Chapter 30: Chaos at the Drinking Party
The cocktail party was arranged by Huo Jingtong, and over the years, as the wife of the Cheng family, she has not pulled down at all in the social world.
What's more, this is a matter for the Huo family to raise their eyebrows, and she naturally vigorously manages it, and almost invites all the business and political celebrities - except for Zeng Shijie's Mingde Group, of course.
After Huang Ruirui knew the scale, she only had to talk to her, and Huo Jingtong really spared no effort this time.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Huo Jingwei drove over on time to pick up Huang Ruirui.
Looking at Huang Ruirui standing in front of him, Huo Jingwei said heartily: "It's beautiful." ”
"You're handsome too." Huang Ruirui replied with a smile.
"This is the legendary male and female appearance?" Huo Jingwei asked with a smile.
"I'm just talking about the scene, please don't open a dye shop with three colors, thank you." Huang Ruirui replied with a smile.
Huo Jingwei, as the protagonist of tonight, of course had to arrive early to greet the guests.
Huo Jingtong, Huo Jingfeng and others have also done makeup and dressed up a long time ago, and they want to change the decay of the Huo family in the past, and their respective dresses are impeccable.
Even Yang Shuqin appeared at the cocktail party wearing a splendid cheongsam and a shawl with flowers and wealth.
I have to say that Huo Jingwei's strong move this time made all the people of the Huo family see hope, and those three relatives and six relatives also began to take refuge in it, all dressed up to join in this excitement.
Watching Huang Ruirui gently holding Huo Jingwei's hand, a black bandeau and long evening dress lined her figure with a concave and convex shape, and a pearl necklace was worn on her smooth neck, each one was the size of a thumb, with uniform thickness and smooth color, which made her face shine more and more. In particular, there is a huge pearl pinned to the high French flower bun, and the whole outfit is simple and noble.
Huo Jingwei next to him is also wearing a matching black handmade suit, and the whole person is as low-key, calm and introverted as ever, with no extra decorations for embellishment.
"Jingwei, Ruirui." Huo Jingtong took the lead and walked over and greeted the two.
"Hello." Huang Ruirui replied politely.
"When you come, just greet the guests yourself, and I'll take a look at other places." Huo Jingtong said this, and he had already moved lightly to the food buffet area to check the preparation of tonight's drinks.
Huang Ruirui accompanied Huo Jingwei and greeted the people who came earlier.
met Huo Jingfeng, this was the most hostile person in the Huo family to her except for Huo Wensheng, but fortunately, Huo Jingfeng only nodded in embarrassment, even if it was a greeting, he had nothing to say.
After turning around, Huang Ruirui breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, in such a scene, everyone was afraid of their faces, and it was impossible to say too hurtful words.
As time went by, more and more celebrities from all walks of life came, and Huang Ruirui and Huo Jingwei stood at the door, greeting the guests one by one with a smile.
After standing in high heels for a long time, Huang Ruirui still took the time to find a back corner and sat down to rest, but the words of the whispered conversation not far away still reached her ears, vaguely, still containing her Huang Ruirui's name.
"Do you think that the woman standing next to Huo Jingwei is the woman who Huo Jingwei made a breakup statement in the newspaper back then."
"It's her, I'm also wondering, the adultery back then was known all over the city, Huo Jingwei broke up with her, I didn't expect that now I am still with Huo Jingwei."
"It's not clear about this, she suddenly disappeared back then, and Huo Jingwei also disappeared, I thought that the two of them had no face to see people, but they came back and made such a big deal."
"Shhh, it's better to say less, I don't know what's going on behind this, it's not that the Huo family is broken, and the group has been swallowed up, but Huo Jingwei actually took it back as soon as he made a move, who knows if it's a trick, or it's better to say less."
Then the two men muttered and walked away.
Huang Ruirui sat there and smiled helplessly, really in this world, rumors are the best weapon to kill people, after so many years, everyone still remembers the little bad things back then.
If you really stand with Huo Jingwei, everyone will remember those things.
Huo Jingwei politely entertained in the crowd, and everyone unanimously respected him and worked hard.
The current identity is not the same as the prince of the Huo Family Vision Group in the past.
In the past, even as the president of Envision Group, everyone only thought that President Huo Lao was not in good health, and this Huo Jingwei was the son inheriting his father's business, which was normal.
But now, he is the founder of the well-known Hongjing Capital, and the capital operates so many companies, and the companies targeted by his capital are basically fate in his hands.
This kind of self-made business and climbing to the top of the mountain is by no means comparable to taking over a vision group.
Everyone really knew Huo Jingwei's abilities and methods, and they were all desperately stuttering.
Finally getting rid of everyone's entanglement, Huo Jingwei found Huang Ruirui in the corner of the back: "Why are you sitting here." ”
"I'm just tired." Huang Ruirui chuckled and reached out to gesture for the high heels under her feet.
Looking at such high-heeled shoes, Huo Jingwei looked uncomfortable, not to mention that he had to stand for such a long time, he said with concern: "Or, I'll help you go to the lounge to sit and change to a pair of cotton slippers?" ”
"But it's not very good that we're both gone." Huang Ruirui smiled and said, "Remember, you are the protagonist tonight, and if the protagonist is not at the reception, it will cause criticism." ”
"I'm just your man, take care of you." Huo Jingwei replied, insisted on sending Huang Ruirui to the lounge upstairs for rest, and found a pair of cotton slippers for her to change.
Huang Ruirui half-leaned on the sofa and freed her feet from the high heels, and then, she still pushed Huo Jingwei and said, "Okay, you go downstairs, I'll rest here for a while and go down." ”
Huo Jingwei went downstairs at this time.
Huang Ruirui rested on the sofa for more than ten minutes, it was always bad to be too absent, and agreed to Huo Jingwei to be his female companion, of course, he had to fulfill his duties.
She rubbed her feet before she changed into her high heels and prepared to go downstairs.
It's just that this place is unfamiliar, and when he came, Huo Jingwei helped him up, but he turned around, but he found the wrong direction.
But unexpectedly, she noticed that something was wrong, and it was clear that someone seemed to be dragged into the corridor.
This is the rest area, I am about to rest, I should go into the lounge, how to enter the corridor?
Huang Ruirui chased after her.
Turning around the fire staircase, only the fire light sign glows green.
"Who is it?" Huang Ruirui asked coldly.
But around the corner, a man was carrying a petite body, trying to run down, usually this kind of fire escape, unless there is a fire or something, very few people pass guò.
Seeing that it was just a woman chasing after him, the man relieved himself: "Oh, she's just a little drunk." I took her to rest. ”
Of course, it was impossible for Huang Ruirui to believe this, she took a few steps down the stairs and said, "Who are you?" ”
As the words fell, a person had already sprang out from behind her and rushed towards her.
said that it was too late, it was fast, Huang Ruirui held on to the staircase railing with one hand, and then turned around to avoid this pounce, and the black shadow fell into the air with a pounce, and the whole person was almost planted.
The man reacted quickly enough, stretched out his palm to support the wall, and then pulled out a jumping knife and gestured to Huang Ruirui: "If it's okay, get out of the way, it's not good to save you a few cuts in the face." ”
Huang Ruirui snorted coldly and smiled contemptuously, but then she opened her throat and shouted: "Someone...... coming"
No matter what the purpose of these people is, they must be restrained quickly.
The two men didn't expect this woman to be so bold, she was not afraid of the threat, and she dared to shout loudly, if she was another woman, wouldn't she have been scared soft?
Seeing that the threat was useless, the man cursed in a low voice, and stabbed Huang Ruirui with a knife.
Huo Jingwei was socializing downstairs, and Huang Ruirui, who was still a little relieved not to go downstairs to rest, was about to find an excuse to walk away, but saw Huo Jingfeng coming over: "Jingwei, did you see Yaoyao, she said she came to you." ”
"Oh, I've been entertaining guests here, and I haven't seen Yaoyao coming." Huo Jingwei replied.
"Then I'll look for it again." Huo Jingfeng was about to walk away, but he saw a waiter-like person rushing in and shouting: "Oh no, it's a murderer......"
At this shout, everyone who was still staggered and talking and laughing was shocked, and those female dependents screamed in unison, their faces turned white with fright, and they actually killed someone?
There was some confusion in the hall for a while, and the women were carrying their skirts, each looking for their male companions, trying to seek protection, and the men were also standing together with forced composure.
"What's going on?" Huo Jingwei stepped forward and grabbed the waiter's hand and forced him to calm down.
"Pain, pain...... waiter screamed a few times before he calmed down: "Someone upstairs was killed, and there was a big pool of blood...... ...... at the fire escape entrance"
Huo Jingwei listened upstairs, and his first reaction was Huang Ruirui, and then he rushed upstairs, and then the middle-aged men who came to the banquet also spontaneously followed, and a group of people ran upstairs.
On the fire escape, there was a mess after the fight, there were three figures hiding on the ground, and there was one shrinking in the corner, in the green light of the screen, revealing a little terror.
It is not difficult to see that there are still large traces of blood oozing under the body of one of them.
"Rui Rui ......" Huo Jingwei screamed heartbreakingly, he had already seen who the figure lying in the pool of blood was, the pearls scattered all over the place, under the fire indicator light, against the dark green pearl light, only the big pearl on the top of the head in the bun was still firmly pinned in the hair, needless to say, this is Huang Ruirui.
"Call an ambulance."
"Quick Alarm ......"
For a while, everyone called the police, called the ambulance, called the ambulance, and made a pot of porridge.
And Huo Jingfeng also caught up, she searched all the below, but she didn't find Zeng Yaoyao, heard about the above, and hurried over.
When she pushed away the group of men in front of her, she only saw the small figure curled up in the corner, shouted "Yaoyao", and actually fainted.
