Outside the banquet hall.
Tonight, Xie Jinhuan did not dress up like other young masters of the Xie family. He just wore a simple yet elegant dark gray haute couture suit, his short hair was neatly combed, and his gold-rimmed glasses added a bit of bookishness to his deep aifeng eyes.
"Son... let's, let's go home? I'm scared..." Mrs. Xie looked timid and gently pulled the corner of Xie Jinhuan's clothes.
Tonight, she was dressed up extraordinarily beautifully by her son. She was wearing a precious purple-red cheongsam, and her carefully styled hair was tied into a neat bun with a million-dollar jade hairpin inserted into it.
She only wore a simple set of pearl necklaces and earrings, but this set of pearl jewelry was custom-made specially provided by the Mori royal family and was more expensive than diamonds.
In his heart, he was his only relative.
Naturally, he wanted to give her all the best.
Xie Jinhuan smiled tenderly at his mother and held her hand, "Don't be afraid, Mom, I'm here."
"But......"
"Mom, I brought you here tonight mainly because I want you to see Qiaoqiao. Didn't you talk about her yesterday and say you missed her? You can see her tonight."
"Yeah...Qiaoqiao, I want to see Qiaoqiao."
Mrs. Xie's eyes suddenly lit up and she shouted, "Qiaoqiao! It's Qiaoqiao!"
Xie Jinhuan hurriedly turned around and saw Tang Qiao'er walking towards him. Heat filled his eye sockets and the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.
"Qiao Qiao."
"Thank you, madam!"
Tang Qiaoer hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Xie, smiling like a spring breeze, "I didn't expect you to come over, I'm really happy!"
"I'm happy to see you too, Qiaoqiao!"
Mrs. Xie liked this girl from the bottom of her heart and gave Tang Qiao'er a big hug. Then she quickly grabbed a handful of chocolate jelly beans from her handbag and stuffed them into her hand, "Eat candy, eat candy! Last time Auntie saw you, you were so special." Do you like chocolate? Auntie brought it to you!"
"Mrs. Xie, thank you for thinking of me." Tang Qiao'er held the candy in her hands, feeling warm in her heart.
She is such a person, and it is because she has been used to seeing too many big scenes since she was a child, and she has also experienced bloodshed on the battlefield.
Vibrant and thrilling may not impress her. On the contrary, it is the ordinary warmth that flows slowly and steadily, which moves her most easily.
"You are so beautiful today." Tang Qiaoer praised with a smile.
"Y-yeah?"
Mrs. Xie's cheeks turned red like a girl, "My son chose the clothes for me. I usually wear loose and casual clothes at home, but suddenly it's so formal... I'm not used to it."
"It's really beautiful, Mrs. Xie."
As she said that, Tang Qiaoer smiled lightly and looked at Xie Jinhuan, "Jin is very discerning."
When Xie Jinhuan saw her smiling at him, his breathing became rapid, and his heart was like a turbulent sea that could not calm down for a long time.
"Everyone from the Xie family is here. Director Xie and my dad are at the same table. I will take you over now."
Tang Qiao'er supported Mrs. Xie and was about to move forward when Xie Jinhuan hurriedly stopped her: "Qiao Qiao, wait a minute."
She looked back, confused, "Huh?"
"You also know the situation of our family. My mother and I lost our status and shares in the Xie family back then, and were sent to Sen Country by my father. We were unable to come back for fifteen years.
I was young at the time, and my mother was in poor health. You can imagine how difficult it was for us, mother and son, to live together. "Xie Jinhuan's throat felt like it was soaked in bitter medicine, dry and dull.
Tang Qiaoer listened to him silently, and the image of a young boy taking care of his sick mother appeared in her mind, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"So, I don't want to sit with the Xie family, and I don't want my mother to be with them."
Seeing that Tang Qiaoer was silent, Xie Jinhuan thought that she didn't want to agree, so he smiled bitterly and said, "If you feel that me, an outsider, makes you uncomfortable sitting with you, then forget it.
This time my mother and I came, and you also saw me. We also brought gifts for the third wife, which is enough.
Then we will go back first and won't disturb you anymore. "
"Ajin, you are thinking too much."
Speaking of this, Tang Qiaoer had no reason to refuse. She just said gently, "Let's go, let's eat at the same table. It's just a family dinner tonight, don't put too much pressure on her."
