Si Han was in his office watching the live broadcast of the press conference. There was no helping it, his grandparents didn't allow him to be there. The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise as he heard what was going on.
Although he had already made up his mind, he didn't think that his grandma would specially hold a press conference to let Xiao Tong officially marry into the Si Family. How could he not be excited?
However, that woman, Xiao Tong, still refused to tell him why she went to the restaurant with Xi Yan. Even though he trusted her, he couldn't help but feel displeased.
The man called Xi Yan was too arrogant and acted like he didn't care about the world. He just couldn't like him and secretly didn't want Xiao Tong to get too close to that man.
Fortunately, the press conference was over, and the man should have found out what kind of woman he couldn't touch. Thinking of the marriage next month, Si Han could not conceal the joy on his face.
The Si Family, Si Qiong, and Xia Qiu Ling were also watching the press conference. The old mistress had not appeared in front of the media for so many years, so they naturally cared about what she said at the press conference. Furthermore, the two old men didn't allow them to follow them to the scene. How could they be at ease with this?
"The old lady actually announced their marriage without even discussing it with us! This is too much! " Si Jiaquan could not help but heavily pat the sofa. He was so angry that he immediately stood up, his brows tightly knitted together as he gasped for breath.
Seeing this, Xia Qiu Ling also quickly stood up, gently patting Si Qiong's back. She took the opportunity to express her dissatisfaction, "Calm down first, it's not worth it to ruin your body! But, I have to say, the old gramps really didn't do this properly. Let's not talk about me. I know that the old gramps and the old granny have always looked down on me. After all, you are the real father of Sihan, and you should always agree to matters of marriage. Furthermore, what kind of virtue or virtue does Xiao Tong have? Who can say for sure? The previous incident had caused such a huge ruckus, yet she didn't manage to investigate it thoroughly, and now she wanted to marry her in such a rash manner. This was too unreasonable! Also, Si Han has an engagement with the Miss of the Bai Clan, and our Si Clan is a friend of the Bai Clan. This matter, no matter what, should first pass the anger of the Bai Clan, or else how would the face of the Bai Clan be left? How should we deal with our relationship with the Bai Family and our business dealings? "
As Xia Qiuling was giving Si Qiong a comfortable feeling, she was also blowing the wind out of his ears. This was exactly the right thing to do as he said. Si Qiong had truly taken her words to heart.
"The power of the Empire did not like that woman, Xiao Tong. As such, the disgust in my heart increased by a few points." I must discuss this matter with the old gramps or I will not easily accept Xiao Tong as my daughter-in-law! "
"Alright, alright, alright. Come, drink some water first. Calm down, don't ruin your body!" Seeing that it was about time, Xia Qiu Ling did not say anything else and poured Si Qiong a cup of water to drink. The corner of his mouth curled up, revealing a smile of satisfaction. He quickly covered it up and returned to normal.
The next day, the weather was clear. The warm winter sun shone on her body, making her extremely comfortable. Xiao Tong was currently playing puzzle games with the glutinous rice.
At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed that it was Bai Hui Xin. She couldn't help but furrow her brows and let glutinous rice play by herself. She went to the side to answer the call …
"Hello, Miss Bai. Hello."
"Little Tong, why are you always so distant? I've already said it before, just call me Hui Xin!" Bai Hui Xin's voice sounded very warm, making Xiao Tong's hair stand on end. "Today's weather is so good, let's go out for a cup of tea and also celebrate your marriage to Si Han. I'm really happy for you!"
Hearing this, Xiao Tong's frown deepened. The weasel wished the chicken a happy new year. Even though Bai Hui Xin had been greeting her with a smile, Xiao Tong still couldn't believe that she was sincerely treating him well. Moreover, his grandma had just announced her marriage to Sihan at a press conference. The current Bai Hui Xin should hate her to the bone, so why would he take the initiative to invite her to tea?
"I'm sorry Miss Bai, I'm currently accompanying glutinous rice, I'm afraid it's not convenient." After thinking for a moment, Xiao Tong chose to reject her offer. After all, she wasn't close with Bai Hui Xin and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do, so it was better for her to be careful.
"Little Tong, are you not even willing to accompany me for my afternoon tea? "Are you worried that I will do something to you …" Bai Huexin's voice sounded incomparably wronged, as if she was about to cry. It was as if even through the phone, her tears could be seen.
"Of course not! "Miss Bai, you misunderstood, I just …" Xiao Tong was at a loss on what to do. She did not know how to respond. When she thought about how much of an impact she would bring to Bai Hui Xin if she married Si Han, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Forget it, what else could Bai Hui Xin do to her? It was just a cup of tea.
After a while, Xiao Tong slowly replied, "Okay, Miss Bai, please tell me the time and place. I will be there on time."
"Great, Little Tong! At 2 PM in the afternoon, at the Pei-qing Road, Fragrant Tea House, I won't be able to see you all the time! " Bai Hui Xin's tone changed by 180 degrees. In one breath, she said the time and place before hanging up, not giving Xiao Tong the chance to go back on his words.
"Sis, do you really not need my help?" Seeing Bai Hui Xin hang up, Bai Si, who was listening by the side, hurriedly said. She was still a little worried. It had to be known that this plan was extremely important to them. They couldn't afford to make any mistakes.
Just after he put away his phone, Bai Hui Xin's cold face returned. Hearing that, he gave Bai Si Si a casual glance and said lightly, "Don't worry, I will definitely ensure the perfect implementation of the plan. "One more person would increase Xiao Tong's vigilance. You better stay here and wait for my news."
"Alright then." Bai Sisi felt that Bai Hui Xin hated her for standing in his way, and couldn't help but curse her in her heart. However, she could only listen to Bai Hui Xin's arrangements.
Afternoon, at the Fragrant Sky teahouse.
Bai Huexin had been waiting for a long time. She was dressed like usual in an exquisite and dignified manner, revealing the demeanor of a lady from head to toe.
She found a window seat and sat down. She ordered tea and pastries and waited patiently for the bait to catch.
At two o'clock sharp, Xiao Tong appeared at the entrance of the teahouse on time. With a glance, he saw the beautiful and elegant Bai Hui Xin by the window. "I'm sorry, did I make you wait for long?"
"Of course not, Little Tong is very punctual. I came early." When Bai Hui Xin saw Xiao Tong, she showed a generous smile and invited her to sit down before pouring her a cup of tea.
