Chapter Seventy-Eight: Maintenance
Zheng Xiyao unconsciously took a step forward.
"Arthur, what are you doing? Can't get it yet? Freya, beside Hawke, waved at them.
Arthur obviously showed off: "I'm sorry, my friend looked for me, I left first." β
Zheng Xiyao lowered her eyes and picked up the champagne on the table.
System schadenfreude: [I feel that the male protagonist did it on purpose. γ
[So what, there is no place for me by his side, so what does it matter if I go or not? γ
She glanced at the star-studded man holding the moon, cleared her mind, and drank the wine in her glass.
"Yo, who is this?" A richly dressed woman approached her. Zheng Xiyao only felt familiar when she looked at the visitor, but she couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Hello." She replied lightly.
"It seems that Miss Zheng doesn't remember me, but I remember the funny wedding at Lyles Star two years ago." The woman was excited, as if she had caught her handle.
Hearing this, Zheng Xiyao stared coldly at the ill-intentioned woman, and began to whisper in the direction of the surrounding lookers.
She frowned at the wine glass in her hand, put her hands around her chest, and asked slowly, "Who are you?" β
"You!" The angry woman gritted her teeth and said, "What do you have to be proud of, and you don't want to think about what you did back then, and you dare to come here?" Why do you still think that your Zheng family is the Zheng family that Lyles covers the sky with one hand? I don't want to think about it, the person who was abandoned by you can now make your entire Zheng family disappear with just a finger. β
Zheng Xiyao pursed her lips and said in a cold tone: "But what does this have to do with you?" β
ββ¦β¦β
"What's going on?"
"Yes, is Mrs. Lanchester arguing with Miss Zheng?"
"They are too rude on such an important occasion."
The surrounding discussions made the woman named Lanchester angry, she suddenly grabbed Zheng Xiyao's arm and said viciously: "You cheap woman, you are really shameless, I will teach you a lesson." He raised his hand to hit her.
Zheng Xiyao's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Look for death." β
Then he grabbed the woman with a clean backhand and grabbed her left hand, stretched forward with his right foot, pinned the woman's leg, and grabbed the woman's right hand with the other hand and pinned it firmly behind her.
Mrs. Lanchester was pressed against the table by her in embarrassment, and there was no backhand.
"Ahh The people around were stunned when they saw this scene. I didn't expect Zheng Xiyao to be able to suppress Mrs. Lanchester easily.
The key is where is it? This is the birthday banquet of the head of state, and she dared to act in front of so many dignitaries as the daughter of the Zheng family, who has lost power, and this courage is not ordinary.
[Host, awesome! The system applauded.
[That is, I don't want to think about who I am, once I was the one who survived the catastrophe, and the mutant beasts didn't know how many they killed, so the weak chicken dared to jump in front of me. γ
Zheng Xiyao didn't take Mrs. Lanchester seriously at all, if it weren't for the fact that this woman was yelling in front of her when she was in a bad mood, she wouldn't have made a move.
[Still, host, things are a little bad right now.] ] system reminder.
Zheng Xiyao realized that her actions had become the focus of the banquet. All eyes were on her.
Zheng Xiyao didn't care, but was looking for something, when she saw the man, she didn't know if it was her mistake, she felt that a smile seemed to flash in Hawke's eyes.
While she was still suspicious, Mrs. Lanchester took advantage of her inattention, broke free, and ran towards the male protagonist Hawke.
"Your Excellency, save me." The woman wanted to get close to Hawke as if she had seen a life-saving straw, but was stopped by the guards beside her.
But Lanchester struggled forward as if he hadn't seen it: "She, don't you remember? That one...... Not. Hawke raised his hand and ordered Mrs. Lanchester's mouth to be covered, completely ignoring the woman's pleas, and instead looked at Zheng Xiyao, who was standing stupidly not far away.
"Come here." The man said in a deep voice.
Zheng Xiyao was stunned for a moment, didn't react for a while, and subconsciously looked around thinking that the man was comparing others.
"What are you rubbing, my Miss Zheng." The male protagonist frowned impatiently.
Zheng Xiyao was sure that Hawke was really calling her.
She hesitated and refused to step forward, [System, do you think I should go over? γ
[Now in this case, you have no choice of host.] The system answers.
This is also true, even if she doesn't go over now, she can be regarded as 'famous' at this banquet.
Hawke looked at the woman's hesitant appearance amusedly, this was the first time he had seen Zheng Xiyao's 'timid' appearance.
Zheng Xiyao walked into Hawke slowly, and shook it without hesitation at the moment when Hawke stretched it out.
She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong with you today?" is so easy to talk to" She ruined his banquet, and the male protagonist even had to defend her.
"What do you say?" Hawke asked softly, "My fiancΓ©e." β
Zheng Xiyao was dumbfounded. I didn't expect him to have this benefit as this 'fake fiancΓ©e'.
Behind her, Freya stared incredulously at Hawke, who had never been smiling, and asked Arthur beside her in shock: "What is their relationship?" β
Arthur: "Ex-girlfriend should I say?" β
"Ex-girlfriend? Is it ......? β
"You're right, it's that person." Arthur confirms Freya's suspicions.
Freya stared at her big beautiful eyes with the same expression she had done. Arthur saw that Freya was curious, and his body was already unconsciously trying to get close to Zheng Xiyao, so he decisively grabbed her, "You'd better not provoke her, that woman can't even get Hawke." β
Freya heard Arthur's persuasion, and her heart was even more curious.
At this point, Hawke waved the guards to let go of Mrs. Lanchester.
Mrs. Lanchester looked at Hawke blankly and took Zheng Xiyao's hand and muttered, "You guys? β
Hawke deliberately pulled Zheng Xiyao down in front of him, and calmly said to the woman with a dead face: "I took her to apologize to you for the matter just now, can Mrs. forgive Yaoyao for her rudeness?" β
"No, no. It was my rudeness that came first, and I ......" Mrs. Lanchester was cowardly and helpless.
Seeing this, Zheng Xiyao immediately interrupted: "No need to apologize, I won't accept it." Let's go. The woman was stunned, but she didn't expect Zheng Xiyao to give up humiliating her.
Hawke squeezed her hand, "Really let her go like that?" β
"I already taught her a lesson before you made a move. We're clear. Zheng Xiyao replied seriously.
"You really have a grudge." He paused for a moment and continued, "What about between us. The man asked as he stared at her earnestly.
Zheng Xiyao glared at the innocent purple eyes, "Isn't it clear between us, Your Excellency." "Man
Staring at her deeply, his eyes deep and dark, a strong emotion.
"When are we clear?"
"What?"
"FiancΓ©e ......"
"Uh..."
Zheng Xiyao looked at the man's expression at this time, and had a bad premonition in his heart.
