Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Everyone was stunned for a few seconds. The people of high society did not lack money. What they wanted was nothing more than reputation and power. Now that they were able to et Fang Shiyun at the apprenticeship banquet and have Xia ngyan introduce them, this was a great thing. Why would Qiao Xi refuse?
“Old Xia, didn’t you say that your granddaughter isn’t willing to co? But…” The person who spoke pointed at the woman not far away. “Isn’t that…”
He had seen Qiao Xi before and knew that she was Xia Cheng’s granddaughter. Now that he saw her in Yingyun Hall, he could not help but be slightly surprised.
Xia Cheng turned around, and the smile on his face froze.
Qiao Xi? Why was she here?
After a mont of silence, he suddenly reacted. Qiao Xi had rejected him earlier because she was embarrassed. After thinking about it, she was unwilling to give up, so she secretly ran to Yingyun Hall and claid that she was from the Xia family. She wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Fang Shiyun.
Xia Cheng grunted coldly and hurriedly walked forward to question her. When Qiao Xi heard Xia Cheng’s voice, she turned around with a calm expression.
The atmosphere beca awkward for a mont. She was stunned for a few seconds, then turned around and left indifferently as if these people did not exist.
Xia Cheng’s expression darkened. Qiao Xi wanted to use ngyan’s relationship to get close to Fang Shiyun, but she was still so disrespectful to the Xia family? Did she really think that she could obtain Fang Shiyun’s recognition after entering Yingyun Hall? Without ngyan’s introduction, how could Fang Shiyun pay attention to her?!
Qiao Xi not showing him any respect in front of everyone made him feel extrely embarrassed. He could not help but question loudly, “Xi Xi, how can you ignore your elders?”
Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks, and the corners of her mouth curled into a disdainful smile.
Xia Cheng could not suppress the anger in his heart, but he could not flare up in front of so many guests. He could only suppress his anger and pretend to be loving as he asked, “Xi Xi, didn’t you reject ngyan’s invitation previously? Why are you suddenly here? Did you secretly sneak in after lying to the waiter?”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s eyes were filled with ridicule and disdain. Xia ngyan had invited her a long ti ago, but she clearly rejected. Now, she ran over and even deceived the waiter to sneak in. What was going on?
In the end, she was just jealous that Xia ngyan could acknowledge Fang Shiyun as her master. She did not want to be suppressed by Xia ngyan, but she was unwilling to miss this opportunity to get to know Fang Shiyun.
Xia Cheng glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, which were filled with disdain. Then, he said as if he was lecturing her, “Xi Xi, you rejected ngyan previously, and she was depressed for a long ti. Now that you’ve used ngyan’s na to enter Yingyun Hall, shouldn’t you go and thank ngyan? I know no one was around to teach you manners in the past, but now that you’re in the Xia family, I have to teach you the right conduct!”
Qiao Xi frowned and raised her eyes to look at Xia Cheng with a slightly puzzled gaze. She was really curious how Xia Cheng had the cheek to say such words. How shaless!
She entered Yingyun Hall because of Xia ngyan? How laughable!
Seeing this, the waiter at the side knew that Xia Cheng had misunderstood. He hurriedly went forward to explain, “Mr. Xia, it’s not like that. Actually, Miss Qiao is here to—”
Xia Cheng frowned and interrupted the waiter, “Shut up! You’re just a waiter. This is our family matter. It’s not your place to interfere! Xi Xi, you broke ngyan’s heart previously. Even if you don’t thank her, you should apologize! You can’t be as willful as before. I’m doing this for your own good.”
Qiao Xi didn’t even raise her eyes as she grunted coldly. “Apologize to her?”
“Xi Xi, we’re family. ngyan is tolerant and magnanimous, so she naturally won’t bicker with you over such a small matter. However, I can’t let you continue fooling around like this. Just because your family tolerates you, you think you can fool around outside too? Hurry up and apologize to ngyan!” Xia Cheng ordered.
Qiao Xi quietly looked at Xia Cheng’s pretentious appearance and suddenly beca interested. If he knew that the Yin family was holding a banquet here today, how would he feel?
Qiao Xi blinked and said indifferently, “Old Master Xia, how can you be sure that I got to co in by bringing up Xia ngyan’s apprenticeship banquet?”
Xia Cheng sneered. “Xi Xi, those who can Yingyun Hall would have made an appointnt in advance. The entire first floor of Yingyun Hall has been booked by today. If you didn’t co with the excuse to attend the apprenticeship banquet, what else could it be? Even if you made an appointnt at the last minute, it would be too late!”
The waiter explained anxiously, “Mr. Xia, Miss Qiao does have an appointnt. It has nothing to do with the Xia family. She’s here to—”
“Heh! How much did Qiao Xi give you to make you so anxious to defend her?” Xia Cheng sneered, his eyes filled with ridicule.
