Murong Qiao didn't know that the person she bumped into just now was her cousin Gong Banyan, so after apologizing, she went to find Murong Chen.

But Gong Banyan became interested in Murong Qiao.

Her gaze has been following Murong Qiao, and there is an intimacy in her heart that is hard to ignore, it is a kind of blood hub.

At this time, Murong Chen was exchanging greetings with others, talking about the recent situation of Shengjing Group.

This family gathering inevitably invited some friends, so it was also somewhat commercial.

"Brother." Murong Qiao called him softly.

Murong Chen took a look at Murong Qiao who was standing aside, and quickly spoke to the person in front of him. "Excuse me."

"There are a lot of people here today, if you are interested, you can also meet one or two people of the same age." Murong Chen said to Murong Qiao. "This time an elder is also here, we can get to know each other later."

What Murong Chen was talking about was naturally Gong Banyan.

Because of Murong Qiao's return, the scale of this year's family gathering is larger than before, some elders also brought young people from their families, and they all want to get acquainted with Murong Qiao more.

Mentioning people of the same age made Murong Qiao subconsciously think of the young lady he saw just now.

"Elder?" Murong Qiao was puzzled.

Hearing Murong Chen's somewhat respectful tone, Murong Qiao immediately pictured a respectable old man with a kind face in his mind.

"Yes," Murong Chen nodded, and wanted to say hello to his younger sister, but saw another familiar face coming to say hello to him. "Later."

Seeing that his brother was busy, Murong Qiao didn't ask any further questions, and found a place to stand by himself.

She was holding a plate of small pastries in her hand, and her eyes were wandering in the front hall, but it was a pity that An Nuo was not by her side this time, which made Murong Qiao somewhat uncomfortable.

Moreover, many gazes were vaguely on her body, which really made her a little uncomfortable.

"Murong Qiao?" It was the voice just now.

Murong Qiao followed the sound and saw the girl who spoke rudely just now.

Xu Yang didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with calling people by their names directly, so he walked up to Murong Qiao holding up his skirt.

"Get to know me, my name is Xu Yang." She looked at Murong Qiao, but her tone was not polite.

Xu Yang would not have greeted her if the elders in the family wanted her to get acquainted with Murong Qiao.

He said he knew each other, but Xu Yang's appearance seemed to be annoying.

Murong Qiao nodded, moved slightly and did not speak.

Xu Yang was surprised by her neglect, Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, and then felt offended.

Xu Yang turned cold, "I'm talking to you."

She has always been favored at home, no one has ever dared to treat her like Murong Qiao.

"Oh." Murong Qiao's tone remained unchanged, "So?"

She finally shifted her gaze from the cake to Xu Yang in front of her, but that casual attitude made Xu Yang anxious again.

"Is this how the Murong family's upbringing is?" Xu Yang stomped his feet. "I don't see a little bit of gold in you."

The Xu family is not bad in the circle, but they are not as good as the Murong family, so Xu Yang was told by the elders to make friends with Murong Qiao.

It's a pity that Xu Yang didn't have grand plans and great achievements in his mind, and only delicate and stupid things remained in his spoiled mind. After learning that Murong Qiao was the daughter who came home halfway, he even looked down on Miss Murong from the bottom of his heart.

This contempt became even stronger after she reluctantly greeted Murong Qiao but failed to please him.

"My upbringing is only shown to those who respect me." Murong Qiao didn't show weakness either.

Her tone of voice was cold and hard, and she looked at Xu Yang with sharp eyes like knives. The two of them only spoke a few words, but it was enough to make Murong Qiao lose his favor for her.

Xu Yang was even more annoyed when she heard her say this, "There are things that are born by mothers but not taught by mothers, no wonder you have such virtues when you become a daughter."

She had read some of Murong Qiao's materials before, but now she was so offended by the other party, she couldn't speak her mind and said something.

As soon as these words came out, Murong Qiao's expression turned cold, and his whole aura also changed.

Snapped!

She didn't even say anything extra, and just slapped Xu Yang.

The onlookers who were paying attention to the movements of the two were all stunned by this scene. They didn't expect that Miss Murong would make a move after a disagreement.

It was because Xu Yang's voice was too low that many people couldn't hear him clearly, but Gong Banyan, who was very close to him, could hear him clearly.

"It's very strong." Gong Banyan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Murong Qiao.

She was originally observing Murong Qiao, and happened to catch this scene in her eyes, and Gong Banyan was even more interested in Murong Qiao's straightforward and neat performance.

Aside from the face that resembles Murong Yan, Murong Qiao's personality is also full of the appetite of being in the palace.

Murong Qiao didn't notice Gong Banyan's observation of him, and now his chest was filled with anger, and the eyes he looked at Xu Yang were also particularly unkind.

Saying that she is uneducated is not enough, but also involving her mother, Murong Qiao really thinks that Xu Yang is very courageous and dares to say anything.

"You—" Xu Yang covered his face and was also very angry, but when he met Murong Qiao's cold eyes, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

The burning pain on her cheek made her gasp slightly, but Xu Yang didn't show weakness, and he didn't feel it was his fault when he was beaten at this time. The only thing he didn't expect was that Murong Qiao would do it right away.

Xu Yang is usually sarcastic, and he is used to poking people's pain points with his mouth.

But the pain that hadn't gone away reminded Xu Yang that Murong Qiao was different from those who dared not fight back against her.

"What's the matter?" A middle-aged man walked over with a frown.

His concerned eyes fell on Xu Yang, and he saw the red and swollen palm prints on Xu Yang's face at a glance.

The person who came was Xu Heng, Xu Yang's father and the current head of the Xu family.

The daughter was beaten, so the father naturally had to ignore it. Xu Heng glanced at Murong Qiao who was standing on the other side, and suddenly felt a headache.

"Miss Murong, my daughter is still young, and her words are a little ignorant." Xu Heng first admitted his mistake, "But you shouldn't hit someone."

After all, he dotes on his daughter, the meaning of the words is obvious.

Although my daughter said bad things about you, but you hit someone, you have to apologize.

Murong Qiao shook her hands, and before she could speak, someone spoke for her.

"I think it's very suitable." It was Gong Banyan.

She came over naturally and inserted herself into the conversation.

"If you didn't learn your lesson when you were young, wouldn't you dare to kill and set fire when you grow up?" Gong Banyan chuckled lightly.

Although she had a smile on her face, her tone of voice was clearly protecting Murong Qiao.

Xu Heng originally frowned and wanted to make Murong Qiao apologize, but after seeing Gong Banyan, his thoughts disappeared and he made a quick decision.

It's good to mess with anyone, but don't mess with this aunt anyway.

"You're right." Xu Heng smiled apologetically.

The speed at which he changed his face made everyone sigh.

Murong Qiao looked at Gong Banyan curiously, not understanding why the other party suddenly came out to protect her.

She had a little impression of Gong Banyan, but that was the last time Jiang Chi investigated, she took a casual look and only knew that he was a singer.

"Besides, I heard it clearly from the side. Does Patriarch Xu need me to repeat what your daughter said?" Gong Banyan asked bluntly.

She likes to solve problems directly, and she has a straightforwardness that is incompatible with aristocratic and wealthy families.

Of course Xu Yang knew what kind of father he was. Hearing Gong Banyan's words that he didn't intend to save face for him, Xu Heng immediately turned pale.
