It has been almost twenty years since he spoke to Xu Rouyi in such a serious tone.

Xu Rouyi felt very sad, but she still held her face high and said with a firm tone, "Dad, the banquet is ready."

Xu Ming sneered, "Okay! Now that you have grown up and your wings have become stronger, you don't take me seriously anymore! Huh?"

Xu Rouyi's expression was also very cold, "Dad, everyone is watching. Even if you don't care about your own face, please also consider the face of the Xu family, Aunt He, and the He family..."

She just didn't mention the He family. When she mentioned the He family, Xu Ming's face became even more gloomy. If it hadn't been for the He family, how could "she" have left! Now, the He family actually has the nerve to save He Gang and his son!

wishful thinking!

However, although there were not many people watching around them, there were many guests watching here and discussing something in detail.

Xu Yun's cold voice suddenly broke in, not enough for all the guests to hear, but enough for Xu Ming to hear, "Qiao Mo! What are you doing here? Not only did you take away my boyfriend, but you also took away my eldest sister.

Your boyfriend? Thanks to my eldest sister for being so kind to you, this is how you repay her?!"

"Xu Yun, shut up! Don't you even look at what kind of occasion this is! Is this where you screamed? Isn't it embarrassing enough? Hurry up and go with dad to get ready for the banquet!" Xu Rouyi said coldly.

Xu Yun's breath was stagnant. She saw that Xu Ming looked at Qiao Mo in a wrong way, and thought about her parents' bad relationship. She was worried that Xu Ming would do something to disgrace her mother, so she uttered evil words to let Xu Ming see Qiao Mo clearly.

True to form, he really ignored the occasion!

What's the difference between her doing this and being a shrew? It's really embarrassing!

Xu Yun lowered her eyelashes a little uncomfortably, walked to Xu Ming's side, and said softly, "Dad, let's go over. Sister will take care of the things here."

Who is Xu Ming? It's not that he doesn't care about his face, but he has been in a high position for too long and has habitually believed that no one in this city dares to see his jokes, so he insists on asking why. But now,

Only then did he realize that Xu Rouyi’s stubborn temper was on par with her mother’s. He knew that if this happened

Continuing like this would not help the situation, and it would really make others watch the show, so this time, he left as he was told. But before leaving, he still told Xu Rouyi with a cold look - this matter is not over! By the way, he talked to Xu Chengyao kindly

Said, "Director Xu, enjoy today's dinner. I hope you won't be disappointed."

Xu Chengyao said politely, "Uncle Xu, you are so polite. It is my honor to attend your birthday dinner."

Xu Ming smiled and nodded, looked at Qiao Mo who was confused, and then walked away.

As soon as he left, Xu Rouyi turned around and stared at Xu Chengyao, her eyes were scary and cold, "Xu Chengyao, you have nothing to do here anymore, you can leave."

Xu Chengyao spread his hands innocently, "Uncle Xu emphasized that I should enjoy it. If I just leave like this, wouldn't it be too disrespectful to him?"

"Senior sister, have I caused trouble for you?" Qiao Mo asked in a low voice.

Looking at Qiao Mo, Xu Rouyi's cold eyes softened a little. She sighed softly and said softly, "It's nothing, don't take it to heart. Just now, my tone was too harsh, so don't be angry.

"

Qiao Mo immediately smiled and said, "I won't be angry anymore. I believe that senior sister must have your reasons for doing this. It's all my fault. I came here after being provoked by Xu Chengyao several times. I shouldn't have come."

On the stage in the banquet hall, Xu Ming was delivering words of thanks, and there were bursts of applause from the audience.

Xu Rouyi looked back at Xu Ming, then at Qiao Mo, looking a little confused, and said softly, "You really shouldn't have come. There's nothing else to do. You go back first, and I'll explain to you later."

Qiao Mo nodded obediently, but Xu Chengyao said, "How can this be done? I brought Qiao Mo, and I haven't left yet, how can I let her go? I'm so worried about her being alone!"

Xu Rouyi stared at Xu Chengyao coldly, "Xu Chengyao, you'd better put away those little thoughts of yours! I don't care what your status is, you should understand that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, I can give you a chance to pursue

Qiao Mo, I can also tell you to go back to the imperial capital!"

Xu Chengyao's eyes narrowed and he said coldly, "What a loud tone!"

Xu Rouyi sneered, "If you don't believe it, try it!"

Qiao Mo was very unaccustomed to this tense and gunpowder-filled atmosphere, so she hurriedly said, "I'm not used to attending dinner parties anyway, so I'll go back first."

Xu Rouyi immediately said, "Okay, be careful on the road and give me a call when you get home."

Although Xu Chengyao didn't want Qiao Mo to leave, seeing that she really defended Xu Rouyi, he couldn't force him. Anyway, as long as she showed up, he would have achieved his goal, so he nodded and said very gently, "Be careful, we're home now."

Give me a call."

Qiao Mo nodded quickly, said goodbye to the two of them, and left.

Seeing Qiao Mo leaving, Xu Rouyi and Xu Chengyao exchanged cold eyebrows again. Xu Rouyi said coldly, "Xu Chengyao, I'm warning you, if you dare to take advantage of Qiao Mo or do anything detrimental to her, don't

If you say that I won't let you go, and her parents won't let you go, you can't even expect to get Mr. Qiao's support."

Xu Chengyao didn't take it seriously, and his smile was very evil, "Miss Xu, you and I have been together for a while. Could it be that it's only been so long that you don't like me anymore?"

Xu Rouyi smiled instead of being angry, and took two steps forward. She slightly lifted Xu Chengyao's chin with her slender fingers. Her smile was even more charming and charming, "Xu Chengyao, among the men I have ever played with, your appearance is the best."

Bad!"

After saying that, she stared at him contemptuously and turned to leave gracefully. Unexpectedly, Xu Chengyao suddenly said behind her, "Including Xu Xiyao?"

Xu Rouyi hesitated, her face turned ugly, and then she left without hesitation.

——

The dinner party officially started, and the Xu family members were greeting the guests. Xu Ming's eyes fell on Xu Chengyao, but he only saw him and not Qiao Mo. He thought Qiao Mo had gone to the bathroom, so he walked to Xu Chengyao's table.

Xu Chengyao stood up and toasted politely, "Uncle Xu, happy birthday!"

"Thank you!" Xu Ming said with a smile, "Where is the little girl who came with Director Xu?"

"She's a little uncomfortable, so she went back first. Why, Uncle Xu has something to do with her?" Xu Chengyao asked pretending not to know.

Xu Ming's eyes turned cold, but he still smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just saw that she looks a bit like an old friend, so I was curious."

Just as the door of the banquet hall opened, Xu Chengyao happened to catch a glimpse of Xu Xiyao, who was as tall and tall as a green pine and cypress, with vigorous steps, handsome and wise, walking over with a box in his hands.

He was stunned for a moment, why did Xu Xiyao suddenly appear at Xu Ming's birthday party?

Xu Ming also noticed Xu Chengyao's startled expression and looked over. He saw that man's sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, and he acted like a general. Given time, no, he should be a powerful figure by now. But this man, looking at

It seemed familiar, but he definitely didn't recognize this person.

While thinking about it, Xu Xiyao had already come to Xu Ming, holding the box in his hand, and said politely, "Uncle Xu, happy birthday, it's just a small gift, I hope Uncle Xu will accept it."

Even Xu Ming, who has been in shopping malls for a long time, was a little stunned at this time. He didn't know this young man, but he could see that the packaging box was also extraordinary, and the gift inside was probably not a "little gift".

what is going on?

"Who are you?" Xu Ming asked.

Xu Xiyao said with a smile, "Junior Xu Xiyao works in the army and is Xu Chengyao's eldest brother. Just call me Xiao Xu. I heard Zoey mentioned before that today is your birthday. I happened to be on vacation today, so I came to visit you. I also

I hope Uncle Xu won’t blame me for coming uninvited.”

Xu Chengyao's eldest brother? Isn't that the eldest son of the Xu family? No wonder you can tell at just one glance that he is not a creature of the pond!

It’s just that he said that Zoey mentioned it to him. Does he know Zoey?

What's going on?

Didn't Zoe get along with Xu Chengyao before? Why is she suddenly involved with Xu Xiyao again?

These young people... are so confused!

Although he was confused, Xu Ming didn't show it on his face. His expression was like that of a long-time acquaintance, "Since he is Zoey's friend and Director Xu's eldest brother, he is naturally an honored guest. Please take a seat. If you have not greeted me carefully,

Xiao Xu, don’t worry about it.”

While talking, Xu Ming had already accepted the gift from Xu Xiyao. He thought about it and said, "I wonder if little Xujie would mind if I take a look at this gift now?"

"Of course I don't mind, please, uncle."

Xu Ming opened the box and was surprised to see a tripod-shaped purple clay pot lying quietly in the box. With just one glance, he could see that the pot was exquisitely crafted and had a powerful and concise look. It had both the ancient charm of bronze and the

It has the sophistication of the times and is truly a rare product.

He carefully picked up the pot, looked at it carefully, and looked at the seal carefully. His eyes lit up, "This is..."

If he read it correctly, this was exactly the exquisite purple clay teapot that he had always wanted but missed the auction because of something else. It is said that someone later spent tens of millions of dollars to buy it. Somehow

It ended up in the hands of Xu Xiyao.

Xu Xiyao said politely, "It's just a small gift, as long as Uncle Xu likes it."

Even Xu Ming, one of the richest men in the world, took a breath of air at this time. It's not that he has never seen such valuable items before. He has seen them more, but it's rare to see someone giving something worth tens of millions as a small gift. He

But I don’t think I’m worth the Xu family spending such a huge price to win over.

"Although it is a small gift, it is too expensive..." Although he liked this purple clay teapot very much, Xu Ming had to reluctantly part with it. However, before he finished speaking, Xu Chengyao laughed and laughed at the side, "Uncle Xu, just accept it.

, my eldest brother also has other motives for giving you this. He is using good things to please his future father-in-law."
