Xu Jing wore that shameless smile, completely unconcerned about Zhang Miaomiao's sarcastic remarks.
"Miaomiao, what you said really hurt my feelings!"
We've been neighbors for so many years, and knowing it's your birthday today, I specially came all this way to give you a gift. You can't be so heartless!
After saying that, he opened the gift box he had brought, and a dazzling ruby necklace appeared before everyone's eyes.
The moment the gift box was opened, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.
"Young Master Xu is so generous! This gemstone necklace probably wouldn't be available for less than two thousand yuan!"
"Exactly! It's obvious that Young Master Xu put a lot of thought into this. This ruby necklace is a perfect match for Miao Miao's dress today!"
Xu Jing then took out the necklace and pretended to put it on Zhang Miaomiao.
Zhang Miaomiao took a step back warily, her eyes filled with disgust. "I don't want your gift. You and your people, get out of here right now! Otherwise, I'll really call security to kick you out!"
At this moment, one of Xu Jing's brothers suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world.
"Miaomiao, you don't know yet, do you? This Red Sun Restaurant is owned by the Xu family! If you let the security guards kick out the owner, wouldn't that be making a fool of yourself!"
"Yes, Miaomiao, our Young Master Xu truly likes you. He even bought you a necklace worth two thousand yuan. Isn't that enough to prove his sincerity? Just say yes!"
"Take your sincerity and feed it to the dogs, I don't care! Whoever wants it can have it!" Zhang Miaomiao said coldly, her tone full of determination.
Xu Jing's interest grew even stronger as he looked at Zhang Miaomiao's stubborn and uncompromising demeanor.
In his eyes, Zhang Miaomiao's temper was like that of a little wildcat; her angry expression was like scratching at his heart with her claws, making him itch with desire.
This isn't anger, it's clearly provoking him!
"Miaomiao, just say yes to Young Master Xu! He's showing such sincerity; he's much more sophisticated than those who only give pens!" a woman in the crowd said sarcastically.
Su Xiuju had given her a fountain pen. Upon hearing this, she gripped the spoon tightly and could no longer hold back.
"You mean you look down on fountain pens?"
So you look down on articles written with a fountain pen too?
What nice gift did you give me this time?
Show it to everyone and let them see just how high-end it really is!
This woman thought Su Xiuju was easy to bully, and had provoked her time and time again without getting a response. She never expected Su Xiuju to explode this time.
"How dare you talk like that? I didn't mean it that way!"
The woman's face turned deathly pale instantly, humiliated by Su Xiuju's words.
"What do you mean?"
Su Xiuju sneered, stepped forward, and grabbed the woman's collar. "What I mean is, if you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"
Who do you think you are, to make decisions for Miaomiao and make her agree to other people's requests?
Who do you think you are, that everyone has to listen to whatever you say?
Since you think Young Master Xu is so wonderful and the gifts are so high-class, why don't you just go and say yes to him yourself!
As soon as Su Xiuju finished speaking, she threw the woman at Xu Jing's feet.
Zhang Miaomiao also stood next to Su Xiuju, coldly looking at the woman.
"Who brought you in? I don't know you at all, and I didn't receive any gifts from you. Are you here to freeload?" These words caused an uproar.
"Cousin Miaomiao, this is a friend I brought with me. I didn't expect her to be this kind of person. I'll make her get lost right now!"
A woman who claimed to be Zhang Miaomiao's cousin stepped forward, her face full of embarrassment.
Zhang Miaomiao frowned, looking at her distant cousin, and snorted coldly, "You can get out of here with her! I don't want to see you, I don't even know you!"
The woman kneeling at Xu Jing's feet suddenly grabbed his trouser leg and pleaded, "Young Master Xu, look at them! They've gone too far! They don't respect you at all! I'm only trying to speak up for you!"
"Why are you being so nosy?"
Xu Jing kicked the person away, still smiling, and looked at Zhang Miaomiao.
“I don’t know her either, Miaomiao. You know me, I don’t have any other female friends. I don’t even know her name.”
Zhang Miaomiao snorted coldly, found the so-called cousin's gift, and threw it in front of them.
"Get out of here, and take your gift with you!"
The gift box opened, and an ordinary silver bracelet fell out, clearly not worth much.
My cousin from afar sheepishly picked up what was on the ground, her face ashen, and dragged the woman away from the banquet hall.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Zhang Miaomiao looked at Xu Jing with a displeased expression.
Ever since that incident, she had become wary of Xu Jing, always feeling that his gaze was full of ill intent and had a strong purpose. Being in the same space with him made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Zhang Zhenhui had originally encouraged her to interact more with the Xu family, but now she doesn't want to have any contact with Xu Jing at all. She even confessed to Zhang Zhenhui that if they had to arrange a marriage, she absolutely did not want to marry Xu Jing.
Zhang Miaomiao knew in her heart that she might not be able to make complete decisions about her marriage.
But she absolutely did not want to be with this disgusting person.
Xu Jing frowned and looked at Su Xiuju next to Zhang Miaomiao, recognizing her immediately.
Isn't this the old woman's daughter?
He finally found it!
He hadn't had time to bother them lately, but she still dared to come to him on her own; she was practically courting death!
