C1681 Envy and Heartache

Jiang Ci ignored him. His gaze fell on Shi Qian's face, his eyes deep.

When the two of them got closer, he asked, What is it?" Oh right, what's the matter with Lu Yunran and Shaang Sizhan?"

Shi Qian sat by the side and answered languidly, "Business competition."

"Business competition?!" Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows and said," Why do I feel like Lu Yunran is deliberately provoking me? Rumor has it that his water park project was tampered with by Shaang Sizhan, right?"

Shi Qian leaned against the back of the sofa and lazily replied, "He said that because he did not investigate the project at all and wanted to cover up his responsibility."

Huo Fei suddenly said, "But when he took the project, Master Zhan did deliberately raise the price."

Shi Qian said, "One yard is one yard. Although Master Zhan raised the price of the project, he definitely did not tamper with the project. Lu Yunran is not worth it for him to do it."

Huo Fei snorted. "Lu Yunran only dared to be so arrogant because he took advantage of the Qingyan family in Ninth Continent."

Shi Qian smiled and did not say anything. She looked lazy.

They chatted for a while. She looked at the time. It was already 10: 40. She picked up her phone and called Shaang Sizhan again.

"Are you there?"

"I just arrived. I'm downstairs."

"Oh, then I'll go downstairs now."

After hanging up the phone, Shi Qian stood up and said languidly, "You guys go ahead and play. I'll go back first."

Huo Fei said, "Why are you leaving so early?"

Shi Qian said, "It is almost eleven o'clock. I am a little sleepy."

Jiang Ci immediately stood up. "Go back if you're tired. I'll send you down."

"No need. There are so many guests. You should go and greet them."

Jiang Ci had been with them all night. He automatically ignored the other guests.

Jiang Ci's thin lips curled slightly. He said half-jokingly, "They are not as important as you. Let's go. I will come up when I send you down the elevator."

"Alright then." Shi Qian did not say anything else and the two of them left together.

Huo Fei and Huo Yan said goodbye and did not follow the two of them down.

Huo Yan stared at the back of the two of them and a complicated emotion flashed across the bottom of her eyes. Envy and heartache.

Envy that Shi Qian could get Jiang Ci's affection and love but could not fulfill it.

Huo Fei noticed that the little girl had been staring at Shi Qian and Jiang Ci, and the meaning in her eyes was unknown.

He raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Huo Yan suddenly came back to her senses and felt a little guilty. She quickly said, "Brother, Master Zhan is downstairs waiting for Ms Shi Qian. Is it okay for Ci to send her down?"

"It's just a gift. What problem can there be?" After a pause, Huo Fei said again, "You are thinking quite a lot."

Huo Yan pursed her lips and did not say anything else.

Huo Fei said, "You sit here. I will go over there and find a friend."

"Yes." Huo Yan nodded and quietly waited by herself.2

After a while, Mrs. Jiang suddenly walked over and sat beside her, "Yan'er, why are you alone?"

"Aunt Jiang. Ci went to see Ms Shi Qian off. My brother went to find his friend. "

"Shi Qian left?"

"Yes, Master Zhan came to pick her up, so she went back first."

"Oh, I see." Mrs. Jiang looked in the direction of the banquet hall's main gate. Her eyes were slightly deep, and she seemed to be deep in thought.

It was not that she did not know her son's thoughts about Shi Qian, but she also knew how heavy those thoughts were. She felt sorry for her son, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously let out a soft sigh.

Huo Yan immediately said, "Auntie, what's wrong?"
