Lure the villain! Crazy batch! Top stunner makes you crazy

"Sorry, I'm late."

Qi Yan spoke softly and stood aside obediently, looking down at the floor.

Qin Xiulian waved her hand, "Come on, keep eating."

At the dinner table, Jiang Yu said with a smile while picking up vegetables: "Let me tell you, what kind of etiquette can a singer know?"

A woman wearing a light blue cheongsam touched Jiang Yu's arm lightly, then shook her head, hinting to her not to talk nonsense.

Jiang Yu knew that his mother Liu Shuyun's character was like this. She didn't fight for anything, didn't say anything, and liked to be a transparent person, but she was not like that. She said whatever she wanted.

Jiang Ce looked at the woman standing at the door. She was dressed plainly today. It was obviously a very elegant outfit, but there was still a certain charm in it, which made him almost unable to take his eyes away.

She looked at the ground intently and stood seriously.

She is so honest, did she really stand when asked to do so?

He didn't want to meddle in other people's business and continued to eat, listening to several women talking during the meal.

He was not interested in the topic of rouge and gouache, and inadvertently observed her standing at the door. She was still looking down at the ground, revealing her beautiful porcelain white neck with fluffy hair hanging on it.

Her moderately thick lips moved slightly, as if she was saying something silently.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the shape of her lips.

"Seventy-nine, eighty, eighty-one, eighty-two..."

He followed her gaze downwards, and she was actually counting the patterns on the floor.

Jiang Ce found it funny and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. He looked away, looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, and made a decision.

While everyone was chatting about topics they were interested in, a pair of chopsticks suddenly fell out, and all sounds stopped abruptly.

Everyone looked at Jiang Ce, who was sitting in the second seat, in surprise, wondering why he suddenly lost his temper.

Qin Xiulian put on a smile: "What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"

"Well, it doesn't suit." Jiang Ce stood up directly, "You guys can eat."

Qin Xiulian felt a fire rising in her heart, but she still maintained a decent smile. Jiang Ce was Jiang Chuxiao's only son and held military power. Even if father and son did not get along, he was still a part of the family.

According to Jiang Chuxiao's instructions, if one day Jiang Ce rebels with his troops, the Jiang family will be doomed if they are attacked from both sides.

Since she is a wife, she has to maintain the family. Even if Jiang Ce slaps her in the face, she has to continue with a smile.

Qin Xiulian gritted her teeth secretly, but a smile appeared on her face: "I'll ask the kitchen to make you something else. Let's see what you want to eat?"

"No, I'm leaving. Let Jiu Yiniang serve the table." Jiang Ce stood up and adjusted the cuffs of his military uniform.

"But..." Qin Xiulian looked confused, "This is a family banquet. She came too late. According to the rules, isn't her seat removed?"

"Let her sit with me and change the bowls and chopsticks to a new set." Jiang Ce took the military cap handed over by the guard Xiao Xu, "Besides, what kind of family dinner is this if my father is not here?"

Jiang Ce's tone was relaxed, but with a tough attitude.

Although he has a cynical and handsome appearance, he has a sense of blood left by battles and killings, which will make people shiver unconsciously.

"Go and bring new bowls and chopsticks to Aunt Jiu." Qin Xiulian swallowed hard and told He Ye to do something.

Jiang Ce was right. Without Jiang Chuxiao, the family would not be able to hold a family dinner.

Qi Yan looked at Jiang Ce with some surprise.

He never looked at her from beginning to end, and his actions seemed to be just to cause trouble for Qin Xiulian, at least everyone present thought so.

But when he passed by her, he left a message in a small voice with a smile:

"Stop counting."

Qi Yan blinked.

The next second he was already walking out of the restaurant.

Qi Yan ate this meal happily and comfortably. Although she didn't say much, she felt funny when she saw Qin Xiulian's suffocating face.

After the meal, she wanted to go back to her backyard, but Madam stayed behind.

"My sister hasn't spoken to us much since she entered the house. Let's have some dessert before we leave."

Huapu City is one of the few cities that is not closed to the outside world. Many Westerners have settled here. Most of the streets here are British and French concessions, so Westerners' living habits have also been brought here.

For example, eating and having dessert with a knife and fork, and chatting over coffee.

Jiang Yu's eyes moved around the women, and she immediately said, "Then you guys can talk, I'm going out to watch a movie."

Liu Shuyun worriedly ordered: "Be careful and come back soon."

"I know." Jiang Yu ran very fast and soon disappeared.

Qi Yan followed his wife and the fifth concubine to the hall. Looking at her, she was unmatched in terms of youth and beauty, especially her delicate skin, which seemed to glow white when the light shone on it.

The servant placed the fruit snacks on the coffee table.

"Try it. These are fruits that you can't usually eat. Ordinary families can't afford fruits." Qin Xiulian raised her head and put on a show of dignity.

Qi Yan's eyes fell on the fruit plate, which contained peaches, grapes, and cut pineapples.

She picked up a piece of pineapple with a fork, tasted one with curious eyes, and said in surprise: "This is my first time eating it."

Qin Xiulian couldn't hide the smile on her face. This unsophisticated country thing knew that she had never eaten it before, "Yes, your one bite will eat up other people's livelihood for half a year."

"Oh my God." She covered her mouth in surprise.

Liu Shuyun, who had not spoken yet, pushed the fruit plate closer to Qi Yan, "Eat more, fruits like this are rare in other places."

"Yes." Qin Xiulian looked at Qi Yan, "By the way, I remember you said before that you had a friend you were looking for. I specially bought the address for you. Why don't you go find her?"

Qi Yan put on a fake smile, she was waiting here.

"The address is a bit far away and I'm not familiar with it, so I delayed going there."

Qin Xiulian frowned as she listened, "How could you do this? You are here eating these good things and enjoying yourself, but you leave your friends in such a remote and messy place. Fortunately, you asked the commander to post a reward to help you find someone. Now you have found someone. And you don’t want to go?”

"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that my body is not up to par..." Qi Yan said and started to cough. She didn't stop coughing twice, but the cough became more serious.

He looked like he was about to cough to death.

Qin Xiulian's expression changed, she covered her handkerchief with disgust and said, "Then go back and rest quickly, go back and go back."

Qi Yan covered her chest and said with difficulty: "Thank you...cough cough cough, Mrs. Xie cough cough cough..."

She stood up weakly, coughed and returned to her yard.

Within two minutes, Qin Xiulian brought the plate of fruit over, probably because she disliked the spittle she had coughed up.

Qi Yan drank a cup of tea and she almost felt sick from coughing.

She picked up the tea cup and found a note under the cup.
