Even with Li Ran at the front, he was still unable to stop the lady who wanted to get close to Shen Yeyan. If he didn't have this problem, then she would have become a song every night.
The unfriendly gazes from all directions shot towards Qiao Xi. Shen Ye calmly brought her upstairs.
The room upstairs was filled with men talking loudly. Shen Yeyan also noticed. He only brought Li Ran in and told her to wait downstairs.
Qiao Xi couldn't wait to go downstairs to look for food. She stood in front of the table and placed a piece of cake on a plate, while a tall and thin well-known woman suddenly stood beside her and looked at her with an unfriendly gaze.
"Miss, you look unfamiliar. Have you just returned from studying abroad?"
Qiao Xi explained with a smile. "No, I'm just one of Mister Shen's subordinates. It's my honor to be here to attend the gathering together with you."
When the woman heard that it was only the Shen family's employees, her face immediately changed. She rolled her eyes and said in a strange tone, "I thought it was some rich family's money."
The woman glared at her in disdain and left. Qiao Xi didn't get angry and continued to eat and drink. However, after she left, other famous women came to ask about it.
"Your Mr Shen is currently single, right?"
Qiao Xi nodded.
"Rumor has it that Mister Shen is clean and healthy. Is that true?"
Qiao Xi nodded again, those famous women didn't seem to believe him.
He continued to ask, unwilling to give up, "Mister Shen must have had a girlfriend before."
"I'm not sure. This is the boss's business."
Seeing that she was acting so perfunctorily, the famous ladies couldn't take it anymore and arrogantly blocked her path.
Qiao Xi's eyes glimmered as she looked at the woman in front of her. She was wearing a dress with a high cut, reaching her navel, while her two beauties flowed out.
With a reddened face, he maliciously glared at her and said, "Who do you think you are? You are merely an employee following Mister Shen."
Qiao Xi was not weak either. She smiled. "You're right. I'm just a small employee. I don't really understand Mr. Shen's situation. You should ask him yourself."
She directly retaliated with courtesy, causing the other party's expression to change. Seeing that she wasn't going to give in, he decided not to bring ridicule upon himself anymore …
Qiao Xi filled his stomach and found a corner to stand on. From time to time, a famous lady would come over to ask about the matter. She took care of her annoyance and walked out to the quiet corridor.
Deep into the night, Qiao Xi stood with her arms around her chest for a few minutes before she heard the sound of hurried high heels.
Looking back, he saw Qiao Yang wearing a white suit walking towards them in the night. Qiao Xi was somewhat surprised to see her here.
For a gathering place of upper class society like this, it was extremely difficult to sneak in. She had to look for many people to finally obtain a placing.
With a mysterious expression on his face, Qiao Yang approached her and asked, "Sis, what is your relationship with Shen Yeyan?"
She saw with her own eyes that when Shen Yeyan entered the stage, her sister was wearing a luxurious dress as she walked shoulder to shoulder with him.
She had never thought that the one who would raise Qiao Xi would be Shen Ye An, the wealthiest man in the imperial city. He was such a respected man with a handsome face and a tall and straight stature.
Qiao Xi saw through Qiao Yang's intentions, but she couldn't let anyone else know about the agreement between her and Old Master Shen.
"There is no relationship between Shen Yeyan and I like what you think. I am a member of the Shen family."
"Sis, who are you lying to? Are you already living in his house?" Qiao Yang inched closer, his eyes shining with excitement.
"Nope."
"Sis, it's not a shameful thing to be kept under his wing. The wealthiest man in the capital, how big of a backer is he? Such a rich and powerful customer needs to be used well. Don't worry, I won't tell mom."
Qiao Xi: "…"
He looked at his little sister in disbelief. Just what had happened to her? How could she become like this? She even said something like this that destroyed all three views. Even being raised would make her feel like she was bringing honor to her ancestors.
"Sis, don't be silly. Such a good opportunity isn't available for everyone. If you miss it, then it's gone."
Qiao Yang gritted his teeth and shamelessly followed her. "Sis, I was wrong about what happened last time. I hope you can forgive me. We're still good sisters."
Qiao Yang secretly rejoiced in his heart as Qiao Xi turned a deaf ear. She could also bask in the light of the relationship between Qiao Xi and Shen Yeyan.
After entering the hall, Qiao Xi went upstairs and stood at the foot of the stairs, waiting. In a while, Shen Ye An and Li Ran came out and saw her standing at the side with a heavy heart.
Shen Ye An walked up to her. With a cold gaze, he looked at her and said, "Let's go."
Due to Shen Yeyan's arrival, the famous ladies wanted to rush forward to invite him, but were stopped by Li Ran. Shen Ye An's face was dark, refusing to see anyone within a thousand miles.
Qiao Xi looked at the crowd that was walking over and suddenly saw Qiao Yang charging over. He was stopped by Li Ran who was standing in front.
"Let me pass, I'm Qiao Xi's sister."
Li Ran continued to block her way, but when he turned his head to ask her with his gaze, even Shen Yeyan's gaze swept over to him.
Qiao Yang continued to try to break through Li Ran and stand in front of Shen Yeyan. Qiao Xi stepped forward to stop her. "What are you doing?"
"Sister, I came to say hello."
Qiao Yang smiled tenderly and waved his hand towards Shen Yeyan. He then coldly swept a glance at her before walking away.
How could Qiao Xi not know her intentions? He just wanted to show his face in front of Shen Yeyan and hug the potential customer's thigh.
She was so angry that her breathing became unstable. She lowered her voice and warned, "Mister Shen has a bad temper. Don't go in front of him and brush your emotions of existence. You will only cause yourself to feel unhappy."
"Sis, then you have to mention my little sister in front of Teacher Shen. Mr. Shen also has an investment in the entertainment industry, so it would be easy for him to just insert someone into the business." Qiao Yang's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Veins popped up on his forehead. Qiao Xi's gaze was filled with gloom as he said, "I'm just a staff member of the Shen family. Qiao Yang, clear your head."
"Why am I not awake? Big sister has such a big relationship, but I'm not pulling little sister over. Is that okay with you?"
"You plotted against your own sister, as her little sister, can you handle it?"
Qiao Xi couldn't be bothered to continue arguing with her. Shen Ye An was waiting for her at the front. They jogged over when Qiao Yang saw them. His teeth were about to shatter.
If she had known that today would come, she would never have done what she did back then, destroying the relationship between sisters.
Otherwise, with the way Qiao Xi had taken care of her in the past, he would definitely help her!
