Chapter 95: refuse to be rubbed together
Lu Yuling has been very depressed these two days. She had a conflict with a **** named Zhao at the Lu family earlier. She always thought that Aunt Xiao didn't like that woman named Zhao. It was really easy to think that she was married.
This kind of woman who came from the bottom with a bit of beauty, when she met a rich man, she was like a blood-sucking leech, and she couldn't get rid of it. The second young master of the Xiao family still eats what she does, it's really a hell.
That kind of slut, she said a few words to her, and what she said was the truth. It was really ridiculous to be a **** and have so-called dignity.
And when she married Xiao Minglang, she was afraid that she would interfere with her plan to marry Xiao Mingcheng, which was what worried her the most.
When Lu Yuling thought about it, Aunt Xiao liked her, and she would not have no chance. When she married into the Xiao family, she would naturally be able to please Aunt Xiao, and then beat the **** down together.
Originally, Lu Yuling just thought this way, she really wanted to act, she was still a little reserved, but when she came home from a party outside, she first found that her father was happy with his current wife and twins. Talking about the company, she can't get involved in these things. And she wanted to talk to her father about the charity fund, but her father had nothing to do with it, and only asked her to discuss it with his wife. But she and her wife are embarrassed to each other. Even if they are working on a project, they have to compete with each other for the limelight. How can she be interested?
If she is married to Xiao Mingcheng, then in the Xiao family, she can represent the Lu family, and in the Lu family, she can represent the Xiao family, and her worth in both families will double.
Lu Yuling finally made up her mind to take action, and after two days, she accompanies Mrs. Xiao to exercise and drink tea. When getting along with Mrs. Xiao, Lu Yuling made her very happy. Because of her prejudice, Mrs. Xiao liked and disliked Lu Yuling and Zhao Ziling. Comparing the two, they increasingly felt that Lu Yuling was a model of celebrities, while Zhao Ziling was a poor woman.
Mrs. Xiao also received a gift from her young friend, Lu Yuling's mother, from Canada. When she talked with her on the phone, she also reminisced and said that she was not in the country. Lu Yuling said that she regarded her as her own daughter. Treat and give pointers.
Xiao Mingcheng is also at the age of marriage. Mrs. Xiao does not want her eldest son to marry a daughter-in-law who is not her favorite. She desperately wants Lu Yuling to be her daughter-in-law. Whether it is doing jewelry business with this daughter-in-law, or running a charity or fashion brand, it is better than facing the poor sour fairy.
It's a pity that Xiao Mingcheng was influenced a bit by the goblin, and actually said that Lu Yuling was "no salt". Mrs. Xiao also carefully observed Lu Yuling, and felt that although she did not have the appearance of a poor and sour goblin, she was definitely one of the most beautiful among the wealthy daughters.
Mrs. Xiao felt that her son might be angry, or duplicitous, or prejudice due to lack of contact and understanding, so she still actively rubbed it.
For example, today she asked Xiao Mingcheng to have dinner together, so she took Lu Yuling there, but halfway through the meal, she said that her jewelry company had something to do and she had to go back to the company first, so that Xiao Mingcheng would take Lu Yuling home after dinner. .
Naturally, Xiao Mingcheng couldn't say anything on the face, only to socialize with Lu Yuling first.
Lu Yuling didn't think it was a wise choice to pretend not to respond to Mrs. Xiao's obvious rubbing in front of a smart person like Xiao Mingcheng, so she said, "Am I delaying President Xiao?"
Xiao Mingcheng said: "Everyone has to eat anyway, there is no delay."
Lu Yuling said: "Actually, I was really happy to work out and watch paintings with Auntie today. Auntie said that she would go home after dinner. I didn't expect it to be like this, but she was also very kind."
Xiao Mingcheng said, "As long as you are happy, let's order."
Xiao Mingcheng was so polite, but he didn't answer her words. He picked up the PAD for ordering food and looked at it. He ordered a set meal for himself, and then handed the PAD to her.
Lu Yuling didn't expect the dignified Young Master Xiao to be so ungentleman. According to etiquette, he must at least give priority to women, right?
Lu Yuling looked at his face, and the identity of the eldest young mistress of the Xiao family, she could endure his little trouble.
During dinner, whenever Lu Yuling talked about a topic, Xiao Mingcheng responded with "um" and "oh", and then concentrated on eating. Lu Yuling almost couldn't hold back the embarrassment.
That's not the most excessive. When the meal was finished, Xiao Mingcheng said with a smile, "Miss Lu grew up abroad, and everyone who eats together abroad is AA, right?"
Lu Yuling took a deep breath and said, "There are also treats abroad. Why don't I invite you." Lu Yuling gritted her teeth and asked the waiter to pay.
Xiao Mingcheng said: "Then why are you embarrassed? Although I don't invite women to dinner very often, I also don't have the habit of asking women to invite me to dinner."
Lu Yuling took a deep breath and said, "Okay, AA."
The two paid their own money and went out. Xiao Mingcheng's driver drove over to pick him up. Xiao Mingcheng said to Lu Yuling, "Miss Lu, let Lao Li take you back. I have something to do nearby."
Lu Yuling held it reluctantly and said, "Really? Then I'd better take a taxi back, so as not to delay the affairs of Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Mingcheng said, "That's it, then... Lao Li will go and hire a taxi for Miss Lu."
Lu Yuling almost fainted from anger, this kind of man looks like a male **** from a distance, and really wants to strangle him to death when he gets close.
Even if she is an idiot, she understands that he means rejecting her, indicating that he has no interest in this "hard date".
…
As soon as Xiao Mingcheng returned home, Mrs. Xiao got angry and questioned him. Xiao Mingcheng smiled slightly and said, "Has Miss Lu called you to 'report'?"
Lu Yuling did call Mrs. Xiao. Although she was very polite and gentle, Mrs. Xiao knew everything she should know about the process.
Mrs. Xiao said, "It was you who was wrong, and Yuling is still saying good things for you."
Xiao Mingcheng chuckled and said, "Do I still need an outsider to speak nicely in front of my biological mother?"
Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but be speechless, and Xiao Mingcheng sighed: "Mom, don't be so hot anymore, you can't do anything like this. I've seen a lot of women like Miss Lu both at home and abroad. , the women I met before can't spark with me, and now I don't call Miss Lu like me."
Mrs. Xiao said, "You don't like Yuling, so what kind of woman do you like? If you want to marry that kind of girl like Minglang, I won't agree!"
Thinking of Wang Haichao, Xiao Mingcheng couldn't help but say: "Ming Lang's marriage, you didn't agree at that time, then you recognized it when you came in. It won't work if you reach me, Mom, you can't be so partial."
Mrs. Xiao grabbed him and said, "What do you mean? Are you going to be mad at your mother? If you don't learn well, you learn from your brother who is bad?"
Xiao Mingcheng is thinking about whether he should move out too. A few years ago, he had a house outside, but he rented it to a senior executive of the company when he went abroad to study for an MBA.
Xiao Mingcheng said, "Mom, I'm a little tired."
Mrs. Xiao just let him go, Xiao Mingcheng went upstairs, took a shower, went to the balcony of the suite, and looked at the window of the servant's room. He hadn't seen the light on the window of that small room, and he couldn't help but panic.
Xiao Mingcheng took out his mobile phone and felt timid, so he thought about it before calling it out.
After a long time, I heard the other party pick up.
Xiao Mingcheng said: "It's me. It's so late, haven't you gone home yet?"
"I'm home."
Xiao Mingcheng looked at the window again and said, "I can't see the light coming from your window. Are you asleep?"
"I'm going home."
Xiao Mingcheng was awkwardly silent for a while, then said, "Are you alone?"
"Yes. President Xiao, are you okay?"
"It's nothing, girls, be careful alone."
"Thank you Mr. Xiao. If there is nothing else, I will hang up first."
"what are you busy with?"
"Of course it's homework." Wang Haichao also wants to be Ziling's family and friends group participating in the city's competition, and the city's competition will be on TV. It takes two days, and she has to make up for her homework.
Xiao Mingcheng said, "Then, take good care of yourself and rest early."
…
Years are like a song, another week.
On Saturday morning, Zhao Jingwen and his wife were watching the convenience store that the Zhao family would pass to them as usual. The LCD TV in the store is the city's satellite TV station, which is broadcasting programs "purposelessly". On weekdays, only Zhao Ping and his wife like to watch this TV. They all play mobile phones and tablets.
Zhao Jingwen suddenly heard Li Ru pointing at the TV and called out, she said, "That...that's Ziling! Ziling is on TV! She's getting more and more beautiful!"
Ziling had some baby fat when she was in middle school, but she was still the school's poor schoolgirl. Now that she has lost weight and changed her core, she is a peerless beauty.
Zhao Jingwen said, "You are dazzled..."
Li Ru said: "Really! Zhao Ziling, a freshman in the History Department of Haida! Contestant No. 9! It says on the subtitles!"
Zhao Jingwen watched the TV carefully, but by this time the camera had already turned to someone else. The host is now introducing the city's semi-finalists one by one.
Finally, after the introduction of the 20 players in the first half of the semi-final, Zhao Jingwen saw Zhao Ziling in the waiting area of the players. She was dressed up brightly, with her hair up and makeup on, and she was also the most eye-catching among the contestants.
Although Zhao Ping's room was at odds with Zhao Xiang's room, he still had to see what happened when he saw his cousin on TV.
English speech contest?
Through the introduction of the host at the opening, the theme of today's speech revolves around "failure".
This is not a variety show, and it will soon enter the stage of the players, but seeing the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, they each show their magical powers. The players went on stage with great enthusiasm, because it was not a live broadcast, it was recorded a few days ago, with Chinese and English subtitles, otherwise they really didn't know what they were talking about.
Finally, when Zhao Ziling came on stage and the lights hit her, her appearance was really too resistant, and the audience was a little different.
Then, Zhao Jingwen and Li Ru saw that their cousin was completely different from what they had in mind. They spoke passionately in English, and used body language that was not excessive to show communication and interaction. Her mellow voice and fluent and clear words made the Zhao Jingwen and Li Ru felt that they lived in two worlds with her.
Li Ru sighed: "Our baby can speak English so well in the future, how good is it?"
Zhao Jingwen said casually, "It's always my aunt, just let her teach her a lesson."
Li Ru said: "People are college students who have jobs after graduation. How can I teach my nephew? How much does it cost to go to a cram school now?"
Zhao Jingwen: "..."
…
In fact, when the game was already produced and put on TV, and only the first half was broadcast, the result of the game had already come out. In the competition under a fair environment, Ziling won the city championship as expected.
So on Saturday in early December, Xiao Minglang and Ziling took Haichao to the "Datang Music Studio" to visit the class, and President Tang came out to meet in person.
President Tang held Xiao Minglang's hand, but he was not very affectionate, because he knew that Xiao Minglang didn't like physical contact.
Mr. Tang invited them to the reception room to sit down for tea. Mr. Tang smiled and said, "Ming Lang, you are one of the rare customers. When my secretary told me, I thought I heard it wrong."
Xiao Minglang said: "I only returned to China this year, and a lot of work has just started, but I also want to meet old friends. Most of my friends are developing in Beijing. It is rare that you are here."
President Tang said with a smile: "The capital is too dry, I still prefer the south. You actually brought two great beauties, so don't hurry to introduce it."
Xiao Minglang leaned on Ziling's shoulder and said, "My wife Zhao Ziling, this is my wife's good friend Wang Haichao, but she is a very spiritual person."
Mr. Tang hurriedly stretched out his hand to greet them and complimented them repeatedly. He really thought that they were prettier than female stars. Music producers like him have seen many female stars.
President Tang said with a smile: "Let Xiao Shaodu say so, but he's an amazing person."
Xiao Minglang smiled and said, "She also likes to write lyrics. She has won many awards for her composition and modern poetry in middle school. However, her entry into the industry has yet to be worked out. Haichao is still in college. I would like to introduce her to you for a part-time job."
Mr. Tang said: "That's still a talented girl, and we are in need of young people with spirituality. What you Xiao Shao introduced must be correct."
Zi Ling asked, "Mr. Tang, why did he introduce it correctly?"
Mr. Tang said with a smile: "We played music together in college, and I was inferior to him in writing lyrics and composing music. I formed a band with Lao Li to release an album, and he wrote four songs for us. He also plays the piano better than us. Well, only he doesn't like to sing. Otherwise, he will become the most popular creative idol in the country. Lao Li and I are not good enough, the songs are popular, and the people are not popular enough, so let's go behind the scenes and be the boss."
Zi Ling glanced at Xiao Minglang and said, "Playing the qin? Guqin?" She thought that his qin sound was also unique, so clear and ethereal.
Mr. Tang said: "Piano, guitar, and guqin should also be able to. Xiao Shao is a juvenile genius, an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs. Few of us in Beijing University will obey anyone, but when we meet Xiao Shao, we have to obey a little. 15-year-old The perfect score for the college entrance examination, the university also has a perfect score in every semester, and no one has broken the record yet.”
Wang Haichao looked at Xiao Minglang in amazement, is this too awesome? Is that human being?
Zi Ling couldn't help but think about the final exam in a month. If she couldn't get a perfect score, wouldn't she just compare him?
Xiao Minglang said with a smile: "It happened eight hundred years ago. Lao Tang, I can leave it to you and Lao Li. Don't bully her, a simple little girl. Lao Li is not here now, he is back, we Let's get together. My wife and I registered in Hong Kong in a low-key way, and we shouldn't hold a banquet before she graduates from college. I'll also introduce you to us."
Ziling saw that he was interacting with friends, and the way he spoke was casual, not as elegant as in ancient times, so he felt that he was really a modern person. It seems that her understanding of him is too one-sided. For her, it has only been a few months since he came to this world, while he has passed 20 years. She should have paid more attention to the 20 years she has spent getting to know him.
