Chapter 45: The Banquet Scene
On the weekend, at half past five in the evening, half an hour before the start of the celebration of the founding of the CK Group.
Mo Jiu drove to the banquet site, got out of the car, opened the car door, and took the hand of Ling Banxia, who was sitting in the co-pilot.
He wore a formal suit today, Ling Banxia looked a little unaccustomed, maybe he was too heroic and sharp, which made her feel strong pressure.
Gorgeous crystal lamps cast a faint light, and the hall was elegant and quiet. The soft saxophone music spreads like an elegant invisible smoke, and the flowers exude bursts of fragrance, which is not strong or glamorous, but it changes people's complex moods as if nothing is there.
When she walked into the hall, Ling Banxia found that many girls had their eyes on her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
They didn't know Ling Banxia, and it was precisely because they didn't know each other that they wondered why she could be by the side of this dark horse in the scientific research community and the heir cultivated by the boss of the CK Group, and they had a lot of jealousy.
She turned her head to look at Mo Jiu and said, "Hey, they're all staring at me. ”
Mo Jiu grinned and corrected her words, "No, they're staring at me." ”
"It's because you're next to me that I'm so eye-catching!"
"Hate me? Then I'll go away. Mo Jiu began to be naughty again, and as she spoke, she pulled out the hand she was holding and ran to the side.
"Don't don't don't ......" Ling Banxia hurriedly grabbed him and explained, "How can I dislike you!" It's suffering too much envy, jealousy, and hatred, and I'm a little nervous. ”
"Fool." Mo Jiu said with a chuckle.
There were many guests who came to talk to Mo Jiu, Ling Banxia didn't know them, but he was amused by Mo Jiu's smile on them, but he was afraid of losing etiquette and had to hold back.
He stiffly raised the corners of his lips on both sides, looking stiff and funny.
These guests were obviously also interested, and they sensed that Mo Jiu didn't want to talk to them, so they walked away after a few casual conversations.
Ling Banxia finally couldn't hold back, covered his mouth and smiled.
"Laugh at what laugh."
"That smile you just ......"
"Is it funny?"
"Hmm."
"I'll leave you here if you laugh again."
Ling Banxia put away his smile for a second.
Daren was still in his room on the hotel floor, and he was preparing for the banquet before it started.
A call came in, it was Jiang Xufeng.
"Uncle Daeron, why didn't you withdraw your invitation to Ling Ruhai's company?"
Dai Lun laughed and said, "You only let me remove the Wu family." ”
Jiang Xufeng suddenly didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this old man's gourd, and suddenly thought of another thing, and asked, "By the way, that kid named Geoffrey, will he go?" ”
"Of course, if you don't come, won't you allow that kid to come?"
"Then, he won't bring Xiao Xia here, right?" Jiang Xufeng was completely nervous.
"What? Worried that the little girl will run into her own father? ”
"Uncle Daeron, don't be kidding! If Ling Ruhai were to ...... to Xiao Xia"
"I gave you a chance, but you rejected me, you can only bear the consequences yourself!"
Dai Lun hung up the phone, and Jiang Xufeng collapsed on the chair.
He understood that it was Uncle Daren who was punishing him for refusing to go to this banquet, so he only refused the Wu family and did not withdraw his invitation to Ling Ruhai. He just wants the father and daughter of the Ling family to meet, so that he can be frightened, and it is best to let Xiao Xia do something, and he will be even more sorry for Yachun.
This old guy! What a devil!
Just because he didn't agree to his request, he put the safety of an innocent girl at risk.
What to do?
It seems that now we can only hope for the kid next to Xiao Xia.
Ten minutes before the banquet began, Mo Jiu took a glass of champagne for Ling Banxia to taste, she held the wine glass, took a small sip, it was very plain when she first entered, and she couldn't even taste anything, but the aroma of the wine quickly came out slowly, and her mouth was full of fragrance.
"Doesn't it taste good?"
"Hmm." Ling Banxia nodded with a smile and tasted it again.
"Ling Banxia?!" A sharp female voice sounded from behind, and Ling Banxia followed the prestige, but it was actually Ling Lianqiao who stepped on her crystal high heels and walked towards her.
"How can you be here?" Seeing her figure just now, Ling Lian Qiao couldn't believe it, how could she appear on such a high-end occasion? What is this little slut! Moreover, Yin Xiaoxiao really didn't lie to herself, Ling Banxia was much more beautiful, her figure had also improved, and with this dress, she was even more radiant.
Mo Jiu looked at Ling Lianqiao and asked, "This is your sister?" ”
Ling Lianqiao also looked at Mo Jiu in front of him, this boy is even more dazzling than in the photo, Ling Lianqiao is really angry.
Ling Banxia sneered, and didn't want to care why she was here, and said, "She's not my sister." ”
Mo Jiu also snorted disdainfully, took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." ”
"Stop!" Ling Lianqiao didn't ask clearly, so he grabbed Ling Banxia's arm and didn't let him go.
"Let go!" Mo Jiu pushed her hand away, and Ling Lianqiao pretended to fall to the ground when she saw the situation.
"Banxia, why are you pushing me?"
The movement was too loud, and there were a lot of strange glances around.
Ling Lianqiao's acting skills exploded, and there was still a little crystal oozing in his eyes, "I know you don't like me, but I'm your sister after all." My mom is my dad's original match, and it's normal for my dad to come back to her, isn't it? ”
What she meant by this was that Ling Banxia's mother was a junior who robbed someone else's husband, and Ling Banxia was a vicious sister.
"I warn you, don't chew your tongue here!"
While Ling Banxia was angry, he was surprised to find that the "cold-faced Yama" had appeared again.
Again, as long as he mentions his mother, Mo Jiu will be more excited than himself.
Ling Lianqiao was a little frightened by him, and he was stunned on the ground and forgot about it until Ling Ruhai came over.
"Why are you on the ground, get up!" He reached for his daughter to pick up.
When Ling Lianqiao saw his father coming, tears fell as soon as he said it, hugged him into his arms, and shouted as if he had been wronged: "Dad......"
When Ling Ruhai saw Ling Banxia opposite, he forgot about Ling Lianqiao for a while, in fact, he was only so ruthless when he was angry. Time flies quickly, he hasn't seen this daughter for almost two months, and he has to admit that he really misses her.
Because Ling Banxia was his biological daughter after all, and it was his and Fang Yachun's daughter......
"You, how are you doing these days?" When Ling Ruhai asked this, he couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Ling Banxia turned her face away and didn't look at him, she didn't think about this so-called father at all, not at all.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I'm not dead." Ling Banxia said coldly.
Ling Lianqiao saw that his father's attitude towards Ling Banxia had actually changed, and he couldn't help but feel threatened, and hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and said, "Dad, sister, she seems to be still angry with me, but Zefeng really likes me, and I never thought of snatching you from her." You can help me talk to her. ”
Ling Banxia didn't want to see this disgusting scene, and he didn't want to see these two people, so he had already left with Mo Jiu.
"Okay, if you have time to talk this nonsense to me here, you might as well go find a rich boy and have a good chat. At least do something that satisfies your grandfather! Otherwise, you don't want him to let you come to such a banquet like this one in the future! ”
Ling Lianqiao thought that her father would comfort her and would catch up and scold Ling Banxia, but she didn't expect that she would be disciplined herself.
Did Ling Banxia actually take away his father's heart now? Could it be that as my grandfather said, Dad's heart has never been on Fang Yachun? So he wouldn't really be angry with Ling Banxia?
Hasn't Dad forgotten who helped him today in his company?
Mo Jiu was talking with a few entrepreneurs, both of them spoke fluent English, Ling Banxia obediently stayed aside, and found that he could almost understand, it seems that his English level has improved, and the last few American dramas and oral exercises have not been in vain.
Because there was nothing to do on the side, Ling Banxia's eyes were looking around, and he unexpectedly saw a familiar figure, wasn't that Yin Xiaoxiao's ugly boyfriend? The girl next to her looks like a rich daughter! Ling Banxia felt a little familiar, as if it was ...... It's the internationally renowned movie star Gu Yingxuan.
No wonder Yin Xiaoxiao came to flatter herself that day! It turned out that he was dumped by this guy. As early as Ling Banxia expected, that Tang Yingyuan, like Qin Zefeng, was an irresponsible and merciless son.
The banquet officially began, and the guests were seated.
As the heir specially cultivated by Dai Lun, the boss of the group, Mo Jiu's position was at the front, and of course Ling Banxia also sat at the front, next to his position.
"I'm going up up and talking, and I'm here for my return." Mo Jiu said after bringing her to her position.
The people sitting next to him were all people they didn't know, and there were a few young girls dressed noblely, although Ling Banxia's confidence had greatly improved, but in the face of all this, he still felt ashamed of himself. And without him by his side, Ling Banxia's heart was even more nervous, his ten fingers were crossed and clasped together, and his palms were sweating.
The French conductor elegantly waved his baton and the orchestra played a new movement.
There were people sitting around who didn't know, and there were a few young and beautiful girls dressed noblely, and among them, Ling Banxia still felt ashamed of himself. And without him by his side, Ling Banxia's heart was even more nervous, his ten fingers were crossed and clasped together, and his palms were sweating.
The French conductor elegantly waved his baton and the orchestra played a new movement.
On the stage, Grandpa Dai Lun and Mo Jiu were normal, but the woman beside him made Ling Banxia distracted.
Her brown slightly curly hair fell out, and her delicate mixed-race face was covered with nude makeup, bringing her beauty and temperament to an extreme. Dressed in a flowing and neat black doppelganger skirt, she still gives people a cold, noble, mysterious and elegant feeling, not at all like a delicate princess, but a proud queen. Ling Banxia even had the feeling of seeing a domineering female president.
She can be so beautiful!
