Chapter 467 The Masked Good Girl Mistakenly Flirts with the Playboy Man 31
Xie Yanci's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the air around them seemed to freeze. He stared at Ji Yanru, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was low and cold: "Miss Ji, there are some things that you'd better think about before you say them." There was an obvious warning in his tone, as if reminding her not to cross the line.
Ji Yanru didn't care. She took a sip of the champagne in her hand, smiling, with a bit of provocation in her eyes: "Master Xie, I'm just giving you a kind reminder. After all, not everyone can afford to play this game, like a little beauty like Miss Lin!" Her voice was gentle, but every word was like a knife, piercing Xie Yanci's soft spot.
Xie Yanci did not respond and turned away, his back revealing a bit of sternness. His steps were firm, as if he was deliberately suppressing his inner emotions. Ji Yanru stood there, following his back with a meaningful light in her eyes. The corners of her lips rose slightly, as if everything was under her control.
At the other end of the banquet hall, Lin Yi watched all this quietly, her brows slightly furrowed. The brief conversation between Xie Yanci and her just now was obviously heard by Ji Yanru.
Lin Yi sensed a hint of danger in Ji Yanru's eyes. She was definitely interested in Xie Yanci, but what puzzled Lin Yi was why a strong woman like Ji Yanru would be interested in a "peacock" like Xie Yanci?
Lin Yi felt uneasy. She wished she could find Tang Yuan to find out what was going on. Unfortunately, Tang Yuan had fallen into a deep sleep a day ago, saying that he was absorbing and digesting the energy in the jadeite. Lin Yi could only face the situation alone, secretly thinking about the next countermeasures.
At this time, the MC announced that Mr. Xie's birthday banquet had officially begun. The five children and grandchildren of the Xie family gathered around Mr. Xie, and the scene was very lively. Mr. Xie smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, with a kind face. He stood on the stage and gave a loud speech, thanking the guests for coming. After the speech, the children and grandchildren began to present gifts. Each gift was carefully prepared, causing an uproar among the guests.
Xie Yanci did not show his usual cynicism this time, but appeared particularly solemn. His gift was an ancient painting, and when Mr. Xie took it, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes. Obviously, Xie Yanci still had some father-son feelings for Mr. Xie.
After the most solemn part, the banquet entered the time of free communication. Guests gathered in groups of three or five, making connections and discussing business, and the banquet hall was filled with laughter. Lin Yi stood alone, his eyes wandering, and seemed a little absent-minded.
"Why are you in a daze alone? No one you know?" A cold female voice broke Lin Yi's calm. She raised her eyes and saw a face that looked a bit like Xie Yanci. She asked tentatively, "Are you Miss Xie Yanrui?"
The woman nodded and looked Lin Yi up and down with some admiration in her eyes: "It's a pity that such a beauty is paired with that scumbag Xie Huaili. She should be my little brother!" Her tone was straightforward and she did not hide her admiration for Lin Yi at all.
Lin Yi's eyes widened, looking at Xie Yanrui in disbelief. This young lady really never stops talking until she shocks someone! She secretly complained in her heart, how could Xie Yanci, such a big mouth, tell everything to her sister?
Seeing Lin Yi's surprise, Xie Yanrui chuckled: "You two have already done it, I just said it, is there any need to be so surprised?" Her tone was relaxed, as if she was talking about something very ordinary.
Lin Yi was so upset that her face turned red. She didn't expect Xie Yanrui to be so straightforward, and she felt embarrassed and helpless.
At this time, Xie Yanci finally finished his socializing with Mr. Xie and was looking for Lin Yi and Xie Yanrui. Ji Yanru's words just now made him feel uneasy, so he asked his sister to look after Lin Yi. At this time, Xie Huaili was also looking for Lin Yi. He had already boasted in front of his friends that he was determined to get Lin Yi today and would never allow himself to lose face.
Xie Yanci and Xie Huaili saw Lin Yi's figure almost at the same time. The two men came from different directions, with firm steps and the same goal. The two tall and handsome men walked in the same direction at the same time, instantly attracting the attention of the onlookers. The guests whispered, wondering who was so lucky to be favored by the two great gods of the Xie family.
When the two stopped in front of Lin Yi and Xie Yanrui, the discussion around them became more heated. Everyone was guessing about Lin Yi's identity.
"Who is that woman? How could she be surrounded by the three great gods of the Xie family?"
"She seems to be Master Xie's fiancée, a famous good girl in Kyoto, and the daughter of the Lin family!"
"That must be Young Master Xie's designated fiancée. No wonder she is treated this way!"
……
When Lin Jiao heard the discussion, she clutched her skirt tightly with both hands, her face twisted with jealousy. She stared at Lin Yi unwillingly, her heart full of resentment. At this moment, a waiter walked up to Lin Jiao and said respectfully, "Miss Lin, Master Xie invites you to his room."
Lin Jiao was flattered and overjoyed. Her outfit today really caught Xie Huaili's attention. So, like a victorious fighting cock, she held her head high, glanced contemptuously in Lin Yi's direction, and left with the waiter.
Xie Huaili walked up to Lin Yi, respectfully called Xie Yanrui "Aunt", and then said to Lin Yi: "Yiyi, I haven't had the chance before, today I will take you to the old house for a good look around." His tone was gentle, but there was a hint of strength in his eyes that could not be refused.
Lin Yi sneered in her heart. She knew exactly what Xie Huaili was thinking. She looked at Xie Huaili awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Huaili, my aunt and I hit it off right away. I want to chat with her for a while. Let's visit the old house next time."
Xie Huaili's face suddenly turned ugly. Lin Yi had refused to be alone with him many times, how could he, who was always proud, tolerate this? He was about to explode, but met Xie Yanrui's sharp eyes and was instantly silenced. Although this young lady was not often at home, she had a perverse temper, and Xie Huaili was really a bit scared. He stood here, facing three people, none of whom he liked, so he had to leave in disgrace.
Xie Huaili drank several glasses of wine in a row. Because he drank too much, his head began to feel dizzy. At this time, the waiter who had just invited Lin Jiao came over and whispered in his ear: "Master, Miss Lin is already waiting for you in the room."
Xie Huaili suddenly remembered that he had instructed the waiter to invite Lin Yi to her room after the important part of the birthday banquet. Thinking of this, he snorted disdainfully: "You just pretended to be noble and rejected me, but now you are waiting for me in bed obediently?" A fire suddenly ignited in his heart, and he strode towards his room.
