The Bentley parked outside the Li family's large villa.

Old Chen opened the car door for Qiao Xi. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw the elegant old lady walking out of the hall. She looked meticulous, not even a hair was missing from her bun, but the eyes looking at her were particularly kind.

"It must be Girl Qiao!"

Mrs. Li held Qiao Xi's hand and said, "You have been tired all the way. Go home and have a sip of hot tea. Please come in with these two."

Qiao Xi nodded obediently and introduced the identities of Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen to Mrs. Li.

"Come in, everyone. The kitchen has prepared some authentic imperial dishes. I don't know if you like it." Mrs. Li enthusiastically took Qiao Xi's hand and walked inside, not forgetting to tell her granddaughter, "Nian Qi, let the kitchen prepare it." Serve.”

"Got it, grandma."

Li Nianqi felt even more sad when she saw Qiao Xi with her own eyes.

Why is she so beautiful? Even in the imperial capital where there are so many beauties, she stands out.

Not to mention that she is still an apprentice of Chinese medicine, and she is also the daughter of the Liu family and the young lady of the Huo family.

She subconsciously touched her face, which could only be described as delicate. Because of this face, she felt inferior in the circle of powerful people, so she could only regain some of her temperament by acting like a lady.

Old Mrs. Li smiled and introduced to Qiao Xi: "That's my granddaughter. She is accompanying me in the imperial capital. She has no skills, and everything she learns is mediocre, but she is obedient and sensible. No one else in the family is here, only us. Grandparents and grandchildren. Even if you stay here, you can still make the family more popular."

When Li Nianqi heard this comment, he walked faster.

Qiao Xi and Mr. Sun looked at each other without making any comments.

She was pulled into the large villa by the old lady. The interior was decorated in a very Chinese style of wealth and grandeur. Those chairs and cabinets are all made of precious wood, which gives them an air of nobility.

The dining table is large, the tableware has been placed neatly, and there are beautiful flowers arranged and decorated.

It seems that the Li family is very particular about ritual and etiquette.

"Come, sit next to me. As soon as I saw you, I felt destined and liked you." Mrs. Li really likes Qiao Xi, she is well-behaved and beautiful. It turned out that I always heard the old lady from the Liu family calling me to praise Qiao Xi.

She had the first impression and was full of good impressions.

Qiao Xi obeyed her wishes and sat next to her.

The servants served carefully cooked dishes one after another, including braised mackerel, three delicacies with deer antlers, braised shark's fin, etc.

All are hard vegetables.

Everyone had already taken their seats, and Li Nianqi sat in the seat farthest from the old lady. She usually sits there because grandma said that everyone has a different seat at home and it is a rule not to change it at will.

It can be seen that Li Nianqi's eyes turned red with jealousy when she saw Qiao Xi sitting next to her, as affectionate as if she were her own grandparents.

"Girl Qiao, give it a try and see if it suits your taste. I asked a famous chef from the Royal Capital Hotel to make this table dish. It tastes pretty good."

"Thank you, Mrs. Li."

"Whatever you call me, old lady, just call me grandma."

Qiao Xi smiled, picked up her chopsticks and took a few bites of the food. The flavor of Imperial Capital is indeed very different from that of Haicheng, but they are both delicious.

At the table, Mrs. Li kept talking about the past.

During the most turbulent period, she was sent to the countryside of Haicheng because of composition issues.

It was the Liu family who helped her and gave her a way to survive. Finally, she returned to the imperial capital to accompany her husband to revive the family.

She has always been thinking about the kindness of the Liu family.

Qiao Xi also liked her more and more, especially after finding out that she didn't have those bad habits of being arrogant and licentious, and that her speech and personality were lovable, and she wished she could recognize her as a step-granddaughter on the spot.

"I've asked the servants to clean up the room. You can treat this place as your own home. You can stay here as long as you want."

After hearing what she said, Qiao Xi smiled and said, "Grandma Li, we are bothering you here, but I always feel..."

Mrs. Li quickly said: "You don't have to feel embarrassed, I should take care of you."

Mrs. Li gave up her old face to take over the Liu family's jewelry store for the sake of the family's development. She also felt guilty and wanted to take good care of Qiao Xi.

She hasn't told her family about this yet, and she still feels like she can't speak out.

"grandmother."

Li Nianqi held the chopsticks with her green hands and couldn't help but say a sour word, "She is Mrs. Huo, and she is the only daughter of the Liu family in this generation. Why should she live under someone else's roof? Doesn't it mean that the Huo family doesn't even have a property in the imperial capital?" ?"

"Nian Qi."

Grandma Li called her a warning, her face looking a little ugly.

Li Nianqi put down her chopsticks, stood up and said with a sigh of relief: "I'm sorry, grandma. I'm going to kneel in the small ancestral hall."

She left the table in a hurry, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became colder.

Qiao Xi put down the bowl and chopsticks.

She originally wanted to say "I won't bother you tonight", but after two days, she asked Lao Chen to clean up the villa.

But he didn't expect that Li Nianqi would misunderstand his meaning.

In this case, there is no need for her to stay at Li's house for one or two nights.

It's time to go tonight!

Qiao Xi handed Mrs. Li a step: "My husband will go to the Imperial Capital next week, and it will not be convenient to stay at your house then. Besides, the Huo family's garden villa is also in this wealthy area."

Mrs. Li nodded helplessly: "Then I won't force you to stay. You must remember to visit me often in the future. I can't live up to my old sister's instructions. You can come to me if you encounter any difficulties. Tonight let me You are laughing, I will ask Nian Qi to apologize to you another day."

"There's no need to apologize, I don't care."

He is just an irrelevant person, not to mention that the bond between ancestors and grandchildren is naturally deeper than that of an outsider like her, so why embarrass the old lady.

Qiao Xi chatted with her for a few words and then said it was getting late and she had to leave to clean up in the villa first.

Mrs. Li was too embarrassed to keep her, so she had no choice but to let her go.

Qiao Xi and the other three walked out of Li's house and got into the car.

Old Chen comforted him: "Young madam, don't worry. The young master has already asked me to make preparations. The villa has been cleaned and servants and chefs have been hired. We can rest as soon as we enter."

Sun Weimeng couldn't help but praise: "Huo Xingzhou is so considerate. I thought I would have to work until very late today. Didn't you see how bad that Li Nianqi looked? He obviously didn't welcome outsiders like us, and he really treated himself like a dish. "

Sun Weimeng was a little angry.

A little girl was still showing off.

Qiao Xi comforted her: "Master Sun, don't be angry. Even if we stay at the Li family, we won't be able to stay there for long."

"I'm not worth it for you! The Li family took over a jewelry store, and they showed off after getting an advantage, as if we took advantage of them! Next time I meet that Li Nianqi, I will scold her severely. "

Qiao Xi laughed softly.

The car turned a corner and arrived at the exquisite garden of a small villa, which was very neatly kept. The lights were still on inside, the door of the villa was open on both sides, and a servant came out to greet him when he heard the noise.

"Welcome home, young lady, my name is Xiao Yuan."

Qiao Xi entered the house and found that most of the decorations here were similar to the small villa in Haicheng, as if she had really returned home.

"Are you tired, young lady? I have put the bath water for you. You go and take a bath first."

"it is good."

Qiao Xi couldn't resist the kindness, so she left Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen to their own devices and followed the maid to the second floor.

"Young lady, this is the master bedroom. Seasonal clothes and daily necessities are prepared in it. If you need anything, just ask me."

Qiao Xi nodded, "Sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Yuan cleaned up for her, and when she saw that nothing happened, she closed the door and left. Qiao Xi looked around, picked up her pajamas and mobile phone and entered the bathroom.

She took off her clothes and soaked in the tub, letting out a sigh of relief.

She leaned against the edge of the bathtub. The hot water in the bathtub was emitting dense steam, and small water droplets condensed on the surrounding walls.

In the dead of night.

I miss Huo Xingzhou!

Her eyes fell on the mobile phone on the alcove shelf.
