Chapter Forty-Nine: A Victim of Business Cooperation
Manli's voice fell, and Qiao Xi's eyes unconsciously crossed a different color, but when his eyes fell on Manli's face, there seemed to be nothing abnormal on the other party's delicate little face, and there was no trace of wrong emotion in those good-looking eyes.
I don't know if Qiao Xi thought too much, but she seemed to feel the pertinence in Manli's sentence just now.
It seemed to have a hint of sarcasm, but when Qiao Xi turned her gaze to her face, everything seemed to be nothing more than her illusion.
Putting away her thoughts, Qiao Xi looked at Manli's face with her usual calmness, "It's okay, he has something to do, I'll go out for a walk by myself." ”
"Even if there's something, you shouldn't leave yourself here." Manli frowned as she spoke, her face really looked like she was fighting for her, "If I have time, I will definitely talk about him for you, after all, if you come by yourself, you are not familiar with the situation here, what if something happens." ”
Qiao Xi listened to Manli's words, there was no trace of fluctuation on her delicate little face, she just smiled and shook her head: "It's okay, I'll just come here by myself and sit here for a while." ”
"Manli, if you want me to say you'll leave her alone." Qiao Xi's voice fell, and instead of waiting for Manli to speak, a girl beside her directly interjected, "And Xiao Shao should have been yours originally, and I don't know what kind of fox tricks she used to get Xiao Shao's favor." ”
After the girl's words came out, several girls on the side also turned their eyes to Qiao Xi, and they simply didn't hide their dissatisfaction with Qiao Xi in their hearts, and said sarcastically: "That's it, it's really good to think that you are the eldest lady of the Qiao family?" I don't look at where I can compare to Sister Manli. ”
Qiao Xi listened to the words around her, and her delicate little face still had a gentle smile, as if the other party's sarcastic words had nothing to do with her.
Although there was a calm look on his face, there was a faint hint of anger in Qiao Xi's clear eyes, but it was well disguised.
Manli listened to the words around her, frowned slightly, and directly stopped the person who wanted to continue to speak, "Don't say it!" ”
Saying that, Manli glanced at Qiao Xi with a worried face, and then said apologetically: "Qiao Xi, you don't have to listen to their nonsense, I believe in Han Sheng's choice, since he chose you, he must have his own reason." ”
It's not that you like it, it's about choice, it's not about your intentions, it's about reasoning.
Hearing this, the smile on Qiao Xi's face stiffened slightly.
She is not willing to meddle in other people's feelings, but this matter is not led by her from beginning to end, all of this is Xiao Hansheng came to the door by herself, she doesn't know what Xiao Hansheng's purpose is, but if it is to let her bear the consequences of this behavior, she is definitely not a person who swallows her anger.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi did not open Manli in front of her again, but looked to the side to speak The girl looked at her, with a hint of coldness in her black and white eyes, but she just looked at her lightly, but the girl in front of her unconsciously took half a step back, and a trace of panic unconsciously crossed her eyes with pride.
"What do you see!? What you do is not allowed to be said by others?! The girl stared at Qiao Xi and said, "You are not as good as Sister Manli!" It's just that his family is better than Sister Manli! ”
Manli listened to the girl's words and said coldly: "Enough!" ”
It doesn't matter if it's a girl
Er's voice was still Manli's words, and the voice was not hidden, and the raised voice sounded directly in the entire venue, which also directly attracted the attention of the people around him.
Everyone was already curious, but now that the girl said this, they began to have speculations in their hearts, and the discussion also sounded together, endlessly.
"She is Xiao Hansheng's wife, and she is very good-looking."
"Qiao's, it's no wonder, after all, it's just a victim of business cooperation, right?"
"Victims? Marrying Xiao Shao, it's obviously Xiao Shao's sacrifice, okay? ”
"That's it, and Miss Manli is so good, and she is a childhood sweetheart with Xiao Shao, it's really a pity, it's all to blame on this woman."
“……”
Listening to the surrounding discussions, Qiao Xi didn't have much anger on his face, just lightly picked the tail of his eyes, the corners of his mouth brought a smile, and his clear eyes slowly looked in the direction of Manli.
Looking at each other at such a close distance, it seems that the emotions in the hearts of the two have become unobstructed.
Feeling Qiao Xi's gaze, Manli's gaze did not evade at all, but just looked at her lightly, with a trace of apology and worry in her eyes, as if she couldn't feel the exploration in Qiao Xi's sight.
"Qiao Xi, don't listen to them, you have to believe Han Sheng, he is a responsible person."
Qiao Xi listened to Manli's words, and finally couldn't help but speak: "So, you want to say that he is good to me now, but he is just responsible for me?" ”
Manli was stunned by Qiao Xi's words, and her delicate face had a hint of embarrassment, and before she could speak again, Qiao Xi had already opened her lips again.
"If that's the case, that's great." As he spoke, Qiao Xi raised a bright smile towards Manli in front of him.
Her words made Manli stunned, obviously she didn't expect Qiao Xi to suddenly say this.
It was as if she had accumulated strength, but what the other party gave her was a ball of cotton, and this feeling of powerlessness made her feel a palpitation in her chest.
Her face stiffened slightly, and Man Li removed the look in her eyes, and raised a decent smile towards Qiao Xi: "It's great that you can think like this." ”
"Of course." Qiao Xi smiled slightly, didn't say much, and simply took his gaze back, obviously unwilling to take care of the person in front of him.
If at first she only had some subtle feelings, now she can clearly determine that Manli is hostile to her!
She pressed her eyebrows with a headache, if she could, she really wanted to make it clear to the outside world, she really had nothing to do with Xiao Hansheng, it was clear and clear!
Manli looked at Qiao Xi's figure, her ink-colored eyes crossed a trace of fierceness, and then she looked directly at the girl who was talking next to her, sighed lightly and said, "Okay, let's go back." ”
"Go back?! Sister Manli, you are so kind to come over and give her a chance, she doesn't appreciate it like this, let's just forget it!? The girl yelled at Manli, with a look of disbelief on her face, "Sister Manli, how can you be bullied so blatantly!" ”
Qiao Xi listened to the girl's words, and the corners of her mouth also raised a sarcastic smile.
Bullying people, I really don't know who came to find the trouble first, who came to bully whom.
Thinking so, Qiao Xi didn't
There was an opening, but he just glanced at the girl lightly, with a trace of undisguised sarcasm on her delicate little face.
didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, Qiao Xi just looked at them and knew that these girls were nothing more than "little princesses" who were spoiled by the family, and now they are all Manli's little fan sisters, no matter what she says, it's not right, on the contrary, even if Manli farts, they have to think it's fragrant.
Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Qiao Xi no longer paid attention to the person in front of him, and turned around and left directly.
But when Qiao Xi just turned around, she only felt a huge noise suddenly sounded behind her, and when she turned around, the champagne tower behind her fell directly in her direction without warning!
The body slammed to the side, Qiao Xi barely avoided the fate of being hit directly, but in the end he was still affected, the skirt was already stained, and his arms and calves had also been cut by falling glass shards.
The wound overflowed with a little bit of blood, accompanied by champagne, and slipped off Qiao Xi's leg, and he was embarrassed for a while.
This time the sound also completely attracted the attention of the people in the banquet, and almost all of them had already gathered around.
The wound on his body was stimulated by alcohol with obvious stinging, Qiao Xi stood in place, his delicate little face had already cooled down, and his black and white eyes were full of undisguised anger.
The girl who was following Manli on the side looked at Qiao Xi, with a sarcastic smile on her face, and said directly: "Oh, why are you so careless, I know that you are here to attend the banquet, I don't know, I thought you were here to find trouble." ”
Listening to the girl's words, Qiao Xi's cold eyes turned towards the girl lightly, the deep and indifferent eyes seemed to be soaked in ice, just a simple look, but the girl shuddered unconsciously, and her heart was also inexplicable, and her eyes were unconsciously dyed with some jealousy.
Manli looked at the reaction of the girl next to her, a trace of disgust crossed her eyes without a trace, and then immediately made a worried look, walked quickly towards Qiao Xi, directly held Qiao Xi's arm, and said, "Qiao Xi, are you doing?" I'll take you to the wound first. ”
Qiao Xi listened to Manli's words, her cold eyes turned to her lightly, and then directly shook off Manli's hand.
Thrown away, Manli stumbled slightly, and then looked at Qiao Xi with a hint of puzzlement in her eyes: "Qiao Xi? ”
"Don't bother, it's just a little injury." Qiao Xi said, his eyes also looked towards the girl behind Manli, touching the other party's dodging eyes, Qiao Xi's heart crossed a touch, slowly spoke, and continued, "But I have to get an explanation for this matter." ”
Qiao Xi's voice was not small, completely enough for the people around him to hear it clearly.
After the girl behind Manli heard Qiao Xi's words, her body trembled unconsciously, and there was a little more worry and fear in her eyes when she looked at Qiao Xi.
"Qiao Xi, today is a rare banquet for the Xiao family, I know that this matter cannot be tolerated, but let's let the banquet continue first, after all, everyone is still here." Manli said lightly to Qiao Xi,
The voice was flat, but the meaning was obviously that he didn't want Qiao Xi's matter to delay everyone's time.
even said from the side that Qiao Xi didn't know the general situation.
The people around listened to Manli's words, and their thoughts were also taken away, and there was no trace of sympathy in Qiao Xi's eyes, only a piece of disdain and disgust remained. 2k reading web
