Quick Travel: The Story of Your Highness's Pampering of Her Husband
Chapter 137 The real business boss (19)
Xuanyuan Xi's "pure and innocent" girl character was well performed, but only Xiao Yi and the system, who knew her true nature, found it difficult to accept it.
Xiao Yi, who had never thought that Xixi would act so coquettishly towards her, did not answer the other party's questions immediately and just stood there in a daze.
In the end, Xuanyuan Xi quietly stretched out her hand and sneaked in through the gap in the clothes behind his back. The moment her fingertips touched the skin of his lower back, Xiao Yi came back to her senses.
He tensed up unconsciously, with a stiff smile on his face. He reached out and pointed to the group of friends around him one by one, and introduced their names and family backgrounds.
The second-generation young masters looked at Lin Huanhuan and then at Xuanyuan Xi, feeling something was wrong for no reason.
Today is the engagement party, and Xuanyuan Xi is also wearing a white dress. Different from Lin Huanhuan's "first love makeup" of clear soup and watery style, the white dress she wears today is not only outlined with silver threads, but also studded with many diamonds.
What Xuanyuan Xi wears around her neck is not a pearl, but a top-quality sapphire of more than 10 carats, paired with earrings of the same color and exquisite makeup. Standing next to Lin Huanhuan, the contrast between the two is very obvious. , a cheap one.
The men were completely unaware of the rivalry among the girls. Seeing Xiao Yi speak, their attention immediately shifted.
They all showed respect to Xuanyuan Xi, their newly minted sibling, and greeted her cheerfully, while Xuanyuan Xi smiled shyly in return.
Under the active guidance of Xiao Yi and her cousin Ye Jiayu, the group had a great time chatting, and soon became familiar with each other.
Lin Huanhuan and Shen Sen, who were left alone, seemed out of place and very embarrassed.
Lin Huanhuan felt like she could hear other people pointing and laughing at her.
She deliberately chose white today just to arouse the love in Gu Yi's heart. Although she didn't like Gu Yi, she didn't want Gu Yi to give up her and fall in love with another woman.
She came here on purpose just to put a thorn in that girl's heart.But she didn't expect that when compared with Xuanyuan Xi, she actually failed miserably in terms of clothing. Lin Huanhuan couldn't help but clench her fists in anger.
This time, she made a mistake.
However, Lin Huanhuan quickly calmed down and did not become angry. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and wiped the corners of her eyes slightly with her fingertips, showing an extremely aggrieved attitude.
In fact, the group of people around Xiao Yi, although they were all chatting with Xuanyuan Xi, were all glancing at Lin Huanhuan from the corner of their eyes. Seeing the pitiful little appearance of the other person, they still felt a little unbearable.
After all, they were all playmates who grew up together, so they naturally had feelings for each other. However, because the other party hurt their brother, and they were afraid of arousing the resentment of Xuanyuan Xi, the real brother and sister, they all chose to pretend not to see it.
However, Shen Sen didn't think so.
His girlfriend came to the Gu family's engagement party with good intentions and wanted to send her blessings regardless of past suspicions, but Gu Yi actually ignored them and just brushed them aside. She was really rude!
Especially when he saw Lin Huanhuan crying silently, Shen Sen felt angry. He couldn't help but accuse: "Is this the way your Gu family treats guests? Just throw the guests aside and chat among themselves. ?”
As soon as Shen Sen spoke, everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at him and Lin Huanhuan.
After Shen Sen saw that everyone was attracted by his words, he looked straight at Xiao Yi and continued with a cold face: "Gu Yi, do you know? Huanhuan has been begging me for a long time regardless of her face, just to let her come. When she attends your engagement party, she wants to say 'I wish you happiness' in person."
"But what about you?"
"Why did you so deliberately neglect her and embarrass her? Is it because you resented her for not compromising and choosing to be with you?"
Shen Sen's voice seemed to be filled with frost, and the cold warning immediately solidified the atmosphere.
The guests in the banquet hall, which had returned to liveliness, once again cast their fiery gazes on this corner.
Xiao Yi also turned cold for a moment. He stared at Shen Sen, his aura uncompromising. Looking around at the crowd watching the show, he suddenly said loudly: "The Gu family has also heard about the rumors in the capital recently. Today. , I, Gu Yi, solemnly explained in front of all the guests."
"I, Gu Yi, once liked Miss Lin, but it was a love between relatives. It's just that Gu Yi was young and ignorant and mistook family affection for love. When Miss Lin and Mr. Shen announced that they were together, I felt that I had grown up The sister I grew up with was taken away, so I did all kinds of childish things."
Xiao Yi reached out and took Xuanyuan Xi's hand, raised it high, and said loudly: "But now, I, Gu Yi, have found the woman I want to love for the rest of my life, and I truly understand what love is."
Then, he turned to look at Lin Huanhuan and said, "As for Miss Lin, I sincerely wish her and Mr. Shen happiness, and hope to have your wedding wine as soon as possible."
Lin Huanhuan's expression was very ugly. She didn't expect Xiao Yi to say such a thing. He obviously loved her so much before, how could he regard family affection as love!
Shen Sen nodded, agreeing with Xiao Yi's statement.
He observed very carefully. Xiao Yi's eyes were full of affection when he looked at Xuanyuan Xi, but there was no infatuation in his eyes when he looked at Lin Huanhuan.
Everything was just as Xiao Yi said. There must have been some misunderstanding at the beginning, right?
He looked at Xiao Yi and asked, "Then why did your Gu family suddenly expel Huanhuan from the house? Let her leave the house as a weak woman?"
Everyone's attention focused on Xiao Yi again, waiting for his answer.
Father Gu stood in the crowd and did not come forward, only watching how his son would respond.
After all, Xiaoyi is about to get engaged and is an adult. He must let his son grow up.
Xiao Yi looked calm and replied calmly: "I wonder if Mr. Shen knows Miss Lin's life experience?"
Shen Sen didn't expect that he would suddenly ask such a question. Just as he was about to speak, Xiao Yi intercepted him.
He asked himself and answered: "Everyone present here knows that Miss Lin was originally an orphan in an orphanage. Because she saved my life more than ten years ago, she was brought back to the Gu family to raise her."
"In the past ten years, Miss Lin's food and clothing expenses have been top-notch. Customized clothes, shoes, jewelry, aristocratic schools, art education, everything is the standard of the top ladies in the capital."
"It is no exaggeration to say that my Gu family spent more than [-] million just to raise her."
Xiao Yi stared at Shen Sen and asked coldly: "It's just a life-saving favor. The Gu family paid [-] million, isn't it enough?"
"Ms. Lin is 21 years old this year and has reached the legal age for marriage. Gu Yi is also over [-] years old. She even confused family and love and did many stupid things."
"We have all grown up, and it is no longer appropriate to live together. So, what is wrong with my father asking Miss Lin to leave and support herself?"
"Is it possible that Miss Lin still lives in the Gu family without any suspicion and lets my Gu family support her for the rest of her life?"
The sonorous and powerful question left Shen Sen speechless, and the other guests also looked thoughtful. It sounded like the Gu family had indeed done a good job. After all, they were just an orphan. They had done their best to raise her to such a great age.
Lin Huanhuan was extremely panicked. She didn't expect Xiao Yi to say such unpleasant things. How could she get along in the upper class circles in the future? !
After seeing that everyone's hearts were tilted toward the Gu family, Xiao Yi suddenly sighed deeply, "Besides, who said that my Gu family purged Miss Lin and kicked her out of the house?"
No matter how you put it, after all, after supporting someone for more than ten years, it still doesn't sound good to suddenly turn against him and kick him out.
Xiao Yi didn't want the Gu family's reputation to be tarnished, so he explained to everyone: "Dad asked Miss Lin to leave in order to train her skills. After all, she is not a real Gu family, and she will always have to rely on herself in the future."
"So, my father plans to officially transfer the [-] million trust fund in her name to Miss Lin as her entrepreneurial capital after she has qualified."
"If you don't believe it, just go check it out."
Xiao Yi, who had never thought that Xixi would act so coquettishly towards her, did not answer the other party's questions immediately and just stood there in a daze.
In the end, Xuanyuan Xi quietly stretched out her hand and sneaked in through the gap in the clothes behind his back. The moment her fingertips touched the skin of his lower back, Xiao Yi came back to her senses.
