Chapter 242 Jiang Xun, let you be proud for a while!
Chapter 242 Jiang Xun, let you be proud for a while!
Seeing Jiang Qianxun smile sarcastically, ignoring him and continuing to play Candy Crush on his phone, Qin Chuan, who had nothing to say, felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar and his whole body was in pain.
But he couldn't do anything to Jiang Qianxun, because he had used her in that way before, and now he and Zhao Xi were involved in rumors, and he himself felt insecure.
Unless, as Huang Xiaoxiao said, Zhao Xi is not pregnant with his child, Jiang Qianxun can accept him again.
Or maybe... just like what my mother said tonight, Zhao Xi really had an affair with another man two years ago, just like the previous rumors said...
But as soon as this absurd thought flashed through his mind, Qin Chuan quickly denied it.
How is it possible? Even though he no longer had any feelings for Zhao Xi, he still believed that Zhao Xi would not deceive him in this matter.
The only thing he could do was to let Zhao Xi give up the child.
This child is a real time bomb for both Qin and him.
Qin Chuan was thinking about how to deal with the child, how to deal with Zhao Xi, and how to win back Jiang Qianxun.
He just sat next to Jiang Qianxun, speechless for a while.
A few seats away, Zhao Xi couldn't hear what Qin Chuan and Jiang Qianxun were saying. She only saw their profiles and whispers. But based on this alone, she automatically imagined Qin Chuan looking at Jiang Qianxun affectionately, and her heart ached.
At the same time, on the second floor behind the last row of seats in the main venue, old man Xing Yongguo and his wife, Xie Qiong and his wife, and Huang Jingyi and his wife were chatting in Chinese with a foreign man.
Old lady Su Heli is over here.
Huang Xiaoxiao was wearing a white dress and sitting appropriately next to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at her mobile phone.
I don’t know what she saw, but she, who is usually quiet, had an obvious smile on her face.
When she got tired of watching, she put down her phone and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the people in the huge main venue in front of her.
He seemed totally uninterested in the lively conversation going on behind him.
In fact, Xie Qiong was not interested either, but out of respect, she had to sit down and listen carefully.
But in my heart, I was only thinking about when I could go find Jiang Qianxun.
After all, the cooperation between BG jewelry brand and Xing family has nothing to do with the female members of the family.
The CEO is also looking for his son Xing Mingyu tonight.
It’s just that my son hasn’t been there, so as tonight’s partner, the Xing family has to accompany him out of courtesy. Actually, it doesn’t matter if they don’t accompany him. If they can cooperate with the Xing family, even if it’s just a little bit, it’s a profit for the brand.
The Huang family and the Xing family have always had a good relationship, and their scholarly family does not want to get involved in things like walking on the red carpet.
As soon as they arrived, they went up to the second floor through the side door and waited.
Huang Jingyi comes from a family of architects. Architecture and jewelry have similarities in patterns and composition in design. The CEO was very interested, so they sat down to discuss.
But we talked for too long today.
Xie Qiong was absent-minded. When the CEO lowered his head to drink tea, she lost her focus for a while and her eyes inadvertently drifted to Huang Xiaoxiao next to her.
Seeing Huang Xiaoxiao looking fixedly in the direction of the main venue on the first floor opposite, she followed her line of sight and unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Jiang Qianxun sat there quietly.
Xie Qiong's eyes lit up.
However, when she saw Qin Chuan sitting next to Jiang Qianxun, her eyes no longer lit up!
Why are they sitting together?
On Xie Qiong's right, Old Madam Xing was also sipping tea. She noticed something strange about her daughter-in-law and looked over with her sharp eyes.
We also discovered two people who shouldn’t be sitting together in the first row of the main venue.
He paused holding the teacup and could no longer sit still.
Putting down the teacup, Madam Xing immediately stood up and looked down at her watch.
"I think it's about time, Mr. Jones, old man, we should get ready."
The old lady was efficient and ended the conversation directly without even making excuses.
When his wife spoke, how could Mr. Xing disobey? He immediately told his son Xing Qizhang to take Mr. Jones downstairs to prepare. He then stood up and called Huang Xiaoxiao, who was looking down at her phone across from him.
"Xiaoxiao, let's go."
Jian Shulin and his wife also stood up.
However, Huang Xiaoxiao did not react for a moment.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you looking at?" The majestic old man Xing, who was wearing a black Zhongshan suit, spoke again.
Huang Xiaoxiao heard the sound and turned back quickly.
With a smile on his face that he hadn't had time to hide, he said, "Ah? Grandpa Xing, you called me? Are you ready to go out? Here I come."
Seeing that everyone had stood up, Huang Xiaoxiao quickly put away her phone and came over wearing a graceful X-shaped white dress.
Old Master Xing's eyes were sharp, but also kind: "Xiaoxiao, what were you looking at just now? Why were you so absorbed in it?"
"Just checking the live news, Grandpa, let me help you walk."
Old Master Xing looked at Huang Xiaoxiao's concealed smile and could tell at a glance that she was not telling the truth.
But when he thought that the child was finally smiling and not as depressed as he was during the last meal, he felt relieved.
It seems that it was right to bring her here to be my grandson's companion this time, but why hasn't my grandson come yet?
"Okay. By the way, where's Ming Yu? Why hasn't he arrived yet for the opening?"
As soon as Mrs. Xing heard what her husband said, she knew what he was going to do.
He exchanged a glance with Xie Qiong, and handed his hand to his daughter-in-law for support: "I don't know. He didn't answer my call."
Xie Qiong said, "Dad, you don't know Ming Yu yet. He is always busy, so it is possible that he won't come. Let's go down first."
Huang Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie. But I saw it spread among the socialite circles. Ming Yu said he would come and even booked a female companion."
Xie Qiong smiled in her heart, but remained calm on the surface: "Really? But it's rush hour at this time, and even if I come, I probably won't be able to participate in the charity auction and donation."
Jian Shulin and her husband looked at each other and nodded: "I remember Ming Yu usually doesn't come to the party, but it's not bad that he came tonight."
After hearing this, Mr. Xing became displeased and coughed twice in a hurry!
Huang Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Qiong seriously for a while, and then saw that Grandpa Xing's face looked a little strange. She thought about it and quickly patted Grandpa Xing on the back.
"Grandpa Xing, are you okay? How about I stay here with you to rest for a while? Then go to the dinner later? It's been cold recently, and you seem to be coughing more than usual. There are too many people in the venue, so the air is bound to be bad. It will be uncomfortable for you to go there."
Old Master Xing didn't know his grandson's temperament. Thinking about how boring the auction would be, he was afraid that Huang Xiaoxiao would get bored. He nodded and said, "Okay. The charity auction is boring too. Xiaoxiao and I can just watch it here. You guys go ahead."
Huang Jingyi saw the old man coughing and immediately said, "Uncle Xing, I don't like staying at the charity auction either. I'll accompany you and Xiaoxiao. Shulin, can you go in my place?"
When she heard that her husband was not going, Jane Shulin frowned and thought about going together.
Since the last time I met Jiang Qianxun in the century-old store, she has become more and more friendly. Recently, even though she continues to receive news that her little daughter cannot be found, it is amazing that she is not as painful as before.
So, when Xie Qiong told her that Jiang Qianxun would also come tonight, she selfishly wanted to bring her husband to meet her.
Even though she knew that it was not her daughter, the appearance of someone who looked like her little daughter should be able to ease the pain of missing her daughter.
Just like her.
But when she saw that Huang Jingyi and his adopted daughter Huang Xiaoxiao had already helped Old Man Xing sit down, she thought about it and decided to give up. There would be plenty of opportunities tonight, so she would talk about it later.
Jian Shulin said yes. At this time, Su He had already brought up the gifts from the charity auction with her servants.
Jian Shulin and Xie Qiong reached out to take it.
Old Madam Xing was so anxious about her future granddaughter-in-law that she didn't bother to care who went and who didn't, and went straight downstairs to the main venue.
The staircase to the second floor is just behind the main venue.
Two minutes later, Xie Qiong appeared in a simple off-white dress, emerald earrings, ring and necklace.
Jian Shulin, who was wearing a simple yet artistic black low-key dress, appeared on the scene, supporting Madam Xing on both sides, and immediately became the focus of the whole audience.
There were also wealthy people who took the opportunity to come and chat, but they were stopped by the bodyguards: "Sorry, the party is about to start, please keep your distance from the old lady."
The rich man then stood there regretfully, watching Madam Xing leave.
Madam Xing was anxious about Jiang Qianxun and had no time to care about these things. She led her people to the first row and stopped directly in front of Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan is a young man who grew up under the care of two elders. Until a while ago when the Qin family of three broke into the courtyard, Qin Chuan was treated almost the same as his own family members in the Xing family.
Especially Madam Xing, who doted on Qin Chuan when he was a child.
Because the Xing family had no granddaughter, and Qin Chuan looked much more feminine than Xing Mingyu, when he first went to the Xing family at the age of three, his grandmother planned to adopt him as her granddaughter.
Later, I saw that it was a boy with a penis! I couldn't recognize my granddaughter, but we still had a good relationship.
But that was in the past. Now, although the relationship between the two families is still there, when it does not involve Jiang Qianxun, the feelings remain unchanged.
But when it comes to Jiang Qianxun, it’s different.
Qin Chuan too.
So, when Qin Chuan saw Madam Xing standing in front of him, he immediately came back to his senses: "Grandma, you are here."
He said hello, but didn't mean to stand up.
When Jiang Qianxun saw her grandmother coming with Xie Qiong and Jian Shulin, she quickly stood up and greeted them: "Grandma, Aunt Xie, Misha."
Xie Qiong and Jian Shulin both liked Jiang Qianxun very much, and seeing this, they smiled at her.
Madam Xing reached out and held Jiang Qianxun's hand as she stood up to greet him. Then she looked at Qin Chuan with a smile on her face, but her smile was not real: "Ah Chuan, to the left of Qianxun is grandma's seat, and to the right is your aunt Xie's seat, please make way."
But Qin Chuan didn't want to sit separately from Jiang Qianxun.
He sat expressionless, his beautiful black eyes fearlessly staring at Old Madam Xing: "Grandma, you are usually a low-key person and never sit in the center seat."
Qin Chuan is telling the truth.
This was not the first time he attended a charity banquet hosted by the Xing family, so he certainly knew the seats of the two elders.
Logically, he should give up his seat, but the Xing family is low-key and they always sat on the left side of the C position in the past. Xing Mingyu sat in the C position, so he would not lose his status and could also keep a low profile.
"Usually it's usually, but now is now." Old Madam Xing said with a double meaning, "Now grandma wants to sit down."
The implication was that, except for Jian Shulin who didn't quite understand and felt that Qin Chuan was lacking in courtesy, Xie Qiong and Jiang Qianxun both knew what he meant.
When Xie Qiong saw that Qin Chuan did not give up his seat, she looked a little unhappy, while Jian Shulin felt that Qin Chuan was a little ignorant of etiquette.
However, this scene, in the eyes of the people present, became a symbol of friendship between the Qin family and the Xing family. Everyone was smiling, and it was just like the two families were chatting.
Even if the people sitting in the second row heard their conversation, they would think it was just the juniors and seniors playing around.
Qin Chuan knew what Madam Xing meant, so he couldn't give in.
Jiang Qianxun ignoring him was already depressing enough for him. If Xing Mingyu's family launched another "offensive" against Jiang Qianxun, he would have even less chance.
However, although he didn't give up his seat, he still had to maintain his dignity on the surface: "Grandma, how about you let me have my seat this time?"
"How can we let such a thing happen?" Old Madam Xing didn't waste any words and continued with her double entendre.
