Xia Xi was busy running around and finally arranged all the man's relatives. She held her waist and breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Jinru felt sorry for her daughter and wanted to ask her to come over and sit down and rest for a while, but her hand was suddenly pulled by a soft little hand. She looked down and saw that it was her little grandson who slipped down from the chair.
"What's wrong with Ziheng?" Su Jinru bent down and talked to the child. Her tone unconsciously became gentle and her face was smiling.
Xia Ziheng covered his little butt with one hand: "Grandma, I want to poop."
"Hey, this can't wait. Come on, grandma will take you to the bathroom." Su Jinru took the child's hand and reminded the other child before leaving the table, "Youyou, stay here and don't run around. Grandma will take your brother to the bathroom."
The little girl blinked her big eyes like black grapes, holding a half-eaten chicken leg in her hand, and said with a greasy mouth: "Okay, grandma."
Su Jinru touched her little head, said "good boy", and took Ziheng out of the side door of the banquet hall.
Xia Xi glanced sideways and saw the figures of a large and small couple. Just as she was about to follow them, someone grabbed her hand. She turned around abruptly and saw the man's mother, Miao Cuixia, with a smile on her face. "Xia Xi, today is thanks to you! I just called home yesterday to tell them that Songbai would be holding a wedding today. Who knew so many people would show up? If you hadn't arranged it in time, I really don't know what I would do."
Xia Xi smiled on her slightly tired face: "It's what I should do."
"I saw it during our last meal together. You're capable of taking charge of important matters. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to Songbai and Xuanxuan's marriage so quickly. You know, your younger sister is ill, and it would be difficult for an ordinary family to accept it."
Xia Xi's brows twitched, but she tried hard not to frown. She felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words.
As far as she knew, it was Chen Songbai who took the initiative to pursue Xia Xuan and said that he would not marry anyone else. But when it came to Chen Songbai's mother, it seemed as if Xia Xuan was unable to get married and had to cling to Chen Songbai?
"Auntie, what do you want to say?"
Xia Xi didn't want to cause any unpleasantness in such an occasion, so she controlled her temper and didn't show any anger, trying to talk to her elders calmly.
Miao Cuixia smiled awkwardly, as if she found it difficult to speak. Her expression kept changing, but she finally said it out loud: "Look, with so many guests suddenly arriving, our budget for the banquet has exceeded. At first, I said we should hold it at another hotel because I know people there and I can get a discount. But it was Xuanxuan who liked this hotel, and Songbai from our family even had a fight with me to give her the grand occasion she wanted..."
Xia Xi understood what she meant and didn't want to argue with her: "I'll pay the extra part."
Miao Cuixia's face lit up with joy, and she said nothing more: "Then I won't bother you anymore. I'll go talk to my relatives. You go ahead and do your thing."
Xia Xi pursed his lips and watched her leave.
She really didn't like the face of her mother, Chen Songbai, who was mercenary and shrewd. If it weren't for Xia Xuan's sake, she wouldn't want to say a word to her.
After this incident, she couldn't help but worry about Xia Xuan's life after marriage.
Dating is a matter between two people, but marriage involves many more things.
"Xixi, you've been busy all morning. Sit down and take a break." A kind voice sounded from the side. Xia Xi looked over and saw that it was her grandmother. She patted the empty seat next to her.
Xia Xi raised the corners of her lips: "Okay."
Xu Yanfeng immediately noticed the woman chatting and laughing in the crowd. She was wearing a wedding-like dress, with her black hair tied up. Her facial features were brighter and more elegant than before.
He narrowed his dark eyes, strode over, and in front of all the guests, grabbed the woman's wrist.
Many people around looked over, with confusion and surprise in their eyes, accompanied by whispers.
When Xia Xi was caught, she thought it was Miao Cuixia who had returned and was looking for her for something again. When she turned around, she froze, and the shock in her eyes was stronger than anyone else's.
She thought that if Tang Yizhou ran into her, he might tell Xu Yanfeng about this. After all, they had a close relationship, but she didn't expect Xu Yanfeng to come so quickly.
When she saw him, all her senses disappeared, as if she was pulled into another time and space by a magical force, and she felt dizzy.
Xu Yanfeng pulled her away as if no one was around. It was not until they left the banquet hall that Xia Xi came to her senses and her lost senses returned. She tried to twist her wrist to break free from his shackles, but the difference in strength between the two was too great, and no matter how hard she struggled, it was in vain.
"Sir, please let me go." Xia Xi squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty.
gentlemen?
A hint of sarcasm appeared on Xu Yanfeng's lips, making his face, which was already covered with a layer of frost, look terribly cold.
Xia Xi was too familiar with Xu Yanfeng like this. Before she succeeded in wooing him, he would always treat her with this cold face, as if he was keeping her at a distance, and warn her to stop.
At that time, she was fearless and faced the difficulties head-on, vowing to melt the iceberg of him. In fact, she did it in the end.
But now... she didn't have the courage to face him again.
Xu Yanfeng took her to the end of the corridor, which was quiet and deserted. He shook her hand and threw her against the wall.
Her exposed back collided with the hard wall, and a burning pain came over her. Xia Xi gasped, and then her neck was grasped by a big hand, with the tiger's mouth stuck in her throat.
The force was not strong, but it made her feel suffocated, and the arc of her chest rose and fell more and more.
The man approached, his stern face magnified in front of Xia Xi, and every word he uttered seemed to be icy: "Xia Xi, how dare you..."
How dare you marry someone else!
Xia Xi refused to meet his eyes. She turned her head away, digging her nails into her palms, forcing herself to calm down: "Sir, you've got the wrong person."
