Not long after receiving the invitation, Murong Qiao knocked on fourth brother Yanxiu's door.

"What's the matter?" Yanxiu opened the door and asked her.

There is still some gray on his body, which looks like pencil gray, and it seems that he was still painting just now.

Murong Qiao took out the invitation card, "Cough...the engagement invitation card sent by the Ruan family belongs to Ruan Ying, fourth brother, do you want to go?"

"The Ruan family?" Yanxiu repeated.

His eyes fell on the gold-plated invitation card in his sister's hand, and he was silent for a long time without remembering who Ruan Ying was.

After thinking about it for a long time but unable to remember, Yanxiu who simply gave up turned his gaze to Murong Qiao again, seeing her hesitant expression, the words he originally wanted to refuse stopped on his lips.

Eldest brother and the others are not here, and the Ruan family is engaged again...

Yanxiu thought about it more rarely, and even had the scene of Murong Qiao being bullied if he went to the engagement alone in his mind.

Murong Qiao was not sure about Yanxiu, so he stood at the door and could only wait for his reply.

"I'll go." Yanxiu agreed in a strange way.

With no one else around, he couldn't let Murong Qiao go alone.

Murong Qiao was originally mentally prepared to go alone, but he didn't expect to hear the voice of the fourth brother agreeing.

"Then... good." She abruptly turned the words back.

Seeing this, Yanxiu didn't say much, "If there's nothing else, I'll continue designing."

The design in his hand is just halfway through, and inspiration waits for no one.

Murong Qiao naturally had nothing to say, nodded and saw fourth brother Yanxiu shut the door, and there was no movement inside.

After staring at the tightly closed door for a while, Murong Qiao also recovered his mood and went back to his room.

The engagement banquet can never be ambiguous, she represents the entire Murong family.

As soon as the time turned to the date of the invitation, although the banquet was scheduled for the evening, most people arrived early and socialized with each other in twos and threes, which became the home of many businessmen.

Since Huo Xiuyuan was the main character, he came to the banquet hall early and began to greet everyone.

On the other hand, Huo Yichen followed Huo Hong to the venue, but after all, it was the Huo family, which attracted a lot of attention as soon as they entered the venue.

"congratulations……"

"This kind of happy event should be well blessed..."

Many people gathered around, all of them were flattering people who took the opportunity to curry favor with Huo Hong.

Huo Yichen excused himself to go to the bathroom and left Huo Hong's side first. After all, he was just pretending to be a fool with everyone there. Then his eyes fell on the crowded crowd at the banquet, and he "coincidentally" met Murong Qiao who was not far away. line of sight.

"..." Murong Qiao's eyes slightly curved.

She didn't speak, just looked at Huo Yichen from a distance to confirm each other's existence, then smiled silently, standing beside fourth brother Yanxiu holding a wine glass to weaken her sense of existence.

Due to Huo Hong's presence, the two of them couldn't be too close.

Huo Yichen suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and when he was about to look away and turn to leave, he was blocked by a figure.

"What? It's happening in reverse now?" Huo Xiuyuan looked at him proudly.

Huo Yichen looked back blankly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Now that there are so many people around, his every word and deed may be watched by others, Huo Yichen is so cautious that it can be said that he does not reveal anything.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just come to my engagement." Huo Xiuyuan laughed, "After all, we are together in a fair and honest manner."

He said the latter sentence almost in such a weak volume that only he and Huo Yichen could hear it clearly.

Huo Xiuyuan smiled playfully, and pretended to be inadvertently glanced at Murong Qiao in another place.

Seeing that Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao seemed to be strangers at this moment, he couldn't be happier.

"Who is this fair and honest saying for?" Huo Yichen didn't let the wind fall.

He looked threateningly in Ruan Ying's direction. The little girl was innocently standing next to Ruan's parents and greeting people she knew. She didn't notice Huo Xiuyuan and Huo Yichen's situation for a moment.

Huo Xiuyuan's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

Huo Yichen's words made Huo Xiuyuan a little apprehensive, but the engagement was so close that it could be said to be a sure win. After Huo Xiuyuan was silent for a moment, he decided that Huo Yichen's bluff was sour.

Coupled with the time he hesitated for a while, Ruan Ying seemed to be faintly looking at Huo Xiuyuan, which made him even more determined not to let Huo Yichen and Ruan Ying meet.

"I'm very busy today, so I don't have time to chat with you." Huo Xiuyuan said coldly.

Even if there is only a little risk of overturning, he will not allow it.

Huo Xiuyuan turned around and walked away, just a few steps before meeting Ruan Ying who was walking towards him.

"Xiuyuan?" Ruan Ying called him, "Who is that?"

Huo Xiuyuan raised a gentle smile, "It's not someone important."

He said it, and at the same time blocked Ruan Ying's curious gaze at Huo Yichen with his body.

Although Huo Xiuyuan didn't want to admit it, he was really afraid that Ruan Ying would have other thoughts after seeing Huo Yichen.

For example... falling in love with Huo Yichen.

Thinking of this possibility, Huo Xiuyuan gritted his teeth, a trace of irritability flashed across his eyes, he stretched out his hand to wrap around Ruan Ying's body and forcibly turned the other side's vision.

"Speaking of which, I haven't met your family very much..." Huo Xiuyuan made up an excuse and took Ruan Ying away.

From the beginning to the end, every scene from Huo Xiuyuan's conversation with Huo Yichen to Ruan Ying's unknowingly being taken away was captured by Murong Qiao who was standing by.

She covered the sarcasm in her eyes by looking down at the wine glass, and after watching Huo Xiuyuan's performance for a while, she had to admit that he was not tired of living so much.

"...I'm going to the bathroom." The fourth brother Yanxiu beside him suddenly said.

The unbearable tone and the frowning look on his face showed that he was very irritable at the moment.

In such a noisy environment, the boiling human voices almost filled his brain, making it extremely noisy.

Murong Qiao was taken aback for a moment and realized, "Okay."

She nodded, and then saw the fourth brother walking towards the corridor beside him. Although his face was calm, Murong Qiao always felt that he was a little impatient from his footsteps?

Reminiscent of the fourth brother's somewhat "social fear" character, Murong Qiao probably guessed that he was not very suitable for such occasions.

"You also came to find Yanxiu?" A haughty female voice suddenly fell in Murong Qiao's ear.

The arrogance revealed in the other party's tone made Murong Qiao subconsciously displeased.

She frowned, then turned around, "Also?"

She repeated the other party's words, and at the same time saw the other party's appearance clearly.

Looking at a woman in her thirties, wearing a regular black dress, her face was so thickly made up that people didn't know how to judge it, and the look in Murong Qiao's eyes was also hostile, which made people feel uncomfortable overall.

"I advise you to save your time." The woman sneered.

She seemed to take Murong Qiao's rhetorical question as the default meaning, and looked at Murong Qiao from top to bottom, as if she wanted to cut her inside.

The woman carried her expensive limited bag, "We have been discussing the cooperation of Yanxiu for a long time."

His tone was as firm as a certainty, but Murong Qiao only felt that this person was inexplicable.

"It's been a long time since I've said that I haven't declared my family name. How can such an uneducated person have the guts to talk about cooperation?" Murong Qiao raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"You!" The woman stammered angrily.

Fortunately, she signed up afterwards, "Tang Sha."

In just two words, she forced her to read it with a high-spirited meaning.

Murong Qiao searched through his few memories, but he couldn't find any information about this person.

Probably someone who is not related, she judged in her heart.
