Xia Qingning originally thought that she would never have any entanglements with Liu Xueyin in this life, but she didn't expect that things were completely beyond her expectations. Not only were they entangled, but now she was threatening her.

She sighed silently, maybe she really did a lot of wicked things in her previous life, which made her meet not only Gu Qiaoan but also Liu Xueyin in this life.

During this period of time, she was sandwiched between the two of them, which had already exhausted her physically and mentally. Her life was already in a mess, and now she was suddenly involved. She really didn't know how to deal with it was the best choice.

Especially when she had concerns in her heart, all the decisions she made gradually became hesitant.

Liu Xueyin and Xia Qingning did not appear in the conspicuous place of the banquet, because her purpose was obviously not here.

After the two stood still in a corner, a waiter immediately brought them drinks with a smile.

Xia Qingning looked at him, shook her head, and motioned for herself not to drink, but Liu Xueyin who was beside her snorted coldly, then reached out for two glasses of wine, smiled and said,

"Thank you!"

Xia Qingning was very disgusted with her hypocritical thanks, after all, she had just seen her arrogant attitude towards the waiter outside the door.

It may be that he provided her with what she needed in time, and this person seemed so gentle.

"Take it."

Liu Xueyin handed her a glass of wine, but Xia Qingning frowned slightly, standing still,

"I do not drink."

"This is not wine, it has a very low alcohol content. Would you like to have a sip?"

"No need..." Before Xia Qingning could finish her sentence, Liu Xueyin directly stuffed the wine into her hand. She was afraid that the glass would break and attract attention, so she had to hold it temporarily.

Seeing that Xia Qingning was so obedient, Liu Xueyin seemed to be very satisfied, she raised the corners of her lips slightly, and took a sip of the wine in the glass.

In the banquet hall, people were drinking and drinking, and people gathered together in twos and threes to chat softly. The waiters wandered among the crowd, serving drinks to those who needed them.

One side of the hall is filled with fresh flowers and all kinds of snacks and fruits for guests to taste, but few people go there.

On the other side, I don’t know where to invite the band, dressed in a professional black tuxedo, playing melodious and soothing music, making people feel extremely comfortable.

The hall is not luxuriously furnished, but it also gives people a high-end feeling.It may be because the people here are all celebrities and nobles, so they look extraordinarily high-end.

After Liu Xueyin's father came in, he explained a few words to his daughter, and then immediately went to chat with other people.After all, the purpose of their coming here is to find suitable investors.

Xia Qingning was not in the mood to participate in this, the hand holding the wine glass was a little numb, and her legs and feet were sore from standing.

"How long are we going to stay?"

"You just want to leave without even seeing Gu Qiaoan? Are you being too insincere?"

Xia Qingning heard the words and looked at the time, it was almost seven o'clock in the evening, her mother was still waiting for her to go back to eat, and she didn't have time to talk to her when she came here just now, so she didn't know if she would be too worried about herself.

Seeing that Liu Xueyin had no intention of letting her leave, Xia Qingning quickly began to think about countermeasures in her mind.

At this moment, the lights on the stage in front of the hall suddenly turned on, and a host in a black suit smiled and spoke the opening remarks in a correct manner.

Finally started.

Xia Qingning sighed inwardly.

Gu Qiaoan should also appear on that stage later, after all, it's Gu Yichen's birthday - her own brother.

At this time, under the introduction of the host, Gu Yichen had already stepped onto the stage and stood in front of Limai.

Perhaps because today is his birthday, his facial expression is much softer, even with a hint of a smile, he is dressed in a straight and slender black suit, and his handsome face reveals a bit of sharp-edged indifference; Her eyebrows were raised slightly upwards, and under her long and slightly curled eyelashes, there was an unconcealable darkness and depth in her eyes, which made people feel a little intimidated.

After he finished his official thank-you speech, he thought it would be the same as usual, so it ended directly, and the rest were those who came to the banquet, vying to curry favor with him.

Unexpectedly, when it was the host's turn to end, he didn't say it was over. Instead, he asked Gu Yichen to stop, and there was a surprise for him next.

Gu Yichen didn't have much hope for the surprise that he had originally told him.

But when she saw Gu Qiao'an and Cong Xue wearing dresses and pushing an exquisite cake and coming out from behind the curtain, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"An An, why are you here?"

Gu Yichen asked in surprise, not caring that he was still on stage at this time.

Gu Qiaoan dodged her eyes in embarrassment, and Cong Xue immediately stood up to rescue her.

"Brother Yichen, why didn't An'an come for your birthday? And this time she even made a cake for you, so hurry up and try it."

Cong Xue finished speaking with a smile and then blinked at Gu Qiao'an, motioning for her to say something, but Gu Qiao'an turned her head, her cheeks felt hot instantly,

"Cake Cher also made cakes, not by me alone."

Gu Qiaoan finished speaking without confidence, even so, Gu Yichen was still excited and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, his birthday party, not to mention whether An An will come or not, did not even say a birthday greeting in previous years. He always thought that he was used to it, but unexpectedly, he would still be extremely excited by her appearance.

She couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Gu Qiaoan tightly.

Although Gu Qiaoan was a little uncomfortable with his sudden intimacy, she couldn't push him away on this occasion, so she had to try to accept it stiffly.

This scene naturally aroused intense applause from the audience, only Liu Xueyin snorted coldly,

"This pair of brothers and sisters really know how to play."

Although Xia Qingning felt that Gu Yichen's expression was exaggerated, it was just Gu Qiaoan's appearance, so she was so surprised!

Although she felt that Gu Qiaoan's expression seemed a little blunt, she thought it might be because of her birthday, so it was normal to be a little excited, but she couldn't help it when she was satirized by Liu Xueyin like this.

"Since you don't like it so much, why do you need to come?"

"That's not because of you."

"Don't drag me into it. You say it so righteously. People like you are only for yourself, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xueyin just looked at her faintly, then turned her head,

"Do you know who the girl next to Gu Qiaoan is on stage?"

Xia Qingning was silent, and looked in the direction she said,

"Her name is Cong Xue, the Cong family, I think you should have heard that her father is a descendant of the Cong family, a senior military officer in City A, and her mother is a famous painter in both Chinese and foreign languages. A painting can sell for tens of millions. Only such power The monstrous, wealthy family, standing next to Gu Qiaoan, will not appear to be against harmony."

Xia Qingning listened to Liu Xueyin's words, and just turned her head to see Gu Qiaoan feeding a cake to the girl named Cong Xue, who she saw in the cafe that day.

He clenched his fists involuntarily, and said coldly,

"what do you want to say in the end?"

"What I want to say, you should be very clear."

"What if I say I don't know?"

How could Liu Xueyin not see through Xia Qingning's duplicity, lazily changed her posture, and said leisurely,

"You don't know, then I will tell you clearly that Gu Qiaoan is not worthy of you. Even if you are a man, his brother may not be able to see you. What's more, you are still a woman! Moreover, how much will this banquet be?" Luxurious and extravagant, people who come here are either rich or expensive. I believe you have also seen that what Gu Qiaoan has is something that you can't get if you work hard for a lifetime. Therefore, I kindly remind you, don't be deeply hurt by Gu Qiaoan. Come on, regret it again, at that time, you will only suffer a hundred times more than now!"

Liu Xueyin's words pierced into Xia Qingning's heart like a poisonous thorn, so why didn't she understand this truth.

However, she has never dared to admit it.

Now that Liu Xueyin said it so bluntly, it was the first time in her life that she felt so ashamed, because she was right.

She really doesn't deserve it.

Gu Qiaoan was just planning to play with her, but she still really likes her. After seeing that girl, she was suddenly shaken!

However, she must not show this kind of thinking in front of Liu Xueyin.

"If your purpose today is to make me realize this, then congratulations, you succeeded, and I understand it too! So are you satisfied now?"

The smile on Xia Qingning's face was a bit bleak, and Liu Xueyin felt a little distressed, but it was useless to feel distressed now, she knew that she would not accept her love.

"I'm telling you this for your own good!"

"Then can I go now?" Xia Qingning looked at her expressionlessly, waiting for her answer.

Liu Xueyin forcibly suppressed the impatience in her heart, and said,

"Not yet." After finishing speaking, she looked up at the stage, saw that the celebration ceremony was over, and Gu Yichen had also stepped off the stage, so she turned her head and warned Xia Qingning,

"I'll leave for a while, before you come back, you are not allowed to leave here, otherwise, you know the consequences."

Leaving those words behind, Liu Xueyin seemed to leave in peace.

Xia Qingning, who stayed where she was, felt a little buzzing in her head. She squeezed the wine glass with one hand and rubbed her temples with the other, hoping to relieve the pain.

At this time, Gu Yichen, after completing the celebration ceremony like in previous years, walked off the stage happily.

This year should be the happiest birthday he has ever had, because An An finally began to accept him gradually.

Looking up, he saw a familiar figure leaning against him on the second floor. He grabbed a glass of wine, then strode upstairs and stood beside him.

"It can be seen that you are very happy today!" Although Zhang Shaojun didn't look at him, he still gave such a judgment.

Gu Yichen patted his shoulder, smiled and said,

"It's not like you haven't seen the scene just now. Tell me, how can I be unhappy?"

Only then did Zhang Shaojun turn his head leisurely, and the light above his head hit his bright glasses, flashing a strange light.

"Sometimes, I think you are quite a failure. After so many years, you can't even handle your own sister. How can you get married in the future?"
