Chapter 41: Cold Hostility
Bei Xiaorou, who had been silent, was attracted by the food on the long table, and her stomach, which had not eaten all afternoon, made a soft sound at the right time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 She blushed slightly, reached out and covered her belly lightly, and glanced up at the man beside her.
As soon as he lowered his head, he saw her longing gaze, Lei Ziqian's dark eyes were slightly soft, and his always majestic and handsome face raised a doting smile, and said in a low voice: "Let's go eat something first." ”
As he spoke, he took her hand, walked directly past Shen Mushi without hesitation, and walked towards the buffet table not far away.
Shen Mushi, who was stunned by the gentle and protective look on his face, suddenly stiffened after being shocked, pursed his lips, his eyes full of jealousy and hostility, glared angrily at the woman beside him, and his hands were clenched into fists.
Several people gathered around her at this time, and the deliberate greetings woke her mind. Temporarily restraining his mind, he immediately raised a decent and bright smile on his face, and turned around to socialize.
Finally dealt with those who wanted to pass her and climb up to Lei Ziqian, Shen Mushi held a wine glass in her hand, standing in the corner of the banquet, her eyes searching for Lei Ziqian's figure everywhere. I saw him walk out of the balcony, his eyes lit up slightly, and he was about to step forward, but he saw the man walking towards the corridor on the other side.
She stopped, her eyes moved slightly, she turned her head to look at the balcony, and after thinking for a moment, the corners of her lips hooked coldly, and she walked over.
As soon as she disappeared from the balcony, a man walked in the doorway.
Zhuo Yuanhang, who was dressed in a white suit, had a more elegant and noble temperament, with a lazy smile on his handsome face and eyes as bright as stars, walking in slowly, attracting everyone's attention.
Zhuo Yuanhang, who had never participated in these banquets before, had to start getting involved in this kind of occasion because he had promised to return to the group to help. Because he rarely showed up, no one knew that he was the third son of Zhuoyang Group, so people were only curious about him from afar, and did not come forward to talk.
Zhuo Yuanhang was also happy, looked around, took a glass of red wine from the waiter's tray casually, walked to the corner of the banquet, searched for today's protagonist with his eyes, and planned to say hello casually and find an excuse to leave.
Two exquisitely dressed women walked up to each other at this time, with a little shyness in their carefully decorated eyebrows and eyes, and stepped forward to greet him. Zhuo Yuanhang raised his wine glass, although he had a smile on his face, there was a bored Yixing in the depths of his eyes, and he sent them away in three or two sentences.
If it was before, he would not have been so rude, but since he met Pei Xiaorou, other women have become unattractive to him.
With a touch of gloom in the depths of his eyes, he pursed his lips, feeling that the air in the banquet was a little suffocating, turned his head to look around, and finally walked towards the secluded balcony on the side.
In the balcony, the warm yellow light poured light, Pei Xiaorou sat quietly on the chair, her hands on her cheeks, looking sideways at the night scene outside the railing, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were sweet smiles.
Shen Mushi, who pushed the door and walked in, looked at her coldly, her bright face was tense, and she walked directly towards her with disdain and mockery in her eyes.
The soft sound of high heels came into her ears, and Bei Xiaorou turned her head to look, then a light smile appeared on her face, and she stood up, "Hello, that, congratulations on the opening of your law firm." ”
On the way here, Lei Ziqian roughly talked about the reason for going to the banquet. At this time, looking at the glamorous woman in front of him, a trace of admiration arose in his heart.
Shen Mushi pursed her lips and was silent, with a cold face, her eyes as sharp as a knife. She stood in front of Bei Xiaorou, half a head taller than her, her eyes looking down at her, and there was undisguised hostility in her eyes.
Bei Xiaorou was slightly stunned, and there was confusion in her eyes, not understanding where her hostility came from. The atmosphere was a little condensed for a while, she clasped her hands lightly, and felt that she should say something to break the silence, so she pursed her lips, "Ziqian will be back in a while." ”
Squinting lightly, Shen Mushi's face was as cold as frost, her bright red lips opened lightly, and her tone was sharp and sarcastic, "If you want to have a family background or not, if you have no ability, you can't help Ziqian's career at all, you don't deserve him!" ”
The little face that was originally smiling suddenly turned white, and there was a hint of hesitation in the shocked eyes, Bei Xiaorou looked at the woman standing opposite, looking down at her coldly like a queen, her eyes were slightly dark.
A gust of night breeze blew through her skin, she couldn't help but shiver, only to feel that the air was a little suffocated, and subconsciously wanted to leave, and walked forward.
A cold light flashed in Shen Mushi's eyes, and she reached out to grab her, but accidentally rubbed her shoulder. Pei Xiaorou, who was walking on the side of the steps, fell to the side suddenly, stepped on the air, and stretched out her hands in the air, trying to grab the support.
Shen Mushi was slightly stunned, and when she was about to touch her hand, her eyes moved slightly, she took a step back, and coldly watched her fall down the steps in embarrassment.
A trace of astonishment flashed in Bei Xiaorou's eyes, but fortunately, she climbed the railing on one side in time, so she didn't sprain her foot.
The bright and bright lights in the banquet shone obliquely through the glass door of the balcony, and Pei Xiaorou grabbed the railing with one hand, propped herself on the ground with the other, tilted her head and bit her lip, looking at Shen Mushi who was looking down at her with cold eyes.
Zhuo Yuanhang, who walked to the door of the balcony, saw a familiar slender figure through the door, and his eyes suddenly burst out with a bright light. His eyes stared at the delicate face that had been decorated for a moment, and under the warm yellow light, it became more and more delicate and bright, attracting his attention, the light under his eyes surged, and the corners of his lips hooked.
The amazement in her eyes didn't have time to fade, and the next moment she fell to the ground suddenly, and Shen Mushi's deliberate dodge, the smile on her face faded suddenly.
He pushed open the balcony door with a cold face, walked quickly towards Bei Xiaorou who had fallen, reached out and wrapped his arms around her shoulders to help her up, his black eyes anxiously looked up and down, "How is it?" Did you get hurt somewhere? ”
Seeing that it was him, Bei Xiaorou was very surprised, and after standing still, she shook her head gently.
Seeing that she was indeed fine, the worry in Zhuo Yuanhang's eyes slowly faded, and then his eyes turned cold, and he turned his head to look at Shen Mushi who was standing aside.
I didn't expect him to appear suddenly, Shen Mushi's eyes were stunned, and the next moment she quickly calmed down, a smile appeared on her face, and before she could speak, the man stiffened his face and asked coldly: "Shen Mushi, you could hold her just now, why did you deliberately avoid it?" ”
Shen Mushi's eyes moved slightly, but she chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Zhuo, I didn't dodge, I really didn't have time to hold on." ”
As soon as the words fell, the balcony door was suddenly pushed open, and Lei Ziqian, who walked in, suddenly turned cold in his black eyes when he saw the man holding Bei Xiaorou. Then he strode over, stretched out his hand to pull Bei Xiaorou away and hugged him, and his sharp gaze shot straight at Zhuo Yuanhang.
The familiar breath spread into her nose, Bei Xiaorou looked sideways at his cold and handsome face, remembering Shen Mushi's words just now, her heart tightened slightly.
