Chapter 22 Aren’t you afraid of losing your luck?

The two-day drive left her eyes dark and her hair messy, and she had just vomited, so her face was pale and weak.

They said they were attending a wedding, but in fact it looked more like they were fleeing from disaster.

Jing Xiaoran stood still, staring at the two of them blankly. The red color, which symbolized joy, was extremely dazzling in her eyes at the moment.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Huo Jingchen spoke first, his tone without any fluctuation, "Find her a seat."

Xia Mi observed Huo Jingchen's reaction from the side, then looked at the person opposite her, and vaguely guessed that Jing Xiaoran and Huo Jingchen had an unusual relationship.

This person is probably the childhood sweetheart that everyone mistakenly thinks is his fiancée.

Although Jing Xiaoran didn't say anything, the shock and pain in her eyes were real. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was not here for the wedding.

Xia Mi's emotions didn't change much, but Jing Xiaoran's appearance became a thorn in her heart.

"Let's go." Huo Jingchen reminded the dazed Xia Mi, and handed her the wine glass.

Xia Mi took the wine glass and subconsciously distanced herself from Huo Jingchen, not as intimate as before.

After going around in a circle, they finally arrived at the table where Jing Xiaoran was. Xia Mi could feel that Huo Jingchen deliberately put that table at the end and said much less than the previous tables.

After the toast, Jing Xiaoran left the table and followed, "Brother Jingchen, I have something to say to you alone, it's very important."

This is the first sentence Jing Xiaoran has said since she came in.

The atmosphere instantly became subtle. All those present were married with children, and they knew very well what Jing Xiaoran was thinking.

Although the question was directed at Huo Jingchen, all eyes were focused on Xia Mi.

Xia Mi didn't say anything, waiting for Huo Jingchen to express his opinion.

"Don't you see I have more important things to do? If you don't want to eat I'll have someone take you to a guest house or take a boat back."

"Captain Huo, this is the fiancée you mentioned before, right? Oh no, it's her childhood friend."

Li Jiajia was not afraid of making trouble and stood up to add fuel to the fire.

Instructor Li's expression suddenly changed, and he stood up and scolded, "What does Li Jiajia have to do with you? Sit down!"

"What's wrong with me? No one from Captain Huo's family came to his wedding, and now someone finally comes. Shouldn't I show some concern for him?"

Xia Mi's smile turned cold, her hands dropped, and she waited for Li Jiajia to make trouble.

Li Jiajia's smile was wild, and the next second she pointed directly at Xia Mi, "Comrade Xia, this is your in-laws' family, shouldn't you toast them with two more glasses of wine?"

Xia Mi’s smile froze on her face and her eyes gradually turned cold.

"Comrade Li is still as enthusiastic as ever. How about you drink these two cups for me, and I will forgive you for making up rumors and framing me last time? How about that?"

Li Jiajia frowned and wanted to refuse, "Your wine, let me drink it for you, aren't you afraid that your blessing will be shared by me?"

"Don't worry, my good fortune can't be represented by a few glasses of wine. Besides, if wine can replace it, everyone should drink a few more glasses to get some of the good fortune."

The atmosphere at the scene was tense.

Xia Mi was not willing to be outdone and fought back once again, seeing that neither of them wanted to make things easy for her.

She took the initiative to take the new wine and filled two cups, then walked straight to Li Jiajia, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Li."

Li Jiajia frowned as she looked at the full glass of white wine. Her stomach already began to feel burning before she even drank it.

"What? Do you feel your sincerity is not enough and want to toast two more glasses on my behalf?" Xia Mi threatened again.

Li Jiajia met Xia Mi's eyes, which were full of sarcasm. She wanted to refuse, but she just listened to what Xia Mi said.

"I am very familiar with Uncle Yan and Auntie Yan. If they knew that the person Yan Yiming was dating on the island had questionable character and was prone to causing trouble, what would you say..."

Before she could finish her words, Li Jiajia gritted her teeth, took the wine, and said to Jing Xiaoran.

"Comrade, I came all the way here on behalf of Xia Mi to honor you. I'll do it!"

Li Jiajia drank two cups in a row, her face wrinkled in pain, and tears came out because of the spiciness.

Xia Mi looked at Li Jiajia's heroic movements and curled the corners of her lips.

Jing Xiaoran was at a loss for words when faced with the sudden toast, and wanted to refuse, but how could Li Jiajia let her suffer alone?

"You represent the Huo family. It's Captain Huo's big day, so we have to give you some face. Otherwise, it would be unfair for you to come all the way here."

Xia Mi also admired Li Jiajia's eloquence.

It's a shame for him to be a doctor. He deserves to be a crosstalk performer.

Jing Xiaoran had no choice but to drink two glasses of wine under the gaze of everyone. The hot liquor made her frown.

Less than ten minutes later, Jing Xiaoran found Huo Jingchen who was eating again, and her voice sounded aggrieved.

"Brother Jingchen, my stomach hurts, can you take me to rest?"

Political Commissar Song, Commander Jiang, Instructor Li and several other senior leaders all calmed down and waited for Huo Jingchen's decision.

"I'm familiar with the guesthouse. I'll take you there."

Li Jiajia's voice rang out, and she took the initiative to leave her seat and come over. "If you feel uncomfortable, I can still take you to the hospital. I am a doctor. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me on the way."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Jing Xiaoran was stunned and wanted to find an excuse, but Li Jiajia dragged her out.

Jing Xiaoran was not the only one who was surprised. Everyone in the audience was confused and didn't understand what Li Jiajia was doing.

When watching the two people leave, Xia Mi saw Fu Ming at the door and realized that he did not come to dinner.

"I'll go see them off." Xia Mi said hello, stood up, and hurriedly followed them out.

Fu Ming left dejectedly. He had suffered from insomnia the whole night and fell asleep at five in the morning. When he woke up it was already noon.

When I got over, it was almost over and everyone had almost finished eating.

"Fu Ming, why are you here just now?"

Xia Mi called him and quickly chased after him, looking at his messy hair, "Did you just wake up?"

Fu Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Sister Xia Mi, I'm sorry, I got up late."

"What's there to feel sorry about?" Xia Mi also realized that everyone inside had almost finished eating, and it would not be appropriate to go in now.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Fu Ming nodded, worried that Xia Mi would ask him to go back again, and hurriedly said, "Don't worry about me, I'll go back and heat up the food and I'll eat it. I won't bother you."

"I took your things, but you didn't even get to eat my meal. If you don't mind, I'll go back and make you a bowl of noodles. When you finish eating, your brother Huo will be home, so you can take this opportunity to talk things out."

"I don't need to eat. I'll just wait for Brother Huo."

Xia Mi turned around and went back to the cafeteria. She walked up to Huo Jingchen and lowered her voice.

"Fu Ming has something to tell you. Come back early after dinner. He and I will go back first."

Huo Jingchen's eyes dimmed, and he felt unpleasant after hearing these words.

He and her home, now she wants to take another man back? He kept whispering the second half of Xia Mi's sentence in his heart, his face turned cold, and the air pressure around him dropped.

Seeing that Huo Jingchen didn't say anything, Xia Mi thought he agreed. And because of Jing Xiaoran, she left without waiting for him to say anything.

The man's hands turned white from holding the chopsticks with such force, and the air pressure around him dropped.

"Let's go, your brother Huo will be back soon." Xia Mi left the cafeteria and found that Fu Ming's buttons were messed up, "Please button them again."

Fu Ming looked down and found that the buttons were buttoned incorrectly. His face turned red and he hurriedly unbuttoned them.

Xia Mi turned her head away, her red lips slightly raised, her eyes curved, and she looked delicate and beautiful.

Huo Jingchen stood at the entrance of the cafeteria and took in the entire scene.
