Saying that, Old Madam Jian looked at Qiao Xi with a little more indifference in her eyes, just glanced at her coldly, and then said, "You should also know very well that it is not difficult for me to get rid of you, I hope you can be clear about this." ”

"Of course, I'm not going to do that right now, and it's not going to do me any good." As she spoke, Old Madam Jian looked at Qiao Xi with a little smile in her eyes, and she had directly hidden the hypocrisy on her face just now, as if nothing had happened.

Looking at the hypocritical and excessive old man in front of him, Qiao Xi didn't say much, just stood quietly in place, waiting for the old man's last words.

And in the end, it was not the old man's words that came, but the man who helped her at today's banquet.

After the man walked in, he sat down directly on the chair next to Qiao Xi, with a faint chill on his body, which could even be clearly felt.

Qiao Xi unconsciously moved some distance.

If Qiao Xi's heart was only with a faint suspicion before, then now Qiao Xi's heart is already full of doubt!

If it is Xiao Hansheng, it doesn't seem to be this feeling on his body, the chill on Xiao Hansheng's body is angry, that kind of unstoppable momentum, it won't be this kind of cold feeling at all,

Don't...... Is it really that she thinks too much?

Just thinking about it, Qiao Xi's heart also sank slightly.

If this is really the case, then this man obviously will not have any feelings for her, let alone really help her.

After knowing this, she had even completely lost any use value to Old Lady Jane.

If that's the case, then how can she know about her mother? Even...... It was an extremely difficult situation for her to survive in this environment.

Thinking about it, Qiao Xi's heart also gasped, and without thinking about it anymore, Qiao Xi directly withdrew his gaze, looking at his nose and nose.

At this time, the old lady on the side had also slowly opened her mouth to the man, "Sir, I think you should be very curious about Qiao Xi, so I will leave you time and space to get to know each other now, after all, it is thanks to you that Qiao Xi can come in smoothly today, otherwise I will lose the opportunity to find my own granddaughter." ”

After speaking, Old Madam Jian stood up directly, leaving the room to Qiao Xi and the man in front of her.

When Mrs. Jian left, she also took away the other servants in the room, which made the surrounding atmosphere a lot colder.

Qiao Xi looked at the man in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly spoke to the man, "Thank you for today's matter." ”

"It's fine." The man's thin lips opened lightly, and there was a thick indifference in his tone, which was completely different from when he met today, and the whole person seemed to be a lot colder, just like ...... Changed a person,

If the man appeared in front of Qiao Xi in this posture today, Qiao Xi could almost guarantee that he would not associate the person in front of him with Xiao Hansheng at all.

Suppressing the emotions in his heart, Qiao Xi just pursed his lips and stood aside, looking at the man with vigilance on his delicate little face, and even unconsciously took half a step back.

At least now she can be sure that the momentum of the man in front of her is very dangerous, but it is not Xiao Hansheng.

Thinking about it, Qiao Xi bit his lower lip tightly, and his clear eyes flickered slightly, with a hint of vigilance.

Feeling Qiao Xi's emotional changes, the man just raised his eyes slightly and glanced at her, then his thin lips opened lightly, and he said slowly, "Are you afraid of me?" ”

As he spoke, the man stood up and looked at Qiao Xi condescendingly.

The huge sense of oppression made Qiao Xi's eyebrows frown tightly, but he didn't say much, just took two steps back, wanting to distance himself directly from the man in front of him.

Feeling Qiao Xi's movements, the man just chuckled, but did not continue to get closer, and then spoke softly towards Qiao Xi, "I don't have much interest in you, but you can rest assured, I can continue to help you make them have this illusion until you achieve your goal." ”

After saying that, the man had already sat down directly back in his place;

Feeling the man's withdrawal, Qiao Xi has gradually felt that the air around him has become a lot more relaxed.

With a slight sigh of relief, Qiao Xi turned his gaze to the man, and then his lips opened lightly, and he said slowly, "Who are you, you won't help me for no reason, right?" ”

"It's not for nothing." The man said, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he remembered something interesting by Qiao Xi's question, but it was only a moment's work, and the man had already restrained this emotion, nodded his head towards Qiao Xi, and said, "But this matter has nothing to do with you, you can rest assured." ”

Qiao Xi listened to the man's words and wanted to ask something more, but his eyes met the man's gaze, and finally swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi looked at the man with a bit of indifference and alienation in his eyes.

At least for now, she can still be sure of a few things.

First of all, it is the identity of a man, not Xiao Hansheng, and secondly, the man does not have any malice towards her, but there are some intersections that she does not know.

Although there is no reason, Qiao Xi has an inexplicable intuition and feels ...... This matter has something to do with Xiao Hansheng!

Thinking so, but Qiao Xi didn't say much in the end, and the man didn't say much, the two just sat in a room quietly, and it was too harmonious for a while.

Just thinking about it, the man suddenly moved, without a hint of warning, which made Qiao Xi stunned.

Looking at the man who was suddenly approaching him, Qiao Xi was stunned in place, almost instinctively wanting to distance himself from the man.

But before she could completely distance herself from the man, the man had already taken a step faster and directly grabbed her waist, and then the sound of the door opening behind him also sounded directly.

After a slight pause, the man looked at Qiao Xi with a smile in his eyes, which also made Qiao Xi's heart instantly clear, and immediately cooperated with the man's actions to suppress the emotions in his heart.

Matching the man's movements, Qiao Xi directly took advantage of the situation and made a look that he was unwilling to accept.

After Mrs. Jian came in, the man had already stood up directly, distanced himself from Qiao Xi, stretched out his hand and straightened his clothes, his handsome face was still indifferent, as if what had just happened had not set off a trace of waves in the man's heart.

It's like nothing has happened, and it's like it's none of your business.

Qiao Xi stood aside, and after Mrs. Jian came in, she just gently straightened her clothes, and then lowered her head slightly, with a look of reluctance to say more on her face.

The two of them didn't seem to have happened, but the appearance of not opening their mouths was even more reverie.

Old Madam Jian looked at the situation in front of her, first slightly stunned, and then there was a faint smile in her eyes, and then she said to Qiao Xi, "Xiaoxi, how is it, how are you talking to Mr. X?" ”

Qiao Xi listened to Mrs. Jian's words, her eyes flickered slightly, her lips were tightly pursed and she didn't say much, she just glanced at Old Madam Jian lightly, and didn't say a word.

Regarding Qiao Xi's reaction and attitude, Old Madam Jian did not have a trace of emotional fluctuations on her face, and she didn't seem to care about these, but instead looked at the man on the side, and smiled slightly, with a bit of elder kindness on her face.

It's just that this kind smile, even if it is placed on Old Madam Jane's body, still gives people an inexplicable chill, as if it is ...... This expression didn't belong to her at all.

"What's the matter, Xiaoxi doesn't have anything to make you unhappy, right?" As Mrs. Jian spoke, she also directly took Qiao Xi's hand and sat aside, whether it was the title or the actions and behaviors between the two, they became very intimate, just like a pair of grandchildren who talked about everything.

Qiao Xi looked at the hypocritical smile of Old Madam Jian beside her, and her heart was slightly cold, and then she looked away directly, and even looked at the man with a little more dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Although he didn't know why a man wanted to help him, Qiao Xi was now sure that since a man could talk so much to Old Madam Jian, it was obviously not a good thing!

Thinking about it, the anger in Qiao Xi's heart also became stronger.

But this anger was finally suppressed and still dispelled in Qiao Xi's own heart.

After all, there is no way for her to change the current situation, and she still wants to know about her mother, so she can only continue to stay here.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi suppressed the emotions in his heart and just stood quietly aside, allowing Old Madam Jian on the side to speak with a hypocritical face.

"She's fine." As the man spoke, his eyes also looked towards Qiao Xi on the side, with a somewhat meaningful smile in his ink-colored eyes, revealing an ambiguity, which made people unconsciously want to think more.

Without waiting for people to say more, the man had slowly retracted his gaze, just smiled faintly at Old Madam Jane, and said, "But now I still have something to leave, as for this matter, I will come back next time." ”

After speaking, the man also looked at Qiao Xi on the side, just glanced at her deeply, and then turned to leave.

Qiao Xi looked at the back of the man leaving, his lips were tightly pursed, and his clear eyes were filled with some complicated emotions.

Although the man didn't have anything to do with her, Qiao Xi knew very well that the man did this completely to help him.

Whether it is the invitation at the beginning or the ambiguity after that, it is the protective color that the man gives her a disguise.

In this way, even if the man is not here, Qiao Xi will definitely not say that he is helpless, at least with his identity, Mrs. Jian will not really embarrass Qiao Xi too much, after all, Qiao Xi's value is here.

If Qiao Xi's existence can become a bridge connecting him and the Jian family, I believe that Mrs. Jian will sacrifice more things for Qiao Xi, even if it is her own granddaughter Jian Ning.
