The Tian Xiner stood alone by the window, gazing at the moon.
Suddenly, she felt someone pat her.
She turned around and saw a charming woman in her thirties standing behind her. She had delicate makeup on her face, delicate skin, and a slim figure. She could be considered a beauty, but there was a hint of arrogance and harshness in her eyes. It was obvious that she had been spoiled since she was a child.
The woman introduced herself first … Her voice was low and gentle with a hint of coyness. "You must be Tong Che's sister … Tian Xiner, right? I've heard so much about you. "
This opening … didn't seem very friendly!
The Tian Xiner tilted her head and looked at her. She didn't say a word and had a smile on her face, waiting for her to continue.
"My surname is Zheng, and my name is Zheng Xiulian. You might not know me, but you should know my father. He's the deputy governor in charge of economic affairs."
She brought up her father first.
Her meaning was obvious: My family is very well-off.
Zheng Xiulian continued, "I'm a master's student at the Capital University. I majored in humanities and history, and I'm currently working at the Provincial Museum."
Once again, he talked about his educational background and qualifications.
She seemed to be showing off.
Zheng Xiulian pretended to be friendly and smiled. "Since you're Tong Che's sister, I'll be frank. I'm still single, not because I can't find a man, but because I'm too picky. I'd rather have nothing than to have something substandard. As you can see, I'm quite well-off …"
The Tian Xiner pursed her lips and smiled … How could she praise herself like that?
She stared at her innocently and didn't say a word. She was quiet like a harmless little rabbit.
Zheng Xiulian looked at her innocent face and spoke more casually. "I'm very picky when it comes to men, but I met Director Tong again recently. Oh! Actually … you might not know this, but Director Tong was a very popular figure when he taught at a university when he was young. At that time, I … Anyway, at that time, he had someone by his side, so I could only look up to him secretly. "
The Tian Xiner frowned. "You said he had someone by his side? Who? "
Zheng Xiulian waved her hand. "Let bygones be bygones! For a man as outstanding as Tong Che and at his age, it was normal for him to have some suitors! Let's not talk about what happened at that time. Ever since he returned to the city. I think he's still as elegant and handsome as he was in the past. The rarest thing is … he's still single. "
"…"
"So, I thought … This is probably what God wants. Marriage is predestined by God! I'm just greeting you today. After all, you're his sister. In the future, we should get along well. "
Huh?
This tone … it was as if Tong Che was already in the bag!
Get along well?
But from the other party's tone … there was clearly a hint of arrogance.
Zheng Xiulian probably heard some of the Tian Xiner's gossip, so she decided to come here first to clear the obstacles.
Before the Tian Xiner could say anything …
Ni Dahai had already arrived slowly. He glanced sideways at Zheng Xiulian and immediately understood the situation at hand.
He greeted her casually, "Sister Xiulian, you're here too?"
Zheng Xiulian's face darkened. "I'm only a few days older than you. Don't call me sister."
Ni Dahai deliberately scratched his forehead. "I remember that you're over 30. No! You're 32. "
Zheng Xiulian's face darkened. "Dahai, you've been like this since you were young! You're a good person, but your words are unpleasant. Don't you know that … a woman's age is the biggest secret? "
Ni Dahai laughed shamelessly. "This … this can't be kept a secret, right? No matter how well you take care of yourself, when you stand next to Little Tian Xin, it's obvious that one is a middle-aged woman and the other is young and beautiful. "
Middle-aged woman?
Who was he talking about?
Zheng Xiulian's face turned green with anger. She twisted her waist and gestured at him. "Dahai, you're so annoying."
Ni Dahai raised his eyebrows teasingly. "Sister Xiulian, your habit of chasing men … ahem, ahem, hasn't changed? I heard that there was a doctor in the Provincial Party Committee's Secretariat who was chased by you. He was so scared that he didn't dare to go to work. "
"Go away! Don't talk nonsense. "
Comrade Da Ni continued, "However, you have to look at your own status before you chase a man. You chased someone in the Secretariat? Fine! He doesn't dare to offend you! You chased … ahem, go ahead! Do you have the ability? Why don't you just marry him? Don't be so … smug here. "
Zheng Xiulian couldn't hold back and accidentally told the truth. "Marry? How? Tong Che has been cold and indifferent all day. Who knows what he's thinking? I asked him out twice, but he turned me down both times with the excuse that he was going home. I don't believe that if there's no one at home seducing him … would he be like that? "
She glanced at the Tian Xiner indifferently and pursed her lips. "But I always feel that a woman should know her own status. She shouldn't overstep her boundaries and covet someone she shouldn't be with just because she's young and beautiful."
Ni Dahai didn't want to hear what she said.
Who's coveting who?
Just as he was about to speak up for the Tian Xiner …
The Tian Xiner laughed first …
She wiped her tender white hands on her skirt and took half a step closer to Zheng Xiulian. She pulled her arm and pretended to be intimate as she pressed her lips to Zheng Xiulian's ear. Although her voice was low, her tone was neither servile nor overbearing. It even had a hint of condescending ridicule … It was as if Zheng Xiulian was not even comparable to an ant in her eyes. "A woman like you wants to chase after my brother? Dream on! "
Zheng Xiulian's self-esteem was hurt. She didn't expect the other party to talk to her in such a tone at such a young age.
She was stunned for a second, then she was about to retort.
She felt a pain in her ear, as if she had been bitten by a small bug. She subconsciously raised her hand to rub it. Suddenly, she was surprised to find five black handprints on the arm that Tian Xiner had just touched.
She took a closer look …
That pitch-black color was like the ink on a piece of rice paper, slowly spreading along the lines of his skin.
Zheng Xiulian widened her eyes in horror. "What … what's going on?"
She couldn't help but take a step back.
She bumped into a waiter who was holding a tray.
The waiter lost his balance. "Crash!" The drinks on the tray fell to the ground. Glass shards and the drinks inside splashed all over the floor.
After the commotion …
Everyone in the hall looked over. Zheng Xiulian was a well-mannered woman. She felt a little embarrassed and quickly pushed the blame to the waiter. "Why don't you watch where you're going?"
"I …"
"Don't explain! Get your boss here! People like you … should be fired! "
Before she could finish speaking …
A strange smile appeared on her face. The smile grew wider and wider, but it was uglier than crying.
Then, Zheng Xiulian burst out laughing uncontrollably. She was laughing for no reason, regardless of the occasion … It could only mean that she was mentally ill. Everyone looked at her in surprise.
Zheng Xiulian knew that she had lost her composure.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop laughing!
The Tian Xiner looked at her coldly and curled her lips in disdain. "She deserves it! Who asked her to be so smug? Now she's the center of attention. "
Ni Dahai knew that … Xiao Tian Xin had drugged her.
Deputy Governor Zheng saw his daughter's expression from afar and hurried over. He complained, "Xiulian, today is such an important occasion … What are you doing?"
She nodded embarrassedly at the crowd.
Then, she dragged her daughter out of the banquet hall.
Tong Che saw this scene from afar, but he remained calm and collected … as if he hadn't seen anything. He continued to chat with the people around him.
Ni Dahai nudged the Tian Xiner with his shoulder. "Ignore that self-righteous woman. Let's go. I'll make you a cocktail!"
The Tian Xiner shook her head. "No! I want to go! This occasion is boring. It's just some older people … They're talking about things I don't understand. "
Ni Dahai tilted his head and looked at her with a hint of indulgence in his eyes. "That's good! Let's go. I'll take you home! "
The Tian Xiner blinked her big eyes and brushed her hair gently. Her voice was low and soft, like a lark in an empty valley. "Big Brother Ni, thank you!"
"Ah?"
"Thank you for trying to protect my heart just now! Are you afraid that I'll be bullied by that woman? " The Tian Xiner stuck out her tongue mischievously. "I don't mean to say this, but the person who can bully me … hasn't been born yet! Just her? How dare she provoke me? No way! I don't need your help. I can torture her until she has diarrhea! "
Ni Dahai smiled from the bottom of his heart … He resisted the urge to give her a thumbs up. "I don't dare to say anything else, but in the future, no one will dare to bully you in the Provincial Party Committee compound!"
