Both Luo Qi and Xu Bingxin had ugly expressions on their faces.
The surrounding guests all pretended to drink and watch the scenery, but their attention was all on this side.
"The dishes that Miss Xi taught are just average, and he even told the child to crawl on the ground. Do you know how many times a day we wash Holly's tableware?" Luo Qi said coldly, her tone full of disdain."Raising a girl might not be able to raise her well."
Xu Bingxin did not like it when people said something that hurt others, but she disliked it when people heard Luo Qi's words.
When she thought about how Luo Qi had imprisoned her daughter for half a year, she felt even more uncomfortable."Gong Ou was raised by me, and now he is the CEO of the N.E. Where is your daughter and son?" Luo Qi said, but she suddenly thought of something, and spoke with a tone of hostility, "Let's not talk about your daughter, that son of yours is not someone who can stand up for himself."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Bingxin stood up angrily after hearing what she said, and asked while staring at Luo Qi."Mother!" Shi Xiaonian spoke as she walked towards Xu Bingxin. She reached out his hand to grab her arm and said, "Mother, please take a seat. The ball will begin soon."
Under the afterglow of the dusk, Xu Bingxin looked at his own daughter. She understood that she was in a difficult situation, so she did not make a sound, bent down, and sat down.
Luo Qi glanced at them indifferently, before her gaze landed on the Solanum nigrum within the baby carriage.
Seeing the Solanum nigrum, Luo Qi's gaze softened, she extended her hand out to pull the baby carriage over, and seeing that, Shi Xiaonian immediately held down the baby carriage.
This action was completely subconscious and did not go through her brain at all.It was an innate nurturing mentality.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Luo Qi, and Luo Qi also looked at her. Her eyes were somewhat cold, and she lowered her voice, "What, I can't even look at my own granddaughter now?""Of course."
Shi Xiaonian came back to reality and slowly released her hand.
Luo Qi did not do anything to them.
Luo Qi wanted to pull the baby carriage over, but Xu Bingxin, who was extremely close to the Solanum nigrum, pulled the baby carriage back. She reached out and carried the Solanum nigrum out of the car, her face full of love.
"…"
Luo Qi's expression was serene as she attempted to stand up. She reached out her hand and pressed down on her shoulders, making her seem intimate but secretly exerting strength for Luo Qi to sit.
The surrounding Guests looked at them, either intentionally or unintentionally.
"What do you want?" Luo Qi was pushed down onto the chair, a look of awkwardness flashing past her eyes.
This Shi Xiaonian was getting bolder and bolder.
Shi Xiaonian bent her body and smiled as she leaned her face close to her ear, appearing to be very intimate and harmonious, yet her mouth still said, "If you had sincerely come today to fix the problem with Gong Ou, I think he would be happy. But you bringing Mo Nuo over here has already displeased him once, I won't let him be unhappy twice."She wouldn't let anyone start a ruckus at this birthday party.
"Are you indicating that I am a wicked mother?"
Luo Qi asked coldly.
"Gong Ou is someone that we all want to protect. You want to strangle my heart in so many ways, why are you doing it today? Instead of doing all this, why don't you think of a way to cure Gong Ou's illness? " Shi Xiaonian said softly, his hand not light nor heavy as he placed it on her shoulder.
When had Luo Qi ever been suppressed to speak like this? Deep awkwardness immediately flashed past her face.
But very quickly, Luo Qi returned back to normal, following along with her, she looked at her and smiled: "Since it's like this, then we shouldn't miss a test."After saying that, Luo Qi's leg that was hidden under the noble woman's skirt fiercely stomped onto Shi Xiaonian's foot.
The pointed heel plunged into the sole of her foot.
"…"Shi Xiaonian's face instantly paled and she almost fell to the ground.
Guests in the courtyard didn't notice the scene that was hidden under the expensive skirt and stood around chatting.
Luo Qi sat on the chair and looked at Shi Xiaonian provocatively.
"Madam, I love Gong Ou more than myself."
Shi Xiaonian forced herself to endure the pain as she spoke each word from her lips.
"…"
Shi Xiaonian bent her body, her face extremely close to Luo Qi's.
Luo Qi looked at the perseverance in her eyes, saw that her lips were trembling from the pain he was enduring, and suddenly felt that what she had done was meaningless, it was even meant to be disrespectful to her.
It was as if at this moment, all the grace he possessed had vanished.
Luo Qi slowly retracted her leg, her face indifferent.Shi Xiaonian's feet had survived. She heaved a sigh of relief, but it looked like Mistress Gong and her mother would not be able to fight anymore. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Luo Qi's slightly low voice sounded out from beside her, "Holly is staying at the hotel. After the ball ends, find an excuse to go and take a look.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian looked at her in shock, and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
This was her son to begin with, but now she had to thank him for every single time she saw him.
"Don't call Gong Ou. With his personality, he knows that Holy is here and will definitely rob. He will definitely break off all ties with Gong Jia. When that happens, my husband will definitely get angry, and will no longer care about Gong Ou's sickness. " Luo Qi said in a low voice, so that Shi Xiaonian could only hear him.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "I understand, Madam."Shi Xiaonian left Luo Qi's side and stepped on Shi Xiaonian's back hard. It was so painful that it felt like she was walking on the edge of a blade.
She forced herself not to let anyone see what was happening.
Being a little further away from the crowd, Shi Xiaonian was in so much pain that she couldn't even reach the entrance of the castle. She could only look for a quiet place to stop and sit on the bench.
When the skirt was pulled apart, Shi Xiaonian saw that there was blood flowing out of the white leather shoes on her feet.The soles of his feet were bright red.
"Miss Xi, are you alright?"
An unfamiliar voice sounded.
Shi Xiaonian looked up and saw a young boy with brown hair and a tall nose standing not far away with a glass of red wine in his hand.
"Oh, I'm fine."
Shi Xiaonian's face was a little pale. His legs felt as if they were being pierced by needles, as if flesh and blood were clamoring.Luo Qi's stomp was too ruthless.
"Miss Xi, excuse me."
The young boy set his glass aside and walked over to her. He squatted down, took her feet up and took off her shoes without saying a word.
"No need." It was too late for Shi Xiaonian to stop her. The man looked at the wound on her foot and couldn't help but frown.
"No, I accidentally kicked something. "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine."
As Shi Xiaonian was about to pull back his foot, the man grabbed her foot. With her other hand, he took out a clean handkerchief from her pocket and wiped off the blood and dust on her foot, carefully wiping them off.When he touched the wound, Shi Xiaonian's body trembled in pain.
Luo Qi's heels were thin and sharp, like knives stabbing into her feet.
"This won't do. It needs to be disinfected and bandaged."The young boy squatted down in front of her and said.
"Really? Then I'll go bandage him, thank you."
Shi Xiaonian retracted her leg.
"Miss Xi, you can't move about randomly right now. The medicine I study in the school will make you a doctor in the future, so you better believe my words." The boy stood up and looked at her, then said seriously, "I'll go in and ask for the medicine box."
With that, the warm-hearted boy turned and ran. Shi Xiaonian couldn't even shout him out.
Shi Xiaonian looked down at her feet, causing her to frown in pain.
She lifted her foot and wiped the blood off it with her handkerchief. There was a sound of footsteps, and she slipped her foot into her shoe and looked up.
Feng De stood not far away and looked at her, "Miss Xi, the ball is about to begin, it will have to be started by you and the Young Master."
"Okay, I got it. You can go and invite Gong Ou. "
Dance.
How could she dance with her feet?
If he couldn't jump, he had to jump.After Shi Xiaonian sent Feng De away, he slowly stood up from the ground. The pain was excruciating, and she lowered his eyes to look at himself.
He couldn't tell.
Shi Xiaonian clenched her teeth and endured the pain, then walked towards the courtyard.As the sky darkened, all the lights in the courtyard lit up. The lights intertwined on the trees were like a tree of fire, gorgeous and dazzling. The lamps on the ground were like stars embedded into the night sky. It was an incomparably wonderful scene.
Everyone was waiting for the ball to begin.
Shi Xiaonian walked over, and as if nothing had happened, she started chatting with the other female guests, bringing his wine cup and clinking it with the others.The pain in her foot made her almost unable to stand.
She could feel the blood seeping out of her shoes. It's okay.
Shi Xiaonian tried her best to not let herself move too much, she just stood there and chatted with others.
"Miss Xi, so you're here."
A young boy with brown hair and a tall nose came out from the crowd, walking towards Shi Xiaonian enthusiastically. Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"I'm fine now, thank you for your concern."Seeing him, Shi Xiaonian immediately spoke out.
The light fell on the boy's face. It was filled with vitality and enthusiasm.
"No, I must check it. I've brought the box, let's go." the boy said.
"There's really no need."
Shi Xiaonian felt that all the gazes in her surroundings were focused on them, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do.The boy in front of him was too enthusiastic.
"Just once. Come, follow me!" The boy didn't have time for her to resist. He took her hand and led her away, his other hand pushing away the crowd beside him. "You guys give way, give way."
Shi Xiaonian paled from the pain. She did not even have the strength to resist and allowed him to drag him forward.
The crowd suddenly opened up a path for themselves.Shi Xiaonian looked forward in pain, to see that Gong Ou was walking towards him. He was wearing a suit that Feng De had personally sewn.
His legs were slender and straight, step by step, he firmly stepped on the lawn, the hand by his side slightly swayed as he walked, his handsome face had a tense expression, the thin lip's skin was so clean that it did not have a trace of blood, the light beam floated around him and dyed the corner of his eyes. He looked at her with a pair of ink-black eyes, his gaze gloomy to the extreme.
It was like a black hole.
The black hole that swallowed everything seemed as though whoever's line of sight stayed on his eye for one more second would be engulfed beyond redemption.
