My newlywed husband is infertile, but I’m pregnant
Chapter 944 Who is prettier, me or Qiao Xi?
How lively is it?
Naturally, Pei Zheng went too.
Sun Weimeng looked at Qiao Xi and said, "Then you have to dress up well and steal their limelight."
"That's not necessary. They are not worth my concern." From what Huo Xingzhou said, Qiao Xi felt that something big might happen tonight.
The Li family invited many people, so if the Pei family came, they would not attract attention.
But at this critical moment, it is too sensitive.
The old shareholders of the Pei family want to sell their shares, and I heard that Pei Zheng must settle the accounts within three days.
This is a game!
Will Pei Zheng take the risk of smuggling within three days?
Or did he decide to take a more circuitous and safer route?
If you want to bring down the Pei family, you have to catch them in the act!
……
It's approaching evening.
The Li family’s old house is brightly lit.
The servants arranged the entire banquet hall in an orderly manner, placing all the champagne and delicacies. The Li family had not held a banquet for many years, so this one was quite hasty.
Old Madam Li was somewhat dissatisfied.
She didn't want to lose face in front of everyone, and she didn't agree with Li Chengyi inviting so many people to a party when he returned to China.
It is said to be a welcoming banquet, but what virtue do the Li family have?
But it was strange that all those wealthy families actually agreed. Although the old lady didn't know why, she instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
Li Cheng only said that the Li family had been doing well recently, so everyone was willing to give them face.
Old Mrs. Li had gray hair and walked slowly as she looked around the banquet hall.
There was no trace of joy on her face. She just pointed out the inappropriate parts of the banquet arrangement and asked the servants to make changes.
"Where's Nianqi?"
"The young lady is dressing upstairs."
Old Mrs. Li closed her eyes and looked a little annoyed. "Tell her not to come out to the party tonight."
"But... Mr. said there are many young talents tonight and he wanted to pick a good one for Miss. So he asked Miss to dress up well and even hired a famous makeup artist."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she became even more annoyed.
"Will the Huo family have any guests coming tonight?"
"Yes, I have received the letter."
Mrs. Li struggled for a long time before she said, "I won't be there tonight, but if anything happens in the front hall, please report it to me immediately. Especially about Nianqi, did you hear it?"
She knew what kind of person Li Nianqi was.
She was completely disappointed when she sent her abroad, but she didn't expect her son to bring her back.
She is also required to attend such an important occasion!
Aren’t you afraid that she will be embarrassed?
The imperial capital is in a mess, and the Li family's high-profile banquet at this time is like cooking oil on a raging fire.
Old Madam Li complained about her son's flamboyant behavior, but she couldn't stop him. She could foresee that the Li family would not gain any advantage in the imperial capital, but she was too old to change the situation, so she could only let her son do whatever he wanted.
That's it.
Out of sight is pure.
Old Mrs. Li walked upstairs step by step with her cane. Tonight's banquet had nothing to do with her.
As she was walking to the corridor on the second floor, she saw Li Nianqi walking out in a gorgeous outfit, surrounded by servants.
She was dressed very beautifully and looked a little different from before she went abroad.
Her facial features are more delicate, and her eyebrows and eyes are actually a bit like Qiao Xi.
"grandmother."
Li Nianqi called out respectfully, as if the conflict between the grandparents and grandchildren had never existed. Her thoughts were also much more restrained, and her eyes were more calculating.
Old Mrs. Li felt upset when she saw this.
"You are still young, don't go through the trouble of plastic surgery. You will suffer when you are older."
"Grandma, everyone has the right to pursue beauty. I wasn't born pretty enough, can't I work harder later? Grandma, do you think I look much prettier now? Dad agrees and says I can find a better husband."
"You are looking for a husband. If a man is greedy for beauty, he is not a good match." Old Mrs. Li was admonishing, but Li Nianqi didn't listen.
"Don't bother, grandma."
Li Nianqi's heart became wild when he was abroad, and he also hated the fact that Old Lady Li favored Qiao Xi. With the support of his biological father, he became much bolder.
Old Mrs. Li was disappointed when she saw how rampant she was.
Half of her body is buried in the ground, forget it!
The old lady walked past her with a stern face and entered the room.
Li Nianqi felt that she had the upper hand, and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips. The old woman only knew how to control her. Now that she was old, her father had the final say in the family.
"Go and guard the door. If Mr. Huo arrives, come and tell me."
Li Nianqi is a very paranoid person.
She is still thinking about Huo Xingzhou.
Even though she had been abroad for so long, she had never forgotten it, otherwise she wouldn't have had plastic surgery in the same way as Qiao Xi. The doctor she found was pretty good, and her face looked more natural and not stiff.
……
Night falls.
The Li family's banquet hall also became lively. Many guests arrived early, and the Pei family arrived even earlier.
Pei Zheng and Li Chengxiang had a very pleasant conversation.
That Mr. Zhao also came with his female companion, who was Xia Sisi.
Xia Sisi's eyes seemed to have lost their light, and there was only a polite smile on her face, like a delicate mannequin. Zhao Qin controlled her photos and asked her to do whatever he wanted.
But deep down, she didn't want to accept her fate so quickly.
She must get useful information from Zhao Qin, and tonight might be a good opportunity.
Zhao Qin patted her waist and said, "Stay here, I have something else to do. I'll come find you later..."
When Pei Zheng and Li Cheng were discussing the silk business, how could they do without him mediating?
Zhao Qin considers himself a very important character.
Xia Sisi curled the corners of her mouth and said "OK" obediently.
After Zhao Qin left, she remembered the direction he left. Then she observed the surrounding layout, and then went to the second floor while no one was paying attention to her. She held a bottle of champagne in her hand, thinking about the reason why she was caught.
They have something serious to discuss, so they should be in the study.
Xia Sisi pretended to admire the paintings in the gallery, moving leisurely, but in fact she was concentrating very much, trying to identify their direction from the subtle sounds.
"Hey!"
A female voice sounded, startling Xia Sisi.
"What are you doing here? Didn't the servant tell you that the front is not open to guests? That's my father's study. What's wrong with you?" Li Nianqi said while wearing high heels, staring at Xia Sisi's beautiful and innocent face with narrowed eyes, "Whose family are you from?"
She had never seen Xia Sisi before and felt that she looked very unfamiliar.
"I..." Xia Sisi said quickly, "I'm an actor. Mr. Zhao brought me here. I found the paintings on the corridor very interesting and I was fascinated by them. I'm so sorry. Are you Miss Li? It is said that Miss Li is beautiful and has a unique temperament. I see today that she is indeed as good as her reputation."
Li Nianqi calmed down after hearing her words.
She raised her chin with a bit of pride, looking down on the woman Zhao Qin brought with her. "Are you telling the truth? Am I really beautiful?"
"Of course! If you enter the entertainment industry, we will have nothing to do with you. The temperament cultivated by your family cannot be fake."
Li Nianqi smiled and asked, "Who do you think is prettier, me or Qiao Xi?"
