Chapter 479: The Mysterious Man
Caroline stood beside Qiao Xi, her eyes also looked vigilantly at the man on the side, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke to Qiao Xi, "Sister Qiao Xi, do you know this person?" ”
"Perhaps." Qiao Xi said, just gently raised his head slightly and drank the wine in his glass, his movements were a little scattered and elegant.
The bright red liquid formed a sharp contrast with Qiao Xi's fair skin, which also made Qiao Xi's face more charming and moving.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi withdrew his gaze, and just slowly put the wine glass beside him aside.
There were still a lot of eyes around that gathered in the direction of Qiao Xi and them, and many people looked at Qiao Xi with amazement in their eyes, and even a little greed and impatience, but in the end, no one dared to come forward.
Looking at the situation in front of him, Qiao Xi was a little grateful to Jian Ning for what he had done just now.
Although it seemed to have caused her a lot of trouble, it also saved him a lot of trouble.
At least now she can save herself from dealing with these irrelevant people.
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and his mood was a little better.
Caroline on the side looked at Qiao Xi, who was suddenly in a good mood next to her, and blinked her eyes, and her clear eyes were also a little puzzled.
Blinked, in the end, Caroline still didn't think clearly, and then thought about it...... It seems that there are too many things that she can't think of clearly, so she simply doesn't think about it anymore.
Silently put away her thoughts in her heart, Caroline also turned her eyes to the banquet in front of her again, no one dared to come to Qiao Xi, Caroline, who was with Qiao Xi, also felt a rare quiet.
Gently took a sip of Qiao Xi's wine, Caroline was directly spicy and stuck out her tongue, her big watery eyes were directly full of tears in an instant, and she looked pitiful, looking at Qiao Xi, her eyes were full of accusations.
Looking at Caroline's appearance, Qiao Xi also chuckled unconsciously, then took a glass of juice from the side and handed it directly to Caroline, smiling slightly, "Drink this, the alcohol content here is not low, if you want a lighter degree, I have seen it here, and there may not be one." ”
Saying that, Qiao Xi looked at Carolyn with a bit of helplessness in her eyes.
Caroline listened to Qiao Xi's words, and in the end she just pursed her mouth, nodded towards Qiao Xi, and signaled that she was clear.
Just cautiously looked at the wine glass on the side, although the liquid of alcohol was still bewitching, but in the end Caroline still retracted her gaze, just quietly held her juice and sipped it, and no longer spoke.
Although Qiao Xi had tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, there were still people who gathered towards Qiao Xi.
Several girls looked at Qiao Xi with a bit of hostility and curiosity in their eyes, but they still spoke to Qiao Xi: "You are Qiao Xi?" ”
"Hmm." Qiao Xi listened to the words of a few girls, just nodded his head, then put down the wine glass in his hand, and smiled slightly at the person in front of him, the expression on his face was neither close, but it did not look rude.
"I know you, you're also from the Jane family, aren't you?" The girl said, looking at Qiao Xi's eyes with a bit of scrutiny and temptation, "I've heard of you, although I'm not from my own family, but I've heard my brother mention you." ”
Qiao Xi listened to the girl's words, and her heart was also clear in an instant.
If her guess is correct, the girl in front of her is obviously a side child, even if she is not a direct child of the Jian family.
I came up to ask her at this time, and I don't know what kind of calculation I was making.
I have to say that Jane's family really likes to find trouble when they have nothing to do.
Hiding the impatience in his eyes, Qiao Xi still suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said calmly to the girl in front of him, "I don't know who your brother is, but I am not from the Jian family, I am from the Qiao family, in country A." ”
Listening to Qiao Xi's words, the girl was also stunned, obviously she didn't expect that she would get such an answer, she opened her mouth, and the words behind were choked back by Qiao Xi's sentence "It's not Jane's family".
Holding her neck, the girl looked at Qiao Xi's little face and turned red for a while.
Looking at the appearance of the girl next to him, the people on the side also poked the girl, and then raised his head towards Qiao Xi again, and said, "Don't lie to us, if you are not from the Jian family, what are you doing here now?" My brother said that unless you want to go back to Jane's house, you won't have any interaction with us. ”
Qiao Xi listened to the girl's words, and was made to smile bitterly for a while.
I don't know where this miraculous theory of hers came from.
Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Qiao Xi spoke again to the girl in front of him, with a bit of inexplicability in his clear eyes, "I think, if you don't take the initiative to find it, we won't have any intersection." ”
"You!" The girl was choked by Qiao Xi's words, as if she ...... It's as if she came up to Qiao Xi on the pole!
But actually, it seems to be just that.
suppressed the emotions in her heart, and the girl looked towards Qiao Xi angrily, but this time before she could speak, Qiao Xi had already taken the lead in opening her mouth, "Since you like this, then I won't delay your elegance." ”
While speaking, Qiao Xi gently picked up the wine glass in his hand, and gestured slightly to the girl in front of him, but without waiting for the reaction of several people, he drank the wine in the wine glass by himself, and then smiled slightly, "I wish you all a good time." ”
After speaking, Qiao Xi also turned around and left with Caroline directly.
Following Qiao Xi's footsteps, Caroline also immediately left.
The two girls behind her are a little bit of a friend.
Before, she came here with Qiao Xi, thinking that she could get acquainted with the people here and maintain Qiao Xi a little, but now it seems that ...... It seems that Qiao Xi doesn't need her at all,
Thinking of this, Caroline's frustration became even stronger.
Just thinking about it, the banquet has officially begun.
The old lady who had gone out before had also returned to the hall, and sat on the main seat, with a kind but majestic smile on her face.
The moment the old lady sat on the chair, the people around her also closed their mouths one after another, and they all fell silent.
Seeing that the surroundings were already quiet, the old lady stood up gently on her crutches, and swept her eyes to the people below one by one, before she spoke, "First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for giving me face as an old lady and coming to my birthday banquet, and at the same time, there is one more thing that surprises me, that is, the arrival of Mr. X." ”
As she spoke, the old lady's gaze also looked in the direction of the man.
And no matter what the old lady said, the man still looked indifferent, just drinking on the side, it seemed that the identity of the old lady was not as charming as that glass of wine in his eyes.
The old lady just glanced at the man's reaction, and did not show any dissatisfaction, as if it should have been.
The gaze of the people around him looking at the man gradually became a lot more complicated, with awe and curiosity.
After all, although the status of the man is high, because of the mystery and rarely appearing, not everyone present knows it.
The following discussion was also accompanied by the man's voice slowly sounded.
"Who is this man? Why is Old Madam Jane so respectful? ”
"I don't know, I've never seen it, but the old lady seems to be afraid of him......"
"Silver mask, I know a person, and the person who can make the old lady treat him like this should be the only one."
"There is an assassination list, since it was hung up ten years ago, no one has been able to change it, and no one has been able to shake the top of the list, and even now, no one dares to continue to attack him."
“X! I remember! ”
"How did he end up here......"
The surrounding discussions also began to gradually make people pay attention to the man's true identity, and they all distanced themselves from the man one after another, and looked at the man with fear in his eyes.
The surrounding atmosphere has gradually become a lot more depressing because of the presence of men.
Qiao Xi stood aside, listening to the surrounding discussions, and the expression on his face became a lot more complicated.
If Xiao Hansheng is really Mr. X, then ten years ago, Xiao Hansheng was only a teenager, and he was still an adult, could he do this?
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi's heart also had a little hesitation.
At first, she had already decided in her heart that this person was Xiao Hansheng, but now looking at the masked man in front of her, Qiao Xi also had a little doubt in her heart.
If it is really Xiao Hansheng, then this time is too terrifying.
But if not, how to explain the time of the man's appearance, the man's behavior and the invitation in his hand?
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi's eyes were a little more hesitant and incomprehensible, and even the eyes that looked at the man were a little complicated, with a little hesitation and vigilance.
Caroline on the side looked at Qiao Xi with a solemn face beside her, and her heart was also a little worried.
Zhu pursed her lips, and then Caroline still reached out to Qiao Xi and pulled her sleeve, and said to her, "Sister Qiao Xi, what happened?" Is there something wrong? ”
"It's fine." Qiao Xi said, and directly retracted her gaze, although she can't get any definite answers to this matter now, but the truth of this matter, it is only a matter of time before she knows.
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi simply suppressed the emotions in his heart, directly dispelled all the thoughts in his mind, smiled at Caroline, and said, "Let's go over there, there are more people here." ”
"Okay." Caroline listened to Qiao Xi's words, but she didn't have any opinion at all, and walked directly to the side with Qiao Xi.
The two of them were originally only invited to come, but now looking at the situation in front of them, it is obvious that there is not much need to stay.
As for staying until now, it's just to see what the Jian family is up to.
Retracted his gaze, Qiao Xi's face always had a faint smile, and after Qiao Xi turned his gaze away, the temperature on the man's face also faded cleanly, and it was completely cold, so that the surrounding air seemed to drop directly to the freezing point.
The cold is terrifying.
