Chapter 168
“Red is very good and festive.” Jamel Xiao said.
Lidya Su was speechless.
This red dress, obviously looks very tall, good or not. After being commented by Jamel Xiao, only the word jubilation was left.
This reminded her of the two fat dolls wearing red clothes on the poster during the New Year.
Forget it! Don’t care about these with straight men.
Lidya Su mumbled in his heart, and got into the car.
Qingfeng Manor is showing a rare lively scene at this moment.
One after another luxury cars drove over without money, and parked all five or six parking lots of the manor.
The waiters, they were so busy early on.
In order to cope with this large-scale banquet, the number of waiters and chefs alone is more than one hundred.
As masters, Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su’s arrival time is already early.
The banquet started at eight, and they arrived at six.
Unexpectedly, there are still many people who are earlier than them.
As soon as Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su appeared, everyone greeted them with smiles.
“Mr. Xiao, this is the first time you are preparing for a banquet. Is there anything important to announce?” a middle-aged man asked with a smile.
“Yes.” Jamel Xiao nodded solemnly: “My wife Lidya Su won the first prize in the final of the designer competition last night.”
Jamel Xiao said with a look of pride.
“Hahaha, congratulations, Mrs. Xiao.” Everyone congratulated Lidya Su.
Then he couldn’t help asking, “What else?”
“Outside?” Jamel Xiao frowned, “There is no outside.”
This banquet was held to celebrate Lidya’s winning the championship.
“Mr. Xiao, you are not authentic. At this time, you have to hide it.” Everyone said.
“Hidden?” Jamel Xiao said, “There is really nothing else.”
Everyone looked unbelief.
Someone smiled and said, “Yes, you can sell it, Mr. Xiao. We will continue to wait.”
What is he selling? Jamel Xiao raised his eyebrows. Just as he was about to speak, another group of guests came over, and then repeated the same conversation again.
“Depth of field, Lidya.” Taking a moment, Madam Xiao pulled Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su over.
“mom.”
“Depth of field.” Mrs. Xiao lowered her voice: “Can you tell me, what’s the big deal at night?”
Madam Xiao asked the same, Jamel Xiao couldn’t help being speechless.
He was thinking about how to convince everyone that this was really a simple celebration banquet. Lidya Su’s cell phone rang suddenly.
“Mom, let me answer the call.” Lidya Su smiled apologetically at Madam Xiao, and then walked away a bit.
“Lidya, it’s me.” The voice on the other end of the phone was very soft.
Lidya Su couldn’t help but stunned: “Yingying?”
This week, she was so busy, Su Yingying called her several times to ask her to eat, but she pushed them off.
For one thing, she is really busy. On the other hand, she also listened to Jamel Xiao’s words and wanted to keep some distance from her.
“Lidya, you won such an important thing as the designer competition, you don’t tell me.” Su Yingying’s voice sounded a little wronged; “Do you really hate me?”
Lidya Su had a headache when she heard Su Yingying’s tone. She couldn’t help but said: “No. This is just a small matter, there is nothing to say.”
“Mr. Xiao hosted such a grand banquet, how could it be a trivial matter?” Su Yingying said pitifully, “Lidya, I thought we were best friends, but, for such a big event, you even Don’t send me invitations.”
Lidya Su could only decline and said: “The invitations are all sent by the assistant. I have not asked about the specific list.”
“I knew it.” Su Yingying’s voice suddenly jumped up: “If Lidya asked, you would definitely invite me.”
“Yes, yes.” Lidya Su casually said.
“That’s great, I’m at the door now, and the guard won’t let me in, Lidya, you come and pick me up.” Su Yingying said immediately.
What? !
Lidya Su was stunned.
She just said kind words, but Su Yingying was already waiting at the door?
“Lidya, I will always wait for you.” Su Yingying said quickly, and hung up the phone.
Lidya Su could not help messing for a while.
People are already here, and it seems not so good to keep her waiting.
After all, Su Yingying just sent a text message to Jamel, and did not do anything heinous.
Lidya Su thought for a while, and went out to pick up Su Yingying.
A few minutes later, Lidya Su led Su Yingying into the hall.
“Yingying, I want to entertain guests, so feel free to do it yourself.” Lidya Su said.
After finally getting in, Su Yingying was unwilling to be dismissed like this. She hurriedly said with a smile: “Lidya, we are relatives. This Mrs. Xiao is your elder and my elder. This time, I should pay a visit first. Mrs. Xiao. Lest Mrs. Xiao think our Su family is rude.”
Lidya Su has not answered yet, Su Yingying has already walked in the direction of Madam Xiao and Jamel Xiao herself.
Lidya Su frowned and could only follow.
“Mrs. Xiao. Mr. Xiao.” Su Yingying said softly.
Madam Xiao was talking to Jamel Xiao when she was suddenly interrupted, and she couldn’t help but frown and looked over.
Su Yingying hurriedly said: “Hello, Mrs. Xiao, I am Lidya’s relative.”
Lidya Su rushed over and could only introduce: “Mom, this is Su Yingying, my cousin.”
Mrs. Xiao suddenly snorted: “People from the Su family…no wonder, just like you, I look so petty.”
Madam Xiao glanced at Su Yingying somewhat contemptuously, and then said: “I’ll go to greet the guests first.”
With that said, she turned and left without even giving Su Yingying a straight look.
Su Yingying looked at Madam Xiao’s back, but didn’t feel embarrassed. On the contrary, a thought flashed through her eyes.
Mrs. Xiao just clearly looked down on her, but she also looked down on Lidya Su secretly.
It seems that Lidya Su’s position in the Xiao family is not that great!
She has a chance!
Su Yingying’s eyes lit up involuntarily.
“Su Yingying?” Jamel Xiao looked at Su Yingying, but frowned slightly: “This time at the banquet, you should not receive the invitation.”
The guest list was arranged by the people below, but, except for Lan Yu’s staff, the people who came were all well-known people in Ningcheng. With such a nouveau riche like the Su family, it is not worthy to receive the invitation.
Lidya Su was about to speak.
Su Yingying rushed to say, “It was Lidya who brought me in personally.”
The meaning in the words seems to be Lidya Su invited her.
Lidya Su glanced at Su Yingying, but didn’t save her face: “Yingying has been waiting at the door, I thought, anyway, just one more person, so I brought her in.”
Jamel Xiao understood Lidya Su’s meaning, and the look in Su Yingying’s eyes suddenly became indifferent. He called a waiter and directly ordered: “The guest list has already been set. This Miss Su will be added temporarily. You can take her to the 165 table. This table is specially prepared and there should be a place. .”
“Okay.” The waiter responded and was about to take Su Yingying away.
“Wait a minute.” Su Yingying said unwillingly: “Mr. Xiao, Lidya, you are so busy to entertain guests, I can help, I…”
“No need. There are enough waiters at the banquet.”
Su Yingying is anxious: “The guests who are some important points always have the host to come out in person.”
the host?
What Su Yingying’s remarks meant was to regard herself as the master?
Chapter 169
Jamel Xiao’s brows suddenly wrinkled deeper.
Lidya Su’s face also looked a little ugly.
Su Yingying realized that she had said something wrong, and she quickly remedied: “I…I mean, I am Lidya’s cousin anyway.”
“Yeah, it’s just a cousin, and it’s a cousin who only reconnected with me in the last month.” Jamel Xiao looked at the waiter next to him lightly: “Lidya and I are busy, you take her Go to 165 tables.”
“Yes.” The waiter quickly agreed.
Su Yingying bit her lower lip, knowing that things can’t be reversed, so she could only leave behind unwillingly.
Lidya Su looked at Su Yingying’s back and couldn’t help sighing.
She didn’t think how Su Yingying was before, but after being reminded by Jamel Xiao, she took a closer look.
It is not difficult to find that she does have some thoughts on Jamel Xiao.
Lidya Su couldn’t help but glanced at Jamel Xiao: “Sure enough, it is the blue face.”
Jamel Xiao’s brows twitched, and then he couldn’t help twisting Lidya Su’s face: “If you know, keep a little distance from her!”
“I have kept a distance from her.” Lidya Su patted Jamel Xiao’s hand, cheeks bulgingly: “But she came to the door directly, and I am not ashamed to ignore her completely.”
“Next time, just leave it to me,” Jamel Xiao said.
“I know.” Lidya Su responded.
Afterwards, another guest came around, and the two of them greeted the guests first.
In a remote corner, Su Yingying looked at Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su, and bit her lower lip forcefully.
Jamel Xiao is truly unfeeling!
He said he was so rude to himself.
The identity of Xiao Huaer is really not important to him?
She would never believe it.
But what if she doesn’t believe it anymore? She could only sit in the corner, watching Lidya Su and Jamel Xiao together, accepting the attention of the audience!
Before, at the birthday banquet of Mr. Li, that was the case.
As a result, she worked so hard to calculate so much, and it was still like this.
Not reconciled, she really is not reconciled.
“Tsk tusk tusk, President Xiao treats his wife really well.” Someone next to him was talking.
“I also think that if you look at his eyes, you never left his wife!”
“I heard people say that Mr. Xiao’s prodigal son turned around, I still don’t believe it. Now I have a look…”
“I don’t know what kind of character this Mrs. Xiao is. Even a man like President Xiao is tied tightly by her.”
Everyone said they were happy, but Su Yingying’s face became more and more gloomy.
If there was no Lidya Su, the position of Mrs. Xiao belonged to her. The one who accepts the envy of everyone is her.
Su Yingying’s eyes faintly flashed fiercely.
But she quickly endured it.
Now, because of that text message, Lidya Su was a little guarded against her. She must calm down and look for opportunities slowly.
What’s more, she hadn’t displayed her true ability yet, Su Yingying found Madam Xiao from the crowd, her smile deepened.
If Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su can’t get through here, she still has a third way. That is Mrs. Xiao.
The banquet officially began.
At the forefront of the Thousand People Hall, there is a huge screen of more than 100 square meters on which Lidya Su’s works are played in a loop.
When Lidya Su saw it before, she felt ashamed.
But ashamed and ashamed, she was used to it.
Halfway through the dinner.
Jamel Xiao Lidya walked to the forefront.
The guests involuntarily put down their chopsticks.
The most critical moment has come. In such a big scene, Jamel Xiao should announce something very important.
With Lan Yu’s position, what Jamel Xiao made to announce so solemnly might affect the situation in Ningcheng as a whole, and they must listen carefully.
James couldn’t help putting down his chopsticks, and subconsciously looked at the person in front of the screen.
He didn’t care what news Jamel Xiao wanted to announce.
He just looked at Lidya Su’s face greedily.
After Father Li’s birthday banquet, he hasn’t seen Lidya Su for a long time. Seeing Lidya Su again at this moment, he felt a sense of a century apart in a trance.
Filia Chen couldn’t help but look a little ugly at James’s focused look.
She gritted her teeth tightly to control herself not to lose her temper.
The audience is quiet.
Jamel Xiao took the microphone.
“Thank you for coming to tonight’s banquet.” Jamel Xiao’s mouth had a faint smile: “It’s also an honor to be able to share with you, this is the most proud thing in my life.”
The meat show is here.
Next, Jamel Xiao must say something earth-shattering, everyone pricked their ears.
“Presumably everyone already knows about this.” Jamel Xiao looked at Lidya Su proudly, his eyes full of pride: “My wife, Lidya Su, in the designer competition that ended yesterday, Achieved a good result of first place. I am proud of him, and we Lanyu are also proud of her.”
Jamel Xiao’s self-proclaimed and boastful appearance made Lidya Su embarrassed to burrow into the ground.
However, she looked down for a long time and did not find the hole, so she could only smile awkwardly.
The audience thundered with applause.
They already knew the obvious reason.
Next, Jamel Xiao should be talking about the real big event.
Everyone is waiting.
“Okay, thank you again for participating in the dinner.” Jamel Xiao smiled and said: “Everyone will continue to watch the show and continue to eat.”
Then, Jamel Xiao took Lidya Su’s hand and returned to his seat calmly.
Everyone: “…”
Is this the end?
“This banquet… is it really just to celebrate Lidya Su’s victory?”
For a while, someone said in a daze.
“It looks like… yes.”
“I’m going!”
The Xiao family held a banquet for the first time in the past ten years, and it was also a grand banquet with thousands of people. This level, this scale, just to celebrate the first place in a competition?
Someone couldn’t help but looked at the side table: “Did you see that, the mayor is here! Presumably, he also thought that Lan Yu would make a big move, and the result…”
Everyone looked at the mayor, and then saw his twitching face.
It is estimated that the mayor is quite speechless in his heart.
Compared with the complicated mood of men.
The mood of the ladies is much simpler.
“Mr. Xiao is kind to her wife, right?”
“Husband, I won a women’s equestrian championship a few days ago. Take a look. Would you like to celebrate for me too?”
“People Jamel Xiao is not just willing to spend money. Look, so many people, except when they are talking to others, at other times, Jamel Xiao’s eyes are on his wife.”
“Hey, if you can do half of others, no, one-tenth. I will be so happy.”
At this moment, I don’t know how many women are envious of Lidya Su, and I don’t know how many men are so helpless by their own women.
Participating in a banquet, he just showed his affection.
Can this day pass?
Chapter 170
James’s thoughts were more complicated.
He hopes that Lidya Su can live well.
It can be seen that Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su are so affectionate, and there is an indescribable feeling in his heart.
Even if Lidya Su didn’t see him, James couldn’t help chasing her back.
“A Qing, it’s almost there, let’s go.” Filia Chen couldn’t help saying.
James temporarily retracted his gaze and said lightly, “Okay.”
The banquet had come to an end, Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su hurriedly sent the guests away.
When James and Filia Chen walked over, Lidya Su’s eyes flashed a little unexpectedly, and then quickly said with a smile: “Ms. Lu, Mrs. Lu. Go slowly.”
James looked at her steadily, her eyes were clear, without any other emotions.
Lidya… really put him down completely.
Filia Chen nodded impatiently, pulling James to leave.
James didn’t move. He looked at Lidya Su intently: “Lidya, are you happy?”
He could see that Jamel Xiao was very good to Lidya Su. The smile on Lidya Su’s face was also brilliant that he had never seen before.
But he still couldn’t help asking this question.
He didn’t even know what kind of answer he wanted to get.
Lidya Su was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Of course.”
She responded quickly, without a trace of reluctance in her words.
The light in James’s eyes dimmed involuntarily.
“That’s good, I’ll go first.” He smiled reluctantly, and left with Filia Chen.
Lidya Su watched James leave and was about to turn around.
Suddenly, Madam Xiao’s voice rang: “Lidya Su, what did you just say to James?”
“En?” Lidya Su was stunned for a moment; “I didn’t say anything, he is leaving, I’ll just send him off.”
“Just give him it? I think you have stood for a long time! It takes so long to give it away?” Mrs. Xiao’s voice was harsh: “Lidya Su, remember your identity, you are now, but Mrs. Xiao. Your previous love experience , It’s shameful at first, you don’t have to avoid touching James, so why can you talk to him?”
“I just told him a few words…” Lidya Su couldn’t help saying.
Mrs. Xiao’s voice became colder: “Two sentences are not enough? How many more words do you want to say? Lidya Su, you are Mrs. Xiao now, don’t be profane.”
Lidya Su was speechless.
What did she do to her, how can she be so profuse.
But she also knew that Mrs. Xiao’s character was like this. If she defended her, she would only make things more complicated.
Lidya Su couldn’t help but answer.
“Also!” Mrs. Xiao continued to scold, “Such a large-scale banquet is just to celebrate your winning of a designer contest? Lidya Su, Lidya Su, love is not your family business. You don’t feel bad, do you?”
Lidya Su was a bit wronged: “I don’t have…”
“I insisted on it.” Jamel Xiao walked over, his brows frowned slightly: “Mom, what did you tell Lidya about this for? I insisted on hosting the banquet. If you have any problems, you can talk to me.”
“I’m looking for you!” Mrs. Xiao’s expression was very dissatisfied: “You should have a degree of spoiling your wife. You are a bit too much today. It doesn’t matter if you faint, Lidya Su doesn’t know to persuade you I see it right, she is not a good helper.”
Madam Xiao held back her anger. She thought that Jamel Xiao had finally gotten around and understood how to communicate. As a result, his such a big handwriting is really to celebrate Lidya Su.
What is this?
Spoiled wife, is there such a pet?
“Mom, last month, Lidya and I also chose a set of jewelry for you. You seem to like it?” Jamel Xiao said suddenly.
Not knowing why Jamel Xiao suddenly changed the subject, Mrs. Xiao nodded, “It’s okay.”
“That set of jewelry is worth ten million yuan.” Jamel Xiao said meaningfully; “to organize a banquet, but you can’t even spend half of the jewelry. Mom, if I organize a banquet like this, it would be too much. Yes, is it more excessive to give such expensive jewelry?”
“You…” Madam Xiao was choked and could not speak.
Jamel Xiao’s purpose was not to embarrass Mrs. Xiao. At this moment, he couldn’t help but slow down his tone: “Mom, this banquet is on the surface to celebrate Lidya, but in fact, if you know the champion, Lan Yu won. Champion. Isn’t this also indirectly promoting Lanyu?”
“Okay, I know.” Madam Xiao reluctantly responded, “Isn’t it OK if I don’t say anything?”
Madam Xiao responded on the surface, still feeling uncomfortable in her heart.
Before, when Jamel Xiao and Lidya Su had a bad relationship, she was dissatisfied that Lidya Su could not control her husband.
But this time, the relationship between the two of them healed.
Madam Xiao found herself even more unhappy.
How could that Lidya Suhe De, why did Depth of Field treat her like this?
Is she worthy?
Madam Xiao walked to the door angrily.
Suddenly, a soft voice sounded behind her.
“aunt.”
Madam Xiao turned around and saw Su Yingying looking at her weakly.
Madam Xiao squinted her eyes and reacted immediately.
“Oh, it’s you.” Madam Xiao sneered: “What can you do if you are looking for me?”
Su Yingying bent her lips and said softly, “Auntie, I am here to apologize for Lidya. I just… saw Lidya Su talking to James. Hey, James is her ex-boyfriend, Xiao Xiao anyway. She… shouldn’t be so careless.”
Su Yingying said that, Madam Xiao couldn’t help but look better, she couldn’t help but said: “Aren’t you her cousin, why don’t you help her speak.”
Su Yingying said softly: “Because I am her cousin, I can’t watch her do something wrong. Moreover, your body is the most important thing. I see you are so angry, and I am really worried. If you are angry and cause any problems in your body, Lidya shouldn’t be absolutely wrong.”
Madam Xiao couldn’t help but glanced at Su Yingying, feeling a little satisfied: “You are quite good at talking!”
Before, she just said a few words about Lidya Su, Jamel Xiao hurriedly helped Lidya Su speak, Madam Xiao couldn’t help feeling a little uncomfortable. Now, this Su Yingying is Lidya Su’s relative over there, and she knew it was Lidya Su’s fault.
It can be seen that there are still reasonable people.
“I just told the truth.” Su Yingying said softly; “Auntie, I think your complexion is a bit uncomfortable, is it a little uncomfortable? Why, let me massage you for you. My craftsmanship is still good.”
Mrs. Xiao would look very pleasing to Su Yingying, she couldn’t help but said with a smile: “You are a guest, this is not so good.”
“Nothing is too good.” Su Yingying said hurriedly: “I am Lidya’s younger sister, Lidya is your junior, and I am also your junior. I take care of you as a matter of course. Please do not refuse.”
Madam Xiao looked at Su Yingying’s eyes and was immediately more satisfied.
“All right. I’m going back, you get in the car with me.” Madam Xiao said.
“Good.” Su Yingying responded with surprise.
