Chapter 227: Drinking to Kill Sorrows
Although the case that cooperated with "QG" in the end returned to Le Yao, she no longer had the excitement she had at the beginning. It's just that, after all, this case is related to the vital interests of two large companies, and Le Yao still did her best to complete it.
"Xiao Yao, congratulations!" At the celebration party, Erin came over with a wine glass to congratulate her friend.
"Thank you."
She had won a case, but the man she loved was talking to another woman......
Seeing the loneliness in her eyes, Erin followed her gaze and immediately showed a mocking smile.
"Humph! I don't know what is so good about that Qiu Yaxuan! ”
Men who are a little smarter know that they should choose a girl like Le Yao as their wife.
Le Yao looked around nervously, not wanting her friend to be beaten up because of herself.
"Maybe they just have some case to discuss?"
This sounded a bit self-defeating, and Erin looked at her friend distressedly.
"Xiao Yao, you should occasionally swear an oath of 'autonomy'."
Otherwise, I am always oppressed by a junior like this, how aggrieved!
"Bin's heart is measured."
If a man really cares about the women around him, he will take into account the other person's mood when he speaks and acts.
"But then again, why hasn't the president's wife arrived yet?"
Saying that, Erin's eyes looked at the door unconsciously, she learned from Le Yao that Yan Gui Yalan didn't like Qiu Yaxuan, as long as she came, that foxy woman wouldn't dare to be arrogant.
"Godmother, she ......"
Le Yao was about to say something, when he saw the father and son of the Yan family moving to the door at the same time, it must be Yan Gui Yalan coming, right?
Sure enough, within 5 minutes, Yan Gui Yalan, who was wearing a lilac evening dress, appeared at the door and walked in the anticipation of everyone.
"Alas! Sure enough, you can't talk about people behind your back! Erin teased herself.
Le Yao smiled, then walked over as well and grabbed Yan Bin's arm.
"Godmother, you're here!"
"I'm sorry, I'm here late because I'm dealing with the Foundation."
Compared with rich wives of the same age, Yan Gui Yalan is younger in appearance, plus she does a good job of daily maintenance and exercise, even if she stands with a woman in her early 20s, she will not lose her brilliance.
Holding her husband's arm, she smiled lightly at the guests who came forward to greet her, elegant and decent.
"Alas! If I could maintain such beauty at the age of the president's wife, I would surely wake up laughing from my dreams. Erin looked at her boyfriend standing next to her and said.
"You?" Dahua glanced at her disdainfully, "You're so lazy, I'm afraid that in less than 3 years, you'll be so fat that I won't recognize it, right?" ”
"Humph! If you think I'm fat, don't fall in love with me! ”
This stinky man! Hit her like this every time! She was so angry that her teeth itched.
Seeing that his girlfriend was angry, Dahua hurriedly slapped a smile.
"Oops! I'm just joking, are you serious? ”
"Humph! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, it shouldn't have been so easy for you to catch up in the first place! She scoffed.
Now, Dahua is really a little embarrassed.
"Yes, yes, I am grateful to God to have such a beautiful girl as you as my girlfriend!"
Sweet words have been a poison that pierces the intestines since ancient times, and even Erin, who pretends to be angry, can't stand it.
Seeing his girlfriend desperately holding back a smile, Dahua breathed a sigh of relief and went up directly to hug her shoulder.
"Okay, let's not say more, the president, they're going to give a speech."
Yan Shaolin's speech was very simple, it was nothing more than to thank all the guests for participating in this celebration banquet, and then praised Le Yao, Qiu Yaxuan and other colleagues for their help.
"What? Why do you want to thank Qiu Yaxuan for that woman? ”
Erin looked ahead dissatisfied, the woman didn't do anything, and several times the copywriting was beaten up, what is there to thank?
"Polite words in officialdom must always be said."
What's more, it's not all Qiu Yaxuan's fault that the copywriter was beaten, no wonder she has too much.
"It's really polite!" She pursed her lips and said.
Dahua looked at his girlfriend with amusement and shook his head, you know, the man on the rostrum is their big boss!
Erin didn't say anything when she saw the look he handed over, and when she looked ahead, she heard the master of ceremonies asking the Yan family and his wife to dance the opening dance.
It's a time of celebration, but there's always a shadow to lurk in a place of brilliance.
"Xiao Xuan......"
Tang Yushan looked at Qiu Yaxuan, who had been smiling, and always felt that something was wrong.
"Today's banquet is quite lively."
She picked up her wine glass, smiled at a company president, and bowed her head.
"Yes...... Oh, yes! ”
That's even more wrong! Although the company finally returned the case to Le Yao and let her hang up the responsibilities of a team leader, everyone knew that she actually failed to take over.
Faced with such a dilemma, how could she still laugh?
"I have some business, go over first, I'm out of company."
Her refusal was always so polite and generous, Tang Yushan nodded in a daze, and saw her move towards the place where the Yan family husband and wife were......
"President Yan's company is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!"
It was Qin Siqi who spoke, and today he wore a dark green striped suit with a bow tie of the same color, looking lazy and charming.
"Mr. Qin praised it falsely! Your company is truly full of talent. ”
Yan Shaolin and Qin Siqi have dealt with each other a few times, and they feel that although this person is young, he is definitely a strong competitor in time!
Right now, Gu Xiaoru, who was wearing a light green dress, was standing beside Qin Siqi, and the two of them really felt a little bit like a golden boy and a girl.
"Sister Xiaoru is really beautiful today!"
Because it wasn't work time, Le Yao called her name directly.
"Could it be that I only have the beauty of today?" She asked with a smile.
"Hee-hee! It's my gaffe, you are more beautiful today than ever! ”
Women love to listen to beautiful words, and Gu Xiaoru is no exception. Just as she was about to say a "poor mouth", an abrupt female voice intervened in their conversation.
"President, Mrs., Mr. Qin, Manager Yan, Manager Gu, hello."
Yan Gui Yalan's good mood After hearing the other party's voice, the smile on the corner of her lips immediately disappeared a little.
"It turned out to be Miss Qiu, I didn't see you just now, otherwise, I would definitely go over to say hello." Gu Xiaoru said, but a trace of defense suddenly rose in her eyes.
"What did Manager Gu say? As for the position, I should have come to you. ”
"Husband, when I came just now, the bank president's wife said that she wanted to discuss something with me, so I went to her first." Yan Gui Yalan said.
It's not a matter of a day or two that his wife and Qiu Yaxuan are not on the same page, and there are so many guests present, this is already the biggest concession that Yan Gui Yalan can make.
"Okay, eat more, don't go hungry."
Yan Gui Yalan smiled and left the scene, and then, Yan Shaolin also found a reason to stay away from the "battle situation".
"President, Mr. Wang is greeting you!"
Gu Xiaoru maintained a smile at the corner of her mouth and looked at the position at a 45-degree angle in front of Qin Siqi.
Qin Siqi could also see that Gu Xiaoru didn't want to stay with Qiu Yaxuan, so he naturally complied with her words.
"Okay, shall we go?"
He smiled lightly, it was rare for Gu Xiaoru to be so docile today, and even held his arm, even if it was just a play, his heart was already happy.
Although their departure was expected by themselves, such an attitude of leaving without hesitation still deeply stimulated Qiu Yaxuan.
"Bin, president, do they all hate me?" She asked, tearing out.
"How so?"
Mother's performance just now was indeed obvious, but the reasons they found for leaving were irrefutable.
Le Yao, who was standing beside Yan Bin, actually wanted to turn around and leave when she saw her coming, but she didn't dare to let Yan Bin and Qiu Yaxuan be alone.
"Then why did everyone leave as soon as they saw me coming?"
Her coquettish tone made Le Yao very cold, and the smile on her face collapsed a little.
"Didn't the president and Mr. Qin explain the reason just now? Could it be that Sister Xiaoxuan has lived abroad for too long, so you can't understand Chinese anymore? ”
Such a bitter ridicule shocked Qiu Yaxuan, and even Yan Bin was stunned for a moment.
"If you have something to say, it's good to say." He subconsciously wanted to speak for Qiu Yaxuan.
"Why didn't I say it properly?"
The reason that others have explained so clearly must be repeated again and again, what is it if you don't learn Chinese well?
"Jiang Leyao, even if you want to be temperamental, you have to look at the occasion!"
With so many people here today, she must quarrel with herself?
Seeing the dispute between them, Qiu Yaxuan was the happiest, but she didn't dare to show the joy in her heart, just because it was rare to see them.
"Bin, Xiao Yao, your argument like this will attract attention."
"Don't bother!" Le Yao said curiously.
"Xiao Xuan's words are right, why do you want to murder her?" Yan Bin frowned.
Is she right? Then when she was fierce to herself, why didn't she see this* come out to protect herself? Now, Le Yao has to admit that Yan Bin's protection of Qiu Yaxuan has reached an boundless level.
"It's unreasonable!"
"It's unreasonable to be this woman standing next to you!"
She is always thinking about how to take happiness away from herself! Le Yao's sad secrets.
"Xiaoxuan, let's ignore her and go over there."
If it was seen by someone who didn't know, he really thought that Yan Bin's girlfriend should be Qiu Yaxuan, not her......
The original joyful mood was instantly covered by darkness, and Le Yao's eyes also faded.
"Xiao Yao ......"
Although I don't know what kind of dispute has arisen between my friend and Yan Bin, Erin has already put all the fault on Yan Bin and Qiu Yaxuan.
"I'm fine."
Le Yao suppressed the discomfort in her heart and tried her best to hook the corners of her mouth. Looking at their departing backs, she felt more and more that she had become a foil in this relationship.
It's all sad to be like this, and it's okay?! Erin couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
With that, she took her hand.
"But what about the banquet?"
There are so many dignitaries in this celebration banquet, is it a little wrong for them to run away like this?
"Are you the protagonist of this feast?" She asked.
"What?"
Le Yao couldn't react for a while: This has little to do with whether she is the protagonist or not, right?
"If not, then what's the difference between you and not? You see, the president and the president's wife are greeting those dignitaries; And Yan Bin hugged Qiu Yaxuan around to greet him, so what difference does it make if you are not here? ”
Erin's words hit the nail on the head, stimulating Le Yao's pale face.
Oh, yes! Qiu Yaxuan occupied the position that should have belonged to her, and she was triumphant.
"Where are we going?"
She didn't like to participate in such a banquet in the first place, but now it seems that it is even more terrifying to suffocate!
"I know that there is a very famous bar in G City, and Dahua took me there not long ago."
Although the bar is also very noisy, it is the loneliness of a group of people, at least, without wearing a mask, resigned/happy.
Le Yao didn't think too much about it originally, but it wasn't until she arrived at her destination that she knew that the bar that Erin brought her to, Yan Bin and Haotian were also frequent customers.
"Ken." She smiled and greeted the bartender.
When the handsome guy who was called saw her arrival, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Yao?"
Erin also felt incredible when she saw that they knew each other.
"Are you acquaintances?"
Le Yao nodded, she is really familiar with people, that time Yan Bin was drunk here, and she ......
Thinking of the past, Le Yao's eyes became dark, almost blending with the darkness of the bar.
"Xiao Yao, Bin didn't come with you today?"
He looked behind her, and realized that it was just the two of them, which was not a safe thing in a bar.
He ...... Something. ”
Bitterly asked for a cocktail, Le Yao didn't want to recall the picture of Yan Bin and Qiu Yaxuan hugging each other before.
"Handsome, can you give me a glass of whiskey?" Erin asked with a smile as she brushed her long hair.
Ken didn't answer, just hooked the corners of his mouth slightly. He deliberately lowered the degree of the cocktail a few degrees to prevent Le Yao from getting drunk.
"Let's go home early after drinking this glass." He said in the tone of a friend.
He was surprised to learn that Yan Bin and Le Yao were in love before, because he couldn't see his feelings for Le Yao in Yan Bin's eyes at all, but now it seems that ......
"Handsome guy, don't you know that women come to bars to drink just to have fun?" Erin joked.
"I don't know about other women, but Xiao Yao is innocent and not suitable for coming here to have fun."
He genuinely cared about this girl and didn't want her to do anything he regretted.
"The handsome guy has a girlfriend?" She took a sip of her wine, digressed the subject, and asked.
Ken hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes." ”
"If your girlfriend is upset and runs to a bar for a drink and something bad happens, you say, whose responsibility is this?"
Ken frowned, "It depends." ”
"Then if a man doesn't think about this matter, but accuses his girlfriend of not loving himself, what do you think?"
That's when Ken really started paying attention to Erin.
This is a very beautiful, at the same time very shrewd and capable, and a woman with harsh words.
"So?"
He raised an eyebrow.
"A lot of things don't just look at the surface, but go to the deeper causes. It's not just you men who can use alcohol to kill their sorrows, if a woman can't find a shoulder to rely on when she is vulnerable, the only thing she can rely on is alcohol. ”
Listening to her opinion, Ken slowly gave a thumbs up.
"Incisive!"
Erin didn't speak, but took another sip of wine into her mouth.
"Beauty, dare to ask Fang's name?" Ken said with a laugh.
"Irene."
She is casual, even if she has a boyfriend, it has not changed her arrogant personality.
"Miss Erin......"
"Just call me Xiao Lin."
Still "Miss"? Don't handsome guys know that calling others "Miss" is scolding now?
"Okay, Xiaolin, do you have a boyfriend?"
Hearing this, Erin smiled, "What? Handsome guy, you want to chase me? ”
She is not a very easy woman to get along with, and it took a lot of effort for Dahua to chase her at the beginning.
"Ask casually, don't answer, you are free to choose."
He already has a girlfriend, how can he do something to split his legs? Besides, his girlfriend is a black belt in taekwondo, so he can't afford to mess with him!
"What are you talking about?"
Erin and Ken turned their heads and were surprised to see the empty goblet.
"Miss Jiang, it's easy for you to get drunk when you drink like this!"
No matter how low the degree of the cocktail is, it can't be regarded as boiled water!
"Wouldn't it be better to be drunk?"
If she is drunk, she will not think of some unhappy things, perhaps, because she is not drunk, so she can still recall the painful scenes in her mind.
"If you get drunk here, I'm afraid I'll really be scolded to death by the president."
Hearing this, Ah Ken smiled and said, "Although Xiao Yao's alcohol is not good, the wine is not bad. ”
At least not like some people get drunk and do anything out of the ordinary.
"You're a consolation in disguise?"
Erin looked at him with a smirk.
"Xiao Lin, let's go to the hotel tonight, shall we?"
Le Yao's mind was still sober, and the reason why she made this request was because she didn't know how to go back to face the Yan family.
"Staying in a hotel?" Erin thought for a moment and thought it would be fine, "Okay, let's go open the room." ”
Listening to her bold words, Ken couldn't help but cough lightly twice, and his eyes didn't forget to sweep around. Fortunately, the bar was loud enough that no one listened to her.
"What are you coughing about? Itchy throat? ”
Erin glanced at him curiously.
Well, he admitted, the other party is shrewd and capable, but sometimes she is also a rough-line woman.
"Are you sure you two are okay with going out like this?"
One is drunk and dizzy, and the other, although sober, may not be able to cope with danger.
"What could be the problem? Could it be that you are still worried that I will sell Xiao Yao? ”
Such a dead-eyed girl, even if she sells it, it is estimated that it will not be worth much, Erin secretly thought.
"Why don't I get you a car?"
Ken had already thought that he would have someone take his place for a while, and he sent the two girls to the hotel.
"Handsome guy, it seems that your relationship with Xiao Yao is really good!"
Ah Ken chuckled twice, he not only has a good relationship with Le Yao, the point is: he also has a good relationship with Yan Bin and Haotian, so he doesn't want to see Yan Bin's regretful appearance!
