This sentence alone made Pei Xiao understand who was an outsider to him and who was one of his own.
She simply got angry, spread her hands and said: "Well, this big name in your company didn't have time to try on clothes, so he asked me to send the clothes over, and then said that I broke it and asked me to compensate. Anyway, you know that I
If you don’t have money, why don’t you help me compensate.”
Jiang Xiaoou stared at her with wide eyes. She actually acted like a spoiled child in front of Xi Xiangdong! And Pei Xiao also stared at her with color. If you have the ability, do you go to Xi Xiangdong to ask for money?
Xi Xiangdong stepped forward, picked up the torn dress, and said to Pei Xiao, "I know about this. You go back first and leave the rest to me."
"Brother Dongzi..." Jiang Xiaoou's unwilling voice came from behind. Pei Xiao ignored her, turned around and left Xi Xiangdong, and went out first.
"Brother Dongzi, who is she and why are you protecting her?"
Xi Xiangdong turned around and looked at Jiang Xiaoou sharply with his black eyes: "Was it scratched by your nails?"
Jiang Xiaoou was startled and instinctively curled up his fingers.
"Stop hiding it. The rhinestones on your nails are still hung with silver threads." Xi Xiangdong shook his head slowly, "I will return the clothes to them in person tomorrow and apologize properly. I will compensate you as much as you need."
Jiang Xiaoou's face was filled with shame and anger: "Why should I apologize to her? She is just an outsider! Could it be that...you like her?"
To her surprise, Xi Xiangdong didn't deny it immediately. But he didn't admit it either. He just said four words: "Don't mess with her."
The more he protected that woman, the more curious she became.
Jiang Xiaoou thought for a while and then changed the subject: "Will Sister Sunny really return to China? The newspapers said that she will be the guest presenter for this Golden Horse Awards."
Xi Xiangdong's brows furrowed almost invisible: "Don't ask me about her."
"In this case, wouldn't it be better to give her dress to me? Look, my dress is all torn..."
"--no!"
Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted sharply. Jiang Xiaoou pursed his lips and wanted to linger for a while. Seeing that Xi Xiangdong's face became more and more ugly, he finally gave up.
Xi Xiangdong walked out of the locker room and took out his cell phone to call Pei Xiao, but it kept saying no one answered.
He had no choice but to call the driver: "Let Pei Xiao pick up."
The driver looked embarrassed: "Ms. Pei said she would leave the car with you, and she took a taxi back first."
Xi Xiangdong was startled, and the driver asked him again: "Mr. Xi, are you still going to the airport? It's the evening rush hour now, and I'm afraid we'll be stuck on the road if we don't leave."
He was silent for a while and said, "Drive the car downstairs and wait for me."
Xi Xiangdong got in the car, and sure enough, there was a traffic jam as soon as he got on the elevated highway. Calculating the time, Pei Xiao should have arrived home, so he called home directly, but no one answered the phone. Outside the car window, cars were moving as slowly as ants.
squirming, and a trace of annoyance hit my heart.
After finally passing the third ring road, Xi Xiangdong's cell phone finally rang. He picked it up almost immediately. However, when he saw the name of the caller clearly, he felt a little unexplainable.
"Oh, you're late. Have you already gotten off the plane? There's a traffic jam here, so I might have to get to the airport later."
"Brother, don't bother me. I can just take a taxi home."
"Okay then, be careful on the road."
"see you later."
After hanging up the phone, the driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror: "Then...Mr. Xi, are you going back to Xiyuan today?"
Xi Xiangdong usually lives alone outside, but he regularly returns to Xiyuan every Sunday to accompany his two elders. Although today is not Sunday, Mr. Xi’s brother returns to China, and the family cannot avoid being exposed to wind and dust, so the driver asked this question.
Xi Xiangdong said a vague "hmm", and the driver was about to turn around when he suddenly heard him say: "Go back to Xinggang first, and then go to Xiyuan." Just this sentence made Pei Xiao understand who was with him.
He is an outsider, whoever is with him is one of our own.
She simply got angry, spread her hands and said: "Well, this big name in your company didn't have time to try on clothes, so he asked me to send the clothes over, and then said that I broke it and asked me to compensate. Anyway, you know that I
