He stretched out his hand to help Qiao Qian get out of the car.
The two golden girls stepped out of the carriage and naturally attracted the attention of the men and women in front of the hotel.
Many people didn't recognize Kevin and Josie, but when they walked into the hotel, they were already destined to be the center of attention here.
The black tuxedo is inlaid with a dazzling blue gem. He has golden hair, dark blue eyes, and a smile on his lips. Because of his dark physique, he exudes a more captivating temperament.
Josie on the side is also stunning. Her long white dress sparkles with tiny fluorescent lights in the night. If you look carefully, you will see tiny diamonds on the hem of her skirt. Her long hair is shawl-shaped, which makes this lady stand out.
She looked like an exquisite porcelain doll.
Xu Tong raised his arm, took Qiao Xi's hand next to him, and walked into the hotel door on the bright red carpet.
"I'm a little nervous."
Aware of the glances from all around, Qiao Qian's fingers unconsciously tightened on Xu Tong's arm.
This was her first time attending such a dance, and it was at the Tongte Hotel, a place where rich and powerful people gathered.
Unlike other children from rich and powerful families who have been able to stand out in various social arenas since childhood, the uniqueness of the Morgan family prevented Josie from even entering a first-class aristocratic academy.
Even Mr. Morgan couldn't squeeze into the circle, how could Josie get in?
"It doesn't matter, I'm here!"
Xu Tong patted Qiao Xi's little hand without leaving a trace, pulled her to the special elevator, took out the invitation letter from Master Moses from his arms, and handed it to the doorman.
The doorman was not very old. He was as tall as Xu Tong Qiao Qian when he stood there.
Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes never seeming to move away from the golden couple in front of him, until the supervisor not far away rushed over, raised his hand and gave him a hard pat on the shoulder,
Only then did the doorman come to his senses.
I hurriedly opened the elevator door, but I was in such a hurry that I didn't even receive the invitation.
It was not until the supervisor, with a smile on his face, hurriedly took the invitation letter from Xu Tong that Xu Tong could take back his hand.
The two got into the elevator, and as the elevator door closed, the supervisor could be heard cursing at the doorman.
"If my family didn't have money, I might be even worse."
Josie's expression turned gloomy. Perhaps it was because she was not able to enter an aristocratic school that Josie had been assigned to study in some ordinary public schools, so she had seen many classmates from poor families who were forced to drop out of school to work.
Xu Tong looked at Qiao Qian and patted Qiao Qian's palm to tell her not to be afraid.
The two took the elevator to the twelfth floor of the hotel.
This hotel has a total of thirteen floors, but the elevator can only reach the twelfth floor because only people attending the dance are eligible to stay in the rooms on the thirteenth floor.
"Ding!!"
After the elevator door was opened, a professional cameraman immediately pressed the shutter.
"Bang!!" The spotlight emitted wisps of white smoke.
After a brief flash, the sound of music and the gorgeous dance hall were revealed in front of them.
In an instant, everyone's eyes were looking towards the elevator door.
Whether it is a man or a woman, there is a look of surprise in their eyes.
"Oh, Josie!!"
A woman wearing a dark blue dress walked out of the crowd and shouted to Josie.
"Aunt Stacie"
Qiao Xi rolled up her skirt and bowed slightly.
"Oh, child, I have seen it since you were a child. Your beauty is enough to light up half of the night sky in Amantes."
Stacie took Josie's little hand and praised her.
Then, before Qiao Qian could speak, she looked at Xu Tong aside.
"Hey, what a handsome young man, you must be Earl Kevin."
The woman stared at Xu Tong first, her blazing eyes scanning Xu Tong's delicate face. Such eyes were very familiar to Xu Tong, and the eyes of the three little guys in the hall were also so impatient when they were eating.
On the way here, Qiao Xi had already mentioned this aunt to him, and it was obvious that she had a very good relationship with this aunt.
"Hello, Mrs. Staci." Xu Tong stepped forward and nodded.
This made Stacie's slightly raised hand return to her skirt in frustration.
In fact, Mrs. Staci is pretty. Even though she is two years older than Mrs. Morgan, her plump figure, fair skin and her charming eyes make her a top-notch beauty for all ages.
At this time, the music started playing and people started to enter the dance hall.
Stacy immediately said to Josie aside: "This piece is very suitable for side dancing. Josie, can you borrow your dance partner?"
Qiao Xi was startled and didn't know what to say for a moment.
But Stasi didn't give her a chance to refuse, and put her hand in front of Xu Tong: "Then Earl Kevin must be fine."
The pure greed in Stacie's eyes made Xu Tong instinctively want to refuse, but when he saw Qiao Xi's reluctant and unwilling expression on the side, he couldn't bear to refuse.
Xu Tong raised his hand and nodded in agreement.
It's not too fun to watch a theater, but your aunt is trying to force you out of your way in front of your face, how can you bear it?
Stand up quickly and greet this old woman as if you were grabbing a mistress.
I'll take care of something.
However, to Xu Tong's disappointment, Qiao Qian finally lowered her head and acquiesced.
"Earl Kevin, I noticed you last time at Morgan's house."
As Staxi spoke, she had already pulled Xu Tong to the dance floor.
When they saw that Stacie had reached the water first and got the moon first, the ladies standing aside stamped their feet in anger.
But there were also ambiguous glances between each other. Although they were reluctant to let Staci, a bitch, get first blood, this kind of thing only happened once, and then they could line up and walk into the little guy's room.
Xu Tong didn't respond. He looked at Staci's body and seemed to be still struggling with where to put his hands.
Due to the height difference, Kevin is a head shorter than Stacie, and his hands don't seem to fit anywhere.
His clumsy expression shows that he is a rookie.
"Put your hand here."
Stasi took his hand and put it on her hip, while her other hand was clenched in Xu Tong's palm, and her fingertips were sweeping back and forth in his palm, the teasing meaning was very obvious.
Along with the sound of music, Staxi leaned closer. Due to the height difference, the pair of peaks on her chest almost hit Xu Tong's nose.
Faced with such a blatant provocation, Xu Tong refused. He had never liked sloping mountains, but Stacie didn't seem to notice that Xu Tong was deliberately avoiding it, and thought he was being shy, so she kept talking
Try to put your body up.
Seeing this, Xu Tong could only use his trump card, stepping forward with one foot.
"Ouch~"
The veins on Stacie's forehead tensed up.
Xu Tong quickly took a step back and looked at Stasi in front of him with an innocent face: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Stasi, I...I didn't mean it."
The delicate facial features showed a nervous expression, which was so cute that it made people feel distressed.
Stasi endured the severe pain in her toes, held Xu Tong's shoulders, as if she had found a balance, twisted her body, whispered softly and came forward, blowing a breath of hot air on his ears:
"It's okay, but don't call me Mrs. Staci again..."
Call me aunt."
This time Stacie was even bolder and put a hand on Xu Tong's shoulder, her fingers sliding from Xu Tong's shoulder to his chest as if they were boneless.
Feeling the solid muscles on the little guy's chest, Stacie was already excitedly feeling bursts of tenderness in her chest...ah
When everyone saw that Stasi, who was in so much pain that she couldn't stand still, seemed to have a mask of pain on her face, but Mr. Kevin was standing one meter away with an innocent look on his face, they had already guessed
what happened.
There were bursts of chuckles from everyone present, and even Xu Tong could feel the ridicule and mocking looks from all around.
"I'm sorry... Stasif... aunt!"
Getting stepped on twice at a dance is obviously a bad start.
Staxi glared at Xu Tong with resentful eyes, but when she saw Kevin's concerned gaze, the resentment in Staxi's heart disappeared immediately.
"Haha, it's okay Kevin, this is just an accident, don't take it to heart, but I'm afraid I won't be able to continue dancing with you. I'm going to go back to the room to have a rest. Can you take me back to the room, Kevin."
Staci said with a seductive tone.
This trick has been her tried and tested trump card. As long as she enters the room, she will have a hundred ways to turn this shy little puppy into a violent teddy dog.
Xu Tong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Qiao Qian who was sitting not far away: "I'm sorry, Aunt Staci. When I went out, I swore that I would never let Qiao Qian leave my sight. I couldn't let her...
People are sitting there.”
Facing Xu Tong's rejection, Staxi felt extremely disappointed, but she knew very well the most sincere feelings in the hearts of children of this age.
Although she was unwilling to do so, she still nodded: "Of course, I don't worry about Qiao Qie being here alone."
After watching Stacie leave, Xu Tong walked up to Qiao Qian.
Qiao Xi smiled half-heartedly and said, "I really thought you could dance."
It is very impolite to step on the toes of a female partner at a dance. Stepping on them twice in a row will make you laugh.
Xu Tong looked around, and sure enough, many people had begun to whisper in the corner. Even in the noisy dance, Xu Tong could clearly hear the voices laughing at him.
He didn't take it seriously. At this time, the sound of the music gradually slowed down.
Xu Tong smiled and did not explain this issue. He just took Qiao Qian's hand, bowed slightly and said, "If you want to know, let's dance a song together first."
Qiao Qian looked at the rose that Xu Tong handed over. After a few seconds, she nodded and followed Xu Tong to the dance floor.
This made the ladies hiding nearby sigh again.
It was obvious that he was deeply saddened by this missed opportunity.
The piano plays a gentle accompaniment, this is a classic piece of music [Lamp of the Saxophone]
Very suitable for difficult dances such as modern dance.
When everyone saw Xu Tong entering the dance floor again, they couldn't help but look sideways. They didn't know if someone had arranged it deliberately or if they wanted to see Count Kevin's joke.
There was no one around the two of them, and a large space was reserved for them.
"Can you really do that?"
Josie was a little worried about her toes.
"Believe me, I once had a teacher who dominated all the dance halls for a time."
"All right!"
Faced with Xu Tong's kindness, Qiao Qian could only choose to believe it.
Along with the melody of the music, the two people's steps began to beat on the dance floor.
Those who originally wanted to watch Xu Tong's jokes gradually realized that little Earl Kevin's dancing did not look like a novice at all.
Not only that, Xu Tong's dance moves even faster and faster, so that Qiao Qian can hardly keep up with her rhythm.
Now everyone understood.
At that moment, several ladies looked at Stacie.
I'm not a newbie, but I don't want to dance with you, so I step on your toes deliberately.
Stacie had a cold face and looked at the two people on the dance floor with eyes that seemed to be on fire. She put down her wine glass angrily and turned around to go back to the room upstairs.
At the end of the song, Xu Tong put one hand on Qiao Qian's waist, and the other hand snaked up. Suddenly his fingers shook, and a paper rose appeared in his hand. As Xu Tong pinched it with his fingers, the rose
The petals slowly open.
"It's for you!"
For a moment, that scene simply made the women present scream with jealousy.
"boom…"
The photographer was very keen to capture the scene in front of him. I believe this photo will be enough to make the headlines in the newspapers tomorrow.
Qiao Xi blushed and picked up the rose, but after glaring at Xu Tong fiercely, the two of them completed the curtain call and exited the dance floor in front of everyone.
As soon as she got off the dance floor, Josie walked to the window with her head lowered.
"Why are you unhappy?"
Xu Tong looked at Qiao Qian's disappointed look and walked to the side and asked.
"You shouldn't embarrass your aunt like this, she will be very sad."
Josie sighed and looked out the window: "Actually, she is a poor person, but she is not a bad person."
"Oh, are you really so sure?"
Xu Tong knows better than Qiao Qian whether Stacia is miserable or not. Just when she was dancing, she looked at Stacie's fate, and her fortune is in danger.
People with such a destiny, both men and women, are the kind of people who are easygoing.
And in the end, you often don’t get any good results.
"She just didn't have a choice."
Josie raised her head: "If I weren't a young lady from the Morgan family, you wouldn't do this to me, would you?"
Xu Tong did not deny it. This was a fact and there was no need to deny it.
Josie sighed: "Actually, in this era, many people have no choice."
She remembered very clearly that there was a female classmate named Daphne who got along well with her in school. They had a good relationship and she even went to her home as a guest.
It's just that her family situation is not good. There are seven children in the family. Her mother needs to take care of her younger brothers and sisters full time, while her father can only support them with a meager salary.
I remember that when I first went to their house, Daphne's mother even brought out a cake for her to eat.
It was a taste she could still recall, a burnt smell, and a texture so hard that she almost bit her tongue.
But this does not affect the friendship between the two.
Until one day, Daphne didn't go to school for several days.
I found Daphne's mother and asked, but Daphne's mother could only cry and tell her that Daphne went to work.
Daphne's mother did not say where she would go to work.
When she said this, Qiao Xi's voice gradually trembled.
His fingers clenched Xu Tong's arm tightly, and Xu Tong could feel the fear radiating from Qiao Qian's body.
"She died later, and when people found her, she had been eaten by wild dogs and was beyond recognition.
It is said that her father sold her to a brothel. She disobeyed and was tortured to death and left in the wild."
Xu Tong patted her shoulder gently.
"Aunt Staci is actually the same. She just wants to be braver and choose to pursue the life she desires. There is nothing wrong with her."
Josie could still remember that when she was a child, her Aunt Stacie would often bring her all kinds of delicious food, and even secretly took her to watch the parade.
Qiao Xi also seemed to realize that she talked a bit too much today. Maybe it was because of the doorman in front of the elevator that she suddenly felt something.
"Sorry, maybe I shouldn't tell you this."
"It doesn't matter!"
Xu Tong handed over the handkerchief, wanting to change the subject. He raised his head and looked out the window: "Look, the moon is quite round tonight."
Qiao Qian raised her head after hearing this, but she didn't see the moon, but a bloody human head hanging in the air.
Under the illumination of the lights in the room, the head slowly turned around, revealing that familiar face, it was Aunt Staci who loved her...
