Chapter 173: Chaebol Gold vs. Mafia Prince 9
Chapter 173: Chaebol Gold vs. Mafia Prince 9
Of course, Li Jing's expression was the most interesting. This was mainly because the two identities were so different that no one would connect them together.
The only possibility is that Si Ke originally went out to play and wanted to see what the hostess was like, which led to that chance encounter.
It turns out that the two of them never explain themselves. They just jump around like clowns. It's not that others don't care, but that others are simply too lazy to pay attention.
Fortunately, this time Xiao Xiao asked him to help enter the banquet hall but she ignored him, otherwise the Li family would have been really killed by her.
The people below had different thoughts, but people at home were chatting animatedly.
Seeing that Si Ke had completely let go of her obsession with Mu Sheng, Si's parents were truly happy for their daughter. Furthermore, Qi Yue's eloquence, height, and impressive presence had won the couple's affection. The atmosphere was incredibly harmonious.
However, after talking for a while, Si Ke was driven out by his father and mother, who said that they wanted to talk to Qi Yue alone.
Si Ke didn't know what they were going to talk about, but he finally withdrew.
When I entered the banquet hall again, I saw the two people who had been kicked out of the room before.
First, a swarm of people surrounded Byron. After all, this was a good opportunity to make friends with him.
On the other hand, Mu Sheng was much colder, and his keeping people at a distance was not just directed at her.
"Can we find a place to talk?" Mu Sheng noticed Si Ke the moment she came downstairs. At this moment, he had already stood up and walked to her side.
The two of them didn't walk far before they reached the viewing balcony. After all, no matter which of them was the focus of the entire banquet today, going to a too secluded place would only easily lead to misunderstandings.
"Coco, are you still angry?"
Si Ke shook his head and chuckled, "I was too willful before."
"So when do you plan to return to Country Y? When your uncle and aunt come over this time, have you ever thought about going back with them?"
Si Ke frowned, his face full of confusion: "Please, my boyfriend is here, why should I go back?"
"Keke, you don't understand Qi Yue. Perhaps he is not suitable for you. It is too dangerous to follow him."
Si Ke's face turned cold, and he looked at Mu Sheng in silence. "So what if it's dangerous? At least he loves me wholeheartedly. Mu Sheng, in all this time, he's never said a bad word about you in front of me. And you think I don't know about your cooperation with him?"
He spoke as if he was a good person. The reason why he became friends with Qi Yue was because of arms.
"Sorry, that's not what I meant!"
"It doesn't matter what it means, but considering you saved my life when I was a child, I hope there won't be a next time. Right, brother-in-law!"
Si Ke smiled sarcastically, but he didn't want to have anything to do with this lunatic anymore.
The word "brother-in-law" made Mu Sheng freeze in his tracks. However, just as Si Ke was about to leave, Mu Sheng grabbed his wrist.
However, Si Ke did not say anything, but shook off Mu Sheng's hand.
Mu Sheng looked at his empty hands and was speechless for a long time.
In the past, Si Ke always liked to follow him, calling his name softly. And her little hands would hold his intentionally or unintentionally. She never let go of him on her own initiative. Looking at her empty palms now, this was the first time she actively shook off his hand.
In the past, he always felt that the one in his heart was Si Nian, her deceased sister, because no one knew better than him how Si Nian died.
Si Nian died so early because he blocked the fatal blow for him.
So over the years, his heart has always stayed with Si Nian.
Until, he accidentally learned from Si's parents that Si Ke had a boyfriend. And this man happened to be someone he knew.
It was not until this moment that he realized what he had overlooked!
He was so self-righteous that as long as he came over, Si Ke would follow him back obediently. Just like before, she would never disobey him. After all, she had been by his side for so many years, following in his footsteps for so many years...
Unfortunately, he was wrong. Si Ke had truly let him go. At that moment, he finally understood the true meaning of the saying, "No one will wait for you forever."
Mu Sheng did not stay at the banquet for too long. He soon said goodbye to Byron and left the venue.
Si Ke's focus naturally wouldn't stay on him. Hadn't he always been stuck in his love for his sister? Then her calling him brother-in-law just now was considered to be fulfilling his wish.
Lao Liu found it a little funny to hear her thoughts. He just felt that he, as the host, was very good at playing the game of killing people and destroying their hearts!
Soon, Si's father, mother, and Qi Yue came downstairs. Si Ke hurried downstairs, hugged his mother and asked what they talked about.
Several people gave Si Ke a meaningful smile.
Then Qi Yue stood up straight and walked towards the podium.
"Welcome all guests to my birthday party. On such a happy day, I have one more thing to announce to everyone. That is, I will be engaged to Ms. Salina Argyle." After he finished speaking, there were bursts of noises from below, and Qi Yue's hand reached out to Si Ke.
"Host, Salina Agyel is your full name in Country Y!" Seeing Si Ke still standing there stupidly, Lao Liu quickly reminded him.
So, the next moment, in front of everyone, Si Ke walked towards the platform.
The emergence of this news also truly proved that Si Ke was a member of the Argyle family.
After the banquet, Qi Yue ordered his men to take Si's father, Si's mother, and Byron back to the Qi family home. Not wanting to cause Qi Yue any trouble, they had originally planned to stay in a hotel. However, even though China was safer than other countries, Qi Yue was still worried. After all, with him involved, there was no chance of safety.
So, unable to resist Si Ke's soft and hard persuasion, the few of them finally moved into the Qi family. Of course, being close to them would give them a better chance to get to know Qi Yue better.
"So, you were in the room with my parents just to discuss the engagement?"
"Your parents hope you can return to Country Y as soon as possible. You haven't completed your studies yet and are currently on leave. To be on the safe side, I think we need to solidify this status. After all, those who are eyeing you are eager to see you."
Si Ke immediately understood what he meant. He was afraid that she would fall into Mu Sheng's trap again after returning to Country Y.
"You don't believe me that much?"
"No, I believe you, but I don't believe him!" Qi Yue pulled her hand and quickly added.
This is a world that values diplomas, and Sike is only twenty years old now. No matter what, she really has to finish college.
So Si Ke nodded and had a plan for the next step in mind.
