Chapter 32: Xiao family dinner
Chapter 32 Xiao Family Dinner
The Su family and the Xiao family are family friends. Xiao Xiao's father, Xiao Lin, started from scratch. He went step by step from a small policeman to the position of the director of the Imperial Police Department. He is also a powerful person in Imperial Capital. It was all under the control of Father Xiao.
Under the heyday of power, there are naturally many people who are swaying, but there are no people who have been able to catch Xiao's father in these years.
Tonight, it happens to be the 25th anniversary of Xiao Xiao's parents' marriage, and all the powerful people in the imperial capital will go to the banquet tonight.
The Qing family and the Su family, naturally, received the invitation letter, and naturally they will also attend.
The banquet was held in the city center, in a five-star hotel. The scene was not very big, but some necessary relatives and friends were invited.
But there are indeed a certain number of people, and they are all families with heads and faces.
It was different from Su Ye's birthday party a few days ago. This time, there were also some elders, not just the younger ones.
The twilight began to slowly descend, and all the waiters at the entrance of the hotel were busy. From five o'clock, there were cars one after another bringing all kinds of flowers.
The person who delivered the goods said that Miss Xiao Xiao ordered it. They had no choice but to find a way to put it on.
But fortunately, some of the precious flower varieties are also set here, so you don’t have to worry about the style that affects the whole layout.
But there are really too many flowers. I don’t know why the daughter party held here yesterday morning also received a lot of flowers.
When did these ladies and gentlemen become so fond of flowers?
In just one day, this hotel has dealt with the cost.
Xiao Lin and his wife stood in the hall, both of them were wearing evening dresses specially ordered by Xiao Xiao. Originally, he didn't want to make a big deal, but he couldn't stand his daughter Xiaoxiao's request, so he could only agree.
But it seems that the daughter has not let them down. Whether it is from the arrangement of the venue or the arrangement of various guests, everything is done in an orderly manner, and they do not worry about it at all.
More importantly, the event is not luxurious, and the venue layout is also very low-key. As an official, it is most taboo for people to make irresponsible remarks, especially when the wind is so tight in the past two years, it is even more necessary to keep a low profile. .
"Dad, how is it, I said you don't have to worry about it, do you like it?" Xiao Xiao stood in the hall wearing a lake blue gift group, watching the people who came and went tidy up the venue.
It was written on the invitation letter that it was seven o'clock, and there was still half an hour for the guests to enter the venue, so there was still time.
"I like it, it's really hard work Xiaoxiao. I didn't expect my daughter, who is usually so self-willed, to be able to do it so well. Old Xiao, don't you feel very relieved?" Xiao's mother smiled at her husband beside her. .
Xiao Lin smiled, the silver hair on the top of his head was combed meticulously, "Yeah, we are getting old too, Xiaoxiao has grown up and can be alone."
Xiao Xiao stepped forward and held his father's arm affectionately, and the little daughter started to act like a spoiled child, "Why, my parents are still very young, and my daughter will depend on you for a long time."
"You **** girl." Mother Xiao smiled helplessly.
They only have a daughter like Xiao Xiao, but they are not spoiled. After all, Xiao Lin is also a police officer. Although he is fond of his daughter, he is not overly spoiled.
However, she is a bit willful, but it is true, but it is to allow her family to have a better life. Xiao's mother has also been in the shopping mall these years and has done some business.
"By the way, Xiaoxiao, Shangqing's family will come over tonight. I know you don't like Qingyu, but anyway, give mom and dad a face and don't make too much noise." Mother Xiao gave her daughter a vaccination in advance.
Thinking of that beautiful face, Qingyu who can attract the attention of others wherever she goes.
Last time at Su Ye's party, Qingyu was in the limelight. At that time, no one remembered the tune she played, and she hadn't swallowed it herself.
"I know, don't worry." Xiao Xiao responded.
This is also her own place, let’s not say whether Yu will come or not. Even if she does, she has to take into account the face of her elders and not be too aggressive, but she probably won’t come if she wants to invite Yu.
She hurt her brain. The Qing family should not let her attend such a big dinner party. Otherwise, even if the people who make trouble take care of the Qing family, I am afraid that there will still be people who will set the limelight to make the Qing family embarrassed.
"I remember that you both practiced the piano together when you were young. Qingyu is indeed a bit arrogant, but you are also friends for now. I heard that she had a car accident and hurt her brain. You should pay more attention to her." Xiao Lin looked at his daughter and said.
"I care about her! How is that possible!" Xiao Xiao mocked.
Xiao's mother shook her head helplessly. Her husband was inconvenient to take care of her daughter's affairs. Naturally, she didn't know how many festivals Qingyu and Xiao Xiao had during their childhood because of piano practice, which also caused Xiao Xiao to still dislike Qingyu.
"Okay, the dinner is about to start, let's prepare first." Mrs. Xiao opened her mouth and said, although she has been in the shopping mall these years, when facing her family, the momentum of that strong woman has been completely restrained.
Xiao Xiao left his parents and went to work on his own. Although it was said that it was seven o'clock, some people would come first one after another.
When the night fell completely, all kinds of cars began to drive in one after another outside the hotel, most of which were based on military luxury cars. He used to work under Xiao Lin.
Qing Jianye came here with his wife Zhang Xue. These families have had some friendship from the past, so naturally they will come over. Qing Yan is busy in the company and has no time to come.
When the two entered the door hand in hand, Xiao Lin brought Mrs. Xiao to greet them.
"Boss Qing, thank you for taking the time to come here."
"Yes, I wish you and your wife can grow old together, Qin Se and Ming." Qing Jianye showed a generous and decent smile.
"By the way, what about Ling Ai and Ling Gongzi?" Mrs. Xiao looked at them, and there was no brother and sister beside them.
Zhang Xue opened his mouth to the Xiao couple, "Those two children are busy and don't have time, so let me bring you blessings."
"Haha, don't let those young people follow us in the old man's place. They also dislike us for being boring." Xiao Lin smiled happily.
Xiao Lin kept his mouth shut about what happened to Qing Yu's brain. He knew what was the hardest thing for parents, especially for a family like the Qing family. Even well-intentioned care would hurt others.
So, if you shouldn't ask, don't ask.
After a few greetings here, it was over. When Xiao Lin took his wife to the side, Mrs. Xiao looked up at her husband. After so many years of marriage, she was still happy.
When Su Ye and her father entered the door, there were already a lot of people in the hall. From the moment she entered the door, she looked around, but she didn't see anyone she wanted, so she lowered her head in discouragement.
After a while, she smiled bitterly. What was she thinking about, the Xiao family's dinner party, that person probably wouldn't come over if he said anything, and it wasn't an important occasion. Even if he had to come, he should only arrange for his subordinates to send gifts.
It's because she thinks too much that it's ridiculous that the mere Xiao family place is so important.
