But Tang Zhixia really didn't want to be too high-profile. There were so many high-status guests here tonight, and it was inappropriate for her to sit here.
She called a restaurant manager next to her and told him that she wanted to change seats and go to her father's table. As soon as the manager heard that her family was there, he immediately came over to make arrangements and changed the seats.
Tang Zhixia sat next to his father, with his son in the middle, Li Jie sat on the left side of Tang Jun, and Tang Qingqing ran to sit at the table with Song Shan.
When Tang Zhixia raised his head, he accidentally saw a group of guests walking in and chatting in a low voice with the older man at the head. Who was it if it wasn't Xi Jiuchen?
He was wearing a black suit tonight, he was dignified, charming and polite.
Tonight, he lost his usual aloof majesty and became more humble, calm and worldly. No matter which side he looked at, he exuded a charming charm.
Tang Zhixia was looking at him. The man seemed to feel her gaze. Across the guest room, his eyes were as deep as the sea. When he saw her changing positions, he frowned unhappily.
Tang Zhixia's heart was inexplicably tickled by this look, and she was filled with a sense of bewilderment. She subconsciously picked up a tea cup and pretended to drink tea.
This scene also fell in the eyes of a third person, Song Shan. Her eyes did not move away from Xi Jiuchen when he walked in. Therefore, whether Xi Jiuchen was greeting the guests or flirting with Tang Zhixia from afar,
She saw it all.
At this moment, a luxurious black car stopped by the fountain pool outside the hall. The door opened, and a slender leg stepped down, followed by a girl in a silver evening dress. She was twenty-five years old, and the light shone brightly.
Showing her exquisite and perfect makeup and her sparkling bright eyes.
She twisted her waist and walked to the old man who got off the car on the other side. She put her arm around him and said, "Let's go in!"
The old man gave her a complicated look and let her help him up the steps. At this moment, Xi Jiuchen, who had received the news, came to the door.
"Uncle Jin, you are finally here, please come in." Xi Jiuchen greeted the old man respectfully. He was one of the few close friends his father had when he was alive.
"Jiuchen! Long time no see." Lin Jin reached out and patted his shoulder. At this moment, a clear female voice asked with a sweet smile, "Dad, please introduce me to him!"
Lin Jin's smile froze slightly, and he said to Xi Jiuchen, "Jiuchen, let me introduce you, this is my daughter Jingjing."
Xi Jiuchen was slightly stunned. He only knew that Lin Jin had a son, but this was the first time he heard that he had a daughter.
"Hello, Miss Lin."
"Hello, Master Xi, my name is Lin Jingjing." Lin Jingjing looked at him with a smile on her face.
"Jingjing, you go in first, Jiuchen and I will have a chat." Lin Jin said to his daughter.
Lin Jingjing turned around and smiled, "Okay, Dad."
Lin Jin couldn't help but hold Xi Jiuchen's hand, a complex look of shame flashed across his face, and sighed, "Jiuchen, Jingjing is the illegitimate daughter I recognized from outside. Please take good care of her in the future."
Xi Jiuchen nodded in understanding, "I will definitely do it, Uncle Jin."
After the guests had almost arrived, the dishes began to be served. Tang Zhixia also saw Xi Jiuchen sitting at his seat, and Zhan Qingye also arrived, who just ran over to say hello.
Tonight's dishes are on the table. Each dish has an auspicious meaning, and the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. It is appetizing and enjoyable to eat.
Tang Zhixia took care of his son while eating, and Tang Jun was also helping. At the other table, Tang Qingqing kept looking in the direction of Xi Jiuchen, expecting something in her heart.
Song Shan saw this and laughed in her heart. Tang Qingqing also wanted to take advantage of Xi Jiuchen?
Tang Zhixia was enjoying his meal when suddenly a deep male voice from behind suddenly penetrated into his ears, "Uncle Tang, let me toast you."
Even if Tang Zhixia didn't look back, she still knew who was behind her. Moreover, a big palm on her back was holding her ambiguously, and the gentle palm spread a heat that made her heart beat faster.
But the whole table was welcoming Xi Jiuchen's toast, and no one noticed where his hand was. Tang Zhixia also stood up with the whole table, but the hand on her back was still there, and she was embarrassed.
Look at him.
"Uncles and aunties, please forgive me for my poor greeting." The man's deep magnetic voice was polite.
"Where, where."
This table was filled with elders from the branch of the Xi family. Their eyes were full of courtesy and respect towards the current young head of the Xi family.
At this moment, the man's hand reached from her back to her shoulders and whispered in her ear, "Zhixia, say hello to me."
Tang Zhixia's face couldn't help but blush. Another meaning of this sentence was that she was not regarded as a guest, but as one of his own.
"Uncle Xi, you are so handsome tonight!" Tang Yuchen praised.
"You too." Xi Jiuchen leaned down and rubbed his little head with his big palm, "Uncle will come to play with you later."
"Okay!" The little guy nodded sensibly.
Xi Jiuchen went to serve other tables again. Only then did Tang Zhixia look back at his figure. He was followed by Chu Hao. Even though he was tall and tall, he still couldn't hide the fact that the descendants of the Xi family were weak. Among the lively guests, Tang Zhixia
I actually felt the loneliness in that man.
Her heart froze, and she realized that this man supported the entire Xi Group alone. Outsiders saw him as glorious and glorious, but how many people saw the hard work and loneliness behind him?
The food in Tang Zhixia's mouth actually tasted a little astringent. She looked at the man again. Even though he was walking alone, he still had the domineering power of an army.
Xi Jiuchen also came to Song Shan's table. The guests at this table were all juniors of the Xi family. Xi Jiuchen just raised his cup and left after saying a few polite words. Song Shan wanted to take the opportunity to show her relationship with him.
There is no chance of relationship.
"Shanshan, you are so destined to the Xi family, are you familiar with Xi Jiuchen?" Tang Qingqing asked curiously.
"Everything I have now was given to me by him, do you agree?" Song Shan couldn't stop showing off.
"What? You and Xi Jiuchen are very familiar with each other? Then you..." Tang Qingqing was dumbfounded in surprise, not to mention the envy, jealousy and hatred in her heart.
"I'll tell you later." Song Shan didn't want to say this at the dinner table. Tang Qingqing was shocked and envious in her heart, and wanted to know all this immediately.
Song Shan was not afraid to tell her about this, thinking that anyway, Tang Qingqing and Xi Jiuchen had no chance of contact, and Tang Qingqing's mind was very simple, so he could just fool her casually.
Around eight o'clock, the guests all had a good meal, and then they headed to the birthday hall. Zhan Qingye came to Tang Zhixia's table and took the little guy away. Tang Zhixia accompanied his father out of the restaurant.
Over in the birthday celebration hall, singing and dancing were already playing, people were drinking and drinking, and the guests were chatting and laughing happily, showing a festive atmosphere.
At this time, all the close relatives and elders of the Xi family came to celebrate Mrs. Xi's birthday first. Tang Zhixia suddenly wanted to relax nearby.
"Dad, you go ahead! I'll be back in a moment."
After Tang Zhixia finished speaking, he casually chose a road with few people. The night sky tonight is beautiful. I am used to the bustling and crowded high-rise buildings in the city center. It feels really good to come to this empty manor at night.
.
The bustle behind her became smaller and smaller. Tang Zhixia saw a firefly by the lake. She was pleasantly surprised. She had not seen it for more than ten years, and she couldn't help but follow the firefly.
As they were walking, they suddenly arrived at a villa. Tang Zhixia heard a familiar male voice coming from inside, asking someone coldly and sharply, "What are you doing here? Get out."
Tang Zhixia's footsteps paused. Is this Xi Jiuchen's voice?
