Mr. Jiang didn't speak immediately, and neither did Qiao Xi, just stood quietly in place, looking neither humble nor arrogant.

Both of them looked at each other quietly, as if trying to find a hint of compromise in each other's eyes, but in the end, there was no trace of it.

In the end, it was the sudden sound at the entrance that directly interrupted the silent atmosphere.

"Old man Jiang, you really don't want people to live in peace when you celebrate your birthday." An Renliang said as he walked directly towards Qiao Xi's position, with a faint smile on his face, "Xiaoxi, don't be scared by this old man, he is a paper tiger." ”

Qiao Xi listened to An Renliang's words, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the smile on his face became a lot stiffer.

Paper tiger?

I'm afraid that only An Renliang dares to treat Mr. Jiang as a paper tiger.

If Mr. Jiang is a paper tiger to them, then they are not even confetti!

An Renliang didn't wait for Qiao Xi's answer, and walked directly towards Mr. Jiang, and sat directly beside Mr. Jiang with a big grin.

Mr. Jiang looked at An Renliang beside him, and just snorted dissatisfiedly, but he didn't say much, obviously he was still a little satisfied with An Renliang's behavior of alleviating embarrassment.

He doesn't like Xiao Hansheng, it can be regarded as a kind of stubbornness and persistence, but in fact, he can't hate Xiao Hansheng for a long time, let alone transfer this anger to Qiao Xi.

"You still know how to come?" Old Mr. Jiang snorted directly at An Renliang, and then continued to speak towards him, "If you stand late, you can catch up with my seventy-first birthday!" ”

An Renliang listened to Mr. Jiang's words, and pouted with some dissatisfaction, "You're almost there, I don't know if I'm not there next year, just listen to you tell me here that it's useless." ”

While speaking, An Renliang no longer continued to care about Mr. Jiang's reaction at this time, and directly turned his gaze towards Qiao Xi, looking at Jiang Hanyu beside Qiao Xi, his eyebrows also frowned tightly, and he waved his hand directly at Qiao Xi, "Xiaoxi, come to Uncle An, stay away from that stinky boy of the Jiang family." ”

An Renliang's words were not merciful at all, which also made Jiang Hanyu cry and laugh for a while.

Listening to An Renliang's words, the dissatisfaction in Mr. Jiang's heart suddenly rose directly, slapped it on the table fiercely, and said to An Renliang, "What's wrong with our family Hanyu?!" Why don't you deserve this girl!? ”

Qiao Xi and Jiang Hanyu listened to Mr. Jiang's words, and suddenly choked, their pupils widened in disbelief, obviously frightened by the old man's words.

Looking at the reactions of the two juniors below, An Renliang also snorted coldly, hugged his arm, and spoke to Mr. Jiang, "Otherwise, what do you think your Jiang Hanyu is?" ”

Qiao Xi stood aside, looking at the two old men who had completely just gotten up, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and suddenly she looked like she was looking at her nose and nose, no matter what, she couldn't intervene in this matter, although she said it...... It's about him.

But at this time, she seems to have no right to speak except for being quiet and well-behaved.

Jiang Hanyu on the side looked at the two old men in front of him, and was immediately angry and helpless, just smiled and shook his head, and then said to Qiao Xi beside him, "Grandpa, they are all joking, don't worry, grandpa won't let you do things you don't like." ”

Qiao Xi listened to Jiang Hanyu's words, and suddenly choked, being directly said about this kind of thing, poured

It made Qiao Xi a little embarrassed for a while.

Coughing lightly, Qiao Xi cleared his throat, and then nodded his head towards Jiang Hanyu, "Thank you." ”

After speaking, Qiao Xi directly picked up the wine glass on the side, gently put it to his lips, and took a sip lightly, without saying more.

At this time, the topic of the two old men also turned to Qiao Xi again.

Feeling the eyes that suddenly gathered towards him, the smile on the corner of Qiao Xi's mouth stiffened slightly.

"By the way, today is a birthday banquet, Qiao Xi must have prepared a gift for me, right?" As he spoke, Mr. Jiang cast a provocative look at An Renliang on the side.

At the sight of Mr. Jiang last year, An Renliang's face turned red with anger, and he snorted dissatisfiedly, "You just have a birthday, otherwise you think Xiaoxi will be willing to come over and give you a gift?" ”

"Then you don't have either." Mr. Jiang said, with a bit of arrogance on his face.

said that it was an old child, an old child, this sentence made Qiao Xi feel it at this moment...... It's really not bad at all.

didn't speak, Qiao Xi just stood quietly aside, and then, kept smiling.

An Renliang was so angry that he didn't know what to say, and finally held back for a long time before he said such a sentence, "When I celebrate my birthday, Xiaoxi's gift must be better than yours!" ”

As he spoke, An Renliang turned his gaze directly towards Qiao Xi, with a dissatisfaction in his eyes that had not yet dissipated, "Xiaoxi, did you say!?" ”

“……”

Is this really good for her answer?

Looking at the two old men in front of him who had completely forgotten the occasion at this time, Qiao Xi cleared his throat, and then spoke to Mr. Jiang and An Renliang on the side, "Mr. Jiang, Uncle An, it's better to look at the gift first." ”

While speaking, Qiao Xi smiled slightly at the housekeeper next to him, and then quietly returned to his original position.

Mr. Jiang and An Renliang listened to Qiao Xi's words, and finally quieted down.

But after the gift came, Qiao Xi's faces fell into a dead silence again.

The gift is a huge crystal chessboard, and the chess pieces on it are also made of jade, which shines dazzlingly under the light, and it is not beautiful for a while.

But this gift caused the whole scene to fall into a dead silence.

Looking at the gift in front of him, Qiao Xi also paused slightly, frowning tightly.

This one...... It wasn't a gift she had prepared.

As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, but before Qiao Xi could say what came to his mouth, Jiang Hanyu on the side had already stepped forward directly to stop Qiao Xi and walked in front of Mr. Jiang, "Grandpa, Qiao Xi came for the first time, and he shouldn't know these things, so he ......"

"Shut up." Old Mr. Jiang listened to Jiang Hanyu's words, just glanced at him coldly, and then his thin lips opened coldly, "It's not your turn to speak here." ”

An Renliangka's gift from Qiao Xi, his eyebrows were also frowning tightly, and the emotions in his eyes were a little more solemn.

It's okay to say that Qiao Xi is sending other things, but if he wants to send such a chessboard, he almost pokes directly at Mr. Jiang's sore spot.

Whether intentional or unintentional, this gift can be said to have directly touched Mr. Jiang's scales.

Qiao Xi looked at the atmosphere in front of him, which had become completely depressing, Zhu

His lips pursed, but he still bypassed Jiang Hanyu, walked directly in front of Mr. Jiang, bowed deeply to him, and then said apologetically, "Old Mr. Jiang, I'm sorry, I didn't know that this gift was inappropriate, but this is not a gift I prepared." ”

"Didn't you prepare it? Who else could that be? The people around him had already begun to sneer at Qiao Xi.

After all, Qiao Xi has been in the limelight too much today.

Whether it is Mr. Jiang's preference for her, or the ability she just showed, or An Renliang who appeared later, Qiao Xi is almost like today's protagonist, and this situation has also made a trace of dissatisfaction rise in many people's hearts early.

Listening to the following words, Qiao Xi's face was also a little dignified, and then he took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and did not pay attention to the voice behind him, but spoke to Mr. Jiang in front of him again, "Mr. Jiang, you can give me a chance to prove that this gift is indeed not prepared by me." ”

Qiao Xi's voice was faint, but with a firmness, which was completely unquestionable.

Mr. Jiang listened to Qiao Xi's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the emotion that had just risen in his heart still did not dissipate, but he looked at Qiao Xi lightly, making it impossible to see the joy and anger in his heart at this time.

For a while, the surroundings were so quiet that they could only hear each other's breathing.

Jiang Hanyu looked at Qiao Xi beside him and Mr. Jiang in front of him, his fingers clenched tightly, opened his mouth, and finally stepped aside, with worry on his face.

At this time, it was not that he did not dare to come forward to speak, but he could not speak at all.

It's okay not to say it, but if he stepped forward to speak for Qiao Xi at this time, it would only make the anger in Mr. Jiang's heart irritate.

An Renliang looked at the situation in front of him, and finally spoke to Old Mr. Jiang, "Xiaoxi is not such a person, there may be other reasons for this matter." ”

Qiao Xi listened to An Renliang's words, with a trace of gratitude in his clear eyes, and then his eyes also looked towards Mr. Jiang.

However, the atmosphere in the hall finally became a little less depressing because of An Renliang's words, and the temperature eased a little.

Mr. Jiang looked at Qiao Xi in front of him, with a bit of temptation and scrutiny in his eyes.

Feeling Mr. Jiang's gaze, Qiao Xi simply stood in place, let Mr. Jiang look at him, the expression on his delicate little face was faint, his back was straight, and he looked firm, which also made Mr. Jiang's heart less emotional.

Retracting his gaze, Mr. Jiang gently picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip gently, and then his thin lips opened coldly, "Okay, then I'll give you a chance to prove it, and I hope you don't let me down, and don't let An Renliang down." ”

"Okay." Qiao Xi said, bowing deeply to Mr. Jiang in front of him, with a hint of respect on his face.

At this time, Jonalan, who was in the corner, glanced at An Renliang with some dissatisfaction, and then slowly put the wine glass in his hand aside, picked up his mobile phone, dialed a number, and turned around and left the hall.

It was as if she had never been here.

The gift thing was like a bomb, which directly set off a huge wave in this birthday banquet, but it was temporarily suppressed after all.

Except for Qiao Xi, who went to find evidence, everyone continued to participate in the birthday banquet according to the original situation, but the surrounding atmosphere was completely blown up to death. 2k reading web
