Different from the lively atmosphere in the hall outside, although people were chatting in the private room, they were all doing so in a commercial way.
The bodyguard came behind Qin Yan, bent down and whispered something in his ear. Qin Yan, who had been maintaining a business smile, frowned after a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Sure?"
He looked at the bodyguard suspiciously, obviously not expecting Ning Xi to come to the birthday party.
"Yes, and Miss Mo seems to be Director Zhuang's niece." The bodyguard continued in a low voice.
Although Qin Yan had investigated Ning Xi's interpersonal relationships, he had not checked Mo You's, and had no idea that her uncle was the Director Zhuang in front of him who smiled like an old fox.
In this way, Ning Xi's explanation here also makes sense.
But the problem is, Ning Xi doesn't know he is here, let alone his true identity!
Although he previously suspected that Ning Xi had planned to approach Qin Yun and knew their identities, after spending some time with them, he could be sure of their identities, if nothing else.
She really didn't know.
And he didn't want to tell her specifically.
Therefore, I don't want her to discover my identity in such a sudden situation.
So, he ordered the bodyguard: "Don't let them in."
This "they" includes Mo You who has met him.
The bodyguard immediately understood and was about to leave when Qin Yan stopped him, saying, "Wait...pay attention to her safety."
The bodyguard understood again.
Director Zhuang, who was sitting across from Qin Yan, had already noticed something was wrong with him. As soon as his bodyguard left, he asked with a smile, "Boss Qin, what's up?"
"It's okay, just a small matter." Qin Yan curled his lips and smiled, not intending to disclose Ning Xi's identity.
Hearing him ask this, the others naturally knew better and stopped asking.
Ning Xi had no idea that someone was in a box just across the door, only ten meters away from her.
After taking the pulses of several ladies who were on good terms with the banker, the birthday banquet officially began.
Delicious dishes arrived one after another, and people came to the old lady to wish her a happy birthday in an endless stream, with drinks and good times, making the occasion very lively.
Although Ning Xi is able to socialize appropriately, he is still very lazy at heart.
When faced with lively scenes and some unnecessary social interactions, she tries to avoid them as much as possible.
So, she just sat in her seat and ate quietly, not participating at all.
When the birthday banquet was halfway through and she had almost finished eating, she stood up and planned to go out for some fresh air and find Mo You to talk to her about something.
But when she approached the banquet hall door, a child suddenly rushed out from the corner and bumped into her.
Ning Xi subconsciously dodged, and the child passed her and crashed directly into a banquet table in front.
He fell on the dishes, and as he slid, he grabbed the tablecloth and pulled the entire table to the ground.
This scene happened so quickly that the people around had no time to react. When they came to their senses, the banquet was already ruined and the child was sitting on the ground, crying loudly.
Ning Xi stood aside, frowning as she watched the crying child.
At the same time, they recognized the child as Gao Yufei's sister's son!
"Rui Rui!!" The woman's shrill voice shattered her eardrums. Gao Qinqin rushed over and pounced on Ning Xi, raising her hand and slapping her in the face, while cursing: "Why did you push my son! You vicious woman!"
A hint of revengeful pleasure flashed in his eyes!
But how could Ning Xi just sit there and take a beating?
Just as she was about to step back to avoid her slap, a strong hand grabbed Gao Qinqin's wrist and blocked her slap.
"What are you doing?!" Ruan Yibai stood in front of Ning Xi with a gloomy face and grabbed Gao Qinqin's wrist.
Gao Qinqin saw him, her eyes flickered with worry, but she quickly said, "She pushed my son! Ah, Ruirui, how are you? How are you?"
Gao Qinqin struggled to pull her wrist out of Ruan Yibai's hand. She did not go to look for Ning Xi, but went over and hugged her son in her arms.
The rest of the Gao family also came over, and Gao's mother asked worriedly, "What's going on? Ruirui, my Ruirui, how are you?"
The child didn't say anything, just sat on the ground and cried loudly.
Gao Qinqin pointed at Ning Xi and said, "Mom, I saw it. It was she who pushed Ruirui. It was she who pushed him!"
"I didn't!" Ning Xi said immediately.
She just dodged and didn't touch the child at all.
"Nonsense, I just saw it!" Gao Qinqin insisted.
Originally, she wanted her son to bump into Ning Xi and embarrass her, but she didn't expect that she actually dodged it. So she couldn't let her go easily.
Although Gao's mother didn't know what her daughter was thinking, she also hated Ning Xi. Just because she had slandered her son before, she couldn't let it go today!
So, he also accused: "How can you be so vicious, young man, to be so cruel as to harm a child!"
Gao Qinqin's husband, Yang Zilin, was even more ferocious. He grabbed a bottle of wine and pointed it at Ning Xi, saying, "How dare you bully my son! I'll make you pay!"
Ruan Yibai quickly protected Ning Xi behind him, frowned at them and said, "We need to find out what happened. We can't accuse someone of pushing the child based on your one-sided statement."
"How can it be just one-sided? I saw it with my own eyes! If you don't believe me, ask everyone else if they saw it too!" Gao Qinqin pointed at the crowd around her.
To be honest, this scene happened so quickly that no one noticed what happened, so even if she asked, no one else could answer.
Gao Qinqin also seized this opportunity and threw dirty water on Ning Xi.
"What's going on? What happened?" The noise was so loud that Mrs. Ruan and Mo's mother, who were at the front, came over. Seeing the plates of meat soup on the ground and the child covered in vegetables, both of them frowned tightly.
"My dear relatives, please help us to judge the truth! This young man has a vicious mind. He actually pushed my grandson and caused him to be in this state!" Gao's mother immediately complained to Mo's mother.
Mo's mother also recognized the child. He was the son of Mo You's elder sister, and her heart sank even more.
Regardless of what exactly happened, just the Gao family alone is a troublesome matter.
However, in order to ensure that her mother's birthday party could go smoothly, she stepped forward and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Don't be angry, dear in-law. I know Xiao Ning. She's my daughter's good friend. She's not a bad-hearted child. There must be a misunderstanding!"
"How could there be any misunderstanding? My daughter saw her pushing the child with her own eyes!" Gao's mother said angrily with a stern face.
Gao Qinqin insisted again: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, it was her who pushed my son!"
Seeing how confident they were, Mo's mother became unsure and could only look at Ning Xi.
Ning Xi frowned, her face slightly cold, and she only uttered three words: "I don't have any!" "Second update! I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival holiday! You can have a good rest tomorrow, but my dears, remember to come and see me! I will update continuously!"
