Chapter 532



532 When are you getting engaged?

“the star’s reaction was indeed a little too big.” Xie Xingchen looked at mu.

there was a look of disapproval in his eyes.

He might even be a little dissatisfied.

If Shi Yan was not mistaken.

However, Shi Yan didn’t quite understand where this dissatisfaction came from.

to xie xingchen, mu xing was just a good friend of his sister. it was normal for him to be confused and disapproving of mu xing, but it was hard to understand why he was dissatisfied with jian jia.

“i’ve embarrassed myself in front of everyone.” Mu Xingxing said, embarrassed.

she turned to look at shi yan. ” i did hear you call young master su ‘cousin’. but to be honest, i didn’t think much of it. i just thought that young master su liked you very much and took you as his sister. ” i’ve told you before, you have a natural affinity that makes people unconsciously want to get close to you.”

” besides, not everyone knows about the relationship between the shi family in jingdu and the su family in haicheng. the mu family has limited access to the social circle, and i’ve been abroad all year round, so i know even less. ”

“I have such a big reaction because the young lady of the Shi family is a legendary figure in my eyes.”

“Xingran has mentioned to me more than once that the two most distinguished girls in their generation are the Shi family’s eldest miss and the Xuan family’s eldest miss. Even if she was born in the Xie family, which is on par with the Shi and Xuan families, her status can’t be compared to these two at all. Because she’s the young lady of the second branch, and she’s also a young lady who’s taken care of by someone else, her status in the Xie family is already awkward.”

“xingran has always been envious of the two young ladies of the shi and xuan families. The more she mentioned them, the deeper my impression of these two girls became.”

“i’ll make you guys laugh.”

without waiting for shi yan to speak, xie xingchen frowned and said,”Xingran actually has such an idea!”

“It’s true that she was adopted by my mother from a side branch, but for so many years, my parents have raised her as their own daughter, and I have also treated her as my own sister. although we are the second branch, the xie family is of one heart and big brother has never treated our second branch badly. the first branch does not have a daughter, so she is the only girl in our xie family’s generation, the eldest young lady of our xie family!”

as he said that, he sighed with a hint of self-blame, ” “i think we’re not doing a good job as family, that’s why xingran doesn’t have a sense of belonging.”

by right, mu xingxing should have said something to defend herself or apologize. it was her words that had caused xie xingchen to sigh with emotion, but mu xingxing did not say anything.

xie xingchen didn’t seem to think there was anything wrong with it. after sighing, he continued, ” “i’m sorry, i’ve made a fool of myself. i’ll go entertain the others, please excuse me. ”

After Xie Xingchen left, Shi Yao turned to mu Xingxing and whispered, ” ” xingxing, you shouldn’t have said those words in front of mr. xie just now. you’ve made the atmosphere awkward. ”

“i just realized it.” mu xingxing smiled awkwardly. ” i was so focused on talking about myself that i forgot that mr. xie is still here. ”

She looked at Shi Yan. I really didn’t expect you to be the young lady of the Shi family that xingran often mentioned. I’m so surprised that I completely forgot who was there.

“I don’t know if Mr. Xie will blame me for speaking too much.”

“The second young master of the Xie family doesn’t seem to be a petty person, so don’t think too much about it.” Shi Yan consoled.

He did not continue on this topic.

They stayed in the banquet hall for a while before going to Room 11 on the second floor.

sitting in the private room, one could clearly see the scene on the first floor through the hanging gauze curtain.

Each private room had a special waiter. As soon as they entered the private room, the waiter came in to pour them tea and asked if they wanted to drink anything else. After they were done, the waiter retreated to stand outside the private room.

“It’s so advanced! If I wasn’t with you guys, I probably wouldn’t dare to move after sitting down.” the attendant went out to close the door, and shi yao heaved a sigh of relief. she picked up the cup of tea beside her and took a sip. ” i feel like the tea here is exceptionally good. ”

“if it’s good, drink more.” Mu Xingxing smiled and pushed the pastry in front of her. this pastry is not bad. You can try it.

“Thank you,” he said. shi yao chuckled. ” xingxing, if it weren’t for you, i probably wouldn’t have had the chance to witness such a high-class event in my entire life. ”

shi yao was actually very nervous, and she tried her best to ignore the presence of shi yan and the others.

After what happened downstairs just now, she already knew that these friends of hers on Jupiter were not ordinary people, but people of high status.

First miss, first young master, and fifth master.

why would an ordinary person use the term ‘grandpa’?

She didn’t know what kind of luck she had to be able to sit in the same private room and drink the same tea as such a person.

On the other hand, the others didn’t have as complicated a thought as Shi Yao.

shi yan sat on the left side of jiang che. there was a short table between the two of them for tea and snacks. On Shi Yan’s right was Jing Hailan, who used to be su mu.

mu xingxing sat to the right of jiang che.

It was obvious that Shi Yan and Jiang Che’s seats were equivalent to the main seats.

Of course, these were all secondary. The main thing was that Shi Yan and Jing Hailan were next to each other, so it was more convenient for them to talk. after they sat down, they would chat with each other in hushed tones from time to time, so they didn’t pay much attention to what mu xingxing and shi yao were saying.

In Jing Hailan’s hand was the list of the auction tonight. It was a booklet that had been placed there before they entered the private room. There was one copy on each low table, and there were three copies in total.

“Apart from that screen, is there anything else that sister hai LAN likes?” Shi Yan asked.

“I don’t really like her, but I’m interested in two other things. I heard that you like to play chess. What do you think of this white jade?” jing hailan leaned over and asked her with the opened booklet in his hand.

“It’s not bad, but the fifth Lord Jiang has an even better one.”

” alright, ” jing hailan said regretfully. ” i was thinking that if you like it, i’ll take a picture and give it to you later. ” She looked at Shi Yan with a smile. sister Xiaoyan, I heard that you like that screen. You’re planning to bid for it and give it to me, right? ”

shi yan smiled and said nothing.

It was a silent agreement.

I know you’re going to bid for it as a gift to me, so I don’t plan on bidding for it myself later. However, I have to return you a copy of what I’ve received from you. See if there’s anything you like, and I’ll bid for it as a gift for you.

” i’m planning to give it to you and my cousin for your engagement ceremony. sister hailan doesn’t need to give me a portion in return. ” Shi Yan smiled. if you want to go back, you can wait until I’m engaged to fifth Lord Jiang and prepare an engagement ceremony for me.

“shi yan, are you going to get engaged to the fifth lord jiang?” Mu Xing suddenly interjected.

looking at shi yan and then at jiang che, mu xingxing blinked and gossiped, ” “Speaking of which, Jiang the fifth introduced you as his fiancée just now downstairs.”

it was not shi yan who replied to her, but jiang che who spoke first, ” “engaged or not, she’s already my fiancée.”

jiang che’s gaze fell on the ring on shi yan’s finger.

mu xingxing also saw the ring on shi yan’s hand.

Of course, it wasn’t the first time she saw it. She probably didn’t expect the ring to be so formal and thought it was just an ordinary accessory. After all, it wasn’t uncommon to wear rings randomly in today’s society.

“i see. congratulations.”

“However, Shi Yan, with your and fifth Lord Jiang’s status, you should have to hold an official engagement ceremony before it’s truly decided, right? when do you plan to hold the engagement ceremony?”

This time, Jiang che didn’t rush to answer. He glanced at mu Xingxing and took a sip of tea.

she intended to let shi yan reply to her on her own.

shi yan glanced at mu xing and said with a smile, ” “no rush.”

when the time is fixed, ” he said, ” I’ll invite you to attend. I hope Xingxing can give me face.
