Chapter 29: Rivals Are Jealous When They Meet
Jiang Qin was surprised at Huo Sili's quickness. She opened her mouth to say something, but Huo Sili sat down next to her without any hesitation.
Jiang Qin's eyes widened, and she subconsciously frowned and glared at Huo Sili.
Huo Sili looked back at her, his thin lips slightly raised, "Why, Secretary Jiang doesn't welcome me?"
Is that even necessary? The moment Huo Sili finished speaking, Jiang Qin thought of this.
But in this situation, with Xie Youan sitting opposite, the other guests in the restaurant were also clearly looking over here, and...
Jiang Qin raised her eyes diagonally across the table where several girls were sitting, and saw a girl holding up her cell phone and taking a photo of them.
The girl, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, had the kind of straightforward surprise in her eyes after seeing an extremely handsome man. She was undoubtedly taking pictures of Horsley, or maybe even recording a video instead of taking pictures.
It is said that beauty lies in bones, not skin, but this man, Huo Sili, has good bones and good skin, which can be called a king bomb.
He just sits here, doing nothing, and yet he's enough to attract attention.
So Jiang Qin could only say this in her heart.
After all, trouble comes from the mouth. At this moment, she is already troubled by the issue of divorce, and the old lady is not in good health either.
She had no idea whether the little girl would upload the photo to the Internet, or whether it would be seen by the Huo family and then known to the old lady.
After thinking about all this in a flash, Jiang Qin naturally showed a professional smile on his face.
"Mr. Huo, you are joking. How could I not welcome you?"
The tone was also so gentle and polite that there was nothing to fault with it.
"Yeah?"
But Huo Sili looked at him but had no intention of turning the page. "But I saw Secretary Jiang just now, and it was clear that he didn't welcome me."
On the opposite side, Xie Youan looked at Huo Sili, then looked at Jiang Qin, and opened his mouth, obviously wanting to say something.
Suddenly, a scream attracted the attention of most people in the restaurant.
“Ahhhhhhhh!! Help…”
Boom! !
There was a loud thud of someone falling to the ground right after that, and just hearing it made one's bones ache.
Amid the loud noise, Jiang Qin and Huo Sili looked towards the source of the sound.
Then I saw Li Xueqin prostrating herself on the ground.
It seemed like he tripped over the threshold and fell down.
Jiang Qin raised her eyebrows slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
After all, there is a large "Beware of Threshold" sign on the ground directly in front of the door.
It is very large and bright yellow, and very eye-catching.
How can I not see it?
However, what surprised Jiang Qin more than Li Xueqin's fall was the reaction of the people around her.
After looking over, she thought that Horsley would definitely go over to help the other person immediately, but Horsley didn't even move.
Isn't she his white moonlight?
What is going on?
Jiang Qin didn't understand and was a little curious, but it was just curiosity, not concern.
The glass wound on her calf was scabbing over. She had not forgotten how despicable and mean the means Li Xueqin had used on her last time were.
In front, Li Xueqin was helped up by a man and a woman. They were the store owner and a girl at the next table who had recognized her before.
Rich families care the most about their reputation. After Li Xueqin fell like that, even if no one was around, she would be in great shape.
Not to mention that when she fell just now, she was so scared that she screamed.
So much so that now most eyes in the store are directed towards her!
After standing up again, Li Xueqin's whole face turned red. Of course, it was not because she was shy, but she simply felt embarrassed.
Her family is a wealthy and upper-class family in Beijing, and she is a well-known young lady in Beijing. From childhood to adulthood, when has she ever made such an embarrassing mistake?
What's more, Horsley is right in front!
What did she do? It's so embarrassing!
However, as a professional actor, Li Xueqin quickly adjusted her mindset and thought that this restaurant was not a high-end one and there shouldn't be many people in the circle. That is to say, apart from what she had just heard, few people here should know her.
She felt better thinking this way, but at this moment, the little girl next to her called out her name excitedly.
"Xuexue, it's really you!!" The voice was surprisingly loud.
Li Xueqian was startled and looked at the girl next to her, wanting her to speak more quietly.
However, when she saw her looking at her, the girl became even more excited. She let out a cry and said, "Oh my God! It's really you!"
Li Xueqian's face immediately turned green, and with the redness from before, her entire complexion suddenly became extremely colorful.
But the girl obviously didn't notice. She excitedly took out her phone, took a selfie, and gave her a coquettish look.
"Xuexue, can we take a photo together? Please."
The sharp explosion in Li Xueqin's heart became even more devastating.
Group photo? What has she become? Why are you still taking photos with her?
Are you crazy? !
However, snap!
The girl was very outgoing, so I took her silence as a yes and did what she said.
After taking the photo, he smiled happily and said to her, "Thank you, Xuexue! I love you!"
Under the mask, Li Xueqian's face was distorted.
I almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
But I didn’t dare to get angry in public, so I could only reply: “I love you!”
On this side, the waiter came with a tray serving the food.
"Beautiful lady, handsome man, your orders are ready. Please move aside. I'll give you two..."
As she spoke, she realized something was wrong and took a serious look at the handsome man who had a strong presence next to Jiang Qin.
His eyes suddenly widened and he smiled and hurriedly changed the subject, "Serve the dishes to you three!"
The next second after these words were spoken, a female voice interrupted.
Li Xueqian walked over, her eyes fell on Huo Sili, and she spoke softly.
"Brother Sili, we should go there. If we are any later, we will be late."
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The waiter glanced at Li Xueqin who suddenly came over, noticed the changing atmosphere around him, put the last dish on the table, tactfully omitted the words "enjoy your meal", and left quickly.
Xie Youan, who had hardly spoken a word since Huo Sili came over, glanced at the visitor, then retracted his gaze to the delicious food on the table.
The next second, he looked at Jiang Qin with a gentle smile, "This store is good, the real thing is the same as the photo."
The strange atmosphere loosened, Jiang Qin looked back at Xie Youan with a smile, and then turned her gaze to the dining table as he said. She saw the steaming dishes and smelled the fragrant aroma of vegetables. Each dish looked delicious and had good color, aroma and taste.
"Well, it does look delicious, then..."
Jiang Qin picked up the chopsticks and didn't look at Huo Sili again, "Then let's eat."
Li Xueqian was delighted when she saw this, and reached out to shake Huo Sili's hand, "Brother Sili, let's go!"
However, he failed to shake the hand. The man put his hand in his pocket, stood up, and looked down at the woman beside him who had already started eating.
"Secretary Jiang, I'm going home tonight."
Suddenly he spoke up and said this.
Jiang Qin's heart sank suddenly when he was named, but he remained calm and didn't want to pay attention to him, his expression didn't change at all.
Xie Youan, who was not named, suddenly had a dark look in his eyes and looked towards Huo Sili.
Huo Sili pursed his thin lips and raised an arc towards Xie Youan as if to declare his sovereignty, with a rare arrogance in his eyes.
It's like a high-speed rotating cutting machine hitting steel, and sparks burst out instantly.
