Chapter 499 Mr. X's Invitation
Chapter 499 Mr. X's Invitation
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi suppressed the emotion in her heart, and then turned her eyes to the man again, getting rid of the previous confusion, and calmed down a lot. It's all a lot more obvious.
Hearing Qiao Xi's words, the man laughed angrily, looking at Qiao Xi, his deep eyes became more and more meaningful, "Don't you think it's a bit late to ask me this? "
While talking, the man stood up slowly, and then looked at Qiao Xi, with a rare faint smile on his thin and cool lips, and then said, "It's just a favor for my friend, I will wait until the banquet tonight." See."
After finishing speaking, the man didn't say anything more to Qiao Xi, and just turned around and left.
Before he could walk out of Qiao Xi's room completely, the man stopped his steps as if he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and gave Qiao Xi a meaningful look, and said, "I won't go to the venue with you, but Don't accept other people's invitations, you understand?"
After finishing speaking, the man turned around and left without waiting for Qiao Xi's answer.
Looking at the back of the man leaving, Qiao Xi didn't even say a word, just looked at him blankly, with complicated emotions on his face.
I have to say that this "Mr. X" is really too familiar.
Without paying any more attention to the man's attitude, Qiao Xi also returned to the bedside, although Qiao Xi didn't know the details of the man.
But a kind of intuition has been telling Qiao Xi that this man will not hurt her.
An inexplicable intuition, but it has never been so strong.
Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Qiao Xi also began to think about what the man left just now.
Don't accept someone else's invitation?
Now that she is in Jane's house, she is an unpopular character at all. It's fine if no one makes things difficult for her. How could anyone invite her?
Even if someone wants to invite her, he has to weigh himself, whether he can withstand the rejection and anger of Jian Yuheng and Jian Ning. ,
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi just shook her head, and simply put this matter behind her.
When the time was almost up, Jian Xi had already had someone deliver the evening dress Mrs. Jian prepared for Qiao Xi to Qiao Xi.
Looking at the dress in front of her, Qiao Xi's eyes were filled with love.
It is a woman's nature to love beauty. Although she doesn't like the Jian family, Qiao Xi has to admit that the dresses prepared by Mrs. Jian are really stunningly beautiful.
There are not too many gorgeous decorations, just a simple fishtail dress, but the cutting on it is the most precise and beautiful arc, even if there are no extra decorations, the cutting of the skirt alone is enough Find someone to like.
And the hem of the skirt has been treated a lot, which is obviously a lot of effort.
The blue skirt is inlaid with blue and white crystals and diamonds. You can tell that it is expensive at first glance, but it doesn't look too heavy. With the flow of the veil, it looks like the surface of the sea when you wear it Like a rising wave, it flows with every footstep of Qiao Xi, making Qiao Xi look like an elf on the sea.
Coupled with Qiao Xi's current long beige hair, it also made Qiao Xi feel a little more unreal.
It doesn't need too much gorgeous makeup, just a light base makeup, Qiao Xi is already so beautiful that she can't take her eyes off.
The makeup artist on the side looked at Qiao Xi's face, holding the makeup brush in his hand, and didn't take it off for a long time, looking at Qiao Xi as if he had encountered some big problem.
Seeing the makeup artist's reaction, Jian Xi frowned slightly, and then asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay..." The makeup artist coughed twice in embarrassment, then took a deep breath, looked at Qiao Xi with a more complicated look in his eyes, and then said, "It's... Miss Qiao Xi's face Maybe there is no need for any retouching, and I even think that putting these makeup on her face is a kind of tarnish for her."
Listening to the makeup artist's words, Jian Xi frowned slightly, and looked towards Qiao Xi's face.
After meeting Qiao Xi's gaze, Jian Xi also fell silent.
It seems like what the makeup artist said, Qiao Xi's simple base makeup is enough now, and her already delicate facial features don't seem to need any modification at all, and her delicate and fair skin, as if she doesn't care about them Anything more is superfluous.
Pursing her lips, Jian Xi and the makeup artist beside her fell into silence.
It seems that there is really no need for any decoration.
People put on makeup to beautify and conceal blemishes, but now Qiao Xi doesn't seem to have such concerns at all.
Glancing at Qiao Xi, Jian Xi's mood suddenly became a lot more complicated, and finally she nodded slightly towards the makeup artist, and said, "Then let's do it, let her hair be done."
"Okay." The makeup artist responded, and continued to help Qiao Xi with her hair.
Makeup artists themselves are much more sensitive and obsessed with beauty than ordinary people. This also made her favor for Qiao Xi rise to the highest level. She can't wait to grow directly beside Qiao Xi and finish her hair. Afterwards, I couldn't bear to leave at all.
Qiao Xi's hair didn't go through too much grooming either, she just sorted out some frizzy hair and gently braided her temple hair, then reluctantly withdrew her hand.
Looking at the make-up artist who looked reluctant in the mirror, Qiao Xi's eyes immediately showed a bit of helplessness.
But I have to admit that the ability of the makeup artist can be said to be extremely high, at least in Qiao Xi's view, it has been so perfect that she can't find any dissatisfaction.
Lifting her skirt, Qiao Xi stood up and smiled slightly at the makeup artist in front of her, "Thank you for your hard work."
Meeting the smile on Qiao Xi's face, the make-up artist's expression froze immediately, and his mind seemed to froze for a few seconds.
In front of Qiao Xi's stunning face was a bit of a smile, and her clear eyes seemed to be soaked in starlight. They were so beautiful that people seemed to forget to breathe for a moment, which was too amazing.
Jian Xi on the side seemed calmer, but after a brief moment of stunned, she had recovered, and then saw the reaction of the makeup artist next to her, and finally felt a little balanced in her heart.
In any case, he was even less promising.
There was only a moment of panic, and the makeup artist immediately blushed, and said to Qiao Xi, "It's not hard, it's not hard! And Miss Qiao Xi, I didn't actually do anything, your foundation is too good, there is no Leave room for me to develop.”
While talking, the makeup artist scratched his hair in some embarrassment, with a helpless look on his face.
Looking at the makeup artist's appearance, Qiao Xi also had a faint smile in his eyes.
After another moment of pleasantries, Qiao Xi followed Jian Xi's lead and walked towards the bidding reception.
When she arrived, Qiao Xi was startled.
Unlike what she had imagined, the reception this time was not in a regular hall, but in an underground arena, which was completely beyond Qiao Xi's expectations.
All eyes followed Jian Xi who was on the side.
Meeting Qiao Xi's gaze, Jian Xi didn't look surprised at all, but slowly explained, "Before the banquet started, this was prepared by the old lady. Please enjoy it for a while."
While speaking, Jian Xi also directly led Qiao Xi towards where Qiao Xi should be.
After walking to her own position, Qiao Xi also thoroughly saw the surrounding layout.
It is indeed the same as an ordinary reception, except that the venue is placed underground, and there is an additional arena for gladiators.
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi looked at the scene in front of her, and the complicated emotions in her heart still couldn't be reduced by half.
Just as Qiao Xi was thinking vigorously, a man's voice sounded behind him, "It's just watching a show, I just want you to watch it here quietly, this is the fixed custom of the Jian family."
Following the direction of the voice, Qiao Xi also turned her gaze to the back, and saw the face she was already familiar with.
"Your customs are quite special." Qiao Xi said, just glanced at Jian Yuheng behind him, and then looked away.
Jian Yuheng didn't seem to care about Qiao Xi's attitude. He just nodded his head lightly, then turned his gaze back again, and continued, "In the beginning, the Jian family was bought from the black market. Status, so, this can be regarded as letting the younger generations remember how they got their current status, and let everyone remember the person who carried the burden for everyone in the past."
Qiao Xi listened to Jian Yuheng's words, her eyes flickered slightly, but in the end she didn't say anything more, she just pursed her lips and turned her gaze back to the venue in front of her.
Among other things, it seems that the current situation on the venue is more intense than she imagined.
I don't know when it started, in the arena, people who have already started to enter the competition.
Strong muscles, fierce eyes.
It even gives people a feeling... no longer a human being, but a beast.
Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Qiao Xi looked at the situation in front of her, and her face became a little ugly.
The scene in front of him also became more and more bloody, just like the most primitive kind of violence.
But the people around seemed to be very excited.
Regarding this phenomenon, Qiao Xi's brows were tightly frowned, and she even felt somewhat repulsive towards this place.
Paying attention to Qiao Xi's reaction, Jian Yuheng on the side also had a bit of playfulness in his eyes, then chuckled lightly, and said, "Why, Miss Qiao, can't you take it anymore?"
Listening to Jian Yuheng's words, Qiao Xi just glanced at him lightly and then withdrew her gaze. There was indifference and alienation in her clear eyes, too calm, and similarly, the emotion on her face was too cold.
Seeing Qiao Xi's attitude, Jian Yuheng's eyes changed slightly, and then he said, "I know you don't like this place."
As he spoke, Jian Yuheng paused slightly, and his tone became less careless and seemed more solemn, "I don't like it either."
