The angry little girl pushed Xia Ying away, pulled Ruan Munan away.
Xia Ying was scolded and almost pushed to the ground. The hypocrisy she had finally put on could no longer hold up.
She rushed forward to grab Ruan Qi's clothes: "Stop! Who are you calling a mistress?!"
"Who knows who the mistress is? The entire imperial capital knows!"
Ruan Qi slapped her hand away, "No one in your Cheng family is a good person except Cheng Jinyan! Don't touch me, I'm dirty. I have to do laundry when I get home!"
A Bugatti parked near the back entrance of the venue at some unknown time.
The car door opened, and the man inside just stepped out when he heard the little girl yelling with a fierce smell.
The corners of the man's lips curled up.
He arranged his clothes, pushed up his glasses, and walked over.
Xia Ying was completely angered by Ruan Qi's words.
She was not a kind person with a good temper. The reason why she smiled at Ruan Qi was entirely for Ruan Munan and the Xi family. Otherwise, how could she take Ruan Qi seriously because he was a little star.
But now Ruan Qi is calling her grandmother a mistress!
Since Xu Qingya successfully came to power, old man Cheng Qi decisively dealt with a large number of people who said she was a mistress. From then on, no one in the imperial capital dared to speak out about Xu Qingya's identity.
But now, Ruan Qi actually said it openly!
Xu Qingya is a mistress, so who is Xia Ying?
The mistress’s granddaughter? !
The most taboo thing in a wealthy family is to have a reputation that is not just and right, but Ruan Qi is trying to poke a hole in Xia Ying's heart.
Xia Ying was so angry that she raised her hand to slap Ruan Qi.
Ruan Munan's eyebrows turned cold, and she pulled Ruan Qi over to reach out to block Xia Ying.
But there was someone who was one step faster than him. A big hand grasped Xia Ying's wrist as firmly as steel and then violently threw it out.
Xia Ying was unprepared, and the huge inertia made her take a few steps back, almost falling to the ground.
The Lord and others quickly supported her.
Xia Ying steadied herself awkwardly and screamed angrily: "Who dares to dump me——"
she shouted, raising her head.
Then the screaming stopped.
"Brother?" Xia Ying's tone changed slightly.
Cheng Yan, who was standing aside watching the show, also changed her expression.
Both sisters kept silent and looked at Cheng Jinyan, who had appeared at some unknown time, with fearful expressions.
Cheng Jinyan glanced at Xia Ying indifferently, her silver-rimmed lenses glowing coldly in the sunlight.
Xia Ying felt an inexplicable chill on her back.
Cheng Jinyan ignored her. He raised his hand to straighten his tie, then turned his head, his eyes falling on Ruan Qi, his eyes gradually becoming gentle.
"Miss Ruan." Cheng Jinyan said softly.
Ruan Qi did not expect Cheng Jinyan to appear suddenly.
She poked her head out from behind Ruan Munan, blinked her peach-blossom eyes in surprise, and tilted her head slightly: "Why are you here, Master Cheng? Are you here to watch your sister compete?"
Cheng Jinyan said nothing, only turned to glance at Cheng Yan, with a hint of disgust on his expressionless handsome face.
Ruan Qi miraculously understood his expression and asked again, suppressing a smile: "Then you are here to see me?"
Cheng Jinyan nodded and said 'hmm'.
"I'm here to find you," he paused and glanced at Ruan Munan, "and your brother."
Ruan Qi looked surprised.
Cheng Jinyan only met Ruan Munan a few times, so what was he doing with his brother?
Talking about business?
Ruan Qi turned to look at Ruan Munan, who secretly shook his head.
Seeing this, Ruan Qi frowned slightly and quickly thought about Cheng Jinyan's purpose.
Yun Qi and Cheng Jinyan's company have no cooperation, and Cheng Jinyan is not familiar with his brother.
Then the only reason he came to see their siblings was...
Thinking of that possibility, Ruan Qi's heart trembled. She raised her head suddenly and met Cheng Jinyan's indifferent and clear eyes.
Those eyes seemed to see directly into her heart.
Ruan Qi's hand clenched subconsciously.
At this time, Xia Ying and Cheng Yan also came to their senses.
Xia Ying held the arm that was scratched by Cheng Jinyan and asked angrily: "Brother, what do you mean? Are you helping outsiders bully my cousin?"
Cheng Jinyan glanced at her lightly and said calmly: "I have left the Cheng family and am not considered your eldest brother. In terms of friendship, my relationship with Miss Ruan is closer than that with you."
"Brother!" Xia Ying was extremely angry.
Cheng Jinyan didn't like to talk to her, and asked Ruan Qi slowly: "Do you have time now? I want to talk to you brothers and sisters."
Ruan Qi looked at Ruan Munan.
Ruan Munan glanced at Cheng Jinyan thoughtfully, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "We are going to Penglai Pavilion. If Mr. Cheng doesn't mind, you can go together."
Cheng Jinyan happily accepted the invitation.
Xi Jiu and others who were hiding in the car watched for a while. When they saw Cheng Jinyan coming, they couldn't sit still anymore and they all opened the door and got out of the car.
Xi Jiu led Bai Yuchen and Gu Feiyang to Ruan Qi, "What happened?"
Although he asked this, his eyes had already fallen on Xia Ying.
Xia Ying was so cold when he saw her that her whole body was filled with anger, as if a basin of ice water had been poured out of her. Even her sweat pores were filled with chills.
Xia Ying dared to pester Ruan Munan and vent her dissatisfaction to Cheng Jinyan, but she dared not provoke Xi Jiu.
Cheng Yan is an idiot, but she is not stupid. A man like Xi Jiu is a beast that only knows how to plunder and has no emotions at all. Once it touches his territory, it will be ruthlessly torn into pieces.
Xia Ying didn't dare to offend him, so she took two steps back with a pale face.
Xi Jiu's dark and cold eyes swept across her body, and then looked at Cheng Jinyan.
Although Cheng Jinyan and Xi Jiu didn't get along before, they were still on good terms.
But since knowing Ruan Qi's true origin, Cheng Jinyan now doesn't like Xi Jiu.
The little sister who was pampered by his second uncle and second aunt was snatched away by this old beast before he even had time to acknowledge her.
A twenty-seven-year-old man covets a girl who has just turned twenty. Why is his face so big?
The more Cheng Jinyan looked at Xi Jiu, the angrier he became, with low pressure exuding all over his body.
Xi Jiu felt his hostility keenly and frowned slightly.
"What are you doing here, Mr. Cheng?"
"I'm looking for Xiao Qi." Cheng Jinyan replied, and the word "Xiao Qi" revealed a bit of intimacy.
Bai Yuchen, who was standing aside, had a strange look on his face.
He poked Gu Feiyang and lowered his voice: "Since when did Cheng Jinyan and my sister-in-law become so familiar? Isn't the call too intimate?"
Gu Feiyang said nothing, looking at Cheng Jinyan with slightly cold eyes.
Bai Yuchen seemed to have thought of something at this time, and couldn't help but say "fuck".
"Cheng Jinyan doesn't like my sister-in-law, does he?"
Bai Yuchen's voice is not loud, but everyone has very good ears.
In an instant, Ruan Munan, Xi Jiucheng and Jinyan looked at him at the same time.
Bai Yuchen: "..."
Dazed, weak and helpless.
Qin Qingdi rubbed her forehead with a headache. In order to prevent herself from losing her husband at a young age, she gritted her teeth and slapped Bai Yuchen on the head.
"What nonsense are you talking about! Come with me, go back to the car and sit down!"
Bai Yuchen was carried away by Qin Qingdi's ears.
Ruan Qi looked at Bai Yuchen's aggrieved back, twitched the corner of her mouth, and explained to Xi Jiu: "Young Master Cheng has something to discuss with me and my brother. Let's go to Penglai Pavilion first."
