1694 Don’t Smile At Other Men In The Future
When everyone heard this, they stood up one after another and looked at Yin Lianyi and Xia Chunyu with conflicted expressions. In the end, they braced themselves and left. Not long after, only a few people were left in the huge banquet hall.
Xia Chunyu was angered to the point her eyes turned red and her voice became sharp. “Grandma, they’ve all gone to Qiao Xi’s banquet. My birthday banquet is ruined!”
Yin Lianyi clenched her fists and trembled. Qiao Xi must have done it on purpose!
The guests went to Hua Xia Hotel one after another, and the banquet hall was filled with people. Qiao Xi had long expected this scene, and her expression was very calm.
After this banquet ended, Qiao Xi would become famous in the capital. After the people from the four great families left, the guests who rushed over from First Class Residential hurriedly swarmed over with the intention of apologizing to Qiao Xi.!!
However, Qiao Xi was protected in Gu Zheng’s arms. She did not even look at them and directly entered the underground parking lot.
Xia Jingan followed Qiao Xi to the parking lot and asked in a slightly sad tone, “You’re not going back to the Xia family’s residence?”
“If I go back now, they’ll definitely look for trouble with me. Why should I invite trouble to myself?”
Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, Xia Jingan did not force her. He reminded her again, “I believe there’ll be many rumors about you in the capital soon. If you have any difficulties, feel free to look for me.”
Qiao Xi smiled and nodded. “Alright.”
Seeing Xia Jingan leave, Qiao Xi closed the car door, and the vehicle slowly drove out of the parking lot.
Gu Zheng held Qiao Xi’s hand and put a ring on her slender and fair finger. This ring was not considered luxurious, but the style was exquisite and special.
“Mrs. Gu, you’re already married, but you’re unwilling to wear a ring. You must think that the rings at home are too exaggerated, so you don’t want to wear them. That’s why I specially custom-made this one.” Gu Zheng looked at her affectionately.
Qiao Xi was indeed not used to wearing rings, but the diamond on this ring was not exaggerated. Even so, it was dazzling like a star.
Gu Zheng had not spoken much the entire day. Now, he was putting a ring on her. He must have been unhappy when he saw the heirs in the capital surrounding her and giving her gifts.
“Xi Xi, you didn’t even look at me much tonight. You smiled more at other men.” Gu Zheng slowly approached her. The bitter words that came out of his mouth were like an electric current that swept through Qiao Xi’s heart.
His long fingers brushed past her hair and cheek before finally landing on her beautiful lips. Then, he bent down and kissed her lips hard. There was a trace of madness in his breath.
She subconsciously retreated, but she was pressed down by him. His strong and strong arms firmly restrained her, and he kissed her even harder, making it difficult for Qiao Xi to breathe. Her entire body was sore and soft.
“Oh… Don’t…” Qiao Xi’s charming voice sounded like a kitten’s.
“You can’t smile at other men in the future, much less neglect me.” Gu Zheng ended the long kiss and pecked the corner of her mouth. His voice was hoarse and exuded a trace of charm. The air gradually heated up.
The next day, the entire capital was talking about the Xia family.
As the daughter of the Xia family, Qiao Xi had the support of Gu Zheng, the three big families, and Xia Jingan. However, in order to attend the Xia family’s adopted daughter’s birthday banquet, Old Madam Xia did not attend the biological daughter’s banquet. This matter quickly spread online, and the Xia family’s share price fell by two percentage points overnight.
In Xia Corporation’s building, the higher-ups looked worried.
“Young Master, what should we do?! We lost so much money overnight. If this goes on, the Xia family will be doomed!”
Xia Jingan sneered. “Since Old Madam Xia chose to side with Xia Chunyu, we should have expected this outcome. It’s normal for the shares to fall.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Lianyi and Xia Chunyu pushed the door open and walked in.
“Get out!” Yin Lianyi ordered with a cold face. Many higher-ups left, leaving the three of them in the room.
After the door of the meeting room was closed, Yin Lianyi slowly said, “Jingan, what did you just say? Are you blaming me?
“Although Chunyu was adopted, she has lived with the Xia family for so many years. However, Qiao Xi chose to hold a banquet on the same day as Chunyu. Isn’t that blatant disrespect toward Chunyu?”
Yin Lianyi’s gaze was vicious. She had indeed underestimated Qiao Xi. She did not expect her to be able to invite so many big shots to the banquet. She originally brought Qiao Xi home for the sake of the Xia family’s reputation, but after Qiao Xi’s commotion, the Xia family’s reputation was not as good as before.
