Chapter 763 I hope my employees will think the same as you
Xiao Shiqiu smiled faintly. "I'm really touched by your nostalgia. I never thought that you would think of something I bought with my money as a gift. I really hope my employees can think the same way as you. When they spend my salary, they will think in their hearts that this thing is a gift from Xiao Shiqiu."
The reporters present all laughed out loud when they heard this.
Xiao Shiqiu obviously didn't give He Qingrong any way out. If it were me, I would have probably run away, but He Qingrong remained calm and lifted up one side of her hair seductively.
The pair of diamond earrings she wore unexpectedly matched the pair of maple leaf earrings that Xiao Shiqiu wore on me.
The reporters were sharp-eyed and quickly noticed this. Someone immediately started whispering, "Boss Xiao's ex-wife and fiancée even have similar jewelry. Is this all to cater to Boss Xiao's taste?"
He Qingrong looked as if she had just seen my earrings and chuckled as she said, "I didn't expect Shiqiu's taste hasn't changed. These are exactly the same pair he gave me when we got engaged."
I finally understood. She came here today just to make things difficult for me. In front of the media, she made people think that Xiao Shiqiu was fickle. Even though she was nice to me now, she had experienced all these things before.
This trouble was directed at Xiao Shiqiu. I pinched him secretly, but he remained calm and just narrowed his eyes.
"Your memory is really bad. The engagement gift I gave you back then was a bracelet. Do I need to remind you who prepared that bracelet?" Xiao Shiqiu looked at her with a smile.
He Qingrong's face froze, a hint of panic flashing across her face. "Really? It's better not to talk about something that happened so long ago."
I couldn't help but be curious and asked quietly, "Who prepared the bracelet?"
Xiao Shiqiu lowered his voice and replied, "He's my cousin."
So that's how it is. He Qingrong has been Xiao Shiqiu's wife for eighteen years. Even though they have been separated, she psychologically believes that she is the rightful Mrs. Xiao. Even though I appeared after their divorce, she still feels that I stole her husband away.
Perhaps in her opinion, they have a daughter, and as long as Xiao Shiqiu does not remarry, even if they are divorced, others will still regard her as Mrs. Xiao.
But once Xiao Shiqiu remarried, she was truly confirmed as his ex-wife.
Xiao Shiru frowned impatiently and whispered a few words to the assistant beside her.
The assistant walked to the center of the venue and said loudly, "Dear media friends, it's almost time to enter the banquet. Since there are many guests at this banquet, many of whom have special identities, to avoid confusion, we will arrange for the media to enter and be seated in advance.
Of course, we know that there are still quite a few friends who would like to interview Ms. He. These friends can go to the side hall. The rest of you, please follow me."
The media were in an uproar. Some people didn't want to miss out on the rich family gossip and even pointed the camera at He Qingrong, apparently wanting to dig out some information from her before entering the scene.
But this little trick could not be hidden from the cunning assistant.
Xiao Shiru's assistant said with a forced smile, "Just a reminder, the media will only be allowed into the venue this once. The banquet can only accommodate a limited number of people. If you have more important interviews to attend, we won't waste your precious time."
Everyone present heard it, and anyone who wanted to continue interviewing He Qingrong would be giving up the opportunity to enter the banquet and take pictures.
As everyone was whispering, Xiao Shiqiu put his arm around my waist. As he passed He Qingrong, he politely said, "Please make way. The banquet entrance is on the other side. If you have an invitation, you can go in from there."
He Qingrong's face changed. I know that the Xiao family did not send her an invitation, so she came uninvited.
She was about to speak when Xiao Tiantian suddenly came around from behind us. She didn't know when she went in just now.
As soon as she came over, she took Xiao Shiqiu's arm affectionately: "Dad, some reporters said they want to take a family photo for us, shall we go over there?" She pointed to a place nearby and acted out the cute and innocent look of a little girl to the fullest.
Xiao Shiqiu put his arm around my waist and said to Xiao Tiantian, "Okay, I'm glad you think so. Your Aunt Xia and I are engaged, and we're a family now. It's only right that we take a family photo.
Where is the reporter you mentioned?"
Xiao Tiantian didn't expect her father to say that. After a moment's pause, she immediately pointed her finger at my nose and shouted angrily, "Why with her? Of course it's you and my mom. A family photo would only be the three of us. Who the hell is she..."
Before Xiao Tiantian could finish, Xiao Shiqiu interrupted her harshly, "Your mother and I are divorced. Xia Yimeng is my fiancée and will be my wife from now on. If you can't learn to respect my wife, then don't show up at the Xiao family anymore! And don't show up in front of me."
In fact, I had originally planned to have some open and covert struggles with He Qingrong and her daughter. Huang Tianyi even specially recommended me several novels about palace fighting and house fighting for me to learn.
She thought that if I, a weakling in combat, could learn even 30% of her skills, I wouldn't be bullied by that woman.
I read those novels with the mentality of taking an exam, but I didn't expect that they would be completely useless. Xiao Shiqiu and his sister took care of it for me. I just had to make a cameo appearance as the aggrieved, simple and innocent little white flower throughout the whole process.
Well, maybe this is called acting in your true colors.
I suddenly realized that if you are favored enough, you don’t have to muster up the courage or rack your brains to face the various bumps on the road of love, because your partner will happily pave the way for you, fearing that you will sprain your ankle and refuse to move forward.
Just like when facing the provocation from He Qingrong and her daughter, my identity was indeed a bit embarrassing, but from the time I came out until now, all I had to do was stand by beautifully, and lean on him weakly and unable to take care of myself. I didn't even have a chance to open my mouth, and the brother and sister settled all the problems.
At this time, all the media in the front hall had followed Xiao Shiru's assistant into the banquet hall. Seeing that there were no audience members, He Qingrong's charming smile disappeared. She told her daughter in a stiff tone: "Tiantian, Mommy won't go in. The Xiao family clearly doesn't welcome me."
Hearing her say this, I nodded seriously and finally had the chance to speak: "Yes, yes, those who are welcomed have invitations."
He Qingrong glared at me fiercely and said to Xiao Tiantian, "You are a member of the Xiao family, you can come in without an invitation. You stay here and give your mother's best wishes to your father and his new fiancée." She said the word "blessing" with gritted teeth, as if it was squeezed out from between her teeth.
After saying that, He Qingrong walked away with a twist of her waist, leaving Xiao Tiantian full of indignation.
Suddenly Xiao Tiantian shouted out the door, "Zicheng, come on, go in with me!"
