Chapter 253： Exposed in public (update 1)

Chapter 253 Exposed in public (first update)

Qi Mowei asked Li Jiu excitedly: "Ajiu, what do you want to drink?"

Li Jiu frowned, sniffed it with his nose, and said, "Have you been drinking?"

"yes."

She just had a drink, and she could smell it. It was amazing.

"How are you going back later?" Li Jiu asked with a frown.

Xue Cong and Ye Wanxin looked at each other in private and felt that Li Jiu cared about Qi Mowei very much. Since he came in, his attention had been on her and he had never talked to anyone else.

Qi Mowei pouted, grabbed Li Jiu's arm, shook it a few times, and said, "Let's find someone to drive for us! Ah Jiu, don't act like an old woman."

It was not easy to get Li Jiu out to play today. We must not spoil the fun. We must let Li Jiu live an old-age lifestyle and integrate into young people like them.

Thinking about it, Qi Mowei picked up the wine glass and put it in Li Jiu's hand, put his arm on her shoulder, and introduced Xue Cong to her: "Come on, Ajiu, although I have said hello, I still want to introduce you grandly. Come on, Xue Cong, the eldest daughter of the Xue family, has just returned from studying abroad, and tonight’s welcome banquet is held for her.”

After saying that, Qi Mowei leaned closer and whispered: "She is the eldest sister to us little sisters. Everyone respects her and she can speak well among the wealthy families in the Imperial Capital. If you have a good relationship with her, you can be in the Imperial Capital." Go sideways!"

After receiving the look Qi Mowei gave him, Li Jiu raised his eyebrows, without brushing her face, and said hello to Xue Cong: "Hello, Miss Xue."

Xue Cong was a little surprised when someone who just looked indifferent and didn't pay attention to anything suddenly greeted her, but he still restrained his emotions and said politely: "Hello, Miss Li is Weiwei's friend and also my friend. , if you need anything in the future, just tell me.”

Li Jiuruo looked at Xue Cong with interest, and his tone was relaxed and meaningful, "Oh? What if I really need your help in the future?"

Xue Cong was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Then I will try my best to help."

Li Jiu also smiled a few times and took a sip of the wine in his glass. This Xue Cong is an interesting person.

Although it was a polite statement, it still shocked the people present.

Although the Xue family's status among the wealthy families in the Imperial Capital is not as high as that of the Li and Qi families, they are still very important. Xue Cong is even more famous among the ladies of the Imperial Capital. Her words can be said to be a guarantee for Li Jiu. If Li Jiu is in need, the Xue family can lend a helping hand.

Ye Wanxin immediately frowned, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, poked Xue Cong with her hand, and asked in a low voice: "Congcong, it's not necessary. Even if she is the third master's fiancée, there is no need for you to give her such a gift." A big commitment."

Xue never gave her a disapproving look, her beautiful eyes flashed, and explained: "Wan Xin, aside from her status as the third master's fiancée, she is also the daughter of the Li family. It's not that you don't care how much Mr. Li loves her. Clearly, having good relations with the Li family will only benefit us."

Ye Wanxin still frowned, "But Congcong, you don't have to do this. It will make people think that we are eager to stick to her."

Xue Cong chuckled, "How could that happen?"

"But..." Ye Wanxin hesitated, bit her lip, stretched out her hand and gently pulled her sleeves, "You forgot that we have an incompatible relationship with Li Yun. They are sisters after all. I'm worried... "

Xue Cong patted her hand comfortingly and said, "Don't worry, I think this Miss Li's personality is different from Li Yun's."

“I hope so.”

Today's welcome meeting was not as relaxed and relaxed as usual because of the presence of an outsider named "Li Jiu", but that was only for Qi Mowei.

Qi Mowei clinked glasses with a friend and drank them all in one gulp. When she turned around, she saw Li Jiu and Xue Cong sitting there chatting happily. She couldn't help but be surprised. When did Ajiu and Sister Congcong become so familiar?

When the people around saw this, they also asked: "Weiwei, have Miss Li and Sister Congcong known each other before?"

Qi Mowei shook her head, "I don't know." "Then why are they chatting so passionately, and how come they are so busy that others can't get in the conversation."

Qi Mowei was also puzzled, she didn’t know either.

Ye Wanxin's moving eyes were full of surprise, and she looked at the two people chatting in the corner in disbelief.

In the past, Sister Cong would never have talked so much with people she just met. What happened today?

Have you really met someone you like?

How did they know that the two people who seemed to be chatting happily were actually filled with unspeakable undercurrents in the atmosphere between them.

“Miss Li is still in school?”

“Yes, Emperor Da, Da Er.”

“We are in the same school as Weiwei. Have you and Weiwei known each other for a long time?”

“Well, we’ve known each other since childhood.” Li Jiu played with his jade fingers, which were like peeling onions, intending to tease her.

Xue Cong's eyes flashed, and doubts suddenly filled his heart.

Since we have known each other since childhood, why did this illegitimate daughter of the Li family only return to the Li family two years ago? I know the fourth young lady of the Qi family, why not use the Qi family’s connections to help find out about my life experience?

Moreover, even if Li Jiu didn't speak, it would still be weird according to Qi Mowei's character not to help his good sister find out her life experience.

In addition, Li Jiu and Qi Mowei have known each other since they were young. Why have none of them, her friends who are usually close to her, heard of Li Jiu? They only learned that they were friends after Li Jiu and Qi Sanye got engaged.

This doesn’t make sense at all.

Xue Cong was full of doubts, lowered his eyebrows, narrowed his beautiful eyes, and a glimmer of light flashed under his eyes.

Suddenly, she raised her head, with a very comfortable smile on her lips, and her beautiful eyes looked at Li Jiu, like a clear mountain spring.

“I really can’t tell that you have known each other longer than me.”

Li Jiu smiled meaningfully and looked directly at Xue Cong, his eyes so deep that the latter froze suddenly, and there was a fleeting stiffness in the smile at the corner of his mouth.

After a long while, Li Jiu chuckled lightly, with an irresistible sense of oppression in her clear eyes. She lowered her voice, lightly opened her red lips, and uttered a sentence that made Xue Cong break into a cold sweat: "Miss Xue, I advise you. You better not use your tricks on me, it’s useless.”

Since Li Jiu was sitting in front of Xue Cong, just blocking her suddenly frozen expression, Qi Mowei and others did not notice anything strange.

There was a lively chat over there, but the atmosphere here seemed to be frozen, solemn and chilly.

After a long time, Xue Cong finally sorted out his emotions, and his face returned to normal. He glanced at Li Jiu's expression with lingering fear, and cautiously asked, "You... too?"

Li Jiu glanced at her, and with just that glance, she felt an overwhelming sense of pressure from the top of her head, making her breathless and her breathing became rapid.

“You are very brave to expose yourself in public, Miss Xue.”

In the last three words, the ending tone of Li Jiu rises, aggravating the tone.
