Sky-high pillow: the chief domineering substitute bride

Chapter 586
Thought for a while to no avail, Nangong Toshihiko is not in a hurry.

Firstly, because those who were dealt with were all heinous people; secondly, Nangong Toshihiko also believed in Ah Qi's ability.

Nangong Toshihiko thought for a while, then gave Ah Qi a new order...

Xia Yuan didn't know what Nangong Junyan did for her behind the scenes.

When she drove home, she saw that no one in the family was in the living room, but she was quite happy. She took the hot milk that Mama Hu graciously handed over, enjoyed the soap opera time by herself for a while, and then went to bed early.

Because, the next day was the time for the Xia family to hold a grand Christmas dinner.

Tomorrow is destined to be a day full of crowds and attention.

It was also the day when Xia Yuan officially entered the public eye in the Jiangnan social circle.

Therefore, Xia Yuan must maintain her spirits. Tomorrow night, she has many things to do, and none of them can be worry-free.

Perhaps because she calmed down on the eve of the decisive battle, Xia Yuan unexpectedly slept soundly.

When she woke up the next day, Xia Yuan went for a morning run as usual.

A person changes himself, often starting from the details of a healthy life.

Insisting on exercising every day not only allowed Xia Yuan to gain a strong body, but also allowed her to develop a strong sense of time.

Waking up an hour earlier than the average person, all the morning schedules are much more relaxed, and you can enjoy life more calmly.

Qin Rui didn't come down to the living room until near noon.

Xia Yuan listened to Hu's mother's report, saying that Qin Rui had taken medicine and fell asleep until this hour.

Xia Yuan felt more confident.

Qin Rui, as expected, taking medicine is not enough, let alone leaving it.

Last night, in order to sleep peacefully, Qin Rui took the medicine under Hu Ma's persuasion.

But tonight, in order to ensure that she can face the dinner soberly, Qin Rui will definitely refuse to take the medicine, when the time comes...

Well, Mama Hu is a double-faced agent, and it is really useful to bribe her.

Xia Yuan sat at the dining table and ate some delicate dishes casually, and she guessed that Qin Rui would not eat too much.

Sure enough, in order to maintain her figure at night, Qin Rui only ate some vegetable leaves mixed with salad.

A table of exquisite dishes was served almost motionless.

Xia Yuan wouldn't be as stupid as in her previous life, let Qin Rui instigate her to eat a full belly of meat at lunch, saying it was specially for her tonic, her kindness was hard to turn down, but after eating the meat, she couldn't digest it until night .

Therefore, when she is wearing a tight-fitting evening dress, the protruding belly should not be too obvious.

And Qin Rui deliberately arranged a red carpet for ladies from all walks of life to make their debuts. The daughters are naturally very satisfied with this opportunity to show themselves.

But Xia Yuan suffers.

After her image was photographed, her slightly protruding belly was wrapped in a tight evening dress, not to mention how ugly it was.

Against the backdrop of all the slender and slender young ladies, her image is greatly reduced.

All kinds of details, from the beginning to the end, Qin Rui meticulously created a straw bag, invisible like the image of Miss Xia's daughter.

After this dinner, Xia Yuan was completely abandoned by the social circles in Jiangnan, which made Xia Zhaoyang lose face, and Xie Shaojun became her only marriage choice.

The talents of the same generation in Jiangnan don't ask anyone to care about her at all.

Thinking about these past events, Xia Yuan was a little surprised that Qin Rui didn't bring up two big pots of meat today.

Even Qin Rui didn't have any opinion about her eating only lettuce salad, and didn't even ask a question.

On the contrary, Xia Yuan pretended to be considerate and authentic:

"Mom, you didn't eat in the morning, why don't you eat more at noon?"

"Oh, today is my vegetarian day, so I can't eat more."

Qin Rui's calm answer revealed her intentions.

Although she doesn't care about what Xia Yuan eats, she doesn't know how to guide Xia Yuan to make the right choice.

From this detail, Xia Yuan found that, as expected, Qin Rui would never treat her sincerely.

She was stingy with instructing even the details that a girl must pay attention to when she is about to step into society.

Xia Yuan smiled slightly and said:
"Vegetarian day is a good habit, but if you only eat vegetarian food, you may not have enough energy for the dinner at night!"

"No, it's not for rough work, it's just for welcoming and sending off."

Qin Rui smiled faintly, and minimized the status of the dinner she had carefully prepared.

If Xia Yuan was still that innocent child, she would definitely misunderstand the importance of tonight's dinner and treat it as an ordinary party.

However, now Xia Yuan knew that this was not the case.

So she laughed:
"With mom in charge of the overall situation, it's much easier for us to just play."

Seeing Xia Yuan's indifference and indifference, Qin Rui was relieved.

For Xia Qian, Qin Rui gave her all the advice, but for Xia Yuan, everything was free.

Xia Yuan also understood that the reason why Qin Rui didn't design her in small details was because Xie Shaojun was already engaged to Qiu Shulian, there was no need to turn Xia Yuan into a Cinderella, it was just for Xie Shaojun's pursuit alone.

Xia Yuan is now Nangong Junyan's fiancée anyway, although it is only in name, but this has brought great benefits to the Xia family.

What's more, tonight Qin Rui needs to use the title of Xia Yuan to greet the guests. Naturally, it is impossible to embarrass Xia Yuan too much, lest Nangong Junyan get angry.

Hearing what Xia Yuan said, Qin Rui smiled and said:
"Didn't you say Junyan went abroad on business? Can you come back tonight?"

"If the plane is not late, it should be fine."

Xia Yuan is not sure.

Qin Rui can hang her, and she can hang Qin Rui too.

Knowing that Qin Rui is jealous of her marriage contract with Nangong Junyan, but now Qin Rui wants to use Nangong Junyan's influence, so she has to be careful with her.

While Xia Yuan and Qin Rui were talking, Xia Qian yawned and went downstairs.

Xia Qian actually slept until now before getting up.

Seeing that the dining table was empty, Xia Qian became angry:
"Mom, as soon as I go abroad, you don't love me anymore, and you don't even call me to eat, even knowing that I didn't get up, you even withdrew lunch."

Seeing that Xia Qian was going to walk away angrily, Qin Rui hurriedly said:

"Who still eats lunch at noon today? We all eat lettuce salad, now let Mama Hu make it for you."

"What? Lettuce salad? I'm not a rabbit, and I'm going all the way back to China, so you tell me to eat this?"

Xia Qian was angry.

"At the dinner party tonight, you need to wear a tuxedo. Do you want to eat a full stomach and then show up with your stomach full?"

Qin Rui was forced by Xia Qian to tell the truth.

Anyway, from Qin Rui's point of view, Xia Yuan also seems to have mastered the tricks of attending a dinner party, because Xia Qian also eats lettuce salad, so there is no need to hide her knowledge.

Of course, Xia Yuan's ability to have this kind of common sense must be due to the experience she has accumulated in the banquets she attended with Nangong Toshihiko.

Because, for a novice entering the social world, there is really no way to know so much.

"Oh, that's what it is!"

Xia Qian reluctantly sat down at the table.
