Chapter 945 Falling in Love with a Married Man
Xia Sisi was stunned when she heard Li Nianqi's question.
She didn't react for a moment.
Li Nianqi, however, assumed she didn't even know Qiao Xi, so she said, "That's Madam Huo, the disciple of the Imperial Doctor, Qiao Xi. She made a big splash at the needle trial conference. I don't believe you didn't pay any attention to her."
Xia Sisi pursed her lips and said, "I have indeed read some reports about her."
"So who do you think is more beautiful between the two of us?"
This is Li Nianqi's obsession in his heart.
She used to have a delicate appearance, and felt somewhat inferior in front of Qiao Xi. She still thought Huo Xingzhou liked Qiao Xi, most likely because of her foxy face. The needlework technique was secondary.
Which man likes a woman to show up in public and give acupuncture to all kinds of men?
Nor do they avoid suspicion.
How could a man like Huo Xingzhou tolerate this!
Seeing that she hadn't answered, Li Nianqi said impatiently, "Is it that difficult to answer? Or do you think Qiao Xi is more beautiful in your heart?"
"No, Miss Li. I was just wondering how you compare to Qiao Ximei, and now I finally understand. Your temperament is more special, and you look more like a wealthy lady than her. Your fashion sense is also outstanding."
Xia Sisi said something against her will.
But in his heart he had already cursed Li Nianqi to death.
This plastic surgery freak dares to compare herself with Miss Qiao. She must be sleep deprived. Others may not be able to see it, but as someone in the entertainment industry, how could she not see the high-tech on Li Nianqi's face?
She even deliberately made herself look a bit like Miss Qiao. Who was she trying to disgust?
But this little bit is also her blessing.
A rich young lady, so arrogant and lacking any temperament. Her fashion sense is probably also off the mark. The dress and makeup she's wearing must have been put together by a professional.
Just say a few words to coax her, she really thinks she is a dish.
Xia Sisi kept complaining in her heart.
Li Nianqi didn't see Xia Sisi's other thoughts, but said arrogantly: "You are sensible!"
"I'm telling the truth."
"You can't go anywhere else on the second floor, understand? If my father sees you, you'll be asked to leave."
"Yes, Ms. Li. I was ignorant before. I will be more careful."
This also made Xia Sisi more certain that they were in the study inside. But she couldn't take too many risks and had to find an opportunity to pry open Zhao Qin's mouth.
Sudden.
A maid came forward and whispered to Li Nianqi, "Miss, the Huo family is here."
"Finally, let's go."
Li Nianqi's eyes lit up.
After she went abroad, she never met anyone as outstanding as Huo Xingzhou again.
It has become her heart knot that she has been longing for!
It became an even crazier idea!
She returned to the imperial capital again and knew that the Pei family was going to cooperate with her father. She wondered if the Huo family was also trampled underfoot, would Huo Xingzhou bow to her for the sake of his career?
I definitely will.
How could a man with such great ambitions give up such an opportunity!
Li Nianqi walked down the stairs, her skirt lifted, her steps hurried, but she suppressed her temper and the joy that threatened to overflow on her face as she walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall. The Li family's old house had a special place reserved for banquet halls, and it was already packed with people.
But I heard that Mr. Huo was coming.
Many people also looked towards the door.
When Li Cheng is not around, Li Nianqi is the master.
When she reached the entrance, she saw the man in a well-tailored suit slowly approaching. His face was as handsome as in a dream. His stern face and those black eyes, gleaming with coldness, made her feel like she couldn't be more perfect.
But the warmth he occasionally showed as he carefully supported the woman beside him was really an eyesore!
There was a brief flash of malice in Li Nianqi's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
"Mr. Huo, Sister Qiao."
Li Nianqi's expression was natural, and there was a hint of intimacy in her tone.
As if none of those dirty things had ever happened between them.
"You are finally here. I was just asking." Li Nianqi wanted to step forward and hold Qiao Xi's hand, but saw Qiao Xi take a step back.
Qiao Xi looked at Li Nianqi and said, "We shouldn't be that familiar with each other."
"Sister Qiao, are you still blaming me for being young and ignorant? It was all my fault before, but I've changed now. The elders of our two families are also very good friends. Sister Qiao's distance makes the elders unsure how to get along. Please be magnanimous and give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
Li Nianqi pretended to be weak in front of Qiao Xi.
But how could Qiao Xi let her guard down?
The Li family and the Pei family are in collusion.
She had already noticed Li Nianqi's disguise behind her good intentions, especially since this person's acting skills were not good enough and his eyes kept looking at Huo Xingzhou.
It's obvious that he's determined not to change.
She still has feelings for Huo Xingzhou.
"The elders have their own way of getting along with each other, and we don't have much of a relationship. I can't handle you calling me Sister Qiao all the time. Why don't you just call me Qiao Xi or Madam Huo Shao?"
She wouldn't give Li Nianqi any face.
Li Nianqi's expression froze for a moment before she said, "I thought you were a very gentle and generous person, but I didn't expect... Never mind, I was just being sentimental. The Huo family is no longer within my reach, and Sister Qiao is no longer the person who needed God to seek our family's protection."
She was accusing Qiao Xi of being ungrateful.
He had wanted to ask the Li family for help before, but now that he has established himself in the imperial capital, he no longer cares about the old relationship.
Li Nianqi said this in front of many people.
Qiao Xi smiled and was about to speak.
Sun Weimeng couldn't help but say, "Miss Li, since you say so, let's settle the score in front of everyone. We are not afraid of losing face anyway. You say it so aggrievedly that others will think you have suffered a great injustice. Our Huo family is not as arrogant as you say..."
"I...why are you talking so harshly? This is a matter between me and Sister Qiao. It has nothing to do with you, a man."
"Hey, are you feeling guilty?"
Sun Weimeng sneered, "This matter needs to be clarified! Everyone, the Liu family originally planned to trade a jewelry store in exchange for the Li family taking care of Qiao Xi. Our Qiao Xi didn't want anyone to protect her, but just needed to visit the elders out of courtesy. This matter will be clarified as long as we call in Madam Li for a confrontation."
Li Nianqi defended herself, "My grandmother is old and very concerned about her reputation. You are guests, she will definitely not offend you."
Sun Weimeng thought she was just being stubborn.
It seems like he has forgotten how many stupid and shameful things he has done.
Sun Weimeng raised his voice and asked, "Then let me ask why Miss Li was sent abroad? Why are you so silent? Don't you also know that falling in love with a married man is shameful?"
Falling in love with a married man?
