"It's early in the morning, what is there to do?"
Cai Xiaotang opened the door, and sure enough, she saw Li Xiao standing outside the door, and he had packed up neatly.
"Is this still early? It's already half past eleven in the morning."
As Li Xiao spoke, he waved something like an invitation in his hand.
"What?" Cai Xiaotang was suddenly attracted by the thing in his hand.
When he saw it, he handed the invitation letter directly to his eyes.
"It was delivered this morning. It's for you. Take a look."
Li Xiao's tone was full of laughter, with an inexplicable hint of watching a show.
Cai Xiaotang curled her lips immediately, then quickly reached out and opened the invitation.
Then he frowned suddenly: "Afternoon tea party? What is it? Do you need to write a special invitation letter for this kind of thing?"
"I don't think it's necessary either." As expected, Li Xiao was amused by her reaction, and then continued.
"This is not an ordinary afternoon tea party, it's just... something related to the Li family. The young ladies of each family will get together at a fixed time to drink tea and chat. It's a... circle A kind of social interaction.”
"Tsk... It's really troublesome. Places filled with women are the most tiring. What's the point of socializing? I won't go."
Cai Xiaotang refused without saying a word and directly stuffed the invitation letter back into Li Xiao's arms.
He didn't expect her to refuse so simply. Li Xiao looked surprised for a moment, but felt that it was completely expected.
Just when he was about to try to persuade him again, he heard Cai Xiaotang continue: "Please ask for a leave for me, just say... just say that I really want to go to this tea party, but I am not feeling well..."
"They are not fools." Li Xiao heard this and immediately couldn't laugh or cry.
Then the conversation suddenly changed: "Aren't you bored? Just go and have fun. You can save the excuse of being sick for next time. Just deal with it this time..."
"No." Cai Xiaotang still refused.
Li Xiao just didn't want her to sit at home and talk about being bored all the time, so he changed his strategy and said: "In this case... I'm afraid it won't be easy... What if someone says you have a bad temper and it reaches the ears of the old man... "
Li Xiao deliberately didn't finish his words, waiting for Cai Xiaotang's reaction.
Cai Xiaotang's expression changed as expected this time, and her expression became a little looser.
She thought for two seconds, then finally waved her hands wordlessly and agreed: "I know! I know! I'll just go!"
As she spoke, she quickly turned around and entered the cloakroom.
Li Xiao looked at her back in a funny way, and couldn't help but curve the corner of his mouth.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you go to this afternoon tea party or not...
He just didn't want her to be too bored, but it was so interesting to see someone who clearly didn't want to go but had to go...
I don’t know what clothes she will choose?
Li Xiao raised his eyebrows, suddenly looking forward to Cai Xiaotang who came out of the cloakroom with some inexplicable expectations.
Twenty minutes later, there was a soft knock from the cloakroom door.
Li Xiao was in a trance, subconsciously raised his eyes and looked over, and saw...
Cai Xiaotang chose a silver-grey half-length skirt with fringes.
The skirt accentuated her figure and slim waist, making her look plain and mature and quiet.
Her hair, which was originally tied up casually, was scattered around her shoulders, making her whole person's temperament completely different from before.
"It looks like... she seems a bit like a lady..." Li Xiao touched his chin and gave his own evaluation.
"That's what I am!" Cai Xiaotang replied angrily, sat in front of the dressing mirror and began to style herself.
It didn't take long for everything to be tidied up.
"Is this the end?"
Li Xiao, who had been watching the whole process, asked timely questions with an undisguised surprise in his tone.
This was the first time he had seen a woman put on makeup so quickly!
Doesn’t it normally take an hour or two?
Cai Xiaotang snorted, gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ears, and stood up calmly, with a disdainful and confident tone: "I have a good foundation, I don't need to put on such heavy makeup! Besides, it's just an ordinary tea party That’s it, I’m not going to attend the award ceremony..."
"Well...I don't deny this..." Li Xiao nodded in a rare and cooperative manner.
Cai Xiaotang was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the other party very warily.
What is this guy doing? He suddenly talks to himself!
Weirdly... he actually agreed with what he had just boasted about!
Sure enough, he has evil intentions!
After this matter is over, we must get divorced as soon as possible!
…
Afternoon——
Cai Xiaotang finished her lunch and got directly into the car specially arranged by Li Xiao.
She looked out the window with interest, not looking forward to this so-called "tea party".
Not long after, a garden villa appeared in front of us.
Cai Xiaotang got out of the car and glanced at the other cars outside the door calmly. At first glance, they were all expensive.
"Are you Mrs. Li San? Please come in quickly, our wife has been waiting for you for a long time."
A well-dressed old man appeared at the door of the villa. He seemed to be the housekeeper here.
Cai Xiaotang nodded and followed the old man in.
She remembered... this family belonged to a cousin of the Li family, surnamed Ji, so... the person she was going to meet soon was Mrs. Ji...
Cai Xiaotang muttered to herself, followed the housekeeper through the corridor, and came to a garden.
There were already five or six women sitting on the round table in the center.
Some of them seem to be in the same grade as Cai Xiaotang, while others are older than her.
But everyone looked aloof, and the clothes and accessories they wore simply had the four characters "graceful and luxurious" engraved on their bodies.
"Ouch! Mrs. Li San is here!"
One of the women sitting at the main seat stood up, seemed to hold Cai Xiaotang's hand enthusiastically, and sat down next to her.
The other people smiled, looked at Cai Xiaotang calmly, and quickly exchanged glances.
"Mrs. Li San, since you are here, you don't have to be polite. We will all be friends from now on..."
Mrs. Ji was the first to speak. As she spoke, she poured Cai Xiaotang a cup of tea.
"Thank you." Cai Xiaotang thanked politely, smiled at a few people, and then continued: "You can just call me Xiaotang."
As soon as she finished speaking, someone next to her suddenly laughed.
"Mrs. Li San is really arrogant. She deserves to be someone who has been out there for a long time."
A woman who was about the same age as Cai Xiaotang covered her face and smiled. After saying that, the others also laughed.
A dark light flashed across Cai Xiaotang's eyes, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart.
Outside?
It seems that they are very aware of the bad things going on in their family...
This tea party seems not as simple as I thought before...
