121 Who gave you the courage to say that about her? ?
"Since Miss Xiao said so, we won't force it, cousin." Li Yunran said repeatedly.
She also didn't want to dine with Xiao Tingyun, for she was afraid that her resentful look would soon be unhidden.
Xu Huaili's face condensed, and he felt a little irritated. He said lightly, "If that's the case, then forget it."
After saying goodbye to Xiao Tingqi, Xiao Tingyun went into his private room.
When the door closed, Xu Huaili's face immediately darkened. Without even looking at Li Yunran, he said coldly, "Don't play these tricks again in the future!"
Then he strode back to the private room.
Li Yunran was left biting her lips tightly, her eyes red.
Xing Er was worried and wanted to comfort the young lady, "Young lady..."
She couldn't understand why General Xu couldn't see her young lady, even though her heart and eyes were clearly filled with General Xu.
Li Yunran raised his head and blinked his red eyes, not wanting to let the tears fall, "Let's go."
She didn't want anyone to laugh at her, especially in front of Xiao Tingyun!
Xu Huaili walked in with a gloomy face. Liu Chao was surprised, "What happened?"
Xu Huaili sat down, raised his hand and drank a glass of wine, which flowed into his throat with a burning feeling, and whispered, "Nothing."
Nothing? He doesn't look like he has nothing to do.
Liu Yuhua looked at him carefully and said nothing, just ate her food quietly.
She and her elder brother also met Xu Huaili and others by chance, so they made an appointment to have dinner together at Tianxiang Tower.
The eldest brother was getting married soon and had a good relationship with Xu Huaili, so he naturally agreed very readily and asked Xu Huaili to help with the wedding.
Li Yunran also came back with a natural smile.
But Xu Jinlan immediately noticed her cousin's slightly red eyes.
After Li Yunran sat down, he asked in a worried voice, "Cousin, what's wrong with you?"
Why does my second brother look so unhappy? My cousin also looks like she has been crying and feels wronged.
Li Yunran smiled calmly, but his face was filled with worry. "Nothing. I just met Miss Xiao San and chatted with her for a while."
Hearing this, Xu Jinlan subconsciously felt that her cousin was wronged, and immediately frowned, and spoke even more unkindly, "She bullied you again? Why do you always meet her?"
Xu Huaili's eyes turned cold. Li Yunran lowered his eyebrows and shook his head, "No."
Although the words were "no", to Xu Jinlan it sounded like Xiao Tingyun had indeed bullied his cousin.
"I……"
"What!! Sister Xiao!!!??" Liu Yuhua's eyes lit up and she interrupted Xu Jinlan's righteous speech.
Xu Jinlan: …
Forgot about this guy who only looks at the face...
Liu Yuhua immediately asked, "Sister Xiao is here too?"
Li Yunran's eyes darkened, he looked up and nodded gently with a smile, "Yes, and it just so happens that she's next door."
"Then why not let her come with us?" Liu Yuhua excitedly asked someone to come over to have dinner together so that she could see that amazing face again.
"she……"
Li Yunran paused when he mentioned this, and then his face was helpless, "She probably doesn't want to come. My cousin and I have already invited her, and she said she has something to do and will go back home early."
Liu Yuhua was a simple-minded person and didn't think too much about it. Instead, Liu Chao felt something was wrong.
Why does this sound like a subtle hint that Miss Xiao San is arrogant?
Huaili and she were both unable to invite her, how arrogant she must be.
"This Third Miss Xiao is really arrogant."
As expected, Xu Jinlan made a sarcastic remark.
After all, her second brother was the General Zhenbei appointed by His Majesty himself. Even if he didn't want to come, with so many people here, he should at least give him some face and come to pay his respects.
It's really arrogant to dismiss him with just a word "I have something to do".
Even her elder brother Xiao Heming had to give face to his second brother, let alone her? ?
Xu Jinlan was so angry that she said dissatisfiedly, "I have seen her being arrogant and rude for a long time. Does she think she can do whatever she wants just because she is in poor health? No wonder the rumors say that she will not live..."
"Shut up!" Xu Huaili slammed the table and shouted!
The wine spilled all over the floor in an instant, and both Xu Jinlan and Li Yunran were shocked.
Liu Yuhua almost choked on a mouthful of meatball and patted his chest repeatedly.
Xu Jinlan didn't even dare to breathe, "Second brother, you..."
Xu Huaili's chest could not stop rising and falling, his breath was heavy, his face was ugly, and he almost shouted, "Who told you to say that about her? ! ! Who gave you the courage to say that about her! ! ! "
The person he loved so much was actually cursed by his own sister! ?
Liu Chao quickly tried to smooth things over, "Huai Li, don't be angry. She just spoke too quickly..."
"Why don't you admit your mistake to your brother?"
Xu Jinlan was frightened so much that her tears fell to the ground one by one. She apologized with sobs, "I'm sorry..."
"Don't let me hear it again, otherwise don't blame me for not caring about family ties!" Xu Huaili's tone was stern, not even like he was treating his own sister.
Liu Chao and Liu Yuhua looked at each other.
Li Yunran stared at the scene in front of him in a daze, and suddenly a string in his heart broke.
It seems that all the efforts are so ridiculous at this moment.
He...actually likes her so much?
For her, even his own sister would give in.
What about yourself?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room was very cold.
"Knock knock knock!" There was knock on the door.
"Enter!"
The waiter brought in a dish.
Seeing this, Liu Chao asked, "What's the matter?"
The waiter smiled and replied, "Miss Xiao from the private room next door said she ordered a plate of Drunken Duck for Master Liu."
Liu Chao was stunned. "Second Miss Xiao?"
"Yes, I heard that this was specially ordered for you. She even asked me to leave a message for you, saying that she thought the dish was delicious, so she sent a portion for you to try."
"Second Miss Xiao and Third Miss Xiao are both here?"
"yes."
Liu Chao immediately realized what was going on and asked the waiter to put the dishes down.
Liu Yuhua said, "Oh~" and said, "So it's because Miss Xiao Er is here, no wonder."
Xu Jinlan's face was covered with tears. She looked up in a daze. Only then did she understand. She loudly questioned Li Yunran, "Why didn't my cousin tell me that the second young lady of the Xiao family was also here?"
Liu Chao is here, and they are fiancée, and they are currently discussing their marriage, so it is only right for them to avoid suspicion.
Li Yunran explained in disbelief and grievance, "I... I didn't say anything. It was indeed the Third Miss of the Xiao family who said that she had to return home early because of something..."
He glanced at Xu Huaili carefully again and whispered, "My cousin can also testify."
"You——" Xu Jinlan was furious, her eyes seemed to be quenched with fire.
"That's enough!" Xu Huaili said in a deep voice, "Have you had enough?"
"It's you who insisted on misunderstanding others, who can you blame?"
Liu Yuhua didn't care about all this. She couldn't wait to taste the Drunken Duck. She urged Liu Chao to take a bite quickly with her eyes so that she could pick up her chopsticks.
But Liu Chao had no appetite to eat now. These three people were making such an ugly scene, and only his silly sister was so heartless.
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he picked up a small piece with chopsticks and tasted it, then gestured to her lovingly to eat quickly.
Liu Yuhua nodded lovingly to thank her elder brother, then took a bite and started eating reverently.
It tastes really good!
Xu Jinlan was already in a bad mood. She hated Li Yunran but didn't know why, and was shocked by what her second brother said.
Liu Yuhua was still eating happily beside her, which made Xu Jinlan so angry that she stood up and ran out sobbing.
"Cousin!" Li Yunran frowned and shouted anxiously.
