Shen Lian was dressed coldly today, but her voice was very sweet. The contrast between the two made Qi Xiao like it.

He couldn't help but hold Shen Lian's hand and promised affectionately:

"Lian'er, don't worry, the Shen family and others treat you like that because they don't know how good you are, but I know! I will definitely treat you well after we get married."

Qi Xiao's facial features are three-dimensional. He is looking at Shen Lian so intently at this moment, giving people a very affectionate feeling.

Shen Lian was so moved that she couldn't help but burst into tears thinking about her grievance just now.

Qi Xiao was keenly aware of something wrong with Shen Lian and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? Is it possible that someone made you angry?"

Otherwise, how could Shen Lian look at him with such tearful eyes? She usually looks at him with a smile in her eyes!

I have to say that Qi Xiao knows Shen Lian quite well.

Shen Lian heard Qi Xiao's question, looked at his concerned eyes, and remembered the injustice she had just suffered, and finally couldn't help but said:

"It's just a small matter, don't ask."

This move of retreating in order to advance was very effective. Qi Xiao immediately stood up angrily, looking a little excited:

"Those people are just snobbish. Don't worry about it. Between us, no one dares to look down on you."

As he said this, he wanted to drag Shen Lian along to socialize. How could Shen Lian be willing?

The two have not officially announced that they are together yet. Although the scandal has been exposed, if they join hands at this banquet without a positive response, I am afraid that the scandal will be spread even more unpleasantly.

Thinking of this, Shen Lian shook her head: "Forget it, let's wait until we announce it."

Now she is not the wife of the Qi family on the surface, and her waist is not straight. At this time, she will make many mistakes if she talks too much.

"You are just too kind." Qi Xiao looked at Shen Lian with hatred: "That's why you always suffer!"

"It's okay to follow me over and meet your parents." Qi Xiao paused and then said.

Qi Xiao had finally convinced Mrs. Qi before, but he also wanted to make a show of Shen Lian and wanted Mrs. Qi to take Shen Lian to socialize, so he proposed this.

Shen Lian was not a fool and naturally knew Qi Xiao's purpose of doing this. She couldn't help but look at him gratefully and nodded.

Qi Xiao smiled, "This is so smart!"

At this moment, Mrs. Qi happened to be in front of Shen Ke and Shen's mother.

After Mrs. Qi heard from Qi's father that the bidding might be a promising thing, she became confused.

You must know that the money you can make by sitting down for this bidding project is quite a lot, enough for the Qi family to completely replace the Shen family.

To say that their family had the upper hand in front of the Shen family before was obviously not necessarily the case.

Have you ever seen these people hear the news and are now supporting me?

A little arrogant, Mother Qi saw Mother Shen's position and immediately came over to talk to Mother Shen.

But after seeing Shen Ke, Qi's mother was completely stunned.

She had been interested in Shen Ke as her daughter-in-law before, but her son was too stubborn. Seeing how beautiful Shen Ke was now, Qi's mother felt a flash of unhappiness in her heart.

What do you think of your own son?

With resentment in her heart, she delayed starting a conversation with Mother Shen.

Mother Shen couldn't help but feel a little irritated when she saw Mrs. Qi standing in front of her and not speaking. She was about to say something when Qi Xiao's voice came from afar.

Everyone looked over following the sound and saw Qi Xiao pulling Shen Lian over.

Mother Shen and Shen Ke's expressions remained unchanged, but Mrs. Qi's expression immediately became very ugly.

Especially since Qi Xiao's voice just now was not too quiet, there were already many people observing the movements of the two people in the dark.

But the two of them didn't know how to restrain themselves, and they actually appeared in everyone's sight so blatantly.

Is this for fear that no one will notice the two of them?

Mrs. Qi didn't like Shen Lian as her daughter-in-law, and now she also had some complaints about her son, so she responded indifferently.

Shen Lian followed Qi Xiao and looked straight at Mrs. Qi, with obvious desire in her eyes.

Mrs. Qi looked away, not even willing to look at Shen Lian.

Of course, Shen Lian noticed this and couldn't help but sniff, her eyes turning red instantly.

How could Qi Xiao continue to look at this? Shen Lian was especially wronged by her biological mother.

He pulled Shen Lian forward forcefully and said in a soft voice:

"Lian'er, this is my mother, you can just call her aunt."

This was Shen Lian's first face-to-face meeting with Mrs. Qi, and since she and Qi Xiao were not married, it was still polite to call her aunt.

Shen Lian nodded and whispered: "Auntie."

This voice sounded as if Mrs. Qi was some kind of tigress who wanted to eat people if she made any louder noise.

Mrs. Qi has always had a carefree and direct personality. Seeing Shen Lian's behavior, she can almost imagine the future.

How disturbing!

She did not say yes, but turned to Qi Xiao and said:

"Look, you have become more and more rude recently. When I saw your Aunt Shen and Sister Shen Ke, you didn't even say hello."

She put on her signature smile and turned her face directly to Shen's mother and Shen Ke without looking at Shen Lian.

This is expressing your dissatisfaction through actions.

Of course Qi Xiao felt it. He was very unhappy. He wanted to argue with his mother with a straight face, but he subconsciously followed his mother's gaze and turned away.

Then he was completely stunned.

Shen Ke stood quietly next to Shen's mother, with a very indifferent expression on her face, as if she didn't care about anything around her.

She shouldn't have cared.

She is independent from the crowd. As long as she is seen among the crowd, others will appear to be nothing more than that, and they cannot even look away completely.

This is the case with Qi Xiao.

His eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Ke's face.

It's not that he hasn't seen Shen Ke before, but Shen Ke didn't know how to dress up at that time and wore ordinary clothes. Although he had a good foundation, compared with the exquisitely dressed Shen Lian, he looked somewhat inferior.

And at that time, Shen Ke always lowered his head, as if he had low self-esteem.

No matter how straight your back is like now, the lines of your shoulders and neck are so beautiful that you can't take your eyes away.

Qi Xiao didn't come to the previous piano recital at first, but when he came, he only saw Shen Ke's profile.

This was the first time I looked directly at Shen Ke's face at such a close distance, and I was immediately shocked by such intense beauty.

Qi Xiao's performance was clearly visible to everyone. Shen's mother was disgusted with a bit of complacency, while Shen Lian bit her lower lip tightly, and the gloom in her eyes almost spread out.

As for Mrs. Qi, there was a little joy in her eyes.

Now that her family is prospering, if her son falls in love with Shen Ke and the marriage with the Shen family continues, she will be satisfied with Shen Ke as her daughter-in-law.

What Mrs. Qi had in mind was very beautiful.

It's a pity that she is destined to be disappointed.

Just before Qi Xiao could react, a loud voice sounded:

"The bidding target has been determined, please pay attention to this."
