Chapter 520
She Is From The Countryside
?
520 she said she had no choice
shi yan had just walked over, but before she could speak, song meilian said,âShi Yan, youâre here. Come and sit. you donât seem to be in good spirits. are you not feeling well?â
as she spoke, she pulled jiang rui closer to her, trying to make space for shi yan.
however, jiang rui left the space between the two of them empty for shi yan to sit in the middle.
Jiang Rui was already very apologetic to song Meilian when she agreed to let that girl appear at their gathering. although song meilian looked like she didnât care, she knew that song meilian couldnât possibly not care.
song meilian and yan were more familiar with each other. at this time, yan was more suitable to sit next to song meilian.
Hearing song Meilianâs question, Shi Yanâs expression was unnatural for a moment, but she quickly recovered and sat down with a smile.
âno, itâs just that i didnât rest well since i went out early in the morning to take a plane.â
âWhy didnât you go out to play?â she was asking why song meilian didnât go out with jing xuan during the holiday.
as she spoke, shi yan glanced at the girl sitting on the other side of jing xuan.
She looked to be a few years older than them, about 22 or 23 years old. She looked very obedient, not in the same style as song Meilian.
song meilian was a cold goddess, and the girl looked like the sister next door.
Seeing that Shi Yan was looking at her, the girl smiled and nodded at her, looking cute and obedient. he really didnât look like someone who would force a threesome on someone who didnât like him.
Shi Yan glanced at her and then turned to Jing Xuan, who was sitting in the middle.
as an outsider, it wasnât appropriate for her to interfere in other peopleâs private affairs. but if jing xuan, the person involved, allowed a girl who was interested in him to stay by his side and make song meilian unhappy, shi yan would still have a prejudice against him.
there was no other reason. song meilian was her friend.
however, seeing jing xuanâs frighteningly dark face, which seemed to be angrier than song meilian, shi yan looked away from him.
â no, jing xuan has been busy with something recently. we plan to go out in a few days. â
he then asked her and jiang che what they were planning to do next, whether they would stay in haicheng to rest or go out. shi yan said that she would decide in two days.
After chatting for a while.
Jing Xuan didnât interrupt the whole time, and the girl also sat on the side obediently without disturbing him.
Shi Yan found out the girlâs name during the chat.
On the MU planet.
Among the people invited by Jiang Rui were a few daughters of Haichengâs influential families whom Shi Yan had never met before. One of them knew mu Xingxing and had just called her name.
âyan, do you want some wine? the red wine on the table was sent over by big brother han. he said it was a new product from the winery.â jiang rui said.
There was quite a lot of wine on the table. Some were already opened, and some were not.
there was indeed a faint wine fragrance.
Shi Yan wanted to say that she wouldnât drink tonight, but she saw song Meilian pick up a glass and start pouring wine.âdrink some. i just drank a few glasses of this wine. itâs not strong, so it wonât get you drunk easily.â
Shi Yan could tell that song Meilian wanted to drink it herself.
âthen letâs drink two cups.â âIâll pour it.â Song Meilian took the wine from her hand.
âAre you drinking? theyâre having a big game over there, and i donât have a good tolerance for alcohol, so i donât dare to join in on the fun. but itâs really boring to just sit here.â
as soon as mu xingxing spoke, several people looked at her.
including jing xuan.
jing xuan frowned hard.
Mu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said,âwhy are you all looking at me like that?â Is there something on my face? Or ... Or do you guys not want to play with me?â
towards the end of her sentence, her tone sounded a little aggrieved.
it wasnât pretentious, it was purely aggrieved and a little pitiful.
it was easy to make people pity him.
of course, shi yan was definitely not one of the people who would take pity on her.
When Shi Yan was ruthless, even she herself felt that she was ruthless. She had never had any sympathy for unimportant people.
No one paid attention to mu Xingxing, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.
jiang rui laughed in her heart and put on a fake smile.âhow could this be? seeing how well-behaved miss mu is, i thought you didnât know how to drink. iâve neglected you.â
it was really difficult for her to be the host!
she really wanted to curse at someone who had sneaked into a private meeting she did not know.
thatâs right, jiang rui didnât know mu xing, even though mu xing was from a certain family in haicheng.
The MU family was barely qualified to be in their circle, and mu Xingxing was usually not qualified to move around in their circle.
He didnât know where she had befriended the young miss of the Xie family in the capital.
speaking of the eldest daughter of the xie family in the capital, jiang rui had never heard of her before. she was only giving the xie family face.
who asked the xie family to have such a powerful head?
Her brother had mentioned Xie Heng to her before. He was a powerful figure comparable to her fifth uncle. Her brother had also warned her not to offend the Xie family if possible.
âiâll give miss mu a toast as an apology.â
âYoung miss Jiang, youâre too kind.â mu xingxing took the wine from jiang rui and raised his glass to her with a smile. he seemed to want to clink glasses with her, but found that he was a little far away.
He looked at Jing Xuan and said,âIâm sorry, young master Jing. Can I change seats with you?â I want to play with miss Jiang and the other girls, so Iâm sitting a little far from here.â
jing xuanâs face darkened a little more. apparently, he didnât want to give her the seat. he couldnât bear it anymore and was about to explode.
Song Meilian touched his hand.
He looked at song Meilian.
after looking at each other for a few seconds, or rather, jing xuan stared at song meilian for a few seconds, he got up and left, going to where jiang cheng and the others were.
Mu Xingxing sat down.
after jing xuan left, she was sitting next to song meilian.
âIâm sorry, miss song, for chasing your boyfriend away. but then again, your relationship with your boyfriend is really good. he couldnât bear to leave you for the whole night.â
mu xingxing smiled when she saw the three of them looking at her, â I know you have misunderstood me. I think I need to explain myself.
I am indeed the fiancée that Madam Jing has chosen for master Jing, but it was just a joke. How can you take it seriously? â
âBesides, Iâve heard a thing or two about who the head of family Jing is even if I donât pay attention to the business world. But our Mu family is just a small family, and I donât dare to disobey Madam Jingâs will, so ...â
âIâm sorry, miss song. I really didnât mean to come here tonight to make you unhappy. I had no choice. Iâll toast this cup of wine to you as an apology to Qianqian. Iâll punish myself with three cups to show my sincerity.â
song meilian watched her drink three glasses of wine in a row.
he didnât speak.
She didnât know if he believed her.
shi yan and jiang rui didnât say anything either. they spun their wine glasses in their hands and watched quietly.
After drinking three glasses of wine in one go, mu Xingxing hesitated and said, â âlooks like miss song hasnât vented her anger, then iâll punish myself with three more cups of tea.â
âNo need,â
song meilian finally spoke.
âalthough the wine is not strong, itâs easy to get drunk if you drink like miss mu. weâre just drinking and chatting, not getting drunk.â
She gently knocked on the glass,âthereâs just one thing I donât understand, Yingluo.â
