Chaoguang

Chapter 115
After returning from Tokyo, Sanada Ling nestled at home again, never leaving the gate.

Until she received an invitation letter and a phone call from Tokyo.

It's Shiina Watanabe, her birthday is coming, I sincerely invite her to attend her birthday party, the time is just around the corner, three days later, fortunately, there is still time.

"Auntie, I'm going out for a while, let the driver follow me."

Mrs. Sanada looked up, "Did you make an appointment with a friend?"

"No," Sanada Ling denied, "It's Watanabe. Her birthday is just two days away. She invited me to her house for a banquet, and I went to the mall to pick out a gift for her."

Mrs. Sanada: "Is the dress ready for that day?"

Banquets where invitations are issued solemnly are not small-scale, and more attention should be paid to clothing and attire, even if they are young.

Sanada Ling naturally understood this, "There are many new styles in the closet."

They're all new clothes from the first season, and the hang tags haven't been removed yet, so it shouldn't be a problem to find one that fits well.

Mrs. Sanada had a slight disapproval on her face, "Those clothes are for you to wear on weekdays, and they are too simple to wear to a banquet."

"It's okay, you can go out for a stroll, and leave the matter of the dress to me."

Sanada Ling has no objection, she is not very interested in these things, as long as she is not rude.

Just as Sanadaling opened her mouth to say something, she was pushed out by her aunt, "Go ahead, buy something for yourself besides choosing presents, don't be like your elder brother at such a young age, learn from your elder brother Jingshi, laughing Be more cheerful and lively."

Sanada Ling:
If she had been smiling all day long like Yukimura Seiichi, the curvature of the corners of her mouth would not have come down. It would take a day for her face to cramp.

When Sanada Ling was strolling on the street, he found an old handmade shop. Just by looking at the signboard on the door, it has been around for a few years.

She remembered that Watanabe seemed to have said that she herself liked puppets.

Push the door open, "Welcome, guest."

The waiter put his left hand on his abdomen and stretched his right hand forward, "Please come with me, what do you need?"

Sanada Ling looked around. The interior design of the house is also very old-fashioned. The air is filled with distant sandalwood. There are some storage shelves side by side in the room, all of which are made of logs. They are divided into grids of different sizes. Various carved artworks.

"Can you introduce me to some puppets that junior high school girls like?"

The waiter nodded, "Of course, please go this way, guest."

"The samples on this shelf should have what you need."

Sanada Ling scanned around and picked a girl in a kimono, kneeling on the carriage, surrounded by a hand-embroidered curtain.

"That's it, please wrap it up for me."

"OK, just a second."

Sanada Ling waited for about 10 minutes, and even drank a cup of tea, when the waiter came out holding a gift box.

The design of this box is quite creative. It is not a cardboard box, but is carved out of thin wood chips. It is very beautiful. Of course, when you check out, the zero after the comma is also very beautiful.

Sanadaling went out, handed the gift to the driver to put it away, and went to a jewelry store by herself to buy a bracelet strap. After all, it is a bit strange to wear a mechanical watch when wearing a dress.

After turning around, she came out again. She didn't buy anything, and there was nothing interesting. Those things were all the same, and they were forgotten after a glance. They were not unusual at all.

Sanada Ling simply went home, it's boring, it's better to watch TV at home if you are shopping around here.

Sanada Ling didn't see the dress until the day she went to the banquet. It was a white tutu skirt.

Waist style, the waist is stretched outwards, like a half-open flower, and the skirt is inlaid with rhinestones one by one. It is a very gorgeous skirt.

It's just that the beauty is beautiful, it's too thin, the arm sleeve is a layer of gauze.

Sanada Ling took the clothes under Mrs. Sanada's excited eyes, tossed about for more than an hour, and finally went out.

"Ling wants to have fun with her friends."

The time Sanada Ling arrived was neither too early nor too late, and Watanabe Shiina entertained her friends at the door.

At present, it seems that this friend is only her.

"Watanabe, happy birthday."

The little girl wore a powder-blue dress today, which was very beautiful. With her exquisite appearance and petite body, she was just like the doll in the window.

Watanabe Shiina smiled shyly, but her green pupils were full of light, "Thank you for coming, I am very happy."

"Ling, can I take it apart and have a look?"

Sanadaling passed the gift forward, "Of course, I specially picked it for you."

Watanabe Shiina opened the box and saw the wooden carved carriage inside.

Sanada Ling mentioned, "The curtain can be opened, there are still things inside."

Watanabe Shiina carefully lifted a corner of the curtain, and there was a girl in the carriage, kneeling upright in the center.

"Thank you Ling, I really like it."

Sanada Ling nodded slightly, as long as she likes it, if she gives someone a gift, it is considered a success if the person likes it.

"Ling, wait for me here. I'll put it back in the bedroom and come down immediately."

"Okay, you go."

"Sanada-san, good day."

Suddenly an extremely gorgeous voice came from the side, and Sanada Ling looked over, ah, acquaintance, "Senior Atobe, we meet again, good day."

Atobe Keigo looked at the girl who was less than half a meter away from him. She was wearing a white dress, with snowy skin and black hair, red lips and white teeth. Such a plain color was not dull at all on her body.

A broken diamond bracelet was worn on her slender wrist, and there was a slight blue light under the light, and a pair of silver high-heeled shoes were still on her feet.

Atobe Keigo thought to himself, it is worthwhile for him to come here early today.

Atobe and Watanabe have business contacts, and the friendship between the two is not bad, but this is not enough for him to turn down a day's study tasks and come here early. Usually, it is enough to be polite for the younger generation's birthday.

Today's encounter was because he knew that Watanabe Shiina had invited Sanada Ling, so he came here with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, he really made him wait.

"You are very beautiful today." Uncle Ben was very happy.

Sanada Ling smiled slightly, "Thank you, Atobe-senpai is also very handsome today."

Praise each other, don't worry, she understands the routine.

Sanada Ling looked inside, "Did Cirou come over today?"

"I don't know, maybe I wasn't invited."

Facing Sanada Ling's suspicious gaze, Atobe Keigo explained, "I am here today because of the friendship between the elders, so I came here. Maybe Jiro didn't come because they were not familiar with them. I didn't have much contact with Watanabe at school."

Oh, so, Sanada Ling nodded, understood.

Atobe Keigo took a serious look at her, did you really understand?What I mean is that I am not familiar with Watanabe at all, and I have no contact with him on weekdays. Do you understand?
Sanada Ling felt that people were still looking at her, so she nodded again, knowing that Jiro will not be here today.

Keigo Atobe tapped the corners of his eyes lightly with his fingertips. For some reason, he always felt something was wrong?
Huh?Sanada Ling's gaze narrowed slightly. Is this man who looks a little like Atobe Keigo a member of his family?Atobe Keigo followed her line of sight, and after seeing the person clearly, his sea-blue eyes sank slightly, and he said in a low voice, "People from the Atobe side branch family, my uncle went over to say hello."

"Oh, okay," Sanada Ling watched him walk over.

People from the Atobe side family?Well, it's really an indifferent title.

The man on the opposite side was a few years older than Keigo Atobe, but his appearance was much worse. His hair was not shiny enough, his eyes were not so blue, and his face was only a little bit similar.

After the two stood face to face, Sanada Ling realized that this person was not even as tall as Keigo Atobe.

It's just that Sanada Ling also saw the contempt in this person's eyes when their eyes intersected, oh, it was for her.

Sanada Ling didn't dodge in the slightest, she lifted her eyelids slightly, and glanced over it casually, cold and lifeless, as if she was looking at some garbage.

Where did someone come out and make eye contact with her?

Atobe Yosuke was taken aback by this sight, and he barely turned his head away, a gloomy light flashed across his eyes, but he still smiled, "Brother, why didn't you come here alone today?"

Atobe Keigo's eyes were slightly cold, "Don't call me such an unglamorous title, you are not qualified yet."

Even if this person is his cousin in name, but not a real brother, and the relationship is not known how far away, but he dares to call him brother, where is the qualification.

Atobe Yosuke smiled inclusively, as if he was helpless because of his younger brother's rudeness, he changed the topic, "Is that black-haired lady just now a classmate of Keigo? She is very beautiful, take a moment to introduce it to my brother." , The second half of the sentence was swallowed back abruptly by him, and the knuckles of the fingers holding the wine glass turned white, because he was frightened.

The false politeness on Atobe Keigo's face disappeared, replaced by endless gloom, and the sea-blue pupils were as sharp as condensed glaciers.

He didn't allow anyone to talk about Sanada Ling in such a teasing tone in front of him, no matter what the reason was.

"Yosuke Atobe, did you make up for the shortfall of the company under your name last month?"

"If the stipulated time is not met, the little power in your hand will be taken back."

Yosuke Atobe couldn't control his expression, his face was distorted for a while, looking even uglier.

A little right?To put it lightly, the position of the general manager of a listed company is nothing more than a little power in the eyes of the young master?
Perhaps it is true, who told him that he is only a side blood, no nobler than the main branch, and there is an ambitious younger brother in the family, they are here to earn some power, and they are not as good as the young master's father's fingers A trace of it was exposed.

Just like he made a mistake in the plan, which caused the company's funds to freeze. In order to make the company operate, he begged his grandpa to sue his grandma, borrowed all kinds of friends, bank loans, and sold the car and house. The young master's pocket money for half a year.

It's really enviable!Atobe Keigo!
They are also descendants of the Atobe family, why is there such a big gap, why can you live happily and happily!

Because your grandfather has only one son from your father, and your father has only one son from you, and your mother is from a family no less than the Atobe Zaibatsu. Everything you want is yours, you don't have to fight or grab it, and someone will take the initiative to deliver it to you.

So you are arrogant, self-willed, and lawless!
Atobe Yosuke endured and endured, a stiff smile appeared on his face, "What did Jingwu say, of course I have already solved it."

Atobe Keigo sneered mockingly, did he really think he didn't know anything?

After the national competition in the third year of junior high school, he began to get in touch with the company's affairs. After graduation, his father took him to the company to teach him personally. In addition to school courses and tennis, he also had to learn how to manage the company's business. For affairs, sometimes his father could not come back from abroad, so he would assign the most loyal confidant to teach him.

He knew the shitty thing Yosuke Atobe did from the very beginning, it was extremely stupid.

At this time, another person came over to say hello with a wine glass, Keigo Atobe turned and left without any sympathy, leaving Yosuke Atobe alone, embarrassed and embarrassing when he met the strange eyes of others.

Yosuke Atobe drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and when he handed the empty glass to the waiter, he whispered, "Start."

You can only be arrogant until today, after today, he wants to see what kind of face the young master still has to continue to be superior.

By the way, Yosuke Atobe walked into the corner and sent a text message, since you care so much about that black-haired lady, brother, I will give you a gift at the end, please don't be polite.

Sanada Ling, who was chatting with Shiina Watanabe, suddenly twitched her right eyelid. She reached out and touched the eyelid, oh, touched the eye shadow with one hand.

Watanabe Shiina raised her head in doubt, "What's the matter Ling, are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Sanada Ling shook her head, "No, probably someone is talking about me."

Watanabe Shiina froze for a moment, huh?
"It's alright, keep talking."

"Oh well."

Sanada Ling felt that her sixth sense was quite accurate, you see, didn't this bump into her?

Sanada Ling stared at the piece of her skirt that was wet with champagne inexplicably, because the skirt was too white, even the light yellow champagne left a pool of obvious stains on the skirt.

With her skill, she can naturally dodge it, but she is not stupid, she can see clearly whether it is intentional or not.

There is no injustice or enmity, it's a bit unreasonable to come to such a sudden encounter, she really has a little interest in it.

The waiter's face was pale, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead due to nervousness, and he kept bending over to apologize.

Not a small movement naturally attracted the attention of the protagonist, Mrs. Watanabe came, followed by Watanabe Shiina.

"Ling? How are you? Are you alright?"

Sanadaling first greeted the elders, "Aunt Watanabe."

Then in reply to Watanabe Shiina's words, "I'm fine, I didn't pay attention when I was walking, and accidentally bumped into someone."

The waiter was even more nervous when he saw the hostess coming, and apologized again and again, "Ma'am, yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

Mrs. Watanabe watched as more and more people noticed this place, and raised her hand to let him leave, "Okay, you go to the back kitchen first."

Then she turned her head and looked at Sanada Ling apologetically, this is her daughter's savior, so naturally she couldn't be treated normally, "Sanada-san, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I came all the way here, and your clothes were ruined. "

Sanada Ling shook her head, "Aunt Watanabe, it's also my fault, I bumped into it because I didn't pay attention."

"But," Sanada Ling lifted the wet skirt with her fingertips, "Aunt Watanabe, can I go and tidy up my clothes first?"

Mrs. Watanabe laughed, "Look at me, I'm busy talking. I'll have someone take you upstairs. There are spare dresses upstairs."

Shiina Watanabe: "Mom, let me take Ling up."

"Okay, you guys go up quickly."

Sanada Ling followed Shiiaki Watanabe to the second floor, and when she looked up, the most striking thing was the armor at the end of the corridor.

It's like the armor worn by the British Royal Cavalry in the Middle Ages on TV.

The dark gold armor, the helmet of the same color, only a gap around the eyes leaked, a western fencing sword hung on the waist, and the black cloak was wrapped around the neck of the armor.

Sanada Ling:
Seeing that Ling was not leaving, Watanabe Shiina followed her gaze and smiled a little embarrassedly, "Ling, did you scare me, this thing is my father's favorite, so I insist on putting it here, When I first bought it, I was scared several times."

Sanada Ling was silent for a moment, before boasting euphemistically, "Uncle's hobby is very novel."

"Yes, I also think that he always buys these weird things."

Sanada Ling glanced at the armor again, it was quite strange, after all normal people would not keep this thing at home.

After entering the changing room, the maid stood beside her holding a brand new skirt.

Sanada Ling glanced, "Watanabe, I'll just change here, you go down first, it's not good for the protagonist to disappear for too long."

"Ah? Ling, can you do it by yourself?"

"This sister is here to help, and I will be fine soon."

Watanabe Shiina nodded, "Okay then, I'll go down first, hurry up, I'll wait for you downstairs."

"Okay, you go."

Sanada Ling took the skirt from the maid's hand, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The maid smiled, "This is what I should do, Miss."

After Sanada Ling changed her clothes, she looked at the wine stains on her clothes, what a pity, this dress is so expensive.

"I changed, let's go down."

"Okay, miss, please follow me."

The high-heeled shoes on Sanada Ling's feet collided with the floor and made a crisp sound. The hall on the first floor was full of wine, and guests were coming and going.

Sanada Ling suddenly said, "Hey, this road doesn't seem to be the one I walked up."

The maid was startled by the sudden voice behind her, her body was slightly stiff, and she changed into a cautious smile when she turned around to answer, "The stairs are connected, and you can go downstairs by both ways."

"Is that right?"

The maid lowered her head, "Yes, Miss."

"Go ahead, I'm a little hungry."

The maid continued to walk forward, her body was close to the wall inside, and she assumed a cautious posture.

The corner of Sanada Ling's mouth raised an arc, yo.

When walking to a certain place, his feet slipped, his body tilted to one side, and he screamed, "Ah, it hurts so much!"

The maid hurriedly supported him, "Miss, are you alright?"

Sanada Ling had a look of pain on his face, "There is something wrong, my foot hurts so much, it seems to be sprained."

The maid opened the nearest door slightly, "Miss, please sit here for a while, I will call the doctor right away."

"Hiss, hurry up, I'm dying of pain."

"Yes, I'll go right away."
