Chapter 82
Xia family.
At this moment, Su Man was standing in front of the mirror trying on the dresses. In order to leave a good impression on everyone in the Ling family at today's dinner party, she had ordered more than a dozen dresses a week ago, and she wanted to appear in the most perfect dress. Dinner scene.
"Mom, what do you think of this dress?" After looking in the mirror, she turned around and asked Zhou Xuemei's opinion.
Zhou Xuemei sat on the sofa, looked up and down, and said with some dissatisfaction: "The dress fits well, and you look good in it, but for an occasion like tonight, you should dress more modestly. The neckline of this dress is too low, and it is too exposed."
After listening to her words, Su Man turned around and took a look in front of the mirror, and found that it was indeed too sexy.
"Then I'll change another one." After she finished speaking, she chose a well-regulated style from those dresses.
After coming out of the changing room, she looked in the mirror again, and then asked Zhou Xuemei: "Mom, what about this one?"
After reading it, Zhou Xuemei frowned slightly: "The color seems to be a bit old, and it's not good to wear too dull."
Alright, Su Man nodded, and went to change another set.
Zhou Xuemei still shook her head: "The waist is a bit wider, it would be nice if it could be made narrower, but it's too late to change it now, try another set."
Su Man quickly went to the changing room to change out another set, but after trying eight or nine sets in succession, she couldn't get a good word from Zhou Xuemei. She could always pick out various details, not the color of the clothes. No, it's just the wrong size, or it's too dull, too conservative, too sexy...
"Mom, isn't this set okay?" Su Man came out with a new set.This time it was a lavender long dress, which was as long as the instep. The hem of the skirt was very elegant and the drape was very good. It looked even better against people.
Zhou Xuemei stood up slowly, walked to her side, looked up, down, back, left, and right, finally smiled, nodded and said: "This set is good, the clothes fit well, not too revealing nor too conservative, especially the right color Against your skin, you're dressed perfectly."
Hearing the satisfactory result, Su Man breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily, "Then just wear this suit tonight, and don't need to try anything else."
After trying on the dress, you need to look at the jewelry, and then the shoes. Su Man was already panting slightly after all these things.
After deciding on what to wear, she was able to sit down and rest while talking to Zhou Xuemei.
"Did Shaoyu tell you that he would pick you up earlier?" Zhou Xuemei asked.
Su Man shook her head, but said very considerately: "With his status today, he will definitely be too busy to leave. I have already told him that he doesn't need to pick me up. I can drive there by myself."
Zhou Xuemei nodded slightly: "That's true, the Ling family's banquet this time is not too small, and with their family's ability, it is certain that famous people from all sides will be present. As the second young master of the Ling family, Shao Yu should come forward to greet the distinguished guests. "
"Hmm." Su Man also nodded.
Thinking of something, she put down the teacup in her hand, looked up at Zhou Xuemei, and said hesitantly: "Xia Donghai is also on the invitation list, did he... Did he ask you to attend with him?"
As soon as she finished asking, Zhou Xuemei's face changed obviously, becoming a little gloomy.
She knew that this kind of thing should not be asked, as expected...
Su Man felt regretful, and hurriedly said, "Mom, I'm sorry."
"Forget it." Zhou Xuemei waved her hand, but her face was still not looking good.She suddenly smiled coldly and said: "I've been here for the past few years, it doesn't matter if I go or not, I'm still the wife of the Xia family!?"
Seeing the sinister smile on her face, Su Man couldn't help lowering her eyebrows in sadness.
She knew that although her mother said so, she still cared very much in her heart.
In her heart, she really wasn't worth it for her mother. She had paid so much for the Xia family in the past few years, and she was just a real bullshit. In the end...Xia Donghai actually made her mother suffer so much.Since her mother entered the Xia family, besides the title of Mrs. Xia, what else did she get?
Outsiders only know that the Xia family has a step-wife, but they don't even know what she really looks like.
Xia Donghai had never brought her mother to appear in public, not to mention those large banquets, even ordinary business dinners, he was unwilling to let her accompany her.
Did he feel that her mother's status was too low, and he was afraid of embarrassing him by taking her out?
Su Man was really angry and unwilling when she thought about it. She was looking forward to the dinner party at Ling's family tonight, and Xia Donghai would let her mother attend it together.It would be great to go to participate together like this, relying on her mother's skills, not only can help her win over the Ling family, but also establish a good relationship with other noble ladies in other circles, and even justify her own name and identity.But unfortunately...
Zhou Xuemei patted her tightly clenched hands, and said with a slightly sullen face, "I have nothing to do with you. The most important thing now is that you are up to date."
Su Man nodded solemnly, then grabbed her hand in turn, and said bitterly, "Mom, don't worry, I won't let you suffer for too long!"
Listening to her words, Zhou Xuemei turned her face slightly, and said calmly: "I can't go together tonight, you should pay more attention to yourself, and I don't need to teach you about observing words and expressions. The Ling family is not as good as ordinary people, and there must be more rules. One point, you should pay special attention to their family when you go back to see their family for the first time, especially in terms of etiquette..."
She said a lot in one breath, all of which were exhortations to Su Man, and finally said: "I have spent so much energy cultivating you, just to let you live a life of a real master, only when you are truly strong, No one will dare to look down on us again!"
Su Man listened carefully and wrote down everything: "Well, I know..."
Zhou Xuemei continued: "I chose the best and most expensive gifts for the Ling family according to what you said, so you don't have to be afraid of being rude when you bring them over."
Su Man nodded again: "Thank you, Mom."
Zhou Xuemei took a sip of tea, and now that she was talking, her complexion was not as ugly as before.
She looked at Su Man, raised her sharp eyebrows, and asked suddenly: "You and Shaoyu also have some time, has he told you about his future plans, whether to continue to be a doctor in the hospital, or... Ling's Pharmaceuticals?"
"This..." Su Man hesitated, a little confused: "Shaoyu hasn't mentioned it in front of me, but...wouldn't it be good to ask him this kind of thing at this time?"
But Zhou Xuemei said: "It's nothing, you don't have to ask him directly, after this Dong Ling's birthday banquet is over, you can take a side-by-side look to see what his plan is."
She put the teacup on the tea table, and said in a deep voice: "A doctor can only be a doctor. It's a world of difference from him entering Ling's. If his intention is in the former, then you should try your best to make him change his mind. A doctor alone, no matter how good his medical skills are, can only be an ordinary person. There are ordinary people everywhere in this world, how can ordinary people stand out?!"
Su Man frowned and said, "But...the heir of the Ling family is Shao Yu's elder brother. If Shao Yu wants to join the company, wouldn't it mean letting him compete with his elder brother?"
"Your idea is still so simple, how did I teach you before?" Zhou Xuemei raised her voice displeased, and said with a cold face: "Although the heir of the Ling family is Shaoyu and his eldest brother, Shaoyu must have something. It's your own share. Is it the same as putting your own things in the hands of others? Without real power, the things in his hands will become others' sooner or later! At that time, he will have nothing to do. What's the use of being the Second Young Master of the family, if you can't get anything?"
Su Man looked at her and seemed to be angry, and hurriedly said: "Mom, don't be angry, I just think so, I will remember what you said."
Zhou Xuemei said expressionlessly: "Mom didn't intend to teach you anything, but I just don't want you to live up to my high expectations for you for many years. Ling Shaoyu who is a doctor is completely different from Ling Shaoyu who has entered the core of the Ling family. If he just I'm an ordinary person, so what's the point of us fighting?"
After a pause, her words became sharper: "I told you earlier, don't fall in love with men easily, this time I have no objection that you really like him, but the prerequisite is that he can give us Bring what we want, if the second young master of the Ling family is really an empty shell, then I might as well replace the big tree of the Ling family!"
Su Man was stunned, her expression even more complicated.
"What are you doing with this useless man!" Zhou Xuemei finally sneered unceremoniously, her face full of disdain.
Seeing his daughter's face, he turned around and said, "You don't have to think too much now, you can plan these things slowly. Your task tonight is to get the Ling family to recognize you first."
……
around five o'clock in the afternoon,
Xia Weiyi and the three members of the Gu family have already changed their clothes and are ready to go out. The Ling family's dinner party starts at six o'clock. It's just the right time for them to pass, neither too early nor too late.
When they went there, Qin Yun and Gu Tianmo were in the same car, Xia Weiwei and Gu Yiran drove the other car, and only Gu Tianran stayed at home.
On the way, although Gu Yiran was driving, his eyes frequently fell on Xia Weiyi who was sitting next to him.
I watched it so many times that Xia Weiwei felt his heart tremble, and couldn't help but asked, "What are you looking at?"
Gu Yiran turned his head slightly, looked at her, and said in a low tone: "...you are so charming now, I really don't want other men to see it."
Xia Weiyi:
It is a very pleasing thing to be praised by someone you like, but now that everyone is on the road, is it still useful to talk about it?
Gu Yiran followed suit and said, "Why don't we just turn around and go back, and just find a reason to prevaricate?"
Xia Weiyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop making trouble, you should look ahead and drive carefully."
Gu Yiran touched his nose with one hand, and muttered: "I'm not messing around..."
Just thinking that at the banquet later, someone might look at her with lewd eyes, so I wish I could goug the other person's eyes.
In order to stabilize his mood, Xia Weiyi also coaxed him: "You are also the most handsome in my eyes today."
The black suit and white shirt are so clean that there are no traces. No matter what he wears, he always looks the best in her eyes.
Gu Yiran's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised the corners of his lips beautifully and asked, "Really? Did I fascinate you?"
