Chapter 16: The Birthday Banquet
In a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of being a bodyguard, and because of a new agreement, Song Xiao still stayed in the Jiang family.
After dinner that day, Jiang Qiuying went downstairs to find Song Xiao, who was about to start cultivating.
"Brother Song, there is something ......" The cold girl was rarely a little shy, and looked at Song Xiao and stopped.
"Huh? What do you say? Song Xiao didn't think about anything else.
After getting along for half a month, there is no ambiguous relationship between the two as many people imagine, but more like brother and sister.
"I have a very good friend who is also from our school, and he is one year higher than me."
"Tomorrow's birthday, I plan to hold a birthday party in her manor outside the city, and I invite many friends to attend."
"She told me before, but I wasn't in a good situation at the time, so I didn't agree, and she sent me messages one after another in the past two days......"
Jiang Qiuying looked at Song Xiao with some embarrassment: "I'm afraid that there will be problems if I go, but if I refuse, she will definitely be unhappy, not many people know about my affairs......"
Song Xiao didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously.
Since the first day of defeating that ghost cultivator, Jiang Qiuying's side has been much cleaner these days.
But that doesn't mean no one is staring at her.
In fact, you can see some sneaky figures every day, following from afar.
It's hard to say what those drifts are thinking.
If you are completely concerned about Jiang Qiuying's safety, there is a reason to refuse.
At least until she has successfully built the foundation, it is best not to participate in any activities that could give birth to danger.
But people always have to socialize and socialize.
You can't just walk at night because you're afraid of ghosts.
Especially the children of chaebol families like Jiang Qiuying bear responsibilities that ordinary people do not have.
"Brother, if you are embarrassed...... Even so, I don't feel very stable in my own heart. Jiang Qiuying said softly: "I have been very happy these days, and I really shouldn't ...... anymore."
"Day or night?" Song Xiao looked up at her and asked.
"Starting at noon tomorrow, there will be a bonfire party in the evening...... Jiang Qiuying replied quickly.
"Do you want to go?" Song Xiao looked at her and asked with a smile.
"Hmm...... Yes, sort of. Jiang Qiuying was a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I don't have many friends, I have known Miao Miao since I was a child, and I didn't dare to walk around because of those reasons before......"
Song Xiao nodded, also a little pity for this girl.
Thinking about himself, if he hadn't met Master since he was a child, what would he be like now?
"Do your parents know about this?"
Jiang Daoming and his family are very busy, and they rarely go back here.
Jiang Qiuying nodded: "I told them, and they said to listen to Brother Song." β
"Well, let's go tomorrow at noon and come back early in the evening, what do you think?"
"Okay!" Jiang Qiuying replied very quickly, with a look of excitement.
Then he was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to trouble you......"
"No trouble." Song Xiao smiled and shook her head.
Early the next morning, Jiang Qiuying rarely dressed herself up beautifully.
Wearing some light makeup, wearing a beautiful little dress, revealing two fair and slender legs, a pair of half-heeled sandals on the feet, and nails dyed bright red cardamom.
Youthful, delicate and beautiful.
There is a lot less cold atmosphere.
"It's beautiful!" Song Xiao praised it heartily.
"Thank you!" Jiang Qiuying said with a red face.
Then the two drove and followed the navigation to Li Miaomiao's manor in the suburbs.
The Jiang family's security personnel, as always, drove another car to follow.
On the way, Song Xiao also paid attention to observation, and found nothing abnormal, and was relieved.
The two arrived at about eleven a.m.
From a distance, I saw that on the parking lot of the manor, there were all kinds of famous cars parked, and many people had already come here.
Several huge pergolas have been erected on the flat grass, barbecue grills have been erected, and firewood for the campfire has already been piled up in the evening.
It looks spectacular.
Not far away, a tall young girl in a princess dress greeted her from afar, surrounded by a group of people.
The moment she saw Jiang Qiuying, a bright smile appeared on the face of the girl in the princess dress.
"Shadow, you're finally here!"
"Miao Miao, happy birthday!"
Jiang Qiuying immediately sent the birthday gift that had been prepared a long time ago, and walked over to hug Li Miaomiao.
Li Miaomiao saw Song Xiao getting off the car at this time, her eyes lit up first, and then she was slightly stunned.
asked softly in Jiang Qiuying's ear, "You and Senior Song Xiao...... It's true? β
Jiang Qiuying was speechless: "Do you know him?" What is really, don't talk nonsense. β
Li Miaomiao said: "Of course I know him!" You know Qin Chengcheng, who is in the same class as me, right? The most beautiful one, it seems to be his girlfriend! β
Jiang Qiuying suddenly remembered the scene when Song Xiao was stopped when she accompanied her to school that day, and suddenly said, "So that's the case......"
"Gee, I said can you have a snack? What does it mean to be like this? You're stupid all day, don't be fooled! β
Li Miaomiao was also born in a big family, with a noble birth and a straightforward temperament, and rarely hides her emotions.
"It's not what you think, Brother Song is the person my father invited to protect me." Jiang Qiuying explained helplessly.
He...... Protect you??
Li Miaomiao took a deep look at Song Xiao, who was tall and handsome not far away, but she didn't believe it very much in her heart.
As a friend she has known since she was a child, she knows very well how terrifying Jiang Qiuying's talent is, and she has seen Jiang Qiuying when she was a little girl more than once, instantly freezing a pool of water!
A proper goddess of ice.
Besides, the Jiang family's security personnel are not vegetarians, so they need to ask an outsider to protect them?
Could it be that Mr. Jiang was fooled and wanted Song Xiao to be his son-in-law, so he deliberately created an opportunity for the two to get in touch?
It's just that it's a little hard to say.
Song Xiao didn't come to Jiang Qiuying's side, but watched everyone here.
This is not so much a gathering of a group of rich second generations, but rather a gathering of young cultivators.
Almost all of them have strong spiritual power fluctuations on their bodies.
A small number of people with weak spiritual power fluctuations also carry various magic weapons on their bodies.
Obviously, this is a small circle that belongs to the cultivation world.
Jiang Qiuying told him when he came that Li Miaomiao, the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, is the richest man in Nanjiang County...... The daughter of the Li chaebol at the helm.
Most of the people who can come to participate are the children of major families in China.
Because of her own reasons, she hasn't had much contact with this group of people over the years, but she knows most of them.
It was noon, and the sun was scorching.
Except for the eternal mountains and rivers in Song Xiao's eyes in the high sky, today is a rare good weather.
It could be seen that Jiang Qiuying was very happy, and was pulled by Li Miaomiao, and quickly integrated into that circle.
He also has a bright smile on his face that is rarely seen on weekdays.
Song Xiao observed for a while, but did not find that kind of suspicious existence, and gradually relaxed.
At this time, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old with a long body in suspenders suddenly appeared in front of him.
"You are Song Xiao?" The young man is very handsome and speaks very aggressively.
"You are?" Song Xiao looked at him.
"My name is Jiang Qiuhan!" The young man looked at Song Xiao, "Jiang Qiuying is my sister, dear!" β
"Oh." Song Xiao nodded, "Something?" β
"I warn you, although you are a master invited by my parents, it is best not to beat my sister's idea." Jiang Qiuhan said with a tiger face.
Song Xiao was immediately happy and said with a smile: "You are still in high school, right?" β
Jiang Qiuhan looked at him: "What?" β
Song Xiao said: "Do you want to give you a set of five-year mock three-year college entrance examination?" β
Jiang Qiuhan: "......"
Is this a human talk?
He looked at Song Xiao angrily: "Anyway, I warned you, don't hit my sister casually!" β
After saying that, he walked away like a little rooster with his head held high.
At this time, Jiang Qiuying suddenly called, Song Xiao glanced at her mobile phone, and looked up at Jiang Qiuying, who was dozens of meters away.
The little girl beckoned at him and pointed to the phone in her hand.
Song Xiao connected.
"I'm sorry, I was so happy just now that I forgot to introduce you to them, why don't you come here?"
"You just have fun, and I won't follow suit."
Song Xiao smiled and waved her hand at Jiang Qiuying over there, and then hung up the phone.
He knew what she meant, and wanted to help him expand his network.
Coming here today is either rich or expensive, and befriending these young people is almost equivalent to befriending the family behind them.
Song Xiao didn't want to have any intersection with these people.
A group of little kids who were still looking at him just now, and only knew that they were jealous, and he was not interested in getting to know him.
If you really want to pay it, you will also pay it to the elders in their family.
Although he didn't go over, Jiang Qiuying's action of calling him just now still attracted the attention of some people.
After a while, several sons and brothers who believed that they had a good family background came over to test them, and they were sent away lukewarmly by Song Xiao.
In the end, I was really annoyed, so I simply ran to chat with the security personnel of the Jiang family.
After more than half a month of contact, he is also quite familiar with these people.
Unlike those cultivators who think too highly of themselves, these elite warriors among ordinary people are very respectful to him, a "master".
It's obviously more enjoyable to talk to them.
When Song Xiao eats at noon, she eats "driver's meals" with these people.
In this way, those who felt that this handsome guy had something to do with Jiang Qiuying were finally relieved.
If it's really a boyfriend, it's impossible to get mixed up with the driver and security personnel, right?
The time flickered to more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
The sun had begun to set in the west, and a group of people were singing and dancing there, and the atmosphere was very joyful.
Jiang Qiuying was always pulled by Li Miaomiao, introducing her to those young children she didn't know.
occasionally glanced at Song Xiao's side, but they were quickly interrupted by the people who came up to greet him, and he could only deal with it helplessly.
The initial excitement was gone, and now I was a little tired.
But since he came, it was not good to leave the scene early at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and follow the energetic Li Miaomiao.
Song Xiao still did not relax her vigilance, and always kept an eye on everything here.
Suddenly.
He noticed that something was wrong with several of the people dressed as waiters.
Looking at it again, I couldn't help but gasp!
Boy...... Those few people dressed as waiters were all powerful ghost cultivators, dressed in human skins, and they blatantly blended in the crowd.
This is not the previous batch!
But apart from him, none of the young cultivators present had discovered this problem!
At this moment, these waiters are secretly observing Jiang Qiuying!
At the moment when Song Xiao stared at them, several ghost cultivators were aware of it almost at the same time.
One of them, carrying a tray, walked straight to deliver the wine with a smile on his face.
There had been before, so it wasn't abrupt for this person to come.
He came to Song Xiao, and a cold and calm spiritual thought passed into Song Xiao's mind-
"Boy, you'd better not see anything, or I'll kill you!"
Then he sent the tray to Song Xiao and bowed slightly: "Sir, please choose." β
Song Xiao looked at him coldly: "No." β
The waiter walked away disapprerovingly.
Leaving behind a threatening spiritual thoughtβ
"Don't give face, don't give face!"
