The venue that Shao Baiqing decided on was the Jinxiu Hotel, which was owned by the Jiang family. At first Gu Nianbin was reluctant, feeling that it was a little strange, but at that time, he couldn't find a decent venue, and even Jinxiu was sold by Shen Li. In order to save Shao Baiqing's face, the schedule was specially adjusted.
As for the invitation letter mentioned by Shao Baiqing, Gu Nianbin insisted on using his own name, but Shao Baiqing refused, and fought with him blushingly, with emotion and reason, and finally forced Gu Nianbin to take a step back. An English abbreviation of GS. What Shao Baiqing meant was that since it was Gu's presence, we should minimize this aspect as much as possible. The guests who came only knew that Gu's was responsible for it, but they didn't know who the real host was. This kind of effect is guesswork. Anyway, if there is no specific person, the media dare not write about it.
As Du Xiaoxian's birthday was getting closer, Zhou Ting almost put aside her business affairs and concentrated on planning Du Xiaoxian's coming-of-age ceremony dance. She mobilized the entire secretary office. Flowers were flown in from abroad to arrange the venue, implement drinks and meals, arrange the on-site orchestra, go through the dance process, send invitations, service reception, security coordination, and everything was done by her. No mistakes are allowed.
Gu Nianbin is also in a particularly good mood these past few days. He has to ask about the preparations for the dance almost every day. Zhou Ting always reports in detail. Gu Nianbin listens carefully and then nods to show that he understands. He is still very assured of Zhou Ting's ability to handle affairs.
The preparations were almost exhausted, and the grand day finally arrived.
Zhou Ting led the staff of the secretary's office to stand at the door as counselors and guide the guests into the venue. Shao Baiqing and Gu Nianjing attended in costumes and walked among the guests as senior executives of the Gu family to greet them. Because it was the invitation letter issued by Mrs. Gu, most of the attendees were either rich or expensive. Looking around, the whole hall was full of fragrant clothes, well-dressed, jeweled and precious, full of nobility.
Although no invitation was sent to Jiang Kaiwei, as the owner of the hotel, he still prepared a small gift and came to the scene to express his congratulations. Being present is a guest, so of course Gu Nianbin can't drive him out. It was not the first time they had met on such an occasion, and there was still some politeness on the surface.
The main character, Du Xiaoxian, did not show up. She is sitting in the waiting room trembling with nervousness. Before, she was excited and excited, as if she couldn't wait, but when this day came, she was afraid. Fortunately, she had applied rouge, otherwise her face would have turned pale. Gu Nianbin She was considerate of the first time she saw a big battle, and sat with her in the lounge all the time, coaxing her gently.
Du Xiaoxian looked at himself in the mirror, and felt that he was dreaming again, as if the one in the mirror was not himself, but another person. A pointed chin, big and charming eyes, eyebrows that are neither too thick nor too thin, a straight and beautiful nose bridge, and pink and full lips. Her hair fell in large curls over her shoulders, and she wore a silver crown on her head. Last time she participated in Yang Liying's coming-of-age ceremony dance, she liked the crown Yang Liying wore very much, and wanted one this time too, but the one Gu Nianbin finally showed her was bigger and more beautiful than Yang Liying's, with a ring around the bottom. With broken diamonds, twisted silk pattern is used in the middle to make the shape of phoenix feathers. There is a diamond inlaid in the middle of each feather, and a large oval pink diamond is in the middle. The girl's face is more beautiful and moving.
She is wearing a pure white dress today, made of soft fabric, winding and dragging, with half-length lotus sleeves, revealing half of crescent-white arms, waist bag and hip cut, which makes her slender waist even more graceful, looking at Gu Nianbin There was a sense of ecstasy in his eyes, which made him regret choosing this dress for a moment. When the little girl came out after changing her clothes, it made him feel as if he was startled, and he couldn't look back.
The bottom of the skirt is paired with a pair of five-inch square heels. Du Xiaoxian usually can't control this kind of shoes, but in order to match the dress, she insists on practicing walking in high heels at home every day. After practicing for a while, she can barely cope. Gu Nianbin is still afraid She was too tired and advised her to wear flat shoes, but Du Xiaoxian insisted on wearing high heels, because Zhou Ting said that high heels and dresses are more temperamental. Du Xiaoxian feels that what he lacks most now is temperament. Sometimes when he goes out with Gu Nianbin, he is popular After taking a look, I feel a little guilty, feeling that I am not good enough for Gu Nianbin. Gu Nianbin didn't want her to wear stiletto high heels, so in the end he ordered a pair of heels, at least her walking was fairly stable.
Gu Nianbin sat with her for a while, answered the phone, and went out. Soon Zhou Ting came in with Wang Qian and the others. The three girls surrounded Du Xiaoxian, all with amazed expressions.
Liu Tiantian said: "Xiaoxian, you are the most beautiful today! The crown is so shiny, it dazzles my eyes."
Because Wang Qian felt that she had the best relationship with Du Xiaoxian, she smiled smugly: "Of course, Xiaoxian's family is not ordinary rich!"
Yang Liying didn't talk as snarky as usual, she helped Du Xiaoxian tidy her hair with a smile, "You look much better wearing a crown than me!"
Du Xiaoxian was overwhelmed by flattery, blushing and said: "How could it be? You look good in it."
Yang Liying added: "Is this dress tailor-made by JK? It's so beautiful."
Du Xiaoxian doesn't know what JK is or is not JK, her outfit is prepared by Gu Nianbin, she just needs to wear it.
Wang Qian thought about it at this moment, and asked with some anticipation: "Xiaoxian, is your brother here?"
"He..." Du Xiaoxian didn't know how to answer, but Yang Liying helped her out: "It must be coming, but Xiaoxian don't tell her, lest she go to the hall and become a nympho, you are the protagonist today , your brother must be busy entertaining guests, don't bother him."
Liu Tiantian also said: "That's right, it's actually better to keep a sense of mystery. Let's go to the hall to see who will recognize Xiaoxian's brother first."
Regarding her exposure to the public, Du Xiaoxian's first concern was Gu Nianbin, fearing that it would affect him, but Gu Nianbin repeatedly comforted him, saying that there was no problem, and later Zhou Ting and Shao Baiqing also said the same, and she believed it . In the past, she didn't want to make it public because she was worried about Yang Liying, but later she realized that Gu Nianbin and Xia Xiaowan didn't have a deep relationship, so she took it calmly. Now she is a little confused, she doesn't know whether to confess her relationship with Gu Nianbin to them.
The three had a conversation, Yang Liying and Liu Tiantian said to go out and leave Wang Qian to accompany Du Xiaoxian, Wang Qian looked at them suspiciously and said: "You don't want to go to the hall to find Xiaoxian's brother? "
"Don't worry," Yang Liying said, "Even if we recognize him first, we won't get his idea. I'll keep it for you, okay?"
When she made a joke, Wang Qian blushed: "Bah, I didn't mean that, I'm..."
"Okay, stay here with Xiaoxian, we'll come back after we go out to have a look." Yang Liying smiled and waved to Du Xiaoxian, and went out with Liu Tiantian on her arm.
The two did not enter the lobby, but walked along the corridor to the elevator entrance. Yang Liying pressed the up button and watched the red numbers keep going down. Liu Tiantian suddenly panicked, "Liying, do we really want to do this?" Do you want to do it? In fact, Du Xiaoxian is quite honest and treats us well. I think... "
Yang Liying interrupted her coldly: "What do you mean? You only said such things when things were coming to an end. You didn't hesitate when you accepted the watch back then?"
"I didn't mean that," Liu Tiantian muttered, "I'm just a little nervous."
"Why are you nervous?" Yang Liying snorted coldly: "We want to expose Du Xiaoxian's true colors, who asked her to pretend to be innocent and make a small watch! This kind of person is simply too shameful, a little girl from a valley, don't be too ambitious , Climbing the dragon and the phoenix and pretending to be cute and pitiful, causing all the men to turn around her, it's disgusting to watch!"
"It's very annoying," Liu Tiantian was aroused by Yang Liying's words, and she took a sip: "The country girl wants to marry into a wealthy family, let's go and live her Qingqiu dream."
The elevator came, the brushed stainless steel door opened silently, and there was no one inside. Yang Liying and Liu Tiantian walked in, sat on the 18th floor, got out of the elevator, walked along the corridor to the front of room 1813, Yang Liying knocked three times, the door Half opened, but the person who opened the door was hidden behind the door.
Sitting on the sofa was a student-looking boy with a gloomy face and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. It was Cheng Mingchi.
Yang Liying turned her head and smiled at the person who opened the door: "Cousin, have you all agreed?"
"It's settled," Xia Xiaowan came over and sat down, "It just so happens that you are here, let's make a plan again, and don't make any mistakes."
Yang Liying looked at Cheng Mingchi worriedly: "You can't do this, you don't have a smile at all, you will be discovered by Du Xiaoxian. Besides, Gu Nianbin once regarded you as a rival in love, and he will definitely pay attention to your words and deeds today. He is not Ordinary people can see through you every minute, so you must be calm and natural, and don't let him see something without doing anything."
"Don't worry, since I agreed, I will do it," Cheng Mingchi still had a dark face, and he looked at Xia Xiaowan: "It's agreed, this is the last time I will help you, after it is done, what you promised me, It has to be done.”
"Of course." Xia Xiaowan patted him on the shoulder: "I have already asked my tutor to write a recommendation letter. Based on your grades, a full scholarship is not a problem. After the Chinese New Year, you will be able to make the trip."
Cheng Mingchi took a deep breath, his face was condensed, and his eyes flickered. He thought for a while and said, "In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, I'd better show up later, so that people from the Gu family won't notice me."
"That's fine." Xia Xiaowan said, "As long as Du Xiaoxian enters the room, the task will be considered complete. You can get out of it."
Cheng Mingchi nodded, and sat on the sofa with his arms folded, his expression solemn. Xia Xiaowan threw a pack of cigarettes on the coffee table, and said, "If you're nervous, take a smoke."
Cheng Mingchi stared blankly at the box of cigarettes in a daze, and didn't reach out to take it, his gaze seemed deep and deep...
