"But as Gu Nanxi, are you really willing to marry an unknown and ordinary-looking woman like this?" She raised her slender arms disapprovingly, gently crossed her chest, and

When Director Chen and Minister Han turned around to talk to others and left, they sneered and looked at Ji Xinyao up and down, with obvious disdain on their lips.

Ji Xinyao never spoke, she just looked at the proud woman in front of her and sneered from the bottom of her heart.

She is indeed nameless and ordinary, but she is still much better than a socialite like her who thinks she has a silver spoon in her mouth and is arrogant and even wants to get involved with other people's husbands.

But for a moment, she felt a little confused.

Since when did she need to hold grudges against such a scornful woman?

"Miss Yin's joke is a little too big. There is no status, no status, true love has no borders, let alone this mere status." Gu Nanxi raised her eyebrows.

"Really?" Yin Tong raised her beautiful eyebrows, raised her hand and gently pushed her wavy hair behind her neck. There was no trace of retreat in her eyes, and she glanced at Ji Xinyao, whose smile did not reach her eyes: "I think

Do you think it would be okay to say a few words to Mayor Gu?"

She was obviously telling Ji Xinyao to stay away. Ji Xinyao looked at the determination in Yin Tong's eyes as calmly as before, as if she knew that she would walk away in shame, but she did not move. Not only did she not move, Gu Nanxi

At the same time, his hands gently clasped her waist tightly, obviously not intending to let her go.

Since her own husband is insisting on her position here, why should she leave?

"What Miss Yin wants to say, Xin Yao is not an outsider, just say it directly." Gu Nanxi still smiled so nonchalantly, as if she couldn't see the faint anger in Yin Tong's eyes in front of her.

Ji Xinyao smiled shamelessly: "Yes, you don't have to treat me like an outsider."

Yin Tong looked slightly stern, snorted coldly, and glanced at her sideways: "Miss Ji is really interesting."

"What's going on?" Ji Xinyao tilted her head with an innocent face.

As if she had just discovered that Ji Xinyao was absolutely talented when she really wanted to make people angry, Gu Nanxi glanced at her, with a hint of interest in her eyes.

"It's nothing, I just found that some people don't know how to praise me, and they really treat me like a green onion." Yin Tong snorted coldly, and then looked at Gu Nanxi with some reluctance, who was obviously turning a blind eye to him, and said coldly

Turn around and walk away.

Looking at the back of Yin Tong walking away proudly, Ji Xinyao said nothing, and there was no expression of victory in her eyes. She just looked at the woman's back and guessed that she would not give up.

"Everyone has left, are you still watching?"

Gu Nanxi's voice suddenly sounded beside her, and she came back to her senses and looked at him: "What? Are you reluctant?"

The corners of his eyes moved slightly: "Ji Xinyao, are you jealous?"

Ji Xinyao snorted lazily: "I am protecting my own dignity."

He immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a slight smile. She cleverly walked out of his arms, turned around and looked at the unknown meaning in his eyes, and curled her lips: "Even if I don't get too involved in the drama, at least I can."

Do you want to maintain your dignity? Since you have already introduced me on such an occasion, I can't see someone who is blatantly trying to get involved with my husband and act submissive like an angry little daughter-in-law."

He smiled lightly: "What if I get into the act first?"

After saying that, he turned around with a smile and shook hands with a middle-aged man in military uniform who came behind him.

Ji Xinyao's heart suddenly thumped, and she looked at his back in shock.

She stared blankly at that tall and elegant figure with extraordinary temperament.

About half an hour later, the dinner began. Although this charity dinner was organized by the AA government, it was serious but also somewhat casual. The dignitaries stood in their respective stations in twos and threes, and there was a huge dance floor in the middle. The slightly younger ones

Men and women walked over and danced to the elegant music, and the banquets scattered around were filled with people.

Gu Nanxi was still chatting with the man in military uniform just now. Ji Xinyao sat boredly at the table next to her, eating something from time to time, but her eyes occasionally glanced in Gu Nanxi's direction, still weighing her thoughts in her heart.

What he just said.

Why did he say it so unclearly? What did he mean? She thought of a possibility, but she was afraid that she was overthinking it. Maybe he was just joking, but it didn't look like he was joking.

I haven't stopped thinking about it for more than an hour, thinking about the meaning of his words.

Just when the banquet was lively, suddenly, several people walked in in front of the door, attracting everyone's attention. Ji Xinyao also noticed that some big shot seemed to have walked in in front of the door, and couldn't help turning her head to look until she saw the person walking in.

It turned out to be Ji Qiuhang, and his whole face became stiff.

In the past two years, Ji Qiuhang has been the chief of staff of the Y Urban Army under the Central Military Commission. He is the top leader in the military commission community. After all, he is one of the top figures in the country. No matter where he goes, the scene is very grand. As soon as he walks in, there are many people.

The dignitaries came up to say hello.

When Ji Qiuhang walked in, Gu Nanxi saw him and subconsciously glanced down at Ji Xinyao who was sitting beside her.

Ji Xinyao had her fists clenched on her legs, her nails deeply embedded in the palms of her hands, her face was slightly pale, and she looked straight ahead with an expressionless face, no longer looking at the grand scene in front of the door.

"Everyone should eat and drink." Ji Qiuhang waved his hand with a smile. As soon as he walked in, a very young and well-maintained middle-aged woman and the young and beautiful Ji Chengcheng walked in behind him.

Ji Qiuhang shook hands with the dignitaries who came over, and then was greeted to go inside to talk to everyone. Over there, Ji Chengcheng seemed to be looking for something, holding the middle-aged woman's arm.

She whispered quietly into her ear, and the middle-aged woman looked back and looked around.

The knuckles of Ji Xinyao's clenched hands on her legs turned white, until Ji Chengcheng suddenly pointed over there towards her. The middle-aged woman looked over and her face immediately changed.

Change.

"Ji Xinyao!" In the blink of an eye, Ji Chengcheng walked over. His voice was neither high nor low, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Because her tone was very unkind.

Ji Xinyao's face was expressionless, and she stood up slowly, hiding her tightly knitted hands in her sleeves, and turned her eyes to look at the sparkle in Ji Chengcheng's eyes.

If her guess was correct, a family of three suddenly parachuted into the dinner party. Ji Chengcheng must have found out through some means that she and Gu Nanxi were here, so he brought his parents over to accuse her and planned to connect her with her new husband.

The new environment in which she lived was completely destroyed, leaving her no chance of survival.

"I really didn't expect that a lowly mistress like you would like to climb up to this elegant place more and more~" Ji Chengcheng didn't seem to notice Gu Nanxi standing not far away.

, just staring at Ji Xinyao's expressionless face with his eyes.

The noise around them all fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes instantly turned to their side. Their eyes were different, but most of them were filled with doubts and inquiries.

"Let me introduce you." Ji Chengcheng stepped forward, suddenly grabbed Ji Xinyao's wrist and lifted her hand up. He smiled and said to everyone around him: "This woman is the one who made trouble in the military area back then.

Born to a famous shameless woman who is making a lot of noise..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Chengcheng's face suddenly froze, and he stared blankly at Gu Nanxi walking out of a dimly lit place, apparently never realizing that he was next to him.13acv.

When she met his eyes, her hand on Ji Xinyao's wrist immediately became a little heavier, and her eyes were filled with a hint of anxiety.

Ji Xinyao frowned in pain, turned her head and looked at Ji Chengcheng's eyes expressionlessly with a look of revenge in her eyes: "Let go."

Ji Chengcheng's eyes quickly turned away from Gu Nanxi's face, and he suddenly turned to look at the coldness in Ji Xinyao's eyes with a sneer: "What's wrong? You little bitch dare to be arrogant with me? I tell you Ji

Xin Yao, this is City Y. Don’t pretend to be here. Show everyone your charming ways. How did you imitate your shameless mother back then and now seduce others?

My childhood sweetheart!"

The scratching on this side attracted Ji Qiuhang's attention. Ji Qiuhang saw the situation on their side through the gap between the crowd from a distance, and vaguely saw Ji Xinyao's back. His face suddenly froze, and he pushed away the crowd and walked towards them slowly.

past.

"I want you to let go!" Ji Xinyao lowered her eyes and looked at Ji Chengcheng's hand on her wrist.

When Ji Chengcheng heard this, he not only refused to let go, but also tightened his grip on her arm and twisted her wrist hard.

Ji Xinyao frowned, and suddenly wanted to raise her hand to push her away, but suddenly, her wrist loosened, and her body, which was almost imprisoned by the cold air, was suddenly surrounded by a familiar warmth. She was stunned, and saw Gu Nan

Xi grabbed her arm that was being ravaged by Ji Chengcheng, clasped her shoulder with his backhand and pulled her in front of him, holding Ji Xinyao's tight fist while Ji Chengcheng stared at him unwillingly.

"Cheng Cheng, you are not a child anymore, don't go too far." Gu Nanxi's eyes were as stern as a brother's, but her hands were tightly clasping Ji Xinyao's chest as if she wouldn't let her escape.

The forbearance on Ji Xinyao's face became more and more obvious. She raised her eyes and looked at the anger in Ji Chengcheng's eyes and Ji Qiuhang and He Manni who were already walking towards this side. Their tightly packed fists were gently touched by Gu Nanxi's palm.

Covering her, he spread her fingers decisively to stop her from destroying her palms with her nails.

"I went too far? Why did I go too far? You married this mean and shameless woman, so you didn't go too far for Wen Qing? Do you think I don't know? Wen Qing was pushed into seclusion by Ji Xinyao the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

, hit her head on a rock, and now there is a red and swollen scar on her forehead. This vicious woman not only robbed my best sister of the man she loved, but also caused her to be disfigured. If I didn’t scold her, who would I scold? Where would I be?

Is it too much?" Ji Chengcheng's eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness. He swallowed hard the fear that shocked him from Gu Nanxi's eyes and plucked up the courage to yell loudly.

"See clearly what the occasion is here. Even if you want to make trouble unreasonably, you have to find the right place!" Gu Nanxi's face was cold and cold, her eyes were as clear as a spring, and her elegance was sharp and no longer soft: "Do you think this is where you are running a family?

Wine, let you do whatever you want!"

"You actually protect her like this?!" Ji Chengcheng suddenly turned red and pointed at Ji Xinyao who was firmly pressed on his chest: "You see clearly, I am your cousin! This woman was almost destroyed back then.

The child of that bitch woman in our family! I told you a long time ago, why are you still marrying her! Why are you protecting her like this?! You..."

"Cheng Cheng!" Ji Qiuhang, who had already approached, suddenly shouted, but it was not harsh. He just interrupted the nonsense that his daughter was about to say when she was about to embarrass herself in front of everyone: "Shut up!"

Ji Chengcheng suddenly stopped talking and looked back at Ji Qiuhang who was walking over: "Dad! Ji Xinyao didn't miss our family's kindness in raising her and stayed out for seven years! Do you still want to recognize such an unfilial daughter?

?!"

As soon as he said this, Ji Chengcheng glared at Ji Xinyao again, turned around and walked to He Manni with a groan.

He Manni stood behind Ji Qiuhang, without showing any sharpness, and took her daughter's hand, as if to comfort her, her eyes fell lightly on Ji Xinyao, and for a moment she looked at Gu Nanxi, who was protecting Ji Xinyao in her arms.

At that moment, his thin eyebrows furrowed secretly.

Ji Qiuhang put his hands behind his waist, his expression was devoid of warmth, and he looked at Ji Xinyao's cold side face as she turned around: "I thought you would never come to Y City again. When did you come back? Why didn't you go home?

Do you still think of me as your father?"

Ji Xinyao sneered, not looking at Ji Qiuhang, looking straight ahead, sneering from the bottom of her heart.
