Chapter 261 Chapter 261 I thought I was hiding well
He wanted to say something else, but Xu Jiaxin stomped her feet and ran away without looking back.
Shen Qinghuan lowered her eyes, subtly hiding the smile in her eyes, and continued eating.
But after taking one bite, I lost my appetite.
"I'm sorry, my sister..." Xu Dongyao walked forward and wanted to apologize on behalf of Xu Jiaxin.
Shen Qinghuan raised her head, her lips curled up, "It's not the first day I've known her, and it's not the first time she's defended Li Mingzhu in front of me. I just can't understand why you're so smart, and your sister..."
She reached out and poked her head, the implication of her words being obvious.
Xu Jiaxin has a problem with her brain!
Xu Dongyao was stunned at first, then he smiled helplessly, "Maybe you are right."
Shen Qinghuan: "..."
Is this still my brother? He joins others in complaining about his own sister.
However, no matter what, Xu Dongyao is a pretty good person and worth making friends with.
"Why are you sitting here alone?" Xu Dongyao asked calmly.
He saw Shen Qinghuan as soon as she came in, and after that, his eyes rarely left her. If he hadn't had something urgent to do, he wouldn't have let Xu Jiaxin take advantage of the opportunity.
Shen Qinghuan curved her lips and said, "I'm a little tired. I want to sit down and rest for a while."
Xu Dongyao's eyes flickered slightly, and he lied without blushing or beating his heart: "I just happen to have nothing to do, so I'll sit with you for a while."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned and looked at him suspiciously.
As the most outstanding young man in the Xu family, how could he be free in such an occasion? Shouldn't he be pulled to entertain the guests?
Xu Dongyao lowered his eyes, "Why? Not welcome?"
Shen Qinghuan shook her head: "It's not that I'm not welcome, I'm just curious. In this kind of situation, shouldn't you be very busy?"
Xu Dongyao smiled: "Take a break from the busy schedule."
He would not tell Shen Qinghuan that the old lady's birthday party had another purpose, which was to arrange a blind date for him. Although he was unwilling, he could not directly refuse the kindness of his elders.
Shen Qinghuan: "Oh."
The atmosphere of the birthday party was very good, and the guests were talking and laughing, but most of them wanted their daughters to become the eldest grandson's wife of the Xu family. They had no hope for the one from the Jiang family, and wasn't the one from the Xu family still single?
Moreover, Xu Dongyao has a very good reputation and is one of the top figures in the legal community.
Yao Qian has a crush on Xu Dongyao.
Apart from Xu Jiaxin who accidentally found out about this, there was no one else. However, Xu Jiaxin always looked down on her.
She also came with her parents today, but she knew in her heart that with the status of their Yao family, she would never be in the eyes of the old lady of the Xu family.
As for Xu Dongyao, she didn't think he was the kind of person who didn't have the courage to pursue his own happiness.
This means that he doesn't like her.
But so what! From the moment she was sure of her feelings for him, she never thought that he would like her.
But she was determined to win.
Yao Qian was holding a glass of champagne while her mother chatted with friends. Her eyes crossed the crowd and fell on Xu Dongyao's face. How could he be with Miss Shen? Wasn't he going to entertain the guests?
Yao Qian thought for a while, mustered up the courage to walk over, "Mr. Xu, Miss Shen."
Shen Qinghuan had met Yao Qian several times, but she was not very familiar with him, as if she had no presence.
"Miss Yao." She smiled politely.
Xu Dongyao nodded at Yao Qian as a response.
Yao Qian didn't care about their estrangement at all. They were not very familiar with each other. If Xu Dongyao hadn't been here, she would never have come over on her own initiative.
"Can I sit next to you?"
Shen Qinghuan smiled, "Of course."
Yao Qian seemed flattered, and the smile on her face grew wider. She pretended to be casual and asked, "Mr. Xu, don't you have to entertain other guests?"
Shen Qinghuan pursed her lips and suppressed her laughter.
Xu Dongyao: "Take a break from your busy schedule."
Yao Qian was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her lips froze, but soon it spread again, "Mr. Xu is really humorous."
Xu Dongyao smiled warmly, shook the champagne in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp. "You guys have fun, I have something else to do, so I'll go now."
Shen Qinghuan: "Okay!"
Yao Qian's eyes dimmed slightly, but after a moment, they became bright as stars. She couldn't help but look at Xu Dongyao a few more times.
"Ms. Yao, the person has gone far away..." Shen Qinghuan raised the corners of her lips slightly with a gentle smile.
Yao Qian was stunned for a moment, the tips of her ears burning, and she pretended to be calm and replied: "Miss Shen, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Shen Qinghuan shook the high-heeled glass in her hand, and the corners of her lips curled up beautifully. She tilted her head to look at Yao Qian, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes seemed to be dyed with peach blossom water in March, shimmering with light.
"Since Miss Yao didn't understand, just pretend I didn't say anything."
“…”
A look of surprise flashed across Yao Qian's eyes.
She pursed her lips, her expression showing a bit of helplessness, "You saw it all? I thought I hid it well, but I didn't expect..."
Yao Qian said this and sighed slightly, as if she was very disappointed with herself.
"Have you ever heard of this saying, truly liking someone is like wanting to cough, and you can't hide it no matter what."
After hearing Shen Qinghuan's words, Yao Qian was stunned for a long time before she slowly came back to her senses with a red face, "You mean..."
Shen Qinghuan: "Yeah."
Yao Qian wanted to dig a hole right there and bury herself in it. It was so embarrassing. She thought she could keep it a secret, but in the end...
"That's right! I'm secretly in love with him, and..."
She deliberately leaned close to Shen Qinghuan's ear and whispered, "I know he is single now, and I am determined to get him."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, a trace of bewilderment flashed in her eyes, and then she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Then I wish you immediate success. Don't forget to invite me to your wedding banquet when the time comes."
If she had been more proactive at the beginning, the ending of her and Jiang Yu might not have been like this.
Yao Qian's eyes lit up, and she was eager to try. "Do you believe I can take him down?"
Shen Qinghuan couldn't help but smile and nodded seriously, "Miss Yao is so beautiful, has a good personality, and is so likable. I naturally believe that you can win over Lawyer Xu in one fell swoop."
"I think I can, too."
"come on!"
…
It was rare for Shen Qinghuan to have such a pleasant chat with someone. When Yao Qian was called away by her parents, the two added each other's green bubble and agreed to have afternoon tea together sometimes in the future.
When the birthday party ended, it was getting dark.
In full view of everyone, Jiang Yu held her hand again. She subconsciously tried to break free, but he held it even tighter.
Shen Qinghuan frowned and said nothing.
When the two of them walked to the door, they saw Shi Beichuan, who was with the people from the Shi family.
Shi's mother pulled Su Nian, the eldest daughter of the Su family, and no one knew what she said to Su Nian. Su Nian shyly glanced at Shi Beichuan next to her, while Shi's mother looked very satisfied.
Shen Qinghuan: "..."
Is this a blind date for Shi Beichuan? What about Shi Beichuan? Is he willing too?
