C328 He Would Bring up Whatever He Wanted
Hai Xiaomin was six years younger than Ling Yao, but her age was different. In today's society, there was no generation gap, but Old Nazhi said she was still a child. In his eyes, she was as childish and ridiculous as a child playing house with Ling Yao.
The moment they met, Old Nazhi gave her a warning!
The smile on Hai Xiaomin's face was slightly stiff.
At this moment, the servants started to serve the dishes one after another. Ling Yao pulled her to the lower right side of Old Nazhi and pulled open the second seat for her to sit down in a gentlemanly manner. His seat was right next to Old Nazhi's first seat.
Ian came out of nowhere and sat on the second seat on the left, which was directly opposite Hai Xiaomin. He looked up and suddenly saw someone's poisonous and spitting eyes. He could not help but be stunned.
What?
Why did he suddenly look at him with such a scary look?
Inexplicable!
Tonight's dinner was an internal family dinner of Nazhi family. As far as Hai Xiaomin knew, Old Nazhi's wife had already passed away for several decades. After that, she did not marry again. She only had one child with her deceased wife. It was Ling Yao's father, but his son and daughter-in-law were no longer alive. The person Mr. Nazhi was closest to right now was his biological grandson, Ling Yao. There was only one person left to support his grandson, Ian. There were only a few people left on the table.
However, Hai Xiaomin noticed that the first seat on Mr. Nazhi's left was empty. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have been specially reserved for someone.
"Sorry, I'm late!" A female voice was full of apology as she rushed over from the door. Her fiery red dress was particularly eye-catching.
Other than Ling Yao, everyone's eyes could not help but be stunned. They looked at Hai Xiaomin and then looked at Laecia who had arrived. A subtle expression appeared on their faces.
They had actually cheated on their clothes in such an occasion. There was going to be a good show to watch.
Hai Xiaomin was also surprised. Although she had made some guesses when she bumped into Laecia in the garden, the matter of the Nazhi family having an internal dinner and inviting the young miss of the Lance family to dinner was something that needed to be discussed before she could confirm it with her own eyes.
At this moment, the truth was right in front of her eyes.
On the surface, Hai Xiaomin maintained her poise, but in her heart, there was a layer of haze.
Old Nazhi was the owner of the dinner. He could not deny who he wanted to invite to accompany him to dinner. But Hai Xiaomin could only be slightly more intelligent and understand the embarrassment within. Old Nazhi had invited her and also invited his predetermined granddaughter-in-law, Laecia. Was the intention not obvious enough?
Laecia rushed to the dining table and sat down. She looked at the crowd apologetically. "I was delayed by something. I was not late, right?"
In fact, Laecia was also trying hard to relax herself as soon as possible. Just before she came to the dining room, she received a phone call from the Chanel headquarters. The content of the phone call made her mood extremely bad, but she could not ruin the dinner because of it. She could only use her acting skills to show her happiness.
When the dinner was over, she must call again to make things clear!
"Of course, Laecia, you don't have to be so anxious. We will wait for you." A kind smile of an elder appeared on Old Nazhi's face. His attitude towards Hai Xiaomin was completely different.
The hand that was placed on his thigh was suddenly grabbed by a warm and big hand. Hai Xiaomin turned her head and looked at Ling Yao's pitch-black eyes. He rubbed and clenched the back of her hand.
He was worried that she would not be able to take it.
Hai Xiaomin smiled at him. Don't worry, she will be fine.
Ling Yao had already expected the current situation, which was why he didn't want to bring her here. However, just like her, he still had some hope in the depths of his heart. He wanted to do something to change the situation that was unfavorable to them. If they didn't do anything, they could only stop moving forward.
The first step they took was to let Hai Xiaomin and Old Nazhi have an official contact, regardless of whether the result was good or bad.
The food was already served. There were no hot dishes in China, but they were all European and American cuisine. From the golden and crispy roast meat to the desserts and fine wine, no matter if it was visual or taste, it was a supreme enjoyment.
At the dining table, Mr. Nazhi and Laecia chatted happily. The close distance between them was enough to make them talk as if no one else was present. Anyone with eyes could see Old Nazhi's love for Laecia.
On the other hand, the woman that the young master brought back had been ignored by Old Nazhi from the beginning to the end, except for the question that he had asked her at the beginning. After that, they did not even exchange glances with each other. Even the maids at the side expressed their sympathy in their hearts.
Laecia glanced at Hai Xiaomin who was at the back and saw that she was silently cutting the meat on the plate with a knife and fork. A sense of superiority belonging to the victor surrounded her.
"Hai, I forgot to say just now that you are really beautiful in this dress!"2
Hai Xiaomin ate and heard Laecia call her name.
Which pot doesn't open and which pot doesn't?
Hai Xiaomin chewed the food in her mouth and swallowed it. She gently used a tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth that did not have any dirty things and replied with the same smile, "Thank you, Laecia too."
The smile on Laecia's lips stiffen. She accepted it just like that?
Suddenly, Laecia felt that the current Hai Xiaomin had a kind of familiar feeling. Looking at Ling Yao again, she instantly understood. Yes, Hai Xiaomin was currently elegant and calm, very much like the man beside her!
When Laecia clearly knew that she would crash clothes with her at the dinner, the time that was delayed midway was not to change her clothes but to still wear Madam Rose to appear, Hai Xiaomin knew that this opponent was very scheming.
Since the other party wanted to use a skirt to make an article and could not avoid it, then she would take it!
Yes, Hai Xiaomin was not knocked down. As long as she had Ling Yao by her side, she would have the courage to face everything!
"My studio and Chanel collaborated to introduce a clothing series called Flower Language. This set of Rose Ladies is one of the Flower Language series. The sea is elegant and beautiful. The unique temperament of an Eastern woman is just perfect for describing a few types of Flower Language. I would like to invite you to endorse us. I wonder if you're interested? " Laecia smiled sweetly. She looked at Hai Xiaomin sincerely.
What kind of gourd was this?
Wasn't Laecia the ambassador for the Hua Yu Series? Why did she suddenly ask her to endorse it?
Hai Xiaomin's mind quickly thought about it but she could not think of what the other party's motive was. At this moment, Ling Yao took over the conversation for her, "Min is rather busy and does not have time. Miss Lance should look for someone else."
The Hua Yu series was the work of Laecia's studio, so Hai Xiaomin should go over. Wouldn't Laecia be her superior?
Ling Yao did not lack money, so why would he let his wife look at other people's faces!
"As far as I know, hai should be a student now. She still had some time before she desperately took on a part-time job. The job of endorsing this job did not take up too much of her time. It was just taking a few sets of photos..." Laecia seemed to really want to use Hai Xiaomin and continued to persuade her not to give up.
"I said no, just no!" Ling Yao's handsome face turned cold.
