At the same time, in a secret place of the Xiao family!
"Puff!" The one who vomited blood was Xiao Feng, the eldest master of the Xiao family, who was also the current head of this huge and ancient family.
"grandfather!"
The girl had a pretty face, and was wearing a beige waisted dress. Her long black hair was draped on both sides of her back. She was indeed a very beautiful girl. However, if you ignored the gloomy aura in her eyes!
The girl is the protagonist of tomorrow's banquet - Miss Xiao Jingyuan!
Xiao Jingyuan is a prominent figure among the younger generation of the three major families, not only because of her outstanding appearance, but also because of her extraordinary abilities. She is decisive and never drags her feet. If she wants to accomplish something, she will do whatever it takes to get it.
The most important thing is that Xiao Jingyuan is obsessed with Liang Ci, but Liang Ci has always been the one she can't get.
"It seems that the prophetic evil spirit has disappeared!" Xiao Feng coughed twice. This time, controlling the prophetic evil spirit really wasted a lot of his blood and energy. It seems that he needs to rest for a long time this time!
Xiao Jingyuan's eyes were cold. "I told you long ago that those evil spirits are nothing but a bunch of trash. You're the only one who believes the nonsense they spout!"
"Oh! Forget it, I, an old man, will not be responsible for what happens in the future. Just go ahead and do it!" Xiao Feng waved his hand, and he felt that he suddenly looked much older!
"Grandpa, tomorrow is my granddaughter's birthday. I hope you can help her then!"
When Xiao Jingyuan thought of Liang Ci, that handsome man, her heart began to boil! If she could have a romantic relationship with that kind of man, then her own strength would surely grow to an astonishing level!
Xiao Feng paused, "You still haven't given up on Liang Ci?"
Xiao Jingyuan looked at Xiao Feng, her eyes full of crazy plundering intent: "Why should I give up on him? A man like that is only worthy of me!" In the entire imperial capital, who else can compare with her, Xiao Jingyuan?
Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly. He could tell that Liang Ci was definitely not a simple person, and he wasn't someone who could be easily controlled. However, if Yuan'er could really tie the knot with Liang Ci, it would definitely be a great help to the Xiao family's rise!
"Tomorrow, I will introduce you, but whether it will work out depends on your own luck!"
A smile flashed across Xiao Jingyuan's face: "Thank you, Grandpa! You should take good care of your injuries now! Your granddaughter won't bother you here any longer!" In fact, if it weren't for Liang Ci, Xiao Jingyuan would not have come to this old man for no reason. It was such a waste of her expression!
——
Liang Jin successfully sent Mu Huan to Liang Ci, and then went back by himself. Anyway, the distance was not very far!
"Master, are you going to the Xiao family tomorrow?"
Liang Ci paused in pouring water, then continued to pour a glass of water to quench Mu Huan's thirst. He only started talking after seeing Mu Huan take a sip.
"If you want to go, you can go."
The thought of that perverted woman from the Xiao family made him feel a little sick and he didn't want to go. However, if Huan'er wanted to join in the fun or do something, then she could go.
Mu Huan was puzzled. "Didn't you say you were going? Ah Jin told me you might bring a female companion, so I thought I'd go and see." Otherwise, who would want to go in openly? Going in openly wouldn't bring any benefits.
Liang Ci: “…” Liang Jin is such a big mouth.
Liang Ci reached out and touched Mu Huan's head, then lowered his head and kissed the corner of Mu Huan's mouth: "Then my little girl, please accompany me there tomorrow."
Mu Huan hurriedly took a few steps back: "Master, what are you doing? I am still a minor, it is not good for you to do this." He puffed out his cheeks and righteously taught Liang Ci a lesson!
Liang Ci: "..." I almost forgot about this. It’s just that I really can’t do other things now, but kissing is always possible.
Having successfully touched the lion's sore spot, Mu Huan said he was very happy.
"Master, I'm going to take a shower first. I'm so sticky!" Then, Mu Huan jumped into the bathroom with clothes in his hand.
Liang Ci shook his head helplessly. He had really miscalculated the matter of the minor. If he had known earlier, he should have found a better time to come, and wouldn't have ended up in such an awkward situation.
However, it feels good to cultivate it!
Liang Ci took the cup of water that Mu Huan had just drunk from and took a sip. Tsk! So sweet!
After Mu Huan finished taking a shower, he went straight back to his bedroom! He thought about some problems he might have to deal with tomorrow, and then fell into a sweet dream.
The next day arrived as planned, and the Xiao family manor was busy from the early morning. They were busy setting up the scene, preparing food, and other things that would be used for the eldest lady's birthday.
Xiao Jingyuan's birthday party was no different from any other young master's or young lady's. This was because the Xiao family's leader doted on his granddaughter, so he took everything very seriously. Especially when it came to matters of the young lady, she had been pampered and had never had to deal with anything since she was little, which gave her a cold and strange temper.
Xiao Jingyuan likes everything that is relatively refined and clean. There cannot be anything that is inconsistent with refinement and cleanliness at your banquet today.
"Miss, you are definitely the most beautiful girl on the field today."
The maid was putting makeup and combing Xiao Jingyuan's hair, and she didn't forget to brag and praise her.
Xiao Jingyuan's smiling eyes turned cold, and then the maid next to her fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth. By the time she called for help, she was already dead.
"How can those ordinary people who have no sense compare with the young lady?" The new maid was smart and made Xiao Jingyuan very satisfied.
In fact, things like that were not uncommon in this manor. Because the Xiao family was an ancient family, they were not ordinary, so the people they recruited were naturally extraordinary. And mainly because the Xiao family offered a high salary, so everyone was eager to come to work in this manor!
"Have all the invitations been sent out?"
"Yes, Miss, we also sent someone to deliver the unique invitation you gave to Young Master Liang Ci to your door!" Although Xiao Jingyuan usually looks arrogant and condescending about everything, she really used up all her patience and humility towards Liang Ci.
"That's good!" Xiao Jingyuan nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, she must take down Liang Ci today, even if it means using coercion, inducement or some dishonorable means. In short, Liang Ci is someone that she, Xiao Jingyuan, has decided to take down!
——
"A-choo!"
Mu Huan sneezed several times in a row, causing Liang Ci to pause in his efforts to dress her!
"But you caught a cold last night?"
"That's not the case! I just suddenly had a very strange feeling, as if someone had set their eyes on an item of mine, and that item was something I really liked."
Liang Ci: "..." Alas! My little disciple is so carefree!
