Chapter 615: Chapter 614: Really Like Him?_1 Chapter 615: Chapter 614: Really Like Him?_1 At the mention of this, Shangguan Ye’s face darkened, “Ranran, what on earth were you women thinking? Why do you exaggerate such little things?”
Tch, calling this a little thing, Qiao Xiaren was now too lazy to chastise him.
“Don’t tell me you can’t see that Nie Yitong likes you.”
Shangguan Ye retorted quickly: “It’s just a little girl’s crush, she’s not a bad person at heart, she just likes to play and act spoiled.”
Qiao Xiaren couldn’t help but sneer: “I really don’t know where your eyes are. Whatever Nie Yitong does is right. Her good nature, innocence, and liveliness makes any wrong she does forgivable. It makes us seem like the real villains.”
She suddenly didn’t want to continue the conversation with Shangguan Ye. Even a pile of dog shit would seem fragrant to him if it were a white lotus flower. She really didn’t know where he went wrong, or if he was brainwashed by Nie Yiting.
“Ranran…” Qiao Yi’an quickly signaled to stop her, Qiao Xiaren didn’t say anything more. As the dishes were served, everyone started to eat.
Gu Ming noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly attempted to smooth things over: “Come on, everyone, eat more. The chef is a genuine Frenchman, the taste is very authentic.”
Seeing Gu Ming lovingly taking care of his wife, Old Lady Qiao smiled and said to Old Master Shangguan, “Xiao Ming is as always caring for his wife. I guess it won’t be long before Old Gu is going to have a grandson.”
“Heh, is Old Gu really going to beat me this time?” Old Master Shangguan naturally wouldn’t accept this, but thinking of his own grandson’s incompetence, all he could do was glare.
“It’s not that fast yet, Grandma Qiao.” Pei Ningxuan acted very coyly, snuggling into Gu Ming’s arms, and then suddenly looked up and blinked, “I have a feeling that it might be Ranran’s turn soon.”
As soon as Pei Ningxuan finished speaking, all attention turned to Qiao Xiaren.
“Ranran, tell Grandma, are you really with Si Limo?” The old lady was immediately anxious when she heard about Qiao Xiaren, “Tell Grandma, do you really like him?”
Qiao Yi’an coughed lightly with his hand on his lips, “Grandma, you’re asking my sister this in front of so many people, aren’t you afraid she’ll be embarrassed?”
Bai Qiuqing’s eyes widened at the mention of Si Limo, and the hand holding her chopsticks froze again. What does Qiao Xiaren have to do with Si Limo?
She had already planned it all. Once Old Master dies, Qiao Xiaren, a lone girl, couldn’t possibly control the whole Qiao family, and it would only take a moment to drive her out, right?
She couldn’t possibly not know the Si Family. If one were to talk about the combination of power and wealth, no one surpasses the Si Family. Her gaze immediately turned to Qiao Xiaren, as if she was eager to find out the truth at this moment.
If the Si Family was backing her, the situation would not be as simple as she had thought.
In response to the reactions of those at the dinner table, Qiao Xiaren was surprisingly calm, acknowledging with a nod, “Yes, I am with him.”
Bai Qiuqing’s face darkened, her mind depressed.
She had married into the Qiao family under the envious gazes of all the socialites, successfully helping her own family break into the circle of the four major families. At that time, her life felt complete.
But she hadn’t imagined, her foresight wasn’t deep enough back then.
The Si family was practically the wind vane of the entire social circle. Both his parents held political positions and as the eldest son, Si Limo naturally bore the heavy responsibility of the Si family.
