Song Shan picked up the tea and drank a few sips. It was a little tasteless. Now, although her sense of taste has recovered a bit after taking medicine, it is still very weak.
The doctor said that she would most likely have sequelae, but for the sake of beauty, Song Shan could only endure it.
A black Rolls-Royce drove into the front yard. The man who stepped out of the car was Xi Jiuchen, and the person who opened the door on the other side was Tang Zhixia.
Xi Jiuchen reached out to hold her, but Tang Zhixia hid her hand shyly, "Don't hold her."
Xi Jiuchen locked his deep eyes on her for a few seconds and saw that she was shy and did not dare to be overly affectionate with him at his relative's house.
"Then let's go!" Xi Jiuchen took care of her emotions.
Passing through the front garden and entering the hall, I saw three banquet tables in the large living room, and all the guests had arrived.
As soon as Xi Jiuchen came in, he started calling people to say hello. Although as the most distinguished child of the Xi family, Xi Jiuchen had been polite and thoughtful since childhood, and had a good education, which made everyone like him.
Tang Zhixia followed him and listened to him calling out names skillfully. It was also the first time that he saw him treating himself like a junior like this. Normally, this man was aloof and seemed to only allow others to submit to him!
"Jiuchen, why don't you introduce us to this beautiful woman next to you?" an aunt said.
"Her name is Zhixia, she is my girlfriend." Xi Jiuchen introduced naturally.
Tang Zhixia's face felt a little hot. She had thought about this problem before coming here, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape this identity.
"What a beauty! Jiuchen has really good taste."
"No, Jiuchen has been the most beautiful child in our eyes since he was a child. Naturally, he is worthy of an equally beautiful girl."
"I'm not convinced!" A male voice retorted from behind the aunt.
As soon as the aunt turned around, she burst into laughter. It turned out that it was Zhan Qingye who had arrived. He slightly raised his handsome face and said, "Where did I lose to my brother? When I was a child, I was obviously the prettiest."
"Yes, yes, you are the prettiest." The aunt immediately changed her words, causing the people next to her to laugh.
Tang Zhixia was also amused and looked at Zhan Qingye. His appearance was indeed not inferior to that of Xi Jiuchen, but in terms of aura, he lacked a bit of Xi Jiuchen's domineering power.
"Zhi Xia, you judge, who is more handsome between me and my brother?" Zhan Qingye immediately came over to ask for trouble.
Tang Zhixia was watching the show innocently, but she didn't want to be harmed by Zhan Qingye. She couldn't help but cough lightly, "You are more handsome."
After Tang Zhixia finished speaking, out of the corner of her eye she caught a man looking at her resentfully.
"Zhixia has good eyesight." After Zhan Qingye finished speaking, he reached over and said, "Zhixia, let's go over there. I have something to tell you."
But just as he finished speaking, a killing look came over him, and Zhan Qingye immediately realized that he should not be so casual with Tang Zhixia, and he should not be involved anymore.
Because Tang Zhixia belongs to someone.
"What are you talking about that you can't talk about in front of me?" Xi Jiuchen stared at Zhan Qingye, trying hard to prove his existence.
Tang Zhixia covered his mouth and smiled, and Zhan Qingye snorted, "You are so stingy that you can't even lend your girlfriend to accompany me for a while."
"No!" Xi Jiuchen refused coldly.
"Zhi Xia, you judge, when I was chasing you, he stepped in and I kindly gave you to him, but he did this to me." Zhan Qingye complained.
Tang Zhixia smiled even more happily, "I won't get involved in the matter between you two brothers, you can solve it."
"Let's go! Go say hello to grandma." Xi Jiuchen put his arms around Tang Zhixia's waist and left naturally.
Zhan Qingye reluctantly followed behind him because he was really bored. All the people who came this time were elders, and none of the younger generation came.
Mrs. Xi was chatting with several old ladies of the same age in the back hall. When she saw Xi Jiuchen leading Tang Zhixia over, her eyes immediately showed tenderness and affection.
"Zhixia, come and sit." She invited gently.
Tang Zhixia sat next to her. Mrs. Xi always looked at her with guilt and apology in her eyes, "Chenchen didn't bring it?"
"Chenchen went to my dad's place."
"Oh! I really like that kid, he's so cute." When Mrs. Xi thought of the kid, she thought of her grandson when he was a child.
At this time, Xi Jiuchen was called out of the door by the housekeeper.
"Young Master, there is something I must tell you. Miss Song Shan is here."
Xi Jiuchen's face darkened, "Who asked her to come?"
"Miss Song Shan came early in the morning, and I don't know who informed her." The housekeeper was also helpless.
A cold glint flashed across Xi Jiuchen's eyes. Who in the end had his information and had contact with Song Shan? There was only one person, his life assistant Lin Zhi.
It seems that Song Shan is very capable and even the people around him dare to buy information.
"Where is she?" Xi Jiuchen asked coldly.
"She's in the tea room over in the garden. She hasn't been invited over here yet. Young Master, do you want to see her?"
Xi Jiuchen glanced at Tang Zhixia, who was chatting with his grandma, and walked towards the tea room in the side garden.
Song Shan had been waiting to be invited to the front hall, but what she was waiting for was Xi Jiuchen with a gloomy look on his face.
Song Shan was startled, and she almost broke the tea cup in panic, "Jiu Chen, how did you know I was here?"
Since Xi Jiuchen knew that Song Shan had single-handedly caused Tang Zhixia's pain, the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Shan only turned cold.
"This is my family gathering, there is no need for you to come." Xi Jiuchen stared at her with obvious displeasure.
Song Shan's eyes immediately turned red, "Tang Zhixia can come, why can't I come? Jiuchen, you are too partial."
Xi Jiuchen frowned slightly and retorted somewhat coldly, "There is no comparison between you and Zhixia in my heart. I have always only wanted to make up for you materially, you should know."
Song Shan felt sensitively that Xi Jiuchen had changed and his attitude towards her had become particularly cold. Could it be that Tang Zhixia said something to him?
"Jiuchen, why did you treat me like this? Did I do anything wrong?" Song Shan bit her red lips, making a pitiful look.
"Is it your fault that Zhixia was humiliated five years ago?" Xi Jiuchen asked her.
Song Shan trembled all over and shook her head like a drum, "It's not me, it's not me Jiuchen, it's Tang Qingqing, it's her stepsister. When I wanted to stop it, it was already too late. I really regret it, Zhi Xia
I deserve to hate me."
Song Shan looked helpless on the surface, but she hated Tang Zhixia in her heart. Sure enough, she revealed what happened back then in order to get Xi Jiuchen.
Xi Jiuchen looked at Song Shan's face. She didn't know that when she started crying, the prosthesis on her face showed an ugly crying look, which made Xi Jiuchen extremely uncomfortable. What she said made him even more confused.
Don't believe it either.
Song Shan only knew that she looked beautiful when she smiled, but she didn't know how ugly it was when she cried.
"Don't go to the lobby. You can have lunch here before leaving." Xi Jiuchen warned in a low voice. He didn't want Tang Zhixia to know that she was here.
Song Shan also heard it, and she panicked, "Jiuchen, you can't do this to me."
Xi Jiuchen had already arrived at the door. He turned back and glanced at her coldly, "From now on, I don't want to see you again."
