C712 For self-esteem

Moreover, Xiao Yi's words were very particular.

All he said was, I'm here with a friend. I didn't say that I was accompanying my friends to participate in this selection competition. If he said it like that, that would give Ma Ruilian the feeling that she was going through a backdoor.

It was as if he was saying to Ma Ruilian, "Your grandfather is here to select the most outstanding young painter." This is a friend who came to take part in your labor selection. Even if you don't look at the Buddhist Sangha, you should go through the back door.

And Xiao Yi had initially said to Ma Gelangsi righteously, "You are you, I am me. There is no relationship between the two of us." Back then, he had said everything that he could, so for his own pride, Xiao Yi had only said that he was here with a friend and did not go any further.

Ma Ruilian gave a seemingly careless "oh", then looked towards the gorgeous Zhang Yuan Yuan beside Xiao Yi, and said with a smile. "Hey, hello, I'm Ma Ruilian."

Zhang Yuan Yuan had been studying abroad for the past few years, so as a form of courtesy, she quickly replied, "Hi, hello. I'm Zhang Yuan Yuan."

After a short greeting, Ma Ruilian looked at Xiao Yi and laughed: Your girlfriend is so beautiful.

"Thank you." At this time, Xiao Yi was completely refreshed, and proud to the point that his nose was pointed towards the sky.

Unexpectedly, Ma Ruilian laughed and blurted out: "Oh yeah, you sure are diligent in changing girlfriends. Or, one taste a day, amazing! "

That day, at the SH Zoo, Ma Ruilian saw Lan Mei’er. With such a loving appearance, she must be her girlfriend without a doubt. Now, the woman beside Xiao Yi, was none other than Zhang Yuan Yuan. Ma Ruilian tried to ask. Your girlfriend is so beautiful, Xiao Yi did not hesitate to thank his. Imperceptibly, he had admitted the identity of Zhang Yuan Yuan's girlfriend.

Thus, Ma Ruilian started to mock Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi, who was looking up at the sky with his nose in the air a moment ago, had a dark expression on his face. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Looking at Ma Ruilian who had an innocent smile on his face, Xiao Yi suddenly said with a sigh: The more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous it is. The more innocent and innocent a woman was, the more evil she was.

However, Ma Ruilian looked at Xiao Yi's black face and remained silent. At this time, she laughed and said, "Alright, I'll go back to my work. Goodbye, Great Master Hu. "

Ma Ruilian brushed past Xiao Yi with a smile on her face, and walked forward a distance. She turned her head, and looked at Zhang Yuan Yuan who was by Xiao Yi's side. Then, her eyes landed on the picture scroll in Zhang Yuan Yuan's hands. The corners of her mouth formed a smile that was hard to understand, and she said softly, "Zhang Yuan Yuan."

In the end, Ma Ruilian's figure disappeared into the sea of people.

And at this time, Xiao Chaoran looked at Xiao Yi, his eyes opened wide, and asked woodenly: "Was that beautiful, emotional, and foreign girl just now your girlfriend again?"

In Xiao Chaoran's eyes, the woman around Xiao Yi was changing from one look to the other, dazzled even Xiao Chaoran. Now, seeing such a foreign girl, he asked with his eyes and mouth wide open.

Xiao Yi coughed dryly. With a dark expression, he opened his mouth and explained. "Friend, friend."

"Friends?" Zhang Yuan Yuan looked over warily, her tone was not friendly.

However, without waiting for Xiao Yi's explanation, Xiao Chaoran had already happily said from the side: "A girlfriend is also one of friends."

Immediately, Zhang Yuan Yuan's eyes became even more dangerous. She slowly walked towards Xiao Yi, who had a serious expression on his face.

Crack.

Suddenly, Zhang Yuan Yuan used the soles of her high heels to ruthlessly press onto Xiao Yi's feet. Her beautiful eyes burst with a dangerous light, coldly staring at Xiao Yi, and said sinisterly: "I'm telling you, Mei'er has told us all the women that are related to you right now. Furthermore, we will severely warn you that you absolutely cannot develop your harem again. This is the first time I've heard this Ma Ruilian's name. Xiao Yi, do you understand what I mean? "

Xiao Yi felt a heart-wrenching pain on his toes as large drops of cold sweat rolled down his forehead. Then, he suddenly roared out, "Xiao Chaoran, your sister!"

If Xiao Chaoran had not instigated this incident, it would not have developed to such a state.

Xiao Yi roared, and looked around. However, Xiao Chaoran had already gone to deal with this matter, and was hiding his skills and name. Now, where could he still see Xiao Chaoran's shadow?

Xiao Yi endured Zhang Yuan Yuan's overflowing anger and said a lot of good words. Finally, he swore in the name of his own master that he would ensure that he would not be related to Miss Ma Ruilian in any way, and that Zhang Yuan Yuan would not be related in any way in the future, which was why Zhang Yuan Yuan let him go.

After settling this matter, Xiao Yi secretly laughed, and said deep in his heart: "Oath, you can tell by these two words, they were words that you didn't intend to say, that's all. Besides, even a sow can climb a tree if a man's vow can be believed. Most of all, I swear it in the name of my master. Even if I really soak in Ma Ruilian, it's none of my business. If I really have to take revenge, I have to find that rotten old man Li Taibai. In any case, he's still an old man, let's see if I can kill him with the nine claps of thunder. "

Sigh, think about how wise Li Taibai was. It was a pity that they were unlucky to have accepted such a disciple...

At this time, Xiao Chaoran finally revealed himself. He cleared his throat and said lazily, "I went to the toilet. Oh right, since Miss Zhang is here to participate in the selection competition, we can register now. "

Hearing that, Xiao Yi immediately became angry, and angrily looked at Xiao Chaoran, and shouted: "Xiao Chaoran, go to your sister's toilet. Do you think I don't know where the toilet is? The toilet is on the right, and your sister ran out from the left.

Xiao Chaoran whose face had always been filled with spring wind, not panicking at all. At this moment, black lines appeared on his face. Looking at Xiao Yi who was baring his fangs, he laughed bitterly and spoke forcefully: "I went to the toilet on the right, and went to the corridor on the left to take a look at the scenery."

Xiao Yi chuckled as he looked at Xiao Chaoran, who had actually turned red from lying.

Xiao Chaoran stared blankly at them for a while, and then asked somewhat guiltily, "Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe you." Whether it was Zhang Yuan Yuan or Xiao Yi, both of them answered at the same time.

Hearing such an orderly and unified reply, Xiao Chaoran laughed awkwardly, "Actually, I don't believe it either."

When Xiao Yi and Zhang Yuan Yuan heard that Xiao Chaoran had overthrown themselves, they laughed till they fell. It seems that Xiao Chaoran's ability to lie was extremely weak.

If he were to tell a lie, he wouldn't even believe it. Then, how could anyone else believe it?

After the three teased for a while, Zhang Yuan Yuan followed the procedures and registered for the competition. After filling in her name, contact details, and family background information, she handed in a picture scroll that she was most satisfied with before finishing the process.

This was only the first selection, so it seemed like the procedure was quite simple.

However, the process of the first selection still took quite a bit of time. Because he had to put a lot of time on waiting in line. In the Nine Prefectures Tower, there was an endless line of young painter.

After Zhang Yuan Yuan completed all the procedures, he followed Xiao Yi and entered Xiao Chaoran's office. Next, she had to wait for the results of the preliminaries.

Foreigners do things with efficiency.

Ma Gelangsi held this time's selection, and the participants that carried out the evaluation were all thirty professional painters.

The results of the primary selection would be released wave by wave. Therefore, the anxious Zhang Yuan Yuan decided to wait for him at the Nine Prefectures Tower. The process of waiting, had finally obtained some benefits from Xiao Chaoran. After all, she did not need to sit in the crowded and noisy hall to wait.

Xiao Chaoran's office was on the top floor of the Nine Prefectures Tower. It was very quiet.

The fully automatic, fully adjustable sofa and the bright sunlight shining into the spacious office all gave people a sense of tranquility. There was also a potted plant in the office, which added a hint of fresh green.

Waiting in such a place was hundreds to thousands of times better than waiting in a crowded hall.

Zhang Yuan Yuan sat on the sofa nervously, looking worried.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Chaoran were sitting opposite of each other on a small table, drinking a good Tie Guanyin.

The tea smoke curled up in spirals, and the fragrance of the tea wafted in the air.

This time around, the Zuiyue Tea House was not interested in benefits. The two calmly took in the unique allure of Tie Guanyin.

Suddenly, Xiao Chaoran spoke out, interrupting a rare silence, "These days, I have pretty much finished taking care of most of the clan's matters. He really did put in great effort. From the looks of it, this wasn't a good thing. Big brother, I truly envy you. "

"What do I have to be envious of?" Xiao Yi smiled.

"Big brother, as the saying goes, life is like tea." At this time, Xiao Chaoran had a grave expression on his face as he slowly spoke, "In my opinion, I am like Tie Guanyin within this teacup. No matter how it moved, no matter how it moved, it was unable to escape the range of this teacup. The tea cup was like the Xiao Clan. It's my root, it's my whole world. "

"Then what about me?" Xiao Yi retracted the smile on his face and asked.

"Big brother, you don't look like tea. You look like an eagle." Xiao Chaoran looked up at Xiao Yi, and said sternly: "You and your master are the same, like an eagle in a mountain stream. They could fly freely, go to the peak of the white clouds, go to the mountains and rivers, and be free and unrestrained. In this world, there is no one who can restrain you. Your world is very big. You guys are just as exciting. "Unlike me, I'm focused on scheming, scheming, and benefits."

It was originally an unintentional exchange, but this made Xiao Yi even more determined. That was, he would never return to the Xiao family and would be in charge of the Xiao family. Even his father couldn't stand the scheming of a master from a large clan. If one day he took control of the family, wouldn't he have to worry about his reputation every day?
