Chapter 150 You Are the Only Peach Blossom
Being scolded in front of Xu Xian, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhai Jin's face, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction, let alone act coquettishly to get away with it.
"I'm sorry, Mom. I was reckless." Zhai Jin apologized while holding his breath.
After she finished speaking, she inadvertently glanced at Xu Xian who was standing opposite her, only to see that she was maintaining a hypocritical smile, as if she was mocking her.
A hint of satisfaction flashed across Mother Zhai's eyes, and she remained elegant and decent like a noble lady. She smiled apologetically at Jiang Shibai and Xu Xian, "I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself. Jinjin is too ignorant and has been spoiled by us since she was a child."
It sounded like he was scolding Zhai Jin for being inappropriate, but in fact he was just looking for a way to get out of the situation.
According to common sense, Jiang Shibai and Xu Xian should reply with a polite word like "It's okay".
But neither of them was the type to play by the rules. Jiang Shibai said "hmm" expressionlessly when he heard this, and he was not very interested.
Xu Xian didn't even react. Zhai Jin was of no importance to her.
Besides, her ignorance is obvious to all and everyone knows it well.
The harmonious atmosphere froze for a moment.
Several people stood face to face, and Zhai Jin's stiff expression suddenly became extremely ugly. She clenched the handbag in her hand, and the strap of the expensive and high-end luxury bag was deformed in her palm.
Perhaps seeing the awkward atmosphere, Father Zhai continued with the previous topic, his tone revealing a hint of pride and complacency.
"We're here today to have dinner with Mr. Chen and his family from Weike Real Estate. Jinjin and their eldest son are getting married soon. Bai and your wife must come to the wedding tomorrow!"
The tone of his words was very firm, as if today's dinner had determined their future marriage.
Xu Xian subconsciously glanced at Zhai Jin, whose presence had weakened as she stood beside Zhai's father and mother, and saw that her usually reserved eyes had now become dull.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly when she saw this, and she probably knew that Zhai Jin did not like Mr. Chen's eldest son, as Zhai's father mentioned.
The name "Vico Real Estate" is well-known. Ten years ago, it was one of the top real estate leading companies in Hai City and even in the whole country. However, with the decline of the real estate industry in recent years, its influence has gradually declined.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and at the very least, it is more powerful than the Zhai family. No wonder Zhai's father looks like he has found a treasure.
As for Mr. Chen’s eldest son, he is also a well-known figure in the circle. He is not as good as his father in the business world, but he is a well-known negative example of rich second-generation entrepreneurs.
Not to mention his repeated failures in his career, he is also a fun-loving playboy, often getting involved in gossip and scandals that make headlines.
Any prominent figure in the upper class would not marry his daughter to Mr. Chen's eldest son, unless he only cared about the benefits of the marriage and did not care about his daughter's life or death.
She suddenly felt that Zhai's father and mother might not love Zhai Jin, and their only daughter was just a convenient tool for marriage.
Zhai Jin noticed her vague gaze and glared back at her secretly, with jealousy and malice in his eyes not concealed at all.
Xu Xian saw her hateful eyes and sneered at himself, thinking that other people's fate had nothing to do with her.
If she is really unwilling, no one can force her, not even her blood relatives.
Everyone will give up some things that seem to be valuable but are actually unimportant to her for the sake of her inner desires.
Seeing her look away, a spark of fire flashed in Zhai Jin's eyes. She felt that Xu Xian really didn't take her seriously.
She lost all her face at this moment.
It is obvious that her family background and abilities are better than hers, and Xu Xian is far inferior to her.
Why did she want to marry the gentle and wealthy Shi Bai?
She could only obey her family's arrangement and marry a womanizer.
She didn't dare to resist, nor could she resist, otherwise the family property would not fall into her hands. She could only obey her parents' ideas.
After suffering a loss at the Jiang family manor last time, she didn't dare to go forward and ask for trouble again, but she was still unwilling to accept it. Why wasn't her marriage partner Jiang Shibai?
The person he is planning to marry now is just a hopeless person. Compared with the brilliant Brother Shi Bai, he is just a tiny speck of dust in the air.
If she could marry Brother Shi Bai, her parents would not force her to marry Mr. Chen's son.
Vico Real Estate is no match for the Jiang Group, and Playboy is no match for the chosen one.
Jiang Shibai's eyes never fell on Zhai Jin for a second. His voice was gentle, but without too much emotion, "Congratulations."
As he finished speaking, he casually mentioned it, a hint of laughter in his voice, "My wife and I are going to have our wedding next spring, and Uncle Zhai and his family must come to attend."
Xu Xian's lips twitched slightly when she heard this. She felt that Jiang Shibai's tone was not to invite others to the wedding, but more like to show off.
Unlike Zhai Jin's look of disbelief and almost losing his composure, Zhai's father and mother smiled kindly.
Father Zhai's voice was resounding, as if he was genuinely happy about their wedding. "Okay, I've watched you grow up. My family will definitely be there for your wedding."
After a few pleasantries, they took the elevator upstairs together.
The elevator stopped on the fifth floor. After the family got off and the doors closed automatically, Xu Xian said quietly, "It looks like Mr. Jiang's peach blossoms are almost out of season!"
The clear and ethereal voice contained an undisguised teasing tone.
Jiang Shibai put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the lips when she was not paying attention. His eyes were doting and he said, "You are the only peach blossom that will never be out of season."
Xu Xian took out his phone and glanced at his lipstick, fearing that he would kiss the flower. Seeing that the lipstick on his lips was intact, the corners of his lips raised slightly, "Where did you learn the skill of saying sweet words, Mr. Jiang? Teach me!"
The man spoke sweet words so effortlessly that sometimes she found it hard to resist.
Jiang Shibai put his arm around her waist and walked out of the elevator. His black leather shoes stepped on the soft carpet, and his footsteps were light and unhurried.
He raised his thick eyebrows, his words full of affection, "I naturally learned it for you without any teacher. There's no need to learn sweet words in front of the right person."
Xu Xian didn't believe his nonsense and had already reached the door of the box, but they didn't continue chatting.
As soon as you enter the door, you are hit by the deafening sound of ghosts howling and wolves howling. At the karaoke bar, a butterfly is holding a microphone and singing love songs alone.
Under the dim light, Du Yuanzhou, wearing a floral shirt, stood on the stage with his eyes half-closed. The light and shadow of the flashing lights occasionally passed over his enchanting face. His mouth opened and closed, and he sang heart-wrenchingly.
The main reason is that he is tone-deaf and his singing is not pleasant.
He sang the soothing love song in a way that sounded like a Liangshan hero.
Li Nanyan, who was chatting about gossip with Jiang Shixin, noticed the two of them and stood up immediately.
"Baby, you're finally here. If you hadn't come, I would have been poisoned to death by his singing." Li Nanyan pushed Jiang Shibai away, naturally took Xu Xian's hand, and pulled her to sit on the sofa.
Xu Xian glanced at Du Yuanzhou, trying his best to ignore the unpleasant singing beside his ears, and smiled softly, "Did he break up?"
She didn't think that Du Yuanzhou, who had been around many women, would be heartbroken, after all, he was the one who dumped others.
But the song he sang was so sad and painful that she had to ask.
