"Okay, thank you Aunt Song." Li Mo lowered her eyes, very sensible and well-behaved.
"Um."
Song Ling responded with satisfaction and followed Nan Ling out.
…
Outside the corridor.
Nan Ling stopped first and turned to face his mother. Considering that there were people below, he tried to control his tone and said, "Mom, are you taking her to Aunt's birthday party?"
"What are you talking about?" Song Ling has always been well protected. Although she is almost 50, she still maintains the innocence and casualness of a girl in interpersonal relationships.
She didn't notice Nan Ling's resistance, and gave him a scolding look: "Li Mo is your sister, how can you be so stingy as a brother?"
Nan Ling was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing. He didn't want to get entangled with her about the irrelevant relationship between relatives, and asked directly: "Does Dad agree?"
Song Ling was unhappy: "What do you mean?"
Nan Ling hesitated to speak.
He was taught to respect women. He had already told Song Ling about Li Mo's outrageous behavior once before. Asking him to say it again would somewhat violate the etiquette of the Western gentleman he was taught.
Song Ling didn't see that he was unhappy, and continued, "Your father didn't say he didn't agree with me taking Momo and your aunt with me."
"Mom." Nan Ling didn't know how to reason with her.
Song Ling really didn't want to hear him say, "It's decided. If you don't like Momo, you don't have to go with us."
She said this out of spite.
Nan Ling was at a loss for a moment and watched Song Ling turn around and go back to her room.
The voices of Song Ling and Li Mo could be heard in the room.
"Aunt Song, isn't cousin Nan Ling coming in?"
"What is he doing here?"
"Cousin, is it..."
"Never mind him, I'll help you pick out the clothes, and when they're ready, you can go try them on." "Okay."
Li Mo's voice stopped abruptly.
Nan Ling heard Nan's mother's angry tone, pressed his swollen temples, and dragged his legs downstairs.
He was thinking in his mind whether he should tell his father.
But thinking about how many distinguished guests would be attending the birthday party today and how busy his father would be, Nan Ling felt that it was inappropriate to disturb Nan Zhengyu with such a "trivial matter".
"Nan Ling." Song Ya saw the young man coming down from upstairs with a sullen face, and she couldn't sit still and stood up to call for him.
Nan Ling suppressed his annoyance for a bit, said "hmm", and said to Song Ya: "I'll go out and wait for you. Call me when you're ready."
"Yeah." Song Ya agreed.
Nan Ling walked away without looking back and went outside to get some fresh air.
…
An hour passed.
Song Ling's personal styling team finally finished styling Li Mo.
Li Mo changed her previous style of deliberately imitating Qiao Nian and put on a pink feather dress from the Xiang family show. The long skirt covered her ankles, revealing her fair leg lines.
Her hair was carefully braided into an elegant bun, adorned with diamond hair accessories, which further highlighted her outstanding appearance.
Li Mo specifically asked the makeup artist to modify the eye makeup according to her own ideas. The slightly upturned eyes weakened the delicate temperament brought by this outfit.
It allows her to have a more unique feeling different from others.
If anyone is familiar with Qiao Nian, they will find here that Li Mo's look today did not imitate Qiao Nian's usual style.
But her eyes, which had been specially modified by a makeup artist, looked very much like Qiao Nian. From the shape of the eyes to the look in her eyes, she showed signs of imitation.
"It looks good!" Song Ling didn't notice anything wrong. When she saw Li Mo coming out of the cloakroom after changing her clothes, her eyes lit up and she praised her.
