Chapter 44 Approach
"Ruoxi..." Li Jing couldn't help shouting Xia Ruoxi. Looking at the people who were infatuated with him in the past but did not pay attention to him, Li Jing was somewhat shocked. Especially the sweet princess dress of Xia Ruoxi tonight, which is a noble princess, beautiful and unattainable. In addition, Li Jing vaguely felt that Xia Ruoxi tonight seemed to be very different. He exuded a strong and lonely temperament, which made people afraid to approach, but they couldn't help approaching.
Xia Ruoxi heard Li Jing's shouting, turned around and smiled coldly at Li Jing, and then walked away directly.
Well, if she is still confused by people like Li Jing, wouldn't she be too stupid?
At this time, a servant pushed out a multi-layer large cake. The light was holographic, and only the candles on the cake were burning.
Guided by the happy birthday song played by the piano, all the people present sang the happy birthday song while high-five.
Jiang Liru, who is less than the age of a birthday star, is going to be celebrated. She is dressed in a red skirt and surrounded by stars to receive blessings, and then make a wish to blow candles and cut cakes.
Xia Ruoxi has no feelings for a so-called grandmother, so she has to be there because of her identity, but her eyes look around casually and carelessly.
When the light returned to light up, Xia Ruoxi's eyes, which were originally floating around, at that moment, Xia Ruoxi saw her uncle Xia Jun, who happened to be not far from her. At the moment when the light was on, Xia Jun seemed to quickly let go of a person's hand.
Hmm, like father, like son. Xia Ruoxi sneered in his heart.
On what occasion, his wife, sisters, father and stepmother are all there, not to mention so many guests. Even after such a while, Xia Jun doesn't know how to restrain his lustful heart.
Being blocked, Xia Ruoxi didn't see who the woman who had an affair with Xia Jun was. However, I vaguely saw that the woman's clothes were wearing the same color as Qin Yao's clothes, which were also pink...
But it's unlikely. Xia Ruoxi felt that she must have misread it.
Qin Yao and her uncle Xia Jun have known each other for a long time. Xia Jun knows what Qin Yao looked like before. Even if he is fascinated by Qin Yao, today's artificial beauty, it won't develop so fast. And she also did not believe that Qin Yao would accept Xia Jun. In addition to Xia Jun being a married man, there was also the fact that Qin Yao helped her mother Mo Shuyi and Xia Jun fight against Xia Jun in her previous life, so Xia Ruoxi categorically denied what she saw and believed that it was her illusion.
The cake is cut, so it's time for Xia Ruoxi and her aunt's cousin to serve tea to Xia Qingshan and Jiang Liru and ask for red envelopes.
The housekeeper greeted and asked Xia Ruoxi and her cousin Chen Yingying to serve tea.
Xia Ruoxi took the lead, took the teacup from the servant and presented tea to Grandpa Xia Qingshan.
When he had to shout "Grandpa", Xia Ruoxi suddenly felt stuck in his throat and could not shout the name "Grandpa" anyway.
In Xia Ruoxi's mind, she suddenly remembered how ruthless this grandfather was in her previous life and drove her and her mother Mo Shuyi out of the Xia family, which quickly bred a strong hatred in her heart. She thought that if what she was holding in her hand was not tea, but poison, then she would probably be very happy and give it to Xia Qingshan. Although this idea is a little out of place, what Xia Qingshan has done is not as good as beasts. Does she want to be abused by him and respect him again? He has that identity, but he is not qualified!
I haven't seen her grandfather for a long time before Xia Ruoxi committed suicide in her previous life. Now it is several years earlier than the last time I saw this grandfather in my previous life. At this time, Xia Qingshan is still proud and arrogant. The face is also younger. The horizontal face and the domineering temperament are male at first glance. People who see this old man for the first time will feel that this old man is very horrible.
In her previous life, Xia Ruoxi was very afraid of this grandfather since she was a child. As a granddaughter, she had never been favored by this grandfather, but only cursed and beaten. Later, because of hatred and disrespecting the grandfather, that is, he began to look at the grandfather from another perspective and treat him as an outsider. Without feelings, there were no shackles. What's more, because Xia Ruoxi was a rebellious person in her bones, she later took no attention to this grandfather.
Thinking of her previous life, Xia Ruoxi had to think that even if her father Xia Ze was not good in many places, as a father, Xia Ze really loved her daughter. Because one time she was beaten by Xia Qingshan, Xia Ze was furious, just because of her identity as a son of man, she could not be too presumptuous, but The monthly offering to Xia Qingshan was cut off to protest. Later, he also told that except for important occasions and the festivals of the lunar calendar, Xia Ruoxi would not be allowed to come to Xia Qingshan, and she would be abused by her precious daughter.
In the eyes of her father Xia Ze, Xia Ruoxi's daughter is a real princess.
Xia Ruoxi is just offering a cup of tea to Xia Qingshan, but her mood has been repeated several times, and many emotions, especially refusing to open her mouth and shout "grandfather" to Xia Qingshan, so that she didn't bring tea to Xia Qingshan for a long time.
Xia Qingshan was going to reach out to pick up the tea, but Xia Ruoxi refused to call or hand over the teacup forward. Xia Qingshan's face was ugly in an instant, and her eyes became gloomy. There are quite a few immediate volcanic eruptions.
Mo Shuyi, who was beside him, thought through Xia Ruoxi's thoughts at this time and knew that Xia Ruoxi hated this grandfather in her bones, but it was true to take care of the overall situation.
Xia Qingshan is no longer like an elder, but also an elder. If Xia Ruoxi, a junior, is disrespectful, she will still be laughed at by the world.
"Okay, Ruoxi, don't think about smart words. You don't need to say anything cleverly. Just have this filial piety. Will your grandfather still care about those hypocritical words? All right, let's have Fengshou tea. Mo Shuyi skillfully relieved Xia Ruoxi and urged her to serve tea.
In her past and present life, because she can't stand this word forbearance and has suffered so much, Xia Ruoxi clearly remembers that after every thing happens, she also regrets her little forbearance, but when things are about to happen, she still doesn't know how to learn a lesson.
Forget it, don't be so character. Every time she has a personality, it is not her who suffers, but her mother Mo Shuyi.
Isn't it just a "grandpa"? She just shouted. In order to please Jiang Liru that day, she also called Jiang Liru's "grandmother", which made everyone present unbelievable.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruoxi immediately adjusted the expression on her face and squeezed out a little smile. She still said a few auspicious words, and then called Grandpa and handed the teacup to Xia Qingshan.
Xia Ruoxi's cousin Chen Yingying shouted " grandma", said a birthday speech, and handed tea to Jiang Liru.
Then, Xia Qingshan and Jiang Liru gave two red envelopes to Xia Ruoxi and Chen Yingying respectively.
After the birthday, the banquet officially began, and the guests were free to do activities.
Mo Shuyi pulled Xia Ruoxi's hand and dragged her to a quiet place in the corner. "I don't like being here anymore, so let Fang Yan go back with you. You haven't recovered yet, and you are not suitable to spend a long time here.
Xia Ruoxi was really boring, so Mo Shuyi said so, and she listened.
But what about Fang Yan?
Xia Ruoxi can't find Fang Yan.
Hmm, I'm afraid I don't know where to be a mouse and betray the owner's information. Xia Ruoxi sneered in his heart.
Mo Shuyi told other servants to help find Fang Yan.
"I can go back by myself." Xia Ruoxi was a little impatient.
"Otherwise, I will ask Qin Yao to accompany you back." Mo Shuyi is worried about her daughter. Although Xia Ruoxi is almost an adult, she is the three-year-old princess in Mo Shuyi's eyes.
Xia Ruoxi shook his head and refused, "No, let Qin Yao help you. I don't know when to socialize. It's rare that Qin Yao is a credible person.
However, Mo Shuyi still felt that there was no one to accompany Xia Ruoxi back, so she was worried.
When Xia Ruoxi saw that her mother was so nervous and cared about her, her heart was naturally warm. What she had lost in her previous life was still recovered in this life. Xia Ruoxi has all kinds of feelings in her heart. So she was patient and didn't have to hurry for a moment, but let her mother worry about her.
Anyway, the servant has gone to find Fang Yan, so she will wait a little longer.
Mo Shuyi really didn't have time to spend more with Xia Ruoxi. Someone asked Mo Shuyi to toast. Mo Shuyi had to leave her daughter and go to socialize. She didn't forget to tell Xia Ruoxi to wait until Fang Yan to leave.
In fact, this is the psychological effect. Fang Yan is not a fairy. What can she do with her?
However, Xia Ruoxi also enjoys the feeling of being cared for by her mother, so she is not serious.
Her attention is not in the crowd or the noise, and her emotions find quiet from the noise.
It was also at this time that Xia Ruoxi paid attention to the piano music she had been playing. She doesn't understand what the song is, but it sounds good.
The crowd blocked her. She couldn't see the person playing the piano, so she subconsciously walked to the grand piano over there.
Then she saw her cousin Chen Yingying staring at the man playing the piano.
It seems that the person who plays the piano is absolutely good-looking, which actually attracts Chen Yingying. Xia Ruoxi was a little curious. She knows that her cousin Chen Yingying's eyes are in the sky and she is very arrogant. Her temper and personality are as virtuous and mean as her mother Xiafang, and she can't tolerate anyone but herself in her eyes.
The man playing the piano was wearing a black shirt, lowered his head slightly, and played the piano with his back to Xia Ruoxi. I don't know what happened. Xia Ruoxi actually felt that the back was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. But I just can't remember it for a moment.
When he was about to look at the face of the piano players, Li Jing came in front of Xia Ruoxi with a cocktail.
