love you deeply
Chapter 257 The Taste of Death
Coming out of the study, Xiao Yi opened his clenched fists lightly while walking forward, his palms were already full of sweat.
At that moment just now, he was really afraid that he would reveal some flaws.
He has seen Xiao Zhengshan's cruelty before, and he also knows that Xiao Zhengshan can make Ji Nanqiao disappear into the world without a sound, and can also hide it from Du Yunwei's eyes and ears, so that he can continue to work for the Xiao family willingly.
And now the only way to make Xiao Zhengshan temporarily give up dealing with Ji Nanqiao is to make him feel that Ji Nanqiao has fallen in love with him and is loyal to Xiao's family, but he is not careless.
I don't know how much Xiao Zhengshan believes, Xiao Yi's heart is still full of uneasiness at this moment, but right now he can only do this step.

in the study.
After watching Xiao Yi leave, Tang Shuwan looked at Xiao Zhengshan worriedly, "Do you believe it? Do you think what Yi'er just said is credible?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Zhengshan tugged at the skirt of his shirt, "He cares about it but makes chaos, it's all flaws and he doesn't know it."
Xiao Zhengshan said with a sad expression on his face, "Shu Wan, our son is probably going to make a detour."
"Then what should we do?" Listening to Xiao Zhengshan's words, tears flickered in Tang Shuwan's eyes.
Reaching out and gently grasping Xiao Zhengshan's hand, Tang Shuwan's eyes were full of worry and fear.
What happened back then was the wrong thing she and Xiao Zhengshan did. These years, she ate vegetarian food and recited Buddha's name, thinking that it would be more or less resolved, but she did not expect that the retribution would still be directed towards her son.
"One thing, this stinky boy really reminded me. He is indeed a big boss. Let's hold a dinner party and invite all the famous ladies from the imperial capital. Everyone will naturally understand what we mean."
"I want to see if this Ji Nanqiao really cares about Xiao Yi and the Xiao family."
For Ji Nanqiao, Xiao Zhengshan had never been able to completely feel at ease, but with Xiao Yi and Du Yunwei as the two major constraints right now, he didn't want to touch her easily.
It's just that he still has to give it a try, to see how she will react when he publicly organizes a blind date for Xiao Yi.
If her heart is really in the Xiao family, he can keep her for now, anyway, she alone can't cause any trouble.
But if her heart is still in the Lu family, then don't blame him for not being able to keep her.
"Okay, I'll let someone prepare it." Tang Shuwan understood the meaning of Xiao Zhengshan's words, and quickly agreed.
—
A dinner party was held grandly and grandly.
Everyone knew that Xiao Zhengshan, the patriarch of the Xiao family in Jiangcheng, and his wife Tang Shuwan had Xiao Yi as their only son.
The Xiao family in Jiangcheng is an existence that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lu family in the imperial capital. As the only son of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi's status is naturally noble.
Now that such a dinner party is being held in the Imperial Capital, and so many famous ladies from aristocratic families are invited, the meaning of this could not be more obvious.
Naturally, all the big and small families in the imperial capital want to climb up to the Jiang family, and they all want to facilitate this marriage.
Even if they can't make it, then a dinner like today is still a must.
So this dinner has become a hotly discussed event in the imperial capital before it even started, and everyone is guessing who the young master of the Xiao family will take a fancy to tonight.
Everyone is looking forward to whether they have the possibility to become that lucky one.
And Lu Quan and the others were also among the invited.
After narrowly escaped death in the reference room, Lu Youyan seemed to have returned to his previous appearance, no longer drunk and dreaming.
Back at Jin En, everyone was still respectful, and everything seemed to be back to normal in an instant.
He is indeed very capable, and he has reorganized the company's situation in the past two years of delay.
As soon as he put down the documents in his hand, there was a knock on the office door.
"Enter."
As Lu Youyan said, he took off his glasses, stretched out his hand and gently squeezed the space between his eyebrows.
"Mr. Lu, this is the information about the banquet. I've already sorted out all the people who were invited. Listening to the outside discussion, it seems that they want to give Young Master Xiao a blind date."
"Well, let it go." Lu Youyan said casually after hearing what Yu Bai said.
"Yes." Yu Bai responded, put down the materials he had sorted out in his hand, then turned and walked out.
Lu Youyan slowly took the stack of documents, looked through them roughly, and her eyes instantly became solemn.
It is true that almost all the ladies of the appropriate age in the imperial capital were invited, even their Lu family was invited.
But looking at Xiao Yi's appearance when facing Ji Nanqiao, it shouldn't be the appearance that he would hold such a banquet at this time.
So there must be something wrong here.
After thinking about it again and again, Lu Youyan still didn't hold back.
He had to go to this dinner party.
—
Before the dinner, it was Xiao Yi who personally took Ji Nanqiao to dress up.
The champagne-colored dress matched her complexion very well, making her look even more fair and beautiful, and her beauty was overwhelming.
Coupled with the delicate makeup with appropriate shades, Ji Nanqiao is really beautiful at the moment.
Looking at Ji Nanqiao in front of him, Xiao Yi was obviously very satisfied, and smiled and gently picked her chin with his index finger, "Remember to act more realistic later, if a woman approaches me, show your jealousy ,clear?"
Ji Nanqiao couldn't help but rolled his eyes at him, "I now suspect that you are deliberately ruining my reputation. This is not torturing you, it is obviously torturing me."
"Is fame important? Your life is important?" Xiao Yi looked at Ji Nanqiao and said softly, "Or are you afraid of being seen by Lu Youyan?"
Hearing him mention Lu Youyan, the smile on Ji Nanqiao's face disappeared immediately.
"No, it has long been irrelevant between me and him."
"It's best if you know," Xiao Yi suddenly squeezed her jaw, a little annoyed that she lost her mind whenever Lu Youyan was mentioned, "Why don't you rehearse now, come on, be affectionate."
Ji Nanqiao raised his eyes and gave him a sideways glance, but in the next moment, he reached out and gently hooked his arm.
"Xiao Yi, do you know how cold the sea is?" Ji Nanqiao suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Yi, with serious eyes, and asked aloud.
Xiao Yi felt as if his heart had been pierced by a bullet, and his whole body was numb with pain.
"I still remember the feeling, severe pain, cold, suffocation, it is a smell of death."
"You saved me from that cold despair."
"So Xiao Yi, from that moment on, you are different from others to me, do you understand?"
Listening to Ji Nanqiao's words, Xiao Yi's eyes shook violently, an indescribable feeling.
It was he who saved her from such a cold despair, but what she didn't know was that it was he who pushed her into such a cold and desperate situation.
There was unprecedented fear in my heart, fearing that one day she would know the truth.
At that moment just now, he was really afraid that he would reveal some flaws.
He has seen Xiao Zhengshan's cruelty before, and he also knows that Xiao Zhengshan can make Ji Nanqiao disappear into the world without a sound, and can also hide it from Du Yunwei's eyes and ears, so that he can continue to work for the Xiao family willingly.
