Several elderly ladies kindly reminded Xiang Yiqing.
Xiang Yiqing was awkward and speechless. He glanced again at Xin Xiaoxiao, and she happened to look up at him. eting his gaze, she winked playfully at him.
He didn’t want to speak and gave a slight nod to the group of old n and won, then turned to leave.
"Doctor Xiang, wait for ."
Xin Xiaoxiao quickly got up, grabbed her bag, and hurried to catch up with Xiang Yiqing.
"Alright, we can go now."
Xiang Yiqing turned his head, raising an uncertain brow, "We?"
"You promised , you’d go to my dad’s celebration banquet," Xin Xiaoxiao quickened her pace and blocked Xiang Yiqing’s path, "You’re not backing out, are you?"
"Speak, why do you insist on going?" Xiang Yiqing crossed his arms, looking at Xin Xiaoxiao, still with his brow raised.
He couldn’t believe she was tirelessly pestering him just to repay a favor.
Her whole deanor exuded her ’bad girl’ nature. Being so patient, she must have another agenda, just like how she clung to him for days for her father’s legal case.
"Alright, alright, I won’t hide it from you," Xin Xiaoxiao pouted and finally told the truth, "There’s a man I really hate who’s going today, and my dad wants to marry him."
At this point, Xiang Yiqing could roughly guess what she wanted him to do.
Right now, he really wanted to say three words: Damn it!
He looked up at the sky for a mont, then at Xin Xiaoxiao, "Did I dig up your family’s ancestral grave in my past life or sothing?"
"I really don’t want to marry that guy. He’s a stud, and marrying is just for my family’s money. My dad is really muddled, willing to agree to anything to get married off. I suspect he’s in a rush to marry off so he can bring another woman ho, afraid I won’t get along with his potential wife. That old man is too crafty."
Xin Xiaoxiao said this, reaching out with a small hand to tug gently at the pocket of Xiang Yiqing’s white coat.
A few days ago, wasn’t she the one crying her eyes out, saying how good their old man was, that he hadn’t married for so many years for her, and it was very touching?
People sure have two sides; they say whatever they want.
What a load of nonsense!
Xiang Yiqing didn’t want to be entangled with Xin Xiaoxiao anymore, he looked at her seriously and sternly, "I’m telling you, stop pestering , or I’ll turn cold. I don’t want to help you and end up getting screwed over, got it?"
After saying this, he turned around coldly and left quickly.
Xin Xiaoxiao knew he was truly angry this ti, she pouted and slumped her shoulders in defeat.
Sigh!
...
The celebration banquet for Xin Hailong winning the legal case was held with great pomp, right at their own Hairui Hotel. The attendees were all influential figures in Hai City’s business or political circles.
Firecrackers wrapped around the hotel entrance square, and an archway of flowers stood at the door, looking incredibly festive.
Ji Anning got out of the car, holding Ji Chicheng’s arm, and upon seeing this scene, thought it was so exaggerated.
"Is this all planned by Xin Xiaoxiao or Xin Hailong himself? It’s so over-the-top, it’s like a wedding."
Ji Chicheng originally didn’t want to co, but Xin Hailong personally invited him with sincerity, and Ji Anning agreed to it.
After all, the two families are in a cooperative relationship now. If there are many attendees tonight and he, as a partner, doesn’t show up, what would people think? The dia would definitely make a fuss about it.
