Chapter 595: Confusion (2)
Gan Youmeng originally had no chance to attend such a dinner.
It's just that she conquered the male protagonist group, so one of them brought her here. And that person, who is set to be a genius scientific research expert, is named Nan Xiangzhu.
His family background is also prominent.
Although it is not as good as the Gu family, it also has a considerable business.
It’s just that Nan Xiangzhu rarely attends such occasions, but Gan Youmeng suddenly came to the laboratory and said that she wanted to go out to dinner with him to see the beautiful big sister.
At that time.
The girl in front of him blinked her bright eyes and looked at him expectantly.
Nan Xiangzhu hesitated a little, but still agreed.
He was still a little happy that Gan Youmeng came to him for help instead of asking others for help.
And now, in the noisy hall.
He could hear many of the invited guests chatting with each other. The girl sitting next to him was wearing a pink and white evening dress, which made her skin look even more fair. Under the incandescent lights in the hall, she looked particularly beautiful.
She sat in her seat and looked around curiously.
Those clear eyes were timid, filled with deer-like alertness and obvious nervousness.
The girl's curly brown hair was hanging down.
It makes her look even more petite and cute.
Nan Xiangzhu's gaze involuntarily lingered on her, his eyes softening slightly. You Meng was the most innocent and simple girl he had ever met. At that time, she had foolishly gotten lost.
Accidentally came to the outside of their laboratory.
Nan Xiangzhu was leaving at the time. When he opened the door, he saw a girl squatting there crying. After asking, he found out that she had lost her way.
He personally sent the person out.
The girl was so grateful that she said she wanted to repay him.
Nan Xiangzhu naturally didn't take it seriously at the time, but then, every day, he saw this girl waiting for him in the lab. Every time she came, she would carry a small bag and see him.
She shyly handed him the lunch box she had made herself.
Once, twice, and for a week straight.
Nan Xiangzhu was gradually moved by her persistence. When Gan Youmeng came again, he proposed for the first time to go out for dinner with the girl.
The little girl was naturally surprised and happy.
That's how the two of them came into contact.
"Brother Xiangzhu, this place is so beautiful. I love it so much. This lamp is also sparkling, like a diamond."
Gan Youmeng looked left and right, supported her cheeks with both hands on the table and couldn't help sighing.
"Do you like it?"
Nan Xiangzhu followed her line of sight and glanced at her briefly, then his eyes fell on Gan Youmeng again.
"Yeah, I like it very much!"
The girl nodded firmly without hesitation. Nan Xiangzhu smiled slightly when she saw this and said, "I'll give you a prettier one when I get back."
"ah?"
Gan Youmeng was stunned for a moment, looking at him in disbelief. Then, she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, biting her lips lightly and muttering "hmm".
She said she liked it very much.
Brother Xiangzhu wanted to give it to her himself, so if she refused, wouldn't her previous statement of liking it be a lie? So she had no choice but to agree.
The two of them didn't have time to continue chatting.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet. However, this silence only lasted for a few seconds, and then it was followed by an even more enthusiastic outburst.
Gan Youmeng tilted her head, somewhat confused.
She subconsciously looked up ahead and saw a staircase winding down. A woman was walking down calmly. She was wearing a moon-white, almost silk evening gown, and her long hair was gently tied up, revealing her slender and graceful neck.
Following the downward outline, the slender waist can be grasped in one hand.
She walked gracefully and calmly, appropriately and gracefully.
When she noticed someone was looking at her, she curved her eyebrows and smiled faintly. Her superior, cold, white, and milky skin was even more dazzling.
Xi's father, who was standing down the stairs, looked at his daughter with satisfaction.
As the man walked down, he raised his hand to support him gently. The girl, who looked gentle and quiet, also stood obediently beside her father, with her eyebrows slightly lowered.
He seems to be very obedient.
She followed her father and got to know many powerful people. However, the people present looked at Qiao Xi with somewhat meaningful eyes.
It caused a lot of uproar more than half a year ago.
Wasn't this the person who was kidnapped by foreign criminal gangs? Not only was he a victim, he even provided important clues to the higher-ups. The outsiders were also arrested.
Now everyone is here safely.
And her identity was revealed, she was the only daughter of the Xi family.
I really don’t know what the moody prince would think. You know, some people who were not in their circle knew some inside information and leaked it out, and basically they were all "taught a lesson" abroad.
Often there is no return.
The prince had never been caught doing this kind of business, but the appearance of Qiao Xi had already caused the downfall of one of his colleagues.
It’s almost time to reach Nan Xiangzhu’s table.
Gan Youmeng also began to feel uneasy. She glanced at the man beside her, and then looked at Qiao Xi and her father who were approaching.
How powerful is the heroine's halo.
But she knew, what if Brother Xiangzhu was attracted by the heroine's aura, fell in love with her at first sight, and then abandoned her?
Gan Youmeng didn't want to see what happened in the plot.
What should she do if all the male protagonists dote on the female protagonist and start to have interactions with her?
Thinking so.
Seeing Nan Xiangzhu standing up with his wine glass in hand, Gan Youmeng looked at the untouched glass of wine in front of her. She gritted her teeth and stood up, picking up her glass as well.
Qiao Xi's father was a little surprised.
He did not recognize this unfamiliar woman, but seeing that she seemed to be very dependent on the son of the Nan family, he naturally understood quickly.
It must be the other person’s female companion.
Out of courtesy, Xi's father naturally asked Qiao Xi to say hello to the other party.
The girl was obviously very sensible. After her father moved aside a little, Qiao Xi came forward with her champagne, smiled and nodded to the two people in front of her in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"Mr. Nan, Miss Gan."
Gan Youmeng's eyes widened in surprise when she heard Qiao Xi could accurately pronounce her last name.
Seriously.
Her small family had no sense of existence, not even the tip of the tail of these ancient families. She was brought here by Nan Xiangzhu, naturally because of Nan Xiangzhu's influence. Everyone knew that she was Nan Xiangzhu's female companion.
However, I don't know her name.
As she followed Nan Xiangzhu in, the bigwigs from all walks of life she met didn't even glance at her.
This also made Gan Youmeng feel deeply frustrated.
"You, you know who I am?" Now hearing Qiao Xi say her last name, she covered her tail in surprise and blinked her clear eyes in disbelief.
Nan Xiangzhu saw her cute reaction.
The look he gave Gan Youmeng naturally became softer.
How could anyone not know how cute she is? Such a lovely and kind girl should be remembered by more people.
Qiao Xi took in all the changes in their expressions.
Then she lowered her eyes slightly, pursed her lips and smiled faintly: "Yes, I learned about it by chance. I thought the name was very cute, so I remembered it. Now that I see Miss Gan in person, I think she is even more beautiful and lovely. She is very spiritual."
Qiao Xi's eyebrows were curved.
She teased him half-jokingly, and the girl's gentle voice, like a spring breeze, did not make people feel uncomfortable at all.
Nan Xiangzhu heard this.
He couldn't help but look at Qiao Xi. Even though it was just a polite remark, he could indeed feel the kindness released by the girl in front of him.
Regarding Qiao Xi's experience.
Nan Xiangzhu had some understanding of it, but he himself didn't like to pay attention to any entertainment news or hot topics.
but.
My colleagues around me would discuss it, and some were saying things like a rich girl was kidnapped and so on.
Just now when Qiao Xi went downstairs.
Nan Xiangzhu's attention was all on Gan Youmeng, and he hadn't even looked at the woman in front of him. However, now, when he really looked at Qiao Xi seriously, Nan Xiangzhu's pupils shrank in an instant.
This person...
It gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Where?
Nan Xiangzhu quickly searched his memories in his mind, and at a certain moment, the turning pages of memory seemed to pause and freeze on a certain picture.
That’s right.
It was the lover whom he had admired before, the lover whom the senior had been thinking about all the time and had now disappeared!
Think of this.
Nan Xiangzhu could no longer care about anything else. He put down the wine glass in his hand and stepped in front of Qiao Xi. Seeing the girl's slightly surprised expression, he grabbed her wrist.
And this change.
This also completely stunned Gan Youmeng who was standing next to her. By the time Gan Youmeng reacted, Nan Xiangzhu in front of him had already grasped Qiao Xi's wrist.
See this scene.
Her hand suddenly trembled, and the wine glass suddenly became unstable and fell from her hand.
"Click——"
The sound of the glass shattering into pieces was particularly crisp. It echoed in the relatively empty hall and immediately attracted the attention of those around.
And Nan Xiangzhu reacted.
He took a step back and quickly released Qiao Xi's wrist. However, this scene was still seen by many people.
What about Qiao Xi?
Everyone present knew that even if she was the daughter of the Xi family, she had been kidnapped by evil forces and taken abroad. Who knew if there was anything dirty on her body?
Now it looks decent.
It's hard to say what kind of person he is in private.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
When he was attracted by the sound of Gan Youmeng's wine glass falling to the ground, his eyes became more meaningful when he saw this scene.
Nan Xiangzhu came back to his senses.
First, he checked whether Gan Youmeng beside him was injured. He was the one who brought the person here, so it was reasonable for him to care about him first.
"Did you manage to get any?"
Nan Xiangzhu looked serious as he carefully examined her soft little hands.
"It's okay, Brother Xiangzhu."
Gan Youmeng's delicate and timid voice came, she looked at Qiao Xi apologetically, then lowered her eyes slightly and bit her lip, her face full of guilt.
"I'm sorry... I interrupted Xiangzhu brother's conversation."
Gan Youmeng blamed himself and felt guilty.
Nan Xiangzhu's heart almost softened when he saw her like this. The excitement that surged when he saw Qiao Xi quickly subsided.
"It's okay, Youmeng, there's no need to apologize for something like this."
The boy's tone still seemed a little cold, but it was not difficult to hear his concern for Gan Youmeng.
And Qiao Xi was left aside from beginning to end.
It was as if the person whose hand Nan Xiangzhu had just grabbed was not her.
Perhaps he also noticed the gazes of the people around him.
The girl lifted her skirt slightly and prepared to say goodbye to Nan Xiangzhu.
Before leaving, Qiao Xi still had a generous and elegant smile on her face, without any flaws.
"Mr. Nan is worried, so it's better to take Miss Gan for a checkup. There are doctors here."
Her tone was gentle and concerned.
The soft voice sounded as if she really cared about Gan Youmeng.
When Nan Xiangzhu heard her say this, his impression of Qiao Xi improved a little.
At least not like those other people.
Don't be so bullying and look down on young children.
Nan Xiangzhu's expression softened considerably, and he nodded slightly in response to Qiao Xi: "Okay."
Qiao Xi left.
I went to the next table and continued chatting and laughing with others as if nothing had happened.
Gan Youmeng watched her calm back as she left.
Thinking back to Nan Xiangzhu's somewhat softened expression when he responded to Qiao Xi just now, she immediately felt unbalanced, even if she was slow to react.
Brother Xiangzhu is obviously hers.
Why is it that once the heroine comes here, she can easily get what she cares about!
The heroine’s halo is annoying!
Gan Youmeng's delicate face was stern, her lips pouting, and she was huffing, looking fierce and aggressive. She glared at Nan Xiangzhu fiercely, then put her hands on her hips and snorted.
"Youmeng, what's wrong?"
When Nan Xiangzhu saw her with this expression, he felt an indescribable throbbing in his heart.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little happy when Youmeng showed him this expression.
"I don't want to bother with Brother Xiangzhu anymore, humph. I'm going to go play with Brother Yan!"
She sees a man who doesn't know how to coax her.
Gan Youmeng became even angrier. He snorted and pushed Nan Xiangzhu away, heading in another direction.
The Yan family is also an ancient family, so of course they will come.
It was just at another venue, not here. Gan Youmeng didn't have the credentials to get in, but she could call Yan Liang's people to come pick her up.
As soon as I saw her leaving.
Nan Xiangzhu was momentarily stunned, then quickly followed, trying to grab the person. However, Gan Youmeng shied away from him with a flick of her hand, snorting angrily with her hands on her hips.
"It's a deal! If you make me angry, Brother Xiangzhu, I can find other brothers to play with."
This sentence completely stopped Nan Xiangzhu's actions.
He had previously discovered that there were many rivals in Gan Youmeng's love, and they had agreed to compete fairly with each other so that Gan Youmeng could choose the person she truly liked.
so.
They basically revolve around Gan Youmeng and wait for Gan Youmeng to make decisions. This is one of them.
We can’t let Youmeng be unhappy.
So if she is unhappy, she can find someone else. Nan Xiangzhu is neither her boyfriend nor her relative, so there is no way to stop her.
therefore.
He could only stand there and watch Gan Youmeng leave. With a slight sigh, Nan Xiangzhu rubbed his eyebrows with a headache.
