Tonight, Xie Jinhuan did not dress up like other young masters of the Xie family. He just wore a simple yet elegant dark gray haute couture suit. His short hair was neatly combed, and his gold-rimmed glasses enhanced his deep azure eyes.
A bit bookish.
"Son... let's, let's go home? I'm scared..." Mrs. Xie looked timid and gently pulled the corner of Xie Jinhuan's clothes.
Tonight, she was dressed up extraordinarily beautifully by her son. She was wearing an expensive purple-red cheongsam, and her carefully styled hair was tied into a neat bun with a million-dollar jade hairpin inserted into it.
She only wore a simple set of pearl necklaces and earrings, but this set of pearl jewelry was custom-made specially provided by the Mori royal family and was more expensive than diamonds.
In his heart, he is his only relative.
Naturally, he wanted to give her the best of everything.
Xie Jinhuan smiled tenderly at his mother and held her hand, "Don't be afraid, Mom, I'm here."
"But……"
"Mom, I brought you here tonight mainly because I want you to meet Qiaoqiao. Didn't you talk about her yesterday and say you missed her? You can see her tonight."
"Yeah...Qiaoqiao, I want to see Qiaoqiao."
Mrs. Xie's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted, "Qiaoqiao! It's Qiaoqiao!"
Xie Jinhuan hurriedly turned around and saw Tang Qiao'er walking towards him. Heat surged into his eye sockets and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
"Qiao Qiao."
"Thank you, madam!"
Tang Qiaoer hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Xie, smiling like a spring breeze, "I didn't expect you to come over, I'm really happy!"
"I'm happy to see you too, Qiaoqiao!"
Mrs. Xie liked this girl from the bottom of her heart and gave Tang Qiaoer a big hug. Then she quickly grabbed a handful of chocolate jelly beans from her handbag and stuffed them into her hand, "Eat candy, eat candy! Auntie was so special when I saw you last time."
Do you like chocolate? Auntie brought it to you!"
"Mrs. Xie, thank you for thinking of me." Tang Qiao'er held the candy in her heart with warmth surging in her heart.
She is such a person, and it is because she has been used to seeing too many big scenes since she was a child, and she has also experienced bloodshed on the battlefield.
Vigorous and thrilling things may not move her. On the contrary, ordinary warmth that flows slowly and steadily can move her most easily.
"You are so beautiful today." Tang Qiaoer praised with a smile.
"Yes, really?"
Mrs. Xie's cheeks turned red like a young girl, "My son chose the clothes for me. I usually wear loose and casual clothes at home, but suddenly it's so formal... I'm not used to it."
"It's really beautiful, Mrs. Xie."
As she said that, Tang Qiaoer smiled lightly and looked at Xie Jinhuan, "Jin is very discerning."
When Xie Jinhuan saw her smiling at him, his breathing became rapid, and his heart was like a turbulent sea that could not calm down for a long time.
"Everyone from the Xie family is here. Director Xie and my dad are at the same table. I will take you over now."
Tang Qiao'er supported Mrs. Xie and was about to move forward when Xie Jinhuan hurriedly stopped her: "Qiao Qiao, wait a minute."
She looked back, confused, "Huh?"
"You also know the situation of our family. My mother and I lost our status and shares in the Xie family back then, and were sent to Sen Country by my father. We were unable to come back for fifteen years.
I was young at the time and my mother was in poor health. You can imagine how difficult it was for us, mother and son, to depend on each other at that time." Xie Jinhuan's throat seemed to be soaked in bitter medicine, dry and dull.
Tang Qiaoer listened to him silently, and the image of a young boy taking care of his sick mother appeared in her mind, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"So, I don't want to sit with the Xie family, and I don't want my mother to be with them."
Seeing that Tang Qiaoer was silent, Xie Jinhuan thought that she didn't want to agree, so he smiled bitterly and said, "If you feel that me, an outsider, sitting with you makes you uncomfortable, then forget it.
This time my mother and I came, and you saw us. We also brought gifts for the third wife, which is enough.
Then we will go back first and won’t disturb you anymore.”
"Ajin, you are thinking too much."
Speaking of this, Tang Qiaoer had no reason to refuse. She just said gently, "Let's go, let's eat at the same table. It's just a family dinner tonight, don't put too much pressure on me."
Xie Jinhuan's brows were filled with joy, his auspicious eyes curved up, "Thank you, Qiaoqiao."
…
Tang Qiaoer led Xie Jinhuan, mother and daughter, into the venue.
"Brother! Look, look! It's that woman!" Xie Jinchen was shocked and pointed towards the door.
Xie Jinli swayed the red wine glass and raised his eyelids coldly.
When he saw Xie Jinhuan and Tang Qiaoer walking together, talking and laughing, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
"The fourth child seems to have a good relationship with Tang Qiao'er."
"Tsk, that's right. As the saying goes, a brave girl is afraid of stalking her husband!"
Xie Jinchen gritted his back molars, stared at Xie Jinhuan and took a sip of wine, "The fourth child is a born bitch, who can be so bitchy!
I haven't even finished the horoscope yet, but I'm serving tea, pouring water and grilling shrimps with Miss Tang. If they are really together in the future, then they have to pee on her every day?!"
Yun Shan glanced at Second Young Master Xie with disgust, feeling that this brother-in-law's words and deeds were really vulgar, and he didn't look like a young master from a wealthy family.
"Didn't Dad say before that he intended to bring you and Tang Qiao'er together?"
Xie Jinli raised his eyebrows sarcastically, "If you continue like this, your future young mistress will become your younger brother and sister."
"I, Xie Jinchen, am no mean person! If you want me to grovel like the fourth child and stalk like a dog, I can't do it!" Xie Jinchen was very disdainful.
"If stalking you can make you a son-in-law worth hundreds of millions, make your worth skyrocket, and make you even more powerful, will you still be able to do it?" Xie Jinli asked in a cold tone.
Xie Jinchen was suddenly startled and pursed his lips.
"Second brother, if you don't work hard, all the efforts of the three of us brothers and sisters will be in vain."
Xie Jinli leaned towards Xie Jinchen and whispered in his ear, "If he is really married to the Tang family, and is still the most beloved daughter of Director Tang, then this kid will soon turn against the tide and become a powerful person for you and me.
opponent.
The fourth child has been a thorn in your side since he was a child. Watching him build a high-rise building and rise to great heights will probably be more uncomfortable than killing you, right?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Jinchen stared at Xie Jinhuan with a fierce look in his eyes.
Tang Qiaoer brought Xie Jinhuan and Mrs. Xie to the family.
"Oh! Madam Xie! Are you back from Sen Country? It's been a long time!"
Liu Minzhi and Jiang Susu, as Tang Wanting's wives, stood up to greet them with great courtesy.
"These two are...?" Mrs. Xie looked at her son blankly.
"Mom, this is Dong Tang's second wife, this is the third wife, these are pretty brothers and sisters, this is the eldest young master of the Huo family, and the lovely lady next to him is the fourth miss of the Shen family."
Xie Jinhuan patiently introduced it to his mother.
Huo Ruxi originally felt disgusted when she saw this pretty face, but when she heard him call Chu Lu "lovely lady", her frowning eyebrows relaxed significantly.
Alas, men who used to be dissatisfied with their desires are so easy to satisfy now!
Tang Yue took the lead, and all the juniors also stood up. The children of the Tang family were all polite and polite.
Even if several brothers from the Tang family had strong opinions about Xie Jinhuan, they would not express it openly on such occasions.
Only Shen Jingjue sat there with a cold and handsome face, looking at Xie Jinhuan with cold eyes, and the strings in his body were extremely tight, like a bow filled with anger.
He introduced it once, but he was the only one left behind!
Haha, not taking him seriously is obviously a provocation!
"Wow...there are so many people."
Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Jinhuan worriedly, "I can't remember so many people, what should I do?"
"It's okay, Mrs. Xie. We are all old acquaintances. Don't be nervous. Sit down."
Tang Qiaoer was just about to ask them to sit down when she suddenly discovered a problem.
There is only one empty seat left on the entire round table!
"Mom, you and Qiao Qiao can sit here, I'll go sit somewhere else." Xie Jinhuan took the lead in suggesting as if he didn't want to embarrass Tang Qiao'er.
"no, do not want!"
Mrs. Xie hurriedly hugged Xie Jinhuan's arm, looking nervous, "Mom wants to be with you, mom doesn't want to sit here by herself!"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Hey, second sister, why do I feel that Mrs. Xie... looks weird?" Jiang Susu elbowed Liu Minzhi beside him and asked quietly.
"I heard from Wan Ting that Mrs. Xie has Alzheimer's disease. From the looks of it, her condition must be quite serious, and even we don't recognize her," Liu Minzhi replied in a low voice.
"Ah? Oh my god... She got Alzheimer's disease at such a young age? How pitiful..." Jiang Susu looked at Mrs. Xie with eyes full of sympathy.
Seeing Mrs. Xie hugging her son tightly and not letting go, Xie Jinhuan looked at Tang Qiao'er helplessly.
"Mr. Shen."
Tang Qiaoer hesitated for a moment, lowered her eyelashes, and tapped Shen Jingjue's shoulder with her fingertips, "Do you mind making room?"
The man slowly raised his eyes, his starry eyes flashing with astonishment, and met her eyes full of resentment, "Why should I make room for him? I was here first."
Huo Ruxi pursed her lips and almost burst out laughing!
What a shame!
"This is not a first-come, first-served issue. As you can see, Mrs. Xie doesn't want to be separated from her son, and I hope they can sit here, so I have no choice but to ask Mr. Shen to change seats."
Tang Qiaoer was not willing to be next to him in the first place, but this time she was about to have an excuse, "After much thought, no one is suitable, but you, so please move on."
Xie Jinhuan hugged his mother, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and raised a faint smile of success on his lips.
"I, no." Shen was surprised and frowned, determined to become a "nail house".
"Okay, you're not leaving, are you? Then I'll go to grandpa's table!" Tang Qiao'er was so angry at the doggy man that she really wanted Bang Bang to punch him twice!
Shen Jingjue felt panicked, fearing that she would really leave, so he didn't dare to insist anymore and was about to get up.
"Qiao Qiao."
At this time, Tang Yue stood up in time and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Shen is also a guest. Don't let him trouble you. I'll just go to dad's table. Don't make it unpleasant because of this matter."
After saying that, the eldest brother Shi Shiran left and made room.
Xie Jinhuan's face darkened.
He knew what Tang Yue meant by this move, and because of this, he felt even more unhappy.
Shen Jingjue secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the trouble was solved successfully.
If he had the chance, he should really thank his uncle.
The much-anticipated birthday party has officially begun!
Tang Qiao'er hadn't seen her sixth sister for a long time, so she specially gave the seat on her left to Tang Qiao.
Xie Jinhuan could only sit next to Tang Qiu. He couldn't hide his disappointment because he couldn't be next to his sweetheart.
"Sixth sister, Fourth Young Master Xie has just returned from Mori Kingdom. You should have a lot to talk about." Tang Qiaoer didn't want the atmosphere to become formal, so she found a topic.
"Oh? Has Fourth Young Master Xie lived in Sen Country for many years?" Tang Qiu asked in surprise.
"Fifteen years." Xie Jinhuan replied with a smile.
"Then you can be said to be half Mori, and much more senior than me. I've only been married for three years."
Tang Qiu also wanted to find something to talk about, so he asked casually, "I wonder what kind of work Fourth Young Master Xie does in Sen Country?"
Xie Jinhuan: "I open a company and do import and export trade."
"Oh, that's right."
"Can Fourth Young Master Xie be more specific? What kind of goods does your company import and export?"
Shen was shocked when he opened his pale thin lips and said these words coldly.
Xie Jinhuan frowned, and his hands under the table suddenly clenched.
"It's not a trade secret, it's not that hard to tell."
Shen Jingjue's peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and she glanced at him with a sharp and scrutinizing gaze, "Or, the business done by Xie Fourth Young Master's company is different from ordinary business, and you are not willing to speak openly and honestly?"
