froze slightly, then his eyes changed and the smile at the corners of his mouth deepened. It was obvious that he had misunderstood the relationship between Yan Meng and me.
I felt completely disheartened at this point.
It’s over. Even Mingsi misunderstood me. Now I can’t clear myself even if I jump into the Yellow River.
Mingsi looked at Yan Meng and wanted to say something, but I was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so I quickly pulled Mingsi to the fitting room.
"Mom, I think the other one looks good too. I'll try it with you."
I took Mingsi to the fitting room and helped her button up her cheongsam.
Mingsi intentionally or unintentionally tested me: "I think Yan Meng is a good kid. Our family is old friends, so we know each other well. He also takes good care of you. What do you think of him?"
My hand that was buttoning my shirt suddenly stopped, realizing that I had completely misunderstood.
I smiled awkwardly and explained, "Mom, Yan Meng did help me a few times, and I'm grateful to him, but we're just friends, nothing more."
Mingsi didn't say anything more, but just gave me some meaningful advice: "Since you're divorced, you should look forward to the relationship."
"Yeah. I understand." I smiled slightly. "But right now I just want to do my job well and stay in Betula with confidence."
Mingsi looked at me with relief, waited for me to button up her clothes, and then accompanied her out of the fitting room.
Mingsi looked at her skirt carefully in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
"Pack these two for me, I like them both. And the one I ordered for Xiaoshan, pay for it all at once."
Mingsi handed the card to the clerk. Just as the clerk was about to take it, Yan Meng came over and stuffed the card directly back into Mingsi's hand.
"Aunt Ming, it's inappropriate for us to talk about money. These two cheongsams are my gift to you. As for Xiaoshan, she is a model for our Bailu Clothing. The cheongsams she wears are for our promotion, so she can't ask for money."
Mingsi didn't refuse Yan Meng's kindness, and knew Yan Meng didn't need the money for these cheongsams. She smiled and said, "You're so thoughtful. This weekend is Xiaoshan's reunion party at the Tang family. Yan Meng, you should come too and join in the fun."
I couldn't help but feel nervous. If Yan Meng went too, would it make Tang Jun feel uncomfortable?
Yan Meng readily agreed, "Okay, I'll definitely be there."
Mingsi and I left Bailu Clothing, but I felt inexplicably uneasy.
Mingsi noticed my distraction and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you nervous about the family reunion banquet?"
I smiled and agreed.
I'm just afraid that a nice family reunion party will make everyone in a bad mood because of the unfounded relationship between me and Yan Meng.
The weekend came in a blink of an eye, and the family reunion party was held as scheduled. I attended with Mingsi.
Many relatives and friends came to the scene. I followed Mingsi throughout the whole process and listened to her introduce them to me one by one.
I greeted each one with a smile, and my face became a little stiff.
Mingsi took me to the main table, where elderly elders were sitting.
Mingsi lowered his voice and introduced me: "Your grandparents have passed away. Your maternal grandparents are sitting at that table. You are their only granddaughter, and they have been wanting to meet you for a long time. Come over quickly."
I walked to the table, holding champagne, and called respectfully: "Grandpa and Grandma, I am Lan Shan. I wish you good health, good fortune and happiness."
"Okay, okay." Old Master Ming responded repeatedly with a kind smile, looking at me with eyes full of fondness. "Xiao Shan is so beautiful. She looks just like Sisi when she was young."
