Chapter 372: Going to the banquet with the fourth brother

Not long after receiving the invitation, Murong Qiao went to knock on the door of the fourth brother Yanxiu.

"Something?" Yan Xiu opened the door and asked her.

He was still standing a little gray, looking like pencil gray, and it looked like he was still drawing.

Murong Qiao took out the invitation card, "Ahem...... The engagement invitation sent by the Ruan family is Ruan Ying's, is the fourth brother going? ”

"The Ruan family?" Inkstone repair repeated.

His eyes fell on the gilded invitation in his sister's hand, and he was silent for a long time and didn't remember who Ruan Ying was.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yan Xiu, who simply gave up, shifted his gaze to Murong Qiao's body again, looking at her somewhat hesitant look, and the words that he originally wanted to refuse stopped at his lips.

The eldest brother is not there, and it is the engagement of the Ruan family again......

Yan Xiu thought about it a lot, and even thought of the scene of Murong Qiao being bullied if he went to the engagement alone.

Murong Qiao couldn't eat Yan Xiu either, standing at the door at this time, he could only wait for him to reply.

"I'll go." The inkstone cultivator made the god agree.

When the others weren't there, he couldn't let Murong Qiao go alone.

Murong Qiao was originally mentally prepared to go alone, but he didn't expect Feng to turn around and hear the voice of the fourth brother agreeing.

"That'...... Good. She swerved back.

Seeing this, Yan Xiu didn't say much, "If there is nothing else, I will continue to design." ”

He was only halfway through the design in his hand, and he waited for no one to be inspired.

Murong Qiao naturally had nothing to say, and when he nodded, he saw that as soon as the fourth brother Yan Xiu closed the door, there was no movement inside.

After staring at the tightly closed door for a while, Murong Qiao also sorted out his mood and went back to his room.

The engagement banquet can never be ambiguous, she represents the entire Murong family.

As soon as the time turned to the date of the invitation, although the banquet time was scheduled for the evening, most of them arrived early and socialized with each other, which became the home of many businessmen.

Since Huo Xiuyuan was the protagonist, he came to the banquet hall early and began to greet everyone.

On the other hand, Huo Yichen followed Huo Hong to the scene, but in the end, it was the Huo family, and it gained a lot of attention as soon as he entered.

"Congratulations, congratulations, ......"

"Such a happy event should be blessed with good wishes......"

Many people gathered around, all of them were flattering words, taking the opportunity to curry favor with Huo Hong.

Huo Yichen left Huo Hong's side first under the pretext of going to the toilet, after all, he was just a false and wronged person there, and then his eyes fell on the crowded crowd of people at the banquet, and Murong Qiao, who was not far away, "coincidentally" met his gaze.

"......" Murong Qiao's eyes bent slightly.

She didn't speak, only glanced at Huo Yichen from a distance to confirm each other's existence, smiled silently, and stood beside the fourth brother Yan Xiu holding a wine glass to weaken her sense of existence.

Due to Huo Hong's presence, the two naturally couldn't be too close.

Huo Yichen suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and was about to look away and turn to leave, but was blocked by a figure in front of him.

"What? At this time, the reversal is upside down? Huo Xiuyuan looked at him proudly.

Huo Yichen looked back expressionlessly, "I don't understand what you're saying." ”

Nowadays, there are many people, and his words and deeds are probably being monitored, and Huo Yichen is so cautious that he can be called a drop of water.

"It's okay if you don't understand, just come to my engagement." Huo Xiuyuan smiled, "After all, we are together in the open." ”

The latter sentence, he said almost in a volume so weak that only he and Huo Yichen could hear it clearly.

Huo Xiuyuan smiled playfully, and his gaze pretended to inadvertently sweep over Murong Qiao in another place.

Seeing that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao seemed to be strangers at this time, he couldn't have been happier.

"Who is this for?" Huo Yichen does not fall behind.

He looked in Ruan Ying's direction as if he was threatening, the little girl was innocently standing beside the Ruan family's parents and greeting people she knew, and she didn't notice the situation on Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen's side for a while.

Huo Xiuyuan's face changed, "What do you mean?"

Huo Yichen's words made Huo Xiuyuan a little jealous, but the engagement was close at hand, which can be called a sure victory, Huo Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, and then decided that Huo Yichen was a sour bluff.

Coupled with the fact that he hesitated for a while, Ruan Ying seemed to look at Huo Xiuyuan's side faintly, which made him even more determined not to let Huo Yichen and Ruan Ying meet.

"I'm very busy today, so I don't have time to talk to you." Huo Xiuyuan said with a cold face.

Even if it's just a little risk of overturning, he won't allow it.

Huo Xiuyuan turned around and walked away, and just a few steps before he met Ruan Ying who was walking towards him.

"Xiuyuan?" Ruan Ying called him, "Who is that?" ”

Huo Xiuyuan raised a gentle smile, "It's not an important person." ”

He said a word, and at the same time used his body to block Ruan Ying's curious gaze at Huo Yichen.

Although Huo Xiuyuan didn't want to admit it, he was really afraid that Ruan Ying would have some other thoughts after seeing Huo Yichen.

Like what...... Fall in love with Huo Yichen.

Thinking of this possibility, Huo Xiuyuan grinded his teeth, a trace of irritation crossed his eyes, and he reached out to grab Ruan Ying's body and forcibly twisted the other party's vision.

"Speaking of which, I haven't met much with your family......" Huo Xiuyuan casually made an excuse and took Ruan Ying away.

From the beginning to the end, from Huo Xiuyuan talking to Huo Yichen to Ruan Ying being taken away without knowing it, all of them were taken into the eyes of Murong Qiao, who was standing on the side.

She hid the mockery in her eyes by lowering her eyes to look at the wine glass, and after watching Huo Xiuyuan's performance for a while, she had to admit that he was not tired of living this life.

“…… I went to the bathroom. The fourth brother Yan Xiu beside him suddenly spoke.

The unbearable tone and the appearance of a calm face with a frowning brow showed that he was in a very irritable mood at the moment.

In such a noisy environment, boiling human voices almost filled his brain, and it was so noisy.

Murong Qiao was stunned for a moment and reacted, "Okay." ”

She nodded, and then saw the fourth brother walking towards the corridor on the side, although his face was calm, Murong Qiao always felt that he was a little impatient?

Thinking of the fourth brother's somewhat "socially phobic" character, Murong Qiao probably guessed that he was not very suitable for such an occasion.

"You're also here to find Yan Xiu?" An arrogant female voice suddenly fell on Murong Qiao's ears.

The arrogance revealed in the other party's tone made Murong Qiao subconsciously a little disliked.

She frowned, then turned back, "Also?" ”

She repeats the other person's words, and at the same time sees the other person's appearance clearly.

looked like a woman in her thirties, wearing a black regular dress, the makeup on her face was so thick that people didn't know how to evaluate it, and looking at Murong Qiao's eyes were also hostile, and the whole gave people an uncomfortable feeling.

"I advise you to save your efforts." The woman sneered.

She seemed to take Murong Qiao's rhetorical question as a tacit meaning, and looked at Murong Qiao's whole person from top to bottom, as if she wanted to dissect her inside.

The woman carried her expensive limited edition bag, "We have been negotiating the cooperation of Yanxiu for a long time. ”

The tone was as firm as if it were a certainty, but Murong Qiao only felt that this person was inexplicable.

"I haven't reported myself for so long, and such an uneducated person is embarrassed to talk about cooperation?" Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You!" The woman was angry.

Fortunately, she then signed up, "Tang Sha." ”

In just two words, it made her read the meaning of arrogance.

Murong Qiao looked around in his few memories, but he didn't find any information about him.

Probably unrelated people, she judged herself in her heart.
