in the living room.
Young Master Sun drank hot tea and looked at Li Nianqi who had a complicated expression in front of him. She was obviously a little restless and looked in the direction of the stairs from time to time. Hearing no movement, he became more and more impatient.
Mr. Sun took another sip of tea and said in a mocking tone, "You are not beautiful to begin with, but you look even uglier when you frown."
"you……"
Li Nianqi hates people saying she is not good-looking.
Her facial features are indeed not outstanding, and among ordinary people she can only be regarded as a little girl. Not to mention the rich and powerful family with many beauties. She usually acts as a green leaf at banquets.
Sun Weimeng's words hit her sore spot accurately.
Li Nianqi held it in for a long time. She knelt in the small ancestral hall for two hours last night and was scolded by her grandma. I was rushed here this morning to apologize and bring a mission from my grandma.
But after waiting for so long, Qiao Xi was nowhere to be seen.
The anger in his heart was even worse.
"When will she come down? Are you just going to let the guests wait in vain?" Without Old Mrs. Li's restraint, Li Nianqi's anger exploded.
She is someone who bullies the weak and fears the strong. Seeing that Qiao Xi is beautiful and gentle, she feels that she is a soft persimmon who can be manipulated.
Coupled with the dissatisfaction in the heart, it is even more likely to start a prairie fire.
Young Master Sun placed the tea cup heavily on the coffee table and said: "Who do you think you are as a guest? Are you coming to apologize or looking for trouble? If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have something to say, let it go. Young Master, I only like beauties, you are so clear and waterless. It's really not worth wasting my time.
I really don’t know where your inexplicable hostility comes from. Is it because you are jealous that our Qiao Xi is popular and beautiful? "
Li Nianqi's cheeks turned red, and she was troubled.
Mr. Sun stretched out his finger and tapped his cheek: "Oh, it's true! You're calling ugly people more likely to cause trouble."
Li Nianqi stood up, fuming with anger: "You are obviously enjoying the preferential treatment from the Li family, but you still let my grandma please you and take everything for granted. Even if the Liu family saved my grandma, you are still juniors! Prepare the dishes for yesterday's table The whole day, but you didn’t even say a word of praise!”
Li Nianqi was just jealous that Qiao Xi could be favored by her grandma, even more than her own granddaughter.
Even the Guan family of the four major families in the imperial capital...
"so what?"
Sun Weimeng asked back, "It was your grandma who wanted to please Qiao Xi. She insisted on preparing such a sumptuous meal."
He looked at the stupid Li Nianqi in front of him and said sarcastically: "Didn't your grandma tell you why she wanted to please us? Looking at the old lady who is so rigid and traditional, did she let you down and let you break your defense? After all, your grandma is here for you. He was always majestic and harsh in front of me.”
Li Nianqi was confused. Is there any hidden secret?
Aren’t these Haicheng people ignorant of etiquette?
Sun Weimeng knew from her expression that the old lady didn't tell her the truth.
"Then let me tell you why. Because you, the descendants of the Li family, failed to live up to expectations, the old lady took over the Liu family's jewelry branch in the Imperial City. Isn't a jewelry store with an annual revenue of tens of millions not enough for us to eat? Your food is Made of gold?”
Even though the Li family has made a lot of money, they may not be able to help Qiao Xi in the imperial capital.
I just want to introduce some of the customs, family rankings and precautions of the imperial capital.
The Liu family has really been taken advantage of. They gave away a jewelry store for nothing and made people complain.
Li Nianqi's expression was stiff and her lips were trembling, unable to squeeze out a word.
what?
Grandma actually took over the Liu family’s jewelry store? The Liu family's jewelry store is also very famous in the imperial capital. Why didn't she tell her about this!
She was so ashamed that she couldn't say a word.
Qiao Xi walked from the stairs to the living room and saw Young Master Sun pointing at Li Nianqi's nose and scolding her.
She asked, "What's the matter?"
When Li Nianqi saw Qiao Xi, she became even more angry and ashamed.
Compared with others, the difference between her and others is just clouds and mud.
Whether it's looks, family background, or anything else. Humiliated by Sun Weimeng's words, she couldn't even lift her head in front of Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi's tone was soft but somewhat distant: "Miss Li, what are you doing here today?"
Li Nianqi's eyes averted, but he reluctantly straightened his back and tried to maintain his dignity: "I was rude last night, and I apologize to you. But I didn't know about the jewelry branch in advance, so it doesn't count as my fault."
Asking Li Nianqi to say that he was wrong was more difficult than cutting off flesh.
She bit her lip, took out a gilt and red invitation from her bag and stuffed it into Qiao Xi's hand.
"This is an invitation sent to my home by the Guan family. Tomorrow night is Grandpa Guan's [-]th birthday. I specifically stated that this invitation is for you."
Li Nianqi just wanted to complete the task assigned by her grandma as soon as possible and leave this place that made her feel uncomfortable.
"I have no friendship with the Guan family. You sent this invitation to the wrong person."
The invitation was a bit strange, it looked like a big hole was dug for her to jump into.
Li Nianqi looked at her beautiful face, hid the complicated emotions in her heart and said, "I don't care what's going on between you and the Guan family. But the messenger only said two words, Cheng Han. You decide whether to go or not. I'll leave first." ”
Li Nianqi left in a hurry, feeling as complicated as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
Qiao Xi pinched the invitation in her hand. The messenger specifically said the word "Cheng Han". Could it be that she knew that she was checking the whereabouts of Grandpa Cheng recently?
Many years ago, Grandpa Cheng also stayed in the Imperial Capital, and I don't know who his old friends are.
Is this seventy-year-old Mr. Guan good or bad?
Sun Weimeng peeled the orange and said, "Maybe it's the Hongmen Banquet. You are a disciple of Chinese medicine and have a good reputation. Huo Xingzhou told me that after you arrive in the imperial capital, there will definitely be some unknown forces who will invite you to come forward and test your attitude. Are you going to Should we face difficulties head-on, or should we retreat when we see difficulties?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips, looked at him and asked, "Then did he tell you how I should choose?"
If it is a neutral force, she can win over it. If it were the power of the Lu family, then she would take risks.
How to determine which side the Guan family belongs to?
Sun Weimeng thought of the text message he received last night and smiled teasingly: "He said you would definitely go with your personality."
Qiao Xi smiled, this news was related to Grandpa Cheng, she had to go there.
"So, you decided to go?"
"Ah."
Sun Weimeng threw the orange peel into the trash can and snapped his fingers: "Then let's go! He has already guessed what you are thinking. Order two sets of dresses first. This is my task! I'll go find the old man Chen prepares the car."
He, the most talented bitch, actually has a chance to rise to the top!
After half an hour.
Lao Chen drove the Bentley to the most upscale Ressa Mall in the center of the imperial capital. The car was rear-ended yesterday and was sent to be repaired overnight.
As soon as Mr. Sun got out of the car, he took Qiao Xi straight to the luxury brand on the top floor of the mall.
Unexpectedly, several people among the crowd in the shopping mall stared at their backs and picked up the phone to inform them.
The visitor is not good.
Dark tide surging.
