Chapter 89 Who are you calling senior?
On Jiang Yao's side, in order to avoid the harassment and prying eyes of others, he simply went to the terrace with Qin Jinxiu to chat about some private matters.
"So, Lu Xuan already knows your identity, and he's still trying to pester you and win you back?"
Qin Jinxiu originally just wanted to know whether Lu Xuan continued to harass Jiang Yao after that day, but he didn't expect to learn about this situation and thought it was ridiculous.
"I ignored him. But you, he didn't target you later, did he?"
Jiang Yao expressed concern in return.
As far as she knew, Lu Xuan had always regarded Qin Jinxiu as his mortal enemy.
"Just him?"
Qin Jinxiu sneered disdainfully and said nonchalantly.
"The Lu family is currently embroiled in lawsuits and is already overwhelmed. Unless he seeks help from the Lu family, he will be no match for me."
"Lu family?"
Jiang Yao was a little surprised. In fact, he had heard about the Lu family before, but most of it was just fragments.
Qin Jinxiu briefly explained to her the huge and complicated family relationships of the Lu family.
Jiang Yao suddenly realized.
No wonder she always felt that the Lu family was arrogant and conceited. It turned out that they had such a backer behind them.
But she didn't care. In any case, the Lu family had nothing to do with her.
If they dare to take advantage of her, she will never be polite to them.
"No matter what, I will stand by you and help you."
Qin Jinxiu turned his head and looked at her, his beautiful peach blossom eyes flashing with tenderness and affection.
"If you don't mind, you can even let me pretend to be your boyfriend and get rid of those unnecessary entanglements."
When Jiang Yao heard this, he immediately realized something and quickly avoided his sight.
"No need to go to all that trouble. Let's go back to the hall first!"
Qin Jinxiu felt a little disappointed, but he didn't force it in the end.
The two turned around and walked back, but Jiang Yao's high heels accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt that was dragging on the ground behind her, and she stumbled and fell forward.
Qin Jinxiu quickly reached out to help her.
At this moment, a pair of hands reached out from her left side at a faster speed, one hand held her arm, and the other hand hugged her waist to stabilize her body.
The slightly warm temperature of his palm touched her skin.
Jiang Yao looked up in surprise and saw a pair of extremely handsome faces.
"Senior, why are you like this?"
Li Beiting's eyes were deep and complex as he stared at the bright face.
It was not until this moment that it was confirmed that she was indeed the daughter of the Jiang family!
"I……"
Thinking about how he was the one who proposed to cancel the engagement, he found it difficult to speak for a moment.
"You can let go now!"
Qin Jinxiu's chilling voice suddenly rang out.
"He's just a senior. Hugging a girl like that will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."
Of course he remembered this guy.
The last time they met, she deliberately misled him, making him think that he and Jiang Yao were lovers living together.
Oh wow, it turns out he’s just a senior!
Now he's here to steal the spotlight again.
It's like Sima Zhao's intention is known to everyone.
Li Beiting finally reacted and let go of Jiang Yao.
However, when facing Qin Jinxiu, he stood up straight and spoke slowly.
"There's no misunderstanding. I'm Li Beiting from the Li family. I'm engaged to the Jiang family. I was late and made Yaoyao wait for a long time."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Yao's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at him in disbelief.
What? Senior Li is actually the marriage partner of the Li family?
Although there were many doubts, to be honest, she had never had such an association before.
Maybe, he is just too good!
She thought that the president of Liheng Group was his most hidden disguise.
Unexpectedly...
I was so shocked for a moment that I didn't notice his affectionate way of addressing myself.
Qin Jinxiu noticed the sovereignty declaration in his words.
He sneered in anger, "Oh? How come I've never heard of this? Could this be another one of Mr. Li's wishful thinking?"
There was sarcasm in his words.
Li Beiting had no expression on his face and spoke indifferently.
"This is a private matter between our two families, so Mr. Qin, an outsider, shouldn't worry about it."
Qin Jinxiu retorted, "Outsider? Yaoyao and I have known each other much longer than you. It's still unclear who is the outsider!"
You can't snatch her away in front of her!
The two men were like they had eaten gunpowder. They were arguing with each other, neither of them giving in, with crackling flames burning in their eyes.
Jiang Yao was caught in the middle and was a little confused for a moment.
Old Master Jiang, who was far away, was also quite surprised when he saw this scene.
Why is that brat from the Li family here?
Doesn’t he look down on his daughter Yaoyao?
Old man Li standing next to him was even more confused than him.
What does this mean?
How come we started chatting so quickly?
Doesn’t Beiting already have someone he likes?
Could it be that he changed his mind so quickly because the girl from the Jiang family is so pretty?
Could it be that my eldest grandson is a scumbag?
Thinking of this, he felt a buzzing in his brain, like a bolt from the blue.
…
On Jiang Yao's side, just when she was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do, Old Master Jiang came over.
"Yaoyao."
Jiang Yao, as if he had seen a savior, quickly walked to Old Man Jiang and called out obediently, "Grandpa."
Mr. Jiang has a kind face.
"Just now I saw you chatting with the young master of the Qin family for a long time, and you seemed very happy. It seems that this banquet of mine was not in vain!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words.
"Grandpa Jiang, you can just call me Xiao Qin. I haven't had time to wish you a happy birthday yet. Seeing you, I feel as warm as seeing my own grandfather."
I have to say that Qin Jinxiu is very good at dealing with things. When he heard this, he took the initiative to come forward and try to please him.
Old Master Jiang laughed heartily with satisfaction, "Good boy, you are thoughtful and have made our Yaoyao so happy. That's really great."
Old Master Jiang has always been very dignified to outsiders, but this time, his attitude towards Qin Jinxiu can be described as pleasant.
"Grandpa, you're too kind." Qin Jinxiu smiled modestly, "As long as Yaoyao is happy, I'm satisfied."
Li Beiting, who was watching his performance from the side, was so angry that his teeth were itching.
He suppressed the frustration in his heart, walked forward, and took out a beautifully wrapped gift.
"Grandpa Jiang, I'm so sorry I'm late. I wish you a happy birthday and good health. I heard you enjoy calligraphy and painting. This inkstone is an antique from the Qing Dynasty. I bought it at an auction and brought it to you."
Li Beiting was sincere and prepared the gift with great care. I'm afraid he has never been so attentive even to his own old man.
It’s a pity that Mr. Jiang treated him coldly and didn’t appreciate it at all.
"Haha, I can't afford to accept Mr. Li's gift! You should leave it to your grandfather."
He was filled with hatred when he thought that this brat dared to cancel his granddaughter's engagement.
Li Beiting was complaining in his heart.
Thinking about how he had once vowed that "I would never marry someone from the Jiang family", he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.
Jiang Yao could probably guess why Mr. Jiang was angry, so he hurriedly took his arm to smooth things over.
"Grandpa, you should accept it! This is also a gift from the senior. It's good to keep it as a collection, right?"
"Senior?" At this time, Jiang Haozhe's voice came from far away.
He looked at Li Beiting with a stern expression and asked, "Why is he here? And, Yaoyao, who did you just call senior?"
