This was the first time Kang Xiaoqiao had attended a gathering in this circle. She had been married for many years, but she had not been recognized by the Lu family before. Then, Lu Yichen had left for three years.
Kang Xiaoqiao, this lucky daughter-in-law who came from the countryside, was about to be forgotten. Who would have thought that the Lu family's New Year's Eve family banquet would push her to the center of the storm once again?
Everyone was very curious about such a girl who had such ups and downs. Of course, there were still some who looked down on her, but most of them were rational people.
Kang Xiaoqiao was no longer a nobody. Her position at the family banquet was a sign of her future status. No one dared to look down on her now.
Now that such a legendary figure had appeared at the wedding banquet, naturally, everyone wanted to see what was going on. Hence, there was a commotion at the entrance.
Towards everyone's enthusiasm, Kang Xiaoqiao unceremoniously accepted everything. She had long been used to being the center of attention. Therefore, although these people in front of her were all kinds of big shots, they were only human beings.
Kang Xiaoqiao replied with a sincere smile. The thick coat she was wearing today had already been handed over to the waiters when she entered the hotel.
Now, she was wearing a well-made and exquisite material. She was wearing a very appropriate and dignified but also sexy long dress. The dress was neat and the stitching was very exquisite. It had a sense of royal design. This was the latest design by her sister, Kang Daqiao. The name was also very nice, 'Royal Bejeweled'.
This dress was really dazzling. In addition to Kang Xiaoqiao's hot figure and beautiful face, it could be said that everyone who was working on their appearance, even the most beautiful bride, was not even half as beautiful as her.
Of course, even if she didn't wear this dress, everyone, including the bride, still couldn't be compared to her. Anyway, whatever she wore was the same, so she would choose the most eye-catching dress.
However, in order to show respect to the bride and not steal her limelight, Kang Xiaoqiao didn't wear any accessories. Moreover, she only put on light makeup. It was refreshing and she really looked like a fairy.
This dress was just received by Kang Xiaoqiao, but she didn't think of wearing it. Now that she thought about it, the name of this dress was very appropriate for both her and Kang Daqiao.
When Zhen Aiyin walked closer, she saw this scene. Everyone surrounded Kang Xiaoqiao and Lu Yichen, asking questions. The man praised Lu Yichen, saying that he was a young hero, like father, like son.
The women all praised Kang Xiaoqiao for her gentleness and beauty, saying that she was a talented girl. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled very naturally and harmoniously, praising her back.
"You must be joking. Aunt, you are the model of a gentle lady. Let's not talk about anything else, just look at this sister beside you."
When people heard this, they laughed out loud and praised Kang Xiaoqiao for her sweet words. Meanwhile, Zhen Aiyin's eyes were almost red. At this moment, someone saw her and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Miao, why are you here? Come, let me introduce you. This is Lu Shouz's eldest daughter-in-law, Kang Xiaoqiao. You know her."
"I've only heard about her from others in the past. This is the first time I've seen her in person."
Then, she pulled Zhen Aiyin over and said to Kang Xiaoqiao, "Xiaoqiao, this is today's mother-in-law, Miao Shouz's lover. Zhen Aiyin, you have to call her Auntie Zhen."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at the black-faced Zhen Aiyin and smiled sweetly. "Hello, aunt Zhen. This is a small token of my appreciation."
"I wish you a big, fat grandson soon--"
After saying that, she handed the red envelope over, and the people around burst into laughter.
Zhen Aiyin took the red envelope with a stiff hand and said with a stiff smile, "Thank you."
"Since you're here, go sit in the lobby. It's cold at the door."
As soon as she said that, Lu Yichen walked over and whispered a few words into Kang Xiaoqiao's ear. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and nodded, "Okay, you go. I can take care of myself. I still have Aunt Zhen."
Lu Yichen looked up at Zhen Aiyin and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Aunt Zhen to take care of you."
After Lu Yichen left, Kang Xiaoqiao followed everyone into the lobby. Zhen Aiyin walked to Kang Xiaoqiao's side. When she got close enough, when only the two of them could hear her voice, she said, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come?"
Her tone was very bad, and Kang Xiaoqiao had a smile on her face. No one could see her cold face. Her voice was also not good as she said, "If I don't come, when do you plan to fulfill your promise?"
Zhen Aiyin's face changed. "Didn't I tell you to wait? Why are you in a hurry?"
Kang Xiaoqiao said lightly, "I'm not in a hurry. You can take your time."
As soon as she said this, Zhen Aiyin's face turned red with anger. What did she mean by she was not in a hurry? Why was she not in a hurry to come here? Was she in a hurry to see her?
Zhen Aiyin was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. How did she give birth to such a sharp-tongued daughter? She had suffered a lot in the past three years.
At the beginning, she still had some kinship and guilt. Now that three years had passed, there was nothing left. She just wanted to ask her for help as soon as possible.
However, she had never thought that the person she wanted to ask for help would never want to get close to her. Moreover, with the current situation, it was hard to say who would get rid of whom.
Zhen Aiyin still hadn't seen the situation clearly. Kang Xiaoqiao wasn't the poor wretch who was despised by her in-laws three years ago. She had no status and no status.
Just as the two of them were whispering, an angry female voice ran in front of them. She looked at Kang Xiaoqiao as if she had seen a ghost. Her expression changed and she was about to speak loudly. Zhen Aiyin, who was quick-witted, grabbed her.
Before she could react, she quickly said, "Nianjie, come here. Let me introduce you. This is our Lu Shouz family's eldest daughter-in-law, Kang Xiaoqiao."
"You are of the same age. If you don't move around, you have to treat her well."
Although she said that, she used a lot of strength. Then, she whispered in her ear and threatened, "Third girl, behave yourself. This is your brother's wedding banquet. Don't mess things up."
"If you have any grudges, you have to wait until the wedding banquet is over. Otherwise, your grandmother won't be able to protect you. This is the face of our Miao family."
Miao Niandi's small face was full of anger. Her eyes seemed to be about to shoot out. In the end, she forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and said unnaturally, "I know."
Kang Xiaoqiao did not take it seriously at all. She smiled and said, "Aiya, this must be the third sister of the Miao family. I heard that the Miao family has three golden flowers. The rumors are true. Third Sister Miao is indeed a beauty."
If someone else had praised Miao Nianjie like this, she would have been extremely happy. However, who was the person in front of her? She had long decided that she was her illegitimate sister from a different mother.
Not only was an illegitimate daughter prettier than her, but she was also praising her for her good looks. It was simply unbearable.
