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 thought she didn't know Qiao Xi at all, so she said, "It's that Mrs. Huo, the national doctor's apprentice Qiao Xi. She made a big splash at the needle trial conference before, I don't believe you didn't pay any attention to it."
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 deepest obsession.
She used to have a delicate appearance, and she felt inferior in front of Qiao Xi. She still thought that Huo Xingzhou liked Qiao Xi, probably because of her seductive face. The needle 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 possibly endure 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 figured it out. Your temperament is more special, and you look more like a rich lady than she does. Your fashion sense is also outstanding."
Xia Sisi said something unpleasant.
But in his heart, he had already cursed Li Nianqi half to death.
This plastic surgery freak dares to compare herself with Miss Qiao, maybe she is still sleepy. Others may not be able to see it, but as someone who works 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 offend?
But this one or two points is also her blessing.
A rich lady, so arrogant, without any grace at all. Her taste in clothes is probably not good either, the dress and makeup she is wearing must have been matched 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 good at understanding!"
"I'm telling the truth."
"You can't go anywhere else on the second floor. Do you understand? If my father sees you, you will 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 room inside. But she couldn't be too adventurous and had to find a chance to pry open Zhao Qin's mouth.
Sudden.
A maid came forward and whispered to Li Nianqi, "Miss, the Huo family is here."
"Finally here, 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 Huo Xingzhou would bow to her for the sake of his career if the Huo family was also trampled underfoot?
I'm sure.
That kind of ambitious man, how could he give up such an opportunity!
Li Nianqi walked downstairs slowly, holding up her skirt. Her steps were a little hurried, but she suppressed her temper and the joy on her face that was about to overflow, and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall. The old house of the Li family had a special place reserved for banquet halls, and it was already full of 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 host.
When she reached the entrance, she saw the man in a smart suit walking towards her slowly. His face was as handsome as in a dream. His stern face and his eyes as dark as ink were filled with coldness. There was no man more perfect than him.
But the occasional tenderness he showed as he carefully supported the woman beside him was really an eyesore!
There was a brief glimmer of malice in Li Nianqi's eyes, but it quickly subsided.
"Mr. Huo, Sister Qiao."
Li Nianqi's expression was natural and there was a hint of intimacy in her tone.
It was 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 have 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 with each other. You are a generous person, so 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 that this person's acting skills were not good enough, and his eyes kept looking at Huo Xingzhou.
It is obvious that he is 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 friendship. I can't stand you calling me Sister Qiao all the time. Why don't you just call me Qiao Xi or Madam Huo Shao?"
She won't give Li Nianqi any face.
Li Nianqi's expression froze for a moment and 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 not something I can afford to marry into now, 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.
I wanted to ask the Li family for help before, but now that I have established myself in the imperial capital, I don’t care about the old friendship anymore.
Li Nianqi said this in front of many people.
Qiao Xi smiled and was about to speak.
Sun Weimeng couldn't help but say, "Ms. Li, since you say so, let's settle the account in front of everyone. We are not afraid of losing face anyway. You sound so aggrieved that others think you have been wronged. Our Huo family is not as arrogant as you say..."
"I... why are you talking so harshly? This is between me and Sister Qiao. It has nothing to do with you as a man."
"Hey, are you feeling guilty?"
Sun Weimeng sneered, "This matter needs to be clarified! Everyone, the Liu family originally planned to use a jewelry store to exchange for the Li family to take care of Qiao Xi. Our Qiao Xi did not want to find someone to protect her, but she had to pay a visit to the elders for the sake of courtesy. This matter will be clear as long as we call Madam Li to confront her."
Li Nianqi defended herself: "My grandmother is old and she values her reputation very much. You are guests, she will definitely not offend you."
Sun Weimeng thought she was being stubborn.
It seems that I have forgotten how many stupid and shameful things I have done.
Sun Wei asked loudly, "Then I want to ask why Miss Li was sent abroad? Why didn't you say anything? Don't you know that it is shameful to fall in love with a married man?"
Falling in love with a married man?
