Lin Ying didn't expect Zhong Yuxiu to stand up and support Xie Xihe. She was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked, "What does this mean?"
"You're so persistent and don't know when to stop." Xie Xihe supported his head with one hand and spoke slowly.
Lin Ying's face turned pale in an instant, and then turned red under the teasing gazes from everyone.
She wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Su Jinhe, who came over after hearing the news.
Su Jinhe quickly stepped forward and pulled Lin Ying behind him. Without even looking at her, he turned to Zhong Yuxiu with a kind smile and said, "My wife was rude and offended Miss Zhong. I apologize to her on her behalf."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled lightly: "Second Young Master Su, you are too serious. I am just watching the fun. It is not a matter of whether I will offend or not. After all, the Second Young Master's wife has always been Miss Xie."
The smile remained unchanged: "At most, I just said a few words when I saw injustice."
The protective meaning in her words was so obvious that Su Jinhe couldn't help but look past her to look at Xie Xihe who was standing behind her.
When he saw this, he was stunned on the spot.
Under the bright lights, the girl's eyebrows and eyes are casual and relaxed, but her extremely unique appearance does not diminish her charm. Instead, she has a kind of contradictory beauty, which gives people a strong visual impact.
Once you see it, you can't take your eyes off it.
Su Jinhe stared blankly until a gaze filled with extreme coldness fell on him.
Su Jinhe's heart trembled slightly, and he looked over subconsciously, and immediately ran into Sheng Shijing's dark eyes.
Su Jinhe pulled the corners of his lips awkwardly, lowered his brows, and when he raised his eyes again, there was not much expression on his face.
After thinking for a moment, he took a step to the side, letting Lin Ying behind him out, and said in a calm voice, "Apologize to Miss Xie."
Lin Ying couldn't believe it: "What did you say?"
Su Jinhe's face became even darker. For the first time, he realized that his wife, whom he thought was smart and capable, was indeed a little ignorant of the situation.
Putting aside other things, today is the birthday party of the old man of the Sheng family. Although the Xie family is not a big family, since Xie Xihe can sit next to the old man Sheng and is accompanied by the eldest daughter of the Zhong family, it is enough to show her importance.
If I cause trouble for her at this time, wouldn't that be a sign of not knowing when to advance or retreat?
More and more eyes fell on him, and Su Jinhe felt uncomfortable all over. He shouted again: "Apologize!"
This commanding tone, this indiscriminate scolding.
Lin Ying was filled with anger and wanted to ask loudly, "Why should I apologize?", but the patience she had developed from her long time in the business world made her hold back her words.
She stared at Xie Xihe intently, and finally, under the teasing gazes of the two pairs of people, she slowly uttered two words: "Sorry."
Lin Ying felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her life. She could no longer bear it, so she shook off Su Jinhe's hand and ran out.
Su Jinhe frowned and didn't want to pay attention, but with so many people watching, he couldn't remain completely indifferent. He could only say hello to Xie Xihe and Zhong Yuxiu before chasing after him.
This little incident didn't have any impact on Xie Xihe, and he didn't even bat an eyelid.
Sheng Shijing's gaze lingered on her still rosy face, and he noticed the gazes that were either subtle or blatant falling on her, and his eyes darkened.
After thinking about it, he simply waved to call a waiter and whispered a few instructions.
The waiter nodded in agreement, quickly walked to Xie Xihe's side, leaned down and said something.
Xie Xihe raised his hand and pressed his temple. After thinking for a while, he finally stood up by holding the handle of the chair, and nodded his snow-white chin lightly: "Okay, lead the way."
By the way, he turned to Zhong Yuxiu and said, "I'm going to rest for a while, do you want to come?"
Zhong Yuxiu wanted to say that she was going too, but before she could open her mouth, she caught a glimpse of Sheng Shijing's back as he strode away.
After a pause, she chuckled and shook her head: "I won't go, you go."
Xie Xihe didn't force it. He nodded and followed the waiter towards a small door.
The Sheng family's banquet courtyard is very large. After leaving the main banquet hall, you need to walk across a small bridge over the landscape lake and then cross a rockery to reach the side door of the courtyard.
There were so many guests coming today that there were many people standing in groups of three or four in the main banquet hall and even in the open courtyard.
They were all people from small families who had status, but not too high, and did not dare to squeeze into the main banquet hall.
Sheng Shijing walked a little further away and waited for Xie Xihe in a small plum forest at the side door exit.
But three full minutes passed and no one showed up, not even the waiter who had been there before.
Sheng Shijing's heart trembled, and he instantly realized that something was wrong.
He immediately called Qingyang and asked him to stay here, while he turned back to the banquet hall and left again half a minute later.
Let’s go back a few minutes.
Xie Xihe followed the waiter out of the small door of the main banquet hall and continued walking forward.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped.
Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, staring intently at the figure in front of her, and she slowly spoke, "Who are you?"
The waiter paused in his forward steps, and in just a second, he turned around and faced Xie Xihe.
It was a rather ordinary face, with no discernible expression, but Xie Xihe seemed to see a playful smile on his face and said, "You're drunk, but you react quite quickly."
Xie Xihe glanced around casually, and finally leaned against a tree two steps away from him, still looking relaxed and casual as always. He said, "I'm drunk, but I'm not stupid. You brought me here, how can I not react?"
The other party chuckled and said, "As expected of a woman that was favored by that person, it seems that your brain is proportional to your appearance."
"But..." The other person curled his lips again, but the next moment it was replaced by a cold and stern tone. He said in a stern voice, "No matter how beautiful your face or how useful your brain is, you will be defeated here today!"
Before he finished speaking, the other party suddenly opened his hand, and several vines as thick as fingers shot out from his palm. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in front of Xie Xihe, and the spikes on them seemed to flash a cold light under the moonlight.
At the same time, the grass under Xie Xihe's feet suddenly grew wildly and wrapped around her legs at an extremely fast speed.
Wood-type mutant!
Xie Xihe's heart moved slightly, and the golden flame in her body surged almost uncontrollably, but was suppressed by her in the next moment.
Ancient martial power surged, and powerful energy burst out of the body, shattering the approaching vines and plants with overwhelming force.
A ray of light flashed by, and the next moment, Xie Xihe's figure disappeared from the spot.
Something cold landed on his neck, and the waiter's pupils shrank: "Ancient...ancient warrior!"
"You are a ancient warrior!"
