109 In Public
As soon as Xu Huaili entered the venue, he was surrounded by a large number of young men, all of whom were complimenting him.
Xu Huaili nodded in response, bowed slightly, and walked out of the crowd.
"Xu Huaili is now in high spirits. He caught the culprit of Yinzhou's collusion with Xinyi, and was highly valued by His Majesty. He is really amazing." Yang Mingzhu looked at him with a sidelong glance. Although she said he was amazing, there was no compliment in her tone.
Instead, they are full of disdain.
Xiao Tingqi muttered softly, "Your tone doesn't sound like anything nice."
Just as he was mocking her, he heard a cold snort in his ear, "Don't think I didn't hear what you said just because you mumbled softly..."
"Ah!" Xiao Tingqi was startled and turned around suddenly to see Yang Mingzhu leaning close to his ear.
Glancing at her, his eyes were warning!
"You're going to scare me to death!" Xiao Tingqi yelled at her. Haven't you ever heard of people scaring others to death?
Wasn't it just that he said something bad behind her back? Does it have to be so scary?
Yang Mingzhu crossed her arms and looked disdainful, "How dare you be dissatisfied in front of me?"
Xiao Tingqi felt guilty but refused to give in. "So what if I told you? Isn't it the truth?"
“Huh???!” Yang Mingzhu’s eyes shone and she threatened, “Say it again!”
Yang Mingzhu had a reputation for being arrogant, and few girls in Kyoto dared to challenge her, mainly because she was the emperor's cousin.
Entering the palace was a common occurrence, and perhaps it was these few contacts that made Xiao Tingqi forget her reputation.
When Yang Mingzhu frowned, Xiao Tingqi immediately remembered who was in front of him?
She, Yang Mingzhu, was also someone he couldn't afford to offend.
Xiao Tingqi wanted to straighten his body, but after a long time he didn't dare to do it. Besides, Liu Yuhua was standing next to him, watching the fun seriously.
I was thinking about leaving a good impression. If I could succeed, she would be my future sister-in-law. But today... let it go and wait for next time!
I will definitely get back at you next time!
Xiao Tingqi did not get the fruits of victory, his expression wilted, and he complained in his heart: You are Yang Mingzhu, you are amazing! snort!
Yang Mingzhu was very satisfied with the result, and raised her eyebrows at Xiao Tingqi proudly: If you have the guts, tell me again!
Xiao Tingyun at the side sighed, "Can you two take a break from fighting for a while?"
These two people are so boring that they can even bicker over such trivial matters.
Isn’t Xu Huaili the most critical person now? ?
"Okay, let's have a truce!" Xiao Tingqi made the decision immediately. Let's have a truce! This doesn't count as admitting defeat.
Yang Mingzhu didn't give face to Xiao Tingqi, but she still had to give face to Xiao Tingyun.
So I didn't refute it and gave the other party a way out.
Xiao Tingqi breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Mingzhu had been difficult to deal with before, and he was really afraid that she would say "None of your business!"
Liu Yuhua had nothing to watch and turned around to continue looking at Xu Huaili.
"Hey? Why did General Xu leave suddenly?"
The two of them temporarily stopped fighting and welcomed a moment of peace. Xiao Tingqi looked in the direction and said, "It seems to be heading in the direction of Li Yunran!"
Yang Mingzhu was unhappy when she heard about Li Yunran, "That little bitch is here too?! What the hell did Jiang Xiao do? Why did he let that kind of person in? He really made the place dirty!"
Li Yunran? Xiao Tingyun recalled what Yang Mingzhu had said before about committing suicide by jumping into the lake.
He seems to be quite happy, not depressed or anything like that.
She came out of the shadows so quickly, which can be regarded as the heroine's halo.
Liu Yuhua was shocked. "General Xu is really protective of Miss Li."
"She was still in the palace yesterday, but today she came to the polo club and even left her group behind to look for her. Tsk tsk..."
Xiao Tingyun secretly agreed, but Xu Huaili's face looked so dull, and there was no sign of happiness or joy from his lover.
But everyone thought so, and believed that Xu Huaili must have left for his cousin Li Yunran.
So Li Yunran also felt the same way. Xu Jinlan said jokingly, "Second brother is really something. He doesn't even pay attention in such a public place."
"What are you talking about? Stop talking nonsense! It would be bad if people misunderstood you." Li Yunran was very embarrassed. Although his tone was blaming, he could not hide the joy on his face.
Xu Jinlan nodded in amusement and cursed, "Yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense. My cousin is a polite person, and my cousin is really reckless!"
"Cousin...you mean well." Li Yunran whispered again to excuse Xu Huaili.
This caused Xu Jinlan to say "Oh~..."
"Oh!" Li Yunran pretended to be angry and said coquettishly.
Xu Huaili left the group and went straight towards Li Yunran.
In full view of everyone, he really came before Li Yunran.
There was another commotion, "Really, really!"
"Miss Li even committed suicide by jumping into the lake for General Xu. Even if General Xu is as hard-hearted as a rock, he should be moved by such an infatuated woman!"
"That's right. It seems that General Xu has deep feelings for Miss Li. He taught the young master of Rongyang Marquis's Mansion a lesson for her before, and spent a lot of money to save the girl's face. If this is not deep feelings, what is it?"
Li Yunran's heart was beating fast, and he stared at the person in front of him with burning eyes.
He is tall, handsome, and the son of a noble family. His family background is extraordinary and his future is limitless.
She will be one of them in the future, and she will make all those who don’t care about her respect her and look up to her existence!
Just when everyone was expecting Xu Huaili to say something to Li Yunran.
Li Yunran straightened his neck and put on his most perfect smile to greet his greeting, "My dear..."
Xu Huaili said to Xu Jinlan calmly, "Mother asked you to return home as soon as possible!"
Li Yunran's smile froze on her face. Before she could even call him "cousin", Xu Huaili broke her heart again, "Whatever you want."
He turned around and frowned and asked Xu Jinlan in a deep voice, "Did you hear that?"
Xu Jinlan was also stunned there. She said "oh" in a daze, and Xu Huaili left the two of them without hesitation.
Li Yunran's smile no longer existed. Everything that had just happened seemed to be mocking his self-righteousness.
Including the voices of discussion that I used to be proud of, now they seem to be cutting my flesh, torturing me piece by piece.
"This,..." Xu Jinlan was at a loss. What happened to her second brother? ?
Didn't he hear those voices?
My cousin actually committed suicide by jumping into the lake for him!
Li Yunran's eyes were red, and she pinched her palms with her fingers. The huge pain spread from her fingertips to her heart. She could feel what it felt like to have a heartache.
Xu Huaili did not hesitate and set off in another direction.
This time it was heading towards Xiao Tingyun, but there were so many people here that it was hard to tell who it was for a moment.
"Hey? Why does he seem..." Yang Mingzhu frowned and looked again and again, and even looked behind her to see if there was anyone.
Xiao Tingqi naturally took over the conversation and murmured, "It seems to be coming in our direction..."
Liu Yuhua was a little excited. "Wow, it turns out that good-looking people look so good when they walk! They look even better up close!"
Yang Mingzhu: …
Xiao Tingqi: ...
This girl is hopeless!
Xiao Tingyun had a feeling that something was wrong and suddenly wanted to hide somewhere.
