Chapter 12 The spacious and bright banquet hall is very peaceful...
The spacious and bright banquet hall was very quiet. People's eyes followed the moving Qian Chengshu and Xu Baiqing. Of course, more people's eyes fell on the relatively unfamiliar Xu Baiqing. Her complexion was paler than that of ordinary people, and under her beautiful face, she had a pitiful feeling.
Qian Chengshu brought Xu Baiqing onto the stage. Qian's father asked Xu Baiqing to stand between him and Qian's mother, while Qian Chengshu stood half a step behind as if guarding Xu Baiqing. The atmosphere among the family of four was very harmonious and friendly.
When Qu Xueer saw this scene, she couldn't help but carefully observe Qian Yirong beside her. She felt the atmosphere of the Qian family that vaguely excluded Qian Yirong, and she felt indignant for Qian Yirong in her heart, not to mention Qian Yirong, the person involved. She must be very sad.
However, Qu Xueer discovered that Qian Yirong's attention did not seem to be on the Qian family members on the stage, but was paying attention to other places, which made him unable to help but look over and saw an unexpected person.
Then a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, could it be that Sister Rongrong likes Brother Mu... If she thought so, Qu Xueer couldn't help showing a distressed look. She liked Sister Rongrong, and actually wanted her to be her sister-in-law if possible, but all this was based on the premise that Qian Yirong liked her brother.
If Qian Yirong didn't like her brother, Qu Xueer wouldn't force them together, but it would be a pity. She used to think that Qian Yirong didn't like anyone, but it seemed that after she went abroad, Qian Yirong started to have some feelings for Mu Zexuan.
Maybe it was because of something that happened during the time she was abroad. If she had known, she would not have gone abroad. Qu Xueer felt a little regretful and couldn't help but pay attention to Mu Zexuan like Qian Yirong.
"My little girl Baiqing grew up with my mother and was very much loved by her. So she took her surname Xu." Qian's father said with a smile. Xu Baiqing was unwilling to change her surname, so they could only think of other ways to cover up the matter. Fortunately, Qian's father's mother happened to have the surname Xu, which could explain why Xu Baiqing did not grow up with them and also provide a reasonable explanation for her different surname.
Although many people knew that Xu Baiqing's origins were not as Qian's father said, no one was so foolish as to point this out in front of the Qian family. Of course, private discussions were inevitable.
Just when most of the people's attention was attracted by the Qian family on the stage, Qian Yirong noticed someone approaching Mu Zexuan, and there was some anticipation in her eyes.
The good show is finally about to begin. It will be easier to approach Mu Zexuan while everyone's attention is drawn to it. The person who wants to drug Mu Zexuan is not without a plan.
Qian Yirong saw Mu Zexuan staring at Xu Baiqing on the stage, and casually took the wine glass handed to him, then took a sip casually. Qian Yirong's eyes lit up, and he drank and drank while Mu Zexuan's attention was elsewhere. He didn't think that since someone was so bold as to drug him, he ended up falling for it.
This scene was only seen by Qian Yirong and Xu Baiqing and Qu Xueer, who were paying attention to her because of her. Xu Baiqing had more complicated thoughts, so after seeing Qian Yirong's reaction, he had some guesses in his mind. However, Qu Xueer's thoughts had gone astray from the beginning, so even after seeing this scene, she didn't think of anything else. She just felt that Qian Yirong was really paying too much attention to Mu Zexuan.
In fact, you can be considered as an assist for Xu Baiqing and Mu Zexuan. After all, it was she who pretended to accidentally spill red wine on Xu Baiqing, causing her to change clothes so that she could save Mu Zexuan.
Qian Yirong took the red wine beside her and politely declined Qu Xueer's plan to join her. She had already finished introducing Xu Baiqing to everyone. Judging from Qian's father's expression, he planned to introduce Xu Baiqing to some people with whom he had a good relationship and partners.
The timing chosen by Qian Yirong was really bad. It was no wonder that after pouring wine on Xu Baiqing, Qian's father turned Qian Yirong into an adopted daughter in anger. However, the banquet was originally an important plot in the early stage. Thinking that she was punished with skin hunger for just a small change, if she didn't do this important plot, I'm afraid the punishment would not be so simple.
So even though Qian Yirong disdained to do such a thing, she still had to deal with the requirements of the book. Fortunately, she had discussed it with Xu Baiqing before, and she knew what she had to do. She should be able to avoid it and not be as embarrassed as described in the book.
Anyway, we only talked about pouring wine, so pouring the skirt should also count. Moreover, Xu Baiqing also subtly changed the plot before, but nothing happened. It seems that because he is an outsider, the restrictions are greater.
Qian Yirong deliberately approached Xu Baiqing slowly. After seeing her looking at her, she motioned her to look at the wine glass in her hand, and then she sped up. With the advance reminder just now, she should know what she should do.
When Qian Yirong saw Xu Baiqing nodding slightly at her, she felt certain in her heart, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly for a moment. Then she approached Xu Baiqing and was about to raise her hand to pour the red wine on her, when she saw Xu Baiqing leaning towards her. Then Qian Yirong was caught off guard and bumped into Xu Baiqing, and the red wine in her hand spilled all over her and Xu Baiqing.
Xu Baiqing, who was already the focus of the crowd because of what happened just now, suddenly had this happen, which caused a stir among the people around him. But because of this, everyone knew that this was an accident.
"Oh, why are you so careless?" Qian's mother stepped forward quickly, scolding him and saying, "Why don't you change your clothes quickly?"
After Qian's mother finished speaking, she took the opportunity to express her disrespect to the people around her, and Xu Baiqing also pulled Qian Yirong away towards the dressing room. Qian Yirong did not expect Xu Baiqing to do this. She took a look at the book and found that the content about her pouring wine on Xu Baiqing had changed.
Leaving the bustling banquet hall, it was relatively quiet here. Just in case, Qian's mother had indeed prepared more than one set of dresses for each family member, so there were spare dresses in the dressing room.
"You did it on purpose." Qian Yirong said. She didn't believe that Xu Baiqing would make such a mistake after knowing her plan.
"Of course, my dear sister," Xu Baiqing chuckled. "The Qian family doesn't have that much patience for you anymore, right? I don't know why you would do something that's not good for you, but I don't want you to be kicked out."
Qian Yirong knew that Xu Baiqing was not as innocent as he appeared, but she did not expect that after just a few days of getting along, Xu Baiqing would see the cold and true side beneath the Qian family's warm and harmonious appearance.
"Since you insist on throwing wine on me, my family won't be angry with you if something unexpected happens, compared to if you took the initiative," Xu Baiqing approached Qian Yirong. She took an indigo dress from the hanger beside her and stuffed it into Qian Yirong's hand, urging her, "Go change your clothes first. You must feel uncomfortable with your wet clothes."
Qian Yirong was pushed into the changing room by Xu Baiqing. Although Xu Baiqing disguised the incident as an accident so that she didn't have to bear the blame from Qian's father and mother, she was indeed spilled a lot of wine on her body and felt uncomfortable, so she began to change her clothes.
Compared to the red dress with a large hollow back, the back of this indigo dress is almost completely covered, exposing no skin at all. But because of this, Qian Yirong can only zip up the back of the dress to her waist, which makes it difficult to exert force.
"Um..." Qian Yirong wanted to ask Xu Baiqing for help, but for some reason she felt embarrassed when she opened her mouth.
"What?" Xu Baiqing's voice outside responded quickly.
"The zipper of my dress is difficult to pull up. Can you help me?" Qian Yirong said a little embarrassedly.
"Okay, I'll help." Xu Baiqing agreed without hesitation.
I don’t know if it was Qian Yirong’s illusion, but I always felt that Xu Baiqing’s voice was filled with excitement. Before Qian Yirong could react, Xu Baiqing lifted the curtain of the dressing room and walked in.
Because the changing room was for one person, Xu Baiqing felt a little cramped after entering. Qian Yirong covered her lower back because the zipper was only pulled up to her waist, and her dress spread out, revealing a large area of fair skin.
Xu Baiqing's breathing couldn't help but stop. Although she had her own selfish reasons for choosing this dress, and she also thought that such a situation might happen, but no matter how much she imagined it, it couldn't compare to seeing it with her own eyes.
Qian Yirong may have become shy because of his arrival. The fair skin on her back gradually turned pink, making her look even more attractive. Xu Bai couldn't help swallowing as he cleared his throat.
"Let me help my sister." Xu Baiqing said, getting closer to Qian Yirong. She gently pushed away Qian Yirong's hand that was covering her lower back, and then reached out and touched it.
"Hmm..." Qian Yirong couldn't help but make a sound when she suddenly felt the coldness against her waist. She had known for a long time that Xu Baiqing's body temperature was a little low, but the contact with a place that was not usually touched by other people still made Qian Yirong shiver.
"I'm sorry, sister, I didn't mean it." Xu Baiqing apologized insincerely. The coldness on her waist quickly left, but the feeling of being touched lingered on her skin for a long time, making Qian Yirong blush. She didn't expect that just asking Xu Baiqing to help her pull her clothes would make her feel like she was inviting a wolf into the house.
She heard the subtle sound of a zipper being pulled up and felt Li Fu slowly covering her body. Qian Yirong's body trembled slightly with the sound of the zipper being pulled up until the subtle sound and movement stopped.
"Okay..." Xu Baiqing's voice became a little low. When Qian Yirong heard this, she felt as if she had been pardoned and immediately ran out of the changing room.
Her eyes were shaking and she was breathing lightly until her gaze accidentally fell on the makeup mirror beside her. She saw her rosy face and slightly moist eyes reflected in the makeup mirror. She had never seen herself like this before, and immediately looked away in panic.
