Chapter 473 He is looking at her
Li Nianqi carefully checked her dress and took out a small mirror to examine her makeup.
Her makeup skills are still not good enough, and she needs to find a teacher to learn from her.
Mrs. Li turned to look at Li Nianqi and asked, "Nianqi, what are you doing?"
"nothing."
Li Nianqi hid the small makeup mirror in her palm and showed a well-behaved and decent smile on her face.
Mrs. Li warned, "This time, don't lose your manners in front of the guests."
"I know, grandma." She licked the lipstick on her lips and asked, "I heard that Mr. Huo from Haicheng will also come to visit our house, right?"
Li Nianqi's heartbeat became unstable.
Last night's first sight was a lifelong mistake.
He appeared with great force, like a god descending from heaven.
Li Nianqi tossed and turned in bed all night, with him on her mind.
How wonderful it would be if this man loved her. Her heart was completely fallen in love with him.
"He came here to bring something for the Liu family. It's embarrassing to say, but we promised the Liu family to take good care of Qiao Xi, and then something terrible almost happened last night."
Old Mrs. Li felt guilty towards the Liu family, but she was reluctant to return such a large jewelry branch to the Liu family.
Their Li family is on the decline and their descendants are incompetent.
I'm afraid this jewelry branch is still needed to support the store.
"That's not taking advantage!" Li Nianqi muttered. "We didn't expect her to directly provoke the Xiang and Lu families. Lu Yan is a little bully, who can stand up to him head-on? But she's so troublesome."
"If it weren't for Mr. Huo, Qiao Xi would have been killed by Lu Yan long ago."
Mrs. Li turned and looked at her. "Mr. Huo is no ordinary man. Today, the Xiang Group's stock price plummeted, and its market value evaporated by tens of billions. Xiang Hai was even hospitalized due to his anger. It was all his doing. You must not offend him later."
When Li Nianqi heard this, her heart burned with anger.
He did all this?
He is worthy of being the man she likes, he is really outstanding.
If she could marry Huo Xingzhou, wouldn't the Li family be able to return to its former glory soon? Those noble ladies would not dare to mock her for her plain appearance and mediocre family background.
Li Nianqi is full of wishful thinking.
"The car is coming."
Old Mrs. Li went to meet him.
The familiar Rolls-Royce was parked at the gate of the Li family's house. As Old Chen took the gifts from the trunk, he said, "This car is still easy to drive. That Bentley really doesn't feel good."
Qiao Xi took Huo Xingzhou's hand and smiled, then turned around and saw Old Lady Li coming out attentively.
"Grandma Li."
Qiao Xi greeted sweetly.
"Good girl." The old lady held her hand affectionately, her eyes falling on Huo Xingzhou, "This is your husband, right?"
"Yes, his name is Huo Xingzhou."
The old lady nodded and praised: "You are all good children. Come in and sit together."
The name Huo Xingzhou became famous overnight in the imperial capital.
The old lady knew it, and she said with a smile, "I asked the servants to prepare afternoon tea. I don't know what you like to eat."
Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou looked at each other, their eyes full of sweetness, and walked in hand in hand.
Li Nianqi stood in the hallway and stared at Huo Xingzhou for a long time before running into the villa in a loss of composure, holding her red face with both hands to cool it down.
"Please come in. Qiao Xi, come sit next to me."
"Grandma Li, you are so polite."
Qiao Xi followed the old lady's wishes and sat next to her, while Huo Xingzhou sat on a separate sofa next to her.
The man straightened his sleeves and said in a deep voice, "Old Chen, please put down all your things. Madam Li, these gifts are from the Liu family. I will pass them on to you."
"That's... too polite."
Old Mrs. Li was really embarrassed and felt guilty towards the Liu family.
So many gifts plus a jewelry branch.
Huo Xingzhou smiled faintly and took out a key and placed it on the coffee table. "This is the key to the safe of the Liu family's jewelry store in the imperial capital. With this key, I can get access to the historical accounts and some valuable information, and completely control the operation of the jewelry store."
Old Mrs. Li looked at the little golden key and felt uneasy.
Although she felt guilty, she could only accept it shamelessly.
"Thank you for coming all the way here." Old Mrs. Li stretched out her skinny hand and picked up the key.
Huo Xingzhou's eyebrows and eyes were indifferent.
now.
Li Nianqi gracefully walked into the living room carrying a tray and poured a cup of scented tea for Qiao Xi and the old lady. She then walked around to Huo Xingzhou and instinctively moved closer to him.
She bent down to pour tea for Huo Xingzhou, her long, shiny black hair falling down, emitting a faint scent of perfume.
She used perfume on her long hair, and the smell was pleasant and seductive.
Li Nianqi has a pretty face, but her black and shiny hair is something that many people cannot match.
She knows her strengths.
"Please have some tea." Li Nianqi put the tray on the coffee table, held the teacup in both hands and looked at Huo Xingzhou and said.
There was a hint of spring in those pretty eyes.
She used up almost all her tenderness in the past nineteen years to show her best side in front of Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou didn't take the tea from her hand and ignored her.
Li Nianqi asked again: "Mr. Huo, would you like some warm water or a drink? I'll get it for you."
"No need to bother."
Li Nianqi said softly, "You're a guest, how can you be considered a bother? We can't let others say that our Li family isn't hospitable enough, right? Let me go cut some fruit for you."
Li Nianqi ran to the kitchen with light steps, took out the freshest fruits, put them on a fruit plate and walked out.
Then he placed it in front of Huo Xingzhou.
"Mr. Huo, these are all organic fruits freshly delivered from the farm, without any harmful residues."
Li Nianqi tried very hard to restrain her feelings, but when she met Huo Xingzhou's narrow and indifferent eyes, she couldn't help but her heart beat faster.
He is looking at her!
Did he notice her too?
People like Huo Xingzhou shouldn't be judged solely on appearance.
In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Li Nianqi's mind.
She bit her lip and found a seat closest to Huo Xingzhou and sat down.
Li Nianqi's heart was pounding, and she pursed her lips tightly, not daring to reveal a single word.
But those eyes couldn't help but glance at Huo Xingzhou, carefully observing his appearance.
The facial features are three-dimensional and unique.
The suit wraps around his tight, young body, and his arms must be very strong. It must be a blessing to be hugged by him.
And a rolling Adam's apple.
Li Nianqi took a sip of tea blankly, looking at it in a daze.
Even smelling the faint cold wood fragrance in the air, I felt as if I was being wrapped in his whole body.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at her, his look extremely cold and filled with a hint of disgust.
Li Nianqi was startled and the scalding tea in her hand spilled onto the back of her hand.
The skin instantly turned red.
"ah!"
She cried out in pain and the teacup fell to the ground.
With a bang, fragments flew everywhere.
Qiao Xi and Old Lady Li turned to stare at Li Nianqi.
