Sophie was driving the car and suddenly found that Xiao Man was a little worried.
She smiled and asked, "Xiao Man, what's wrong? Are you worried?"
Xiaoman's face turned red and he quickly defended, "No, no..."
Sophie liked Zhao Dong's nephew very much and patted his head lovingly, "What can't you tell me about? Are we still friends?"
"Then you have to keep it a secret for me!"
"certainly!"
Xiaoman thought for a while before asking, "Well, auntie, what gift should I give to a girl on her birthday?"
Sophie looked surprised, "Girl? What's wrong? Are you dating a girlfriend?"
She remembered that her sister-in-law's tutoring was very strict and she might not agree with Xiaoman having a girlfriend at this time.
Firstly, it is a waste of energy, and secondly, it affects studies.
Xiao Man's face turned red to the root of his neck, "No... no, it's just a classmate!"
Sophie teased, "Classmate? Look at you, your face is so red, and you still call me a classmate?"
Xiaoman nodded and said, "Really, he is a classmate."
Sophie asked curiously, "Girl?"
"Well, he's the captain of our school's cheerleading team, his name is Ai Xiao!"
"The captain of the cheerleading team? She must be a very beautiful girl, right?"
Xiao Man suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "Are you... okay?"
Sophie continued to ask, "Did someone take the initiative to invite you, or did you want to go there yourself?"
Xiaoman was a little confused, "What's the difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. If you are invited formally, it proves that you value your relationship very much. Your gift must be special, at least it must be different from others!"
After thinking about it, she added, "If we are calling a lot of people together and you are invited by the way, then just prepare an ordinary gift."
Xiaoman scratched his head, "Then... she told me alone, what does it mean?"
Sophie laughed, "Haha, then I must like you!"
"No, we are just ordinary classmates."
Sophie stopped teasing, "Okay, if you ask me this question, you're asking the right person!"
"Really or not?"
Sophie asked, "What do you think?"
Xiaoman said firmly: "It must be. Auntie, you are so beautiful, you must be the beauty of the class, right?"
Sophie pursed her lips and smiled, what a class beauty, she was the school beauty at that time.
And the school she attended was different from ordinary schools. It was not an ordinary public school, but a private high school with expensive tuition.
In addition to normal cultural studies, the courses offered also include etiquette training, as well as theatrical performances and film and television related courses.
In other words, in addition to ordinary students, there are also many art students with good conditions in the school.
It's not an easy thing to be ranked in that kind of school, and she was the school beauty of that school for three consecutive years.
Someone once ranked the top five private schools in Tianzhou, and she ranked second.
This ranking is not just about appearance, but also various data.
Academics are secondary, and it mainly depends on family background, resources, connections, etc.
But later, with the decline of the Su family, she gradually fell off the list.
Later, I went to study abroad and didn’t have much interaction with that circle.
Seeing Xiao Man looking at her curiously, Sophie explained with a smile, "Of course, I tell you, at that time, when I went to school every day, my desk was full of gifts!"
"Haha, did my uncle give you anything?"
"He? He's so stingy, how could he be willing to give me a gift?"
Sophie thought of the bouquet of flowers, which had been accidentally thrown into the trash can before they were given to her.
"Then how did my uncle catch you?"
"If I don't tell you, don't ask too many questions about my lord's affairs!"
Xiao Man stuck out his tongue.
Sophie smiled and said, "If it's a gift for a girl, I think you should give her perfume."
Xiao Man scratched his head, "I don't understand perfume either..."
"Don't understand, I will bring it back for you tonight!"
Xiaoman said happily: "Auntie, you are so good!"
"Okay, let's go to school quickly."
After getting out of the car, Xiaoman was suddenly patted from behind.
Hu Haipeng looked at the Audi that was driving away and said absently: "Xiaoman, is that your aunt?"
"How's it going? Pretty, isn't it?"
"Hell, Goddess, she's even more beautiful than a movie star!"
Xiaoman's face was filled with pride, "That's right!"
"Your brother-in-law is so awesome, he can even chase such a goddess!"
"My brother-in-law was a soldier!"
He changed the subject, "By the way, do you really want to go to Ai Xiao's birthday party?"
"Of course I want to go, I have all my birthday gifts ready!"
"Well, I'll come with you then."
"Okay, that's enough bro!"
…
On the other side, Zhao Dong poured a cup of tea for his mother.
Mother Zhao glanced at her and said, "Baby monkey, if you don't go do your business, why are you here with me?"
"Mom, there's something I want to ask you for help with!"
Mother Zhao was too lazy to talk nonsense, "Say!"
Zhao Dong briefly explained what happened last night.
Mother Zhao quickly understood, "Li Dan? Why is she asking you for this? Brat, don't blame me for not warning you. If you dare to be sorry to Xiaofei, I won't be polite to you!"
Zhao Dong hurriedly assured, "Mom, as you said, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's Yu Zhi!"
"Yu Zhi, that little boy of yours? He has also returned to Tianzhou?"
"That's right, I'm back!"
Zhao Dong said and introduced Yu Zhi's current situation.
Mother Zhao suddenly realized, "So you want to bring them together. I don't think this is reliable."
"What's going on?"
"You also know that Li Dan's sister-in-law is quite snobbish. Although Xiao Dan is a rural girl and does not have a household registration in Tianzhou, her conditions are there!"
"Mom, if it were simple, I wouldn't look for you!"
Mother Zhao glared and said, "You brat, just give me a problem! Although Yu Zhi is a good kid, he is divorced and has a child. Can her sister-in-law agree?"
Zhao Dong explained, "That boy is currently being taken care of by his grandparents!"
Mother Zhao slapped her thigh and said, "Forget it, it's useless to explain to you. I'll just go and help you make peace. No matter who Li Dan chooses in the end, she has to seek her own opinion!"
Zhao Dong chuckled, "Mom, I knew you were the best. I'll ask Yu Zhi to treat you to dinner later!"
Mother Zhao stopped him, "Wait a minute, does this really have nothing to do with you?"
"Mom, I promise!"
…
On the other side, the hot pot restaurant opened early.
When Mrs. Li entered the room, she saw Li Dan cleaning the table and sweeping the floor. She hurriedly grabbed it and said, "Xiao Dan, tell me, if you don't have a good rest, why are you doing all this work? I will come later."
Li Dan was surprised that these jobs had always been hers.
In the past, if I was slow, I would not only be scolded by my sister-in-law, but I would even lose a good look.
It's a good day today, my sister-in-law actually rushes to do it?
She didn't expose it and forced a smile.
Sister-in-law Li said with a concerned tone, "Sister-in-law didn't tell you that you didn't come home last night, but you worried me and your brother badly."
Li Dan didn't hide it from her, "It's nothing. Brother Dong sent me back after watching the movie."
Sister-in-law Li smiled bitterly, "That's right. Yesterday Daqing called me and complained to me. I repeatedly promised that you and Zhao Dong are just ordinary friends, and he didn't say anything else."
Li Dan was a little unhappy and retorted in a strong tone: "What is my relationship with Brother Dong? What should I explain to him?"
Sister-in-law Li's face changed slightly, "What's the matter? Are you... still interested in Zhao Dong?"
