203 Why was he so afraid?
The smile on Xu Manli's face was still the same sarcastic as usual for me, "Why did you come?" It shouldn't have been Shaotang who invited you, right? β
I smirked, "Of course not, I'm here with a friend." β
"Friends?" Xu Manli raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately suddenly, she smiled even more sarcastically, "Oh~ If you want to say that you are still capable, you will immediately catch a golden turtle when you turn your head." β
I expected her to be sarcastic about me like this, so I smiled meaninglessly, "It seems that you are quite envious, it's okay, I'll introduce you a few another day." His eyes deliberately swept up and down on her, revealing a look of regret, "But with your current conditions, it is estimated that they may not be able to see it." β
Xu Manli's face stiffened with thick powder makeup, "What's wrong with my conditions?" She puffed her chest angrily, crossed her waist with one hand, and trembled slightly with the other hand holding the drink glass, "I'm 20 years younger, no worse than you!" β
This is true, although Xu Manli was a third-rate singer when she was young, her appearance was not inferior to those who were popular, otherwise she would not have been photographed by Lou Shaotang and his father. Even now, she is also a graceful half-aged, better maintained than Xia Peiyun and Shen Yiru. It's just that I've been in a wealthy family for so many years, but the cheesiness on my body hasn't been washed clean at all.
Seeing that she was easily provoked by me, I laughed secretly, but I covered my mouth and opened my eyes wide, pretending to be surprised, "Listen to this, you really want to hang the golden turtle?!" I'm just kidding. β
"You ......" Xu Manli's face turned blue, glaring at me angrily, and she was choked so much that she couldn't squeeze out half a word.
Some of the people around us had already heard our conversation, and they looked at Xu Manli and covered their mouths and snickered.
I gracefully picked up a drink from the table and sipped it gently.
At this time, Lou Anqi's slightly anxious voice came from far and near behind me, "Mom, why do you still have the leisure to chat here?!" Brother Ji Tang was drunk and fought with someone at the door of the bathroom. Go check it out! β
"Huh?"
As soon as she heard that her son was in trouble again, Xu Manli's face was pale, and she couldn't care about continuing to pinch me, so she put the cup on the table, and because she was in too much of a hurry, the orange juice in the cup was shaken out, and the white tablecloth was dyed yellow.
Seeing her feet like hot wheels in the direction of the bathroom, I sneered, Lou Anqi walked up to me and laughed playfully, "It's really easy to deceive." β
"You lied to her?" I was amazed and thought it was true.
Lou Anqi picked up a piece of chocolate on my plate with her fingers and stuffed it into her mouth, "Of course, otherwise how can you get her away?!" β
I laughed, "Ghost girl." β
Lou Anqi laughed, but immediately seemed to think of something, her happy expression suddenly became lost, she sighed slightly, and flattened her mouth, "Hey, I thought you and Brother Shaotang could reconcile last time." β
I didn't expect her to suddenly mention this, and I was shocked, but the surface was silent, and she glanced at Zheng Ke'er on the side as if she had unintentionally. She looked at me with surprise and suspicion in her eyes.
I didn't say anything, as if I hadn't heard, and took a calm sip of my drink.
She looked at Lou Anqi again.
Lou Anqi hung her head, her fingers rubbing along the edge of the plate, and she didn't notice Zheng Keer's expression. Seeing that she seemed to be about to open her mouth to continue, I immediately preempted her and diverted the subject, "When are you going back to France?" β
Lou Anqi was slightly stunned and raised her head, "Maybe next week." β
Her emotions are easy to be taken away, at this moment, she has regained her smile, but after saying this, she immediately frowned, a little worried, "By the way, Sister Xiaoying, I added Xiaoyu WeChat before, but he never passed, I don't know what's going on, he can't forget who I am, right?" β
I was stunned, "Oh, he usually rarely goes on WeChat, I guess I didn't see it, and I'll talk about it when I go back to Facetime with him." β
Hearing me say this, the gloom on Lou Anqi's face immediately dissipated, and she grinned, "Okay, then please!" When I get back to France, I'll go find him. β
I smiled. In fact, Xiaoyu goes on WeChat every day, and he must have deliberately failed to pass. He doesn't like Lou Anqi, and he doesn't like any of the Lou family except Lou Shaotang. But Lou Anqi likes him, I can see it, and it's the kind of woman who likes men. It's just that Xiaoyu won't accept it, and there is almost no possibility for the two of them to be together.
I put down my glass and caught a glimpse of Yvonne walking towards us, the smile on my face unconsciously twitching slightly.
"Sister-in-law." Yvonne stood still in front of me, her chin slightly raised, her posture still proud of that of a queen, and the smile on her lips was the usual sarcastic.
My lips also hooked sarcastically, straightening my back, and my momentum was not inferior to hers.
When she called me that, the two people next to me were amazed. Especially Zheng Ke'er, she has not completely adjusted from Lou Anqi's words just now, and now her face is whiter, her face is stiff, and she can't squeeze out a smile.
"Hey, Yvonne, did you just eat dessert? Why is your mouth so sweet all of a sudden? Lou Anqi's tone was innocent, but the mockery in her words was obvious.
βYvonneοΌβ Yvonne picked his eyes, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, "Anqi, shouldn't you call me sister-in-law too?" β
"You're a foreigner and you still pay attention to this?" Lou Anqi's peach eyes rolled over to the ceiling, obviously unwilling to scream.
"I'm already married to your brother, of course I have to follow the local customs."
When I heard this, I chuckled, "Your Chinese is getting better and better, and you can use idioms." β
Where could Yvonne not hear the sarcasm in my words? Her face froze for a moment, and she immediately snorted, "What's so strange about this. For Hugo, not to mention learning Chinese, I will not hesitate to go to the soup. β
Looking at her straightforward appearance, it seems that her marriage with Qiao Chenfei was not a trick, but the result of falling in love with each other, I couldn't help but sarcastically say again, "The power of love is so great." β
"Of course." Yvonne didn't blush and folded his arms, "My eldest brother spent 2 years learning Chinese for a woman, and now Chinese can speak better than Chinese, not only that, but he has also practiced good calligraphy." For one of the woman's favorite dishes, he opened a restaurant and gave her the ruby, a symbol of our family's highest honor and status. β
As she spoke, she sneered, and a clear hatred appeared in her eyes as she stared at me, "It's a pity that that woman is a wolf-hearted slut who treats my brother's love for her as a grass." β
If I usually heard her say such things, I wouldn't feel anything, but at this moment, for some reason, I felt an unusually uncomfortable feeling in my heart, and I subconsciously frowned slightly, "That's also your brother's willingness, no one forced him." Love is not an equivalent exchange, your brother pays for that woman, does that woman have to love him? Absurd! β
Lou Anqi took a bite of the cookie, "That's it!" If you pay for it, you will be rewarded, which law says?! β
Seeing me and Lou Anqi choking her singing and choking, Yvonne snorted coldly. I continued to throw out my own opinion, "True love is the fulfillment of the happiness of the other person at any cost, not to ask for anything in return, let alone possession and conspiracy to plunder." β
As soon as I finished speaking, Yvonne's face froze, and she could tell that I was alluding to her. But am I not just alluding to her alone? I moved my gaze to Zheng Ke'er, "Ke'er, are you right?" β
Probably didn't expect me to suddenly throw the conversation to her, but even more so because of the weakness of my heart, Zheng Ke'er's hand that had just picked up the cup and was about to drink suddenly slammed, and her face was even more ugly than Yvonne's. But after all, she was a master of disguise, and soon she regained her composure and let out a warm soft smile, "That's right, you're right." β
I looked at her and smiled coldly inwardly.
At this time, the mobile phone in my handbag vibrated a few times, I took it out and clicked on it, and a line of words came into view: everything is ready.
I hooked my lips and looked at Zheng Ke'er, Zheng Ke'er didn't notice anything unusual, and was picking up a small cake from the plate in Xiaofeng's hand.
The smile on my lips deepened a little more, and I texted another number and put my phone back in my bag. As soon as I looked up, I saw Yvonne's gaze fixed behind me, looking nervous and afraid. I was a little puzzled, and before I could turn my head, a tall body was already standing beside me, and when I turned my head, it was Zhai Jin.
With his hands in his pockets, he stared straight at Yvonne, a dark brown glimmer of darkness in his eyes. Yvonne looked at him fixedly, his face as white as paper, and he seemed to swallow with difficulty.
"Why are you here?" Lou Anqi stared at Zhai Jin with wide eyes in disbelief, and the cookies in her hand also fell to the ground.
Zhai Jin's yin owl's eyes swept over her, and his handsome face did not have a trace of expression, let alone answer her.
His arrogant and contemptuous attitude made Lou Anqi a little angry, "Who allowed you to come?" I advise you to get out early, otherwise Brother Shaotang will definitely be polite to you if he knows! β
"Angel, don't talk nonsense!" Yvonne pulled Lou Anqi's arm, her expression was even more frightened than just now, and she looked at Zhai Jin cautiously.
I wonder why Yvonne is so afraid of Zhai Jin, although Zhai Jin does exude a cold aura around him at this moment, but it is not to the point of being frightened.
I looked at Yvonne and Zhai Jin respectively, and suddenly felt that their eyebrows and eyes were a little similar, especially the deep and charming, jewel-like dark brown eyes, and the sexy and slightly curled thin lips.
"What are you afraid of?!" Lou Anqi's unhappy voice interrupted my doubtful thoughts, she looked at Yvonne, then at Zhai Jin, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked uncertainly, "You two know each other?" β
Yvonne's apricot eyes widened, as if frightened, "I don't know! β
She was really abnormal today, I squinted my eyes suspiciously and stared at her, but she had lowered her head slightly, and I couldn't see her expression, so I had to turn my face to look at Zhai Jin.
Zhai Jin's face was unwavering, his expression was calm, and he didn't take Lou Anqi's doubts about his relationship with Yvonne seriously at all.
I thought for a moment, thinking that they shouldn't know each other, otherwise Zhai Jin would not have been so cold to Yvonne. In fact, foreigners all look similar. Thinking about it this way, my inner doubts were dispelled.
At this time, Xia Peiyun's personal servant walked up to Lou Anqi's side, "Miss, the second lady asked you to come over." β
Her head tilted in the direction she had come from, and our attention was instantly diverted to follow her gaze.
I saw Xia Peiyun looking at us, she gave me a fierce look, and then motioned for Lou Anqi to come to her with her eyes.
Seeing this, Yvonne hurriedly took Lou Anqi's hand, "Let's go, Mom called us." β
Lou Anqi snorted at Zhai Jin angrily, and was reluctantly pulled away by Yvonne.
As soon as they left, Zheng Keer immediately said to me: "I'll go to the bathroom, you guys talk slowly." β
"What were you guys talking about?"
Zhai Jin's question slipped past my ears, and my gaze retracted from the backs of Zheng Ke'er and Xiaofeng leaving.
"I thought you weren't interested." I tugged at my lips.
Zhai Jin's cold eyebrows and eyes were long gone, the corners of his mouth hooked up the usual ruffian smile, and he picked up a glass of orange juice and handed it to me, "As long as it's your business, I won't be interested in it." β
I slurped, "It's nothing, it's just Yvonne talking about her brother." β
Zhai Jin shook his hand playing with the goblet, "What's wrong with her brother?" β
Looking at his undiminished smile, I said, "She said that her brother had paid a lot to learn Chinese for a woman, but the woman was indifferent." β
Zhai Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, pushed his mouth down, and put the cup back on the table, "Then do you think his brother is worth it?" Would the woman accept it? β
"Me?" I glanced at him, and saw that his expression seemed to want to know my answer, and I chuckled, "It depends on whether his brother is handsome or not." β
"What if you're handsome?" He put one hand in his pocket, and his posture was uninhibited and handsome.
I immediately laughed and replied, "It depends on whether he is good at bed." β
"What if it was good?"
"That's worth considering."
A happy smile jumped on Zhai Jin's face, "Yes, really?" β
Fake, of course!
If I accept a man's love based on these two points alone, then I am too superficial.
I smiled and was noncommittal. But I'm sure Zhai Jin won't fail to hear that I'm joking.
Looking down at my watch, it was almost time for the show to begin, and I slowly looked around the venue, and when my eyes moved to the opposite side, I unexpectedly collided with a pair of burning eyes.
