The Love of Passerby A

Chapter 518: A Survival Guide for Women in the Old Republic of China (57)

In the evening of the day of the dance, the Su brothers and sisters arrived at the gate of Cao's mansion with Song Chengjing in a luxury car.

At this time, night had fallen and the lights were turned on. The entire Cao Mansion was illuminated by bright lights, like a dream palace.

The Su siblings and Song Chengjing slowly walked into the ballroom and were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

The scene was decorated extremely luxuriously, with magnificent decorations, gorgeous crystal chandeliers and exquisite flower arrangements, all of which demonstrated the nobility and elegance of this ball.

Celebrities from all walks of life came in droves, and men and women in their best clothes walked around, chatting and laughing.

They arrived at the dance at just the right time, neither too early nor too late.

After all, the heroine of this dance, Xie Wanru, has not yet arrived.

It is worth mentioning that Cao Shixun did not wear a fashionable suit or a conservative gown like the other guests.

On the contrary, he was wearing a brand new military uniform with a small stand-up collar, looking heroic and imposing.

This unique dressing style immediately attracted everyone's attention and became one of the highlights of the event.

Su Xiangran's eyes involuntarily fell on Cao Shixun. After taking a closer look, she secretly exclaimed in her heart: "He really has a bit of the style of a warlord young commander."

Regardless of Cao Shixun's ability and character, at least his appearance is quite intimidating.

As one of the protagonists of this event, Cao Shixun certainly knew the purpose of today's dance. In addition, Su Xiangran had previously despised the gift he gave her, so his behavior after seeing Su Xiangran this time was different from his previous enthusiasm. Instead, he was a little indifferent.

It was probably just a habit, but when he saw Su Xiangran's "astonished" gaze on him, he still couldn't suppress the pride in his heart.

At this moment, Xie Wanru, wearing a gorgeous white dress, walked into the banquet hall arm in arm with her father Xie Zongyao.

Her beautiful appearance and unique temperament make her look particularly attractive.

All the ladies in the audience seemed to have heard the news, and no one wore the same dress as her - pure white.

Then Xie Wanru started to speak a few words of greeting in English. Cao Shixun was slightly stunned. He had studied English for a period of time, but he was not as fluent as her, and he might even have a little accent.

Cao Ce frowned slightly. This young lady from the Xie family looked quite nice, but why was she communicating in English at this time? Was this a test deliberately arranged by Xie Zongyao?

Thinking of this, he looked at the other party with an unfriendly look. To embarrass his son in such an occasion would mean that he looked down on himself!

Xie Zongyao was a little confused at the moment. Usually his daughter was very sensible, so what happened today?

The three of them looked at her unconsciously. Of course, this was obvious. Secretly, Wu Wenyue also hated this "future daughter-in-law" in her heart.

In fact, Xie Wanru's idea was very simple. She had heard before that Cao Shixun was studying at a military academy in Guangcheng, and he also attended a foreign church school since he was a child.

Under normal circumstances, there should be no problem in communicating simply in English. She wanted to use this to show that she was different from those traditional women, to raise her own value, and to let Cao Shixun see how excellent she was.

I just didn't expect to show off too much all of a sudden.

In the midst of the stalemate, Su Yanqing walked over and continued the simple conversation in English with a standard accent.

Su Xiangran frowned slightly. To be honest, she didn't like her brother having too much contact with Xie Wanru, especially in the current situation where he was obviously stealing Cao Shixun's limelight.

Cao Ce reacted quickly and immediately introduced his nephew Su Yanqing to everyone.

"My Yanqing is an excellent student in the medical school and will study abroad in the future," Cao Ce said proudly.

After hearing what he said, the people around him began to praise Su Yanqing for his youth and potential, as if the embarrassing scene just now had never happened.

Cao Shixun felt that his cousin had helped him, but Wu Wenyue was filled with hatred: Why was it that Cao Wanning's son was so outstanding!

At this time, the music started and the dance officially began.

Xie Wanru did not forget the purpose of coming to Cao's house. In addition, she had just embarrassed Cao Shixun. In order to ease the relationship between the two, she nodded slightly to him and took the initiative to invite Cao Shixun to dance with her.

Cao Shixun did not refuse, but glanced at where Su Xiangran was.

Su Xiangran was enjoying the delicious food that Song Chengjing brought for her, and was happily chatting with him and her brother Su Yanqing. She didn't notice that Cao Shixun had already started the opening dance with Xie Wanru.

Cao Shixun was somewhat disappointed about this, but he would not show these emotions on his face. After all, the engagement with Xie Wanru was a goal he had to accomplish tonight.

"Xiao Ran, do you want to dance?" Song Chengjing smiled and extended his hand to her, "Beautiful Miss Su, may I have the honor of dancing with Miss Su?"

Su Xiangran is only ten years old now and is about 1.45 meters tall, while Song Chengjing is already twenty years old and his height is over 1.80 meters.

When the two of them stood together, Su Xiangran probably didn't even reach Song Chengjing's chest.

This pair of dance partners is actually not suitable, but Song Chengjing doesn't mind at all. He pulls the girl he loves and walks to the dance floor.

This scene made Su Yanqing smile knowingly. He felt that his sister would probably have a good home.

It also makes someone who has to complete a task want to eat someone's flesh.
