At the end of his speech, he couldn't help sighing, his voice was vicissitudes.

It suddenly occurred to me that he was 55 years old this year, and he had a lot of gray hair on his sideburns, and he needed to go to the barber shop to get it dyed black every year.

The father who grew up with me is old, even though he is not my real father, even though he has done some things that chill me, but at this moment when he almost begged me to accompany him on his birthday, I still softened my heart.

It's just a meal, and that's all I can do for him in the future.

"Okay, are you eating at home?" I agreed and asked him softly.

The father was instantly delighted, and said with a smile: "At Sophie Hotel, the specific address, I will send you a text message later!"

On Tuesday, I arrived at the Sophie Hotel as promised, and when I stepped out of the elevator, I realized that something was not right.

On the welcome sign at the door, it says welcome all distinguished guests to Ruan Jinhong's 55th birthday banquet.

Entering the No. [-] banquet hall, I immediately frowned. The "simple family meal" that my father said turned into a large birthday party.

"Xiaoshi, you're here." When my father saw me, he and my mother hurried up to greet me, and pulled me past the many guests.

While walking, I did not forget to introduce me as their daughter.

My mother was just right, and asked me in a moderate voice: "Why didn't Yunzhou come?"

I was stunned, and it was not my turn to answer. My father answered immediately: "Yunzhou called me. There is an important meeting today, and he said he would come later. You know, for a group as big as Li's, he called It is very hard to take care of. I let him go home early to rest after finishing his work, and I am very happy to have Xiaoshi accompany me on my birthday."

I feel chills in my heart. I don’t know how many times I have rehearsed this conversation between my parents in private.

My father lied to me. He took advantage of my soft heart and tricked me into attending the birthday party.

In fact, they wanted to use Li Yunzhou's name to seek more business cooperation for the Ruan family.

After all, after the charity dinner, everyone thought that not only did Li Yunzhou not divorce me, but he also doted on me.

"Old Ruan, I really envy you for having such a beautiful daughter and getting a son-in-law like Mr. Li!" someone complimented.

There are constantly looking at me.

I squinted my eyes and looked at my father. The smile on his face froze, and he looked away and dared not look at me.

I felt as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on me, and I felt bone-chillingly cold.

Turning around to leave, my mother suddenly squeezed my hand.

She patted my hand with a smile, and said softly, "Xiaoshi, come and take a picture for mom and the ladies."

Not allowing me to refuse, she dragged me quickly to the box.

Before opening the door, she put away her loving mother's expression, stared at me and frowned and threatened: "No matter what, you are still my daughter in name. If the Ruan family loses face, you will have a hard time in the future."

"So you want to exploit me for the rest of your life until I'm worthless?" I said sadly.

Or I didn't expect that I would talk back to her face to face, and my mother's face became more and more gloomy.If it wasn't for the crowd, I feel like she even wanted to slap me.

She snorted coldly: "You should be glad that you still have value!"

After finishing speaking, she put on a smiling face again and pushed open the door of the box.

Inside sat a group of elegantly dressed women, some of whom I saw at charity dinners, and they were all the wives of the presidents of listed companies.Among them, there is a lady wearing a sapphire green cheongsam that is particularly eye-catching.

She is well maintained, her skin is fair and tender, and her almond eyes are clear and lively.

She's the kind of woman who can't help but look at her more.

"Mrs. Su, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Ruan Shi." The mother said.

Mrs. Su looked at me tenderly, she frowned and smiled like a spring breeze: "Hi, my name is Li Xue, you can call me Mrs. Su just like them, of course, I prefer you to call me Aunt Li."

Li Xue's eyes seem to be able to speak, when staring at people, she can always feel extra cordial.

This is the first time I've seen such an unassuming rich lady, and my originally irritable mood suddenly calmed down a bit.

"Hello, Aunt Li." I greeted obediently.

My mother dragged me to sit next to Li Xue. The gatherings of wives are nothing more than comparing each other.

Who bought a limited edition bag, and whose husband gave a villa yacht.

I was bored, Li Xue suddenly came close to my ear, lowered her voice, and asked me playfully: "You are also bored! How about we cooperate to get away?"

I was stunned, Li Xue blinked at me, when I agreed.

The next second, she picked up a cup of tea and pretended to accidentally spill it on her cheongsam.

"Oops!" Li Xue exclaimed, everyone stopped talking and turned their gazes over.

Seeing this, my mother was a little anxious, and said quickly, "I'll order someone to send a clean dress right now!"

"No need." Li Xue smiled embarrassedly, "I go to bed early, and I was too sleepy just now to be careless. I can just go home and change clothes. I am really embarrassed today. I will hold a banquet next time. Everyone."

While speaking, she gave me a wink.

I understood it, and answered immediately: "I happened to be driving here, why don't I take you home?"

"Then it's hard work for you." Li Xue took my hand and led me out of the banquet hall.

After getting in the car, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

I thought she was cute, so I asked her with a smile: "Aunt Li doesn't seem to like to attend this kind of party?"

"It's all my husband's fault. He said that I just came to the capital and was afraid that I would be bored, so he insisted that I get to know more wives from other families. Hey, it's just these women who only buy bags and clothes all day long, making my head ache!" Li Xue complained to me like a little girl.

I sighed in my heart, I could see that she was living a very happy life, that's why she was able to maintain her true temperament at this age.

She realized something again, and softly added: "Sorry, I didn't mean to say that your mother is bad."

"Pfft." I couldn't help laughing, "No need to apologize, because I agree with what you said."

After all, I was also deceived.

I drove Li Xue home.

When getting out of the car, she took off the jade bracelet on her hand and put it on my wrist.

"Aunt Li, what are you doing?" The quality of the bracelet was not cheap at first glance.

"Thank you for sending me back. This is a gift from Auntie." Li Xue said with a smile, "If you don't think I'm old, next time I'm bored by myself, I'll invite you to go shopping and eat."

After she finished speaking, she got out of the car and left.

At night, I just fell asleep when I received a call from Li Yunzhou: "Where are you?"

"At home, what's the matter?" I was so sleepy that I couldn't even open my eyes.

On the other end of the phone, Li Yunzhou said in a deep voice, "Come to the company now and hold an emergency meeting."?0?2
