Sophia, with Kate's help, put on the royal blue dress prepared by Michael. This skirt has a waisted fishtail design, with satin fabric inside, which is very soft against the skin. The outside draws on Chinese embroidery technology and is also decorated with small crystals of different sizes. Therefore, the lower half of the skirt shines like stars under the light, like the ocean under the moonlight. The waist is embellished with a string of pearl belts, which makes it more elegant and dignified at the same time. The design of the tube top with suspender sleeves fully highlights the advantages of Sophia's slender and white swan neck. Sophia had all her hair tied up, and the broken hair in front of her forehead was naturally combed with side bangs, which made her look both lively and dignified. For jewelry, Sophia chose relatively low-key pearl earrings and a small ordinary black crystal pendant. After all, it was her first time to attend a large dinner party of the Smith family, and she didn't want to be too conspicuous and cause unnecessary trouble to herself. Moreover, Sophia's family was originally at a disadvantage due to the marriage between the two families, so it was actually best to be a little transparent at the dinner. Finally, Sophia chose a pair of 7cm white high heels for herself, grabbed a black clutch bag and went out.
Michael is already waiting in the lobby. He is wearing a traditional British-style black suit with a double-breasted design, a satin collar and a dark blue ripple tie that matches Sophia's dress very well. If you look closely, you will find that the double-breasted buttons of the suit are also dark blue wooden buttons, which echo the embroidery design on the upper half of Sophia's skirt. The suit must be handmade, and the size is just right to highlight Michael's figure, making him look very slender and tall. Coupled with the fact that he always wears black glasses, at 186 centimeters tall, he really stands out in the crowd.
Michael looked back and saw Sophia walking slowly. He stood there until Sophia came and took his arm.
He's lost his mind! He raised his right hand into a fist and pretended to cough to hide his embarrassment.
Sophia noticed all this, but she didn't expose it. After all, she had to admit that when she walked towards Michael, she was attracted to him too.
"Let's go. Mr. Michael Smith." Sophia said in a slightly playful tone.
Michael didn't answer, but he started to move in step with Sophia's pace. The servants were so happy that they looked so good at each other, and they were enjoying themselves as they walked along the carpeted corridor in the hall.
"Oh my gosh, it was like a catwalk."
"Yeah, they both looked perfect together today."
After about two and a half hours' drive, Michael and Sophia arrived at the Smith family's huge manor house on Wealth Hill. This is a well-known affluent area, and each house occupies a very large area.
Rich people always value privacy!
The villa is surrounded by huge lawns, flower gardens and small forests in the front and rear. A small private golf course has been designed and built on the lawn, and there is a horse farm next to it. Not far away is a lake where you can boat and fish. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, this place can really be called wonderful and excellent treasured land, very suitable for life! Sophia didn't have time to take a closer look at the surrounding designs, because the many luxury cars parked around her made her realize that tonight's dinner was going to be a "tough battle". This was not a good time to appreciate the architecture and garden design.
"Have you read the documents I gave you last night?" Michael said calmly.
"Looked at it."
"Talk less. You understand." After saying this, he motioned to the butler to take out the gift.
"Of course," Sophia answered confidently, because she didn't want to cause trouble for herself even more than Michael did.
Today is Michael's grandma's 80th birthday, so in addition to the family's children and grandchildren, some important friends from the political and business circles will also come to celebrate her birthday. Looking at the bustling crowd, Sophia really wanted to escape. She didn't like such crowded social occasions in her heart. But there was no way. She was now the new wife of the second son of the Smith family. She couldn't lose her temper or embarrass the Wilson family. So, she took a deep breath and tried to force out a standard sweet smile, took Michael's arm, and followed his steps towards the villa.
This villa can be described as extremely luxurious. Different from the ancient and dark decorative style of the castle where Michael lives, everything here is splendid and the sense of luxury is very obvious. The walls and top of the first floor are all made in the style of Italian Renaissance murals. Famous paintings of the corresponding style are also framed and hung on the surrounding walls. The large crystal chandelier reflects the dazzling light.
As Michael and Sophia walked through the front hall, people around them would look at them sideways from time to time, and some would whisper, "Who is this?" "Why are you wearing glasses at night?" and the like. Sophia looked at Michael. He was still striding forward with an expressionless expression, as if he didn't care about those whispers.
Finally, we reached the main hall. Michael stopped at the table on the left with Sophia, and then motioned to the butler to send the gift to the special record office. Sophia understood that although the table had no name, in a family as large as Smith's, there must be strict hierarchical rules. Everyone is very clear about their position.
People around us are drinking and socializing actively. After all, this birthday party is full of well-known people, and it is very likely that you will meet new partners and reach new cooperation.
Suddenly, Sophia saw two familiar figures in the crowd - her stepmother, Ms. Diana, and her daughter, Max. Their positions are on the scattered table at the back. Originally, Sophia was still wondering why they were here, but Michael suddenly approached her and said, "Mrs. Smith invited them. After all, they are your biological family." Sophia gave a fake smile, but she was not grateful for this arrangement. Doesn't this disgust her? Ms. Diana was obviously very pleased with the occasion, chatting actively with those around her and introducing her daughter. After all, the connections in this venue today are much more valuable than those in other social venues they participate in! Max wore a dazzling red dress today, and her exquisite hair and makeup really attracted some people's curiosity and favor.
Sophia didn't look at Diana and Max much because she suddenly felt someone was watching her and had a bad premonition.
