The boss always wants to smack me

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

Cai Xiaotang looked at Father Mu's disappointed expression, but there was no ripple in his heart.

She was doing him a lot of face by being here today.

Cai Xiaotang was thinking about it when he suddenly felt someone pinch his fingers lightly.

She turned her head subconsciously, just in time to meet Li Xiao's helpless eyes.

Cai Xiaotang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously looked away with guilt.

tsk...

She has long been used to talking to the old man like this, and forgot that Li Xiao said that he would handle it...

Cai Xiaotang moved her fingers subconsciously, but someone pinched her fingertips again.

Li Xiao exerted some strength this time, as if warning him to be disobedient, he squeezed twice hard.

No pain, just a little itchy.

Cai Xiaotang suddenly felt that the two of them were secretly doing something terrible under the watchful eyes of the public, and couldn't help but burn their faces.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Liusu said: "Dad, you and Mom can go and entertain other guests first, and Xiaotang can leave it to me."

Cai Xiaotang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but unexpectedly, the next second, Mrs. Mu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"I thought Xiaotang would learn to be more stable after getting married. Looking at it now, why is she still in such an unruly manner? Shouldn't she be somewhat improved?"

Mrs. Mu's senior attitude is full, but she can't hide the disgust and sarcasm towards Cai Xiaotang in her tone.

Cai Xiaotang's expression was suffocated, and she almost subconsciously wanted to talk back.

His fingers were clenched tightly again.

As soon as the words on her lips stopped, she subconsciously looked at Li Xiao.

Immediately afterwards, he heard him smile calmly and say: "Mrs. Mu, rules are dead, but people are alive. What's more, our Li family doesn't have any rules for her to abide by. There is nothing wrong with being casual."

Mrs. Mu paused when she heard the words. After all, it was hard to say anything about Li Xiao, so she forced a smile and didn't say anything more.

Mu Liusu took the opportunity to take Li Xiao and Cai Xiaotang aside.

After walking a little farther, Cai Xiaotang complained angrily: "Brother, I just said I won't come, you insisted on me coming, look, I knew it would be like this..."

She was used to being bullied by Mrs. Mu since she was a child, and she would not say anything about his mother in front of Mu Liusu, but she always felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Not to mention the fact that there are so many directions looking at her, making her feel uncomfortable.

"After cutting the cake in a while, you can go. Today is just going through the motions to make Dad happy."

Mu Liusu frowned slightly, and glanced at Li Xiao.

Li Xiao understood instantly, and hurriedly coaxed: "It won't be too late. After a while, when people arrive, it should be time to cut the cake. Then if you want to go home or go to other places, I will accompany you. OK?"

"Um……"

Cai Xiaotang muffledly agreed and wanted to leave now.

Seeing that she agreed, Mu Liusu felt relieved, and said to Li Xiao, "I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, Li Xiao subconsciously looked at Cai Xiaotang.

Cai Xiaotang also realized that the two of them should be discussing the "secret" of the secret door, and immediately took the initiative to wink, "Don't worry about me, you two can talk about it if you have something to do, I'll just find a place to sit for a while and talk about it." OK."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to let go of the hand held by Li Xiao, turned around and walked towards the sofa not far away.

Li Xiao's palms were suddenly empty, but his figure did not move.

It wasn't until seeing her sitting on the sofa that Mu Liusu and Mu Liusu turned and left.

The two found an empty corner.

Mu Liusu leaned against the wall, and instead of talking about the secret door first, he asked, "You and Xiaotang... have a good relationship recently?"

"Why do you ask that?" Li Xiao immediately raised the corners of his lips when he heard this, and raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

Mu Liusu snorted softly: "You two, since you entered the door, your hands have never been separated."

"is it?"

Li Xiao squinted his eyes, recalled carefully for two seconds, and found that it seemed... that was indeed the case.

"cough……"

He coughed lightly, and made a serious face on purpose: "When did you become so gossip? Do you stare at others holding hands?"

Mu Liusu counterattacked calmly: "If it's not my sister you're holding, I don't bother to watch."

The two fell silent at the same time.

half an hour-

"Speak the truth."

Li Xiao was the first to break the calm, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

It's just that the fingers hanging by the side couldn't help moving.

His hand... seems to feel a little empty...

……

the other side--

Cai Xiaotang was sitting on the sofa alone, bored to death.

Too lazy to find out where the wine is, she took a glass of juice casually, looked at the crowd who were chatting in twos and threes not far ahead, and then glanced at Mrs. Mu and Father Mu inadvertently, with a faint sarcasm in her eyes.

That old man really puts on a show for himself... and even celebrates his birthday in the manor.

If it was in Mu's villa, she might be more interested.

Because of that, I can hide in my mother's room.

It just so happens that she hasn't been back for a long time...

Do you want to find some time to go back and have a look?

If you go...do you want to bring Li Xiao with you?

Cai Xiaotang thought about it, his expression suddenly became a little subtle, and his eyes couldn't help but wander around...

She looked around and didn't see the shadows of Li Xiao and Mu Liusu, but from the corner of her eye, she saw someone walking towards her.

"Third Madam Li."

A woman's voice came from far and near.

Only then did Cai Xiaotang look up, and found that it was Mrs. He who bid with her yesterday, accompanied by another well-dressed woman.

Cai Xiaotang got up, nodded at the other party faintly, and subconsciously took precautions in his heart.

This woman surnamed He took the initiative to find her, there must be nothing good!

Could it be because she didn't photograph her yesterday's necklace and wanted to find fault on purpose?

But Li Xiao said yesterday that she is neither short of money nor jewelry, so there is no need to be so fussy...

Cai Xiaotang was thinking about it, and sure enough, he heard the other party whisper: "Mrs. Li just got the jewelry yesterday, so why don't you take it?"

Although the other party deliberately controlled his tone, Cai Xiaotang could still hear a little bit of displeasure.

She was too lazy to talk to the other party, and replied directly with a smile: "Mrs. He was joking, isn't jewelry just for wearing?"

The voice just fell-

The woman next to Mrs. He suddenly smiled and answered.

"That's true, but the style of this set of diamonds is still suitable for an elegant and mature style and temperament. Mrs. Li is so young, she should wear a more pink color to look good. I saw a set of pink diamonds before, and they are very good. , although it is not expensive, but the shape is good, I heard that many young girls like it, after all...the best is not the most expensive, this thing, sometimes picks people."

The woman was smiling, but her words were not as friendly as her expression.

Cai Xiaotang raised his eyebrows, and let out a cold snort in his heart.

Ah.

She was right.

These two goods are really here to find fault!
