As long as you have lived in the imperial capital, you know that the traffic jam in the imperial capital is a major feature. We drove from the Oriental Plaza on Chang'an Avenue to a villa area behind the Haidian Summer Palace, less than 20 kilometers away.

By the time we arrived, it was completely dark.

This is a villa made in the style of Chinese royal architecture, each with a large courtyard full of flowers and plants, and a pond.

The landscape lights have been turned on, and there are already many people in the courtyard.

The long dining table is covered with a snow-white silk tablecloth with delicate pink rose glasses, champagne is set up in the center of the wine table, and a delicate swan carved out of ice is placed on a plate.

The waiters were neatly dressed and walked through the crowd with plates.

As long as you want, you can raise your hand and get the drink or drink you want.

As soon as I took He Liancheng's arm and entered the courtyard, I felt that many eyes fell on me, and occasionally I heard someone ask in surprise: "When did He Liancheng change his female companion?" ”

"I don't know."

"It's not worse than Xue Ming, it's more mature in temperament......"

"I don't know what my family background is......"

…… I heard these whispered discussions, and turned my head slightly to look at He Liancheng.

He is 1.85 meters tall, and he is only 1.65 meters tall, so I have to look up some heads from this angle.

Even with nine-inch heels on my feet, I'm still a little shorter than him.

He smiled at me and turned his gaze to the group.

At this time, a handsome mixed-race guy came to us with a wine glass, raised his glass to He Liancheng and smiled: "Why is it too late, this is a new female companion?" ”

He Liancheng greeted him with a smile and introduced him: "My girlfriend, Lin Leyi." ”

Then he turned back to me and said, "This is Peng Jiade." ”

I nodded and smiled at the man, stretched out my right hand and handed it out, saying, "Hello, Mr. Peng." ”

"Miss Lin, you're so beautiful."

Peng Jiade shook my hand and said.

"Thank you."

He Liancheng thanked me for me and took me to continue walking inside.

After entering the main hall of the three-story villa, I learned what it means to call the rich people's dinner.

Compared to this one, the one I attended a few years ago was pediatrics, and this is the real big show.

The red cashmere carpet was spread on the floor, and every step was soft and footless, and it would not make a sound when walking on it.

The people who came to the banquet were dressed in luxurious formal attire and greeted each other politely.

Every man is surrounded by one or two radiant women.

Each one is noble and elegant, with outstanding temperament.

He Biancheng and I entered the main hall, and when I saw that all the eyes of the audience were focused on us, I asked in a low voice, "The atmosphere is a little wrong today, I don't seem to be the most beautiful woman in the audience." ”

"Wait a minute, you just have to be prettier than the guy on the stage."

He Liancheng looked around defiantly with a smile on his face.

Those evasive or bold eyes quickly turned their eyes away after they came into contact with He Liancheng's gaze.

He Liancheng affectionately put his arms around my waist and walked inside with me.

At this time, a few more people came up and looked at He Liancheng with a strange look, and the words in their mouths also carried a few people with pity.

I didn't know, I just thought the atmosphere was weird.

He Liancheng didn't say anything to explain, so I had to learn from him to talk to everyone with a detached smile on his face.

Finally we sat down on the couch near the dance floor, and a white grand piano was on the bandstand not far away, and a girl was playing soothing music.

Twenty minutes later, down the stairs was a man in his forties in a black suit.

The visitors all stood up when they saw him appear.

He walked down the stairs, looked around in the spring breeze, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for coming to my daughter's engagement dinner." ”
