Chapter 123
Passing through the delicately carved wooden door, there are famous paintings hanging on both sides of the wide porch, and the chandeliers arranged on the top emit dim yellow light, leading the guests into the gorgeous hall.

Looking from top to bottom, the big stone clock representing power and luxury blooms in the center of the hall, the melodious music fills the villa, the food and wine are lined up, and every place is filled with the luxury and elegance of the upper class.

To say that the only discordant factor is probably a certain woman who wants to hide in a corner and eat dessert silently.

The beauties who are dressed in fine clothes and wandering in the middle of the dance floor with their male companions are not as gorgeous as her. She stands upright in front of the window, leaning against the dark flannel curtains, which makes her skin whiter and attracts countless eyes.

"Really, tell me not to get in touch with men, but I ran to find flowers and ask willows by myself!" Muttering, stuffing pink macarons into his mouth, Jian Xi pouted, staring at the man in the middle of the crowd with sharp eyes. Chi Yichen, he was chatting and joking with the lady of a high-ranking official.

No matter how outstanding the people around him were, they still couldn't stop the dazzling light emanating from him. With every gesture, people couldn't help but focus on him.

Before she swallowed the food, Jian Xi saw a circle of men in suits around her as soon as she regained her senses. She was so frightened that she almost choked. She hurriedly raised her glass and drank the champagne. A dignified and elegant smile.

After all, it's Mrs. Chi, she can't lose Chi Yichen's face.

"I heard that Mrs. Chi is magnificent, today is really a glimpse." The man who rushed to the front showed a flirtatious smile, gently raised her thin hand, and bent down to put his lips on it.

Quickly move your pig's mouth away from my old lady!A certain woman growled in her heart, but had to smile shyly on the bright side.

"Congratulations, you are so handsome." Ignoring the slight embarrassment in everyone's eyes, Jian Xi walked towards Chi Yichen through the noisy crowd.

However, before taking a few steps, she was quickly surrounded again, "Since Mr. Chi is so busy, why don't Mrs. Chi dance with me?"

Turning his head and squinting, it was that frivolous man again.Even so, there is still a rich man's brass smell in his gestures.

Xue Cheng, the youngest son of the second son of the Xue family, one of the four major families in the capital, is 24 years old. He is already a well-known vagabond in the capital.

This banquet was hosted by his uncle Xue Qi, so it's no wonder he dared to be so crazy. From the moment Jian Xi entered the venue, he followed closely behind. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was interested in Jian Xi.

After all, she was attending as Mrs. Chi. Jian Xi had checked the information of many high-ranking officials and dignitaries before she came. Anyway, when soldiers came to block her, and water came to cover her, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Whoever comes is just asking for a fight.

She suddenly smiled sweetly, immediately amazed those who saw it.The fat-skinned jade arm slowly stretched out, and when he was about to touch Xue Cheng's palm, he immediately showed a smug smile, knowing that women are so easy to deceive.

However, the woman just poked his palm with her fingertips, itching.

"Don't play with fire lightly, be careful to play too big and catch yourself on fire." She smiled so softly, but the eyes she glanced at him were filled with endless coldness.

Jian Xi was about to turn around, but unexpectedly, a hand was stretched out from behind to wrap around her slender waist, and pulled her into the arms of the man.A certain woman turned her face and met the man's starry eyes as deep as swirls.

He pressed his thin lips to her ear and whispered, "I've only been away for a while, and you're hooking up with little fresh meat everywhere."

What about him?Didn't you also hook up with everyone's ladies?Although he was slandering in his heart, Jian Xi knew that raising the bar would only make his death worse, so he could only shake his head resentfully and pouted.

Holding her waist, leading her all the way into the crowd, away from the group of fresh meat, the stone in the man's heart fell heavily. It is true that today will be very difficult.

Bring her to the Xue family and introduce Jian Xi to them.

"This is my wife, Jian Xi. She is shy of strangers. If there is anything wrong, please forgive me." With lowered eyebrows and downcast eyes, there was endless doting, her tone was neither humble nor overbearing, but she was polite.

Xue Qi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that a young man in his thirties could have such courage, and it's no wonder he had such a high achievement.

Except for a certificate, Jian Xi has never realized that she is actually a married woman. She is still a little dazed after hearing his reminder today.

In this way, her status has always been the main wife, so why did she fight with those women before?

Raising her hand to cover the smile on her mouth, she raised her eyes slightly, only to find that Mrs. Xue's eyes were fixed on the man beside her. Although her demeanor was dignified and her face was smiling, her narrowed eyes were cold.

Although her attitude was so good from the beginning to the end, Jian Xi always felt that this woman was not an ordinary person, and there was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Sheng'er, why did you show up? Your mother was driving me crazy, and you did the same to me!" the woman roared hysterically. Come out vulgar.

How many years did it take a woman to package herself as a high-class lady, but as soon as she was mentioned, a woman would immediately collapse.

Seen from her perspective, she huddled in a corner, trembling all over, raised her hand to stroke her cheek, but did not touch her tears.I can't tell what I'm feeling at the moment, whether it's because I'm so scared that I forgot to cry, or I've already cried my tears dry.

This was just a dream of Jian Xi, she didn't know why she remembered it at this moment, probably because Mrs. Xue was a bit like the woman in the dream?
Shaking his head selfishly, how is it possible?Mrs. Xue's demeanor is so dignified, it's the opposite of that woman.

"Jian Xi, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?" The steady voice resounding in her ears interrupted Jian Xi's thoughts, she came back to her senses, and looked around intently, the Xues were still standing in front of them.

She shook her head, trying to pull herself together.

Mrs. Xue raised the goblet, raised her hand slightly, and then brought it to her mouth to take a sip, her movements were quite dignified and elegant.

Compared with her pretentiousness, Jian Xi really liked Xue Cheng beside her better, he drank the champagne quite casually, and started to leave. "Talk slowly, I'll go out and blow some air."

Where can the wind be blown here?Jian Xi was excited, she was bored enough to stay here, if she could go out for a walk, she would definitely be able to revive with full blood.

"Uncle...Mr. Xue, can I go out with you to have some wind? It's a little stuffy here." A certain woman covered her mouth and smiled dryly, she almost reached out and grabbed Xue Qi's waistband.

Chi Yichen glanced at her, but remained silent.

Although it's a little rude, but after all, I feel sorry for her. It's really inhumane to lock up a woman who is like a wind here, so let her go.In addition, if he can leave here, he doesn't have to worry about her being attacked by other men.

Xue Qi turned his head and glanced at her suspiciously, only to see a pair of clear eyes staring at him for a long time without any impurities.

In a trance, he remembered a banquet more than ten years ago, when he was still a handsome young man, holding the amiable her in his arms, and she stuck to his ear, whispering. "Can we go out and have some air? It's so stuffy in here."

The splendor and luxury did not make her happy, but bored instead.He was a little surprised, but more pampered, "Okay, our baby will do whatever he wants."

I haven't thought of these things for so many years. At the beginning, I deliberately blocked them, but now because of this strange woman, I suddenly remembered them all. The suspicious eyes of the man suddenly turned into a puddle of tenderness.

Stretching out his hand, he looked at her kindly and smiled lightly. "Okay, I think Mrs. Chi will get along well with me."

The woman frowned when she heard the words. No matter how she tried to please him in the past, she never got any charity from him. Now the young girl just said something casually, and he changed to this attitude.

Could it be because of the other party's youthful beauty?
He caressed his cheeks unconsciously, even though the heavy makeup covered up many shortcomings, but as long as the arc of the smile was slightly wider, the traces of the years would spring up like mushrooms after rain.

She is not young after all.

After getting his permission, Jian Xi still didn't forget to turn around and pat Chi Yichen on the shoulder, smiling quite smartly.

"Don't mess with me, or you will know the consequences." She silently raised her fist, showing a fierce expression.However, he soon changed into that happy look, and followed Xue Qi in a desperate manner, followed him all the way up to the second floor of the villa, and disappeared at the right corner.

As soon as she left, Chi Yichen could immediately feel that the eyes around her were much less.The high society looks elegant and noble, but it is actually much dirtier than the lives of ordinary people.

Lover - almost every rich man's pastime.As unfeminine as Chi Yichen, apart from Xue Qi, there is no third person in the social circle.

Because of this, he dared to rest assured that Jian Xi would go with Xue Qi.

"See you later." He raised his goblet to touch hers, nodded and raised his eyes, then turned and walked towards the others, his movements were neat and crisp.

After the man left, Mrs. Xue put away her smile, covered the coldness of her delicate mouth with a goblet, and searched the crowd with eyes like cold arrows, as if she was looking for her own shield.

After knowing that Sheng'er is dead, he can still be as calm as he is now, he is really not an ordinary person.

However, if let him know that the person who once disappeared before his eyes appeared in front of him in another form, I don't know how he would feel.

"This scene will probably be fun." She smiled softly, but her eyes were sharper than swords.

At the same time, a certain woman who was still blowing air on the balcony of the study on the second floor sneezed lightly, and Xue Qi immediately handed her a paper.

"Have you caught a cold?" He took off his coat and was about to put it on for her, but she waved her hand and refused.

Looking up, the pupils are clear, twinkling like stars in the sky. "The cold wind might be able to blow off the smell of copper on my body, so don't stop me." She was fed up with the pretentiousness of the upper class.

If you don't mean it, you don't want to make the man stunned.

Jian Xi is so much like her...
