Quick travel system: The host is extremely powerful

The car whined through the gate of Xia Mansion and stopped in the spacious yard.

Xia Tanglin was dressed in a low-key manner. He took off his warlord uniform and put on a black mandarin jacket and a melon-head hat. He waved to Gu Jiuge who was sitting on the edge of the courtyard.

After getting in the car and closing the white curtains on both sides, Xia Tanglin said to Gu Jiuge: "What your mother did today was not her original intention. Don't blame her. Even if Qiao Nian comes back, you will still be my Xia family." His daughter, so don’t be so malicious towards Qiao Nian."

"I understand, father, what happened this morning was my fault. I was a little extreme. I will get along well with my sister in the future." Gu Jiuge lowered his eyebrows and did not look at Xia Tanglin, his tone was sincere and a little bit petty. Wronged.

4188: No way! The host is really careful!

Xia Tanglin nodded happily. Although he knew that Erya was not his biological child, a 20-year relationship could not be judged by blood ties alone.

The car drove through a bumpy stone road and finally entered the bustling and gentle cement avenue.

At this time, it is also considered as the evening rush hour, the flow of people is very large, and both sides of the road are full of pedestrians.

This road along the river can be regarded as one of the bustling areas in Shanghai. Not far away, there were sounds of dings and trams coming slowly.

The driver puts his left hand out of the window, stretches his forearm flat, and draws a clockwise circle with his hand in the air, using specific gestures to alert the driver behind him.

Gu Jiuge opened a corner of the curtain and looked at the scenery outside.

To be honest, this was the first time that she had actually experienced the turbulent Republic of China era. She had only seen it in documentaries and TV series before. After being immersed in it, she felt a little more worried.

The sellers walking around the streets, the masters carrying burdens selling fruits and vegetables, the intellectuals sitting on a wooden table in the street writing letters to others...

From time to time, one or two children's voices selling newspapers and shouting could be heard, which were soon drowned in the noisy environment.

Gu Jiuge closed the curtains, and Xia Tanglin asked: "But what new thing did you see that makes you so fascinated?"

"It feels like I haven't been back to China for so long. Everything feels so strange and familiar." Gu Jiuge sighed.

"Yes, great changes have really taken place here in the past two years since you have been away." Xia Tanglin also felt this for a moment, sighing and lamenting at the same time, making Gu Jiuge not sure whether he should do it or not. Answer the call.

The car stopped, and it seemed that it was somewhere.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door. Gu Jiuge followed Xia Tanglin and got out of the car.

It's not dark yet, and the three big characters MGM on the top of the dance hall are already flashing bright red lights.

There were a few small groups of people standing at the door, including ladies in "Shanghai-style cheongsam", modern girls in dresses, men in suits and ties, and middle-aged men in various mandarin jackets, chatting lightly.

A rickshaw pulled by a rickshaw driver passes by, stopping as it goes.

Hearing the movement here, they all turned their heads. One of the men, who was about the same age as Xia Tanglin, walked over with a smile on his face and said, "Old Xia, you are finally here."

While the two were chatting, Gu Jiuge took the opportunity to leave and walked into this dance hall, which was said to be the largest in Shanghai.

It does deserve the word "splendid", but there are not many people inside, because they are surrounded by Huo Yongchen, and those who came today are basically prominent figures in Shanghai.

The singers and dancers were preparing backstage, but they were not busy playing music, playing popular Western music.

Gu Jiuge found a table and sat down at random, and the waiter came to bring a fruit plate and drinks.

There were several gorgeously dressed women sitting on a table not far away. The moment they saw Gu Jiuge entering the door, his eyes never left her.

After Gu Jiuge sat firmly, he turned his head and looked at the people with an extremely cold expression.

Noble ladies like them basically know each other. Although they may not be able to hang out together, they will have enough social interactions.

They didn't like Xia Erya very much in the past and couldn't play together. Now that they have returned from studying abroad for two years, they don't like her even more.

Gu Jiuge knew that the rumors about the original protagonist's life experience in the original plot were spread by these young ladies. Maybe they did not feel that they had done anything wrong, let alone that the harm caused to others could not be eliminated.

"Hey, I heard from my father that a daughter of the Xia family seems to have returned, and it seems to be her biological child." Xue Yajing covered her mouth with one hand, tilted her head to the middle, and whispered.

"Yeah, this is really interesting. Don't tell me that there will be a story about a real and fake rich cat in exchange for the prince." Another person agreed with a teasing smile.

"........."

Gu Jiuge probably knew what they were talking about. She had no intention of making friends with these women, so she was being tolerant by not being against them.

She now needed to think about the dinner party and how she could exit gracefully after Huo Yongchen and Qiao Nian showed up.

Here, Qiao Nian was dragged to the barber shop by Shi Jinlan to have his hair permed in the most popular curly style, and put on an expensive dress. Shi Jinlan even hired someone to do makeup for Qiao Nian.

After being dressed up from head to toe, Qiao Nian's beauty became even brighter and more attractive.

Looking at her daughter who was like an exquisite doll, Shi Jinlan felt so fond of her that she kept shouting, "Beautiful, so beautiful!"

Qiao Nian was embarrassed to be praised by Shi Jinlan, so he smiled shyly, and felt warm in his heart when he looked at the arm held intimately by Shi Jinlan.

The car sent by Huo Yongchen was already waiting at the door. Shi Jinlan affectionately pulled Qiao Nian into the car.

"Nian'er, tell me how far you and that boy from the Huo family have developed."

Shi Jinlan looked at Qiao Nian with burning eyes. The two families had an engagement before, but the boy from the Huo family seemed to have no interest in Erya. Unexpectedly, by some strange combination of circumstances, things were back on track.

"Well~ we are very pure, mother, don't get me wrong." Qiao Nian's voice was a little more shy.

Shi Jinlan probably understood. She patted the back of Qiao Nian's hand and thought about how to persuade Gu Jiuge to give up the engagement.

It's not that she doesn't love Xia Erya as her daughter, it's just that after raising her for 20 years, she has never experienced the feeling of getting along with Qiao Nian from Xia Erya.

She thought that this might be the heart-to-heart connection between mother and daughter.

The car drove the two of them to the door of MGM. Huo Yongchen had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Huo Yongchen's eyes lit up when he saw Qiao Nian dressed up in his best clothes. In the past, he only thought that Qiao Nian was young and fresh and not as rustic as a country boy. Now it seems that Qiao Nian can also bear the words of "powerful country and beautiful city".

Huo Yongchen curled up an arm and put it on his waist, gesturing for Qiao Nian to take it.

Qiao Nian was awkward for a while before he reached out.

Shi Jinlan looked at it with a smile from behind, it was great!

Huo Yongchen took Qiao Nian directly to the second floor. At this time, the invitation staff had gathered in the lobby on the first floor.

Everyone was holding wine glasses in their hands, and their eyes were focused on the second floor. The conversation and music stopped abruptly.
