The afternoon tea at the Royal Hotel is famously high-end in the entire imperial capital.
This is also the afternoon tea spot chosen by many famous ladies on the Internet. The pastry chefs are among the best in the country, and just a cup of black tea costs more than five figures.
An afternoon tea for a person from a poor family is money that ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime. Not everything in this world is absolutely fair.
Su Jingjing received a call from Xi Moqian at noon, and the little girl on the other end shouted something happily.
Su Jingjing didn't hear a word clearly, and in the end she only heard the words "have afternoon tea here."
When she came over, Xi Moqian had already ordered all the exquisite snacks, and the black tea she served was also brewed from a new variety of tea cultivated in the past two years.
The black tea specially supplied to the Royal Hotel has a taste you can't get anywhere else.
"Sister Su!" Xi Moqian raised her hand and called her over.
Su Jingjing took off her coat and handed it to the waiter next to her, looking around with some emotion.
Being able to recover in such a short period of time after being blown up by Wen Li some time ago is indeed impressive.
"Where is Li Li?" Su Jingjing looked around.
These two little girls are as good as wearing a pair of pants, there is no way they can't come over.
"She went to the bathroom."
Logically speaking, the news about the Huang family has been the hottest in the past two days, and the holiday between Li Li and Huang Ying is a turning point.
"I didn't expect that the Li family would end their cooperation with the Huang family so quickly. Obviously, the second uncle and the others said they didn't need to worry about it before, but this time they used the family's power. The Huang family is really in trouble this time." Xi Moqian He held the gilt black tea cup and spoke.
Affected by the Li family's contract termination turmoil, many group companies in the imperial capital have terminated their cooperation with the Huang family.
The large-scale termination of contracts also caused Huang's stock price to fall rapidly. More importantly, Ying's father was reported for tax evasion this morning and has been taken away for investigation.
"The Li family moved very quickly, almost trying to destroy the Huang family." Su Jingjing stared at the newspaper at hand.
The largest page above is full of photos of Huang Zhengshan's arrest, with eye-catching titles.
"Who told Huang Ying to mess with Lili? My second uncle has always loved Lili the most. This time Huang Ying dared to be so arrogant at the Li family's annual meeting. She must have touched the bottom line of the Li family."
Xi Moqian saw this matter quite clearly. He was born in the imperial capital and saw him rise in tall buildings and watched him fall in tall buildings.
In business, ups and downs are normal.
I don’t know how many companies go bankrupt in the Imperial Capital every year, but the Huang family has only been able to hold on for a little longer.
"Lili!" Xi Moqian looked up and saw the person coming from the bathroom.
Li Li had a smile on his face when he saw Su Jingjing, "Sister Su."
Su Jingjing held her chin up and tasted the lipstick tea, curling her lips with satisfaction, "Have you finished your final exam?"
Li Li thought for a while, "There is one last subject."
Because she only entered school in the second half of the year, she has been reading carefully these two days.
"The Lunar New Year of Country G is coming soon. I have never celebrated the New Year in the imperial capital. It is quite lively. I see that decorations have already begun outside."
Su Jingjing saw the eye-catching red color all the way here to welcome the New Year. The preparations here started half a month in advance.
Red lanterns and silks were hung on the trees on both sides of the road. Times Square was decorated with red lights, making it very lively and festive.
"It's not fun to celebrate the New Year. Grandma and uncle gave us red envelopes and they stayed up late, but I stayed at home for those few days and was too lazy to go out. It's no different from the usual holidays." Li Li said.
The difference is that year after year, what grows is their age.
"There will be a temple fair in the old street in two days, and there will be a lot of people going there." Xi Moqian said, "Why don't I take you and Wen Li to see it in two days."
This piqued Su Jingjing's interest. When she was in Wutong Town, she also went to the temple fair in Wutong Town. The antiques had passed down a lot of traditional culture.
I don’t know what the temple fair in the imperial capital is like.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you something." Li Li hurriedly put down the cup, leaned over and spoke mysteriously, "Last time I saw Brother Xi hugging a woman at the door of your house. "
Xi Moqian bit the cookie, put it down anxiously, and raised his hand to wipe away the crumbs from his mouth.
"my brother?"
"Well, Wen Li and I saw it with our own eyes!"
She had always wanted to ask Xi Moqian, but she had been too busy recently and had forgotten about it. She only remembered it today.
"My brother has a girlfriend?" Xi Moqian blinked.
"Haven't you always doubted Brother Xi's sexual orientation? You don't have to doubt it this time."
Su Jingjing choked on the black tea in her mouth and swallowed it. What were these two little girls thinking about all day
"I've actually always wanted to introduce Sister Su to my eldest brother." Xi Moqian was still a little disappointed.
Su Jingjing twirled the side of the cup with her fingertips and smiled, "It's not like someone like your elder brother can't find a girlfriend."
Xi Mo Qian rested his chin, his face full of sadness.
"You don't know, my brother had a girlfriend when he was in college, but he was studying abroad at that time. I met him a few times. That woman was quite good-looking. But then they broke up for some reason. It seemed like that The woman married someone else and I haven’t seen my brother have a girlfriend since then.”
Speaking of age, her brother is already twenty-six years old.
His parents also arranged blind dates for him several times, but in the end it was nothing.
Even her parents gave up.
"I always wonder if my brother is still thinking about that woman." Xi Moqian sighed.
Li Li took a sip of juice and said, "Isn't it possible? Brother Xi is so handsome, how can anyone abandon him?"
"Do you think my brother suffered psychological trauma after being abandoned by that woman? He hasn't had a girlfriend for so many years." Xi Moqian said this very seriously.
Su Jingjing chuckled, "Some men will hide their trauma deep in their hearts. Your eldest brother is like that."
Xi Moqian's delicate brows wrinkled slightly, "So the eldest brother was hurt by that woman, and that's why he didn't have a girlfriend for so long."
"It can be explained this way."
Li Li looked left and right between the two of them, feeling that there was something wrong with Sister Su's words, as if she was implying something.
"Is that Brother Xi?" Li Li saw the man entering the door.
But there seemed to be a woman following him.
As soon as Xi Moran entered the door, he saw several little girls sitting at the round table, walking over with slender legs and loose steps.
"Brother." Xi Moqian waved.
Xi Moran stood in front of the three people, extremely polite and elegant, wearing a light blue turtleneck sweater and a long dark coat.
Su Jingjing raised her head and glanced. Sure enough, good-looking men are very eye-catching wherever they go.
"Brother Xi, what are you doing?" Li Li looked at Anna behind him with eyes full of gossip.
"I made an appointment with someone up there, so I can have fun by myself." Xi Moran rubbed his sister's head.
Anna stood arrogantly behind Xi Moran, her eyes scanning disdainfully at Su Jingjing who was sipping tea opposite her.
It's this annoying woman again who really haunts me. "Sister Anna, are you busy too?" Xi Moqian leaned over and asked.
Anna raised her hand and coquettishly pulled back her carefully permed and dyed wavy hair, "I made an appointment with my agent to meet here, and it just so happened that the young master sent me here on the way."
Until the two of them went upstairs, Su Jingjing didn't even look at the two of them.
Xi Moqian leaned over and pestered Su Jingjing, "Sister Su, what do you think of my brother?"
Su Jingjing put down the black tea cup in her hand, raised her hand to rub the little girl's head, "Your brother is indeed good in a sense, he is my type, but if you want me to be your sister-in-law, it may not be possible." suitable."
"Why, don't you like my brother?" Xi Moqian was confused.
Su Jingjing leaned over, pressed her little head, and said seriously, "I like her, but it's not suitable."
She and Xi Moran could be the best bed partners, but they would never become husband and wife.
"There's no need to give up the entire forest for a tree." Su Jingjing went to the bathroom.
But Xi Moqian would never understand what Su Jingjing said, so she rested her chin and sighed.
From the time she can remember, all she sees are the feelings of her parents, and her parents' love also affects her to a certain extent.
After handing over the Xi family to Xi Moran, her unreliable parents left the imperial capital and traveled across the continent.
They explain very well that parents love each other, but children are accidents.
In her heart, love should be a lifelong relationship between two people.
Li Li bit her cup and looked up, seeing Jiang Yunhao coming in. The Royal Hotel was really busy today.
When his eyes touched the bodyguard following him, Li Li lowered his head and looked away.
She said that if they didn't bother each other, she wouldn't disturb his life.
"How about we go on a trip during the Chinese New Year this year? Take Wen Li with you." Xi Moqian leaned over and spoke.
Li Li shook the black tea in the cup, looking a little dazed, "Wen Li won't have time to go out with us."
She was far busier than Xi Moqian imagined.
"That's right." Xi Moqian held her chin in boredom, "She has such a good relationship with the young master, she must have spent the New Year with the young master."
In the restroom behind the restaurant on the first floor, the carved brass faucet swishes water downwards.
There is a half-person-high blue and white porcelain vase placed at the corner entrance. The decoration of this hotel is indeed luxurious to the extreme.
Two men and women were entangled with each other beside the wall, and two bodyguards stood at the entrance with cold expressions.
People passing by would not approach easily when they see this posture. The Royal Hotel belongs to the Fu family, and it is not a place where anyone can act wild in the imperial capital.
Anyone who can use bodyguards in this place will try not to interfere with each other.
With a blush appearing behind her cold white ears, Su Jingjing raised her head and accepted the man's gentle kiss that was sweeping through the storm.
After a while, the two separated, with the man's elegant and handsome face filled with surging lust.
Su Jingjing put one arm around the man's waist and wiped off the lipstick on his lips with one hand.
"Young Master Xi, don't blame me for not reminding you. While you and I are still in contact, I don't like sharing a man with other women."
The man chuckled, accepting her teasing, and pressed her against him. His lips gently brushed behind her ears and went towards her most sensitive neck.
"Jealous?"
Su Jingjing tightened her fingers around his, raised her head and said unceremoniously, "I don't like that woman, do you need me to tell you again?"
Xi Moran chuckled and rubbed her waist with his fingertips, "It just happened to happen."
"Young Master Xi's words are the common language used by all men to deal with women."
"You said at the beginning that our relationship was limited to bed. Why do you want to care about things around me now?"
The way the man flirts with her is elegant. For such a man, everything on the outside is elegant and decent.
Su Jingjing has finally tried the wildness sealed by the suit.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just reminding you that if you sleep with another woman during this period, don't blame me for being rude."
She really wanted to play in the world, but she couldn't do it like others, since she and Xi Moran were bed partners during this period.
Naturally, he is not allowed to have other women. Naturally, after they are tired of each other, he will look for whoever he wants and have nothing to do with her.
"Sir, it's time." The assistant reminded at the door.
Xi Moran buttoned up the unbuttoned clothes for her one by one. After finishing them, he lowered his head, kissed her cheek and turned away.
Su Jingjing turned around and straightened her clothes in the mirror.
The man who came over just now was a little anxious, and his handbag fell on the edge of the sink and got some water on it.
Carefully remove the smeared lipstick from your lips and reapply it.
"Snapped… "
A black object fell next to Su Jingjing's hand and happened to fall into the sink.
It's a black powder.
Su Jingjing slowly screwed the lipstick cap back on, and the woman behind her had already reached her side.
"You shameless woman." Anna glared angrily.
Su Jingjing threw the lipstick back into her bag, and her retouched makeup was exquisite and beautiful, no worse than any first-line female star.
"Keep scolding."
"You actually dare to seduce the young master. You, a woman who doesn't know how high the sky is, are really extremely shameless."
Su Jingjing half-leaned on the sink, lowering her head and playing with her newly made manicure.
"You want face, isn't the man you want most lying on my bed?"
Ana was stunned by her words and her face turned red, "That's because..."
"Pretending to be reserved, do you think that one day Xi Moran will come to you on his own?" Su Jingjing chuckled, "Why do people care about so many external reputations? They know what they want most. Isn’t it enough just what the thing is?”
The bag in Su Jingjing's hand patted her shoulder gently, quite provocatively.
"Think about it carefully, my reserved eldest lady. I am not afraid to tell you that I took the initiative to seduce him."
Ana looked at the woman walking away arrogantly with her handbag, and slapped her hand on the sink angrily.
"This shameless woman!!!"
She had been guarding her for so many years, but she was defeated by such a shameless woman.
Before Su Jingjing reached the hall, she heard the sounds of people surrounding the future from all directions.
It was as if something was broken and then fell to the ground. The sound of broken glass was particularly obvious, and there was also the sound of blunt objects colliding...
