Jiang Qi suddenly turned the topic to Ming Man. Ming Man didn't know what to say and could only smile and reply, "Long time no see."

"Sister Mingman is getting more and more beautiful." Jiang Qi chatted with Mingman very familiarly.

"You are becoming more and more beautiful. I almost didn't recognize you when you came in just now." Mingman raised a gentle smile on her face and answered in a soft tone.

"What else is there to say? It's been such a long time since we last saw each other. You don't miss me, and you don't even say you'll come to see me." Jiang Qi blamed her coquettishly.

"I'm not busy." Compared with Jiang Qi's familiarity, Mingman's tone of response seemed a little stiff.

In fact, the two of them were not familiar with each other, very unfamiliar. Because Ming Man was two years older than Jiang Qi, the two families did not have much contact when Ming Man was young. She went abroad when she was fifteen. So the two of them had only met two or three times since they were young, and they had hardly spoken. If they walked on the street, they probably wouldn't recognize each other or say hello.

Originally, she was not the theme of this social event. She was just here to serve as a background. So Ming Man really didn't know what to talk to Jiang Qi about, so she could only follow Jiang Qi's rhythm to make small talk. Although she also knew that Miss Jiang was acting very familiar with her at the moment because she wanted to change the topic and didn't want to socialize with her brother anymore, she really didn't know how to respond.

If she answered too many calls, her father would definitely be unhappy. She wasn't the main character in this social event. If she answered too few, she would offend Jiang Qi. Her mother said that Miss Jiang was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

"Are you so busy that you don't even have time to come and see me?" Jiang Qi asked in a somewhat aggrieved voice.

While Ming Man was still thinking about how to reply, He Sangran, who had been standing next to her, took over the conversation very naturally and said, "There will be plenty of time in the future, and we can meet often." At the same time, he put his arm around Ming Man's shoulders, looking very intimate.

Jiang Qi looked at the person in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked Ming Man, "Who is this?"

Before Ming Man could reply, He Sangran took over and said, "Hello, my last name is He Sangran." Then he raised his hand and made a handshake gesture to Jiang Qi.

But Jiang Qi did not respond. Instead, she looked at Ming Luosheng with a puzzled look. Although she roughly guessed what was going on, there was nothing she could do as she was a grudge holder. She still remembered that he had thrown money at her.

Ming Luosheng saw Jiang Qi looking at him. Although he didn't know why Jiang Qi suddenly changed the subject and left them there in the cold, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But at this moment Jiang Qi gave him a way out, and as an elder he couldn't be too embarrassed. He could only take over and say: "Come here, this little Sang Ran, the future successor of Mr. He. He is also Manman's current fiancé." Now those two words have a special meaning, and everyone present understands.

"Oh!" Jiang Qi made an expression of sudden enlightenment, then raised her hand and shook hands with him and replied, "Hello, Jiang Qi." This marked the completion of a formal meeting.

"By the way, where is Grandpa He? Why can't I see him?" Jiang Qi asked.

"I was not feeling well the past two days, and it was not convenient for me to be hospitalized, so I have to come today."

"Master He is young and promising."

"No, no. I'll have to trouble Miss Jiang to take care of you in the future."

"No, I'm the one in trouble." Jiang Qi was a little surprised when he looked at the man in front of him. He looked so startled last time. He thought he was a reckless guy, but he turned out to be quite smart and sensible.

Jiang Qi and He Sangran were both smiling and chatting. But the deeper meaning was still the same: only those who understand can understand. At least Jiang Qi thought Mingyu didn't understand, and just glanced at him out of the corner of his eye. I don't know why he seemed to be thinking about something from just now, and didn't care what happened here at all.

"Come, let me toast Miss Jiang." He Sangran said as he took the wine glass from the waiter behind him and handed it to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi raised her hand to block it and declined politely: "I'm sorry, I can't drink." After that, she looked at Ming Luosheng as if asking for help.

Ming Luosheng had no choice but to speak up and say, "Yes, Qiqi, you can't drink. This is the rule set by Jinhua, right?"

"No."

Finally, she smiled and said to He Sangran and Mingyu, "Sangran, Ayu, you two must remember that in the future, you can only invite Miss Jiang for tea, not alcohol."

"Oh." Mingyu responded as if he had come to his senses when he heard him being called, and then he was stunned again. Jiang Qi looked at him and couldn't help but wonder if this person had some IQ problems. Is this person really Gu Jingcheng's opponent?

"Then I'll come to a tea party next time. You must honor me." He Sangran replied with a smile.

"Of course." Jiang Qi responded with a gentle smile.

"Then please toast to me, both of you?" He Sangran said this to Bai Qianyu and Tang Xin.

When they were talking just now, the two of them stood quietly in the back without interrupting. They were just the background. Not many people who came here today were here to toast them. People who came here were looking for Jiang Qi. This was also the reason why Jiang Qi thought that Gu Jingcheng would only arrange her to sit at a table alone.

"Of course." Tang Xin smiled and picked up the wine glass to greet him.

"Come on, Sister Xin, I toast you." He Sangran and Tang Xin clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. They were both in the same circle and were considered people of the same level, so naturally they knew each other.

Then he came to Bai Qianyu. Jiang Qi hadn't paid much attention to him just now. But now he looked quite normal.

"What's this person's name?" He Sangran asked Jiang Qi as if he didn't know Bai Qianyu.

Jiang Qi suddenly had the idea of ​​teasing, so she held Bai Qianyu's arm and said, "This is Bai Qianyu, my good friend, and the person I plan to marry."

As soon as Jiang Qi finished speaking, everyone showed a shocked expression, except Mingyu who had been offline the whole time.

Jiang Qi clearly saw He Sangran's expression crack at that moment, and her heart suddenly felt a little relieved, and she finally let out the anger from last time.

Ming Luosheng was the first to react and said seriously: "Qiqi, you are a girl, so don't make jokes carelessly."

"Ming Shibo, what you said is so ridiculous. How could I possibly make such a joke? Qian Yu and I have known each other for so many years, and we are quite compatible in all aspects. We are almost ready to get married."

"Really? What about Jinhua..." Ming Luosheng probed.

"Of course my mother knows. She also likes Qian Yu very much."

"Then Uncle Ming congratulates you first." Ming Luosheng was smiling at this time, but his tone was a little stiff. He originally thought that his son was not bad in terms of appearance and other aspects. It would be best if Ming Yu and Jiang Qi could get to know each other more and get married. He didn't care about the relationship between her and Gu Jingcheng. Knowing that Jiang Qi was back, he planned to let them meet at the banquet today, and then come to propose marriage when Shi Jinhua came back.

"Thank you, Uncle Ming." Jiang Qi knew Ming Luosheng's thoughts, so she said this to avenge what happened that day and to piss off Sang Ran. She also wanted to tell Ming Luosheng not to waste his time on her, because otherwise she would have to spend energy dealing with them, which she found annoying.

"Sang Ran, Sang Ran." He Sang Ran was still standing there in a daze. Ming Man, who was standing beside him, called him twice in a worried voice.

He Sangran came back to his senses, looked at her and gave her a comforting smile, then shook his head slightly to show that he was fine.

So he took the wine jug from the waiter, filled the glass, and pushed it towards Bai Qianyu, saying, "Then I have to toast you. Congratulations!"

Bai Qianyu just reached out to take it. Not sure if it was intentional or not, the wine glass brushed past his fingertips and hit the rim of his bowl, then all the liquid spilled onto it.

The scene was quiet for a moment, and before anyone could react, He Sangran quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was drunk and didn't mean it." He quickly reached out to touch Bai Qianyu's hand.

As a result, as soon as it touched him, Bai Qianyu waved it away without leaving a trace.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Bai Qianyu said in a calm and polite tone.

He whispered to Jiang Qi, "I'll go take care of it." Jiang Qi responded softly. Then he said to Ming Luosheng, "I'll leave you first." Then he left without even glancing at He Sangran.

"I'm sorry Miss Jiang, I really didn't mean it." He Sangran's tone was somewhat self-blaming, but Jiang Qi did not feel his self-blame. He said this to Jiang Qi, but his eyes could not help but look in the direction where Bai Qianyu left.

"It's okay. Just deal with it. This wine won't stain the color. Just dilute the smell of alcohol." Jiang Qi tried to comfort him again, but he obviously didn't care what Jiang Qi said.

"I'd better go see if he needs any help, and I'll sober up." His tone was a little anxious.

"That's fine, go ahead, thank you for your help." Before Jiang Qi finished speaking, He Sangran walked away. Jiang Qi looked at him and found him a little amusing, he was just a kid.

"Alas, it seems he really drank too much. This kid is not usually so reckless." Ming Luosheng tried to smooth things over for He Sangran.

"Oh, it's okay, it's just a kid."

"Then Qiqi, you eat first. Uncle Ming will go say hello to some old friends."

"Okay, Uncle Ming, take care."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries before Ming Luosheng finally left with Ming Man and Ming Yu. But when Ming Yu left, she took another deep look at Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi was confused by the look. She muttered to Tang Xin beside her, "Is Mingyu okay?"

Tang Xin answered uncertainly: "It should be fine. He was quite normal when I met him first." She had been watching from the side just now, and she had the same question as Jiang Qi.

But the next moment she stopped hesitating and moved closer to Jiang Qi and asked in a low voice: "Is there something going on between He Sangran and Mr. Bai?" Facts have proved that as long as women are together, they can't escape from gossiping.

"I don't know. Anyway, Mr. Bai didn't tell me."

"He didn't even tell you?"

"But look at them like that..." Jiang Qi hadn't finished her words when she was interrupted by the next wave of people who came to see her. The two had no choice but to put the topic aside and discuss it again when they had the chance.

These people come in waves one after another without stopping.

Finally, after greeting and seeing off another group of people, Jiang Qi saw Su Muqing and Gu Jingcheng, and stood up to greet the guests and toast. He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that no one would come for the time being. During this period, Bai Qianyu had not returned, and Jiang Qi did not care too much.

Gu Jingcheng took Du Ruo to the side where most of the guests were men, while Su Muqing took Luo Keke to the side where most of the guests were women.

Jiang Qi frowned as she looked at them, and started to move towards the nearest tables one by one. She asked Tang Xin as if she was asking herself, "Aren't Rococo and Su Muqing good friends?"
