Douluo: Qin Shimingyue system
Chapter 624 Stepping Stones
"Her son is everything to her now. As for you?" Xia Ranran said, "Do you think that when her son grows up, you, a cheap and arrogant daughter, will still have a foothold?"
Xia Ranran looked at Xia Mengshi's already pale complexion, nodded, said nothing more, and left with an excuse.
Xia Mengshi looked at Xia Ranran's back and was unable to refute.
In the past, she would have defended her mother forcefully, but now...
These things that happened to her made it impossible for her to speak out to Zhu Meiling against her own heart,
Although Zhao Feifei and Lin Qiao also had invitations, they came in because of Xia Ranran's favor and were not arranged in the VIP seats.
At the VIP table, only Xia Ranran and Huo Jingshen were seated.
Xia Ranran sat down and looked around. As expected, the VIP seats were all people from the four major families. Sometimes she really had to admire Zhu Meiling for her acting skills, long-term vision, snobbishness, but also good at pretending, otherwise Xia Haijian would not be deceived like this anymore.
Xia Ranran's eyes suddenly stopped and fell on a woman on the table next to her.
The woman was chatting with the lady next to her with a sideways smile on her face.
Perhaps it was her gaze that made the woman notice something. When she raised her eyes, she met Xia Ranran's gaze.
Jing Huan's eyes suddenly trembled, and his words paused.
The lady on the side frowned dissatisfied with Jing Huan's sudden pause. She followed Jing Huan's gaze and saw Huo Jingshen. She turned around, but did not talk to Jing Huan anymore, but to the person on the other side. said another lady.
"Even if someone from a small place marries my son and becomes a phoenix, he is still a fake phoenix. The young man is very angry and cannot be put on the stage."
Jing Huan's complexion, which was originally not very good, changed into several different colors in a short period of time.
She lowered her head, feeling ashamed.
Her mother-in-law talked about her in front of so many people, especially in front of her former friends. She clenched her fingers tightly and clasped them in her palms, and even felt that the top of her head was full of burning eyes. , including Xia Ranran.
Xia Ranran suddenly stood up and walked towards Jing Huan's table.
"This must be Mrs. Gu."
Mrs. Gu raised her head and glanced at Xia Ranran. The first thing she noticed was the famous brand-customized skirt on Xia Ranran, and her eyelids twitched.
She had seen this skirt before when she went to the mall with her best friend. It was expensive. Because there was only one of them in the whole country, she couldn't bear to buy it. But now the woman in front of her was wearing such a skirt. It can be seen that the value is definitely extraordinary.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu laughed and said, "This is..."
A lady next to her said, "This is the fourth young lady of the Huo family."
Mrs. Gu stood up immediately. At this time, she had completely changed her face and said, "It turns out to be Mrs. Huo Fourth Young Master."
Xia Ranran smiled and said, "Mrs. Gu, you don't have to be so polite. Like Huanhuan, I am your junior."
Mrs. Gu glanced at Xia Ranran a little suspiciously, and then at Jing Huan who was sitting in front of the dining table.
"You and Jing Huan are..."
"We are good friends." Xia Ranran said.
Mrs. Gu's eyes changed a little, "I've never heard Jing Huan mention this before."
Xia Ranran said with a smile: "There is nothing to say. We are not those talkative women who like to brag about our background strength. Everyone knows."
Not only Mrs. Gu, but also the other ladies present felt a little embarrassed when she said this.
Isn’t this what they are talking about?
It was just a slap in the face.
Xia Ranran said with a smile: "Huanhuan and I haven't seen each other for several months, and we haven't had a good conversation. Mrs. Gu, can you give me a favor? Let Huanhuan sit at my table? Also let me Let’s have a good time catching up on old times.”
Mrs. Gu kept the elegant smile on her face, "Of course."
She looked at Jing Huan: "Go, go with your good friend."
Now that Mrs. Gu had spoken like this, Jing Huan nodded and followed Xia Ranran to sit at Huo Jingshen's table.
The surrounding tables were all stunned when they saw Jing Huan sitting at the first table.
You must know that the Xia family's banquet included all the famous nobles from the upper class circles. Even the upper class circles were divided into three, six or nine grades, which can be seen from the distribution of the tables.
"I originally thought that this illegitimate daughter of the Jing family was just like that, but now she can actually climb into the Huo family."
"Now the Gu family will have to look at this daughter-in-law in a different light."
"What's the use of asking the Gu family to look at you differently? You also have to look at Young Master Gu's intentions."
"Young Master Gu? I heard that you got another one some time ago?"
"What about the rumor about pregnancy mentioned earlier?"
"I don't know. Who knows if he has disappeared."
The words of several people did not avoid Jing Huan at all.
Jing Huan's heart sank deeper and deeper as he listened.
The words she usually heard were much more unpleasant than these, but she still had to keep smiling.
Xia Ranran asked Jing Huan to sit on her other side and looked sideways at the heavy makeup on her face.
The makeup was very delicate and could hide her pale complexion, but it couldn't hide the haggard look in her eyes.
Xia Ranran didn't mention her married life, but just mentioned Jing Huan's work and her own work.
Work and love life can be well separated, and the two of them talked a lot.
But Xia Ranran was already aware of it.
It's not the same as before.
There was already a transparent barrier between her and Jing Huan. This barrier prevented the two from going any further, and preventing them from being able to joke unscrupulously, speak their true feelings, and even be like him and Fang Songqi. Late at night, they huddled on the same bed and complained about their man on the pillow.
Never go back.
After all the guests were seated, the full moon feast began.
A waiter came over and asked Xia Ranran and Huo Jingshen to take a look at the young master of the Xia family, but Xia Ranran declined because she felt unwell.
The other party couldn't help but just invite Huo Jingshen and left.
Xia Ranran looked at the man's back with a sneer.
How could she not guess that Zhu Meiling wanted to use this incident to connect Xia Qu with Huo Jingshen, further connect with the Huo family, and help his son find a solid backing like the Huo family.
This was Zhu Meiling's own wishful thinking.
She just refused to let Zhu Meiling get her wish.
Zhu Meiling saw that Huo Jingshen didn't come after two invitations, so she knew it was Xia Ranran who had shied away, and she couldn't help but feel very angry.
She looked at her infant son, and her heart filled with anger.
"This Xia Ranran is really bad!"
Liang Jin came over, leaned over and stretched out his slender fingers to tease the child in the stroller, "Why are you so angry?"
Xia Ranran looked at Xia Mengshi's already pale complexion, nodded, said nothing more, and left with an excuse.
Xia Mengshi looked at Xia Ranran's back and was unable to refute.
