You make money, I spend it, the rich stepmother is happy

On the day of the wedding banquet, Xiao Wang drove the two to their destination.

The address of the wedding banquet hotel is on the edge of the third ring road.

It happened to be near the old community where the Qi family used to live.

Xiao Wang drove the car directly into the underground parking garage.

Qi Mo and Sheng Mumu got out of the car and walked to the elevator hall side by side.

When they first entered the elevator, there were only the two of them. When the number on the elevator display jumped from -2 to g, the elevator door opened, and four people came in, talking and laughing.

Two women in their 50s, and a man and woman who looked like a couple.

Holding the man's arm, the young woman raised her chin slightly, stood next to the elevator button, and looked around with the corners of her eyes. When she saw Qi Mo and Sheng Mumu, she seemed to be surprised by their outstanding appearance and temperament, and her eyes lit up a little.

Then she looked up and down with unfriendly eyes, and when she saw that they didn't have the famous brand logo she was familiar with, she shook her head and chuckled silently, and slowly looked away.

The young woman felt that Qi Mo looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she saw her.

And when he saw that the two of them were not as luxuriously dressed as he was, he was inexplicably proud.

Oh, people, when you reach a certain age, you must have a few designer clothes and jewelry around you.

Otherwise, no matter how good-looking you are, it's useless.

She thought to herself, thankful once again that she chose the bag with the most obvious logo before going out.

Attending a wedding is a small comparison to Vanity Fair.

Let the relatives and friends who have hardly seen each other for 800 years know that she is doing well.

This is the main purpose of the wedding banquet.

Birds of a feather flock together.

The fat man next to her had a big belly, as if he was worried that others would not see the obvious "h" logo on his belt. Since entering the elevator, he had kept his hips on his hips, opened his suit jacket to one side, and stood with his stomach straight.

Just standing in front of Sheng Mumu.

Because of the entry of these four people, the not-so-large space inside the elevator became more cramped.

The fat man in front seemed to have ADHD, shaking his legs while standing.

Sheng Mumu couldn't help frowning, and took a small step back to distance herself from the fat man.

With her back pressed against Qi Mo's arm, she raised her eyes and took a look.

It was just an unintentional glance, but it made her stunned.

Qi Mo's face was terribly cold, his already cold jaw was tightened even more, the line of his lips was straightened, and he glanced at the fat man with displeasure.

Immediately afterwards, Sheng Mumu felt an arm around his waist and pulled it into his arms.

Qi Mo compressed the area where she was standing, which gave her a wider range of activities.

Sheng Mumu blinked, didn't think too much, and leaned towards him happily.

When she turned her head back and lowered her eyes, she bent her lips belatedly.

Thinking of Qi Mo's impatient look, he couldn't help but find it funny.

For a president like him, most of the places he usually goes have special elevators.

Now that I have to ride the same elevator with a stranger, I feel aggrieved.

The wedding banquet hall is on the eighth floor, and the elevator slowly ascends.

The other two middle-aged women kept chatting, regardless that this was a public place.

Sheng Mumu was forced to hear their chat.

"I heard that the bride is married from Yuncheng."

"Huh? Not a local?"

"[-]% are foreigners. I also heard that the wedding banquet held in Beijing this time, the woman's side only has three tables of relatives and friends."

The speaker shook his head with a click of his tongue, lowered his voice slightly, but still at a volume that could be heard by everyone in the elevator, and added:

"There are so few people here, I guess the woman's family didn't pay much attention to this married daughter."

Another woman answered with an exaggerated expression, "In this marriage, the man is strong and the woman is weak. That kid Liu Hui was just hired by a big company this year. I heard that his monthly salary can be [-]."

"Hey, so many."

"Isn't it?"

……

The elevator door opened with a "ding", and the gossip of the two people in front was not over yet, they walked out while talking.

Sheng Mumu didn't pay much attention to what he heard accidentally.

It wasn't until she stood in front of the "Marriott Hall" sign that she was stunned.

On the signboard in front of it, it is impressively written [Congratulations to "Liu Hui Fangting" on her wedding]

Unexpectedly, the protagonist of the gossip I heard just now in the elevator was actually the family to whom Uncle Fang's daughter was going to marry.

Sheng Mumu frowned slightly, thinking of the two women belittling Uncle Fang's daughter, she tugged at the corner of Qi Mo's clothes, and said angrily in a low voice:

"The man's relatives are so good."

Qi Mo couldn't see any joy or anger on his expression, he let out an "um" and led her into the banquet hall.

The family members who were responsible for the reception greeted them, and after reading their invitation letters, led them to sit down at the seat of the woman's family.

There was still a quarter of an hour before the wedding officially started, and the banquet hall was full of noise.

Sharing a table with them is the bride's colleague, talking in twos and threes, seeing them sit down, politely smiling and saying hello, and then continuing to chat with colleagues.

Sheng Mumu glanced around, his eyes fell on the next table, and he paused.

Coincidentally.

The table next door was exactly the four people they met on the elevator.

It was probably because the two women restrained themselves when there were many people.

From unscrupulous commentary to whispering.

Although he couldn't hear it, he could tell from his expression that he didn't say anything nice.

Sheng Mumu lazily looked away.

Out of sight is pure.

At this time, a couple of newlyweds walked out of the dressing room.

The bride is wearing a white satin wedding dress, holding the groom's arm, smiling and greeting the guests around.

The atmosphere was festive and warm.

Sheng Mumu's bad mood was swept away by the scene in front of him.

With her chin resting, a slight smile appeared on her face with light makeup, and she looked in the direction of the couple.

She has participated in many weddings and is always moved by similar scenes.

Whether it's the father of the bride handing his daughter's hand to the groom, or the bride and groom exchanging rings and saying their vows.

It always makes her, a person who pays special attention to the sense of ritual, feel her nose sour and faintly want to shed tears.

Qi Mo followed her gaze, a gleam of softness appeared in his sharp eyes, the corners of his lips rose slightly, his body leaned towards Sheng Mumu, and he asked in a low voice:

"Why are you laughing when someone else is married?"

Sheng Mumu glanced at him and said in a drawn-out tone, "You don't understand."

According to her observation, Qi Mo's life is almost two points and one line.

It's like following some invisible chart of rules and regulations.

I go to the company when I arrive, have almost no entertainment hobbies, eat only [-]% full, and exercise three times a week.

Self-discipline is outrageous.

Although he knows that self-discipline is a good habit and a must-have trait for most successful people, Sheng Mumu still feels that it shouldn't be so.

She believes that life should have a sense of ritual.

Accept sudden small changes and indulge small whims.

Look at the snow in winter and the sea in summer.

Spring outing, fall leaves in autumn.

Day after day, every day will be different.

So she felt that Qi Mo couldn't understand what she was moving.

Just thinking about it can become a witness of the most important moment in a couple's life.

Even if you are not familiar with it, you will be a little excited.

She is such a contradictory person.

Most of the time, he is hard-hearted, and will amplify his emotions on things that most people don't feel.
