Luo Qi and Xu Bingxin's faces were not very good-looking.
The surrounding guests were all pretending to be chatting, drinking and looking at the scenery, but their attention was all here.
"Miss Xi's teachings are mediocre and she even lets the child crawl on the floor. Do you know how many times a day we have to wash the tableware for Holy?" Luo Qi said coldly, her words full of disdain.
“Being pampered may not mean being well-raised.”
Xu Bingxin was not someone who liked to hurt others with words, but she just didn't like what Luo Qi said.
The thought of Luo Qi once imprisoning her daughter for half a year made her even more uncomfortable.
"I also raised Gong Ou. Now he is the president of NE. Where are your daughter and son?" Luo Qi said, as if something suddenly occurred to him, there was a hint of tit-for-tat in his tone, "I won't talk about my daughter, what about your son?" My son is not someone who deserves to be on the stage."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Bingxin stood up angrily after hearing this, stared at Luo Qi and asked.
"Mother!" Shi Xiaonian said, walked towards Xu Bingxin, reached out to hold her arm, and said, "Mother, please sit down, the dance will start soon."
Under the afterglow of dusk, Xu Bingxin glanced at her daughter and understood her dilemma, so she stopped talking and bent down to sit down.
Luo Qi glanced at them indifferently, and his eyes fell on Xiaokui in the stroller.
Seeing Xiaokui, Luo Qi's eyes became softer, and he reached out to pull the stroller over. Seeing this, Shi Xiaonian immediately held down the stroller.
This action was completely subconscious and did not go through her brain at all.
That is an innate child-care mentality.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi, and Luo Qi also looked at her, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and lowered his voice, "Why, I can't even look at my granddaughter now?"
"sure."
When Xiaonian came back to her senses, she slowly let go of her hand.
Luo Qi wouldn't do anything in public.
Luo Qi was about to pull the stroller, but Xu Bingxin, who was very close to Xiaokui, pulled the stroller back, stretched out her hand to take Xiaokui out of the car, with a loving look on her face, "Is Xiaokui hungry?"
“…”
Luo Qi's face was cold and she was about to stand up. When Shi Xiaonian reached out and put her hands on her shoulders, she seemed to be intimate but secretly forced Luo Qi to sit down.
The surrounding guests looked at them intentionally or unintentionally.
"What do you want to do?" Luo Qi was pushed down on the chair, a flash of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Xiao Nian was really getting more and more courageous.
Shi Xiaonian leaned over, smiled and put his face close to her ear, looking very intimate and harmonious, but he said, "If you sincerely come to make peace with Gong Ou today, I think he will be happy, but if you bring Mona here, I’ve already made him unhappy once, and I won’t make him unhappy a second time.”
She wasn't going to let anyone cause a scene at this birthday party.
"Are you suggesting that I'm a vicious mother?"
Luo Qi asked coldly.
"Gong Ou is the person we all want to protect. You have so many ways to twist my heart, why bother today. Don't test me anymore. Instead of doing this, it's better to think of ways to cure Gong Ou's disease." Shi Xiaonian whispered, his hand pressed gently on her shoulder, and the diamond ring on her ring finger shone faintly.
Luo Qi had never been forced to speak like this before, and deep embarrassment suddenly flashed across his face.
But soon, Luo Qi returned to normal, cooperated with her play, turned to look at her and smiled, "In this case, it's not bad to try it again."
As he said that, Luo Qi's foot hidden under the lady's skirt stepped hard on Shi Xiaonian's instep.
The pointed heel stabbed into the instep of her foot.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian's face suddenly turned pale, and she almost fell down without losing her balance.
The guests in the courtyard did not notice the scene hidden under the expensive skirt, and they all stood around chatting.
Luo Qi sat on the chair and looked at Shi Xiaonian provocatively.
"Madam, I love Gong Ou more than myself."
Shi Xiaonian endured the pain and spoke word by word from her lips, with a trickle of sweat breaking out on her pale face.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian leaned over, her face very close to Luo Qi.
Luo Qi looked at the perseverance in her eyes and her lips trembling slightly because of the pain, and suddenly felt that what she was doing was boring, and even a little disrespectful.
It seemed that at this moment, all the grace in him was gone.
Luo Qi slowly pulled his foot back, his face indifferent.
Shi Xiaonian's foot was able to survive, and she let out a low sigh of relief. It seemed that Mrs. Gong and her mother could no longer argue. She turned around and was about to leave when Luo Qi's slightly lower voice sounded beside her, "Holy, I arranged for her to stay in the hotel. You can find an excuse to take a look after the dance, I'll leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian looked at her in astonishment and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
This was her son originally, but now she has to say thank you every time she sees him.
"Don't call me Gong Ou. His character knows that Holy is here. He will definitely rob her and break up with the Gong family even more decisively. My husband will definitely be furious and will not care about Gong Ou's illness." Luo Qi He said, lowering his voice so that only Shi Xiaonian could hear.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "I understand, madam."
When Xiaonian left Luo Qi, she was stepped on hard on the instep. The pain made her walk as if she were stepping on the tip of a knife.
She endured it to prevent others from noticing the difference.
A little away from the crowd, Shi Xiaonian was in so much pain that she couldn't even walk to the gate of the castle, so she could only find a secluded place to stop, sit on a bench, and reach out to pull up her skirt.
As soon as the skirt was opened, Shi Xiaonian saw blood seeping out of the white leather shoes on her feet.
The instep is bright red.
"Miss Xi, are you okay?"
A strange voice came.
When Xiao Nian raised his head, he saw a young boy with brown hair and a high nose standing not far away, holding a glass of red wine in his hand and asking politely.
"Oh, I'm fine."
Shi Xiaonian's face turned a little pale, and her feet hurt as if they were being pricked by needles, as if her flesh and blood were screaming.
Luo Qi stepped too hard.
"Miss Xi, I'm sorry."
The young boy put the wine glass aside, walked to her, squatted down, held up her feet without any explanation, and took off her leather shoes.
"No need." It was too late for Shi Xiaonian to stop her. The man looked at the injury on her instep and frowned, "It's very serious. Who stepped on you?"
"No, I accidentally kicked something. Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
When Shi Xiaonian said that, she was about to take her foot back. The man held her foot and took out a clean handkerchief from his pocket with his other hand. He wiped off the blood and dust on her instep and wiped it carefully.
When she touched the wound, Shi Xiaonian trembled with pain.
Luo Qi's heels were thin and pointed, like sharp knives piercing into her feet.
"This won't work. This needs to be disinfected and bandaged."
The young boy squatted in front of her and said.
"Really? Then I'll bandage it. Thank you."
Shi Xiaonian took back his foot.
"Miss Xi, you can't move now. I studied medicine in school and will be a doctor in the future, so you'd better believe what I say." The boy stood up and looked at her and said seriously, looked around, and then said, "I went in and asked for the medicine kit."
With that said, the warm-hearted boy turned around and ran away. Shi Xiaonian couldn't stop him even if he called him.
When Xiaonian looked down at her feet, she frowned in pain.
She raised her feet and wiped the blood stains on them with a handkerchief. When the sound of footsteps came, she immediately put her feet into her shoes and looked up.
Feng De stood not far away, looked at her and said, "Miss Xi, the dance is about to begin. It's up to you and the young master to dance."
"Okay, I understand. You go and invite Gong Ou."
Start dancing.
How can she dance with her feet
You have to jump even if you can’t.
Shi Xiaonian sent Feng De away, and then slowly stood up from the ground. She was so painful that she lowered her eyes and looked at herself. Fortunately, the hem of her skirt was long enough to cover her feet.
can not tell.
Shi Xiaonian gritted her teeth, tried her best to hold back the pain, and then walked towards the courtyard.
The sky gradually darkened, and all the lights in the huge courtyard were turned on. The lights wrapped around the trees were like a fire tree, gorgeous and eye-catching. The lights on the ground were like stars, embedded in this night, which was extremely wonderful.
Everyone is waiting for the dance to start.
Shi Xiaonian walked over, chatted with some female guests as if nothing had happened, and clinked wine glasses with them.
The pain in her feet made her almost unable to stand.
She could feel blood seeping out of her shoes. It was okay, just get through the dance.
Shi Xiaonian tried not to move much, just standing there talking to people.
"Miss Xi, you are here."
A young boy with brown hair and a high nose slipped into the crowd and walked towards Shi Xiaonian enthusiastically. Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."
When Shi Xiaonian saw him, he immediately spoke while he was speaking.
The light fell on the boy's face, full of vigor and enthusiasm.
"No, it must be checked. I brought the box. Let's go." The boy said.
"No need really."
Shi Xiaonian felt that all the eyes around them were on them, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
The boy in front of him was too enthusiastic.
"Just for a moment, come on, come with me!" The boy couldn't tolerate her resistance, so he took her hand and left, leaving the crowd aside with his other hand, "Give in, give in."
Shi Xiaonian's face turned pale in pain, and she didn't even have the strength to resist. She let him pull her forward, her feet hurting so much that she felt like she would fall down at any moment.
The crowd suddenly moved out of the way.
Shi Xiaonian looked forward in pain and saw Gong Ou walking towards this side. He was wearing a dress suit sewn by Feng De himself. The color was pure black, like the color of purgatory.
His legs were slender and straight, and he stepped steadily on the lawn step by step. The hands on his side swayed slightly as he walked. His handsome face looked tense, his thin lips were pursed so there was no blood, and the light was dissipated. Around him, the corners of his eyes were blurred, and he was looking at her with a pair of black eyes, his eyes were extremely gloomy.
Like a black hole.
A black hole that swallowed everything, as if anyone whose eyes stayed on his eyes for one second longer would be swallowed up forever. (To be continued)
