It sounds like I'm short of money

In the lounge, Nangong Rong saw that Su Xici came back empty-handed, and asked suspiciously, "Where's the food?"

Only then did Su Xici remember, "I'm sorry, something happened, I'll go get another plate right now."

"It's okay, no need, I ate a little before you came, and I'm not hungry now."

"But you can't drink like this. I'll get you a drink." He confiscated the wine at the table.

"I'll just drink a little," Nangong Rong complained, "You won't let me drink in the manor, and you won't let me drink when you come out to attend a banquet. Be careful, I'll go to Zhan Ran to sue you."

The older he gets, the more childlike his temper is. Nangong Rong doesn't have many hobbies, drinking is one of them, but now his health is failing, drinking too much is not good for the heart, and being strictly controlled by Su Xici, the more he tries to steal it.

Seeing him holding the wine glass in a daze, the old man called out tentatively, "Susu?"

"Ah?" Su Xici suddenly woke up, "What's the matter, master?"

"What's wrong with you? Want to drink?"

He looked at the wine glass in his hand and smiled, "No."

"Anything on your mind?"

"No." He poured the wine in the glass into the trash can, and took the bottle away, "Don't guess."

"Don't think that I'm old-fashioned, even if my eyes are blurred, my heart is still open." Nangong Rong looked at the wine bottle for the last time, and said, "You can't say that to someone who is going to be buried like me?"

"No." Su Xici put down the wine bottle, feeling uneasy.

He thought for a while and asked, "You said, a person who remembers all your likes and dislikes and tries to protect you in public, what is that?"

He was genuinely confused.

Nangong Rong said casually, "Isn't his status low?"

"Why do you say that?"

"The second time you meet, take the initiative to call out the other person's name, remember all the likes and dislikes of the people you have dealt with, quietly considerate the other person, and arrange everything so that the other person always feels comfortable when interacting with you, and behaves modestly and politely. It’s the most basic communication etiquette in our circle. If you do too much, you’ll get used to it, and it’s no big deal.”

This is what a wealthy family left them.

"It's no big deal...is it?" Su Xici murmured.

"Then, some words that come from the bottom of your heart, can you just come out of your mouth?"

"Don't you talk too much to the employees in the usual meetings?" Nangong Rong said indifferently.

Su Xici forced a smile, put the cup on the table, "I'm going to the bathroom."

A spoonful of water was poured on his face, and the cold feeling stimulated every pore on his face, with a slight tingling pain, pulling his sanity back.

What on earth is he thinking? Such a little thing is worth zooming in on.

Nangong Ran yelled at him a few days ago, threatening to tell everyone about his unbearable side, but later realized that he knew that he would have a shadow on the crab, so he gave up.

Moreover, if he hadn't found that photo in Sun Shan's camera, he would have never lost his doubts about himself.

When did he feel better about himself.

Su Xici blinked, pulled out a piece of paper to wipe the water from his sweaty face, and put on his glasses again.

He looked at himself in the mirror, and slowly pulled out a standard smiling face.

Coming out of the bathroom, Nangong Rong was no longer in the lounge. He walked to the hall, and everything had returned to an orderly state.After sweeping around in a hurry, he walked towards the gathering place of Nangong's family.

"Master." He approached Nangong Ran and greeted him.

Seeing him coming, Nangong Ran glanced indifferently and said, "Stretch out your hand."

He held out his palm suspiciously.

There was a delicate plate of chocolate cake in his palm, with a strong sweet and bitter taste.

"Eat quickly," he ordered.

"Why did you give it to me?" He was very puzzled.

"Have you eaten tonight?"

"No."

"Then I gave you this, not for eating, but for watching?" Nangong Ran said irritably, "Don't dawdle, it won't taste good when the cream melts later."

"Oh." Su Xici was really hungry, picked up the fork, went to the corner to eat gracefully and quickly.

When the plate was over, he licked his lips reservedly, put the plate aside awkwardly, and continued to stand behind Nangong Rong.

Seeing him, Xiao Qun asked in a low voice, "I heard you won't resign again?"

Su Xici didn't look sideways, and said softly: "The salary here is quite high, and I have no intention of leaving for the time being."

The man wearing sunglasses twisted his mouth, "Okay."

For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was joy, anger or disappointment, "You want me to go?"

"My brother still owes you a favor, who can you ask to pay it back when you leave?"

"I didn't do anything." It turned out that was all.

"Also, I haven't forgotten your ban on my brother."

Nangong Ranqiong stood there very bored, listening to Tian Cheng, Situ Se and the others talking, out of the corner of his eye, he caught Su Xici and Xiao Qun talking in a low voice, and cleared their throats.

All eyes on the scene were on him.

Su Xici is no exception.

Nangong Ran felt relieved, and said, "That man just now is Shang Qian?"

"Yes," Situ Se explained to his friend, "I didn't mean to target you just now. He usually has a good temper, but when he met that woman, he was excited for a while, so he spoke rudely to you."

Just at the beginning, the male one male and the second male fired at each other for her, which is worthy of being the heroine.

"It's just a clown." Nangong Rong coughed twice, covering her handkerchief, "I really think of myself as a character."

"Who is that woman?" Nangong Ran asked.

"A singer who just debuted, her name is Huabei." Tian Cheng said, "She sang the theme song of my last TV series, and her voice is not bad. I didn't expect her personality to be like this. A good birthday party completely disappointed her."

"Knowing people, knowing face but not heart, it's a taste of posturing." Nangong Wennan sneered, "I just threw myself into someone's arms and kissed me. Have you never seen a man?"

The heroine's strength is strong, as soon as she appeared on the stage, she achieved the achievement of forming a bridge with the two vicious female partners.

If it wasn't her who threw herself down just now, there would probably be another vicious cannon fodder waiting to be dealt with by the male lead.

This kind of ability is difficult for Su Xici to match.

"So, that woman originally wanted to throw herself on Susu to attract his attention?" Mr. Nangong sat firmly in the C seat of the crowd, and focused everyone's attention on Su Xici as soon as he spoke.

"No, it was just an accident." Don't talk nonsense, old man, I already feel a chilly coercion.

"Grandpa, it's not Steward Su, but Shang Qian," Nangong Minnan clarified, "He's more handsome, gentle and gentlemanly than Steward Su, but he's too innocent to understand women's tricks."

Her words became smaller and smaller, seeing Nangong Ran staring at her expressionlessly, she quickly shut up and pretended to be a quail.

"If she has anything worth talking about, leave her alone and spoil everyone's interest." Tian Cheng stood up generously and raised his glass. "Everyone have a good time tonight, I'm sorry."

Situ Se and Nangong Wennan followed Tian Cheng to leave. Nangong Rong met some friends and asked Xiao Qun to push him to greet them.

Su Xici caught Shangqian and Huabei coming out of the locker room from the corner of their eyes. The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious.

They used to be classmates in middle and high school, and the university was in the same school. Later, the heroine dropped out of school due to family reasons, and Shang Qian went abroad. The two had no contact for several years.

Not far away, someone was also staring at the two.

"That woman is really disgusting." Nangong Minnan said, "I bumped into someone first, but first accused and forced others to apologize. I pretended to be innocent and looked like a victim."

"I heard from others just now that she is just an illegitimate daughter with no family education, and Hua Buwan is her half-sister." Tian Cheng stretched out a finger with the hand holding the wine glass, pointing not far away A woman with venomous eyes.

"Why don't I have an impression of her?" Nangong Minnan raised her eyebrows.

"It's just a small third-tier star, relying on his own company to gain momentum, and now the company is going bankrupt and has no resources."

"Why do you invite this kind of person here? A bunch of bugs. A good coming-of-age ceremony has become like this."

"She is the No. [-] movie actress that I won the award before. I am not happy, everyone is invited here. Otherwise, with them alone, I would not even be able to touch the threshold of my Tian family." Tian Cheng said coldly.

"I have an idea." Nangong Wennan smiled, "Since she ruined your banquet and ruined your good mood, let's have some fun with her."

Tian Cheng's apricot eyes were clear, and some couldn't understand, "How can I have fun?"

"My elder brother recently came back from Africa and brought some good things." Nangong Minnan took out a pack of yellow powder from her handbag.

"What is this?" Tian Cheng said in fear, "I won't do anything that hurts people."

"Silly girl, how can I go around with poison, this is just for fun." It's just that the medicine is much stronger than normal.

"I was going to..." She looked at Shang Qian, and changed the topic, "It's just to make her look ugly. If you let Hua Buwan go, even if something happens, you won't suspect us."

Tian Cheng held the medicine bag hesitantly, but was pushed by Nangong Minnan, "Go, everything will be fine."

Su Xici's eyes keenly caught their behavior, and when Tian Cheng walked towards Hua Buwan, he noticed that the plot line was about to start to work.

Hua Wude once cheated on Huabei's mother, and he knew he was guilty, allowing his wife and daughter to bully Huabei's mother and daughter for so many years.The mother and daughter always felt that they were the true love in Huawude's heart, and would rather endure all the bullying silently for love. Huabei was also the image of a little white flower who was always bullied by everyone in the early stage.

On this point, Su Xici just wants to say one thing about the author's setting: brain damage.

Now that the hero and heroine have met, then the story will begin immediately. Hua Beiju was bankrupted by Nangong Ran and had nowhere to go. He listened to Mrs. Hua, exchanged his daughter for money, joined hands with his eldest daughter to drug Huabei's wine, and prepared a banquet When it's over, it's sent upstairs to the hotel suite, where a greasy man will be waiting for her.

Of course, it turned out that Hua Buwan entered the prepared room by mistake, and Huabei went to the presidential suite on the top floor by mistake.

It's just that the current banquet is held by Tian's family, not all cats and dogs can enter.Without the help of Hua Beiju and his wife, can Hua Buwan and Tian Cheng successfully prescribe the medicine?

Su Xici began to worry.

"Master, what's your impression of Huabei?" He was in the bathroom at the time, and he didn't know what was going on outside.

"An annoying person who keeps crying." Nangong Ran became angry when he thought of this woman.

"Do you want to have more contact with her?" He asked in an indirect way.

"No." He said decisively.

"Why?" He was a little surprised.

"It sounds like I'm short of money." Nangong Ran said with disgust.

"Uh..." he asked tentatively, "Don't you have... the feeling of being moved?"

"When is my heart not moving? It's not dead. It's moving when I look at you. Could it be that..." Nangong Ran looked at the person beside him, speechless.

The crystal chandelier above the head was blindingly bright, illuminating Su Xici's skin white and translucent, his cheeks looked soft, delicate and smooth, like Xue Mei Niang with creamy cherry filling.

His facial features are delicate and delicate, and the contours of his face are round and smooth, but he can't be mistaken for a girl.The crescent eyes on this face always carry a half-smile, and the tails of the eyes are narrow and long, gentle and calm.The corners of the lips are slightly raised, and the shallow chin-labial groove is looming, making the two lips more round and full, as if the people around you can just bend down slightly to pick them up.

But this is like a carefully drawn mask, every stroke and every arc of expression is the result of design with ulterior motives, making him look so perfect, firm and strong enough to be reliable for others to rely on.

Every stroke that fell on the face shattered the pride and arrogance in Nangong Ran's eyes.

He licked his dry lips and looked away more hastily than fleeing.
