Chapter 7 Can't Be Taken Away

There was a sudden commotion in the hall. Xu Jinlin, who was not far away, was the first to react. He quickly walked up to Xu Jinxi and put his coat on her.

"Sorry, ma'am, I didn't mean to do that. I just accidentally tripped..." The waiter was also frightened and explained incoherently.

"Do you know how much my sister's dress cost?" Xu Jinyi rushed over and tried to grab the waiter's collar.

The waiter was so scared that he quickly stepped back, "I, I will compensate you..."

"Can you afford the compensation?" Xu Jinyi rushed forward with red eyes.

"Jin Yi!"

"presumptuous!"

Three voices sounded at the same time, the first two came from Xu Jinlin and Xu Jinxi, and the last one came from Su You who was walking slowly towards them.

Xu Jinlin held Xu Jinyi down, his eyes filled with warning, saying that this was the Su family's house, and they were not allowed to be rude or make a scene here.

Even if it was the fault of a small waiter of the Su family, it had to be approved by the Su family if it was to be dealt with.

Su You approached with a bad look on his face, crossed his arms over his chest, and glanced at Xu Jinxi slowly.

Xu Jinxi froze. She had never felt such a gap before. At this moment, Su You was like a princess high above everyone else, while she was like an embarrassed ugly duckling.

"Miss Su, I'm sorry. I acted like this because I was eager to protect you." Xu Jinlin looked apologetic, his hands still tightly holding Xu Jinyi, preventing him from moving.

"Really? I thought your brother had met some vengeful enemy."

Like a mad dog, unable to control myself.

The way people around looked at Xu Jinyi changed. He had only accidentally spilled a glass of wine on him, and the waiter had said he was willing to compensate...

Xu Jinyi was suppressed by Xu Jinlin and did not dare to move. When he noticed the gazes of the people around him, he clenched his fists even tighter.

Su You stood aside and watched the Xu family members as if he was watching a show. At this time, the Xu couple and their new acquaintances went to a distance to talk and were unaware of the situation here.

In the end, it was Mrs. Su who came out to take charge of the situation. She asked someone to take the waiter away and sent someone to take Xu Jinxi to change into a clean dress.

Even though the matter ended like this, Xu Jinlin seemed to want to say something but was interrupted by Madam Su in a calm voice: "I'm sorry that Miss Xu was frightened this time. Tomorrow I will send an apology gift to Miss Xu. I hope Miss Xu will accept it for my sake."

After Mrs. Su said this, Xu Jinlin couldn't blame the waiter anymore, so he just nodded in agreement.

After Madam Su finished giving her instructions, she glanced sharply at the Xu family members, then turned back to Su You and said, "Come with me."

Su You snorted at Xu Jinyi, then disappeared around the corner with Madam Su.

In a secluded corner, two tall men watched the farce with lack of interest.

The man on the left extinguished his cigarette and said with a hint of pride, "Little sister is still so lively and energetic!"

The man on the right didn't look at him. His stern face was hidden in the smoke, and he looked tired. He held a half-lit cigarette in his hand and looked in one direction with an unclear expression.

Su Jing nudged Qi Xiuxu's arm with his elbow, causing the man to raise his eyelids and look at him, "Aren't you afraid that the Xu family will really snatch your child bride away?"

"Su Jing." Qi Xiuxu gave Su Jing a warning look, stubbed out his cigarette and threw it away before slowly saying, "You can't take it away."

"That's right. The Xu family hasn't announced Xiao He Miao's identity yet."

Su Jing felt that the Xu family was very stupid, treating the fake daughter as a treasure. If the Xu family had made Ji Jinhe happy from the beginning, they would have been able to rise to the top in one step.

Instead of taking a shortcut, you have to enter hell mode.

Su Jing laughed out loud as he thought about it, causing Qi Xiuxu to look at him strangely.

Su Jing patted Qi Xiuxu's shoulder and said, "Now that you're back home, it looks like Xiao Hemiao will be moving back soon."

After all, it has been a long time since I saw Ji Jinhe and Su You making a fuss, and I suddenly missed the turbulent days in the past.

…

The second floor is much quieter than the first. I could only vaguely hear the noise downstairs just now.

Ji Jinhe was still leaning on the sofa waiting. She rarely attended such banquets.

The Qi family's businesses are spread all over the country, and few people are willing to provoke the Qi family, but a big tree attracts the wind.

When Ji Jinhe was adopted by the Qi family, the Qi family was expanding its overseas business.

People from abroad had their business taken away and almost kidnapped Qi Xiuxu, wanting to use this to threaten the Qi family. As a result, the banquet originally planned to announce Ji Jinhe's identity was delayed.

Since then, the Qi family has protected Qi Xiuxu and Ji Jinhe very well, and people who don’t know them don’t even know what Ji Jinhe looks like.

There were voices coming from the stairs, getting closer and closer. Su You led a few people to Ji Jinhe's side.

The boy in a white suit next to Su You is Jiang Youze, the young master of the Jiang family. The Jiang family has been in the military for generations and has an extremely low-key style of doing things, so they rarely attend various banquets.

Following behind the two was Shen Xi, who came from a musical family. Both of his parents were very famous musicians. He was known as the Little Prince of Piano when he was in school.

The four families of Qi, Su, Jiang and Chen lived in the same compound. They had known each other since childhood and gradually formed a small group.

Several people found their own seats and sat down. Jiang Youze nodded at Ji Jinhe and said, "It's so hard to ask you out."

It means that every time he wanted to ask Ji Jinhe out for a get-together, he was rejected by Ji Jinhe.

Over the past year, Qi Xiuxu went abroad to handle overseas affairs. Several people wanted to take better care of Ji Jinhe who had no "parents" to take care of him, so they wanted to ask Ji Jinhe to come out and meet them from time to time.

When Qi Xiuxu first left, several people had a quarrel about whose house Ji Jinhe should stay at. The Su brothers and sisters were the most justified because they had two people and the most votes.

In the end, no one won the argument, because when Ji Jinhe woke up, he found himself at Xu's house.

Ji Jinhe blinked and pretended to be innocent: "I just happened to be busy."

Every time they get together, they always ask Ji Jinhe whether he has been bullied by the Xu family.

When he said no, several people didn't believe him and kept clamoring for Ji Jinhe to tell the truth.

To be honest, several people rolled up their sleeves and wanted to go to Xu's house to fight. After they were finally stopped, they persuaded Ji Jinhe to live in their own home.

After many times, Ji Jinhe realized that they would hide if they could, and if they couldn't, they could only accept their fate.

"Hey!" Su You bumped into Ji Jinhe, "Isn't that my brother and Brother Xiuxu?"

Ji Jinhe looked into the banquet hall and saw Su Jing and Qi Xiuxu appear together, causing a commotion in the entire banquet as soon as they appeared.

Looking closely, Qi Xiuxu was followed by the bodyguard with a crew cut, who followed Qi Xiuxu closely.

Qi Xiuxu was wearing a well-tailored black suit, and his whole demeanor was noble and indifferent, in stark contrast to Su Jing's smiling appearance.

Everyone in the banquet hall focused their attention on Qi Xiuxu and Su Jing. Some people stepped forward to talk to them, while others hesitated in the distance, not daring to come forward.

This person from the Qi family is not someone you will easily mess with. Many years ago, the Qi couple both died in a car accident, and the other noble families thought that the Qi family was about to fall and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

This young decision-maker emerged out of nowhere. At the age of eighteen, he stabilized the situation within just one year. His methods were ruthless, and all those who dissented were quickly brought down by him.
