"You just said it, and I heard it with my own ears."

Shi Yao did not look at Xia Qingqing who was talking, but looked at Xia's parents calmly.

Seeing that they just frowned, there was no extra emotion in their eyes.

Then he slowly took out his cell phone: "Are you sure you heard what I said?"

Xia Qingqing stared at what she was holding, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously looked toward the corner, but he didn't see that figure, and he became even more anxious.

"I, I just heard it."

When the Xia family's parents saw her lack of confidence, they understood what had happened.

"Qingqing, apologize quickly." Mrs. Xia had a straight face and had already made a decision in her heart.

We will send people back home tonight.

If you continue to stay here, sooner or later you will cause unnecessary trouble!

"Cousin, I..."

Xia Qingqing felt that she was losing face and wanted to say something else.

After meeting the look flashing in the woman's eyes, he immediately stopped talking.

"I know, I'll tell you right now."

She bowed to Shi Yao unwillingly, gritted her teeth and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Shi Yao didn't speak, staring coldly at the perfunctory Xia Qingqing: "Apologise, it's best to look like you're apologizing."

The reason why she was so strong was that she noticed several unfriendly eyes falling on her even before she stepped into the venue.

When Xia Qingqing first came over, she could have driven them away directly.

She was just worried that others would come to find trouble, so Shi Yao stopped her movements.

Let Xia Qingqing find trouble for herself here.

"Shi Yao, don't go too far!" Xia Qingqing warned in a low voice, glaring at her fiercely.

Shi Yao curled her lips, "Mrs. Xia..."

Before she could say the next words, she heard Xia Qingqing anxiously shouting: "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong!"

After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, her face turned red and she pushed away the crowd and ran out.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xia rubbed her brows helplessly and signaled the servant to follow her so that nothing else happened.

"Miss Shi, I'm really sorry. This niece of mine...well, but An Tong is on her way here. I'll ask her to show you the jade soon and see if there's anything you like."

Shi Yao still respected Mrs. Xia very much.

"Mrs. Xia, there's no need to be so polite. Miss Xia also drank too much. I won't take it to heart."

Mrs. Xia had to entertain other guests, so she left after saying a few words.

Seeing the crowd disperse, Shen Chenyuan finally said, "Do you want to go back?"

Seeing the man's eyes falling on her stained clothes, Shi Yao smiled and said, "No, I still want to see An Tong. It looks good this way."

It was too plain before, but now it looks much better.

Hearing this, Shen Chenyuan didn't insist anymore.

After giving Li Liang a few words of advice, he returned to Mr. Xia and followed others to discuss further jade cooperation plans with partners.

Shi Yao looked towards the corner with vague eyes, thinking about the look in Xia Qingqing's eyes just now.

And she deliberately mentioned some words about the partners.

It was as if someone specifically told her to say these words in front of so many people!

"Both Mr. Shen and Mr. Xia have just cooperated, right? Before Shen Chenyuan cooperated, were there many competing partners?"

When Li Liang saw Shi Yao suddenly asking about this matter, he was stunned for a moment and then explained the situation. "What Xia Qingqing said just now, it's impossible that Mr. Xia won't have a grudge in his heart."

"So you have to remind Mr. Shen to be careful lately."

After Shi Yao finished taking a bite of the cake, she felt it was a little tasteless and put it down silently.

"Madam, you can definitely remind Mr. Shen that you and Mr. Shen have really reconciled."

Li Liang said this after careful consideration.

Seeing that the woman had no reaction, she sighed secretly.

Meanwhile, the back garden.

Xia Qingqing wiped the tears on her face and yelled at the maid who was following behind her: "Get out of here, I don't need you to follow me!"

The maid also knew her temper and turned to leave.

After everyone left, a woman wearing a slit dress appeared in front of Xia Qingqing.

"Xia Antong, are you fucking using me as a gunman?"

Xia Antong looked at Xia Qingqing, whose makeup was stained by tears, with a trace of disgust in her eyes.

On his face, he sighed helplessly: "I didn't do this just to make you vent your anger. That's why I thought of this method. Who told you not to do what I said? Wouldn't there be trouble?"

She took out a tissue and handed it to Xia Qingqing, but was suddenly knocked aside!

Feeling the pain coming from the back of her hand, Xia Antong's eyes flashed with irritation.

Really... too many smiles!

"Then why didn't you tell me that the person who sent you back was Shi Yao!"

"I think you guys are colluding to get me, right?"

"Xia Antong, luckily I thought you were innocent, but I didn't expect you to be really good at pretending!"

Xia Qingqing finally understood that she was being plotted.

The eyes he looked at the woman in front of him were also filled with disgust.

She spoke accusingly, not noticing the annoyance and coldness gradually creeping into Xia Antong's eyes.

"Xia Antong, you said that if I told Shi Yao what happened today, you..."

Xia Qingqing thought she had a handle on the other party, and was just trying to get something with pride.

Before she could finish her words, someone grabbed her by the neck!

Only then did she notice Xia Antong's terrifying eyes that sent chills down her spine.

The suffocating feeling coming from her neck made Xia Qingqing panic and want to pull the woman's hand away.

"Xia... Xia Antong, you can't do this to me. If something happens to me here, you... won't be able to escape."

The next second, Xia Qingqing was thrown heavily to the ground.

Before she could react, a heartbreaking pain came from the back of her hand.

Xia Antong even looked at her with a soft smile, but the slender heels of the high heels stepped hard on the back of Xia Qingqing's hand.

The whole person looks like a crazy person!

"Xia Qingqing, if you don't want to be sent back by my mother, you'd better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I don't know if you will do something."

After Xia Antong finished speaking, he ignored the woman who was screaming in pain on the ground and wiped the blood on the heel of her shoe irritably.

Then she picked up her skirt and walked towards the exhibition.

Xia Qingqing fainted from the pain, but the maid who was passing by found her and quickly called an ambulance.

This news naturally reached Shi Yao's ears.

A flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and just as she was about to ask something, she saw Xia Antong standing cautiously not far away, her well-behaved look making people feel a little distressed.

"An Tong, why are you standing here by yourself?"

When Shi Yao walked over and took Xia Andong's hand, she discovered that there seemed to be a shallow scratch on her arm.
