The night is coming soon, in order to keep in shape, the Xie family did not prepare dinner today.Xie Guanning had been busy all afternoon, and now his stomach was empty, so he could only drink two more glasses of water.

What Mrs. Xie prepared for him was an inconspicuous suit, which didn't look complicated and extremely low-key.Presumably, he didn't want him to show off at the banquet.

Xie Guanning didn't care, but he was afraid that it would not be his turn to be in the limelight.

Before leaving, when Xie Guanning went downstairs in a suit, Mrs. Xie and Xie Jiaran were both startled.

Xie Guanning has always disliked being restrained, so wearing such a close-fitting and neat suit at this time is a little uncomfortable, as if someone is tightly bound around the neck.He frowned slightly, stretched out his hand to straighten his neckline irritably, and then smoothed his sleeves. His long and narrow peach eyes drooped slightly. He noticed the gaze of the two people downstairs, and lifted the end of his eyes slightly, inexplicably bewitching:

"lady?"

It was obviously just the simplest style of suit, but it showed the boy's tall figure to the fullest.With short blond hair and that lazy and relaxed posture, he seemed to be someone's pampered young master.

Xie Jiaran choked for breath, and unconsciously tightened her hands on the hem of the high-definition skirt.

Mrs. Xie forced a smile, suppressed the darkness in her eyes, and said, "It's okay, let's go."

The banquet was scheduled for the evening, and when the Xie family arrived, the hall was already full of clothes and cups of wine.

One of the noble ladies was wearing a light blue dress, with a pleasant smile on her face and a gentle and elegant temperament. She was Mrs. Zhou, the mistress of the Zhou family.

Mrs. Xie brought her two children, and she was still a little cautious in every move, but she saw Mrs. Zhou, who was entertaining guests, glanced in their direction, said something to the people around her, and then walked over.

Mrs. Xie was taken aback, the status of the Xie family was not as high as that of the Zhou family, and Mrs. Zhou greeted her in person, she was unavoidably flattered, and immediately wanted to greet her with a smile.But seeing Mrs. Zhou with a gentle smile, her gaze directly passed her and fell behind:

"This is Guanning."

Madam Xie's smiling face froze.

"No wonder Hengyuan always mentions you to me." Mrs. Zhou looked him up and down, her smile deepened: "You are really good-looking."

Xie Guanning paused in his heart, looking at the lady with a gentle and harmless smile in front of him, he couldn't help but touch his teeth with the tip of his tongue.

Madam Xie values ​​face the most, but Madam Zhou greeted her directly past her. To Madam Xie, it was undoubtedly a naked slap in the face.

"Madam is ridiculous." Xie Guanning smiled softly, "But I was lucky to have a good skin, and it is far from Madam's outstanding temperament."

The smile on Mrs. Zhou's face was indiscernible.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and the eyes of the crowd also seemed to be focused on this area, looking at Xie Guanning with inexplicable excitement.

... Mrs. Zhou's appearance is not superior, not even delicate, but ordinary.It's just that he was born noble, developed an elegant temperament, coupled with the attire of jewelry, so that he can hardly fall behind in the upper circle full of beauties.

But love of beauty is the root of Alpha's bad nature. Patriarch Zhou was also a scumbag when he was young. Now that he is getting older, although he is a little restrained, he still remembers to save face for Mrs. Zhou, but there are still beautiful little lovers on the outside. .Mrs. Zhou was annoyed, she had quarreled and quarreled, but it was of no use, she hated those pretty little fairies.

Everyone glanced at Xie Guanning's pretty aggressive face, if not for the sincerity in his eyes, they would have thought it was a deliberate satire.

Mrs. Xie was able to come to the banquet, so she was naturally well-prepared. Hearing this, her heart skipped a beat. Looking at Mrs. Zhou's expression, she hurriedly stepped forward and changed the subject: "There is no proper way for children to do things. Mr. Zhou cares about his classmates, loves his classmates, and it is Xiaoning's blessing to be in the same class with him and to be taken care of."

Mrs. Xie kept her attitude extremely low, interpreting the relationship between the two as friendship between classmates.Mrs. Zhou looked at Xie Guanning, and then turned her eyes to Mrs. Xie, her smile returned to her usual gentleness: "We are all classmates, take care of each other, no matter whether you are lucky or not."

Mrs. Xie's complexion was a little slow, and before she had time to say anything, she heard Mrs. Zhou's tone of voice leisurely: "I think this child is very clever and can speak well, unlike Heng Yuan, who is so big and frizzy. Looking at it now , but followed Mrs. Xie."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, her expression was unadulterated: "Mrs. Xie is really good at raising children."

As soon as this statement came out, the audience fell silent, Madam Xie's expression was extremely ugly.

Xie Guanning narrowed his eyes slightly, and moved his fingers hanging by his side slightly.At this moment, a waiter stepped forward and whispered something in Mrs. Zhou's ear.

Mrs. Zhou's expression was slightly restrained, she glanced in a certain direction, then patted her head in frustration, and said with a sudden smile: "Look at me, the banquet is about to start, what are you talking about? It's a rare opportunity, since Guanning is here , just have fun, find the waiter if you have anything to do, don't be restrained."

She turned around and looked at the guests around her, with a generous smile: "I'm going to entertain the guests right now, everyone, have fun."

After she finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the center of the hall.Xie Guanning raised his eyelids, and sure enough, he saw a tall and handsome young man walking quickly, who was the protagonist of this banquet, Zhou Hengyuan.

The bustle ended, and the people around slowly dispersed.Some people who had nothing to do with the Xie family gathered around and whispered:

"Whose family did that child just now belong to? Why don't I seem to have seen it before?"

"It's not that you haven't seen it before. They didn't attend our parties at all in the past."

"Yo, such a big name?"

"What big name, it belongs to the Xie family!"

"Thank you? Is that... Xie Hongyun's Xie family?"

"Otherwise, could it be Marshal Xie's family?"

"It turned out to be his son. I remember that Xie Hongyun was quite capable back then, but it was a pity that he had a bad life and died early. The Xie family has been in the hands of his elder brother all these years, and he hasn't made a name for himself."

"What son, that's an illegitimate child!"

"What? Bastard?"

Everyone was shocked, their eyes fell on Xie Guanning involuntarily, and thinking about Mrs. Xie's face just now, how could they still not understand what happened?

"The Xie family hasn't had any contact with us these years, why did they invite them today? And they have an illegitimate child?"

"Didn't you listen to Mrs. Zhou's words just now? He is close to Young Master Zhou, and he looks good..."

The surrounding voices could not be heard clearly, Xie Guanning turned his eyes away, looked at Mrs. Xie's eyes that wished to tear him apart, and clicked his tongue inwardly.

There are many major families in the capital star, and the Xie family is only a second-rate family, far inferior to the Zhou family.Mrs. Zhou also expected this, and she was disgusting Mrs. Xie in her words.After all, Mrs. Xie has always regarded him as a thorn in her side, even if she is dissatisfied, she can only hold back, and only wait to go back and vent it on him.

It's really good calculation.

Xie Guanning curled his lips, only feeling irritable in his heart.

For Mrs. Zhou's unreasonableness, but also for herself.

Zhou Hengyuan went downstairs and saw the figure over there at a glance. He was startled for a moment, and then his eyes lit up immediately, and he was about to go quickly to find someone.Mrs. Zhou stopped him, and said with some resentment: "You stay here calmly, the banquet will start soon, what else do you want to do?"

Zhou Hengyuan glanced over there unwillingly: "Mom, I want to say hello to him."

"When can't you say hello? There are so many people watching!"

Zhou Hengyuan said: "What's wrong with people looking at it?" He looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, you didn't say anything to him just now, did you?"

Facing her son's suspicious gaze, Mrs. Zhou almost died of anger. She suppressed her patience and said, "What can I say? I just praised him for his good looks!"

Only then did Zhou Hengyuan feel relieved.

Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath: "The guests are already here, so stop messing around and let people see the joke."

Zhou Hengyuan didn't take it seriously, but he couldn't hold back his mother. She pushed him to the side, and he didn't forget to look back at Xie Guanning as he walked.

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she wanted to grit her teeth.

The banquet begins soon.

The so-called birthday party is just another social occasion.Mrs. Zhou dragged Zhou Hengyuan to the stage to deliver a speech. The guests below held elegant postures and held champagne to celebrate the eldest son of the Zhou family coming of age.After what happened just now, Madam Xie was unwilling to give up this excellent social occasion, even if she had a hard time getting on with her face, and led Xie Jiaran to wander freely among the crowd.Xie Guanning got some free time, huddled in the corner alone, looking at the small cakes in the food area, his eyes and stomach were hungry.

He ate a meal at noon today, and he is really hungry now.

Finally, the banquet officially began. Accompanied by elegant music, people were either dancing or talking and laughing.

As today's protagonist, Zhou Hengyuan had to follow Mrs. Zhou to toast around the venue.Xie Guanning didn't intend to look too much, just found a place to eat his little cake silently.

The atmosphere in the hall was brisk and lively. Xie Guanning wanted to just shrink back until the banquet was over, but suddenly heard his name:

"Why is Guan Ning there alone?"

Xie Guanning paused, looked up, and saw Mrs. Zhou not far away, followed by the ladies, smiling caringly: "But what's wrong with the hospitality?"

Xie Guanning half-closed his eyes, and slowly shook his head: "Madam, please take care, the waiter is very considerate."

Looking at the small cake in front of Xie Guanning, the ladies couldn't help lowering their eyes and smiling, hiding the emotions in their eyes well.

Only then did Mrs. Zhou breathe a sigh of relief: "In this case, why not come over and have a dance, young people should be so lively. It just so happens that today is also Heng Yuan's birthday. He must be happy to see you dancing."

Mrs. Xie wished that Xie Guanning didn't exist, so how could she find someone to teach him this kind of ballroom dancing?

The people around were smiling, but it was obvious that they were watching a good show.

This circle is more or less sensitive to illegitimate children.

Xie Guanjing looked at her quietly for a moment, then chuckled lightly: "You are right."

Madam Zhou's eyelids twitched, and she saw the young man standing up slowly. His tall and well-proportioned figure was wrapped in an ordinary black suit, which accentuated his slender waist and long legs.

He stood in the corner, with half of his body in the light and half in the dark, his beautiful peach eyes were slightly raised, but there was a compelling sharpness and vigor between his usual lazy brows.

He smiled softly:

"However, all I learn is the duet style. I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Zhou to come and dance with me?"

Mrs. Zhou's face darkened instantly.
