Chapter 878 Finally Won Over This Beauty?
The charity banquet was held at the Sheng family’s residence. This was their exclusive venue.
In addition, it was no secret that Sheng Qian liked Ruan Xiaoxiao. Today, Ruan Xiaoxiao appeared as Sheng Qian’s date and successfully attracted everyone’s attention.
Sheng Qian had many roguish friends. Seeing Ruan Xiaoxiao holding his arm, they couldn’t help teasing him. “Young Master Sheng, congratulations. You’ve finally won over this beauty?” Ruan Xiaoxiao was naturally happy to be called a beauty. She lowered her head in a show of embarrassment and reached up to tuck her loose hair behind her ear, putting on a modest expression.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Qian did not give her face at all. He glanced at Ruan Xiaoxiao. “Is she considered a beauty? She’s just ordinary.”
When everyone heard this, the smiles on their faces froze. They were all shocked.
Since when did Sheng Qian speak so rudely?
Wasn’t he always a smooth talker?
Besides, who didn’t know that he liked Ruan Xiaoxiao?
He had always been protective of her. No one could criticize her.
But today, Sheng Qian had changed his attitude. It was really shocking.
Meanwhile, Ruan Xiaoxiao’s lips twitched. She wished she could pounce on Sheng Qian and cover his mouth.
“So hateful. Young Master Sheng is still so naughty. He just likes to joke with people.” Ruan Xiaoxiao had no choice but to use the word “joke” to ease the awkwardness.
Logically speaking, Sheng Qian would definitely say something interesting at this moment to ease the awkwardness.
However, Sheng Qian did not. He stood rooted to the ground like a wooden statue and did not respond. He only looked coldly at Ruan Xiaoxiao as if she was a fool. His expression was one of disdain.
“Um… Miss Ruan, we won’t disturb you two anymore. We’ll make a move first.” Everyone could tell that the atmosphere between the two of them was off, so they left quietly.
Ruan Xiaoxiao’s face was almost stiff from smiling. She tried her best to remain calm as she watched everyone leave.
After everyone left, Ruan Xiaoxiao pulled Sheng Qian aside. “What are you trying to do? Do you know how much you embarrassed me just now?!”
Sheng Qian, no, it should be She Qi, shook her off and stuffed his hands into his pockets. “Ruan Xiaoxiao, is this the way you talk to me?”
Ruan Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but tremble when She Qi’s venomous gaze locked onto her. “I… I didn’t mean that. It’s just that… it’s just that you shouldn’t go overboard. Sheng Qian was infatuated with me previously. If you suddenly become so cold to me, others will definitely gossip!”

She Qi looked at her nonchalantly.
Ruan Xiaoxiao was furious.
Just as she was about to leave in anger, She Qi suddenly grabbed her arm and made her put her hand in his.
Ruan Xiaoxiao’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at him.
However, She Qi did not even spare her a second glance. Instead, he was staring at Chi Jiao, who had just arrived.
Today, Chi Jiao was wearing a black evening gown. Her long hair was tied up and she was wearing a simple diamond necklace and earrings. She had light makeup on her face, and she bore a faint smile as she walked. She looked especially poised.
