Chapter 478 The Old Lady's Attitude
Jian Ning still wanted to say something, but when she met the man's gaze, she finally swallowed her words abruptly.
Qiao Xi looked at the people behind her, with the corners of her eyes slightly twitched, and she became more convinced of her guess in her heart.
The man didn't pay any attention to Jian Ning whose face had become ugly behind him. On the contrary, when facing Qiao Xi, his attitude was unbelievably gentle. This kind of comparison made the expression on Jian Ning's face even more unbearable and embarrassing. Terrible.
Qiao Xi just glanced at the man indifferently, neither stopped nor opened his mouth, just let the man follow them, but before continuing, the door of the meeting place behind him was suddenly opened from the inside, followed by an old voice slowly It sounded, with a bit of a smile, but not a bit of kindness, but with a bit of sternness.
"Sir, since you are here, let me do my old lady a favor and ask Jian Ning to apologize to you." The old man walked towards the man while leaning on a cane as he spoke, his eyes just glanced at him coldly. Qiao Xi glanced at it, and then took it back. She didn't seem to have any feelings for Qiao Xi, and it could even be said that she didn't pay attention to Qiao Xi at all.
On the other hand, Jian Ning was not as good as Qiao Xi. Ever since the old man came out, he had even given her a stingy look.
After coming out from the old lady, Jian Ning directly restrained all the arrogance on her body, just lowered her head lightly, looking at her nose, nose and heart, as if she had changed in an instant.
Paying attention to Jian Ning's reaction, Qiao Xi's eyes also changed slightly, but it was only for a moment, and she also restrained herself, and just stood quietly by the side, looking at the two with great interest.
The man listened to the old lady's words, but just looked at her indifferently, without the respect of other people in his indifferent eyes, even with a bit of indifference, obviously he didn't take the old man so seriously.
Seeing the man's reaction, the old lady was slightly taken aback, and then her eyes were filled with a bit of embarrassment, but she restrained herself completely in just a moment.
It has to be said that as a person who has been in the circle for so many years, the old lady's wrist and emotional intelligence are much stronger than Jian Ning's.
"You asked me to give you face, but you gave me face?" The man said, his thin lips curled up in a cold arc, and the coldness in his eyes was not concealed at all, and the words were clearly annoyed .
Listening to the man's words, the old lady looked at Qiao Xi who was beside her. Looking at Qiao Xi who was beside her, the old lady frowned slightly, and then directly looked at Jian Ning beside her, coldly She said, "Jianning, apologize to Mr. X and Ms. Qiao."
Hearing the old lady's voice, Jian Ning was taken aback.
It would be understandable for her to apologize to a man, but now she is asked to apologize to Qiao Xi? !
If this apology really came, then what face would she have in this circle!It's like becoming the laughing stock of everyone!
Why! ?It's obviously just a bastard!
Thinking about it, Jian Ning clenched her fingers tightly, with obvious anger in her eyes, but she didn't say much, she just glared at Qiao Xi, and after a long time, she slowly released her fingers, He also walked in front of Qiao Xi, hung his head unwillingly, and said coldly, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't be so rude to you, let alone make things difficult for you. I hope you can forgive me."
As she said that, Jian Ning also bent her back deeply, almost directly into ninety degrees. Although her face was not reconciled, her posture was still in place.
It's not that she wants to do this, but now that the old lady is here, Jian Ning can't afford to think too much.
Thinking of this, Jian Ning looked at Qiao Xi with a bit of resentment in his eyes, and blamed Qiao Xi for this temporary mistake, without realizing at all that this incident was actually caused by her of.
Qiao Xi looked at Jian Ning who was apologizing towards her, with a calm expression on that delicate face, she didn't say forgiveness, and didn't continue to talk about embarrassment, she just looked at her indifferently, her eyes were too indifferent.
No one spoke, and Jian Ning couldn't get up for a while, just being so stalemate, with a humble posture, also let the arrogance in her heart torment her, making people go crazy!
Seeing Jian Ning's reaction, the old lady didn't have a trace of emotional fluctuations in her eyes, but slowly turned her gaze to the man in front of her, and said, "Jian Ning is young and ignorant, and she has already apologized Now, if you have any dissatisfaction with this matter, you can tell me, and our Jane family will definitely punish me severely, how about it, do you have any dissatisfaction?"
Hearing what the old lady said, the man just looked at Qiao Xi who was on the side lightly, then nodded slightly towards her, and said, "How about it, do you still want to go? After all, you have My invitation is also for embarrassing you, if there is any need, I am willing to make it up to you."
After finishing speaking, the man just slightly smiled at Qiao Xi.
The face covered by the mask makes it difficult to see his expression at this time, but the gentleness in his deep eyes and the upward curvature of the corners of his mouth can still be clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.
Qiao Xi listened to the man's words, and before she could open her mouth, Caroline on the side had already stretched out her hand to pull Qiao Xi's sleeve, her small face the size of a slap was full of vigilance.
Although she also felt that the man in front of her was helping them, the terrifying aura of the man still made her want to run away uncontrollably.
"Sister Qiao Xi..." Caroline tentatively called Qiao Xi, but just as the voice came out, the man in front of her had already turned her gaze to her.
The indifferent eyes were full of coldness, soaked in a bit of chill, although there was no malice, but the words that Caroline came to her mouth were swallowed abruptly, and the small face as big as a slap instantly looked aggrieved Awesome look.
Taking two steps back, Caroline stood behind Qiao Xi, like a frightened rabbit, with a vigilant face, but she wanted to look fierce, but she was completely fierce in the eyes of others. Fierce.
Qiao Xi looked at Caroline next to him, with a helpless smile in his eyes, then he rubbed his hair with his hands, his red lips parted slightly, and he shook his head slightly at her, "It's okay, trust me."
As she said that, Qiao Xi also turned her gaze to the man in front of her, and then her lips parted into a slight smile, "Of course, please give me your advice."
After the words fell, Qiao Xi ignored Jian Ning, who was still bent over beside her, and turned her gaze directly to the old lady in front of her, and smiled slightly at her, "Old lady Jian, it's just that someone asked me to come to Jian's house and said It's an invitation from your Jane's family, and I don't plan to attend your birthday banquet, so please bear with me if there is no gift."
Qiao Xi's words were generous, but she directly slapped the old lady in the face.
I came to your birthday banquet, but now I am so blatant that I don't want to give you a gift, but you can't find any faults with me, you say, are you angry?
Qiao Xi didn't know if the old lady was angry or not, but the people around had already sensed the anger in the old lady's heart, and gradually started talking about it for a while.
After all, Qiao Xi's appearance here is already strange enough.
Coupled with the previous conflict between Qiao Xi and Jian Ning, it's not even difficult for people to connect these things with Jian Ning.
It would be reasonable to say that Jian Ning did all of this to suppress Qiao Xi.
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi suppressed the emotions in her heart, looked at the man beside her, nodded her head lightly, and after signaling for a while, she turned her gaze to the old lady's company again. Sang, with her red lips slightly parted, said slowly, "But I still wish you a happy birthday."
After finishing speaking, Qiao Xi directly took Caroline's wrist, and led the people towards the venue.
The actions of the two also made the people around them click their tongues secretly.
The man looked at Qiao Xi's leaving back, raised the corners of his eyes slightly, and then his emotions eased a little. He also looked at the old lady, and then opened his red lips lightly, and said slowly, "Happy birthday."
After the words fell, the man completely ignored the old lady's reaction and walked into the venue.
It was obviously the old lady's birthday banquet, but in front of the two of them, it was as if they had nothing to do with the old lady. This kind of contempt made the old lady's face even more gloomy.
After all the people around had left, Jian Ning tentatively spoke to the old lady beside her, "Grandmother, I..."
"Shut up!" The old lady gave Jian Ning a cold look, apparently she had put all her anger on Jian Ning, then snorted coldly, turned around and left, "It's more than failure!"
Listening to the old lady's words, Jian Ning lowered her head deeply, and clenched the fingers beside her tightly, the nails were gradually inserted into the palm of her hand because of anger, and she didn't know it.
Thinking of the man's protection of Qiao Xi just now, Jian Ning only felt that the jealousy in her heart had started to burn wantonly, and the burning caused her whole heart to be covered with a thick layer of low pressure, making people afraid to approach her. .
Waiting until everyone around had entered the venue, Jian Ning slowly raised her head, looked at the direction of Qiao Xi and Caroline behind her, her black eyes flickered slightly, and followed with a layer of faint hostility.
It took only a moment for the best to smile, and the anger on Jian Ning's face was replaced by a meaningful smile, which made people feel chilling.
At this time, Qiao Xi and Caroline had also walked into the venue. They were not familiar with the people around them, but they just stood quietly by the side, as if they were completely uninterested in the surroundings.
The man just now seemed to have no interaction with Qiao Xi since he first came in. It seemed that, as he said, it was just to make up for them, and he had no intention of continuing to have a deep friendship.
Qiao Xi glanced in the man's direction, her clear eyes flickered slightly, then she retracted her gaze, and took a sip of the wine in the glass lightly, a little distracted.
