Chapter 372: Going to dinner with the fourth brother

Chapter 372 Dinner with the fourth brother

Not long after receiving the invitation, Murong Qiao knocked on the door of the fourth brother Yanxiu.

"What's the matter?" Yanxiu opened the door and asked her.

There is still some gray on his body, which looks like a pencil gray color, it seems that he was still painting just now.

Murong Qiao took out the invitation card, "Cough...the engagement invitation card from the Ruan family belongs to Ruan Ying, fourth brother, do you want to go?"

"The Ruan family?" Yanxiu repeated.

His eyes fell on the gold-plated invitation card in his sister's hand, and he was silent for a long time without remembering who Ruan Ying was.

After thinking about it for a long time but unable to remember, Yanxiu who simply gave up turned his gaze to Murong Qiao again. Seeing her hesitant expression, the words he originally wanted to refuse stopped on his lips.

Brother and the others are not here, and it is the engagement of the Ruan family again...

Yanxiu thought a little more about it, and even had the scene of Murong Qiao being bullied if he went to the engagement alone in his mind.

Murong Qiao was not sure about Yanxiu, so he stood at the door and could only wait for his reply.

"I'll go." Yanxiu agreed in a strange way.

With the others absent, he couldn't let Murong Qiao go alone.

Murong Qiao was originally mentally prepared to go alone, but he didn't expect to turn around and hear the voice of the fourth brother agreeing.

"Then... good." She abruptly turned the words back.

Yanxiu didn't say much when he saw this, "If there is nothing else, I will continue to design."

The design in his hand is just halfway through, and inspiration waits for no one.

Murong Qiao naturally had nothing to say, nodded and saw the fourth brother Yanxiu shut the door, and there was no movement inside.

Staring at the tightly closed door for a while, Murong Qiao also collected his mood and returned to his room.

The engagement banquet must not be ambiguous, she represents the entire Murong family.

As soon as the time turned to the date of the invitation, although the banquet was scheduled for the evening, most people arrived early and socialized with each other in twos and threes, which became the home of many businessmen.

Since Huo Xiuyuan was the protagonist, he came to the banquet hall early and began to greet everyone.

On the other hand, Huo Yichen followed Huo Hong to the scene, but after all, it was the Huo family, which attracted a lot of attention as soon as he entered.

"congratulations…"

"This kind of happy event should be well blessed..."

Many people gathered around, all of them were flattering people who took the opportunity to curry favor with Huo Hong.

Huo Yichen excused himself to go to the bathroom and left Huo Hong's side first. After all, he was just pretending to be a fool with everyone there. Then his eyes fell on the crowded crowd at the banquet, and he "coincidentally" met Murong Qiao who was not far away. line of sight.

"..." Murong Qiao's eyes slightly curved.

She didn't speak, but looked at Huo Yichen from a distance to confirm each other's existence, then smiled silently, and stood beside fourth brother Yanxiu holding a wine glass to weaken her sense of existence.

Because of Huo Hong's presence, the two of them couldn't be too close.

Huo Yichen suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and when he was about to look away and turn to leave, he was blocked by a figure.

"What's the matter? It's happening in reverse now?" Huo Xiuyuan looked at him proudly.

Huo Yichen looked back blankly, "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Nowadays there are so many people, his words and deeds are likely to be watched by others, Huo Yichen is so cautious that he can't tell the truth.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just come to my engagement." Huo Xiuyuan laughed, "After all, we are together in a fair and honest way."

The latter sentence, he almost said it in a volume so weak that only he and Huo Yichen could hear it clearly.

Huo Xiuyuan smiled playfully, and pretended to casually glance at Murong Qiao in another place.

Seeing that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao seemed to be strangers at this moment, he couldn't be happier.

"Who is this fair and honest saying for?" Huo Yichen did not lose the wind.

He looked threateningly in Ruan Ying's direction. The little girl was innocently standing next to Ruan's parents, greeting people she knew, and didn't notice Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen's situation for a moment.

Huo Xiuyuan's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

Huo Yichen's words made Huo Xiuyuan a little apprehensive, but the engagement was so close that it was a sure bet. After Huo Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, he decided that Huo Yichen's bluff was sour.

Combined with his hesitation for a while, Ruan Ying seemed to be looking towards Huo Xiuyuan faintly, which made him even more determined not to let Huo Yichen and Ruan Ying meet.

"I'm very busy today, so I don't have time to chat with you." Huo Xiuyuan said coldly.

Even if there is only a little risk of overturning, he will not allow it.

Huo Xiuyuan turned around and walked away. After walking a few steps, he met Ruan Ying who was walking towards him.

"Xiuyuan?" Ruan Ying called him, "Who is that?"

Huo Xiuyuan raised a gentle smile, "It's not someone important."

He said it in one sentence, and at the same time blocked Ruan Ying's curious gaze at Huo Yichen with his body.

Although Huo Xiuyuan didn't want to admit it, he was really afraid that Ruan Ying would have other thoughts after seeing Huo Yichen.

For example... falling in love with Huo Yichen.

Thinking of this possibility, Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, a hint of irritability flashed across his eyes, he stretched out his hand to wrap around Ruan Ying's body and forcibly turned the other side's vision.

"Speaking of which, I haven't met your family very much..." Huo Xiuyuan made up an excuse and took Ruan Ying away.

From the beginning to the end, every scene from Huo Xiuyuan talking with Huo Yichen to Ruan Ying being taken away without knowing it was all caught by Murong Qiao who was standing by.

She covered the sarcasm in her eyes by looking down at the wine glass. After watching Huo Xiuyuan's performance for a while, she had to admit that he was not tired of living so much.

"...I'm going to the bathroom." The fourth brother Yanxiu beside him suddenly said.

The unbearable tone and the frowning look on his face showed that he was very irritable at the moment.

In such a noisy environment, the boiling human voices almost filled his brain, making it extremely noisy.

Murong Qiao was taken aback for a moment before he realized, "Okay."

She nodded, and then saw the fourth brother walking towards the corridor beside him. Although his face was calm, Murong Qiao always felt that he was a little impatient from his footsteps?

Reminiscent of the fourth brother's somewhat "social fear" character, Murong Qiao probably guessed that he is not suitable for such occasions.

"Are you also looking for Yanxiu?" A haughty female voice suddenly fell in Murong Qiao's ear.

The arrogance revealed in the other party's tone made Murong Qiao subconsciously displeased.

She frowned, then turned around, "Also?"

She repeated the other party's words, and at the same time saw the other party's appearance clearly.

Looking at a woman in her thirties, she was wearing a black regular dress and her face was so thickly made up that no one knew what to say. The look in Murong Qiao's eyes was also hostile, and the overall feeling was uncomfortable.

"I advise you to save time." The woman sneered.

She seemed to take Murong Qiao's rhetorical question as the default meaning, and looked at Murong Qiao from top to bottom, as if she wanted to cut her inside.

The woman carried her expensive limited bag, "We have been discussing the cooperation of Yanxiu for a long time."

The tone of the voice was as sure as a certainty, but Murong Qiao only felt that this person was inexplicable.

"It's been a long time since you said that you haven't reported your family background. How can such an uneducated person have the guts to talk about cooperation?" Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You!" The woman was angry.

Fortunately, she signed up afterwards, "Tang Sha."

The two short words made her pronounce it arrogantly.

Murong Qiao searched through his few memories, but found no information about this person.

Probably someone irrelevant, she judged in her heart.
