Wen Qinglian raised an eyebrow and looked back and forth at the two of them. "Why? Little sister, do you know him?"
That amused look was obviously joking about the relationship between the two.
Wen Xi was also puzzled, "Xiao Shaoyan, why did you move here?"
Xiao Shaoyan smiled reservedly, "Wen Xi, I said I would follow you."
In one sentence, I could hear a different flavor.
Wen Xi felt terrified. Was this guy the reincarnation of a sticky candy? How could he catch up so quickly?
Wen Qinglian glanced at Xiao Shaoyan in surprise, and intuitively felt that this handsome boy was interested in her younger sister.
Wen Xi was speechless, "Did you kick them out overnight? They were living well!"
Xiao Shaoyan shrugged. "No, I paid a pretty high price to buy it. They seemed quite happy. At first they said they didn't have enough time, so I gave them a little more money. Now, they moved out in just one day and one night."
This is not low, it makes people tremble.
Wen Xi said meaningfully, "After all, they are from the Xiao family, they are really rich."
"Xiao family?"
Wen Qinglian frowned, and looked at Xiao Shaoyan with a different look, "Judging from your age, are you Chairman Xiao Changyi's son?"
When Xiao Shaoyan heard his father's name, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and he said politely, "Yes, you are Wen Xi's sister, right? I once heard your name from my father. He praised you as the most intelligent successor in the industry and even jokingly said that he wanted to poach you to join the Xiao family's business."
Wen Qinglian smiled briskly, "Yes, he said that to my face, but since then I rarely see him in public. I heard he's now living in seclusion behind the scenes."
The news of Xiao Changyi's disappearance has been blocked. It was announced to the outside world that he was unwell, and Xiao Changji was in full control of the power. In fact, there is no news that cannot be leaked. There are rumors among the family that he disappeared mysteriously and his life or death is still unknown.
Xiao Shaoyan suppressed the dim light in his eyes and smiled, "Yes, I think his body should be recovering soon, and he will be back in everyone's sight soon, right, Wen Xi?"
When that little look came over, Wen Xi almost wanted to roll his eyes.
Why cue her for no reason?
"How about you guys chat, I have something else to do, we can chat later when we have time."
Wen Xi didn't want to bother with the arrogant Young Master Xiao, so he waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"Wen Xi! I was planning to invite you over to live with me. After all, we've known each other for a while and we've become new neighbors. Why don't you do me the honor of coming over for dinner?"
Xiao Shaoyan's sad eyes drifted over.
Wen Qinglian asked, "Little sister, you've been busy for a few days. Do you have anything else to do today?"
Wen Xi stopped and said helplessly, "It's like this. The Nangong family sent me an invitation to attend the birthday banquet of the head of the Nangong family. I plan to leave after breakfast. It's in the neighboring Hanzhou City, so it will take quite a while, just in time for the banquet tonight."
"Nangong family?"
Wen Qinglian lowered her eyes and thought for a while. "The Nangong family has a great influence among the Xuanmen families. If they really invite you, then you should go. I'll ask the driver to take you there."
"No need, sister!"
Xiao Shaoyan raised his lips and smiled, "What a coincidence! The Nangong family also sent me an invitation. Wen Xi and I are neighbors, so it's very convenient for us to go. I can just drive her along."
The word "sister" came so smoothly that Wen Qinglian was speechless for a moment. She looked at Wen Xi and said with a smile, "Okay, you guys can do whatever you want. Sister, I have to go to work. See you later."
Wen Qinglian ran away first. Wen Xi looked at the young man's face with a cunning and smug smile on his face, and was speechless.
Well, it looks like we have to go to the Nangong family this time.
Wen Xi simply changed into a Chinese cheongsam, which outlined her graceful figure. She casually picked up a white jade hairpin and tied up her long hair, revealing her fair and graceful neck.
When Wen Xi took the invitation and walked out of the house, Xiao Shaoyan was already standing in the yard waiting for her in a suit and tie. The boy had two buttons of the white shirt inside his suit unbuttoned, and his posture was noble but revealed a sense of arrogance and alienation.
When Xiao Shaoyan saw Wen Xi dressed like this, he was stunned at first. His clear eyes gradually turned darker and a smile appeared on his face.
"Okay, let's go."
"Young Master Xiao is personally serving as the driver today?"
Wen Xi got into Xiao Shaoyan's sports car and asked him jokingly.
Xiao Shaoyan said, "That's right. Back when my leg was still intact, I even formed a racing team. Ordinary people couldn't ride in my car."
"Really? Then I'm truly honored!"
"Well, that's good to know!"
Xiao Shaoyan responded frankly and bluntly, then hesitated for a moment and asked, "When do you plan to deal with Zou Zheng's matter?"
"You want to ask me when I will find your father."
Wen Xi said it calmly.
Xiao Shaoyan pursed his lips and said nothing.
Wen Xi said, "Everything depends on fate. You never know when we might meet each other on the road."
Xiao Shaoyan frowned slightly, his brows gloomy, and didn't ask any more questions.
They drove for several hours and Wen Xi took a nap. In the afterglow of the sunset, their car finally reached Baiyun Mountain.
Baiyun Mountain rises high into the clouds, and amidst the sea of clouds, stretches of Chinese-style manors stretch as far as the eye can see.
Luxury cars were parked at the gate, and those who came to attend the birthday party were either rich or noble. It can be seen that the Nangong family has a high status among the Xuanmen families.
As soon as Wen Xi and Xiao Shaoyan got out of the car, someone came forward respectfully, took the keys and went to park the car.
"Sir and Madam, welcome to the Nangong family to attend the patriarch's birthday banquet. Please show us your invitation. The patriarch and the guests are already waiting at the table."
The butler, who was wearing a Chinese-style jacket, smiled gently. After reading their invitation, he bowed politely and invited them in.
The huge manor was crowded with guests, all dressed formally and chatting with each other.
Wen Xi and Xiao Shaoyan were exceptionally outstanding in both appearance and temperament, and attracted attention as soon as they appeared at the banquet.
"Isn't this Young Master Xiao?"
A sharp voice sounded, and a man in a neat suit came over with a glass of red wine, looking at Xiao Shaoyan in surprise, "Mr. Xiao, is your leg healed?"
Xiao Shaoyan's expression was cold, "It's already healed."
"Then why don't you go out? I remember you came to me specifically to ask for treatment for your leg. I thought you couldn't be cured and would have to stay at home for the rest of your life."
The man raised his glass and smiled with a hint of malice.
Xiao Shaoyan sneered, "Nangong Chi, do you know why I didn't cure you? It's because your Nangong family's cultivation is still a little shallow. Otherwise, why would I be standing here talking to you right now? If you have this kind of free time, you might as well think about how to improve yourself."
