Chapter 225 I was given away to the Xie family
When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.
Qi Mo poured a bowl of soup for his sister and looked at Xie Yi with a smile in his eyes: "Little Xie, you wouldn't have kidnapped someone else's sister and raised her as your own, right?"
Xie Yi was provoked and roared in his heart, but his face did not show any emotion: "I, Xie Yi, still need to kidnap someone else's sister?"
Qi Mo raised his eyebrows and said nothing, but his eyes told it all.
Lu Shiman silently picked up a piece of fish for Xie Yi, carefully picked out the fish bones, and pushed the bowl in front of him.
"Brother, eat fish." Lu Shiman looked at Xie Yi and smiled sweetly.
Xie Yi was in such a good mood that even ordinary fish tasted much better.
Qi Mo helped his sister peel the shrimps and his inquiring eyes fell on Xie Yi.
Brothers and sisters tend to look somewhat similar, but the two people in front of me have completely different looks.
Moreover, he didn't remember that the Xie family had a daughter.
The Qi family moved to Beijing when Qi Mo was a few years old, and the company's business is mostly done in Beijing.
He didn't know much about the situation of the wealthy families in Jincheng.
"Why doesn't your sister have the surname Xie, but her mother's?" Qi Mo seemed to speak casually, but in fact he wanted to expose Xie Yi. After all, he had given up the profit in the cooperation, so naturally he had to get it back from other places.
Qi Mo's sister Qi Si asked doubtfully, "But I remember Auntie's last name wasn't Lu."
Xie Yi secretly rolled his eyes in his heart: "Oh, I was given away, sent to the Xie family."
Qi Mo raised his eyebrows slightly, shocked in his heart. There was actually such a secret, and it was told so casually by the person involved?
Lu Shiman was talking to his fans. When he heard his words, he choked and couldn't help coughing.
Xie Yi considerately handed over a glass of water: "Sister, eat slowly, there's no rush."
"Then Brother Xie, why were you sent away?" Qi Si put down her chopsticks and started gossiping. Although she was young, she had a long history of gossiping. Her mother told her that when she was a child, no matter how hard she cried, she would stop crying immediately as soon as she heard gossip.
"The Lu family had too many children and couldn't afford to raise them, so they sent me, the smartest one, to the Xie family." Xie Yi lied with his eyes open.
Qi Si thought thoughtfully: "Is Sister Lu's family very poor?"
Lu Shiman nodded: "Yeah, very poor, barely able to make ends meet."
Qi Mo always felt that something was wrong, but when he saw the two of them singing in unison, he felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong.
While asking, Qi Si was also synchronizing with the group in real time. The group was filled with the croaking of frogs, all shouting "Gua Gua Gua".
"Sister Lu, do you have other brothers and sisters besides Brother Xie?" Qi Si continued to dig deeper.
Lu Shiman had almost finished eating. She wiped her mouth and looked at Qi Si who was gossiping. Suddenly, she thought of her own Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao was also so cute when she was gossiping.
"Yes, besides my brother, I have four older brothers."
Qi Mo grasped the key point: surname Lu, four brothers, and the Lu family in Jincheng?
"Is it the Lu family of Howard Johnson Group?" Qi Mo interrupted.
Xie Yi tsk-tsked, "I brought my sister here to eat, not to be questioned by you two."
Qi Si pursed her lips and apologized obediently: "I'm sorry, Sister Lu, I talked too much."
"No, we're just chatting." Lu Shiman still had a good impression of Qi Si. In some aspects, he was very similar to her own Jiaojiao.
"Sister Lu, did you cry when Brother Xie was sent away?" Qi Si was already convinced.
"I don't remember."
Qi Mo's face was calm, but his heart was already in turmoil. Why was there no news about this matter before?
It turns out that the Lu family has six siblings, not five?
He never expected that the heir of the Xie family would be a child of the Lu family.
He had also heard about Lu Yannan's methods in the business world. Howard Johnson had grown to its current scale under his leadership. He was a very powerful figure.
If Xie Yi and the Lu family have this kind of relationship, then we can consider deepening our cooperation with the Xie family.
"Brother, this fruit is so sweet. Do you want to have some?" Lu Shiman picked up a piece of fruit and handed it to Xie Yi.
Xie Yi took it happily and chatted about business with Qi Mo while eating.
After the meal, Xie Yi realized the benefits of having a younger sister, and secretly made a decision in his heart: he would definitely be Lu Shiman's fifth brother!
After the dinner, Xie Yi suggested going for a drink. Qi Mo had no objection, and Qi Si was even more excited.
"Brother, I won't go. You guys go." Lu Shiman just wanted to go home and hug Ji Linshen. She missed him so much after not seeing him for the whole day.
"Sister Lu, just come with us. My brother took me out to play with great difficulty." Qi Si acted coquettishly.
"Let's go together. I'll take you back in the evening." Xie Yi naturally picked up Lu Shiman's coat and bag, and blinked pleadingly at an angle where the Qi brothers and sisters couldn't see.
Seeing him like this, Lu Shiman couldn't bear to refuse. Besides, she hadn't got the embarrassing photos of her third brother yet.
The four of them walked to the elevator. Xie Yi carried Lu Shiman's bag, his cashmere coat tucked into his arms like a docile cloud. "Wear it, it's a bit cold out here."
Lu Shiman put on her coat with his hand, turned around and smiled at Xie Yi: "Thank you, brother~" The last syllable of her words was drowned out by the noise from the next box.
The door of the private room next door was opened, and the smell of alcohol mixed with flattering smiles poured out.
Several middle-aged men in suits and ties bowed and nodded, surrounding a tall figure.
Five middle-aged men surrounded the central figure in a fan-shaped formation. One of them, with a beer belly, bowed obsequiously: "Boss Ji, the project after the new year..."
Lu Shiman had just put on one sleeve and was about to stretch out his other hand when the words "Mr. Ji" shot through the back of his neck like an electric current.
She looked up suddenly, and the right sleeve of her cashmere coat slipped to the ground.
Ji Linshen put one hand in his trouser pocket, and the royal blue silk tie knot was penetrated by the beam of the overhead light.
Neatly manicured nails tapped lightly against the champagne glass, and the crisp sounds cut off all flattery.
"Looking forward to cooperating with your company." A cold tone echoed in the corridor, and Ji Linshen slightly raised his chin to signal Chu Qi to take the business card.
Lu Shiman stood there in a daze, the sleeves of his coat swaying slightly in the wind.
Ji Linshen suddenly turned his head to look at her, and his eyes, as sharp as ice knives, suddenly melted when they touched her figure.
Qi Mo and Xie Yi looked in the direction of Ji Linshen at the same time.
"Mr. Ji, what a coincidence to meet you here." Qi Mo stepped forward and greeted politely.
Ji Lin nodded deeply: "Mr. Qi, long time no see."
As he spoke, his eyes swept across the lady's bag in Xie Yi's hand, and his eyes turned a little colder.
This bag belongs to Lu Shiman, and the "Thank you, brother~" she just said also fell accurately into his ears.
He walked over to Lu Shiman and helped her put on her coat. He turned around and looked at Xie Yi coldly: "Mr. Xie is very caring."
The hairs on the back of Xie Yi's neck stood up at these words, and his fingers holding the bag strap unconsciously scratched the leather.
He swallowed nervously: "Of course, brother-in-law."
