Gu Zheng frowned and secretly clenched his fists.

Hah! It turned out that this was what Mrs. Gu thought of him in her heart.

Gu Zheng said casually, “I’ll send you there.”

Qiao Xi sat on the sofa beside him and said slowly, “Wait a little longer.”

…

At eight in the evening.

The students had all arrived at the Qiao family’s house, but the main character of the party was not here yet. Qiao Rou stomped her feet anxiously. “Is Sister not coming?”

Xu Mei sighed. “I think Xi Xi must have something urgent to attend to, so she couldn’t arrive in time. She didn’t mean for everyone to wait.”

Everyone frowned and complained, “Qiao Xi is really rude! She invited us to partic.i.p.ate in the banquet but she’s late herself.”

Qiao Rou bit her lip and advised softly, “Don’t be anxious. My sister will definitely come. Let’s wait a little longer…”

A student snorted. “As the Qiao family’s eldest daughter, she doesn’t know any etiquette at all. It’s indeed different to have grown up in the countryside!”

“Rou Rou, don’t defend her. She won’t appreciate your kindness at all.”

Qiao Rou’s face turned red. “Don’t say that. She definitely isn’t doing it on purpose. Let me explain…”

Bang!

Someone slammed the wine gla.s.s down, causing the alcohol to spill onto the table.

Xu Mei’s eyes turned cold. Who was so insensible to not give Rou Rou face? When she saw that the other party was Xue Yi, she could only swallow her words.

Behind Xue Yi was the Xue family of the capital, so she naturally did not dare to offend them. Furthermore, Xue Yi was a musical genius herself. Li City University had invited her to join them so that she could bring honor to the university back then.

Qiao Rou invited her over because of her special ident.i.ty. With her around, it would be easier to deal with Qiao Xi. Then, she would not have to be afraid of Qin An anymore.

Hence, Xu Mei could only smile and did not dare to say anything bad to Xue Yi.

Qiao Rou was stunned for a moment. Xue Yi and Xue Liang were both surnamed Xue. Could it be that both of them shared a relations.h.i.+p?

No, impossible!

Xue Yi was from the Xue family in the capital, while Xue Liang had always been overseas. It should be a coincidence and they shouldn’t be related at all!

Everyone was silent. Xue Yi said slowly, “This gla.s.s is nice.”

Qiao Zhenguo had a smile on his face. He did not expect that the gla.s.s would catch Xue Yi’s eye. He said obsequiously, “This gla.s.s was bought by me for 500,000 yuan. The gla.s.s in your hand matches the gla.s.s in Rou Rou’s hand.”

Xu Mei smiled and said, “Yes, this was my birthday gift from Zhenguo 20 years ago. I thought that since we were having important guests today, I should bring them out.”

Everyone sighed. The Qiao couple was really loving. They bought a pair of gla.s.ses for 500,000 yuan. It was really too extravagant.

Unexpectedly, Xue Yi said indifferently, “This white porcelain is exquisitely carved and has a clear color. It’s indeed worth 500,000 yuan. However, President Qiao didn’t have a family business to run 20 years ago, so how could you afford such expensive gla.s.ses?”

“…”

The venue was silent.

Xue Yi looked calm and said indifferently, “I think the gla.s.ses must be a treasure previously bid by Qiao Xi’s mother, President Qiao’s first wife, right? Since you still have these gla.s.ses, it means that President Qiao is still thinking about his first wife. How loyal!”

…

Everyone looked awkward and could not help but look at Xu Mei.

She remembered that Xu Mei had just said that these gla.s.ses were a birthday gift from Qiao Zhenguo.

The people who attended the banquet were all ordinary students. Be it the Qiao family or Xue Yi, they did not dare to offend either of them. Hence, they lowered their heads and drank their beverages, not daring to say a word.

Qiao Zhenguo hurriedly looked at Old Madam Qiao. The old woman was, after all, a wily old woman. She sighed softly. “I’m old and my body can’t take it anymore. Why isn’t Xi Xi back yet? We agreed to meet at 7: 30 pm. It’s already past 8 pm, but she’s still nowhere to be seen…”

Old Madam Qiao targeted Qiao Xi with her words.

Qiao Rou’s eyes lit up. It did not matter whose gla.s.ses they were. The important thing was why Qiao Xi had not appeared yet. Letting a group of people wait for her was really rude!

Old Madam Qiao was helpless.. “Looks like Xi Xi still blames me… Sigh! Zhenguo called to beg her. I thought she would come back, but judging from the situation, it’s hard to say…”
