The climax of the banquet was almost over. All the prominent people from Qingshi came and everyone chatted leisurely.
This gathering was mostly attended by elders from wealthy families, with few juniors coming. Qin Xiao was an exception. Cui Yan came with Qin Xiao and was considered the youngest guest at this banquet.
Miao Jian stood next to Miao's mother Lin Xiaoyue, entertaining the guests, just chatting with them about home affairs.
"Ah!" A sharp female voice suddenly came from the crowd, followed by the sound of a wine glass falling to the ground and breaking.
People turned their heads one after another and followed the sound.
Among the crowd, Miao Yanru was seen lying on the ground wearing a light pink mid-length skirt, with some red wine sprinkled on the clean skirt, which made her stand out.
"What's going on? Why did you fall down?" A middle-aged woman couldn't help asking while holding a wine glass.
"Yeah, what's going on?"
Qin Xiao stood beside Miao Yanru holding a wine glass, with no expression on his face, but Miao Jian always felt that her eyes were a bit cold.
Miao Yanru lowered her head in grievance, and her crystal tears suddenly rolled down. Deng Ou quickly helped her stand up and arranged the skirt for her. However, the skirt was stained with red wine. No matter how she arranged it, she still looked embarrassed.
Unbearable.
"Miss Qin, you have to give me an explanation." Deng Ou asked Qin Xiao with a sullen face.
Qin Xiao's face turned cold. Before, her eyes were cold, but now her whole body is cold. "Explain? She fell down on her own, and I didn't push her. You want to ask me for an explanation, Master Deng, don't you?"
Do you think it’s a little ridiculous?”
"If you didn't push Yanru, how could she fall?" Deng Ou suddenly became angry.
Cui Yan, who had been following Qin Xiao, leaned in. He smiled slightly and said politely, "Mr. Deng, you haven't seen the whole story, how dare you make rash judgments?"
Deng Ou couldn't answer these words for a moment. He wanted to stare at Cui Yan fiercely, but the other party was smiling, so he had to endure it.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded. What on earth is going on?
Miao's mother Lin Xiaoyue watched as more and more people gathered around her. Seeing that something was not going well, she quickly stepped forward to hold Miao Yanru. Miao Jian was one step ahead of her, and walked to Miao Yanru's side.
, half holding her with one hand, asked with concern, "What's wrong with Yanru, what happened?"
Miao Yanru wiped away her tears with one hand, her nose was slightly red, and she looked pitiful. She didn't speak, as if she didn't dare to say anything.
Miao Jian continued to ask patiently and gently, while comforting her, she said, "What's going on? Yan Ru, please tell me, my sister will make the decision for you."
The people around him praised him repeatedly, saying that the two people had always been at odds with each other, but now they seemed to be very harmonious, especially Miao Jian, the elder sister, who was very protective of her shortcomings.
Miao Yanru was bored for a long time, then hesitantly said: "I was walking at the banquet and saw Miss Qin. I wanted to say hello to her. As soon as I approached her, I was about to talk to her, but I was suddenly pushed away.
Suddenly, the wine glass spilled forward and almost hit Miss Qin. Miss Qin noticed it and thought it was my intention, so she pushed me..."
"You'd better stop talking nonsense. You have evil intentions and blame others?" Qin Xiao coldly interrupted Miao Yanru's words.
Deng Ou shouted: "Yan Rudu said that you pushed her, and you still want to quibble!"
Qin Xiao looked at Deng Ou with disdain and turned his face away, not wanting to look at him again.
Cui Yan shook his head and said, "Mr. Deng, why do you only listen to other people's words?"
These words were very meaningful, and Deng Ou and Miao Yanru felt uncomfortable hearing them.
Miao Jian frowned, not knowing how to judge. Miao's mother Lin Xiaoyue winked at her and motioned for her to comfort Qin Xiao. Miao Jian hesitated and walked beside Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao seemed to know that Miao Jian was here to comfort her. She turned around, waved her hand, and left. Cui Yan followed closely.
After the person involved left, there was nothing left to watch. Although the ins and outs of the matter were not yet clear, Miao's mother Lin Xiaoyue kept apologizing, "I'm sorry everyone, something went wrong and made you laugh. I'm sorry."
The master had already spoken, and there was no point in hanging around any longer, so people slowly dispersed.
When Miao Jian and Miao Yanru returned home in the evening, Miao's mother Lin Xiaoyue was sitting on the sofa with a cold face. The atmosphere at home was a bit strange.
"Usually you just lose your temper, but what day is it today? Are you going to deliberately embarrass me and Xiao Jian?" Lin Xiaoyue said angrily.
Miao Yanru lowered his head and remained silent.
Miao Jian was advising from the side, hoping that Miao's mother could calm down: "Mom, don't be angry, Yan Ru didn't mean it."
Miao's mother glanced at Miao Yanru and sighed, "It's up to you to do whatever you want from now on. Anyway, the Miao family only has this little property. I'm tired, so I'm going to rest."
Miao Yanru's body stiffened upon hearing this, and she clenched her fists inadvertently.
Miao Jian was shocked, stood up and helped Miao's mother into the house to rest.
Miao's mother waved her hand, "Don't help me, you go and have a rest. I have already arranged school for you. You go to school with Yan Ru tomorrow and go to bed early."
Miao Jian let go of her hand and watched Miao's mother leave step by step. She felt that there was some vicissitudes in Miao's back.
As soon as Miao's mother left, Miao Yanru raised her head and smiled sweetly at Miao Jian: "Sister, please go to school with me tomorrow!"
Miao Jian nodded, smiled at her, told her to rest early, and then went upstairs.
Miao Jian was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She couldn't figure out what Miao Yanru was thinking, and why she wanted to provoke Qin Xiao.
She hadn't thought about going to school tomorrow yet, and she didn't expect that it would go to school so quickly. She thought she would have to wait a few more days.
Today's banquet was too busy. She originally wanted to go see Shao Xinghan when she had free time, but she was dragged by Miao's mother. She couldn't escape and didn't see Shao Xinghan. She only saw him when he was on stage.
, he looked at her in the audience, with mixed emotions on his face. He couldn't tell what he was feeling, but Miao Jian always felt that he was very sad.
It has been two days since she left the Shao family. It has been so slow. It has only been two days, but it feels like the days have passed like years. How will she survive the days in the Miao family in the future? Although Miao's mother is good to her, she always feels that the time has passed.
Good times and bad, she couldn't figure out Miao's mother's words. She always said them in a very cryptic way. Even if she thought about it for a long time, she might not be able to understand the meaning.
She was a little nostalgic for the Shao family. What she missed was Shao Xinghan. Everything he had done for her came to mind at this moment.
But she can't go back to the Shao family yet. She has only been back to the Miao family for two days and she wants to go back to the Shao family. This makes Miao's mother and Miao's father think so, so she can't leave yet.
But Miao Jian really misses Shao Xinghan. What is he doing now? He should be reading documents, or about to go to bed.
Why don't you call and ask? An idea suddenly popped into Miao Jian's mind.
Anyway, no one will know if it's just a phone call.
