Caroline stood beside Qiao Xi, and looked at the man beside him vigilantly. After a moment of hesitation, she still asked Qiao Xi, "Sister Qiao Xi, do you know this person?"

"Perhaps." Qiao Xi said, she just gently drank the wine in her glass with her head raised slightly, her movements were a little loose and elegant.

The bright red liquid formed a sharp contrast with Qiao Xi's fair skin, which also made Qiao Xi's complexion even more charming.

Taking a deep breath, Qiao Xi withdrew her gaze, but slowly put the wine glass beside her aside.

There were still quite a few people around who gathered in Qiao Xi's direction. Many people looked at Qiao Xi with surprise in their eyes, and even with a bit of greed and eagerness to move, but in the end there was no one. Dare to come forward.

Looking at the situation in front of her, Qiao Xi felt a little grateful for what Jian Ning did just now.

Although it seemed to cause her a lot of trouble, it also saved him a lot of trouble.

At least now she can save herself from dealing with these irrelevant people.

Thinking about it, the corners of Qiao Xi's eyes twitched slightly, and her mood improved a bit.

Caroline on the side looked at Qiao Xi who was suddenly in a good mood beside her, and blinked, her clear eyes were somewhat puzzled.

Blinking her eyes, in the end Caroline still didn't think clearly, and then she thought about it... It seemed that she had too many things she couldn't figure out clearly, so she just stopped thinking about it.

Silently put away her thoughts in her heart, Caroline also turned her gaze to the banquet in front of her again, no one dared to come to Qiao Xi, Caroline who was with Qiao Xi was a rare feeling Once quiet.

Taking a sip of the wine beside Qiao Xi, Caroline stuck out her tongue out of the heat, her big watery eyes were filled with tears for an instant, looking pitifully at Qiao Xi , eyes full of accusations.

Seeing Caroline's appearance, Qiao Xi also smiled subconsciously, then took a glass of juice from the side and handed it directly to Caroline, smiling slightly, "Drink this, the alcohol content here is not high enough. Low, if you want a lighter prescription, I’ve seen it here, and maybe there really isn’t one.”

As she said that, Qiao Xi looked at Caroline with a bit of helplessness in her eyes.

After listening to Qiao Xi's words, Caroline just pursed her lips in the end, and nodded towards Qiao Xi, signaling that she understood.

I just carefully looked at the wine glass on the side. Although the alcoholic liquid was still coquettish, in the end Caroline looked away embarrassingly, and just quietly held her own juice and sipped it. Say no more.

Although Qiao Xi had tried to reduce her sense of existence as much as possible, some people still gathered towards Qiao Xi.

The girls looked at Qiao Xi with a bit of hostility and curiosity in their eyes, but they still asked Qiao Xi, "Are you Qiao Xi?"

"En." Qiao Xi listened to the words of the girls, just nodded her head lightly, then put down the wine glass in her hand, and smiled slightly at the person in front of her. rude.

"I know you, you are also from the Jane's family, right?" The girl said, looking at Qiao Xi with scrutiny and testing in her eyes, "I've heard of you, although I'm not from the same family. people, but I heard that my brother and they mentioned you."

Qiao Xi understood the girl's words instantly.

If her guess is correct, even if the girl in front of her is not a direct descendant of Jian's family, she is obviously a collateral descendant.

Now that he came up to ask her, he didn't know what kind of plan he was planning.

It has to be said that Jane's family really likes to find things for nothing.

Concealing the impatience in her eyes, Qiao Xi still suppressed the emotions in her heart, and said calmly to the girl in front of her, "I don't know who your brother is, but I'm not from the Jane family, I'm The Qiao family is in country A."

Hearing Qiao Xi's words, the girl was also taken aback. She obviously didn't expect that she would get such an answer. She opened her mouth, but Qiao Xi's words "not from Jane's family" choked her back abruptly.

Stiffing her neck, the girl looked at Qiao Xi and her little face flushed red for a moment.

Seeing the appearance of the girl beside her, the people on the side also poked the girl, then raised her head towards Qiao Xi again, and said, "Don't lie to us, if you say you are not from the Jane family, now What are you doing here? Brother said, unless you want to go back to Jane's house, you won't have any communication with us. "

Listening to the girl's words, Qiao Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly for a while.

I don't know where her magical theory came from.

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, Qiao Xi spoke again to the girl in front of her, with a bit of inexplicable in her clear eyes, "I think, if you don't take the initiative to find her, we won't have any intersection."

"You!" The girl choked up at Qiao Xi's words, as if... It was as if she came to find Qiao Xi on the pole!
But in fact, that seems to be the case.

Suppressing the emotions in her heart, the girl looked at Qiao Xi angrily, but before she could speak this time, Qiao Xi had already opened her mouth first, "Since you like this place, then I will not delay your elegance. "

While talking, Qiao Xi gently raised the wine glass in his hand, and motioned slightly to the girl in front of him, but without waiting for a few people's reactions, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. , and then smiled slightly, "I wish you all a good time."

After finishing speaking, Qiao Xi also turned around and took Caroline away.

Following Qiao Xi's footsteps, Caroline also left immediately.

The two girls behind her can be counted as acquaintances.

Before she came here with Qiao Xi, she also thought that she could get acquainted with the people here and protect Qiao Xi, but now it seems... It seems that Qiao Xi doesn't need her at all,

Thinking of this, Caroline's sense of frustration also grew stronger.

Just thinking about it, the banquet has officially started.

The old lady who went out before has also returned to the hall, sitting on the main seat, with a kind but majestic smile on her face.

The moment the old lady sat on the chair, the people around her also shut up and became quiet.

Seeing that the surroundings were already quiet, the old lady stood up gently leaning on her crutches, and glanced at the people below one by one before she said, "First of all, I am very grateful to everyone for giving me this For the sake of the old lady, come to my birthday banquet, and there is another thing that surprises me, which is the arrival of Mr. X."

As she said that, the old lady also looked in the direction of the man.

And no matter what the old lady said, the man still looked indifferent, just drinking on the sidelines on his own, as if the old lady's identity was not worth the charm of that glass of wine in his eyes.

Regarding the man's reaction, the old lady just glanced lightly, and did not show any dissatisfaction, as if, as it should be.

The way people around looked at the man gradually became more complicated, with awe and curiosity.

After all, although the status of the man is high, but because of the mystery and the seldom appearing, not everyone present knows each other.

The discussion below also sounded slowly along with the man's voice.

"Who is this person? Why is Mrs. Jane so respectful?"

"I don't know, I've never seen it before, but the old lady seems to be very afraid of him..."

"The silver mask, I know a person, and he should be the only person who can be treated like this by the old lady."

"There is an assassination list, since it was listed ten years ago, no one has been able to change it, and no one has been able to shake the top of the list until now, and even now, no one dares to continue to attack him. "

"X! I remembered!"

"How did he appear here..."

The surrounding discussions also began to gradually draw people's attention to the man's true identity, and they all put a lot of distance away from the man, looking at the man with fear in their eyes.

The surrounding atmosphere gradually became a lot more depressing because of the presence of the man.

Qiao Xi stood aside, listening to the discussions around her, the expression on her face became a lot more complicated.

  If Xiao Hansheng is really Mr. X, then ten years ago, Xiao Hansheng was only in his teens, and he was not yet an adult, so would he be able to do this?
Thinking about it, Qiao Xi felt a bit of hesitation in her heart.

At first, she had already determined in her heart that this person was Xiao Hansheng, but now looking at the masked man in front of her, Qiao Xi also felt somewhat suspicious in her heart.

If it is really Xiao Hansheng, then this time is too terrifying.

But if not, how to explain the time when the man appeared, with the man's behavior and the invitation in his hand?

Thinking about it, Qiao Xi's eyes became more hesitant and puzzled, even looking at the man in a complicated way, with hesitation and vigilance.

Caroline, who was on the side, looked at Qiao Xi, who had a serious face beside her, and felt a little worried in her heart.

The vermilion lips were tightly pursed, and then Caroline reached out to Qiao Xi and pulled her sleeve, and said to her, "Sister Qiao Xi, what happened? Is there anything wrong?"

"It's okay." Qiao Xi said, and directly looked away. Although she can't get any definite answer to this matter now, it's only a matter of time before she knows the truth of this matter.

Thinking about it, Qiao Xi simply suppressed the emotions in her heart, dispelled all the thoughts in her mind, smiled slightly at Caroline, and said, "Let's go over there, there are too many people here .”

"Okay." Caroline listened to Qiao Xi's words, but she had no opinion at all, and followed Qiao Xi directly to the side.

The two were originally only invited to come here, but now looking at the situation in front of them, it is obvious that there is not much need to stay.

As for staying now, it is just to see what the Jane family is planning.

Withdrawing her gaze, Qiao Xi always had a faint smile on her face, and after Qiao Xi turned her gaze away, the warmth on the face of the man at the side also faded completely, completely cold It was so thorough that the surrounding air seemed to drop directly to freezing point.

It was frighteningly cold.
