Chapter 84 He must be very disappointed to have missed Cheng Yan
"Mengjiao, you're here too." Cheng Yan put on her signature smile, gentle and sincere.
Xia Mengjiao was talking to someone when she turned around and saw Cheng Yan. The smile on her face froze.
"Miss Cheng is here too?" Xia Mengjiao's eyes turned.
"Yes, we are all in this circle, and we can't avoid meeting each other at banquets big and small." Cheng Yan said with a smile.
Xia Mengjiao is a little arrogant, and she has a very straightforward personality.
Hearing Cheng Yan say this, she crossed her arms and smiled falsely: "Really? I remember not seeing Miss Cheng in this circle before. This is a new noble person."
Cheng Yan heard that she was mocking her, and the smile on her face almost disappeared.
"Mengjiao, you are such a joker. Your elder brother Zhinan and I..." Cheng Yan wanted to do that again, to show that she and Li Zhinan had the same relationship.
Xia Mengjiao didn't buy it, and she raised her hand: "Stop, my eldest brother is getting married to your cousin. According to seniority, you should call him brother-in-law."
Cheng Yan's breathing stagnated, and a nameless fire rose from her chest.
"Ms. Xia, you seem to be hostile to me." Cheng Yan is not stupid. She feels that Xia Mengjiao's words are sarcastic.
"Miss Cheng, are you overthinking it? I'm just telling you a few truths." Xia Mengjiao had already made up her mind. Cheng Yan was obviously a powerful tigress. She would definitely stand on the same side as Cheng Qian and firmly block this tigress outside the Li family's gate.
"Miss Xia, I know Director Lin, the great Director Lin Peng. Let me introduce you to him." Cheng Yan immediately put her chips on the table: "He's my friend's uncle."
Xia Mengjiao's face changed slightly. She had indeed come here to meet Director Lin, but now that Cheng Yan wanted to introduce her to him, she instantly became alert.
"Is Miss Cheng sincere?" Xia Mengjiao showed a doubtful expression.
Cheng Yan thought Xia Mengjiao was finally going to accept her kindness, so she smiled and walked forward to hold her arm: "Mengjiao, I know you may have some misunderstandings about me. In fact, I have known your brother longer than Cheng Qian."
Xia Mengjiao said, "Miss Cheng, do you think love or marriage can be decided on a first-come, first-served basis?"
Cheng Yan's face froze.
The next second, Xia Mengjiao pushed her arm away: "Maybe it's because I'm married. The original wife prefers to be friends with the original wife. This way, I don't have to worry about someone suddenly jumping out to snatch my husband."
Cheng Yan's eyes widened, a vicious look flashing across her eyes.
Xia Mengjiao gave her a mocking look and turned to look for Cheng Qian.
"Cheng Qian actually knows how to win people's hearts?" Cheng Yan once again refreshed her understanding of Cheng Qian.
As far as she knew, Xia Mengjiao and Cheng Qian had a bad relationship. Could the news be false?
Xia Mengjiao was really fed up with Cheng Yan. She could have taken the opportunity to meet the director tonight, but with Cheng Yan getting in the way, she was afraid she would have no chance.
There was a group of people surrounding Cheng Qian. Xia Mengjiao stood by and watched for a while, and found that they were all people who came to say hello and introduce themselves.
Cheng Qian knew that these people recognized her because she was brought to the banquet by Jiang Meng last time and they knew her identity.
"Sister-in-law, why did they come to see you?" Xia Mengjiao asked, sitting next to her, shaking her red wine glass.
"They all came to say hello." Cheng Qian said softly.
"Oh, these people finally have a good eye for talent. They won't treat some shady people as objects of flattery." Xia Mengjiao said sarcastically with a smile.
Cheng Qian pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, it might be the last banquet when Li Zhinan formally introduced me."
"Sister-in-law, this is how it should be." Xia Mengjiao said seriously, "You are Mrs. Li, so don't let others take all the credit."
Cheng Qian looked not far away and found a pair of venomous snake-like eyes staring at her.
It was Cheng Yan, she was here too.
Xia Mengjiao also saw Cheng Yan looking over here from a distance. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "Sister-in-law, she just came over to try to get close to me. I guess she investigated our previous relationship and thought she could pull me into her camp."
Cheng Qian was shocked and stared at Cheng Yan vigilantly. She was really meticulous and unscrupulous.
"Mengjiao, thank you for standing by my side." Cheng Qian was grateful to her.
"Whatever you say, I can still tell the difference between good and bad." Xia Mengjiao said this, took a sip of red wine, frowned and said: "But, we still have to be wary of her, the old lady likes her very much."
Cheng Qian sighed softly: "Yes, the old lady has always looked down on my background."
Xia Mengjiao's eyes fell on Xiao Ye: "Sister-in-law, the old lady may still suspect that you are using your son to get the position. This is the real reason why she doesn't like you."
Cheng Qian was shocked. She really had no memory of what happened that night.
"You also suspect that I did something?" Cheng Qian sounded bitter.
Xia Mengjiao remained noncommittal: "Sister-in-law, sometimes the process is not that important, the result is important. You have already married Big Brother and gave birth to Xiaoye, so this position should be yours."
Cheng Qian somewhat admired Xia Mengjiao's way of thinking, as she didn't seem to be wasting time.
"Thank you for your guidance. I feel much better." Cheng Qian expressed her gratitude softly.
The banquet was still very lively. Ono had already found a few children of the same age and they were playing in the children's area next to the food area.
Cheng Qian followed him closely throughout the whole process.
She was sitting on a chair when she suddenly heard someone talking about something behind her.
"I heard that Mr. Li spent four whole years searching for someone, searching all over the world for her."
"How is that possible? With the strength of the Li family, how can they still look for someone for four years?"
"It's true. After the girl saved his life, she was sent to the hospital and then suddenly disappeared. Even the name she left behind was fake."
"No way, there is such a thing?"
"Well, if you look through the news from that year now, you can still find that information."
Cheng Qian looked back at the people who were talking, but they didn't seem to notice her. They continued talking and walking away.
Cheng Qian took out her cell phone and typed in the words "Li family missing person notice" on a forum, and suddenly a missing person information appeared.
Cheng Qian clicked on one of the photos in the missing person notice.
It turned out to be a surveillance video. In the video, there was a girl with blood on her hands and a ponytail. The photo was blurry, but Cheng Qian recognized the skirt.
The blue knee-length skirt with a butterfly knot at the back and a doll collar was given to Cheng Yan by Old Lady Cheng on her seventeenth birthday.
Cheng Qian's heart was shaken. She couldn't believe it. Eight years ago, Li Zhinan had been searching the world for Cheng Yan.
This blow made Cheng Qian feel chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
"Mom...I want to drink water." Xiao Ye ran over and said with sweat on his forehead.
Cheng Qian turned around to get the water cup, but because she was distracted, she pushed the cup over and the water spilled out.
Her skirt got wet.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xiaoye's little face was full of concern.
Cheng Qian quickly gathered her composure and said, "I'm fine, I'll pour you another glass.
Cheng Qian absentmindedly accompanied her son until the end of the banquet, while Xia Mengjiao moved among the crowd like a fish in water.
"Sister-in-law, let's go back." Xia Mengjiao also has children and wants to go back early to take care of them.
Cheng Qian sat in the car on the way back, feeling like something had been dug out of her heart.
Perhaps, the person Li Zhinan loved was really Cheng Yan, but he took away her innocence and had Xiao Ye, so he was forced to marry her under pressure.
When he found his savior, he was already married.
He must be very sorry for missing her.
