When He Wei looked over, Xia Mian looked away as if nothing had happened, pretending not to see them.
Out of the corner of his eye he noticed that He Wei was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite believe that she would appear in such an occasion.
After all, in his eyes, the Xia family is just an ordinary family.
However, he should be able to confirm her identity soon, so he must not know that she saw him until the truth about him and Mao Huimei is revealed.
Xia Mian turned her gaze and saw Fan Xiaowan. The look in her eyes was full of gunpowder.
Xia Mian was a little curious, "Why is Fan Xiaowan here? Didn't she go abroad?"
"What, Fan Xiaowan is here too?" Rong Xin seemed to be unaware of this matter. He thought for a moment and said, "I guess someone brought her here to see me."
He sneered, "After all, she is already 20 years old. She needs to find someone quickly. After all, in the eyes of the Fan family, girls become less valuable as they get older."
The Fan family is a well-known "family of marriage" in the circle. The seven sisters of Fan Xiuzhi were all married to wealthy and powerful families with close connections in various industries in order to maximize the benefits for their parents.
So when the Huo family collapsed, Fan Xiuzhi was arrested, and the Ning family was severely damaged, the Fan family was not greatly affected. They just quickly sent Fan Xiaowan, who was closest to Fan Xiuzhi, abroad.
Now that I have reached the right age, I have come back to look for a marriage partner.
"Then you have to be careful." Xia Mian teased Rong Xin, "You are also a very good candidate!"
"Please forgive me." Rong Xin said, "I would rather marry a girl named Tang."
Ning Shaobai smiled, "It seems to be settled?"
Rong Xin looked at him and Xia Mian with deep hatred, and said sadly, "Now that you are here, you have to settle down."
It is obvious that there is some agreement between him and Rong's father.
So when Ning Shaobai and Xia Mian gave gifts to Grandpa Rong together, Rong's father and mother looked at them with great joy.
"Okay, okay," Rong's father was slightly fat, and his smile was particularly friendly, "Shao Bai already has a girlfriend, when are you planning to get married?"
Grandpa Rong said with a smile, "Shao Bai is not a child anymore. He will get married this year, and he will have a big fat boy next year or the year after next."
aestivation:…
Rong Xin has pushed the elders of the Rong family into a state where he urges everyone he meets to get married. Not only does he urge them to get married, he also urges them to have children!
Rong Xin yelled, "Xia Mian is still studying, it won't be that fast!"
Father Rong said with a smile, "It's okay, you're almost there. Didn't I say that as long as Shao Bai is in love, you'll get married?"
He turned around and said to Grandpa Rong, "We have already made arrangements with the Tang family. Dad, just wait to hold your great-grandson!"
Just as Rong Xin was about to say something, Rong's father said, "This is Rong Xin's surprise for your 70th birthday!"
Grandpa Rong immediately smiled and said, "Good, good! This is the best birthday gift Grandpa has received today!"
Rong Xin was suddenly unable to utter a word.
Xia Mian looked at Rong Xin's frustrated and flushed face, and held Ning Shaobai's hand tightly to hold back her laughter.
Ning Shaobai looked down at her and used his other hand to tidy up her hair.
Rong Xin was just about to take them away when a group of people came in from the door. Most of them were Grandpa Rong’s grandchildren, and some came for socializing, such as Fan Xiaowan.
Xia Mian just glanced at her and ignored her. Ignoring such a person was the greatest contempt for her.
"Grandpa!" Liang Mi, the most lively granddaughter, ran over and hugged the old man, "I wish Grandpa good fortune and a long life!"
Mr. Rong's face suddenly broke into a smile. "Where did you guys go to play?"
"Hey, I'm going to prepare a surprise for you, Grandpa."
The old man was visibly happy as he looked at this group of energetic young people.
When Gao Qiongying and another girl came in, the old man was even happier.
"Miaomiao and Qiongying are here!"
Xia Mian's eyes could not help but fall on the girl named Miaomiao. Ning Shaobai lowered his head and reminded her in her ear, "That's Miss Tang."
Xia Mian had some idea why Rong Xin was so afraid of her. She was indeed a great beauty, but a little cold and aloof, which was somewhat different from Ning Shaobai's coldness and alienation.
Ning Shaobai’s response was “Don’t mess with me if there’s nothing to do”, but this Miss Tang directly said “Don’t come near me”. Her aura was really powerful, and Gao Qiongying wasn’t that conspicuous when she walked next to her.
The elders of the Rong family were obviously very satisfied with her. Grandpa Rong even held her hand and asked about her well-being. Finally, he called Rong Xin to his side and said, "Your task today is to take good care of Miaomiao. Do you understand?"
Rong Xin nodded stiffly, but there was no change on Miss Tang's face.
Gao Qiongying smiled and said, "It seems that Young Master Rong is about to get married." She presented the gift at the right time.
The elders of the Rong family immediately laughed again.
Liang Mi, who was holding Grandpa Rong's arm, suddenly seemed to remember something, "Sister Qiongying, we are planning to perform talents for Grandpa during the luncheon to celebrate his birthday. I remember that you are very good at playing the piano, sister Qiongying, do you want to join us?"
Xia Mian immediately perked up, thinking: Here it comes! The talent crushing plan.
Mr. Rong said with a smile, "Is this the surprise you prepared for me?"
Liang Mi said proudly, "We have been planning for a long time, Grandpa, just wait and see the show!"
Then she said coquettishly to Gao Qiongying, "Sister Qiongying, come here."
Gao Qiongying said generously, "Of course I'll come." Then she turned to look at Ning Shaobai, "Speaking of which, Shaobai's violin is also amazing."
"Would you like to sing a song for Grandpa Rong together?"
Liang Mi immediately clapped her hands and said, "Wow, a piano and violin performance together, that must be wonderful."
Xia Mian looked at Ning Shaobai with bright eyes, "Doctor Ning, you can also play the violin!"
Ning Shaobai couldn't help but laugh at her exaggerated acting skills.
This was something that was expected. Gao Qiongying was a strong and overbearing person. She looked down on Xia Mian from the bottom of her heart and probably wouldn't bother using any shady means.
In order to make Xia Mian feel ashamed, in addition to the contempt of people in the circle, crushing ability is the most important part, and talent show is the most direct and effective way.
After all, these days, it’s good enough for children from poor families to be able to go to school, so how could they have the spare money to learn talents
So after Xia Mian knew that he could play the violin, she immediately prepared a program. Whenever she had free time in the past few days, she asked him to practice together, saying that she would definitely amaze everyone.
But now he's pretending here.
As expected, Gao Qiongying's eyes flashed with disdain, but she smiled and said, "Xia Mian, don't you know? Shao Bai plays the violin very well."
Liang Mi said, "Sister Qiongying is also very good at playing the piano. The two of you can play together as our finale!"
Rong Xin frowned, "Liang Mi, stop fooling around!"
Liang Mi looked puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Gao Qiongying looked at Ning Shaobai and frowned slightly, "Is it inconvenient?"
Her eyes finally fell on Xia Mian and she smiled generously, "It's just a duet to celebrate Grandpa Rong's birthday. You can't be so stingy, right?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Xia Mian, and some looked like they were waiting for a good show.
But Xia Mian didn't show any shyness at all, and said straightforwardly, "It's not that I'm stingy."
She took Ning Shaobai's hand and said with a smile, "Doctor Ning, if you can play the violin, let's play together!"
Having a status is so justified. I want to play with my boyfriend, and everyone else should stand aside!
Liang Mi said, "Sister Qiongying is at level 10 in piano. What's your level? Don't hold Young Master Ning back."
Xia Mian waved his hand and said, "We are celebrating a birthday, not taking a professional exam. Just be happy. Besides, who said I want to play the piano?"
"I'm going to do something different," she said to Mr. Rong with a smile, "I'll make sure you have a great time!"
Mr. Rong liked her energetic look, "Then I'll wait and see!"
Fan Xiaowan said, "Why is the violin so lively? Do you need to prepare something? Don't brag too much and let Young Master Ning handle it all by himself in the end."
Xia Mian was not annoyed, and asked Liang Mi with a smile, "Do you have a list of programs? Let me see what's on, so that we don't clash with each other."
Rong Xin said, "That's true."
Go directly to Liang Mi and get the program list.
After reading the program, Xia Mian said, "Why do they all seem to be piano and violin?"
Nowadays, people worship foreign things and feel that children from wealthy families are lacking in class if they do not learn a few Western musical instruments, among which piano and violin are the most common.
As soon as she said this, everyone's talents became known everywhere.
She smiled and looked at Ning Shaobai, "Luckily I play with you, our show will definitely be the most lively."
Liang Mi asked, "What does Miss Xia want to perform?"
"Drum set!" Xia Mian looked eager to try, and said to Rong Xin, "Brother Rong, do you have a drum set? I want to play the drums!"
Ning Shaobai acted very surprised, "You can also play the drums?!"
Xia Mian raised her chin and said proudly, "I know a lot of things!"
"Aren't drums only used in dance halls?" Fan Xiaowan asked cautiously, "Isn't it bad to play the drums here? Are we going to let everyone dance disco here?"
Everyone laughed.
Xia Mian said with a smile, "It is said that music has no national boundaries and no distinction between high and low. It depends on the place. There are pianos and violins in nightclubs, and they are highly respected by everyone."
Rong Xin gave him a thumbs up and said, "Well said. I didn't expect that you have such a big vision despite your young age."
Xia Mian smiled.
Fan Xiaowan looked unhappy. If Rong Xin's words got out, wouldn't it mean that she was narrow-minded
Liang Mi said, "The drum set is indeed lively, but playing with the violin? Are you sure? Don't ruin our performance!"
Gao Qiongying also smiled and said, "This is Grandpa Rong's birthday party, and it's rare to hear Shao Bai play the violin. You can have a separate performance with your drum set to be on the safe side."
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it won't be exciting." Xia Mian said confidently, "Don't worry, there will be no problem. If it's really not good..."
She was thinking about which chips would be better.
Ning Shaobai touched her head and smiled, "I will give Rong Xin a Ferrari sports car as a wedding gift."
Everyone was in an uproar, Rong Xin was already screaming excitedly, "Really?!"
Rong's father was stunned for a moment before he reacted and said to Rong Xin with a smile, "They are talking about wedding gifts!"
Rong Xin couldn't care less. Ferrari sports cars were extremely expensive and he had been dreaming of one for a long time. He was willing to sell himself for this car.
Grandpa Rong stabbed Father Rong again, "They said something bad about the performance."
Father Rong smiled and said, "Then you should be careful of Rong Xin causing trouble for you."
Rong Xin said, "Yes, Xia Mian, just knock randomly."
Xia Mian wrinkled her nose, "No way." She turned to look at Ning Shaobai, her eyes sparkling, "Doctor Ning, you trust me so much."
Ning Shaobai touched her head, smiled dotingly, and said to Rong Xin, "Can you find the drum set?"
Rong Xin made an OK gesture and said, "How come you found them all?"
No one spoke in the hall. They asked themselves that even if their own parents came, they would never do this for them, so they didn't dare to embarrass themselves.
Gao Qiongying couldn't hold the expression on her face for a moment. She had put in three years of hard work and all she expected was to be able to stay by his side, but Xia Mian relied on the so-called life-saving grace to easily gain so much of his favor...
