Chapter 174 Phoenix of the Empire (23)

The growth environment determines a person's character. This sentence cannot be said absolutely, but it is quite reasonable. The heroine is a typical example.During her growth, she listened to a lot of gossip, which led to her sensitive personality, strong self-esteem, strong sense of independence, and easy to be stubborn and impulsive.Besides, this heroine is definitely not lacking in scheming, otherwise why would she pick this moment to make a fuss.

The arguing sound was getting closer and clearer, and Jian Ming saw Jian Huayi's expression gradually becoming gloomy as he wished.She took the teacup as if nothing had happened, took a sip of the tea, and a smile flashed across her eyes.

"The people in the family are ignorant, and His Highness laughed at him." Jian Huayi forced a smile, and looked at Ji Xingzhi with a cold and serious face, frowning slightly imperceptibly.

Ji Xingzhi glanced at Jian Ming, his dark eyes were full of dim light, he moved his fingers, and said lightly: "It's okay, since there is a dispute, it's better to deal with it first."

As soon as these words came out, Jian Huayi's complexion was extremely pale. The meaning of Ji Xingzhi's words could not be more obvious, and it was clear that he wanted him to deal with it face to face.But Qu Xiao's identity is really not visible, if Prince Hua finds out... no, he suddenly realizes some possibility, he can't help but look sideways at Jian Ming, his gaze sinks.

Could it be that that person already knew about it?
"My lord Jane, what's the inconvenience? If it involves a personal matter, I'll take the liberty." Ji Xingzhi caught a glimpse of the anticipation in Jian Ming's eyes from the corner of his eye, and while he was laughing, he couldn't help feeling strange.

"Your Highness was joking, so there's nothing inconvenient about it." Jian Huayi waved her hands embarrassingly, feeling very depressed in her heart, but maintained a smile on her face.

"Uncle Jian, I'm here to say goodbye. Thank you for taking care of me and my mother during this time." With permission, Qu Xiao immediately appeared in the living room. As soon as she entered the door, she looked at Jian Hua and said anxiously.It's just that her appearance of pretending to be strong, and her expression of hesitating to speak, showed that there is something else hidden in it.

"Isn't it a good place to live? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Jian Hua felt distressed and annoyed at the same time seeing her expression.

"After all, it's not my home. It's really not good to disturb me." Qu Xiao shook her head, glanced at Ji Xingzhi secretly from the corner of her eye, and her expression changed slightly.

"But whoever said gossip in front of you, you don't have to pay attention to it. Your body is not fully healed yet. You orphans and widows, after all, it's more convenient to stay in the mansion."

The smile on Jian Hua's face wasn't too deep, but her tone softened a lot subconsciously. Compared with his attitude towards herself, Jian Ming felt a little sour for a while.She watched this scene with cold eyes, and her original mentality of watching the show disappeared without a trace.

People are always biased!These words were vividly reflected in Jian Huayi, she clenched her hands tightly, secretly feeling worthless for the original owner.It's also his own life, with such a gap, it's no wonder that the original owner was so crazy in the later stage.I'm afraid that apart from Ji Jingxing's reason, there is also Jian Huayi's different treatment, which caused her mentality to become unbalanced, and she hated the heroine to the core.

"Jane Ming."

Jian Ming was falling into her own emotions, when she suddenly heard Jian Huayi's slightly cold voice, she raised her eyes to look at him, a little confused.

"Qu Xiao is the same age as you, and you are both in the Imperial College, and you are in the same class by fate, so you have to take care of each other in the future."

Jian Huayi had a benevolent look on her face, and Jian Ming felt overwhelmed when she saw it. She pursed her lips, and didn't answer the question immediately, but asked the system silently in her mind.

"System, what happened just now, I was just distracted, has the situation changed?"

"Lovely host, let Mengmeng's system shed tears of sorrow and pain for you. Under the persuasion of the original host's father, the hostess decided to continue living. However, I will tell you a little secret, Mrs. hostess From coming in to now, I have peeked at your dear villain eleven times. So, don't sound the alarm carelessly!"

The communication between the two lasted only a moment, and Jian Ming felt speechless at the nonsense of the system. She focused her attention and saw that the three of them were all looking at her, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Take care of each other? There are many burdens around."

The obvious refusal made Jian Huayi's eyes sink. He looked straight at Jian Ming, and because of Ji Xingzhi's presence, his tone of voice was acceptable: "Qu Xiao will not be a burden. Don't underestimate others."

"So my father thinks I'm good too?" Jian Ming stared straight at Jian Huayi, her expression gradually changed, she laughed at herself, the loneliness in her eyes couldn't be concealed: "Jian Ming thought it was because I was too bad , will make my father refuse to pay attention to it, and instead care about others. So, am I also excellent?"

Isn't it just playing the weak!Although a little ashamed, Miss Ben is happy!

Confused and wronged on Jian Ming's face, Jian Huayi had already poked countless small holes in her heart. Seeing the appearance of the heroine being weak and pretending to be strong, she suddenly felt overwhelmed.It can be said that they really deserve to be mother and daughter!This cute and pitiful little face really makes me feel pity...

"What are you talking about? I am usually busy with affairs, and there may be things that I can't take care of. I didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding. Hey..." Jian Huayi shook her head with a sigh , seems quite distressed.

Good acting!Jian Ming secretly praised it, and almost didn't let herself laugh.

She blinked, her expression suddenly realized, but mixed with doubts, she finally said vaguely: "Then you to Miss Qu..."

"Qu Xiao's mother is my old friend, don't think too much..."

Listening to Jian Huayi's explanation that had nothing to do with the facts, Jian Ming's eyes turned cold, and when he finished the last sentence, she curled her lips and said innocently: "So that's the case, I thought , that Mrs. Qu will become my stepmother! Seeing that you care so much about Miss Qu, others may think she is your biological daughter!"

"You child..." Jian Huayi was extremely annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't break out, so she could only laugh and curse to cover up her inner embarrassment.

"Look carefully, there are indeed some similarities." At this moment, Ji Xingzhi, who had been silent for a long time and served as the background wall with a strong sense of presence, suddenly said.The words spoken, coupled with Jian Ming's words, are extremely meaningful.Jian Ming glanced at him, noticed the flash of interest on his face, and her eyes lit up.

"A person's face is just these five sense organs. To be honest, there are some similarities." Qu Xiao's expression changed, and her heart was somewhat complicated. She knew her father but could not recognize her. To her, this was actually a different kind. torment.But even so, she also knew that her identity could not be revealed rashly.

After all, illegitimate daughters and illegitimate children are the most despised existences in society.

She can't lose face in front of Prince Hua, that man is a dream that existed in her teenage years.
