Chapter 30: Innocent Young Master vs. Gold-Worshipping Dream Girl 30
A few days later, Xia Tian received an invitation from Sheng Junyi, saying that it was Jiang Qi's birthday.
The birthday party starts at eight o'clock in the evening.
It was already seven fifty when Jiang Qi brought her to Sheng's house.
For a host whose birthday is approaching, Jiang Qi’s appearance couldn’t be too late.
But perhaps because of his current superior status, the entire Sheng family sat neatly in the main hall waiting for him.
Xia Tian took in everyone's gazes and sat down next to Jiang Qi, remaining completely relaxed.
Sheng Wenwen had been staring at her with disdain since she entered the room. Now she found that she didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She didn't know if it was intentional or not, but the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a "bang".
And the fragments just fell next to Xia Tian.
Jiang Qi's expression changed instantly and his eyes swept over fiercely.
Sheng Junyi soon noticed their silent rivalry, and he tapped the ground with his cane, then said with a sullen face, "Since Jiang Qi has returned, let's get started."
Butler Liu tactfully asked the servant standing nearby to clean up the glass shards at Xia Tian's feet, and personally replaced the wine glass for Sheng Wenwen.
Sheng Wenwen was obviously still somewhat reluctant, but due to Sheng Junyi's aura, she could only bite her lip and take a deep breath.
The woman sitting on the far right of Sheng Junyi has an elegant posture. Although she is over 40 years old, she still looks charming and there is almost no trace of time on her face. This should be Qin Xiuling, the wife that Sheng Junyi later married.
She smiled at Xia Tian, and the apple cheeks on her face were too prominent.
"You must be Xia Tian, right? I always hear Wen Wen mention you, and today I finally see you."
No wonder there are no traces of time, it turns out that they are covered by traces of money.
After adding his own comments in his mind, Xia Tian couldn't help but look at Sheng Wenwen, wondering what good words could come out of her mouth.
But since the other person said so, she couldn't help but give him face.
So I replied: "Me too, nice to meet you."
Sheng Wenwen glared at him, but Xia Tian rolled his eyes at her, which made her so angry that she stood up.
"Do you know the rules when you come from the countryside? Is this the place you should be?"
Jiang Qi was about to speak when Xia Tian held him down with an innocent look on his face.
"Can't people from the countryside sit here? Then what are you doing here from Kapok Village?"
Hearing this, everyone at the table looked at her in surprise, especially Sheng Junyi, whose cloudy eyes were filled with disbelief.
Sheng Wenwen is a good adopted daughter, but she was not adopted from an orphanage, but from a very remote mountain village, Muqian Village.
Except for the Sheng family, no one outside could find out about this matter. Even Jiang Qi might not know the inside story. How did she know?
This woman is indeed not simple. She knows everything about the Sheng family.
Sheng Wenwen hasn't heard the name of this village for more than 20 years, probably because she was trying hard to get rid of this background.
Now that it came out of her mouth so easily, besides shock, she felt more anger and fear.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Her fingertips trembled slightly, but she looked at Jiang Qi again: "Look at this woman you brought back. She hasn't even entered the house yet, but she's already talking nonsense here. Why don't you let her get out!"
Jiang Qi's face darkened and he looked at her fiercely with his deep eyes.
"You are the one who needs to get out!"
His words were brief but extremely captivating. Even Qin Xiuling lowered her eyes and dared not respond.
Sheng Wenwen swept the dishes on the table and glared at him: "Are you going to go against me now for this woman?"
Sheng Junyi's patience finally reached its limit, and he threw the wine glass in his hand hard.
The entire restaurant immediately fell silent, leaving only the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting cutlery.
He glanced at the people at the table and yelled, "What are you arguing about! What are you arguing about! Can't you even have a meal in peace?"
Looking around, Xia Tian was the only one in the room who was calm as if nothing had happened. He was picking up some food for himself and also picked up some for Jiang Qi.
"This is not bad, but a little spicy. Try it."
Jiang Qi didn't move his chopsticks or say anything.
Sheng Junyi suppressed his anger again and said in a low voice: "Let's eat first. After dinner, I have something to announce."
Sheng Wenwen looked at Sheng Junyi with red eyes, who had no intention of defending her, wiped her tears and sat down angrily again.
At this point, the people who had gathered in a circle could finally start their meal.
But although it was not a birthday party, it was actually just a meal for their family, and they didn't even prepare a cake for the sake of formality.
Sheng Junyi waited patiently for Xia Tian to put down his chopsticks before he gave Butler Liu a look.
Butler Liu nodded, turned and left.
Guessing what he was going to do, Xia Tian pulled Jiang Qi's clothes and whispered, "I'm going to the bathroom."
"it is good."
Jiang Qi was about to get up and take her there, but Xia Tian patted his hands lightly and said coquettishly, "How can someone follow you to the toilet?"
It was rare to see such a lovely expression on her face again. Jiang Qi smiled gently and whispered in her ear, "Don't get lost."
Xia Tian nodded, glanced at Sheng Wenwen, whose face turned black with anger, and left.
She didn't really want to go to the bathroom, but Sheng Junyi's gaze at the dinner table was too strong for her to ignore.
Since Butler Liu was allowed to leave, he would have to negotiate with her again.
Sure enough, the servant who led her took her directly to a small room.
Butler Liu was sitting leisurely on the black leather sofa waiting.
He also looks much older than he did seven years ago.
"Miss Xia is here."
Xia Tian curled her lips and sat down opposite him without any courtesy.
"Tell me what happened."
"You don't look surprised at all."
Xia Tian casually crossed his legs, resting his elbows on his legs, and blinked with a smile: "What kind of surprises can there be? Your Master Sheng only has a few tricks. I'm tired of hearing about them."
Butler Liu smiled meaningfully and stopped testing him.
After taking out a check from the file bag that had been prepared long ago, he took out a stack of photos.
Xia Tian looked at the brand new blank check and raised his eyelids in boredom: "Nothing new."
Butler Liu smiled and said, "As long as it works, it doesn't matter what method you use."
"You can fill in any number above."
Xia Tian rolled her eyes, but before she could reply, he put the photos in front of her one by one.
Although she hadn't seen the faces above for many years, she still recognized them clearly.
"What does it mean?"
Butler Liu pointed to one of the pictures of a man with a bloody head and said, "This one is your father's head was broken because he owed a loan shark due to gambling and couldn't pay it back."
He pointed to another one and said, "This one shows your brother's attempted rape and murder."
"This picture shows your mother kneeling down to others to plead for your brother, and even being slandered in public."
There were a few more disgusting photos, and Butler Liu did not explain them one by one.
Xia Tian withdrew his gaze and suddenly sneered.
"You don't think... that I still have feelings for them."
