Chapter 20: Encounters

After waking up from the dream, Yi Qi Wanxi never fell asleep again, although it was just a dream, it made Yi Qi Wanxi's heart ache. Every time she thought about it, Yi Qiwan cried for a while. After crying all night, Yi Qi Wanxi's eyes were swollen, so that when he went to ask An in the morning to be seen by Yi Qi Mingzhi and Wang, Wang asked with a concerned face: "Wanxi, what's wrong with your eyes?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi shook her head slightly, and replied in a hoarse voice, "It's just that I didn't have a good rest last night." ”

Yi Qi Mingzhi looked at Yi Qi Wanxi for a long time, and said, "Let the vine grass accompany you out for a walk." ”

"No need." Yi Qi Wanxi decisively refused, "Isn't the vine still going to school?" ”

"Just tell the gentleman." Yi Qi Mingzhi said, turned around and ordered the housekeeper beside him to do something, and then asked Yi Qi Wanxi to go back to the room to clean up.

Yi Qi Wanxi returned to the room, not knowing what to clean up, so she sat in the room in a daze. Soon, the half-covered door was pushed open, and a slight sound sounded, but it was Aunt Ji's voice that came into Yi Qiwanxi's ears: "Third Miss." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi looked back at Aunt Ji, thinking about how she came to her place, and Aunt Ji opened her mouth with a smile: "Fourth Miss is waiting for you at the main gate." ”

Yi Qi nodded suddenly, then got up and took her bag and followed Aunt Ji to the main entrance.

Next to the car in front of the main entrance, Yi Qi was wearing a knee-length black dress, wearing black Western-style mid-heeled shoes, her long black hair was simply coiled, and she was wearing a good-looking white dress on her head. Hue. Butterfly. Black headband with a butterfly knot. Yi Qi Mancao paced back and forth, occasionally glancing down at the watch on his wrist.

Accompanied by Aunt Ji, Yi Qi Wanxi arrived at the main gate and went down the stairs, Yi Qi Wancao trotted forward and grabbed Yi Qi Wanxi's arm: "Third sister, you can figure it out." ”

Yi Qi Wanxi glanced at the car next to her, and was a little puzzled: "If you go around, there's no need to take the car, right?" ”

"Wandering around?" Yi Qi Mancao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud and said, "It turns out that the third sister doesn't know?" ”

Yi Qi Wanxi lowered her eyes slightly and looked at Yi Qi Vine, her eyes seemed to ask her "what".

Seeing this, Yi Qi Mancao didn't explain too much, and after talking to Aunt Ji, he pulled Yi Qi Wanxi into the car.

The morning sun shines through the clouds and is cut down considerably, so that it hits the ground less intensely.

The car stopped in front of the gate of a mansion in the British Concession, and after Yi Qi Mancao showed the people who came to inspect the documents, the heavy iron gate opened. The car pulls in and stops on the road next to the lawn.

Yi Qi Mancao and Yi Qi Wanxi got out of the car one after another, and as soon as they got out of the car, a foreigner in military uniform came to lead the two to the house.

Walking up the stairs and entering through the luxurious and tall gate, you will be greeted by a scene of prosperity. In the huge hall, there are gorgeously dressed human figures. Hue. color, the air is full of elegance and nobility. Yi Qi Wanxi thought of the tea party of the European aristocracy, and suddenly felt that she was out of place here wearing a cherry-colored half-sleeved cheongsam so casually. In an inconspicuous corner of the hall, a piano was placed by the window, and a blonde man in a black tuxedo was playing a tune affectionately, and the sunlight was shining through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and even the dust in the beam was very elegant.

In the hall, someone noticed the two later, so he covered his face slightly with a fan and said something to the people next to him, Yi Qi Wanxi didn't pay attention, but the eyes of those people were too obvious, which made Yi Qi Wanxi a little uncomfortable, so she looked at her eyes by feeling, but she was greeted by a calm smile after a panic.

The woman removed the fan from her face, skillfully and elegantly closed the fan, held it in her hand and put it in front of her abdomen, and nodded slightly at Yi Qi with a smile. She wore a light blue veil top hat, a gorgeous light blue peony embroidered cheongsam, a pair of white high heels, and sat on a chair with her legs slightly slanted, looking very elegant.

Yi Qi politely nodded at her in response. She always felt that the woman was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Yi Qi Wanxi saw that the woman turned her head to talk to the blonde woman next to her, and was thinking about her name in her mind, and was pulled by Yi Qi Mancao to sit down on the chair next to her.

"Really." After a waiter gave the two of them a glass of wine and left, Yi Qi Mancao pouted slightly and complained softly, "Why is she here?" ”

"She?" Yi Qi Wanxi looked at Yi Qi Mancao, and saw that she was looking at the other side, so she looked in the direction she was looking at, and found that she was looking at the woman who was smiling at her just now, so she asked, "Do you know her?" ”

Yi Qi Mancao picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and still looked at the woman who was talking happily with the foreign woman next to her not far away, and her tone was full of disdain: "Chen Rutian, Sinan's partner." ”

"Huh?" Yi Qi Wanxi looked at Yi Qi Mancao, who was a little angry, and couldn't help laughing, "You seem to be very dissatisfied with her, what did she do to make you angry?" ”

"She has been pestering Sinan, which makes me very angry." Yi Qi Mancao said, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Yi Qi smiled indifferently and said, "So it's your rival?" ”

Yi Qi Mancao was obviously stunned, withdrew his gaze, his gaze was much gentler, and he lowered his head slightly and muttered, "It shouldn't be......"

"Didn't you say she was pestering the Major General?" Yi Qi said gently, approached Yi Qi Mancao slightly, and found that Yi Qi Mancao's face was slightly red, and he couldn't help but get angry, "Only dare to sulk?" ”

"It's noisy." Yi Qi Mancao frowned slightly and pouted. The tone was impatient, but gentle.

"But you say, will the Major General be here?" Yi Qi said jokingly, looking up at random as if she was looking for something, "After all, she is the partner of the major general, isn't she?" ”

The sound fell, but he saw a tall and familiar figure coming in from the door, he was wearing a well-fitting Western-style black dress, Yi Qiwanxi's heart was stunned, and he hurriedly lowered his head before the man saw him, and pretended to be calm and picked up the wine glass on the table next to him.

Although Yi Qi Wanxi didn't want to be discovered by him, she was still discovered.

"Anan." After seeing Yi Qi Wanxi, Si Yu looked back at Si Nan, who was wearing a white Western-style dress beside him, "The daughter of Yi Qi's mansion is also here." ”

Sinan turned his head slightly to look at Yi Qi Mancao, quickly looked back at the front, and opened his mouth indifferently, but asked, "When did my brother start caring about her?" ”

Si Yu smiled indifferently and did not speak.

Not only did Yi Qi Wanxi notice Si Yu and Si Nan, but Yi Qi Mancao also noticed it, she wanted to get up and go to Si Nan, but she saw the elegant woman in a light blue cheongsam on the opposite side get up, move lightly, and walk towards Si Nan.

Chen Rutian walked in front of Si Nan, opened the fan with a smile and shook it in front of Si Nan, Si Nan looked at her, and smiled helplessly: "Don't make trouble", she smiled, took the fan and put it in front of her abdomen, raised her eyes to look at Si Yu beside Si Nan, bowed slightly to Si Nan, and then said something to Si Nan, and then turned around and walked to the chair next to her. Sinan and Si Yu followed behind her and sat around the chairs at the round table with her.

All this was completely seen by Yi Qi Mancao and Yi Qi Wanxi not far away. Yi Qi Mancao turned his head, his face showing loss: "If I were like that, Sinan would just look at me with disgust, call me naΓ―ve, and walk away." ”

Yi Qi looked at Yi Qi Wancao, not knowing what to say. Sinan's attitude towards Chen Rutian can be said to be favored, in front of Chen Rutian, Sinan is not at all like the well-known young master of the Si family who does not understand Fengyue and does not know how to pity fragrance and cherish jade. Maybe he didn't notice it himself, but when he looked at the naughty Chen Rutian's eyes, he didn't feel disgusted at all, but was full of love. Yi Qi Wanxi naturally knows what kind of feelings will have such eyes, but taking into account Yi Qi Mancao's feelings, she can't say anything.

Over there, Chen Rutian and Si Nan were chatting and laughing, although Si Yu was chatting with the two, Yu Guang paid attention to Yi Qi Wanxi here from time to time.

Si Yu didn't want to see Yi Qi Wanxi, for Si Yu, voyeurism has never been his style, if he wanted to, he would go directly to talk. It's just that Yi Qi Wanxi was disturbed by a man in a blue suit that Si Yu didn't know, and Yi Qi Wanxi looked reluctant, but still talked to him.

"Is this your sister?" The person who speaks fluent English is Gu Yi, and he is also the person Yi Qi Wanxi does not want to meet.

"Hmm." Yi Qi replied simply.

"It's a bit like you." Gu Yi said, showing a kind and gentle smile towards Yi Qi Mancao, who was looking at him suspiciously, and then stretched out his right hand and said to Yi Qi Mancao in Chinese, "Hello, first meeting, my name is Nick, and I am a friend that Wan Xi met when she was in England. Due to the particularity of the Gu family in Shanghai, in order to cause unnecessary trouble, Gu Yi did not say his Chinese name to the outside world.

Yi Qi Mancao showed obvious surprise at Gu Yi's ability to speak Chinese, and because of interest, he suddenly smiled, stretched out his right hand and shook Gu Yi, and said, "Hello, my name is Yi Qi Mancao." With that, he withdrew his hand and asked, "Do you speak Chinese?" Are you Chinese? ”

"Sort of." Gu Yi smiled, "Because I just have Chinese ancestry." ”

"Huh?" Yi Qi Mancao's eyes widened, "So you're of mixed Chinese and British blood, aren't you?" ”

"Not really." Gu Yi smiled lightly.

Yi Qi Mancao wanted to ask something, but was preempted by Yi Qi Wanxi: "Why are you here?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Yi raised his eyebrows lightly, and looked at Yi Qi Wanxi with a smile, his eyes were gentle, with a hint of surprise, "This is in the British Concession, this is a tea party held by the British, as a person with British nationality, is it strange for me to be here?" ”

Yi Qi raised her eyes to look at Gu Yi, her eyes were flat, but she vaguely revealed unfriendliness.

"Hmm......" Gu Yi looked at Yi Qi Wanxi and said with a smile, "Why do you have such an expression?" It's kind of scary. ”

Yi Qi Wanxi didn't speak, and Yi Qi Mancao next to him interjected: "The third sister's eyes are indeed a little scary. Yi Qi Mancao said, his eyes moved to Gu Yi, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nick, my third sister hasn't been in a good mood lately. ”

"Ah......" Gu Yi raised his chin slightly and lowered his eyes to look at Yi Qi Wanxi, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, "I see." Then he lowered his chin, looked at Yi Qi Mancao with a soft gaze, and said with a smile, "Then I won't bother." ”

Yi Qi Mancao looked at Gu Yi and wanted to say something, but saw Gu Yi get up, bend down and whisper something in Yi Qi Wanxi's ear, so he closed his slightly open mouth.
