Chapter 880 Brother Quan Doesn’t Like Such Events
Chi Jiao was surprised by the little heart’s reaction.
Although she also found Sheng Qian’s aura completely different from before, she was not as resistant as the little heart.
“If we leave this place now, it will look very suspicious. Bear with it for a while. I’ll give you a strawberry cake later, okay?” Chi Jiao didn’t make a sound. Instead, she communicated with the little heart using her mind.
“Do you think a strawberry cake can buy me off?” The little heart retorted. “It needs to be at least two slices!”
Chi Jiao couldn’t help chuckling at the little heart’s gluttony. “Alright, two slices. Bear with it a little longer.”
She Qi also sensed the little heart’s presence. He kept glancing at the pendant from the corner of his eye as if he wanted to see what it was.
“Grandpa, Mr. Tang from the Tang family was looking for you. Do you want to go over and take a look?” She Qi looked at Sheng Tianmao and reminded him with a smile.
“Is that so? Old Tang is here too? I will go over and greet him. Miss Chi Jiao, this is my grandson, Sheng Qian. Ah Qian, Miss Chi Jiao is young and promising. You have to ask her for advice. I’ll go entertain the other guests first. Ah Qian, take good care of Miss Chi Jiao.” With that, Sheng Tianmao quickened his pace to meet his friend.
“Jiaojiao, long time no see.” Ruan Xiaoxiao hugged Sheng Qian’s arm in a showy manner and teased her. “Jiaojiao, aren’t you on good terms with Quan Jue? Why didn’t he come with you to such a grand banquet? Did you two fight?”
Chi Jiao gave her a perfunctory reply. “Brother Quan has never liked such events. Besides, my female date isn’t inferior to others.”
Yan Qingqing smiled charmingly. After Chi Jiao finished speaking, Yan Qingqing took the initiative to step forward and gently held onto her arm. Yan Qingqing was deliberately copying Ruan Xiaoxiao, but her actions were even more charming. Even so, Yan Qingqing didn’t say anything to Ruan Xiaoxiao. Instead, she turned to look at She Qi and smiled. “I’ve heard that Young Master Sheng Qian is very capable. The girls around him are each prettier than the other. But today, I see that Young Master Sheng Qian still has Miss Ruan with him. It’s obvious that the rumors can’t be trusted.”
Ruan Xiaoxiao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She looked at her and then at Chi Jiao. Seeing that they were both gorgeous, she felt humiliated. “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I’m ugly?”
Yan Qingqing didn’t answer her directly. Instead, she pulled Chi Jiao closer. “Is there a need for me to explain? Could it be that Miss Ruan’s family can’t afford mirrors? To let her take a look at her face?”
Yan Qingqing looked like she was whispering to Chi Jiao, but her voice was not soft at all. Her alluring voice echoed in the air, not hiding from Ruan Xiaoxiao at all.
Ruan Xiaoxiao was furious. “Hmph, the standards of these banquets are getting lower and lower. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can attend!”
“That’s right. How else could I see you at this banquet?” Chi Jiao smiled and turned to Yan Qingqing. “Qingqing, Miss Ruan seems to look down on the Yan family. I wonder how Brother Chen will react when he hears this?”
“Brother Chen… you mean Yan Zhengchen?” Ruan Xiaoxiao’s smile instantly stiffened.
