Chapter 58 "Warm" famous scene
As soon as the gift giver left, members of the Du family gathered around and started praising Du Anrao in the name of the jewelry.
"These two sets of jewelry are so beautiful. Our An An has grown up and can make money on his own."
"Yes, yes, not only did he earn a set for himself, but he also helped his sister earn a set as well. That's amazing."
"I think these two sets of jewelry seem to be better looking than the one He Xuan gave to An An before."
"Needless to say? Even though they are the same brand, the gift the boss gives to his savior must be the most precious one. If it is shabby compared to what the person bought himself, then it is not a friendship but an enmity."
Du Yuxi held the jewelry in her hand and suddenly remembered that she was in a hurry to move out when Du Anrao came back and forgot to prepare a gift for her. Now she asked her to give her a gift first. She was such a dereliction of duty as a sister!
Du Hexuan's mood was also complicated. He felt relieved but also a little sad.
After the two came back last night, Du Yuxi told them what happened in the mall.
When they learned that the person Duanrao was helping was the big boss of the well-known jewelry brand he endorsed, everyone couldn't help but tease him. With the relationship with their An An, he could probably continue to be the endorsement brand until retirement as long as he was willing.
Who could understand? He had intended to be a support for his sister, but in the end, he was led away by her. He was a very incompetent brother, sob…
On the night of the banquet at the Li family, as soon as Du Anrao and the other man left, Du's father and mother followed with an invitation that Du Hexuan had gotten from somewhere.
As for Du Hexuan, since he didn't have an invitation, he could only disguise himself as a waiter to sneak in.
Du Hexuan: “…” The world where only I am hurt has been achieved!
Although they only invited some relatives and friends to the gathering, when they arrived at the scene, they found that the scale of the Li family's banquet was really large.
Faced with the guests who were basically acquaintances of each other, the two young people who had just arrived felt somewhat awkward.
Then, the two met an acquaintance.
"Why are you here? Don't you need to stay with your brother in the hospital?"
This acquaintance was Ye Mengzhen, whom the two had met not long ago.
She was wearing a bright red knee-length skirt today and had beautiful makeup on, which contrasted beautifully with the lace that meandered down from her neckline, making her look even more like a rose bud about to bloom.
"He only had superficial injuries. He stayed in the hospital for two days to soothe his bruised self-esteem, and then he was discharged and went home. Now he just lies at home like Ge You every day, and my mother is taking care of him, so why does he need me?"
After Ye Mengzhen finished speaking, he looked the two of them up and down, with a look of disdain on his face: "Why are you two dressed like this..."
You can't say it's ugly. After all, her looks are there, so it can't be that ugly.
Ye Mengzhen frowned and thought for a long time before finally finding a more suitable adjective: "Bland?"
"We are just here to see the world, so we shouldn't dress too conspicuously and steal the limelight from the host of the banquet."
Ye Mengzhen snorted coldly: "Even if she stole her limelight, so what? If she is not as skilled as others, she should know her own limitations. She is not that good-looking to begin with, and she flirts with this and that every day. If you don't know her, you would think she is some kind of evil witch who is bringing disaster to the country!"
The Duanrao sisters looked at each other helplessly.
She said that Li Qianxi and her brother had such a bad quarrel, why would they come to the banquet hosted by the Li family? It seemed that this was her plan.
Li Zhaoyang attached great importance to the arrival of the two and arranged people to wait outside early.
Therefore, Du Anrao and the other two did not stay outside for too long, and were personally led to the second floor by Li Zhaoyang.
There were not many people entering the inner venue at this time. Li Zhaoyang took the two of them upstairs and deliberately avoided the crowd. Only a few people noticed them.
Xie Jingyao and his mother are among them.
"The one who just went up was Zhaoyang, right? Who are the two girls he led? Yuesheng's friends?"
Mrs. Xie only saw two girls following Li Zhaoyang from a distance, but did not see their faces.
Xie Jingyao recognized at a glance that the two sisters following Li Zhaoyang were the ones he met a few days ago, and his heart moved slightly: "They might also be Zhaoyang's friends."
Mrs. Xie misunderstood what he said.
"At Zhaoyang's age, it's time for him to find a friend. By the way, where's Qianxi? Why don't I see her? I brought her a gift, you can give it to her in person later."
When Xie Jingyao suddenly heard Mrs. Xie mention this name, his expression changed slightly.
Thinking of the information I got not long ago about Li Qianxi having affairs with different men, my head started to ache.
"She should be with Aunt Yan and the others right now. If you want to give her a gift, go and give it yourself. If you ask me to give it every time, people will misunderstand."
Mrs. Xie was unhappy when she heard what he said.
"What's there to misunderstand? You already have an engagement, so it's reasonable and natural for you to give her something. Are you afraid of misunderstanding?"
Xie Jingyao had an even bigger headache: "That happened many years ago. How old is she now? It's too early to talk about this. And a marriage that is forced won't be happy. You have good intentions, but don't let your good intentions lead to bad results."
"Hey, kid, how can you talk like that? What do you mean by good intentions but ends up with bad results? I think Qianxi likes you very much. She even asked me before if she could come to our house to see you. It's obvious that she's interested in you. You also had a good impression of her before, so why are you so cold all of a sudden? Could it be that..."
Mrs. Xie stared at her son for a long time with a scrutinizing look: "Are you in love with someone else?"
Xie Jingyao stretched out his hand and rubbed his temple: "No, Mom, don't let your imagination run wild. I don't have anyone I like."
"Then why did you suddenly change your attitude towards Qianxi? She likes you so much..."
Xie Jingyao's mouth twitched slightly, thinking, how can she like me? She likes my money. And she doesn't just like my money, she likes several men at the same time, and she likes their money even more.
Thinking of the man who suddenly ran out and accused him when he was comforting Li Qianxi that day, he felt that their conversation was a little strange at the time, but his trust in Li Qianxi made him ignore the strangeness and naturally regarded that man as Li Qianxi's extreme pursuer.
Now it seems that the man is probably one of the many victims.
Mrs. Xie glanced at her son suspiciously, but did not pursue the matter any further. Just as she looked up to the second floor, she saw a familiar figure.
"That's Qianxi, right? Come on, let's go up and find her first." Mrs. Xie said, pulling her son and rushing forward.
"Hey, Mom, slow down..."
So, when Li Zhaoyang brought Du Anrao upstairs, he unexpectedly found that his parents were not on the second floor. He had to take them out of the study and make other arrangements for them. What he saw was the famous "heartwarming" scene of Xie Jingyao being forced by Mrs. Xie to hand a gift to Li Qianxi.
Duan Rao: “Oh huh.”
Du Yuxi: “…”
Li Zhaoyang: “!!!”
