Chapter 50: Difficulties at the Banquet
On the third floor of the banquet hall, a group of social elites from wealthy families gathered here in suits and leather shoes, and with the soothing music echoing in the banquet hall, a couple of men and women were moving leisurely.
"Miss Liu, can I ask you to do a dance?"
A personable young man wearing a top-level private custom "kiton" came to Liu Ruoyi's side and bowed slightly.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to be with my fiancé. ”
Liu Ruoyi, who had a cold temperament, said with a flat face, but she didn't realize what kind of impact her words would cause!
The young man's face was stunned, but he was not annoyed by the rejection, but smiled at Xu Zhiheng after a little look, and slowly turned away, but his smile was slightly meaningful.
"Tsk, but I don't know, when did we get so close?"
Xu Zhiheng grabbed Liu Ruoyi's slender waist, ignoring the increasingly heavy frost on her face, and whispered softly in her ear.
Liu Ruoyi, who was embraced by Xu Zhiheng, did not have any obvious reaction, and even the expression on her face was still unwavering, but her body suddenly stiffened, and then she explained with a slight stiffness,
"The Liu family still has some energy in Yanjing, and this identity can help you better deal with these people and find out Chu Zixiu's whereabouts. ”
"Tsk, I'm afraid it won't be like this, right?"
Xu Zhiheng's right index finger slightly curled up a strand of hair behind Liu Ruoyi, and his face was frivolous.
Feeling that the man beside him who did not have a trace of warmth in his language was already slightly dissatisfied, Liu Ruoyi was slightly silent, and then continued,
"I need a substantial presence to keep some flies at bay. ”
"Not as an example. ”
The cold index finger rubbed slightly on Liu Ruoyi's warm neck, and when Liu Ruoyi's body trembled slightly, he heard Xu Zhiheng's words that he had returned to his normal temperature.
"Hmm. ”
Bowing her head slightly, Liu Ruoyi also sighed slightly in her heart.
She has a cold personality and doesn't like parties, and she doesn't want to be entangled by those young people who claim to be talented and rich. However, as the eldest daughter of the Liu family, she had to participate in many gatherings with a special nature.
This time, she brought Xu Zhiheng over, and her original intention was to let those people retreat, and not to provoke her again in the future. It's just that she categorically didn't expect Xu Zhiheng to be so sensitive, and she saw through her thoughts in a few words, so she had to tell the truth.
"The wine was not bad. ”
Xu Zhiheng, who took a sip of red wine, admired slightly, with a warm and elegant smile on his face, completely without the coldness and impersonal affection when he spoke to Liu Ruoyi before.
"The banquet has been going on for a while, and after this dance music is over, we will start the free exchange session, and then we can try to find out some news about Chu Zixiu. ”
Liu Ruoyi spoke, and Xu Zhiheng also nodded slightly.
Chu Zixiu's disappearance is obviously the existence of hands and eyes that have erased the traces. And today's banquet can be said to have gathered most of Yanjing's top celebrities, and I think I should be able to gain one or two.
"Wow!"
However, the dance music was about to end, and when the two of them were about to get up, they suddenly saw a beam of light suddenly hit Xu Zhiheng's body, and there was a round of applause around him!
"Are you sure this Xu Zhiheng doesn't understand music theory?"
On the other side of the banquet, several people sat on a sofa with a glass of champagne each, and the young man sitting in the middle asked.
"Yes, Xu Shao, don't worry, we have checked, this kid is just a toad in Lanjiang City, and he has no experience in touching musical instruments in the file!"
"Heh, if it weren't for Yang Jiu coming before, I really wouldn't have noticed that she Liu Ruoyi actually came to bring a "fiancé" to the banquet this time, I want to see how he is so ugly!"
Several people are obviously quite powerful, and Xu Zhiheng was checked clearly in the time of a dance music, but what they could find was the tip of the iceberg after all.
On the other side, Xu Zhiheng, who was hit by the light, squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Liu Ruoyi who was sitting next to him.
"Oh no, forgot there's this part. ”
At all the top banquets in Yanjing, there is a rule after the dance music, that is, the lantern beam randomly selects a person, and the selected person needs to play a song to call the curtain call for the dance music.
Everyone is the child of a wealthy family, and music is naturally a compulsory course, the difference is only the difficulty of playing music. And those who can play a song will naturally win a full house, and if they can't play it, they will naturally have no shame to participate in a similar banquet next time.
Seeing that Xu Zhiheng did not react under the light, there was a faint noise of discussion around him.
"Do you know how to play the piano?"
Liu Ruoyi frowned slightly, looked at Xu Zhiheng and said, seeing that Xu Zhiheng only looked at her and didn't speak, but sighed slightly in her heart.
"Yes, if you can be so successful in medical skills, where can you have time to learn musical instruments......"
Thinking of this, Liu Ruoyi's eyes were certain, but she was ready to play directly for Xu Zhiheng, although it was impossible to say that Xu Zhiheng would be looked down upon by everyone, but it was better than Xu Zhiheng not being able to get off the stage now.
The light was still on Xu Zhiheng, but he was facing the light sideways, so half of his face was in the light, and his face was generally in the dark, but everyone couldn't see his face clearly.
However, seeing Liu Ruoyi, who was originally standing beside him, walking towards the piano table, the crowd who roughly guessed Liu Ruoyi's thoughts instantly sounded a burst of understanding and discussion.
"Haha, who is that kid? You can't even play the piano, right? Where did you come from?"
"It looks like Liu Ruoyi brought it...... It's the good cabbage that makes the pig arch!"
"Look at your sour taste, tsk, I heard that this kid is still the fiancé of Liu Da Beauty. ”
"Fiancé, Xu Shaoke is here today, but he has always regarded Miss Liu as a forbidden person......
There was a lot of discussion around, but Liu Ruoyi turned a deaf ear and walked straight towards the piano table, but she also regretted it slightly in her heart.
"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have brought him here......"
She had good intentions, she felt that Xu Zhiheng knew Chu Zixiu better, and hoped that Xu Zhiheng could detect the clues about Chu Zixiu, but she never expected that the ending song would fall on Xu Zhiheng's head!
Now, she only hopes that she won't anger Xu Zhiheng too much because of this incident. After all, Xu Zhiheng is her grandfather's life-saving benefactor, and she is always grateful and unwilling to do evil.
was full of worries in her heart, but Liu Ruoyi did not stagnate in action, and sat directly in front of the piano table. And just as she adjusted the scale slightly and was about to start, a big hand suddenly stretched out behind her, covering her hand,
"When did I say I couldn't play the piano?"
"Why don't you play a song together?"
