Chapter 340
Dressing up to attend family banquets has always been an unwritten rule in the upper class, but Jian Xi disliked it being too troublesome, so he just broke it.

She was wearing a plain skirt, her face was facing the sky, her hair was pulled back into a high ponytail, she was pulling on a pair of rattan sandals, holding a fan in her hand, and followed Chi Yichen to the family banquet.

Compared with her, he was wearing a neat suit as usual, and the exquisite and close-fitting tailoring made his figure even taller, which was in stark contrast to Jian Xi's slovenliness.

The point is, he actually likes her outfit very much, "It's much better than your previous Christmas tree-like outfits."

"Nimma, you didn't tell me that I was dressed like a Christmas tree before." Jian Xi retorted unceremoniously, raised his hand and pawed him on the face. He is also good-tempered in this regard, and let her mess around Not angry either.

Anyway, after going back, she knew what it means to challenge the position of the head of the family. The tragic consequences.

In fact, when he said this, he just didn't want her to dress so beautifully and become the target of those men. If possible, he would rather she not attend any activities, so that no one would fall in love with her.

He has this kind of self-control, so he's not worried, but she, he's not sure.

Selfish and stingy, he is this kind of man, and he never denied it.

There was a lot of noise along the way, and it was hard to get out of the car. Jianxi's refreshing hairstyle had been blown into corn heads by the northwest wind, and she looked like a crazy woman. Like a look.

Chi Jinnian greeted her as soon as she got out of the car. He also liked her to dress more naturally, regardless of the rules of high society.

"Daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful today." He squinted his eyes and smiled with a sincere attitude. Jianxi suddenly burst into joy, and nodded repeatedly to express that he could no longer agree. She is shameless and invincible in the world. She is invincible.

The people standing by were not feeling well, especially Jian Jia, who was also a woman. She attended today in all her attire, but she still couldn't get a word of praise from Chi Jinnian. On the contrary, Jian Xi didn't do anything, and she enjoyed countless compliments .

But she was not in the mood to ridicule, these days she was too tired, she almost used up all her energy, even Chi Tianyou went out to steal food, she chose to turn a blind eye, doing so made him a lot better.

But she didn't know when such a day would be the end.

Jian Jia didn't say a word, but Chi Zhaoye couldn't help but sarcasm from the sidelines, "Dad really looks like a beauty in the eyes of a father-in-law. It's considered beautiful when dressed like this. That sow can also be a phoenix."

"Some people's taste is too low and they insist on coming out to embarrass themselves. This can be considered wise, and the second brother can be considered smart." Chi Yichen threw back the words without any hesitation.

Compared with a poisonous tongue, Chi Zhaoye was far behind.

Regarding their verbal battle, Jian Xi could only express her confusion from the beginning to the end. She just didn't expect that Chi Qingfeng would also help to speak, "Actually, I think Jian Xi is really beautiful in this dress."

You must know that he never joined the war between them before, because he was afraid of getting himself into unnecessary trouble.

It's rare to stand up and speak now, but for Jianxi, it's really incredible.

She turned her head to look at Chi Yichen, he didn't look at her, but fixedly stared at Chi Qingfeng, his thin lips were slightly white, it seemed that he also didn't appreciate Chi Qingfeng's praise.

They stood at the door for a long time, until the servants came out and asked them to come in for dinner, the awkward atmosphere was broken and melted instantly.

Pretending to be calm, he followed the crowd in, and then walked around into the dining hall. As soon as Jian Xi took his seat, he saw Chi Qingfeng, who was sitting diagonally opposite, winked at her, meaning to let her go out with him.

"Oh, I suddenly want to drink milk, I can get it myself." Jian Xi stood up suddenly, pushed the chair away, and rushed out of the cafeteria, while Chi Qingfeng also stood up at the same time.

He didn't need a reason for leaving the table, he just left, because in this family, no one cared where he went.

Although Jian Xi agreed to talk to him, it doesn't mean that she has no suspicion at all. Just in case, she stopped at the door of the corridor on the right and waited for him to come out. Let's talk here?"

Her attitude was straightforward, and he didn't bother with her.

In fact, it was because of Mrs. Xue's matter. Chi Qingfeng knew that he couldn't hide it, and he didn't intend to hide it anymore, so he asked her straight to the point, "You know Mrs. Xue is going to divorce Xue Qi recently, right?"

He had no way of contacting her, and no matter what she tried, she refused to meet him.

Even when he used his last trump card to threaten her, she was unwilling to give in, her attitude was tough, and she could feel that she had found a strong backer, otherwise, how dare she treat him like this?

Don't forget that he knows all her secrets.

Chi Qingfeng was so nervous that Jianxi thought that something big was going to happen, but she didn't expect that it was because of Mrs. Xue. She immediately lost interest and leaned her shoulders against the wall with a lazy expression.

"I was about to leave, but uncle changed his mind at the last moment. I think Mrs. Xue gave him some kind of sweetness." She said, with the corners of her mouth curled up, her face full of vigor without makeup, and her eyes sparkling.

He couldn't bear her eyes, as soon as he saw them, the memories would be uncontrollable, and all his energy would come out.

But now he cares more about Mrs. Xue than this. He thought that she was suffering just like him, but he didn't expect that woman to betray him and even betray him.

He knew that woman better than anyone else, she must have negotiated terms with Xue Qi based on his affairs.

"That bitch dared to betray me. I can't forgive her. I'm going to kill her." He gritted his teeth and paused every word when he spoke, with a strong nasal voice, as if he really wanted to tear Mrs. Xue into pieces.

The anger overwhelmed him so much that he even forgot to pretend and showed it in front of Jian Xi.

But Jian Xi is no longer surprised. After these few times, she has seen what it means to be a man with a face like a beast, and she is talking about people like Chi Qingfeng.

She remained silent until he realized that something was wrong, and then she responded to him, "What, I thought you knew? It's really terrible, Mrs. Xue doesn't take you seriously at all."

"Okay, stop talking, let's go in, we will be suspected if we are late." Chi Qingfeng interrupted her, now he was not in the mood to joke with her, after finishing speaking, he turned and walked back, while Jian Xi remained motionless .

Don't make it seem like she did something bad behind Chi Yichen's back, she's not that boring.

People really want to drink milk before agreeing to come out, muttering, Jianxi turned and walked to the kitchen.

After she returned to the cafeteria, the extremely embarrassing atmosphere gradually became active. Otherwise, everyone would put on a dead face, and those who didn't know would think it was a funeral.

"You don't know, after the Xue family's maid disappeared, no one has been willing to come to the door, so the uncle can only spend a lot of money to recruit." Jian Xi pulled out all the things she had heard, and after speaking, he boldly picked up the milk and drank it A few mouthfuls.

Chi Yichen on the side calmly reached out and patted her head as a reward, while lowering his head and chewing carefully, with a calm expression.

Thanks to his training, Jian Xi has now finally learned to restrain himself - just drink milk when he wants to drink.

In fact, she was not an alcoholic in the first place, but when she drank alcohol, she lost touch. To be on the safe side, he forced her to learn this skill.

And Chi Jinnian also laughed and toasted her milk with juice. Only when Jian Xi was around would he laugh like a little old man.

"And then? Has the murderer been caught now?"

Putting down the bottle, Jian Xi shook her head, she hadn't drunk, but her face was flushed, her eyes were blurred, her expression was lazy, and she was limp, "Don't say murderer, now people don't even know whether they are dead or alive." I know, but the police preliminarily determined that the person had been killed."

When encountering such a difficult case, the atmosphere in the bureau is very dignified. Compared with a murder case, everyone would rather investigate the drug lord's lair.

But this is an inevitable responsibility after all, and this responsibility naturally falls on Jian Xi.

She just sent Jian Ce to prison not long ago, so she was highly praised for being stern and selfless, but she was not happy at all, and then she had to send the members of Chi's family to prison with her own hands.

How do you feel that as long as she is around, misfortune will happen?
However, Chi Jinnian still didn't know anything, he just asked casually, "Then have any criminal suspects been identified now?"

"Well..." Jian Xi looked embarrassed, and instinctively looked at Chi Qingfeng. He kept his head down and remained silent, ignoring her gaze.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. If Chi Yichen hadn't mentioned the work matters in time, Chi Jinnian would have noticed something wrong with Jian Xi's eyes sooner or later. He is smarter than a fox.

But just as he was talking about the cooperation between the four major families, old master Chi suddenly remembered something, chuckled, and interrupted him abruptly.

Probably because Jianxi is here, he is free today, he can say whatever he wants, without any consideration for other people's psychological shadow, as long as he and his daughter-in-law are happy.

He raised his hand and gestured for Chi Yichen to shut up, then turned his head to look at Jianxi, and said enthusiastically, "Speaking of the four major families, I heard that there was a scandal in a family recently, saying that a married woman and Widowers from other families cheated, who knew they were discovered, and they didn't know which family it was from, which ruined the atmosphere."

Chi Jinnian listened to it as a joke, but no one could laugh.

Especially Chi Qingfeng, his face flushed as if he had choked, coughed violently, his face was tangled up, and he seemed to be in pain.

After finally slowing down, he immediately stood up, lowered his head, and said in a deep voice, "I'm full, please enjoy slowly, and I'll take my leave first."

After all, he left quickly.Because I was walking in such a hurry, I didn't even know that I knocked down the chair.

"Hey, why do I feel like my elder brother is guilty of doing something bad?" Chi Zhaoye shot at this moment, putting his hands on the back of the chair, looking like a ruffian.

If it wasn't for Chi Jinnian who never listened carefully to this trash, this secret that wasn't a secret would definitely be impossible to hide.

Before Old Master Chi could react, Jian Xi immediately jumped out to interrupt, she smiled awkwardly, trying to divert her attention, "That's right, I don't know which family, at first I thought it was the second brother."

"I thought so too." Chi Jinnian echoed, finally smiling.

Now it was Chi Zhaoye's turn to froze.
