The newcomer was Tan Simu，the second daughter of the Tans,

"Miss Tan."Qin Zhenyang politely nodded to her, then closed his mouth.

Tan Simu made a playful smile,"Call me Simu, brother Zhenyang. 'Miss' is too unfamiliar! So this lady is your companion? What a beauty!"

"Well."

A hint of softness flashed in his eyes.

Ji Xiaoli's face was a little embarra.s.sed,"You chat and I go first, I have to go in now..."

"Don't forget the promise and hope you can consider it carefully! Nothing bad for you!"The man's words resounded in her ears while pa.s.sing him.

Fifteen minutes later, at the banquet hall.

"Who is that man? He seems to have an unusual relations.h.i.+p with my sister!"Ji Xuewei's look slightly changed, but her heart had been so restless. No matter who that man was, as long as he was here, he couldn't be an ordinary person.

Even she just saw his back, her guess was likely to be right. 

Situ Liuli shrugged,"I met him only once. He is Qin Zhenyang who rarely appears in the circle. It is surprising to see him here..."

"Qin Zhenyang?"Was his surname also Qin? There was something slipping through Ji Xuewei's mind,so she changed her countenance twice in a short time. 

"Yes. Although he is only a man in his thirties,he has already been a colonel. Mr.Qin was discharged from the military,too.Thus,he thought highly of this youngest son.And I wonder how your sister could get in touch with him."

Ji Xuewei gave a blank look.

But Situ Liuli was more convinced,"Your sister is such a nuisance! Before she vied with you for your boyfriend Qin Zheng; now she hooks up with Qin Zhenyang. But she is just an adopted girl.How dare she want to marry into the Qins? It is daydreaming! Mr.Qin is so astute. You just wait and see what will happen!"

"I don't know what my sister thought about...I never tried to contend or compete with her. Qin Zheng and I fell in love with each other naturally,while she... And now she wants to marry into the Qins, I..."

Situ Liuli sighed,"Not everyone is as kind as you are. Even if she wanted to contend with you,she could take away nothing from you for she even didn't have her own parents. In a word,she has nothing to contend with you! To marry into the Qins? She must wait until next life. "

After the birthday party,Ji Xiaoli lived in Qi Xiaoguang's house for another day.

It was not easy to rent a house in downtown and near her company.She selected several houses and checked some of them. Those houses were either too expensive or impossible to live in. 

Meanwhile,she was so 'lucky'to find a haunted house.

It was cheap enough,but she couldn't afford to see the ghosts wandering beside her bed in the evening. 

Therefore,the plan to rent a house this day broke down...

When she came back at night,she found Qi Xiaoguang and her husband were flirting on the sofa. And at the moment she heard their moan, she blushed immediately. 

She tried to keep silent and went to her temporary-living room directly.

She decided to move away within a week. Though she and Xiaoguang were good friends,it was still not convenient for this newly-married couple to have her in their home.

The next day was Sat.u.r.day.

Zhao Weixing left home and went to company early.The Zhaos operated a family business. Zhao Weixing wasn't the eldest son,though,he still had the duty to run their family business.

"Xiaoli,how about going shopping this afternoon? Otherwise,we may feel sorry for wasting such a sunny day!"

Ji Xiaoli agreed with pleasure.

Qi Xiaogaung chose to drive a silver-gray Audi,which was decent and una.s.suming.

"Let's go to the Commerce and Trade Mansion.I want to buy some s.h.i.+rts and neckties for Weixing.There are some good brands there. "

The Commerce and Trade Mansion was regarded as the biggest shopping mall in this city, which had all sorts of things, various kinds of styles and any brands. As for prices, it couldn't be just described easily by'expensive'.

"How about this one? And this one?..."

Qi Xiaoguang was a shopping mania all along. And before she married, she just bought things from Taobao (a Chinese online shopping platform). Now as she got married and married into a family with great wealth, it was involuntary that she pursued famous brands.

Ji Xiali looked as Qi Xiaoguang pointed.

They were colorful.

She could even imagine how comical it would be with all these neckties on Zhao Weixing's collar.

"Why are you smiling?"

Ji Xiaoli smiled again.

"I'm thinking that if Weixing ties all these neckties on his collar,it must be charming. And he may look like a Christmas tree! "

Qi Xiaoguang pretended to be angry and came to pat her,"I got it.You are making fun of me!"

Ji Xiaoli didn't dare to laugh out loudly. But she couldn't help giggling.

"Keep it down!  Now we are in the shopping mall. And people around are looking at us!"

Qi Xiaoguang turned her head and said, "All right,if you didn't question my eyes for fas.h.i.+on,I wouldn't do like this! Anyway, I will take them back home. Zhao Weixing has no choice but to wear them!"

"You must be a fascist!"

Qi Xiaoguang was intoxicated in her imagination. She said akimbo, "No no no, call me The Queen!" There appeared another 'patient' who was ill because of her craziness about the power and status in the family.

While at the same time Ji Xiaoli heard some words from a short distance,"They scream and shout in the shopping mall.I wonder which family these girls belong to. How rude they are!"

Ji Xiaoli frowned.
