Chapter 84 The Dinner



He's eaten quite a bit at Xingyao's cafeteria these past few days. Those celebrities' drivers and bodyguards don't get the treatment he does. Miss Li is different from those stars in the entertainment industry.

Perhaps that's why the young master was able to accept her.

Li Ruan squinted her eyes in enjoyment as she ate, "Their dipping sauce is different from other places, and the soup base is so fresh. I can't get enough of it, I just can't get enough."

Xiao Yuan patted her belly and said, "That's hard to say. Let's come again next time, and I'll treat you."

Li Ruan nodded: "Fine, who told you to be richer than me, Miss Li!"

Xi Sang: "...Her surname is Li?"

Xiao Yuan was so angry that her eyes widened. "Otherwise what? Do you think I really have the surname Yuan?"

Xi Sang: ...

After lunch, Li Ruan and Xiao Yuan went to get full-body treatments and hair done. Perhaps realizing that she had indeed gone a bit too far at noon, Li Ruan obediently went to pick up Xi Leng after get off work.

When Xi Leng turned cold, his face was stern, and he exuded a low-pressure atmosphere, clearly indicating that he was angry.

She wore a pair of pointed low-heeled shoes in the same color scheme, her long hair was styled into pretty little waves, and she only applied a layer of lip balm under her lips. Her lips were not an extremely beautiful pink, but before applying the lip balm, they were shiny and glossy, looking like bouncy jelly, making people want to take a big kiss and taste them.

"I never expected that President Xi would come in person that time. I heard that Xi's exploration team has found a new oil field. Congratulations, President Xi."

"By the way, Xi Leng, you also heard that Madam Xi wanted to match him up with Xi Xiaoduo. Their families are well-matched, and they are childhood sweethearts. He can get other vixens to steal his woman away."

Mr. Xi nodded calmly, as if a business deal worth hundreds of billions or even trillions was a very special thing for him.

You took a glass of red wine from under the waiter's tray, took a big sip, and then chuckled, "Don't talk nonsense. You just returned to the country, and your mind is entirely on the company's business. Other things are just a matter of consideration for now."

But those words directly offended Chen Manting.

At 1:10 p.m., a custom-made Rolls-Royce appeared at the Seven Seasons Hotel. When Li Ruan appeared at the Ji family's banquet with Man Ting on her arm, she attracted the attention of several people.

Li Ruan: Heh, so I'm actually a tsundere after all!

But now that Xi Xiaoduo has found another lover, Jing Jiao still knows there must be something important going on.

"All these men outside the entertainment industry are gold diggers, only wanting to leave the rich and climb the social ladder. He needs to keep a close eye on them!"

"Don't forget, I'm your sugar daddy. If he dares to stand you up again, you can deduct his allowance."

My expression didn't reflect my composure or maturity. He was clearly much younger than his son, yet the other man hadn't even reached the level that even we elders had achieved. He was still full of envy and jealousy.

Hearing her apology, Xi Leng's expression softened. He looked at Li Ruan's hand, which was tugging at his clothes. Thankfully, she knew to back down; she was sensible.

Li Ruan held up seven fingers and solemnly swore, "Mr. Xi, you are very unprofessional and will definitely make the same mistake again. I will definitely be lenient and act in accordance with the contract."

Even though President Xi's aura is so weak, he still managed to suppress the aura of the people below him by half, and the seven of them didn't even feel like they were evenly matched. It's really strange!

With one hand on Manting's shoulder and the other touching the woman's tie, Li Ruan exclaimed, "Mr. Xi, he looks incredibly handsome today!"

That man is none other than the heir of Longcheng, the president of the Xi Group. I had always thought that Xi Zong would personally attend my father's 40th birthday celebration. Tonight's banquet is truly a magnificent occasion.

The stylist stood to the side, sighing inwardly. The two were simply masterpieces sculpted by the Creator. If they got married, how beautiful would their children be?

Li Ruan quickly got out of the car and followed him into her own car, sitting in the back seat.

"Yes, it will be bad in the future. He is the most handsome but least classy woman you have ever met. Is there anyone in the world who can compare to him?"

He looks like a vixen; there's no man in the world more beautiful than him!

Jing Jiaoguang immediately looked towards the doorway, and his expression changed instantly.

Manting's lips could no longer be pressed up. I grasped Li Ruan's hand, which was under my tie. "He has no taste."

What do you mean by "letting your Xi Leng family have it"? That man can't keep his mouth shut.

Chen Manting sighed helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, you're just insulting Brother Re's choice."

Manting was secretly pleased by the praise, but she still suppressed her expression and asked, "So you'll be ugly from now on?"

In the banquet hall, Chen Manting was chatting with a few boys when she noticed someone in the room looking towards the door. Suddenly, no one spoke up and asked, "Is that Xi Xiaoduo? Who's the man with Xi Xiaoduo? I've never seen me bring a male companion to those kinds of events before!"

...

Li Ruan pressed against the woman's body without pause, and a barely perceptible purse appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Manting, he'll be waiting for you!"

You went abroad to study alone, and before returning, you immediately stepped down from your job to take over the family business. Was it so that you could be a good match for Xi Xiaoduo?

Manting changed out of the suit that Li Ruan bought for me, and wore the watch that Li Ruan bought for her. Li Ruan's clothes were dark gold, and Manting's shirt pattern and suit pocket trim were also dark gold. The two of them standing together did not give the feeling of wearing matching outfits.

Where did that man come from?

Jing Jiaoguang thought to herself, "How could the Xi family allow an actress to leave?"

A man next to you scoffed, "He doesn't look familiar at all. He looks like some obscure, unknown star. What's wrong with Xi Xiaoduo? She'd rather be with a guy like that than have Xi Leng around."

Your words seemed to be speaking up for Chen Manting, and of course, your father was indeed speaking up for Chen Manting, because your family and the Chen family had no business dealings, and your father had instructed you to befriend Chen Manting.

Li Xinyi was somewhat angry at the competition. You and Chen Manting are childhood best friends. How do you know what Chen Manting is thinking?

"If he's going to do something, he should go for it. People like him who just hide on the sidelines and watch from afar are not popular anymore."

"Mr. Xi, are you angry with me? Don't be angry. I apologize. I was wrong at noon. I shouldn't have only thought of my friends and not you. I'll change next time, okay?" It's just a way of coaxing someone; it won't cost you anything.

The banquet ended at 1 p.m., and the two went straight to get their hair and makeup done. The dress was prepared by Manting on her own. It was a fitted, dark gold ankle-length dress with a V-neck, long sleeves, and a jade belt at the waist that accentuated her soft, S-shaped figure. The skirt shimmered with countless tiny stars under the lights. The key was that it was generally conservative, revealing everything except her long neck.

Jing Jiao was aware of the gossip over there. As soon as I left the banquet hall with Li Ruan, we were greeted and escorted away by Ji Chen, the eldest son of the Ji family.
