Li Fengling's birthday party has not officially started yet. The invited guests arrived one after another. After giving gifts to Li Fengling, they chatted among themselves and waited for the party to start.
Li Fengling was dressed very elegantly. She welcomed the guests with her husband, accompanied by Xiao Yuwei. She always likes to look stunning in her appearance. Today's dress is particularly low-key. It can even be said that there is no highlight. She might as well come to the banquet.
The female guests were dressed gorgeously.
Xiao Chen looked at her dress and frowned: "Why don't you dress up properly?"
Someone from the Sun family in Xiangcheng was about to arrive, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with Xiao Yuwei's dress today.
"Mom is the protagonist today, why am I dressed up so beautifully?" Xiao Yuwei said with a well-behaved look.
Xiao Chen wanted her to dress up again, but it was too late. People from the Sun family had already come in, so he had to go and greet the guests who came from afar.
The protagonist of the Sun family today is Sun Shangwen, the fiancé Xiao Chen is looking for for Xiao Yuwei. Sun Shangwen is twenty-five years old this year and is well regarded by the family. He is not the kind of idle person. Xiao Chen has a very good impression of him.
"Master Sun." Xiao Chen greeted Sun Shangwen warmly.
Sun Shangwen also gave Xiao Chen a warm hug: "Mr. Xiao, long time no see."
"I haven't seen you for a while. The elders in the family are all well." Xiao Chen greeted him.
"They are all very good. They also asked me to say hello to your parents." Sun Shangwen said with a smile.
Xiao Chen thanked him and took him to meet Xiao Weiguo and his wife.
"Dad, Mom, this is Sun Shangwen, the young master of the Sun family, a well-known jewelry family in Xiangcheng." Xiao Chen introduced Sun Shangwen's identity to his parents.
As a junior, Sun Shangwen first greeted Xiao Weiguo and his wife: "Hello uncle, hello aunt. I wish you a happy birthday. Little cares are disrespectful."
As he spoke, someone behind him handed over a jewelry box, which was obviously a set of jewelry.
"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Li Fengling smiled brightly. The jewelry given by the jewelry family was definitely good, so she started to wear it to show off again.
"Master Sun, this is my sister, Yuwei." Xiao Chen specially introduced Xiao Yuwei to Sun Shangwen.
Sun Shangwen nodded politely to Xiao Yuwei: "Miss Xiao, nice to meet you."
"Thank you, Mr. Sun." Xiao Yuwei smiled quietly, feeling a little regretful. She shouldn't have dressed up so plainly. She didn't expect that her elder brother would invite such a distinguished guest.
There were many guests, so Xiao Shen could not keep company with Sun Shangwen, so he said to Xiao Yuwei: "Yuwei, please entertain Young Master Sun for me. Young Master Sun, I'll excuse you for a moment."
Sun Shangwen nodded: "Mr. Xiao, go and get busy."
After Xiao Chen went to entertain others, Xiao Yuwei invited Sun Shangwen to sit down in the rest area. Sun Shangwen also wanted to get in touch with Xiao Yuwei, and the two started talking casually.
Xiao Zhiyi came relatively late. She came from her old house. When she came, all the guests had arrived. She was the last one to arrive. She attracted everyone's attention almost as soon as she entered. It was not because she was the last one.
One arrived, but because of her beauty, it is so eye-catching.
Beautiful makeup, dazzling jewelry, and expensive dresses all added to her already outstanding appearance, and no one knew who she was.
Seeing Xiao Zhiyi appearing in such an image, Xiao Chen couldn't help being stunned. He walked over quickly and lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you back?"
"Mom asked me to come back." Xiao Zhiyi was a little helpless.
Xiao Chen didn't know Xiao Zhiyi would come back. He didn't want her to come back at all, so he didn't notify her at all.
"Why do you dress up so well?" Xiao Chen was very surprised. This kind of showy dress was not Xiao Zhiyi's style at all.
Xiao Zhiyi's tone became even more helpless: "My mother sent someone to dress me up because she was afraid that I would be too shabby and embarrassed."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Has the banquet started? Am I late?" Xiao Zhiyi asked, looking around.
"We're about to start. Let's go to our parents first." Xiao Chen motioned for her to take her arm.
Xiao Zhiyi said oh and took his arm.
"Is this Xiao Chen's girlfriend?" Someone saw this and asked the people around him in a low voice.
"I haven't heard of it. Whose girl is this? She's so beautiful." People around her were also puzzled.
"You and Xiao Chen are really talented and beautiful."
"No wonder the person in our family wanted to lead Xiao Chen some time ago, but he declined politely."
Everyone was talking quietly. Apparently no one had ever seen Xiao Zhiyi, let alone knew that she was the adopted daughter of the Xiao family.
Sun Shangwen was also amazed by Xiao Zhiyi's appearance. He asked Xiao Yuwei in a low voice: "Is that Mr. Xiao's girlfriend?"
When Xiao Yuwei looked at such a beautiful Xiao Zhiyi, she felt regretful. She shouldn't have let Xiao Zhiyi dress up so beautifully, and suddenly she was inferior to her.
But if Xiao Zhiyi is not dressed up beautifully, her plan will not be implemented. There will be gains and losses, so let Xiao Zhiyi know how to do it first.
"Master Sun misunderstood, that's my sister." Xiao Yuwei explained.
"Oh?" Sun Shangwen didn't hear: "You have a sister?"
"Well, she was adopted by my parents." Xiao Yuwei said.
I see.
"Your parents must love her very much," Sun Shangwen said.
No biological daughter is dressed up so beautifully, but her adopted daughter is dressed up so beautifully, which shows that she loves her very much.
"My parents treat her as their own daughter, but..." Xiao Yuwei hesitated.
"But what?" Sun Shangwen's curiosity was aroused.
"It's nothing." Xiao Yuwei smiled reluctantly, her eyes full of bitterness and grievance.
Sun Shangwen had more or less guessed something. This adopted daughter must be very domineering at home, otherwise Xiao Yuwei would not show aggrieved eyes.
I have to say that sometimes Xiao Yuwei's acting skills are also very good. With just one look and a few words, Sun Shangwen lost interest in Xiao Zhiyi.
Here, after Xiao Zhiyi gave Li Fengling a gift, she stayed with her. The banquet officially started. Xiao Yuwei also came over. The family stood together, and Li Fengling, the protagonist, spoke.
Li Fengling first thanked everyone for taking the time out of their busy schedules to celebrate her birthday, and then introduced Xiao Zhiyi as her adopted daughter. The guests were in an uproar because she turned out to be the adopted daughter of the Xiao family. They thought she was Xiao Chen's girlfriend.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, but he couldn't stop his mother.
After the banquet officially started, Li Fengling took Xiao Zhiyi everywhere to greet the guests, praising Xiao Zhiyi for being a loving mother and a filial daughter. Everyone saw that she loved her adopted daughter so much, and they praised her for her kindness.
"Hey, Mr. Li, you're here too." Li Fengling led Xiao Zhiyi to a middle-aged man with a big belly, and greeted him with a smile.
"Haha, come and join in the fun." Mr. Li smiled with his fat face trembling, but his eyes meowed towards Xiao Zhiyi.
Xiao Zhiyi didn't like the way he looked at her, so she whispered to Li Fengling: "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom."
"Go." Li Fengling agreed.
Mr. Li's eyes followed Xiao Zhiyi and said greedily: "Mrs. Xiao, your adopted daughter is so beautiful."
"Isn't it a loss to give Mr. Li a second string?" Li Fengling asked with a smile.
"That's what I earned." Mr. Li's eyes were full of passion, but he was a little worried: "I just don't know if Miss Xiao can like me."
"I mentioned it to her, and she didn't object. She is willing to chat with you. You can go there later..." Li Fengling lowered her voice and whispered to Mr. Li.
