Chapter 17: Full of Bad Intentions
Xi Jingyue, who also knew the whole story, almost lost his temper. After a while, he looked at everyone for confirmation: "Is that so?"
Except for Du Hexuan, who identified with his sister without any bottom line, no one else dared to say anything. They either looked at the sky or the ground, but not at Xi Jingyue.
Jiang Huaiying wanted to refute, but her wrist was still in someone's hand, so she could only grit her teeth and take the blame: "...Yes, she is right."
Xi Jingyue sighed, as if he really believed this outrageous statement: "Boss Jiang, it is really impolite for you to do this."
Jiang Huaiying also knew that he had to swallow this loss today, and said coldly: "It's my fault today. I didn't discipline my subordinates strictly and caused such a mess. I will punish myself with three cups of wine and apologize to President Xi. I will pay for this table tonight, and I will ask the boss to serve you a new table later."
Du Hexuan sneered and thought to himself, you want to treat me but I feel sick after eating.
Zhou Shunzhe and Director Gao simply didn't dare to say anything. Such a fight between gods was not something that little kids like them could get involved in.
Xi Jingyue understood clearly what Jiang Huaiying meant. She was bowing to him today, not to the people in the room.
He glanced at Duanrao inconspicuously, but saw that she looked absent-minded and obviously not interested in the outcome of their negotiations.
Somehow, I felt biased and said with a smile, "I don't mind. It's just that I was invited to this dinner today by Mr. Du because of my face. Mr. Jiang's move is a bit disappointing."
These words undoubtedly told Jiang Huaiying blatantly that the people she should apologize to were not herself, but the guests in this room.
Not only Jiang Huaiying, but even Zhou Shunzhe and others looked over in surprise, finding it hard to believe that Xi Jingyue would offend Jiang Huaiying, a big shot in the circle, for them.
Jiang Huaiying didn't expect Xi Jingyue to be so disrespectful to her. After being surprised, her expression became even uglier.
It would be fine if he just apologized, but Xi Jingyue's attitude clearly showed that he was trying to protect the Du brothers and sisters. If he went to cause trouble for them again because of what happened today, there was no guarantee that he would not offend Xi Jingyue.
Although the Xi family has no foundation in the entertainment industry, as a top wealthy family like them, the network of contacts is intricate and if you offend them, you can never be sure what will happen.
After all, the situation was stronger than the people. He couldn't win the fight, and people didn't dare to offend him easily. Jiang Huaiying could only swallow his bitterness.
"Mr. Xi is right. I am really sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment of dinner tonight. This glass of wine is my apology to you all."
Jiang Huaiying said this almost with gritted teeth, picked up the only glass of white wine on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that things had come to a conclusion, Duanrao quietly withdrew his hand.
Jiang Huaiying shook his numb right hand, swept a cold gaze over everyone in the room, and finally vented his anger on the bodyguards who stood up staggeringly.
"Why don't you leave? It's embarrassing."
Watching the queen of capital in the circle leave angrily surrounded by bodyguards, Duanrao looked at Xi Jingyue with his eyes slightly shining.
[Okay, Mr. Xi, I admit that I spoke to you a little too loudly before! With just a few words, we actually forced that old witch to bow her head and apologize to us. It's so cool! ]
Du Hexuan was originally secretly happy about Jiang Huaiying's humiliation, but when he heard this, his alarm bells immediately rang. He looked at Xi Jingyue as if he was looking at a pig that might eat his cabbages at any time, his eyes were sharp.
Xi Jingyue naturally also noticed Du Hexuan's hostility towards him. His eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Du Hexuan didn't know that his bitter and vengeful appearance had aroused someone's suspicion. He was about to sharpen his knife to attack the wild boar when he heard Du Anrao add a sentence with great interest.
[Just because of what happened tonight, we will be half-brothers from now on! ]
Du Hexuan: “?” Don’t breathe so heavily when speaking.
Xi Jingyue: “…” Okay, but it’s not necessary.
"I was also at fault for what happened today. I shouldn't have rashly agreed to someone else's request to share a table. I gave everyone a bad experience. I'm really sorry."
Director Gao finally found an opportunity to interrupt and quickly said, "Mr. Xi, you are too polite. This was purely an accident and it is not your fault."
"Then I'll have someone prepare another table..."
Before Xi Jingyue finished speaking, Du Hexuan stopped him: "No, it's already very late, and I have a scene to shoot tomorrow. I want to take my sister back to rest first."
Although others did not dare to speak as bluntly as he did, they also expressed their opinions.
“We were actually full just now.”
"Yes, yes, yes. We have almost finished eating. It would be a waste to order another table. There is no need to make it so troublesome."
It’s no wonder that Zhou Shunzhe and the others looked bitter. They were really worried about suffering from indigestion if they continued to eat like this.
Xi Jingyue also knew that after what happened tonight, everyone might have lost their appetite, so he stopped forcing them.
"Then please allow me to take you back." Xi Jingyue glanced at Du Anrao and added before Du Hexuan could refuse, "Consider it my apology for what happened tonight."
Du Hexuan choked and said nothing with a sullen face.
There were too many people, so Xi Jingyue called another car over temporarily.
Zhou Shunzhe and Director Gao, who had been living in fear all night, immediately jumped into the car they had just called and locked the door, saying that they were not going the same way as Du Anrao and the other two, and asked Xi Jingyue to personally take them back.
Du Hexuan expressed strong condemnation and contempt for the two men's desertion behavior. After pushing his sister into the car, he hurriedly followed and sat motionless between the two of them to prevent anyone around him from having any physical contact with his sister.
Du Anrao didn't notice his painstaking efforts at all, and secretly glanced at Xi Jingyue over Du Hexuan.
[Boss Xi is such a nice guy, he even personally sent us back. He is handsome, rich, and not arrogant. Could he be the legendary...diamond bachelor?]
Xi Jingyue was shocked by this description: "..."
Du Hexuan was conflicted, Du Hexuan was silent, Du Hexuan was so angry that smoke was about to come out of his head!
"How do President Xi and President Jiang know each other? You two seemed very familiar with each other just now."
When Du Hexuan said this, he winked at his sister as if his eyes were twitching, as if he was saying, "My dear sister, did you hear me?" This Mr. Xi, who you have a good impression of, is familiar with that crazy woman, Mr. Jiang.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Mr. Jiang is a weirdo, so can Mr. Xi be a good guy?
Unfortunately, Du Anrao's attention was not on him, and Actor Du cast all his seductive eyes at the blind man.
Xi Jingyue noticed Du Hexuan's little thoughts and immediately felt that the two siblings were really interesting.
A person who appears to be innocent but is actually full of evil intentions and tells lies without any hesitation.
One has excellent acting skills, but once something happens to his sister, everything is written on his face.
Just like now, I wish I could kick him out of the car!
