Chapter 111: Insignificant

She kept glancing at Luo Fanxing, but unfortunately Luo Fanxing was not interested in anything and was concentrating on the exquisite set of tableware in front of her.

Ji Huayan thought about it for a while, and when he found nothing, he looked away.

Qin Yuezhi stood up and looked at Zhou Nuan, "Nuannuan, this is..."

"You are not important, Mom, just eat..."

Before Zhou Nuan finished speaking, Ji Huayan's eyes sparkled, and she put on a self-proclaimed gentle smile, and said to Qin Yuezhi enthusiastically, "Are you Brother Xiyue's mother? Hello, auntie, my name is Ji..."

Without waiting for her to say anything more, Zhou Nuan took a step forward and took the fruit basket from Ji Huayan's hand, "Miss Ji, Xiyue just said that this is a family dinner. We have received Boss Ji's kindness. We will keep the fruit basket, but not you."

She made a gesture of invitation, and her intention to drive the guest away was very obvious.

Ji Huayan felt a little embarrassed in front of everyone, her face turned blue and red, but fortunately she covered it with thick foundation so it didn't look too ugly.

"Brother Xiyue." She looked at Gu Xiyue softly, hoping that he would say something for the sake of her parents.

However, her plan obviously failed, as Gu Xiyue didn't even glance at her.

No one in the room, including her good cousin Zhang Xi and Tian Yanjing who had greeted her with a smile before, spoke up for her. Instead, they all looked at her strangely, as if they were looking at an unwelcome, uninvited guest.

Throughout Ji Huayan's life of more than 20 years, she had never been treated like this. As the orphan of a martyr, she was welcomed and respected wherever she went, and her life had always been smooth sailing. But who would have known that since she met Zhou Nuan, a country woman, everything changed, and things became very difficult for her.

How could she swallow this?

Ji Huayan blinked her eyes, hiding the hatred in them, and managed an ugly smile with great difficulty, "It just so happens that I have something else to do, so I won't be eating here with you. I'll leave first."

After finding a way out, she walked out reluctantly.

As soon as she stepped out, the door behind her was ruthlessly slammed shut.

Ji Huayan pinched her fingers tightly, her facial features distorted.

The annoying person left, Zhou Nuan clapped her hands, smiling, "It's okay, eat."

The stagnant atmosphere suddenly relaxed, everyone relaxed, laughed and started eating and drinking, and the atmosphere returned to its previous relaxed and warm state.

Zhang Xi held the chopsticks absentmindedly. Seeing Zhou Nuan about to walk over, she opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.

After finally making up her mind, Zhou Nuan was stopped by a look from He Yang before she could even call out "Zhou Nuan".

He Yang's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes were cold, "Eat your food, so much food can't stop you from eating?"

Zhang Xi still couldn't help but said, "Old He, she is my cousin after all. Her biological father sacrificed his life for the country. For her biological father's sake..."

"I know her biological father is a hero, and I admire him very much, but this doesn't give Ji Huayan a reason to do whatever she wants."

She had previously used her status as the descendant of a martyr to pressure people in the department store to give her a good position, although she failed. She also instigated others to commit crimes just because she was jealous that others' business was better than hers, and she almost got herself hurt.

It was even more outrageous now. If he guessed correctly, from his man's perspective, Ji Huayan seemed to have some special thoughts about Gu Xiyue, who had a wife and children. From the moment he entered the door to the moment he left, his eyes never left Gu Xiyue, and that look showed that he was determined to win him over.

If you know that something is wrong but still insist on doing it, that is not inspirational, that is a crime, a moral crime.

How could the descendants of martyrs have such terrible character? It is really unbelievable.

"Zhang Xi, I warn you to stay away from her! Don't indulge her blindly because of the sacrifices made by her biological father. That is her biological father's greatness and has nothing to do with her."

Zhang Xi gritted his teeth and dared not speak again.

He Jiajia didn't notice anything was wrong between her parents. She was staring at Su Hang at the other table. Seeing Su Hang put down his chopsticks and leave, she quickly said to He Yang, "Dad, I'm full. Can I go out and play?"

He Yang was angry at his wife for not being able to distinguish right from wrong, and he didn't want to care about her. He waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, be careful, don't touch other people's things."

He Jiajia responded sweetly, then got down from the table and chased after the tall and thin figure with her short legs.

"Su Hanghang, Su Hanghang, wait for me..."

Su Hang, who was walking quickly on the stairs, paused and continued to move forward, but his pace slowed down, slow enough for He Jiajia, who had short legs, to catch up.

"Su Hanghang." He Jiajia chased after him and hung behind him. "I heard from Teacher Liu that you are going to change classes?"

"..Um."

"Why do you want to change shifts?" He Jiajia's eyes were full of confusion, and she seemed to have thought of something aggrieved and asked, "Is it because I always bother you and ask you to teach me that you want to change shifts?"

She was very nervous, raised her thin little hand and swore, "I will never disturb you in class again, can you not change classes?"

If he changes shifts, who will give her homework to copy? Wang Ailun also dropped out of school. Except for Su Hanghang, everyone around her is just as stupid as her. What will she do in the future?

Thinking of this, He Jiajia was about to cry.

"..." Su Hang stopped and glanced at He Jiajia who was about to cry. He softened his heart and said, "You didn't disturb me during class."

He slept most of the time in class, so he didn't need to listen to such simple questions. She didn't disturb his class, but she disturbed his sleep. Besides, he didn't change classes but skipped grades.

He skipped a grade not because of this, but because he had to.

"Ah? Then you won't change shifts?" He Jiajia was very happy.

Su Hang didn't answer her directly, but just avoided the main point, "He Jiajia, you have to study hard, don't always rely on others, what you copy is not yours, do you know?"

He spoke in a mature tone, but seeing He Jiajia's confused look, he felt helpless, "Don't call me Su Hanghang anymore."

The two children walked up while talking. Zhou Nuan looked at them with amusement and poked Gu Xiyue with her hand, "You, as an uncle, must set a good example. If the children learn from you, they won't be able to say nice things."

She had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and she looked at him with a reproachful and coquettish look, which made Gu Xiyue's heart flutter.

The banquet lasted until the evening. After drinking to their heart's content, everyone left in twos and threes. Luo Chenxing rushed over at the last minute, not to attend the housewarming party, but to pick up Luo Fanxing.

After politely thanking him and rejecting He Tao's offer to give her a ride, Luo Chenxing presented Zhou Nuan with a gift, congratulated her, and left with Luo Fanxing.

An unfriendly gaze that could not be ignored kept following him, and Luo Chenxing frowned slightly.

baffling.
