At nine-thirty in the morning, Xiang Huan arrived at his store with dark circles under his eyes.
She walked around the store twice, but couldn't find anything she liked, so she and the store manager studied how to adjust the placement of the furniture.
She personally participated and worked for a whole day until the closing time in the evening.
Pan Ning called her twice and sent countless WeChat messages to remind her to hurry up and prepare her outfit for the banquet tonight. This was a very critical moment.
Xiang Huan didn't tell her mother what Cheng Ye said to her before leaving yesterday.
She spent the shortest possible time getting her makeup and hair done appropriately, and tonight she chose a cream-white dress that highlighted her figure.
The welcome banquet for getting married was held in a Chinese-style courtyard in the suburbs of my home.
Xiang Huan and her daughter arrived twenty minutes early. Not long after they entered, Pan Ning took the initiative to greet the people she wanted to make friends with, leaving Xiang Huan alone.
Xiang Huan hadn't seen tonight's protagonist appear yet. He lowered his head and took out his phone to check, but he didn't receive any new messages from Narino.
Their WeChat chat history is still at noon today.
Chengye sent her a photo of himself wearing a suit without any description. Xiang Huan guessed that it was what he would wear tonight.
Xiang Huan's dress was carefully chosen based on the photos.
She took a glass of juice and stood in the corner to drink it, wondering who the person who could be his female companion would be.
This question soon had an answer.
Narino walked out of the house with his boss father, and the guests around him stopped talking and paid attention.
A young girl wearing a milk-white suit followed Narino a step behind.
Pan Ning also returned to her daughter and asked her in a low voice what was going on.
Xiang Huan shook his head and couldn't answer. He looked at the girl carefully. It was an unfamiliar face.
Not far away, guests were whispering and gossiping about why they hadn't seen the married woman.
Before the topic even started, I heard Mr. Cheng explaining to everyone that his wife had a bad cold and was ill. It was a pity that she couldn't be there tonight.
Xiang Huan noticed that when Boss Cheng said this, Chengye beside him made a little eyebrow raise.
After Cheng Tianyu formally introduced his found son to everyone, everyone began to use their own social skills.
Compliment those who should be flattered, and flatter those who should be flattered.
Cheng Ye looked like it had nothing to do with him, and his eyes quickly locked onto Xiang Huan.
Xiang Huan didn't look back, her attention was still on the unfamiliar girl.
The girl looks young, her makeup is delicate but not too gaudy, and her temperament is not particularly eye-catching.
"Be more reserved tonight and don't be too proactive. I'll go over and check it out." Pan Ning approached her daughter and told her before walking towards Boss Cheng.
Xiang Huan was very obedient and continued to drink juice without moving.
On today's occasion, as someone who had just removed her status as the Xu family's daughter-in-law, it was difficult for Xiang Huan not to attract others' attention.
Within a few minutes, the gossiping crowd came to visit.
It was Qu Xiaohua, a female partner of the largest law firm in Lincheng who had been neighbors with the Xu family for ten years.
After Xiang Huan married into the Xu family, she did not live with her elders, but she went home a lot during holidays and festivals, so she and the barrister were relatively unfamiliar.
After something happened to the Xu family, the villa where the elders lived was seized and auctioned, and they almost lost the chance to meet.
As soon as Qu Xiaohua came over, he gave Xiang Huan very interesting news.
She knew the girl next to Cheng Ye, named Yu Na.
The second generation, who has just returned from studying abroad, has a wide range of family businesses and has business dealings with Cheng's family.
Xiang Huan concealed his true emotions and complimented the barrister for being well-informed.
"I heard that you and Xu Jiandong have divorced?" Qu Xiaohua changed the topic.
There is no point in hiding this kind of news, and it cannot be hidden, Xiang Huan admitted frankly.
Qu Xiaohua sighed with emotion, "You two are actually quite matched. It's a pity. I hope we won't become enemies in the future."
Xiang Huan was puzzled and asked why he said this.
Lawyer Qu pretended to be secretive and smiled, pulling Xiang Huan along to say hello to tonight's protagonist.
It's hard for Xiang Huan to refuse.
On the way there, her mother, Pan Ning, came over and joked with Qu Xiaohua, throwing a seemingly casual sentence to her daughter.
She asked Xiang Huan to quickly go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. She felt that her eye makeup was a bit smudged.
Xiang Huan listened to his mother's words and noticed that Chengye had disappeared at some point.
She asked someone about the location of the restroom open to guests, and walked into the first floor of the family's mansion alone.
The Chinese-style interior decoration created a mysterious sense of winding paths, and Xiang Huan found the place while admiring it.
It's quiet here and there are no other guests around.
Xiang Huan walked in, breathed lightly in the mirror, and gave up managing his expression for a moment, his eyebrows drooping in a daze.
She looked at herself through the mirror, and her eye makeup wasn't even worn off.
The phone rang at this time, and a WeChat message came in.
It was sent by Narino, [Come to the innermost room on the right side of the second floor and let you experience the mattress I sleep on. 】
Xiang Huan pinched his eyebrows and did not reply to the message.
After a while, she opened the door and walked out of the bathroom, and there was a person standing outside the door.
It was Narino who had changed into casual clothes.
