1690 You Can’t Wear The Jewelry Another Man Gave You
Before Yin Lianyi could speak, Xia Chunyu unhappily said, “Brother, why are you always protecting Qiao Xi? She’s your younger sister, but am I not?”
Xia Jingan glanced at her with a mocking smile. It was enough to explain everything.
“That’s right, I want your room. Moreover, didn’t Old Madam Xia promise me this a long time ago?” Qiao Xi said with a smile, not hiding the arrogance in her tone at all.
Yin Lianyi met her gaze and suppressed her surging anger. “Chunyu, that room… Let Xi Xi have it.”
The moment that was said, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Xia Chunyu’s expression froze, and her voice trembled. “What?”!!
Yin Lianyi said seriously, “I agreed to let Xi Xi stay in that room. Pack your things and move them to the guest room.”
Xia Chunyu was angered to the point her face turned red. She did not expect her grandmother to actually let Qiao Xi snatch her room.
However, no matter how arrogant she was, she did not dare to disobey Yin Lianyi. She could only move her belongings to the guest room angrily. The things that were thrown out were all moved back to the room on the second floor by Aunt Liu.
Qiao Xi watched with amusement as they moved around, then she turned to look at Xia Chunyu, who was fiercely glaring at her.
Aunt Liu walked in front of her and gritted her teeth. “Miss Qiao, the room is ready.”
“Call me Eldest Miss in the future,” Qiao Xi ordered arrogantly.
Aunt Liu’s expression darkened, but she could only say stiffly, “Yes, Eldest Miss!”
When Xia Chunyu heard this, she could not stop her tears from flowing. She ran upstairs angrily.
Seeing her leave, Qiao Xi lost interest and nodded slightly at Yin Lianyi. “I’ll go rest first. Please fulfill the banquet you promised me as soon as possible. I don’t have much patience.”
Yin Lianyi was instantly infuriated. “Qiao Xi! You dare threaten me?”
Qiao Xi grunted lightly, stood up, and elegantly went upstairs.
Yin Lianyi was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She smashed a glass angrily.
Three days later, the Xia family booked First Class Residential in the capital to hold a birthday party for Xia Chunyu. At the same time, Qiao Xi was holding a banquet at Hua Xia Hotel, which was right opposite First Class Residential.
By six in the evening, Xia Chunyu’s banquet was brimming with guests, but Hua Xia Hotel was still cold and empty.
Xia Chunyu was extremely proud. Qiao Xi insisted on holding a banquet on this day. She was clearly courting humiliation!
Xia Chunyu’s eyes turned red as she pretended to be tolerant. “Don’t say that about my sister. She just returned to the Xia family. I should give in to her.”
The socialites had disdainful expressions. Qiao Xi had just returned to the Xia family, yet she was already giving Xia Chunyu attitude. How unelegant!
Moreover, everyone knew very well that in Old Madam Xia’s eyes, Xia Chunyu was the most favored one. As for Qiao Xi, she was just the daughter of the Xia family in name.
At this moment, in Hua Xia Hotel.
There were not many guests who came. Those who did were all seniors in the art world. There was still an hour before the banquet. Qiao Xi was not anxious and was still choosing jewelry in the lounge.
The jewelry on the table was all sent over by Xia Jingan. As a jewelry designer, she knew that they were expensive, but she accepted them without hesitation.
At this moment, someone pushed the door open and walked in. Before Qiao Xi could turn around, she felt a cold sensation on her neck. The man’s warm fingers brushed past her collarbone and stopped at the back of her neck.
“Xia Jingan has already prepared jewelry for me.” Qiao Xi raised her eyes to look at Gu Zheng.
“It’s not as good as mine,” Gu Zheng said indifferently.
Qiao Xi could tell that Xia Jingan had spent a lot of effort choosing the jewelry. However, when she raised her eyes to look at the mirror, she was truly stunned for a moment. The diamond necklace on her neck was elegant and simple, and it flickered with a dazzling light. It was indeed the most outstanding necklace in the selection.
“But I promised Xia Jingan that I would wear the jewelry he gave me.” Qiao Xi liked her brother very much. Ever since she met Xia Jingan, he had taken good care of her. In the past few days in the Xia family, it was Xia Jingan who had been protecting her. He had indeed not let her suffer at all.
Gu Zheng sneered. “No, you can’t wear jewelry given by other men.”
Qiao Xi said, “He’s my brother.”
“Not even your brother.” Gu Zheng was very domineering.
Qiao Xi had a helpless expression and obediently wore the necklace Gu Zheng gave her. However, she chose a bracelet and earrings from the jewelry Xia Jingan gave her.
