Chapter 352: Meet Caroline
With the appearance of Qiao Xi, the scene, which was full of discussions just now, also fell directly into a dead silence.
The girl who ran over also froze directly in place, and after seeing Qiao Xi, her first reaction was not anger, but ...... A kind of helplessness.
The girl is very beautiful, with three-dimensional and delicate facial features, beautiful like a doll, but this kind of beauty, in front of the current Qiao Xi, suddenly looks dim.
Qiao Xi had a polite smile on her face, and from beginning to end, her blue eyes never showed a little mood swing, as if everything in front of her was difficult to arouse her slightest interest.
Ivan had also noticed the girl in front of him, and then frowned slightly, "Caroline, what are you doing here?" β
Listening to Ivan's words, Caroline also immediately came back to her senses and wanted to say something, but she couldn't say a reason for a while, and she held it for a long time before she almost cried and said to Ivan, "I...... Ivan, I just miss you, I just want to come and see you. β
Ivan listened to Caroline's words, there was no emotional fluctuation on his handsome face, he just nodded slightly, and then brought Qiao Xi out directly beside him, and introduced to Caroline in front of him, "She is Ash, my fiancΓ©e." β
While speaking, Ivan also turned his gaze to Qiao Xi's body, and changed the coldness just now, and the whole person became a lot gentler, "Ash, this is Caroline, my friend." β
Qiao Xi listened to Ivan's words, looked at the girl in front of him, and smiled slightly, "Hello, I'm Ash." β
If he hadn't taken a look at it just now, Qiao Xi might not have noticed that the girl in front of him didn't seem to be as harmless as she was in front of her.
Although it was only for a moment, the hatred that flashed in the girl's eyes just now was still captured by her.
Now it seems that I am afraid that this banquet is a Hongmen banquet.
Of course, Qiao Xi is very happy to see this kind of problem, after all, she can't cause trouble, it doesn't mean that others can't cause trouble, right?
Thinking like this, Qiao Xi's gaze at Caroline softened a little, it can be said that she was eager!
Caroline, who watched it, suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness rise in her heart, and a chill ran down her spine.
It was just a glance, but for a moment, Caroline even had a feeling that her mind had been discovered.
Hiding the emotions in her heart, Caroline still raised a bright smile towards Qiao Xi and stretched out her hand towards Qiao Xi, "Hello Ash, I'm Caroline, it's nice to meet you, it's really beautiful." β
Qiao Xi looked at the girl with a bright smile on her face in front of her, and also stretched out her hand, there was no emotional fluctuation on her face, she just stretched out her hand, her face was still calm, her smile was not close, but it was not polite.
seems to be matched with Qiao Xi's face, even if she doesn't want to touch people, it won't give people an inappropriate feeling.
Gently held Caroline's hand, but before Qiao Xi could hold it, a look of pain suddenly appeared on Caroline's face, as if she was holding back a little forbearance, as if she was holding back and didn't want people to see it.
Qiao Xi looked at the hands held by the two, and his heart was clear in an instant.
She didn't expect this girl to be so careful.
A sarcastic smile crossed his clear eyes, and then Qiao Xi directly let go of his hand and spoke directly to Caroline in front of him, "I'm sorry, I think it's okay to get the meaning, you don't really need to touch it, and your expression doesn't look good." β
Qiao Xi's hand was put away in time, and what he said didn't make people think about it much.
Just now, I thought that Caroline was hurt by Qiao Xi's hand, but now she was directly brought over by Qiao Xi's words.
It's like a preconceived idea, Qiao Xi opened his mouth first, and everyone thought it was like this.
Caroline listened to Qiao Xi's words, and the expression on her face was also stiff.
She didn't expect that Qiao Xi would be able to react so quickly, which made her a little unsure of how to continue for a while.
If she is now sure that it is Qiao Xi's hand, then the character she has built up for so long will also collapse directly!
Taking a deep breath, Caroline suppressed the tumbling emotions in her heart, and then smiled at Qiao Xi, with a little tiredness, but shook her head gently, "I'm fine, I'm worried about you." β
Qiao Xi listened to Caroline's words, and just nodded slightly, "It's okay, if you don't feel well, let Ivan send you back, your body is the most important thing." β
Listening to Qiao Xi's words, Caroline suddenly gritted her teeth angrily, but her face was still gentle, she just smiled and nodded, looking very well-behaved, "Okay, if I don't feel well, I will definitely say it, and Ivan's brother will be troubled when the time comes." β
Caroline said, smiling playfully at Ivan beside her.
Ivan frowned slightly as he looked at Caroline's smile in front of him.
People around me love Caroline, saying that her smile is infectious, cute, and makes people happy.
But...... All he saw was a thick hypocrisy, a great hypocrisy.
Just glanced at Caroline lightly, Ivan retracted his gaze, frowned directly and said, "If you don't feel well, go back now, such a big person, you want to trouble others?" β
After speaking, Ivan didn't pay attention to Caroline's face, which had become ugly, and directly grabbed Qiao Xi's hand and led the person towards the banquet.
Caroline looked at the back of Qiao Xi and Ivan leaving, and there was a bit of ruthlessness in those big watery eyes.
But in just a moment, she was already cleanly restrained.
When Qiao Xi was brought to the center of the banquet, the surrounding discussions also sounded again.
"Oh my God! What did I see and how could she be so beautiful!? β
"I want to know her, just looking at her makes me happy."
"Don't think about it, she's Ivan's, no wonder Ivan hasn't accepted Caroline."
"I don't think she belongs here."
β¦β¦
The voices of discussion continued to sound, all of which were aimed at Qiao Xi's appearance.
Listening to the voices around her, the expression on Qiao Xi's face was still faint, and she didn't seem to care, as if what they said was not her.
On the contrary, Ivan on the side listened to the surrounding discussions, his face was a little more reluctant, and he even regretted bringing Qiao Xi out for so many people to see.
He wants Qiao Xi to be seen only by him, and only he can see Qiao Xi's beauty.
But it's obviously a little late to say this now.
Ivan took Qiao Xi and did not linger at the scene, but walked directly towards the two people in the main seat.
"Father, mother, she is Qiao Xi." Ivan took Qiao Xi to the front of the two old men, his face restrained a lot of arrogance, and he introduced respectfully.
Listening to Ivan's words, Qiao Xi also bowed slightly respectfully towards the two old men in front of him, and then smiled slightly, "Uncle, aunt." β
"Hmm." The old lady looked at Qiao Xi and looked her up and down, with a little satisfaction in her eyes, "It seems that the bloodline is okay, no wonder Ivan has never accepted Caroline, it is generally understandable, but, which young lady are you?" β
Ivan heard the old lady's question, his eyes paused slightly, and then he immediately continued, "Ash, she has no one in her family, and she doesn't know where her family is, I met her abroad and brought her back just to save her, but if it weren't for pure blood, there wouldn't be such eye color and hair color, wouldn't it?" β
The old lady frowned slightly when she listened to Ivan's words, and her eyes changed slightly when she looked at Qiao Xi, and then smiled slightly, and there was a little less eagerness in her voice, "Is this so?" But this doesn't look like an ordinary child, but where have you always lived? β
Qiao Xi listened to the old lady's words, but she didn't lie at all, and replied directly, "In country A." β
It's not that Qiao Xi doesn't cooperate, now this problem, if Qiao Xi tells too many lies, she won't be able to come back at all, not to mention that she really doesn't know much about country F now, and it's too easy for someone to find out what the problem is.
After the old lady heard Country A, the look on her face also stiffened suddenly, and then her eyebrows frowned.
"Hmph, Ivan, you are diligent in running in country A." The old lady said, and there was obvious dissatisfaction in her tone.
Ivan looked at the situation in front of him, and his heart paused slightly, but he still made a helpless look on his face, and then continued to speak, "I want to find Aunt Jane's child, I originally thought that she would not marry in this life, but ......"
Saying that, Ivan turned his gaze to Qiao Xi's body, reached out and gently took Qiao Xi's hand, with a hint of respect and piety on his handsome face, and then smiled at her and said, "But I have Ash now, I'm sorry for Aunt Jane, but I don't want to live up to Ash, so mother, I'm already ashamed of this, I hope you can accept Ash." β
Ivan's words, and the old lady's face became subtle.
In the final analysis, what she has always feared the most is that Ivan can't rest assured about the child who flowed out of the Jane family.
After all, the woman in the Jane family was already a mixed-race, and later went to country A, and the child's bloodline can be imagined to what extent it will be diluted!
Just thinking about it, the old lady felt a headache.
Not to mention that for so many years, Ivan has been too obsessed with this girl, which makes her choke enough.
Although the person brought back this time is not a noble girl, at least looking at it, the bloodline will not be like the widow of the Jian family, which can be regarded as a little reluctantly relieved.
Thinking about it, the little dissatisfaction that the old lady had with Qiao Xi in her heart also dispersed a lot.
Seeing that Qiao Xi's eyes became a lot gentler, she reached out and took Qiao Xi's hand, the old lady smiled at Qiao Xi, and her smile was a little kind, "Don't worry, our family is not the kind of old-fashioned family, as long as you and Ivan are good and like each other, our family will welcome you." β
