After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2304: At the Gala
"The children have grown up and the three of them can play with one another. They don't need to accompany them all the ti. My grandfather is with them since they are so rarely at ho," Qiao i said.
The children were always either overseas or out of town and their ti in the capital was especially limited. Even though Qiao i stayed by the children's side every day, she also had to bring them out to visit various families.
According to Sister Feng, the three children's schedules were even more packed than their mother's schedule! Furthermore, the Xia family also wanted to start to nurture them, so it was useless for Qiao i to be with them during that ti. She already had Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang to protect the children and ensure their safety.
"Are you still going to Country M? Or perhaps other countries," Qian'e said.
"Why do you say that?" Qiao i asked curiously.
Qian'e stared at Qiao i for a long ti and sighed. She actually had her own selfish motives.
"I just feel that you will travel again. You won't stay in the capital forever. The main thing is that I also want to go overseas to take a look. To be honest, I've never even been out of the province before. I want to take a look at the outside world," Qian'e said.
"I'm here today to help you organize the work matters. We can go traveling and have so fun together," Qiao i said.
Qian'e finally found Qiao i's invitation card to the gala tonight. She handed it to Qiao i and said, "I'll try to squeeze so ti out for a holiday. However... Nan Dong is also going to the event tonight. Do you... want to bring a male companion along?"
Qiao i had never even thought about this issue. She did not really have any close male friends in this country. Even if there were, the people she knew would not go to an event like a gala. After thinking about it, she felt that Gao Long was probably the most suitable person.
"Yes, if you hadn't reminded , I would have forgotten about this," Qiao i said.
"Go ho and get changed. I can settle everything here. As for you! I bet you haven't even chosen a gown yet! You take so much ti every ti," Qian'e said disdainfully.
"Alright, alright! I'll go back now! Is there a dress code for the gala?" Qiao i asked.
"It's a masked event. The attendees at the charity gala tonight are all supposed to be anonymous. The organizer will hand out masks tonight," Qian'e said as she busied herself with work.
Qiao i nodded. She did not want to distract Qian'e anymore. She just needed to know that Nan Dong would also be at the event tonight. Now she needed to have a cara on standby so that she could secretly take a photo of Nan Dong for Yao Nian.
After prepping for the entire afternoon, Qiao i ended up dressing very simply. She only wore a navy blue evening gown with a string of pearls and took off all her other jewelry.
After Gao Long received Qiao i's call, he turned up outside her house on ti. It had been many years since he last attended a gala. During the ti when he was crippled, no wealthy family was willing to befriend the Gao family. Even if Gao Long accepted any invitation and turned up at any event, he would still be a laughing stock there. He would only end up embarrassing himself.
"Uncle, you look so handso all dressed up. Is it my elder cousin's handiwork?" Qiao i teased.
Gao Long said smugly, "Of course. I wear whatever she wants to wear."
"Let's go. It's a charity auction tonight. If there's anything you like, just bid for it. You can put it on my tab," Qiao i said generously.
"Then I won't stand on ceremony. Set a limit so that I know the maximum amount I can spend. I don't want to bankrupt you!" Gao Long said.
"Uncle, you can give it a try and see if I'll go bankrupt," Qiao i said confidently.
With the assets she owned in Country M, she might not have that much available capital there. However, there was no need to worry about such things back in this country. Even if anyone could really empty out Qiao i's family fortune, she could still sell the "divine dicine" at a high price. She would just organize an auction and sell it to the highest bidder.
Gao Long drove to the guild hall with Qiao i in tow. The mont Qiao i got out of the car, she imdiately attracted everyone's attention. Even though she was dressed simply, her beauty was still outstanding.
"Are you so popular in the capital?" Gao Long asked with a smile.
"It's also my first ti attending a gala. Perhaps... I'm just too well-known," Qiao i said.
A service staff from the gala ca over to Qiao i and Gao Long with a tray containing two masks. He said respectfully, "Madam, sir, these are your masks."
Qiao i picked up the silver mask with white feathers. When she coupled it with her outfit, she looked especially unapproachable. Gao Long smiled dotingly, picked up the rose gold mask and put it on. The service staff seed slightly surprised before he left quietly.
"Uncle, you don't bla for being willful?" Qiao i said.
"You can do whatever you want. After all, I'm spending your money today. To receive a favor is to sell one's liberty. I am aware that I should accord you so respect," Gao Long said.
The two of them took a look around before the service staff led them to their seats.
