C145 The Limelight
Su Xiaoxiao looked around with her big eyes.
She noticed that Old Master Qi was talking to an old man who was about the same age as them. Beside the old lady sat some women of different ages.
Su Haisheng and Deng Wan were standing together and talking to someone they knew.
Su Xiaoxiao keenly noticed that although the two of them stood together and had smiles on their faces, their bodies did not come into contact with each other. There was even a slight sense of alienation.
It seemed that they enjoyed the "gift" that she had given them.
Qi Hanyi was dressed in a dark blue striped formal attire. Beside him stood Su Miaomiao who was dressed in formal attire.
The two of them were standing at the side, greeting the guests who had just arrived.
Su Miaomiao had a sweet smile on her face, and her eyes were always looking at Old Master Qi.
She guessed that Su Miaomiao should have just received a cold shoulder from Old Master Qi.
Otherwise, with her personality of showing off, she would have long moved to the old man's side and pretended to be obedient and docile.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered her wonderful performance in Qi family's villa and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
This younger sister of hers was very outstanding in all aspects. It was just that her personality was impetuous and could not withstand the stimulation.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately shouted in Old Master Qi's direction, "Grandfather! Grandmother!"
The people who were chatting here all gathered together and whispered. Su Xiaoxiao's voice was not soft, and the conversation gradually stopped.
Old Master Qi and the old lady looked at Su Xiaoxiao and their smiles immediately widened.
"Xiaoxiao!"
They walked over to Su Xiaoxiao and sized her up.
Su Xiaoxiao let go of Qi Jincheng and naturally held Old Master Qi's arm. She shook left and right like a spoiled child. "Grandfather, Grandmother, Xiaoxiao missed you guys. She wanted to see you guys a long time ago!"
The Qi family grandmother's eyes were gentle. After she sized Su Xiaoxiao up, she praised gently, "Our Xiaoxiao is really beautiful today, like a princess!"
Old Master Qi also could not help but praise, "Xiaoxiao is really more beautiful day by day!"
The surrounding guests all carefully observed the attitude of the two elders of Qi family. Seeing that they were very kind to Su Xiaoxiao, they also praised her.
"Master Young Master Qi is really lucky. Miss Su is very beautiful, even more beautiful than the celebrities on TV!"
"Miss Su's figure and appearance are all the same. She looks a bit like Mrs. Deng!"
Su Xiaoxiao was the daughter of Su Haisheng's ex-wife and had nothing to do with Deng Wan.
In the face of this exaggerated flattery, the smile on Deng Wan's face gradually could not hang up.
On the other hand, Su Haisheng subconsciously looked at Deng Wan.
A trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.
In the past, when he was with Deng Wan, she had said bad things about Lan Yan. She had simply belittled her to nothing.
Ever since the video incident began, Su Haisheng actually began to reminisce about Lan Yan's good deeds.
In his view, when he was with Lan Yan, other than the fact that there was no relationship between the two of them, there was nothing wrong with it.
At the very least, Lan Yan did her duty of being a good wife. When she appeared in front of people, she always had the image of a perfect wife. Even her peers praised her.
After Deng Wan married into the Su family, not only was she unable to help him in his career, but she also thought of ways to get more.
Therefore, when he looked at Su Xiaoxiao, his eyes could not help but have a nostalgic look.
Su Xiaoxiao did not pay attention to Su Haisheng.
Facing the praises from everyone, she put on a shy expression and held Qi Jincheng's arm.
"Alright, almost everyone is here."
Old Master Qi looked to the left and right and said with a smile, "Let's not waste any more time. Call someone to serve the dishes."
Everyone sat down.
Su Xiaoxiao and Qi Jincheng sat beside the old man, while Qi Hanyi could only sit beside Su Xiaoxiao.
Although he had helped a lot in Qi's Enterprise, his identity could not be changed.
Just like his mother, she had never had the chance to enter Qi family's old residence. After her father passed away, she was sent to the biggest mental hospital in Binhai.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not save her.
Qi Hanyi had an official smile on his face, but Su Miaomiao's smile was stiff.
The more Old Master Qi liked Su Xiaoxiao and expressed his love regardless of the occasion, the more she hated her.
She was almost the first person to arrive with Qi Hanyi.
They stood at the door and treated the guests for the Qi family.
When Old Master Qi arrived, she immediately went up to him to express her goodwill, but the two old men from the Qi family didn't show any good expression.
He even blamed Qi Hanyi in front of everyone, saying that Su Miaomiao did not behave like a young lady of a noble family, which made her lose face.
Even Qi Hanyi's face looked a little awkward, and he glared at her fiercely.
Because of this, Su Miaomiao did not dare to speak anymore. She just stood obediently beside Qi Hanyi with a signature smile on her face.
Although Qi Jincheng and Su Xiaoxiao were the main characters of this banquet, after a simple praise, the topic on the table inevitably fell on business cooperation.
Old Master Qi gently tried to get close to others. It seemed like he was talking about his glorious past, but in fact, he was persuading them to cooperate with Qi's in business.
When it came to business matters, Qi Hanyi started to talk more.
He talked leisurely at the dinner table and successfully got the business cards of the two old men.
When Old Master Qi saw this scene, a gratified expression appeared on his face.
On the other hand, Qi Jincheng seemed to have no interest in these things at all. He just lowered his head to savor the wine or to take care of Su Xiaoxiao and eat wildly.
He was indifferent to the guests the whole time, and from time to time, he helped Su Xiaoxiao wipe the leftovers from her mouth.
He made his reputation as a dissolute person known.
Every time Old Master Qi saw him, he could not help but sigh.
There was even a hint of regret in his eyes.
After eating and drinking, Su Xiaoxiao's eating speed also gradually slowed down.1
She gently pulled Qi Jincheng's sleeve. When he looked over, she whispered to him, "Beautiful brother, Xiaoxiao wants to go there to eat pastries."
Although there was a lot of food on the table, it was all some dishes.
On the other side of the rooftop, there was a long table.
There were many exquisite desserts and beautiful red wine on the table.
Su Xiaoxiao had already seen that place a long time ago. She just wanted to cooperate with the two elders of the Qi family and did not immediately go over.
Qi Jincheng followed Su Xiaoxiao's gaze and also looked over there.
After that, he nodded slightly, stood up, and walked over with Su Xiaoxiao.
He did not greet anyone and left directly. This made the two elders feel very embarrassed.
Qi Jincheng, on the other hand, smiled and helped his brother out of the predicament. "My brother and Miss Su have a very good relationship. He has never cared about small matters. Everyone, don't mind him."
