Chapter 18: Innocent Young Master vs. Gold-Worshipping Dream Girl 18
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be so young." Mika said politely.
Jiang Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then quickly put it down.
"You too, I've admired you for a long time."
But Xia Tian's attention was attracted by the ring on Jiang Qi's middle finger when he shook hands with him.
That circle was as simple as the cheap plastic ring in a two-dollar store, and it was silver-white. Under the luxurious lighting in the hall, it actually gave off a sense of nobility.
So, is it because he still likes her, or does he simply not want to forget that humiliating past?
She couldn't help but look up at the boy in front of her, oh no, now he is a man.
His features were clearer than before, and his cold, pale face looked more calm and steady.
In the news, he is a true business elite. After graduation, he went directly to Shengshi’s headquarters. In less than two years, he became the general manager based on his strength.
Now, he is the youngest director in Beijing after Sheng Junyi.
It is almost identical to the description in the book after she abandoned him.
But these are all external descriptions. Apart from these, what kind of person is he? Even if she is the author, she seems unable to understand him at this moment.
From the conversation just now, it was not difficult to hear that Jiang Qi hated her, but looking at the ring, she suddenly became more confident. At least she still existed in her memory. As long as she existed, she could do whatever she wanted.
How did Xia Tian in the book get him?
Mika glanced at Xia Tian, as if thinking for a moment, and then asked, "It seems that you know my translator."
Jiang Qi's eyes were a little vague, and his deep eyes fell on Xia Tian. He suddenly smiled: "My...girlfriend."
Mika looked at Xia Tian with a hint of surprise in his eyes, waiting for her answer.
Xia Tian laughed awkwardly: "He was joking."
Jiang Qi's dark eyes instantly became cold, and he said with a wooden face: "Yes, it was just a joke, I hope Miss Xia doesn't mind."
Xia Tian curved her lips and said, "I do mind it a little, but I have already forgiven Mr. Jiang."
Her smile seemed to say: Look at me, I'm so generous that I forgave you so easily, why are you so stingy?
Jiang Qi's heart tightened and he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
He really wanted to say, what qualifications do you have to say forgiveness?
But during these 2,630 days and nights, this was clearly not what he wanted to say.
But even if he couldn't wait to say it, what would it change? A woman who abandoned him appeared in front of him with another man's hand.
He should have thought of it long ago. She would never let him suffer any loss. Why should she still care about a man who was abandoned by her own hands?
Mika understood the inexplicable atmosphere between the two of them and suddenly raised his hand to put his arm around Xia Tian's shoulders.
Xia Tian was a little confused and dodged slightly to the side.
Mika, however, used some strength to bring her closer.
"My translator doesn't seem to be used to this occasion. After all, she was notified at short notice. We will go back today and meet formally tomorrow."
Jiang Qi's eyebrows were cold and his eyes were fixed on his hand as if he wanted to chisel a hole in it.
"Miss Xia, are you really not used to it?"
Xia Tian's eyes dodged for a moment, and he said, "Mr. Mika will only arrive at the hotel this afternoon, and his schedule is a bit rushed. If there is nothing important, we will go back to the hotel first. After all, there is a two-hour meeting tomorrow, and we also need to make some preparations."
Jiang Qi restrained his emotions, smiled slightly, and raised his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "In that case, let the bodyguard take you back."
Mika put his arm around her shoulders and said softly, "Thank you."
"Wait!" A shrill female voice came from ten steps away from them.
Xia Tian heard it, but held Mika down and told him not to pay any attention to it.
However, the man had no intention of letting them go, and immediately called two bodyguards to stop them.
Mika frowned and turned to ask Jiang Qi: "What does this mean?"
Xia Tian comforted him, "Please wait a moment, they may have misunderstood, I will communicate with them."
Mika nodded slightly.
Jiang Qi glanced at Sheng Wenwen who was walking towards them, then raised his eyes and winked at the bodyguard, who looked at Sheng Wenwen with some embarrassment.
"What? Is she the one who makes the decisions for the Sheng family now?" Jiang Qi asked coldly.
Sheng Wenwen glanced at him arrogantly and sneered: "How can someone who is unwilling to change his surname for the sake of the Sheng family be qualified to be the head of the Sheng family?"
Xia Tian took a look and interrupted them: "Miss Sheng, this gentleman is your guest, you'd better think it over carefully."
Sheng Wenwen was originally confronting Jiang Qi, but after hearing her words, she turned her attention to her.
"He is a guest, what are you?"
Xia Tian raised an eyebrow: "I'm his translator."
Sheng Wenwen covered her lips and smiled, "I've never heard of bringing an interpreter to a banquet. You're not a high-ranking official. You might as well say you're his mistress. Maybe I'll give you some face."
Xia Tian now felt that she was an idiot, and her feelings towards her had reached their peak. In such a long time since they met, didn't she check the identities of the guests who could enter the Sheng family dinner?
Honestly speaking, when I was creating her character, I never thought that the real presentation would be like this.
Jiang Qi probably thought she was being stupid, so he immediately apologized to Mika.
"I'm sorry, it's my sister, I was a little rude, please forgive me."
When Mika heard that it was Jiang Qi's sister, his brows frowned even more. No one had ever told him that his partner was such a person.
He glanced at Sheng Wenwen angrily and said to Jiang Qi, "Before I came here, I was very sincere, but now I feel very sorry. A partner who doesn't respect people is not what I need. Sorry, I may go back to Strasbourg as soon as possible."
Strasbourg? Sheng Wenwen's mind exploded, and she looked at Mika in astonishment.
"You are, Mr. Mika?"
When Sheng Wenwen asked this question, she already had the answer in her mind. Apart from Mika, whom she invited, who was from Strasbourg, there was no one else.
There were many foreigners present, which led her to not care about Mika's identity at all, especially since Xia Tian was by his side. In her heart, she already regarded Xia Tian as a kept lover, so she always looked at the men around her with tinted glasses.
But who can tell her what to do now?
This cooperation was an opportunity she had gotten by working hard to prove to her father that she was no worse than Jiang Qi, but now it was all messed up.
Mika glanced at her and said, "We have been discussing cooperation intentions half a year ago, but now you don't even know who I am. Although Menghara needs a strong partner, you are not the only one in the world."
After saying that, he took Xia Tian's hand and was about to leave, but then he thought of something, turned back suddenly, and said angrily:
"You must apologize to my translator. I hired her with great difficulty."
Whenever he got angry, he would speak French, so that the people present not only knew that he was angry, but also looked at Xia Tian with a confused look on their faces.
