Sensing that the surroundings were filled with looks of ridicule, disdain and watching the show, Shi Anyi bit her lower lip in dissatisfaction. Her hand that was placed beside her was tightly clenched into a fist, and her nails had already sunk into the meat, but she did not feel the slightest amount of pain.
Lady Xiang hung Shi Anyi on the air for a while longer before smiling apologetically, "Look at me, I actually forgot that Second Miss Shi is still standing here, let's go back and sit."
After hearing this, Shi Anyi walked back in a daze, she had even forgotten about the most basic of etiquette.
Looking at Shi Anyi's somewhat weak figure, Shi Anran laughed secretly in her heart. Shi Anyi, you brought this upon yourself.
When Shi Anyi returned to her seat, the surrounding people, who were still flattering her moments ago, now all wished that they could stay far away from her and pretend that they didn't know her.
However, all of them were glad that they had seen what kind of person she was. If they didn't all become good friends, it would be too late to discover her. After all, humans came together in groups.
Until the end of the banquet, Shi Anran had not expected any of the "accidents" to occur. Thinking to this point, Shi Anran did not know why, but the uneasiness in her heart, was also growing stronger and stronger.
At this moment, Yi Yue also tightly furrowed her brows. After all, whether it was Shi Anyi or the people hiding behind, today was an excellent opportunity for them.
No matter what, Yi Yue and Shi Anran still felt that they could not let down their guard.
Thinking about it here, Yi Yue took a small step forward, and was almost right behind Shi Anran, at that time, no matter what accident, Shi Anran would be at a place that she could grab hold of.
Lady Xiang stood up and greeted the ladies, who were about to leave, as she pinched Shi Anran's palm, "Anran, wait for me for a while."
Shi Anran nodded her head obediently. Coincidentally, her mind was in a mess, and she needed time to think about what to do next. Those people were already moving towards her, she could not sit still and wait for death.
Thinking about it till this point, Shi Anran also had a plan, since she could not sit still and wait for death, then she would just lure the snake out of its hole, they would definitely not brazenly attack her, or hide behind someone else's back, and as for who the other person was, it was very obvious, since their identity was suitable, and if they had the opportunity to attack someone, they would definitely not be her "good sister".
It just so happened that at this time, Mrs Xiang had already sent them off, and had let the little girl by her side go and greet Shi Yu.
"Anran, actually, I don't have anything to say, but I have something for you," Saying that, she removed a high quality bracelet from her hand, and before Shi Anran could react, she directly put it on her wrist, "Anran, treat this as aunt's present for you, don't push it away."
Hearing Mistress Xiang say this, Shi Anran who was' fighting 'with the bracelet could only stop her actions, but she still looked hesitant, "Aunt, although Anran doesn't understand jade, she does know that this bracelet …"
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Lady Xiang, "Anran, although it's because of your mother that Aunt started talking to you, after a night of interaction, Aunt also knows that you are a good person, a person worth befriending. If you also think that Aunt is a person worth befriending, then you should accept this bracelet."
Seeing that Mistress Xiang had said it like that, Shi Anran could no longer refuse anymore. She nodded her head and said, "Then Anran would respectfully accept it, but she didn't bring any presents today. She will definitely pay her respects to Aunt again in a few days."
Hearing Shi Anran's words, Lady Xiang smiled and nodded. Only then did she send Shi Anran and her master out, and not long after, she saw Xiang Rongcheng walking towards them.
"Mother, Anran."
Hearing Xiang Rongcheng's words, Mrs Xiang looked at the two of them dubiously, and laughed, "This old woman will not disturb you, and will be returning to rest first. Rong Cheng, you must definitely send Anran out safely."
Xiang Rongcheng nodded, his face curling into a smile because of his mother's words.
The mother and son duo said this in unison. Her words did not give Shi Anran any chance to speak, and thus, unquestionably, it was decided. Lady Xiang waved her hand at Shi Anran, then walked back to where she came from.
Looking at Lady Xiang's back, Shi Anran only felt that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Anran, you are very beautiful today."
Xiang Rongcheng suddenly said after Lady Xiang's figure disappeared.
Shi Anran had never tried to make love before. In her previous life, the only reason she had quarreled and wanted to be the crown prince's concubine was because her reputation had been ruined by Shi Anyi and her daughter. Furthermore, the crown prince was a person who knew how to talk well, so she was naturally favored by Shi Anran, this kind of girl who had never seen anything in the world.
So in this period of time, not only did Shi Anran not notice that Xiang Rongcheng was trying to please her, she thought that he was teasing her, and shamelessly smiled, "Thank you, Young Master, for your praise. But Anran's beauty is also not just a day or two away."
Xiang Rongcheng was startled, and immediately laughed. Shi Anran's straightforward nature was really pleasing, at least, pleasing to him.
"Young Master Xiang, there's no need to send me off. I know the way."
Hearing the unfamiliar name "Young Master Xiang", Xiang Rongcheng slightly frowned, but he did not say much. After all, he had to take it step by step.
"I know her, but I can't let Anran just leave like that at night. I have nothing better to do, so I'll just send you off."
After hearing Xiang Rongcheng's words, Shi Anran did not say anything else. She rejected him too strongly and deliberately, making it seem that she had no rules.
"Anran, if you really marry into Xiang Family, what do you think?" Just as he was about to reach the door, Xiang Rongcheng suddenly said.
Hearing Xiang Rongcheng's words, Shi Anran was stunned, she never thought that Xiang Rongcheng would actually ask a question so bluntly.
Shi Anran was afraid that she would get into trouble, so she did not say it directly.
This answer was something he expected, so Xiang Rongcheng didn't become flustered and exasperated, instead he replied calmly, "Is it because of condescension? I grew up with Rong Qing, so it's hard to avoid her relying on me. However, this is not something that can not be changed. "
After hearing this, Shi Anran stood at her original spot in no hurry to leave, and said estranged, "Young Master Xiang, if it's for Miss Xiang's sake, I won't deny it, but this is only a small part of it. It's my problem, and it's yours. Young Master Xiang, do you love Anran? If not, please do not delay Anran's life. "
What Shi Anran had said was considered to be rejected, because no matter how much she did not understand love, she should know that in just a few short encounters, there would be no love. She wanted to let Xiang Rongcheng know the difficulties and retreat.
After she finished speaking, Shi Anran stood there for a while. She did not wait for Xiang Rongcheng's reply, as she was extremely clear in her heart what the other party was thinking about. She lowered her body and whispered, "Young Master Xiang, Anran will be going back first. Please halt, Young Master Xiang, there is no need to send me off."
