Chapter 3 Banquet
Xia Zhengrong is the president of Xia Group, which mainly deals in electrical appliances and clothing. Xia Zhengrong's ex-wife, her mother, died when she was born. Later, she was raised in an orphanage and was not taken back until her first year of high school. Xia Zhengrong's current wife is her stepsister's mother, who moved into the Xia residence before she was taken back.
She pretended to be harmless and looked at the ambitious father in front of her. Why didn't she realize that he was an ambitious man before!
"Chu Xiao! What's wrong?" Father Xia looked at her kindly and asked angrily.
"Dad, it's okay."
"My eyes are tired from reading, and I got distracted," Xia Chuxiao said in the same obedient and weak voice as usual. She looked timid, lowered her head and chewed her rice slowly.
"Sister, you are amazing! There are still so many days before the college entrance examination, and you are so hardworking! I am not that hardworking." Xia Huanya's words sounded like praise on the surface, but in fact they were mocking a fool.
"Zhengrong! Chu Xiao is so hardworking! He got up early in the morning to read! Yaya! You should learn from your sister!" Mother Xia, who was sitting next to Father Xia, understood what she meant and spoke immediately.
"Yes, yes, what mom said is true."
“I will learn from my sister.”
She just listened quietly to the mother and daughter talking to each other in the restaurant, which did not affect her eating at all.
"I'm relieved that you sisters get along so well. I'll be able to help you in the future!" Father Xia said happily.
Hearing this, Xia Chuxiao's eyes flickered, and she thought to herself: Could it be that this ambitious father didn't participate in the exchange of points?
Even so, after the end of the world, they still became cruel and ruthless.
"By the way, I heard Huan Ya is having a classmate party tonight?"
"Yes, Dad," Xia Huanya said with a smile.
"Then take your sister with you."
After Father Xia finished speaking, he turned to her and said, "Chu Xiao! Just stay with your sister at night. You won't stay at home all day. You can get to know your sister better and see the world."
Xia Chuxiao nodded obediently and said sweetly, "Okay, Dad."
Then Xia Huanya said, not to be outdone: "Dad, I will take my sister to see the world."
Finally, Xia Huanya looked at her and smiled gently.
"well"
Father Xia looked at her attire. She wore a loose, washed, white, long-sleeved top and loose black school pants. Someone might have thought she wasn't doing well in the Xia family. Father Xia, who was very concerned about her appearance, suddenly frowned and took out a card from his assistant's briefcase. He then said kindly, "Chu Xiao, you're almost 18 now, so you're considered a girl. Take this card. There's 100,000 yuan in it. I'll transfer it to you every month. Buy any clothes or bags you like and dress up more."
"Dad, I already have clothes to wear, no need to buy more." Xia Chuxiao's weak voice came out, and a gleam of light flashed in her lowered eyes.
When Xia's father heard her words, he turned to Li Chunlian with a bad look on his face. It would be fine if she did some small tricks normally, but she did this to the reputation of the Xia family.
Li Chunlian was smart and looked at Xia Chuxiao and said with a smile: "Chuxiao! Take it if Daddy gives it to you! Buy some more nice clothes."
"But didn't you say we should be frugal and not buy clothes so often?"
Li Chunlian's face froze for a moment after being ruined by her, and then she was glared at by Father Xia. Why didn't this little bitch listen to her? She said slowly: "Mom is right, Mom didn't ask you to wear such clothes!"
Xia Huanya, who was standing by, also said, "Sister, Mom wants you to save some things and develop good habits. These clothes need to be changed after wearing them for a long time."
"Yes, Yaya is right."
"I'll accompany you to Xia's store to pick out clothes someday."
"You take this card. Yaya has one too."
The mother and daughter spoke in unison.
"Okay, thank you sister, and thank you dad," Xia Chuxiao nodded obediently and said as she took the card given by her father.
"That's right," Father Xia said with a smile.
After the meal, the family went their separate ways.
In the gorgeous room, Xia Huanya threw the pillow angrily with her eyes glaring. A moment later, a woman pushed the door open and walked in. Xia Huanya said to the woman who walked in.
"Mom, why didn't you stop Dad from blocking her!"
"What do you know? Calm down."
"Just let her have some fun for a few days! Mom will help you find a solution."
"My dear daughter! The most important thing now is the banquet tonight. Mom has arranged a makeup artist for you, and she should be here soon," Li Chunlian said, looking at her.
“Okay, Mom, you’re so nice.”
Xia Huanya hugged the woman and acted coquettishly. She was very excited at the thought of seeing his handsome appearance soon. She must get him.
In a room a few doors down, Xia Chuxiao sneered, "What a foolish mother and daughter, still wanting to hook a wealthy son-in-law. Only a capable and discerning man would be interested in her, only a scumbag would be interested in her."
That's right, her hearing is so good and she can hear so far, thanks to her activating the hearing-assistance ability, which should be the reason why the space was opened in advance.
Xia Chuxiao scanned the shopping order on her mobile phone, her eyes flashed slightly, and a message popped up on the text message saying that the balance on the card was instantly zero.
At six o'clock sharp, the sky gradually turned dark. Yangzhou's night market was very beautiful. Night snack stalls began to be set up on the streets, and high-end and luxurious brand-name stores were also open for business.
The Xingdihui five-star luxury hotel, located in the heart of the city, is bustling with the flow of wealthy and famous men. With its red floors and grand entrance, luxury cars frequently pull up, only to be replaced by a fleet of distinguished young men and women.
Xia Huanya was wearing a gorgeous evening gown. The yellow fishtail-shaped straps of the gown showed off her exquisite and curvy figure. She was chatting with several famous ladies who were dressed in gorgeous clothes.
"Yaya, didn't you say your sister would come?"
"Why is there no one here?"
"Yeah! I'd like to get to know him!"
Xia Huanya said with a smile on her face: "She was delayed by something, so she will be slow."
"She's so mysterious! I'm afraid she doesn't dare to come! After all, there are so many important people here. She might be scared!" said a woman in a princess-style white evening gown. Her voice was neither loud nor soft, and it happened to be heard by everyone who was close to them in the banquet hall, which aroused the curiosity of other ladies and gentlemen.
"Okay, don't say that, my sister will definitely come." Xia Huanya glanced at the place upstairs and then said gently.
…
There is a luxurious attic upstairs.
A socialite who is occasionally criticized by several handsome men.
Sitting on the chair was a handsome man who was even more handsome than the others. He was wearing a burgundy and black suit. He held a glass of red wine in his slender hands, shook it a few times, and slowly put it to his lips to take a small sip. His noble and elegant movements and the aura he exuded were no less impressive than those of the others sitting there.
He listened to the conversation of several people, looking uninterested, and continued to drink a sip of red wine.
"Look, that thing they were talking about, Xia, has come out."
"It's Xia Chuxiao"
"Oh, yes."
"When will you change your forgetful memory?" The man in the white suit shook his head.
Gong Yuhan raised his eyes and glanced sideways, suddenly pausing the wine in his hand.
"Who said I don't dare to come?" A crisp voice came from the banquet hall.
