Qiao Qin was a little surprised.

She didn't expect to see Bai Siwen again, so she answered casually, "Nothing, just come here to relax."

"What a coincidence, it seems we are destined to meet." Bai Siwen grinned, like a child who just got his favorite toy.

Qiao Qin was also amused and laughed, "What about you? Are you here to relax too?"

"I'm looking for someone I know." Bai Siwen frowned, his face more serious than ever before, but he soon smiled again.

"Sister, I think you don't have a dance partner yet. Can I invite you to join me later?"

The double waltz can be said to be a basic part of the dinner party.

Qiao Qin opened her mouth and was about to refuse.

next second.

I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of my eye.

The man was wearing a neat suit, looking tall and slender, and his every move revealed a noble temperament, as if the entire banquet hall had become more dazzling because of his presence.

Huo Shiyan.

Is he here too?

Qiao Qin saw him striding towards the door, seemingly anxious, and soon another petite figure came into view.

It’s Bai Mengyi.

The two returned to the banquet hall side by side, communicating continuously along the way.

The man lowered his head and listened carefully, while the girl next to him covered her mouth and giggled. The good-looking couple instantly attracted the attention from all around.

People kept coming to ask questions.

"Is this your boyfriend? He's so handsome."

Bai Mengyi lowered her head shyly, but Huo Shiyan did not deny it.

Qiao Qin stood in the corner and witnessed it all.

A part of her heart seemed to be pulled apart. The bloody wound had not yet healed and the dull pain made it difficult for her to breathe.

When you are heartbroken, you can't control your tears.

Qiao Qin closed her eyes, trying hard to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

Please.

Don't cry.

At least in such an occasion, give her some dignity.

A gentle voice sounded in my ears.

The low voice seemed to be somewhat bewitching.

"Sister, do you want to dance with me?"

"it is good."

Qiao Qin agreed for some unknown reason.

next second.

She was about to regret it, but when she met the boy's expectant gaze, she swallowed the words back silently.

Forget it.

Just this once.

Thinking that Huo Shiyan was also at this dinner party, Qiao Qin's eyes flickered slightly, and an idea flashed through her mind.

and--

Doesn't Huo Shiyan feel sorry for her?

Now that Bai Siwen is by my side, I don't need his pity and sympathy. It will also be a good opportunity to prevent him from coming to me again in the future.

......

Ballroom.

The lights around suddenly dimmed, leaving only a soft glass chandelier in the middle.

Soothing and melodious music slowly sounded.

As more and more people get on the dance floor, it's common to bump into others.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Qiao Qin said embarrassedly.

She was so nervous that she couldn't focus on her movements and would step on the boy in front of her from time to time.

Bai Siwen said in a good-tempered manner: "It's okay, sister, don't worry about me."

Qiao Qin's face turned red, and she accidentally stumbled. When she realized she had stepped on something, she immediately bowed her head and apologized.

next second.

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Bai Siwen asked with a puzzled look.

Qiao Qin raised her head and noticed something was wrong.

She did step on someone.

But that person was not Bai Siwen.

But -

Qiao Qin turned her head and immediately met a pair of cold and terrifying eyes.

The man had a dark face, so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it, and the low pressure around him made people want to escape.

"Huo Shiyan." Qiao Qin murmured.

Huo Shiyan glanced at her coldly, said nothing, grabbed her wrist and pulled her out.

Qiao Qin did not resist.

To be precise, I was scared.

She had never seen Huo Shiyan like this before. His cold eyes were like the sky before a storm, depressing and heavy, making her feel a little breathless.

After the two left, Bai Mengyi and Bai Siwen, who were standing there, looked at each other, with surprise showing on their faces.

"It's you."

"Why are you here?"

The expression on Bai Siwen's face suddenly changed, no longer showing the gentleness and kindness he had shown before when facing Qiao Qin.

"What's the matter with borrowing money on the phone? Why do you suddenly need so much money?"

He questioned in a deep voice, completely ignoring the opinions of passers-by around him.

Bai Mengyi's eyes flashed with panic. She hurriedly pulled the boy to a corner and gestured, "Keep your voice down."

Bai Siwen sneered, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

If others don't know, how can he not know?

This half-sister is not as simple as she seems.

Bai Mengyi's eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice: "Do you know Qiao Qin?"

Bai Siwen was stunned for two seconds before he reacted, and a softness flashed across his eyes.

It turns out her name is Qiao Qin.

He didn't know why, but when they first met in the hot spring hotel, he was attracted by her slightly melancholy temperament.

love at first sight.

Goodbye love.

Unfortunately, the other party seemed to have no interest in him.

Bai Siwen lowered his head, feeling a little depressed.

Seeing his expression, Bai Mengyi instantly understood something and couldn't help but feel a nameless anger burning in her heart.

What's so good about that widow?

Why are all these men interested in her?

But she could just take advantage of this.

Bai Mengyi rolled her eyes and soon came up with a brilliant plan.

Her voice was low and a little bewitching: "You like Qiao Qin, right? I can help you."

Bai Siwen was about to refuse, but the throbbing in his heart made him shut his mouth and listen to what the person in front of him had to say first.

Bai Mengyi suddenly changed the subject, her eyes red and she choked up as she said, "I was defrauded of 50 million. If I can't get the money together within three days, I'll be dead."

Fifty million!

Although the Bai family has some money, they definitely cannot come up with such a huge sum of money.

Bai Siwen's eyes widened. He no longer had the mind to think about love affairs. He grabbed Bai Mengyi and walked out.

"Where?"

"Of course call the police."

Bai Mengyi didn't expect the person in front of her to react so violently. She stood there and gritted her teeth and said, "I can't go."

She had no choice but to make up a story, crying as she told it, portraying herself as a victim.

"If those photos were to get out, I wouldn't be able to live anymore." Bai Mengyi said this excitedly and banged her head against a pillar.

fortunately.

Bai Siwen was quick to prevent the tragedy from happening, and at the same time gave up the idea of ​​calling the police. He said dejectedly, "So what do you want to do?"

Bai Mengyi wiped her tears, her tone full of pleading: "Now only you can help me."

"How can I help?" Bai Siwen asked puzzledly.

Bai Mengyi's eyes flickered slightly, and she leaned close to his ear and said, "Qiao Qin is very rich. I heard that she just spent 30 million to buy a jade necklace at an auction. She can definitely easily come up with 50 million. You can..."
