Huo Na’s departure didn’t delay Huo Qiuguang’s enthusiasm for Murong Chen. He immediately changed the topic and talked about business.
Coincidentally, his original intention was to tell Murong Chen this, so it was not a bad plan.
I still have something to do here. Qiaoqiao, go and play first.” Murong Chen also gave his Little Sister a look.
He had never liked such things to affect his Little Sister. Seeing Huo Qiuguang mention this, he had no intention of keeping Murong Qiao.
Murong Qiao nodded. “Then I’ll go look for Fourth Brother and the others first.” Among these Big Brothers, Fourth Brother Yan Xiu was the most worrying. Murong Qiao couldn’t help but want to take a look, so she left after greeting Murong Chen.
On the other hand, Huo Qiuguang couldn’t help but feel vexed for a moment when he saw Murong Qiao leave. He thought that he should seize the opportunity to curry favor with her.
However, as a father, he had completely forgotten that the most important thing was to consider his daughter’s feelings.
As Huo Qiuguang’s daughter, Huo Na was directly rude just now. This was the first time she had done such a rude thing at a banquet. She left angrily with her back facing everyone.
“What the hell?” Huo Na was furious and returned to her good sister’s side with a stomach full of emotions.
Jiang Weiyang was sitting at the side and resting. When she saw her return, a smile immediately appeared on her face. However, when she heard Huo Na’s tone, she frowned slightly.
Among the people in this circle, Huo Na and Jiang Weiyang were considered good friends.
Whether it was the Huo Family, the Jiang Family, or the relationship between the two of them in private, they could be considered good friends.
However, Huo Na was still concerned about what had happened just now. “It’s all my father’s fault. It’s fine if he wants to please others for doing business, but he still has to implicate me.”
She muttered and told Jiang Weiyang what had happened just now.
“I don’t think that Murong Qiao is as amazing as the rumors say. Seriously.” Huo Na pouted unhappily.
She felt extremely aggrieved just now, but because of Huo Qiuguang’s suppression, she couldn’t say anything in front of everyone.
However, she needed an outlet to vent her emotions, so Huo Na could only come over and talk to Jiang Weiyang.
Jiang Weiyang’s eyes darkened. After Huo Na finished speaking, she reached out to hold the back of her hand as if to comfort her.
She softened her voice. “You’re very outstanding too.”
“But my father is praising Murong Qiao everywhere.” Huo Na couldn’t control the grievances in her heart, so they all appeared.
Jiang Weiyang empathized with her, not to mention that she had something against Murong Qiao previously. Hearing Huo Na’s words, her hatred for Murong Qiao rose again.
However, Huo Na couldn’t go over for long before she was called away again It seemed that she was from the Huo Family’s branch family, so Jiang Weiyang couldn’t ask her to stay, so she could only watch her leave.
“Weiyang, why don’t you look very good?” At this moment, Jiang Weiyang’s friend leaned over. Seeing that she didn’t seem very happy, he asked with concern.
Jiang Weiyang did not answer immediately. Instead, her gaze landed heavily on the dazzling figure in the venue, and she seemed to be thinking about something.
The banquet gradually began. As the number of guests increased, the originally spacious front hall was also noisy tonight.
It was rare for the Huo Family to welcome such a lively scene, but this lively scene made Yan Xiu suffocate.
He had never liked such an occasion. Therefore, after accompanying his Little Sister in just now, Yan Xiu took advantage of the fact that everyone had dispersed and crawled out of the crowd. Then, he wanted to find a quieter place to stay until the banquet ended.
However, things never seemed to go as planned. Just as Yan Xiu found the small garden beside the front hall, some rich young lady saw him and followed him.
It was not the worst thing to happen. The worst thing was that the arrival of a girl represented the appearance of a few good sisters.
“Young Master Yan’s latest work is still so difficult to snatch…”
“Yan Xiu, can you help me take a look at how I’m dressed today?”
“Speaking of art, there’s an art exhibition the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Young Master Yan—”
At the moment he was surrounded by the girls, Yan Xiu really understood what it meant to say that women were like countless ducks.
He clearly just wanted to find a quieter place…
Yan Xiu, who was being driven crazy by the chaos, was sitting in the center of everyone. His brows were almost furrowed tightly, but those people acted as if they didn’t notice and even talked to him excitedly.
“Sorry.” Suddenly, a female voice interrupted, causing the surroundings to quieten down.
Following the source of the voice, everyone turned around and saw Shen Xi who was wrapped in a short skirt, standing not far from them.
Shen Xi didn’t panic at all and even smiled politely. “I’m sorry to disturb everyone’s fun, but I’m not feeling well. Can I ask everyone… not to disturb me?”
The more famous the Shen family was, the more famous Shen Xi’s illness would be.
Everyone knew about this, but when the girls heard Shen Xi say this and looked at Yan Xiu, they couldn’t bear to part with him.
Yan Xiu usually stayed in the studio. It was rare for him to come out, so they definitely wanted to seize the opportunity.
Seeing that they didn’t move, Shen Xi could only say, “I don’t want to cause too much trouble for everyone, but I had no choice but to ask the butler here. Only this side is still considered quiet…”
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Xi frowned and coughed twice.
These two sounds successfully made the few young ladies run away without a word. After all, if Shen Xi really fell sick, no one wanted to get into trouble. At that time, trouble would provoke them.
In a few seconds, only Yan Xiu and Shen Xi were left in the small garden.
“How is it? It’s quiet now, right?” Shen Xi walked over and smiled at Yan Xiu.
She didn’t deny that she did that to help Yan Xiu.
However, she did need a quiet environment. Still, Shen Xi had actually lied just now.
This was definitely not the only quiet place. She had only come here to look for Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu narrowed his eyes. “Yes.”
She had just helped him, so he couldn’t ignore her.
Yan Xiu didn’t like socializing or these “liveliness”, but he also understood Shen
Xi’s actions just now.
Then—” Shen Xi pointed at the seat beside him.” May I sit here?”
This time, she didn’t do it on purpose. It was just that there were not many tables m this small garden to begin with, and Yan Xiu’s side was the most comfortable.
Yan Xiu hesitated for a moment before nodding reluctantly.
Shen Xi originally only wanted to probe and ask. She was originally prepared to be rejected and even thought of sitting in the seat closest to Yan Xiu.
In the end, she was stunned that the other party actually agreed.
This sudden surprise stunned Shen Xi for a second or two before she reacted She pursed her lips but couldn’t help but smile as she sat down beside Yan Xiu.
She placed her excited hands on her legs and tried her best to make her sitting posture look beautiful and upright, but her fingertips couldn’t help but pinch her skirt nervously.
Fortunately, the two of them were separated by a table, so Yan Xiu couldn’t see her small actions..
