Her questioning tone and arrogant gaze made it seem as if Jian Ai was a dirty thing and was not worthy of being here.

Jian Ai didn’t know Lu Qiaoqiao’s identity, let alone that she was Lu Youcai’s daughter. She just didn’t have a good impression of this girl in front of her, so she couldn’t be bothered with her.

Jian Ai silently retracted her gaze and ignored Lu Qiaoqiao. She walked around Yu Xiaoran and walked towards the bathroom.

Lu Qiaoqiao saw that the other party was so condescending. This was her family’s manor, but they didn’t even take her, the owner, seriously?

Furious, Lu Qiaoqiao looked at Jian Ai’s back and shouted, “Hey! I’m asking you a question!”

!!

As she spoke, Lu Qiaoqiao wanted to chase after her. Since she was young, no one had ever looked down on her like this. Now, a young lady was making a face at her, and it was her territory. She naturally could not take this lying down.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoran grabbed her body from the side and a gentle voice sounded from above her head. “Qiaoqiao, stop fooling around. Today’s occasion is not right. Don’t cause trouble for Uncle Lu!”

“Look at her. She ignored me when I spoke to her. She’s not taking me seriously!” Lu Qiaoqiao looked arrogant and stomped her feet in anger.

However, facing Yu Xiaoran, she did not dare to go overboard. She ultimately wanted to leave a good impression in front of him.

Yu Xiaoran looked at the spot where Jian Ai had disappeared and smiled. Then, he looked at Lu Qiaoqiao and asked, “Why? Do you know that girl?”

“She snatched the cufflink I liked! Brother Xiaoran, didn’t I tell you before?!” Lu Qiaoqiao puffed up her cheeks. Her chest still ached thinking of that matter.

“Oh?” Yu Xiaoran’s eyes lit up as if he had heard something interesting. “You said that girl just now bought the global, limited edition cufflink you liked?”

Lu Qiaoqiao nodded with an aggrieved expression. Then, she felt that Yu Xiaoran’s words were inappropriate and couldn’t help but correct him. “She snatched it away! I saw it first, but I was just a little late. She beat me to it!”

“I initially wanted to give those cufflinks to my father as a birthday gift, but when I found out that they were a limited edition, my first reaction was to buy them for you. However, I didn’t get them. She had already paid for them.”

In the end, Lu Qiaoqiao sounded like she was crying, as if she had been wronged.

Yu Xiaoran pursed his thin lips and smiled as if the story Lu Qiaoqiao told was very interesting. Not only did he not sympathize with Lu Qiaoqiao, but he also blinked playfully.

“Brother Xiaoran, do you know her?” Lu Qiaoqiao reacted and quickly asked.

Yu Xiaoran shook his head and denied it. “No, I just accidentally bumped into her just now. I didn’t expect you to know her.”

“Tsk!” Lu Qiaoqiao pursed her lips indignantly and gritted her teeth as she muttered, “I wonder whose family she is from. When I find out, I’ll ask my father to teach their company a lesson.”

“There’s no need, right?” Yu Xiaoran looked at Lu Qiaoqiao calmly and said, “It’s just a pair of cufflinks. If you can’t buy them, so be it. Why make a mountain out of a molehill?”

“Make a mountain out of a molehill?” Lu Qiaoqiao’s expression darkened. She said seriously, “You don’t know how she humiliated me that day. It’s fine if I didn’t see her, but now that I’ve seen her, there’s no reason for her to humiliate me for no reason. I have to get back at her!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Qiaoqiao pulled Yu Xiaoran’s arm and swayed it back and forth unhappily. “Brother Xiaoran, why are you speaking up for her? I was the one who got bullied. You should stand on my side.”

“Alright, do whatever you want. I won’t interfere with you,” Yu Xiaoran said.

When Lu Qiaoqiao heard this, she smiled and pulled Yu Xiaoran towards the banquet hall with an intimate and satisfied expression.

After Jian Ai came out of the bathroom, she returned to the cocktail party. When she looked up, she saw Jian Changsheng walking towards her.

Jian Ai stopped in her tracks and watched Jian Changsheng approach her step by step.

Jian Changsheng smiled at Jian Ai. However, the redness on his cheek made his smile look forced, but he still tried his best to smile.

Jian Ai raised her eyebrows and looked at Jian Changsheng. “Did someone hit Chairman Jian?”

As soon as she spoke, the old greeting of Uncle Jian became Chairman Jian. She even exposed Jian Changsheng’s secret.

Jian Changsheng was a smart person. Jian Ai’s tone, and attitude towards him was unprecedentedly hostile and distant. This was something he had never felt before. Even when the two of them had conflicts because of the company’s competition, Jian Ai’s attitude had not reached this level.

Therefore, Jian Changsheng had guessed something.

“You… you know?” Jian Changsheng asked uneasily, but he was looking forward to it.

Xiao Ai knew he was her father!

However, Jian Ai blinked when she heard Jian Changsheng’s words. She looked at Jian Changsheng with a frown and asked, “What do you mean, Chairman Jian? What do I know?”

Jian Ai’s attitude was aggressive, and her words stunned Jian Changsheng.

He could feel that Xiao Ai knew something, but was her attitude towards him because she didn’t want to admit it?

A huge sense of disappointment surged in his heart. Jian Changsheng smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. “Nothing. I just saw you were here, so I came over to greet you.”

The obvious loneliness and pitiful attitude on his face would shock those who did not know the truth. The CEO of the Jian Group, who could call the wind and rain in Baiyun City, had his temper grasped by a girl?

However, Jian Ai was unmoved. In her eyes, the guiltier Jian Changsheng was, the more she felt this person was hypocritical and disgusting.

“Chairman Jian, you’re flattering me. I’m just a small CEO of East Sea Real Estate. How can I trouble you, the CEO of the Jian Group, to greet me personally? If others know this, they would say that I have no rules as a junior, so please treat me as air in the future. If you see me, pretend not to see me. I can also heave a sigh of relief.”

“After all, what I hate the most in my life is fake courtesy. As the saying goes, people of different paths don’t work together. Chairman Jian, you should understand what I mean, right?”

Jian Ai looked at Jian Changsheng with disdain and provocation.

Jian Changsheng felt the expression in Jian Ai’s eyes and felt suffocated in his chest. He opened his mouth to say something, but Jian Ai had already looked away and walked around him.

“Xiao…” Jian Changsheng froze on the spot. Looking at Jian Ai’s back, he could feel her determination and coldness.
