Cao Xiaolian laughed, "Then is it appropriate to stay and bring disaster to our people?"

"None of them are suitable." Shang Yin also snickered, "Of course, this kind of disaster is like throwing an alien planet, they might even want it back."

Ye Zichen merely made a joke, the atmosphere was getting better.

"Shang Yin." Cao Xiaolian suddenly became serious, "This is far beyond your capability. I think you shouldn't take action so easily, lest you get into trouble."

After he finished speaking, there was no reply for a long time.

She knew how Shang Yin felt about Tao Qing, but this was not something they could meddle in. Even Shang Yin, who had already ascended to the throne of the Empire in his previous life, couldn't interfere with this.

The people did not fight with the officials. This was a truth that had existed since ancient times.

Just as she was wondering if the other party had picked up the phone, a voice suddenly came in from the other end. "Alright, I understand."

Her voice was filled with helplessness and exhaustion.

"Actually, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to." Shang Yin smiled wryly, "I thought I was awesome just because I was able to reach a higher position." In fact, in the eyes of a true expert, we are all ants. It would not be difficult for us to crush one of them to death. "

She looked depressed, causing Cao Xiaolian to worry. "Shang Yin, you've done a good job. This is a grudge between Teacher Tao and the rest. You mustn't let that get you down. "

"Haha, don't worry." Shang Yin laughed loudly, "You don't understand me yet, it's just a short period of depression. After tonight, I will be that Shang Yin who can't be beaten again, the harder I get to fight." In the government, there is no hope for them in their lifetime. However, in the market, it is not certain who will be the main player. "

As he spoke, he returned to the usual high-spirited Shang Yin.

This was the queen she knew.

"Alright, actually, I'm a bit desperate now. However, it's strange. After talking to you for awhile, I feel a lot better." Shang Yin half-joked, "What if I can't leave you in the future?"

Cao Xiaolian was stunned. She knew Shang Yin's sexual orientation, and was at a loss as to how to answer him.

To be honest, she didn't reject homosexuality, but she herself was a straight girl.

Just as she was hesitating, Shang Yin chuckled, "You're joking, but it can be seen that you're also someone who values women more than friends."

She sighed in her heart. She didn't know when she had developed such a deep relationship with Cao Xiaoling.

Thinking back to their first meeting, it was like a dream. Back then, she had looked down on this village girl who was dressed in rags, but later on, she had truly admired her.

If not for her encouragement and words, perhaps she would still be painting and continuing to be a disciple without talent, but now, she had finally found her existence in the shopping mall.

She and Cao Xiaolian were not in a constant state. They were busy with their own things. However, whenever she had a project, she would discuss it with Cao Xiaoling. If he wasn't sure, he had to tell her. Even if he had problems with his emotions, he was willing to confide in her.

"Shang Yin."

A firm voice came over the phone, "No matter where or when, as long as you need me, I will always stand by your side!"

This was the best promise for a friend.

I don't need a day and a night, but if you need me, I'll be there.

Shang Yin's eyes were slightly watery, but his mouth curved into a pretty smile.

"Alright!"

In the blink of an eye, it was New Year.

Since the news about her mother and Grandpa Li had already been made public, Cao Xiaolian was thinking about when she would get married.

Cao Xiaoxia was a troublemaker. When she heard this, she started jumping up and down, saying that she was going to accompany Mother Cao to test out her wedding dress. After a while, she asked if she wanted to decorate her bridal chamber, leaving her at a loss whether to laugh or to cry.

"Sis, this is a major event of our mother's life. We can't be reluctant to spend money, we must do it in a proper manner."

Cao Xiaolian raised her eyelids, "Oh, then tell me, what do you think is proper?"

It was an outrageous cold at home, and it had been the coldest for the past few days. The two sisters had crawled into bed long ago, so they hid under the blankets to talk.

"Of course it's for the lanterns and decorations. I think everyone needs a car when they get married, and there are even flowers on it. The wedding dress, also give my mother a. Un, all the lovers in the village, please come and join in the liveliness. Those who do not have a good relationship with us, please come in and anger them. "

After he had finished speaking, he did not expect that not only did he not get a praise from his sister, he even had his head smashed into the ground.

"Did you turn stupid?" Cao Xiaolian looked like she was looking at an idiot as she held her sister's head, "You know, our mother is married for two years. Besides, you know what mother is like, you probably don't even want to get a marriage certificate, so people will say it out loud. If mother knows about this, she won't be able to leave in the future."

"What happened to the second marriage?" Cao Xiaoxia was not convinced, "Second marriage is also legal. Mom is not going to steal or rob, and it's not illegal."

"Sigh, what a fearsome saying." Cao Xiaolian sighed, "I was fine two years ago when I was told by my mom to go to school in Beijing, but she cared more than I did. After she heard I left, she didn't go out for a long time. Aunt Tian was there to accompany me."

"Mom, why do you care so much about the opinions of others?"

"Isn't that worrying?" Cao Xiaolian poked her sister, "Guess, if we tell her to get her marriage certificate, will she be scolded?"

"No way." Cao Xiaoxia opened her eyes wide, "You want to live together with me?"

Seeing that her sister's head was about to fall off again, Cao Xiaoxia covered her head and said, "Sis, I was wrong. If you have something to say, please say it. Don't keep attacking."

"How can you remember if you don't?" Cao Xiaolian sighed, "I really don't know what's wrong with school these days. It's scary for such a young child to know how to live together with his fiance."

"I'm already a university student."

"But you are only sixteen." Cao Xiaolian was expressionless as she pointed out the truth, "It seems like it's not good to go to school early."

The building was crooked.

The next day, the two sisters went to wash up with dark circles under their eyes.

"Sis." Cao Xiaoxia held her toothbrush in her mouth and said indistinctly, "Do you think it's okay if we don't tell Mom anything?"

"As long as you don't say anything big, I can guarantee that this matter will be arranged perfectly."

"Tsk, look down on others. See how I handle this matter."

Mother Cao felt that these few days, her daughters were abnormally busy.

The school opened on the seventeenth day of the first month and it was already the fourth day of the first month. However, the two daughters finished their breakfast in the morning and ran off after throwing down their chopsticks.

But no, that silly child called Huang Fang came again?

Mother Cao's worry was only for a few days. On the tenth day of the first month, she was pulled into the house by her two daughters in a mysterious manner.

"Mom." Cao Xiaolian said, "My former business friend, you know, now we are having an event. We are inviting a few elderly people to attend."

Mother Cao was taken aback. "You've been busy with this for the past few days?"

"Yeah, she helped me in the past, so it's rare for her to ask me about it this time. Mom, will you help me?"

"It's fine anyway. Go on."

The Cao family no longer had any relatives, so Aunt Tian left on the third day of the new year. Seeing that her mother had successfully taken the bait, Cao Xiaolian quickly took out a set of clothes from the closet.

"Mom, I have a rule that you have to wear red."

When Mother Cao saw it, she waved her hands and said, "No, no. This dress is too beautiful."

It turned out that Cao Xiaolian had taken out a red qipao embroidered with many peonies. It was very elegant and beautiful.

"That won't do, Mom. I've already agreed to it." Cao Xiaoliu slowly lured him away, "Besides, we'll be wearing our down jackets outside. We'll only take them off when the air conditioner comes in. Not many people will see it."

Mother Cao refused, but had to agree to the pincer attack from both sides. In the end, she could only agree to wear it.

The moment they changed their clothes, the two sisters' eyes lit up.

Mother Cao was already in her forties, but her figure was well preserved, with a protruding front and rear small waist. Cao Xiaoxia often performed, and her makeup was a small matter. Under her delicate hands, Mother Cao immediately changed her appearance.

What do you mean by becoming a living man? This is it!

Mother Cao, who was wearing a grey-blue outfit a moment ago, had undergone a miraculous transformation, having been reborn.

"Mom, you're too beautiful, I can't bear to …"

As he was speaking, he was kicked.

Cao Xiaoxia saw her sister baring her teeth at her, and realized that she had almost blurted it out.

"What are you unwilling to part with?" Mother Cao laughed.

"I can't bear to part with my mother." Cao Xiaoxia was struck by a sudden inspiration, "Sis, you have to remember to ask that friend of yours for some service fees!"

"It's just a favor, some service, you son of a bitch."

Cao Xiaoxia was relieved to see that her mother was not suspicious. What else could she do? She would never forgive herself, let alone her sister.

As soon as he left the house, the rental car of Cao Xiaoling was waiting for him.

The car was simple, with two small ribbons hanging in the rearview mirror.

"Yo, this car looks pretty good, like a bride."

Mother Cao joked, "Your friend has made such a big fuss and even sent a car over."

"That's right. Anyway, he's rich and willful."

The car drove down the wide asphalt road, and soon it was there.

When Mother Cao saw it, she was stunned. "This event will be held in the hotel?"

"Yeah, doesn't that match up to your identity?"

Cao Xiao Xia was really impressed by her sister's ability to spout nonsense.

Ignoring her little sister's silent big brother, Cao Xiaoling continued, "Mom, don't be anxious when you see more people. We're here to participate in the tournament together, so you can just walk over. Xiao Xia and I will wait backstage."

"Ah, where are you going?"

"They won't let anyone else wait on the stage. Just look at this; there's a red carpet. If you go directly over there, you'll see the stage. We'll be waiting there."

With that, he left.

Mother Cao was left alone, not knowing what to do as she faced the large wooden door in front of her.

Forget it, since she was here to help, she might as well just walk over and help her daughter.

Mother Cao reached out and pushed open the door.

When the door opened, she was stunned.

Inside, there were dozens of tables. The tables were filled with people, and there was a red carpet on the floor. At the very end, there was a stage.

The lights inside were dim, probably for the stage's effect.

Mother Cao gritted her teeth and walked over with her chest puffed up.

Only when they were halfway there did they feel that something was amiss.

She seemed to know a lot of the people sitting down!

The mother of the village was smiling at her, and the family who lived diagonally across from her was also smiling at her. The most suspicious thing was that the ones in front were actually Chen Lifen and Aunt Tian.

She already felt that something was wrong.

It was only when she saw Old Li, dressed in a suit and a tight suit, standing directly in front of her that she understood.
