"What did you just say?" Mrs. Xiao's eyes widened when she heard that. She was so angry when she saw how lazy Jiang Yansheng was. She wanted to throw her shoes at Jiang Yansheng's face. "Did you hear that? She actually cursed me to have a problem with my body! "
"Do we have to burn incense every day to invite such a daughter-in-law into our family?!"
Mrs. Xiao took a few steps forward as if she had taken gunpowder. If it weren't for the background music at the banquet, her screams would have attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Yansheng raised her eyebrows and withdrew her hand from the toast. She pretended that the noisy Mrs. Xiao already knew what she was thinking. Then, she covered the cup with one hand, drank it in one gulp, and put it on the table.
"I was just saying." Jiang Yansheng wiped her mouth elegantly and smiled brightly. "Auntie, you're really energetic when you said those words just now. I can guarantee that you'll have no problem in the next 50 years."
She saw that Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale after hearing those words. Her lips moved, and the words were about to come out again.
Jiang Yansheng had already begun to sympathize with Xiao Chuyun, who had such a mother, Xiao Chuyun.
She probably had to bear this kind of nagging every day since she was a child.
It was no wonder that his personality had changed so much.
She was always moody.
Jiang Yansheng's body tilted, and she fell into Xiao Chuyun's arms with a cry.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chuyun put one hand around her waist and asked thoughtfully.
Jiang Yansheng was very close to Xiao Chuyun. She could feel the man's breath on top of her head, and there was a faint smile on his face.
She instantly knew that Xiao Chuyun didn't seem to dislike her behavior. She supported her forehead weakly with her hand and covered her eyes.
Jiang Yansheng said in a low voice, "My head suddenly hurts a little. I want to find a place to rest."
"Alright." Xiao Chuyun pursed his lips and said to his mother helplessly, "Mom, Yansheng doesn't seem to be feeling well. Let's talk about it another time."
He raised his head slightly at Father Xiao. "Didn't you only come to the banquet for a short while before leaving? Dad doesn't want his business in R City anymore? I'm going to miss my flight soon. "
Xiao Chuyun pretended to look at his watch, which immediately made Father Xiao sweat profusely.
"Yun Nation, this isn't over! What's wrong with her? She doesn't even have a proper posture. If Mother brings her out in the future, she'll be laughed at by others! " The more Mrs. Xiao looked at Jiang Yansheng, the more she disliked her. She felt that her nose and eyes were not the same. She was furious.
"Alright, that's enough. It's getting late." Father Xiao didn't usually interrupt, but at this time, he pulled Mother Xiao aside.
"Why are you pulling me? I ordered a new dress this morning! " Mother Xiao couldn't stop talking. "I can tell that she's pretending. She's quite tall and not skinny. What illness could she have? If she was at home, I would have chased her out long ago … "
"Alright."
"I know it's getting late. Don't rush me! She's really unlucky to meet a woman like this in the Yun Nation! Do as you see fit. She's like a dog skin plaster … "
Xiao Chuyun smiled gently and pretentiously. He watched the two of them slowly walk away with a smile on his face.
"Isn't it too sad? It's only the first time I met my mother-in-law, and she already scolded me like this. "
Jiang Yansheng pretended to touch the corners of her eyes, which were devoid of tears. She stopped walking and got out of Xiao Chuyun's embrace.
"What's wrong? Your head doesn't hurt anymore? "Xiao Chuyun looked at her with a faint smile and brought Jiang Yansheng to a corner of the banquet hall.
There were very few people who would come to a place where there were no lights.
"If it wasn't like this, would your mother have stopped?" Jiang Yansheng was a little distracted. She looked at the soft beige wool carpet in the hall and was in a trance. There were rose petals scattered on the carpet one by one, and it was very beautiful.
She looked up and realized that the interior of the charity banquet was very beautifully decorated. Even the marble table was covered with a layer of white and exquisite tablecloth, and there was a bottle of roses tied with silk on each table. White gauze floated down from the top compartment, and it didn't look like a banquet at all.
It was a little like a wedding scene in her dreams.
"Do you really not want to marry me?" Xiao Chuyun could see that she was absent-minded. He reached out and pulled Jiang Yansheng directly against the wall.
"At least I'm much better than the list of blind dates your parents made, right?"
Jiang Yansheng didn't feel the slightest sense of urgency. She quietly looked at Xiao Chuyun's face and curled her lips into a smile.
"You're wrong. Blind dates don't necessarily mean marriage. I might never get married in my life."
"Really?" Xiao Chuyun pinched Jiang Yansheng's chin with one hand. "I think you seem to be very afraid of loneliness."
He forcefully put one hand through Jiang Yansheng's shoulder and stared at the woman in his arms with a strong and aggressive posture. There was an unprecedented evil smile on his face. "Whether it's money or power, I'm no worse than Gu Yan. I've fulfilled the loyalty and uniqueness that you wanted. Miss Jiang, are you interested in considering me?"
Jiang Yansheng's eyes turned cold. She reached out and slapped Xiao Chuyun's hand away. "Mr. Xiao, do you not understand the situation?"
"How long have we known each other? Even if you think that I'm a very interesting person, that's only your perception. How much do you know about me? Don't be so arrogant and jump to conclusions. "
"I don't like arrogant men."
"And from what Mr. Xiao's mother said, she seems to be very dissatisfied with me." Jiang Yansheng twirled his finger around his ear. "This kind of noisy way really gives me a headache."
"We've agreed before. I'll help you deal with your mother." She poked Xiao Chuyun's chest hard and said coldly, "Mr. Xiao only has one last chance to see me."
"Trust me. Mr. Xiao will handle my matter well."
Since she had promised to do Amei's concert, she would definitely make it happen.
Xiao Chuyun chuckled. "I thought that after meeting you a few times, you would have a good impression of me. Now it seems that we're going in the opposite direction. I've met many women over the years, but you're the most difficult one to woo. "
Jiang Yan Sheng looked up at him in surprise and laughed gloatingly. "Mr. Xiao, do you think you're the most charming man in the world? Not every woman who meets you will fall in love with you. "
"You haven't seen enough women. You have me now, but there will be a second and a third one in the future."
After saying that, she walked forward with light steps. "I know where it is. I'll go there myself when the banquet starts. It's free time now. Mr. Xiao shouldn't care, right?"
Xiao Chuyun chuckled and shook his head. He put one hand in his pocket and leaned against the wall.
Looking at Jiang Yansheng's back, he looked down at the hand that had touched Jiang Yansheng just now and didn't say anything.
…
After getting rid of Xiao Chuyun, Jiang Yansheng felt relaxed. Even the ten-centimeter high heels made him as light as a swallow.
The rose petals scattered on the ground gave off a charming fragrance. Jiang Yansheng closed his eyes slightly. When he opened them, he saw that a thin petal had been stepped on by the sharp heels.
"What's wrong? Is it someone you know? "
A delicate female voice rang out like an ethereal lark. Jiang Yansheng frowned and raised his eyes.
The voice sounded familiar.
A pair of people who were holding each other looked like they walked out of a pictorial. The man was handsome and serious, and the woman was wearing a light and gorgeous dress. Her red lips were slightly raised with surprise.
Jiang Yansheng's eyes darkened, and he smiled with a hint of sarcasm.
They were indeed acquaintances. Standing in front of him was Mu Lianchen and an unexpected woman.
It was not An Yajing, who had vowed to marry Mu Lianchen. Instead, it was Qiao Nuo, who had been slacking in the past two days.
Jiang Yansheng squinted and looked up and down at Qiao Nuo, who was full of pride.
Qiao Nuo seemed to feel his gaze. She straightened her waist, which was as thin as A4 paper. The light pink dress perfectly showed off her youthful and beautiful age. It was a completely different style from Jiang Yansheng's dark black.
"Yansheng …" When Mu Lianchen saw Jiang Yansheng, he frowned slightly and subconsciously moved Qiao Nuo's hand away from his arm.
Qiao Nuo's face turned pale for a moment, but she quickly recovered her smile.
"What a coincidence. Are you also attending the banquet?" Jiang Yansheng raised his head. "I didn't see you at the door just now."
"Yes, we were in a hurry and almost didn't make it. We just arrived." Before Mu Lianchen could speak, Qiao Nuo couldn't wait to step forward and talk to Jiang Yansheng like a hostess.
She even stuck out her tongue and acted coquettishly. "What's wrong with Lianchen? My feet hurt. It's the first time I've worn such high heels. Help me … "
Jiang Yansheng sneered. "I'm not talking to you."
Qiao Nuo took the opportunity to put her hand back, but Jiang Yansheng's ruthless words directly changed her expression.
Jiang Yansheng flicked his hair and looked at the little girl who could play such childish tricks in his office. What kind of tricks could she come up with now?
He thought it would be a boring banquet, but now it seemed to be really exciting.
She looked at Mu Lianchen meaningfully, and even Mu Lianchen's face was a little gloomy.
"Haha …" Qiao Nuo laughed dryly and tried to smooth things over. "I thought Director Jiang was talking to me. Do you know Lianchen too? "
She blinked her eyes, which were so moist and shiny that people couldn't bear to say anything harsh.
Jiang Yansheng leaned forward slightly and smelled the perfume in the air.
It was the perfume that she had ridiculed Qiao Nuo at the dinner party last time. He didn't expect that Qiao Nuo would still wear it today.
She lowered her voice and ignored Qiao Nuo, who was talking to herself. Her eyes were fixed on Mu Lianchen, who was a little anxious.
