Ji Xinqing knew that this was an opportunity to show "Starry Sky" to Tang Qing.

Excited, he could not help but feel nervous.

Ji Xinqing thought for a long time before she softly said, "Miss Tang Qing, my story is very simple. I was married with a four-year-old daughter, but my daughter suffered from autism. Therefore, 'Starry Night' is the hope of a mother, and it is the hope of many parents in the imperial city."

Just a few words, yet Ji Xinqing was sweating nervously.

She did not know that Tang Qing was not satisfied with her answer, so she carefully raised her head.

Tang Qing had a smile on his face. His smile did not conceal the admiration he felt for her. "President Ji, you're a great mother."

Ji Xinqing heaved a sigh of relief, "Miss Tang Qing is flattering me."

Tang Qing's smile gradually turned polite as she touched the wine cup in Ji Xinqing's hand, "President Ji, I still have things to do. I'll be leaving first. Please wait for a while, the grand ceremony is about to begin."

Ji Xinqing nodded.

In reality, there was still half an hour left before the grand ceremony was about to begin.

The main hall was still bright and hazy. All the guests were holding their wine cups and chatting with each other.

Ji Xinqing had been on stage before, so almost everyone knew that she was Tang Jinyao's girlfriend.

The man didn't dare to approach her, but the woman was jealous.

As such, Ji Xinqing was isolated.

Ji Xinqing smiled and sat down at the resting area.

Ji Xinqing's stomach was a little empty since she did not have any dinner before she came.

Looking at the dazzling array of food on the table, Ji Xinqing could not help but swallow her saliva. She did not pay attention to the gazes from her surroundings and directly placed a plate of food on the table.

When Tang Jinyao walked over, she saw Ji Xinqing sitting alone in a corner, leisurely eating her pastries.

The way she ate was very warm, eating mouthful after mouthful, but there was something inexplicably attractive about it.

Tang Jinyao's eyes widened as she walked over with a smile, "Miss Ji, why are you sitting here by yourself?"

Ji Xinqing was stunned. In the next second, she was choked and her face flushed red.

Tang Jinyao chuckled, then picked up a nearby juice bottle and handed it to her. "Miss Ji, what are you so anxious for?" I didn't try to steal it from you. "

After drinking a few mouthfuls of juice, Ji Xinqing finally felt better. She put down the plate in her hand and softly said, "Mr. Tang."

"Hmm?"

She was very close to him, and when he spoke to her in that tone, Ji Xinqing felt very uncomfortable.

She moved to the side, took a deep breath, and suddenly smiled. "Mr. Tang, I heard from my husband that you bid for that piece of land at the east side of the city?"

Tang Jinyao's eyes slowly narrowed. "Miss Ji, why did you suddenly get involved in the business?" "You didn't know it was a trade secret?"

Ji Xinqing was still smiling. "But my husband said that the Tang clan originally did not plan to bid for that land. So …"

Tang Jinyao rolled his eyes as he smiled sinisterly. "Miss Ji, this is …" Is he asking about the land for your husband? "

After a pause, he continued, "Miss Ji, from a man's point of view, I'm looking down on your husband."

Ji Xinqing was stunned. She stared at him angrily and emphasized her tone, "Mr. Tang."

Tang Jinyao smiled and continued, "Your work and his are in no way on the same side, but he pushed you out into the open. If he were a man, he would have personally come looking for me instead of asking you to look for me."

He was telling the truth.

However, Ji Xinqing still chose to protect Meng Qin Guan, "Mr. Tang, I'm Meng Qin Guan's wife. His business is my business, so I'll have to trouble you —"

Tang Jinyao's eyes suddenly turned cold. "You think I'm trying to sow discord?"

The aura around him suddenly grew stronger. This was the first time that Ji Xinqing had seen such a powerful figure like Tang Jinyao. She had a faint feeling that he was getting angry.

"I'm not." Ji Xinqing's voice weakened.

After staring at her for a long time, Tang Jinyao finally stopped talking. With a casual smile, she asked, "Then, Miss Ji, why do you want to know about the matters of the land?"

He said it so plainly that Ji Xinqing no longer dared to ask.

However … For Meng Qin, Ji Xinqing clenched her fists and said softly, "I heard that the Tang Clan has a lot of businesses under them. The land to the east of the city is not even worth mentioning to the Tang Clan. "Then can we …"

Before he could finish his sentence, Tang Jinyao suddenly stood up and said, "Miss Ji, I suddenly remember that I have something to attend to. Excuse me."

His expression was very cold, and also somewhat impatient.

Ji Xinqing was sure that she had angered him.

But what was he angry about?

Ji Xinqing couldn't figure out Tang Jinyao's capriciousness, so she stopped thinking about it.

She picked up the plate again.

As he ate, a shadow appeared in front of him again.

"Madam Meng."

Ji Xinqing was stunned as she slowly raised her head to look at the approaching person, the Book of Shen.

"What are you doing here?"

Shen Dian smiled, "Madam Meng, I know what you're worried about. Relax, Qin Yu is a little tired, she's resting at my place, I'll let her out at the start of the ceremony."

The smile on her face grew brighter. "But Madam Meng, I heard that you're Young Master Tang's companion tonight. I just saw that Young Master Tang's complexion was very unsightly when he left your place …"

Shen Dian sighed, and continued, "Madam Meng, you don't know, if a woman does not even have the ability to coax people, how can she maintain her family?"

There was a hidden meaning in his words.

Ji Xinqing understood that she still had not given up on Meng Qin.

Ji Xinqing lowered her eyes and quietly replied, "Qin Guan and I have been married for so many years and have always been very happy. I won't trouble you to worry about me."

"So it's like that …" Shen Dian replied perfunctorily, he glanced around the hall, then suddenly laughed and said, "Oh right Madam Meng, I have a secret, do you want to hear it?"

Ji Xinqing put down her plate and wanted to leave.

Shen Dian was aware of her actions and opened his mouth again with a smile, "Madam Meng, this secret is related to your husband. Don't you have any doubts that Qin Guan really told you everything?"

Ji Xinqing's footsteps suddenly stopped.

As if he had understood the inner workings of Ji Xinqing's heart, Shen Cangshu slowly walked in front of her and held her hand. He intentionally dragged out his words, "Madam Meng, do you know that women are suspicious creatures? You are no exception."

"But Madam Meng, are you going to give up this opportunity? You were at Qin Guan's place, but you couldn't find any secrets, so why didn't you just ask me directly? As long as you ask me, I guarantee that I will let you know everything. "

Her words were very attractive.

However …

Shen Dian once again opened his mouth, "Madam Meng, I know what you're worried about, but if you don't believe my one-sided words, you can go back and ask Qin Guan. Think about it this way, you won't lose out no matter what, do you think it's Madam Meng?"

The two of them soon arrived at a corridor in the courtyard.

The night was very cold, and a chilly wind was blowing.

"What are you going to tell me?"

In the pitch-black night, Ji Xinqing suddenly heard a strange laugh from the Canon of Records.

"Madam Meng, do you really believe that your husband is impotent?"

"He has already explained to me —"

"Do you believe everything he says? Ji Xinqing, have you never thought that his explanations were all lies to you? "

Hearing her name, Ji Xinqing suddenly felt uneasy. She subconsciously wanted to leave, but her footsteps felt heavy.

As her heart slowly sank, Ji Xinqing heard the gentle voice of Shen Cangshu, "Ji Xinqing, Qin Guan, did you tell you that I'm his first love?"
