After Xu Manqin found out that she had gone to see the Qu Lian, she asked a few questions but did not express her opinion on the matter. She had always said that it was fine as long as Li Xiao liked it. On the other hand, she also mentioned something to Li Xiao. "There's a charity banquet next week. Do you want to go?"
Li Xiao thought about it and said, "Okay."
It just so happened that she, her cousin, and Little Green were preparing to start a cosmetics brand. Starting a company also required connections and dealings with many people in the social circle. It would be good for her to go and make her presence known.
Xu Manqin's eyes were smiling. "You can find a male companion to accompany you." She seemed to have thought of something and said, "At your age, there are probably many people who have designs on you."
Li Xiao's conditions were indeed very good. Even if the Li Clan was in dire straits now, it would not affect her at all. Those who were slightly well-informed in the social circle knew that she was a master of metaphysics. She could read fortunes and set up feng shui arrays. Moreover, she was still young and had limitless possibilities in the future. Even without the halo of a master of metaphysics, Li Xiao was also rich. The assets under her name now added up to 20 to 30 billion yuan. Many companies and entire families combined might not be as rich as her.
She was a capable and rich fair and beautiful woman. If it were not for the fact that Li Xiao usually did not attend these banquets and that she was usually elusive, there would have been people chasing after her. Even on Xu Manqin's side, there were many old friends who tried to sound her out.
Xu Manqin basically brushed them off perfunctorily.
Li Xiao understood what she meant and nodded slightly. "Okay, I'll definitely bring a male companion."
She thought about it and decided to bring Cang Hai. The main reason was that among her friends of the opposite sex, Cang Hai was the best with her. Moreover, Cang Hai was good-looking!
That pleasing face could make one eat a few more bowls of rice just by looking at him. When the time came, if someone pestered her, she could totally point at Cang Hai and say to the other party, "I don't want anyone who isn't as good-looking as Cang Hai."
She was such a stubborn person who was obsessed with appearances.
If Cang Hai couldn't accompany her, then she would find a vixen and turn the vixen into a handsome guy who would make people unable to close their legs, blinding everyone's eyes.
Xu Manqin couldn't help but think of that handsome young man, and the smile on his face deepened. "Cang Hai, right?"
That child, Xu Feng, had mentioned it to her a few times.
Li Xiao did not hesitate at all. "Yes, it's him."
His face appeared in Xu Manqin's mind. She had to admit that her daughter had good taste, at least better than her.
"I have a few sets of clothes that suit him. He can try them on."
Li Xiao didn't stand on ceremony with her own mother. "Okay, I'll bring him here."
As the saying goes, one should respect Luo Yi first before respecting others. There was some truth to this saying. Especially those who attended the charity banquet, many of them were rich and respectable. If the Cang Hai wore clothes that were less than ten thousand yuan, some people would look down on them.
She quickly mentioned this matter to Cang Hai and asked for his opinion. After he agreed, she brought him to her mother's place to try on the clothes.
When Xu Manqin saw him, her eyes lit up and she sized up his figure. His shoulders were broad and his waist was narrow. He was a natural clothes hanger. When she saw him, she had a lot of inspiration.
"Come, try this set."
Cang Hai blinked and took the clothes inside to change. He originally thought that it would only take a few minutes to try on the clothes, but in the end, he was only released by Xu Manqin two hours later. His mind was completely in a mess, and he had no specific memory of the process at all. It was as if he had been pixelated, and his whole person was in a daze.
In the end, Xu Manqin made the final decision. "I think the first set is still the best! I'll choose him! "
The moment Li Xiao saw it, Cang Hai's expression darkened. He looked like he wasn't in a good mood, and the ahoge on his head drooped down, making him look listless. He looked at her with a hint of grievance in his eyes. She couldn't help but laugh.
Xu Manqin said with conviction, "If you don't try on a few more sets, how can you tell which one is the most suitable?"
In addition to the first set, she also gave Cang Hai two other sets of clothes of different styles. Cough, cough, cough. She definitely couldn't admit that she couldn't help but let him try on the clothes repeatedly just now.
Li Xiao didn't want to experience Cang Hai's experience at all. She chose two sets of small dresses that matched Cang Hai's and then hurried back at lightning speed.
Xu Manqin looked at her back as if she was avoiding snakes and scorpions. She chuckled. "This child."
After spending time with Cang Hai, she had a better impression of this child. Not only was he good-looking, but his temper was also quite good. He wasn't angry even after being tormented by her like this. Moreover, he wasn't the kind of person who had ulterior motives and could see through such shallow thoughts at a glance. After her marriage with Lê Nam Giệu, Xu Manqin was much more open-minded about Li Xiao's other half.
*****
This charity gala was held in a rather famous venue in S City. It was located by the sea and the venue itself was shaped like a shell. It was said that a famous architect was invited. Looking down from above, it looked like a shining shell, full of artistic feeling.
As one of the important guests, Xu Manqin was led by the host of the gala as soon as he entered the venue.
The host was the eldest daughter of Su Le Electronics Group, Su Lanqing. She was dressed in red and looked like a burning flame from afar.
Xu Manqin got along well with her and exchanged a few words with her when they met. She didn't bring a male companion today, only an assistant. Those who came to the charity gala would bring auction items. The money from the auction would be donated.
Su Lanqing asked her, "Is your Xiao Xiao coming today?"
Xu Manqin nodded. "She'll be here later."
Su Lanqing joked, "Then I can ask her to help me see when my peach blossoms will come." Su Lanqing was in a relationship gap recently and didn't have a fixed boyfriend by her side.
Xu Manqin implicitly praised her. "As long as you spread the word, I'm afraid there will be so many peach blossoms around you that you can open a flower shop."
After all, Su Lanqing was beautiful and had an outstanding family background.
Su Lanqing gently touched Xu Manqin with her wine glass. "Thank you for your kind words."
At this time, a rich businessman, Mr. Zhang, who was in the timber business, walked over to Xu Manqin with his son. Mr. Zhang's appearance was only ordinary. Because of his fat body, he had a greasy feeling. His son didn't look like him. It was said that his son looked like his mother. He was very handsome and wore a formal suit, looking elegant and graceful.
This son of his was also his pride. He often brought him out in the past few years to pave the way for his son.
Mr. Zhang and Xu Manqin only said a few words before the topic turned to Li Xiao.
"Didn't Mr. Xu's daughter come with you? Your daughter and my son are about the same age. Young people like them should have a lot in common. They can get to know each other and become friends. "
Xu Manqin realized that compared to him, these people were more interested in his daughter. They were like dogs that smelled meat. She was a little impatient in her heart, but she still maintained a decent smile on her face.
Mr. Zhang's son, Zhang Yuance, smiled slightly. "I don't know if I have the honor."
Xu Manqin more or less heard about Mr. Zhang's family matters. She knew that his son was actually born from an outside mistress. It was just that when the household register was registered, it was under his wife's name. After all, his wife didn't give birth to a child. Just this point alone made her very unhappy.
The smile on her face faded. "Mr. Zhang's son is indeed a talent, but it still depends on the child's own thoughts."
Mr. Zhang laughed happily. "That's for sure." He glanced at his precious son and was satisfied no matter how he looked at him. His son was now studying at a prestigious university abroad and was so handsome. There was no reason why Xu Manqin's daughter wouldn't be moved when she saw him.
Just as he was about to say a few more words to Xu Manqin to improve their relationship, he suddenly noticed a commotion at the door. He turned his head and was immediately dazzled by the impact of the beauty in front of him.
The woman's appearance was exquisite and beautiful, like a blooming peony. The bright yellow dress she was wearing set off her snow-white skin. She was like a sparkling jade, making people unable to look away from her. The man she was holding was wearing a beige suit. His facial features were beautiful, and his eyebrows were like a landscape painting. There wasn't a single flaw to be found. His elegant temperament revealed a noble air. When he stood next to Li Xiao, not only was he not suppressed by her, but the style of the two was very harmonious and complemented each other.
Li Xiao leaned closer to talk to him. Her intimate posture was clear at a glance. The atmosphere between the two was filled with a kind of atmosphere that outsiders couldn't interfere.
After Li Xiao finished telling Cang Hai not to drink, she looked up and saw her mother Xu Manqin. She held Cang Hai's hand and went to see her mother first.
Xu Manqin had a smile on her face and said reproachfully, "You're a little late."
Su Lanqing smiled and said, "No, this time is just right."
Her gaze fell on Cang Hai and couldn't help but be surprised by his good looks. Ren Xiaotang's appearance when he was young was already outstanding. This young man's appearance was even more handsome than Ren Xiaotang's. It was as if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had gathered on him, forgetting all worldly things. If it were any other time, she would have already seduced him. Unfortunately, this was Li Xiao's male companion, so she could only endure. After all, she didn't like to steal other people's men.
Chief Zhang saw the scene just now and then looked at his son. His son, who was originally very capable, was suddenly compared to this strange young man. He was like a manservant by the side of a young master. He did not have the brilliance from before.
Li Xiao let go of Cang Hai's hand and introduced him to everyone.
Cang Hai nodded slightly, his expression a little cold. When facing unfamiliar people, he would automatically put on this attitude, revealing an alienated temperament, making people not dare to blaspheme.
Mr. Zhang recalled and was very sure that he had never heard of any big family surnamed Cang. Just in case, he probed again. "You look a little familiar. Have I seen your father before?"
Cang Hai frowned. "No, my parents are long gone."
His parents had died in a battle before he was born.
Mr. Zhang sneered in his heart. He was sure that this was a man who didn't have a name or surname. Even if he was good-looking, it didn't change his nature of living off a woman.
The way he looked at Cang Ming was now filled with disdain.
He pulled his son and said, "I didn't expect Xiao Xiao to be so old already. I saw you when you were just born. Girls really change eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. This is my son, Ah Ce. You're about the same age, so you can get to know each other. "
He paused for a moment and said earnestly, "Don't get to know those greedy people outside. You can use them to pass the time, but as a friend, you should find someone of equal social status."
Although he didn't mention a name, everyone could tell that the person he was insinuating was Cang Hai, who was brought here by Li Xiao.
His son stepped forward to be the good guy and frowned slightly. "Dad, don't talk nonsense. I believe that if Li Xiao treats him as a friend, he must be good. "
"Sigh, you children don't know so much. People with your status are destined to be surrounded by many people with ulterior motives. Many people try to get close to you with the idea of working ten years less. You may know a person for a long time without understanding his heart. Don't think too highly of others. "
Li Xiao was very unhappy. What kind of idiot dared to bully Cang Hai in front of her?
Her gaze fell on Mr. Zhang's son. He met her gaze and gave her an embarrassed smile, as if he was embarrassed by his father's words.
Li Xiao said, "Is this your son?"
Mr. Zhang quickly nodded and began to boast.
Li Xiao asked again, "Oh, is he your stepson?"
Mr. Zhang frowned. "What stepson? This is my and my wife's son!"
Li Xiao smiled slightly. "Is that so? I saw his face. His father is long gone. I thought he was your stepson. "
She looked innocent and asked Cang Hai, "I'm not as good as you in this aspect. Can you help me see if I'm wrong?"
Cang Hai's lips curled up. "No. From his face, his father died when he was eight years old."
