In the evening of the next day, Xue Rin still picked up Yao Zhixia from work as before, but as soon as he got in the car, Yao Zhixia said, "Xue Rin, can you send me home first?"

"What's wrong? forgot to bring something?" Xue Rin didn't take tonight's party seriously, and was only wearing plain civilian clothes that he usually wears.

"I want to go home and change my clothes. ”

When Xue Rin heard this, she turned her head sideways and looked Yao Zhixia up and down, only to see her hair tied back haphazardly, a beige linen dress on her body, and a pair of white canvas shoes on her feet.

"It's true that I'm a little underwhelmed, and it's going to be cold at night, but it's okay, my coat is for you. After Xue Rin finished speaking, he set the car on fire and drove the car out of the parking space.

"Xue Rin, I'm too casual, right?"

Not only clothes, Yao Zhixia is still worried about her plain face, she has not painted makeup for so many years, not to mention that other girls buy a lot of cosmetics.

"You don't need to change, you're so good, what, are you planning to overwhelm the crowd?"

Xue Rin didn't care about this, he had seen Yao Zhixia's most embarrassed and unkempt appearance, and she was so plain that she made him feel comfortable.

"No, I just thought that the people I'm going to meet tonight are your old classmates, and I don't want to embarrass you. ”

"Hey, if you want to say that it won't be your turn to lose face, the messy things I did before are probably spread among them, I don't care, what do you care? Your task tonight is to eat well and drink well, but you are not allowed to drink, lest I carry you back. Xue Rin smiled and shook Yao Zhixia's hand.

Yao Zhixia didn't say anything more, so she had to try her best to overcome the uneasiness and anxiety in her heart.

When the two walked into the clubhouse, the luxurious decoration of the room made Yao Zhixia even sweat in her palms, and Xue Rin saw her trembling expression, and immediately reached out to hold her hand.

"My hands are dry, give me moisture. ”

Hearing this, Yao Zhixia's tense nerves instantly relaxed, she pursed her lips and smiled, and walked forward by Xue Rin's side.

Entering the private room, there were already several people sitting around the huge round table, and as soon as they saw Xue Rin walk in, they all stood up and looked at the door.

"Oh! Isn't this our eldest son Xue! I haven't returned to China for so many years, and I finally see you again!" A bloated boy A immediately stepped forward to shake hands with Xue Rin.

But Xue Rin didn't mean to stretch out his hand, just smiled politely.

The boy silently withdrew his hand, trying to cover up the embarrassment with laughter: "Hahaha, Master Xue has really not changed at all after so many years!"

"Are you?" Xue Rin said with a blank face.

Boy A was choked by Xue Rin's words for a while, and at this time, another boy B came over, put one hand on Boy A's shoulder, and said in a half-joking and half-mocking tone: "How can Xue Rin remember you, don't be ashamed!"

Being ridiculed in front of the men and women at this table, Boy A's face was a little unsightly, but it was not good either, so he had to return to his seat stupidly.

Boy B couldn't help but shift his gaze to the woman beside Xue Rin, in their circle, whether it was a celebrity or a woman from all walks of life who wanted to get close, it was impossible to dress like this.

According to the rumors they had heard before, the female companion that Xue Rin would bring with him was either a bewitching woman with big breasts and a thin waist, or a celebrity with comparable financial resources in the family, so she would not be such a shabby-dressed and unattractive woman in front of her.

"Who is this?" said Boy B.

Xue Rin replied with a cold expression, "She's my girlfriend." ”

Out of courtesy, Yao Zhixia wanted to lean over to greet everyone present, but was brought to the table by Xue Rin, he didn't care about the other people's faces, naturally pulled out the chair, settled Yao Zhixia on it, and sat next to her casually.

On the other side of a chair across from Yao Zhixia's seat sat two well-dressed girls with exquisite makeup, and Yao Zhixia could clearly feel their gaze with her spare eyes.

Yao Zhixia, who had never been so concerned, couldn't help but lower her head, staring at the delicate tableware in front of her, practice proved that she couldn't adapt to this kind of occasion at all.

"Come back quickly! Don't be bored! Xue Rin has been abroad for so many years, it's normal not to recognize it, Xue Rin, don't mind, I haven't seen you for so many years, everyone still misses you very much!"

The female voice from the corner opposite the round table attracted Yao Zhixia's attention, she looked up and saw a beautiful woman with a gentle and dignified smile on her face, and her demeanor and demeanor knew that she was everyone's beautiful lady at a glance.

"Squad leader, my father mentioned to me before that the security system of our group's properties is provided by your company, and there has been no fault for so many years, and my father is full of praise for this, and I hope to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future. ”

When Xue Rin spoke, Yao Zhixia looked at him silently from the side, not as indifferent and ignorant as before, Xue Rin was smiling at this time, and there was a bit of respect in his tone.

"Xue Dong is too polite, speaking of which, my family should thank him for trusting our technology, as long as Qianxiang Group needs it in the future, we will go all out, you come back this time, and you are also planning to take over the group's business, right?"

When the woman spoke, Yao Zhixia could hardly take her eyes off, such calmness and elegance were something she had never seen before.

"My old man has no intention of retiring, I have been abroad for so many years, I am afraid that he has no bottom in his heart!" Xue Rin didn't say any more, but turned around and motioned to the waiter who had been waiting in the corner to add him tea.

The woman saw that Xue Rin didn't mean to say it in detail, so she didn't continue to ask.

Yao Zhixia found that even the waiter who was adding tea to Xue Rin was wearing an elegant uniform, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart, and his hands subconsciously grabbed his skirt.

"Come, thirsty. ”

A cup full of tea appeared in front of Yao Zhixia's eyes, she looked up at Xue Rin, and then realized that the cup of tea was for her.

As soon as she wanted to say something to Xue Rin, her eyes were attracted by the two figures that suddenly appeared at the door.

"I'm sorry, everyone, it's been a long time to do your hair!" said one of the women cheerfully, then pulled the other towards the round table.

Yao Zhixia stared intently at the other woman who had not yet spoken, and his heart beat faster.

That was the only person she knew besides Xue Rin, Lin Qingyu.

After scanning the room, Lin Qingyu's gaze finally stopped on Xue Rin, she hadn't seen Xue Rin since the last time she said goodbye to the company.

Today, I came out with my best friend Liang Xinyue to do my hair, only to learn by chance that they had a class reunion tonight, Liang Xinyue knew that Lin Qingyu and Xue Rin had dated before, so she took the initiative to bring her over, in order to help her best friend create an opportunity to contact Xue Rin.

As for Lin Qingyu, he said that he didn't look down on Xue Rin, but in his heart he was still worried about his rejection by Xue Rin, how could Lin Qingyu, who had wanted anything since he was a child, just forget it, so he readily agreed to Liang Xinyue's invitation.

Xue Rin looked indifferent, for him, he should have made it clear to Lin Qingyu, and the decision that should have been done had already been done, and now Lin Qingyu is just the person in charge of the group's cooperation project, only talking about business, not involving individuals.

But Yao Zhixia on the side didn't think so, she had seen Xue Rin and Lin Qingyu dating on the boat, and she had seen the two of them go to the supermarket to buy things together, and the important thing was that she had seen Xue Rin treat Lin Qingyu gently, although Xue Rin had never mentioned Lin Qingyu since she was with her, but now that she suddenly saw Lin Qingyu, Yao Zhixia was still uncomfortable, because in her heart, she had always hidden the idea that she was not as good as Lin Qingyu.

"Liang Xinyue, who is this beautiful young lady? Why have I never seen you bring it?"

As soon as boy A saw Lin Qingyu, he was attracted by her graceful figure and good looks, and couldn't help but ask.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is my best friend Lin Qingyu, the only daughter of the chairman of the Dahua Group, who has been living abroad before, and only came back this year to take over the group's investment business. Liang Xinyue proudly introduced Lin Qingyu to everyone present, and glanced at Xue Rin at the end.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Qingyu, I'm really sorry, I'm still here to join in the fun at your class reunion, I hope you don't mind. Lin Qingyu's smile was still so touching, and she stroked her hair with her hand after speaking.

"There's a big beautiful woman who is having dinner with us, I can't ask for it, how can I mind!, come, two beautiful women sit next to me!" Boy B immediately got up and pulled out the two chairs beside him, motioning for them to come and sit.

Lin Qingyu walked over and threw a smile at boy B, and this smile immediately made boy B her minister under her skirt.

Lin Qingyu didn't pay attention to boy B, she pretended to glance at Xue Rin inadvertently, but just as she saw Xue Rin pick up the cup of tea in front of the woman next to her, she drank it without asking a word.

She locked her gaze in surprise on the woman beside Xue Rin who was not good-looking and didn't even have makeup, she was a little familiar with that face, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.

Lin Qingyu was thinking about it, but the squad leader asked, "Xue Rin, why hasn't Senior Gong Yan arrived yet?"

Gong Yan and Xue Rin went to the same school, Gong Yan has been a student union cadre of the school since he was a child, and he began to serve as the president of the student union when he was a freshman in high school, and there are not many students who can go to school in this school, and everyone knows each other's family background well, and the relationship between Xue Rin and Gong Yan is self-evident.

"He called me an hour ago and said there was a delay and that he would be late, so let's just start and leave him alone. ”

The class leader nodded and motioned for the waiter to serve the food, while the other students chatted enthusiastically.

Xue Rin tilted her head while playing with Yao Zhixia's fingers under the table, and whispered in her ear: "The reason why Gong Yan came late is because he found someone to investigate Liu Piaopiao's matter. ”

Yao Zhixia looked up at Xue Rin in surprise, he couldn't believe that people like them were so efficient, it seemed that in their eyes, there was nothing in the world that could not be done.

"Who is this young lady? Why have you never seen it, Xue Rin, don't you want to introduce me?"

Liang Xinyue began to look at Xue Rin and the woman beside him as early as when she sat down, after all, she was the person her best friend had a crush on, and she had to help the trouble.

"She's my girlfriend. ”

Xue Rin responded impatiently again, when she was in school, she felt that Liang Xinyue was very noisy, but she didn't expect that she hadn't changed at all after so many years.

The other people present didn't have any special reactions, Xue Rin was a lone ranger when he was in school, and his family background was one of the best in the class, so everyone didn't dare to mess with him, and then he went to the UK early, and he cut off contact with everyone, if it weren't for Gong Yan's matchmaking, and to give the class president face, he wouldn't have disdained to come to this boring class reunion.

The onlookers were still chatting, but Liang Xinyue, who heard this answer, was so shocked that she couldn't speak, she secretly turned her head to look at Lin Qingyu's face, only to see Lin Qingyu lowering her eyes, and her eyes were full of terrifying coldness.

Regarding Xue Rin's previous refusal, Lin Qingyu has always kept it a secret from the outside world, and even to her best friend Liang Xinyue, she lied that she wanted to hang Xue Rin and didn't want to develop too fast, so she took the initiative to reduce her date.

But this sudden appearance of Xue Rin's "girlfriend" made Lin Qingyu lose face in front of her best friend, which made Lin Qingyu, who originally planned to give up Xue Rin, rekindle her fighting spirit, if she rejected herself for the sake of a girl who was better than her, she would be convinced, but the mediocre-looking woman in front of her was like the humiliation that Xue Rin put on her, so that Lin Qingyu couldn't swallow this breath.

"I'm familiar with this young lady, have we met anywhere?" Lin Qingyu's voice became a little sharper.

As soon as the people present heard this question, they all fell silent, for this strange face brought by Xue Rin, everyone seemed to be very interested in her identity, and the woman who could be favored by the son of the Xue family must be either the daughter of a noble in the business world or the daughter of a political dignitary.

Yao Zhixia was stared at by Lin Qingyu's scorching gaze, she clenched her fists nervously, thinking about how to answer.

Feeling the five fingers in his hand curled up together, Xue Rinyun clenched Yao Zhixia's hand lightly.

"Miss Lin, my girlfriend is not a person in your circle, I'm afraid I haven't seen it. Xue Rin replied.

Lin Qingyu, who wanted to test the details of the other party, asked a sentence at this time, but was blocked back by Xue Rin himself, and for a while she couldn't open her mouth and continue to ask, so she had to squeeze out a smile and keep silent.

Liang Xinyue on the side was indignant for her best friend, this Xue Rin had obviously chased Lin Qingyu tightly before, and he had only been hanging him for a while, so he found such a poor woman to humiliate Lin Qingyu, she really couldn't stop there.

"Xue Rin, you are too protective of your girlfriend, right! We even answered for her, we are just curious about whose daughter she is, after all, she may become the daughter-in-law of the chairman of Qianxiang Group in the future, this is related to the interests of the group, don't be blinded by some people with ulterior motives, now many girls are playing some tricks in order to catch people in our circle!"

Liang Xinyue has always been a sharp-toothed person, and she did not shy away from glaring at Yao Zhixia when she said this, making it clear that she wanted to humiliate her.

Boy B on the side also echoed, "Yes, I participated in the party a few days ago, and I was almost deceived by the kind of peripheral girl who pretended to be innocent, Xue Rin, you have to be careful!"

Yao Zhixia lowered her head, and the words of the man and woman in front of her pierced her heart mercilessly like a thorn, but what made her desperate the most was not that she was insulted, but that she was powerless to refute at all, she was already different from Xue Rin, even if she explained, who would be able to listen to the people present?

"Liang Xinyue, I think I need to remind you that the affairs of our Qianxiang Group have nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with you who I Xue Rin wants to marry, I advise you to worry about your company's stock price, I heard that it has been falling sharply recently. ”

Xue Rin said coldly, and then pulled Yao Zhixia to stand up, "Squad leader, the reason why I came here today is mainly for the sake of you and Gong Yan's face, but it's a pity that this time is very boring, my girlfriend and I have other things, let's go first, say hello to your old man on my behalf." ”

After Xue Rin finished speaking, he walked towards the door with Yao Zhixia without looking back, leaving the men and women in the room looking at each other.

The squad leader stood up anxiously, and wanted to stop it again, after all, it was these two classmates who spoke disrespectfully, Xue Rin didn't turn her face and left her a lot of affection, and she didn't want to let people come back.

"Okay, everyone's gathering today is to have a good time, whoever says anything to spoil the fun, please go out automatically. The squad leader glanced at Liang Xinyue angrily, only to see that Liang Xinyue rolled his eyes unconvinced.

The others all thought it was a small episode and continued to chat lively, but Lin Qingyu didn't have the heart to continue to sit down here, she racked her brains to recall the face of the woman next to Xue Rin, she was very sure that this woman, where had she seen it.

"Qingyu, this Xue Rin is really shameless, fortunately you don't look down on him, you look at the woman next to him, how poor and sour he is, he is still like a treasure! Hmph! Really embarrassed Xue Huaiyuan! If he hadn't escaped from the shipwreck, how could he inherit the family business! Senior Gong Yan didn't know how many times stronger than him!"

Liang Xinyue's cursing was endless, but Lin Qingyu didn't have time to listen to it anymore, the shipwreck? Lin Qingyu had a hint of sneer on her lips.

It turned out to be her!

"I'll go to the bathroom. After Lin Qingyu finished speaking to Liang Xinyue, she rushed out.

----

"Xue Rin, let's just leave, isn't it okay?" Yao Zhixia followed closely behind Xue Rin, feeling a little self-reproachful in his heart.

Xue Rin's pace didn't stop at all, "If you're hungry, go back and cook me a bowl of wontons." ”

Yao Zhixia was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xue Rin's sudden ringtone on his mobile phone.

He took out his phone, looked down, and picked it up impatiently: "Are you still here?" ”

"Why did you leave so quickly? Didn't you just start? I still have half an hour to go. ”

"If I'm bored, I might as well go home and eat the ravioli my girlfriend cooked for me. Xue Rin reached out and touched Yao Zhixia's face as he spoke, dissatisfied with her still thin cheeks, it seemed that he had to take her to eat more.

"Hey, you guy just get carried away, so what should I do? Your squad leader kindly invited, and I can't help but go. ”

Yao Zhixia, who was on the side, saw that Xue Rin couldn't end the phone call for a while, so he pointed in the direction of the bathroom, Xue Rin nodded when he saw this, and let go of her hand.

"Why are you so inky! I'm going to pick up the car, hang up!"

"Hey, hey, don't hang it yet! Let me tell you, Liu Piaopiao's stinky girl really has something to hide from me, her father vouched for others, but the borrower couldn't pay the bank's money and ran away, and now his family is fulfilling the repayment obligation. ”

It turned out that Liu Piaopiao went out to work to pay off his debts. Xue Rin took out the key from his pocket and played with it in his hand.

"I used my relationship with a friend, first find out the dog that ran away, and I also found a lawyer to deal with the contract, I said that Liu Piaopiao is really a completely stupid girl, and she plans to hide this from me, thinking how great she is!"

"But are you sure she rejected you just because she didn't bother you, not because people didn't like you in the first place?" Xue Rin asked wickedly.

"Fart! She must like me! Otherwise, she wouldn't have chatted with me on WeChat, and she wouldn't have agreed to me when I asked to meet!"

"I don't know who got drunk outside when he was rejected, threw up me, and asked me to drive home!" Xue Rin couldn't help but sarcastically mock this guy who had healed his scars and forgotten the pain.

"Hey...... Aren't you in a hurry to go home and eat wontons!

Before Xue Rin could reply, the phone was hung up, he cursed angrily, and grinned helplessly. This Gong Yan, if it's really a dog, can't change eating, and I'm afraid that the sour hat of "innocence" will never be taken off.
