Chapter 123: Together
"Kyoto Qiao's Group Qiaozi Tong Gongzi has arrived!"
Xiang Chaodong was figuring out everyone's intentions when someone shouted at the entrance of the hall. This is a special rule set up to the east at today's banquet, if some famous family members from the outer city come to celebrate, they must be notified of their names as soon as possible, so as to show respect for them from the outer city, and secondly, they will also appear to have face.
Qiao's Group is also a well-known big family in Kyoto City, and it also has some business dealings with Xiang's, in fact, Xiang Chaodong knows that the reason why Qiao's family came to celebrate today is mainly because Qiao's Shaodong Qiao Zitong and his daughter Xiang Wenxiang have a good relationship with classmates during their study abroad.
Compared with the Zhao family, the Sun family and several other big families with bad intentions today, this Qiao family should be an ally family, and at the moment, Xiang Xiang smiled at Qiao Zitong from a distance to the east, and Xiang Wendi hurriedly greeted him.
If it was Qiao Zitong's father, the ruler of the Qiao family, who came, he came from afar to celebrate, Xiang Chaodong naturally had to greet him in person, but Qiao Zitong was a generation lower than himself, no matter how big he was, he didn't make Xiang Chaodong feel that he should greet him personally.
"Wen makeup, happy life, today I will give you a gift that will surprise you." Qiao Zitong didn't notice the melancholy between Xiang Wen's eyebrows, but said hello to Youyou.
If he only relied on his classmate relationship with Xiang Wenxiang, Qiao Zitong would not have traveled all the way from Kyoto to Jinghua to celebrate Xiang Wen's birthday, he came this time with the family's mission, this mission is that their Qiao family wants to marry with the Xiang family, as the only male of their generation in the Qiao family, this mission naturally falls on him.
He is also willing to take on this mission, because he and Xiang Wenxiang have been classmates abroad for three years, and they have long been in love with her, and they have already taken action before, but unfortunately Xiang Wenxiang is unmoved. But this time is different, this time there is a family behind the back, and today I also specially brought a stunning gift, I believe that not only can move Xiang Wen's makeup, but also move to the east.
"Zitong, thank you for coming to my birthday banquet." However, Qiao Zitong's arrival did not make Xiang Wen makeup any surprise, not even a trace of expression fluctuations, and what Qiao Zitong said about the amazing gift did not make her have any sense of expectation, she lost the only souvenir left by her mother to herself, and now except for the jade pendant, there is nothing to make her feel surprised, just said lightly: "Zitong, you go sit over there with my brother first." β
Xiang Wen's bland reaction made Qiao Zitong disappointed for a while, and followed Xiang Wendi with a depressed expression, but he stared at Xiang Wenxiang with three turns, and he didn't know why she was so cold today.
"The Mu family in the capital, Mu Qianshan has arrived!" At this time, someone shouted at the door again, and a well-dressed man of about fifty years old appeared at the entrance.
As soon as they heard that it was someone from the capital, everyone in the hall couldn't help but let out an "oh", and Xiang Chaodong, he also stood up a little unexpectedly and walked slowly towards the door.
Jingcheng is the capital city of Huaxia country, in Huaxia country, there are two cities well-known at home and abroad, one is the capital city of Beijing, and the other is the economic center of Jinghai City. There is a saying in Huaxia country: In the capital, don't compare with others as officials; In Jinghai, don't compare yourself to others to be rich.
Xiang Chaodong used to have a few businesses in the capital, so he had dealt with the Mu family a few times, he knew that although the Mu family's business in the capital was not very big, but a family with a very good background, although he sent an invitation to the Mu family this time, he didn't expect them to come, but he didn't expect the people of the Mu family to really appreciate their faces.
After Mu Qianshan congratulated Chaodong, he found a table and sat down, and the two followed, standing behind him, his face was an extremely arrogant expression, although in terms of property, he may not be more than anyone here, but he is from the capital, and has a very thick background, so he naturally behaves a little bit in front of these people.
Xiang Chaodong knew that the surnames of these people with deep backgrounds in the capital didn't care, and was about to say a few polite words to him, but at this time, he heard someone at the door report again: "Jingyun Miao family, Miao Qingshui Gongzi has arrived." β
"Jingyun Miao family?"
This report surprised Xiang Chaodong again, because although he had dealt with the Miao family a few times, he didn't have any friendship, and he didn't invite them Miao this time, why didn't the Miao family come uninvited?
Xiang Chaodong got up and walked towards the entrance, the reason why he greeted him in person was not only because of how powerful the Miao family was, but also because he had heard about Miao Qingshui's deeds, this young man was a leader among all young talents, and even several times stronger than his son Xiang Wendi. When their Miao family was in crisis, although this Miao Qingshui was young, he turned the tide, which was also admired by Xiang Dong.
It's just that this action made Qiao Zitong frown, also as a junior, this Miao Qingshui could be personally greeted by Xiang Chaodong, and just nodded to himself just now, which made Qiao Zitong unhappy.
"Hehe, Miao Xian's nephew came so far to celebrate the birth of the little girl, I am very happy." Xiang Chaodong said that he was happy, but he was still confused inside, and he didn't understand why their Miao family was not invited today.
"Hehe, I'm polite to my uncle, today is a great joy for my daughter's birthday, and I naturally want to join in the fun."
However, Miao Qingshui also said politely, but on the surface, he looked absent-minded, and after saying a polite word casually, he looked around, and after a while, he showed a look of disappointment, and muttered vigorously: "What about the master?" Why don't you see the master? Isn't he coming too? β
"Join in the fun?"
Miao Qingshui's words made Xiang Chaodong displeased, such a big scene was actually said to be fun, he now saw that Miao Qingshui was perfunctory, not sincere to celebrate, frowned, and thought: I have never had much friendship with the Miao family, and now the Zhao family has invited a lot of family members, it is estimated that they want to make trouble, this Miao Qingshui is also uninvited, is it also Zhao Weishan's old immortal invited to be a helper?
Thinking like this, Xiang Chaodong showed a cautious look, lost his enthusiasm, and left after chatting with Miao Qingshui casually.
"Hey, big beauty, we seem to have met last time, but I didn't expect you to be born today, I wish you a happy life - by the way, I heard that my master is also coming today, why didn't I see him?" As soon as Xiang Chaodong walked, Miao Qingshui looked at Xiang Wen and said with a smile.
Xiang Chaodong guessed correctly, Miao Qingshui did not come to congratulate sincerely. Last time, he hurriedly returned to Jingyun because of something at home, and he didn't ask Xingyun for advice, this time he finally took some time to hurry up to find the master, originally planned to kill Xingyun's house directly, but he didn't know that on the way, he heard some people from the Xiang family say that it was their eldest lady today, and Xingyun was also invited to participate.
In this way, Miao Qingshui was afraid that he would go to Xingyun's house and pounce on him, so he came directly to the banquet site, who knew that Xingyun was not there, so he asked Xiang Wen about makeup.
Xiang Wen also wondered about Miao Qingshui's intention, because he had only met him once, and he had no reason to participate in his own birthday banquet, but when he heard Miao Qingshui ask, he dared to come to find him a master. How did he find this place when he looked for his master? Hey, isn't his master Nebula?
Thinking of this, Xiang Wen was stunned, because she had made it clear to her father that it was up to her to invite Xingyun or not, and the fact was that her father did invite him. It's just that now Xiang Wen makeup has a little incomprehensible feeling about Xingyun, the last time he asked him to stop him from attending his banquet, he actually said that it was not up to others to decide whether he came or not, it depended on his mood.
"Well, I really don't know if he's coming, or you just wait for him first." So far, I haven't seen the shadow of Xingyun, and Xiang Wenxiang doesn't know if he will come or not, so he can't give Miao Qingshui an accurate answer.
"Well, that's all there is to it." Miao Qingshui was helpless, walked to the hall and found a table closest to the entrance and sat down, and the two Suicong behind him also followed helplessly.
They were originally in front of the head of the Miao family, accompanied the eldest young master to Jinghua to find someone, and immediately after finding someone, they took the eldest young master back, who knew that as soon as the eldest young master arrived in Jinghua, he was not in a hurry to find someone, but suddenly said that he wanted to attend a banquet, which made them depressed. But I'm used to it, this young master has always acted unexpectedly.
At this time, the banquet is about to officially begin, and most of the people who are going to come are coming. Xiang Wenxiang no longer stood by the door to greet guests, but chatted with a few girlfriends with good relationships, classmates or something, when they knew that Xiang Wenxiang was kidnapped and was actually rescued by a person who was also kidnapped, everyone showed a yearning look, because this kind of person is obviously that kind of hero in their hearts.
At this time, Xiang Chaodong saw that the banquet was about to officially begin, but he showed an anxious look and kept looking towards the entrance of the door. This surprised some of the heavyweight guests sitting at the same table with him, because they looked eastward, as if they were waiting for some important nobleman. It stands to reason that even high-ranking officials and nobles like the Mu family in the capital have arrived, is there anything more important?
When everyone was figuring it out, they suddenly saw Xiang Chaodong showing joy and excitement, and stood up violently and walked towards the entrance, probably because he was so excited, he even accidentally hooked his foot and overturned the seat.
Everyone also looked towards the entrance in confusion, because the action of facing east was obviously to welcome a very important person, and it might even be bigger than the Mu family in the capital.
However, when everyone saw the person, they couldn't help but be surprised, because they saw a man and a woman walking towards the door towards the east, the woman was also very beautiful, but the man couldn't see anything, everyone looked at the man's face, racked their brains, but they couldn't remember which big man he would be.
"Xingyun Xiaoyou, you are really here, haha, I have been waiting for you for a long time, for fear that you will not come, come and sit down, the banquet is about to officially begin." Xingyun saved his surname three times, and even saved his daughter's life, in Xiang Chaodong's eyes, it was obviously more important than any of the guests present today.
Xingyun originally planned to return the jade pendant to Xiang Wen and leave, but he didn't expect such a big scene today, let alone Xiang Chaodong to be so polite. If you leave immediately at this time, it will also make Xiang Chaodong lose face. After thinking about it, he changed his mind and walked towards the east with an "um" sound.
"Su Xingyunβ"
At this time, Xiang Wenxiang also walked over to this side, although she still didn't have a good impression of Xingyun, but she had figured it out in the past few days, after all, people had a great grace to save their lives, so they should always express it, so they said, "Thank you for saving me." β
Her girlfriends, friends and classmates, knowing that the Nebula in front of them was the one who saved Xiang Wen's makeup, couldn't help but stare at him with wide eyes.
Xingyun just said "um" and continued to walk with Xiang Chaodong without looking back, he didn't have a good impression of Xiang Wenxiang, he didn't want to talk to her more, plus he was mainly trying to save himself at that time, not to save her, and he didn't want to accept any thanks from her.
As for the jade pendant, Xingyun felt that it was not the right time to return it to her, so it was better to wait until the banquet was over.
"You-"
Xingyun's coldness made Xiang Wen stunned, she took the initiative to express her gratitude, this person in front of so many of her classmates and so many friends, but she didn't give herself any face, didn't pay attention to herself, stared at Xingyun's back with a little resentment, and stomped her feet aggrievedly.
Of course, Xingyun couldn't see this expression of hers, but it was seen by Qiao Zitong, who was sitting not far away. As a son-in-law, he has played with a lot of women, and he knows a little about women, but Xiang Wenxiang's resentful eyes when he looks at Xingyun make up make him feel bad.
Xiang Wen makeup and her classmates for three years, when did you have such a rich look at yourself? There is love and there is hate.
Not to mention the mission given to him by his family, it was his admiration for Xiang Wen makeup, which also made him regard Xingyun as a rival in love. When he looked at Xingyun again, there was a trace of ruthlessness on his very quiet face.
