Chapter 156: High Society
Needless to say, the grade of the reception can be seen from the guest list alone.
When He Chong was late, there was a lot of commotion at the scene, especially those noble ladies and celebrities, who turned their heads and ears one after another.
"Look, Ao Gu Shao is here, so handsome."
"Who is the woman next to him, I don't seem to have seen it, do you know it?"
"The girl who climbed the high branches this year has grown faster than the spring bamboo shoots, and yesterday she may have been a student at some pheasant university, but today she can become a wealthy princess, where can she recognize her."
"Today's girls have more means than we did then, biting one and not letting go, and not letting go when they reach one. It's done, eat and drink spicy food for a lifetime, if it doesn't work, at least you can get a house and earn a car, how can it be cost-effective. β
"Who's to say it's not, it's a profitable deal. Hey, but that woman is not stunning, why did she fascinate Young Master He. β
"If you eat a lot of seafood, you want to try wild meat......
"Shhhh
Chiba glanced at it, convinced that the group of people were judging herself, and there were words of envy and slander and ridicule, and she was prepared in her heart to disagree. When a woman becomes the target of-for-tat from other women, in a way, she succeeds.
But this kind of flashy extravagance, drunken and gold-obsessed occasions did make her feel uncomfortable.
"I still shouldn't have come with you, I feel nervous about such a big scene." She whispered to He Chong.
He Chong smiled proudly and patted her on the back: "What kind of big scene is this, it will be ten times bigger than this on your birthday in the future." You are my woman now, get used to these occasions. Come, lift up your head and look at them with your nostrils, as I did. β
As he spoke, he raised his chin and demonstrated, and Chiba followed suit.
Maybe it was too exaggerated and funny, and she wanted to laugh a little, so she bumped him with her elbow in disgust.
After He Chong led her to meet the owner of the drinking party, he no longer talked to people, but chose a place that was not eye-catching, and chatted with her as if no one was around, and after a while, he saw a bright and moving beauty, and his eyes lit up.
"Sister!" He called out to Hoina, leaving Chiba two or three steps forward.
He Yina looked back with a little surprise, but quickly lifted half of her face and smiled awkwardly.
"It's a coincidence that you're here too." She looked at Chiba and didn't recognize it, so she asked casually, "You also brought a female companion, you just met?" β
He Chong touched his head shyly: "Don't you remember, it's Chiba." β
Hoina's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Oh, yes, it's Chiba, it's pretty good to dress up, right...... Are you dating? β
"That's right."
Chiba also saw her, and the two nodded to each other.
He Chong said again: "Sister, I haven't seen you for some days, I always say that I am not available, you ...... Are you avoiding me? β
He Yina looked at him noncommittally.
"Everyone is busy, and it is the age to do things, so arrange as little entertainment as possible."
"What are you talking about, is it a meeting between the two of us? You must still be angry with your dad and don't go back to see him. β
He Yina shook the champagne in her hand, looking a little hesitant.
"Go and accompany Yang Qianye, I have a customer over there, go over and say hello first."
"Sister......" He Chong grabbed her, his eyes were full of reluctance, "No matter how much my parents quarrel, I am a sister and brother with you, don't be separated, what do you say?" Dad's ideas are really extreme, and Mom is unconvinced, each with its own mistakes and its own reasons. After a while, when they were angry and stopped making trouble, I went to tell my dad and asked him to return Ogu to you. To be honest, I'm really not interested in managing the company, and my ability is not as good as yours. β
He Yina gave him an obscure smile and said indifferently, "Ogu...... Heh, I forgot what I did there. Now my own company is developing very well, and the business scope is gradually expanding, maybe in the future it will be no worse than Ogu. You have to be careful, I am your fierce rival in the business field, don't take it lightly and let me rob you of your bread. β
"Don't be angry, go back and see Dad when you have time, he misses you very much."
"What are you going to do back and pretend to be pathetic? I don't want to be looked down upon by anyone, and it's not that I don't have the ability to survive. She was a little displeased, and pulled her arm out of He Chong's hand, "I won't tell you, I'll go first." β
Looking at his sister's back without looking back, and then remembering the scene when she left home that day, He Chong felt melancholy.
He stumbled back to Chiba, like a ball that had been punctured with air.
"You don't seem to know that Sister Ina is coming?"
Witnessing the standing posture and expressions of the siblings with a sense of distance, Chiba was curious.
He Chong shook his head helplessly: "My father and mother have been arguing, and my sister and I have become victims." She moved out and started her own company again, and we haven't seen each other in a long time. You can also see, she didn't have this attitude towards me, I know she wasn't rushing at me, it was my dad who hurt her. Hey, sometimes I feel aggrieved, I don't want to be a president at all, so I have to be roasted on the fire. My sister is called a real skill, and if it wasn't for her assistance a few years ago, Agu would not have today's results. β
"Shouldn't I inquire about your family?"
"Why, I still hope that someone will listen to my grievances. You have seen the character of my father and mother, two paranoid people will not let anyone, and it is very difficult for me and my sister to be caught in the middle. She is still willing to talk to me perfunctory, and my mother has completely turned against me. Hey, after all, it's a layer of belly. He shook his head helplessly and sighed repeatedly.
"I can't blame you, the parents are too strong, and the company can't leave it alone, and when Sister Ina figures it out, she won't make a face at you. I admire her very much, and I believe she won't get into the horns. Chiba grabbed his hand, and He Chong held it tightly in turn.
"Chiba, thanks to you for showing up when I was most helpless, otherwise I might have been devastated by these things at home. Promise me, the two of us will be fine, and if there is anything to say to the face, we will not fight a belly lawsuit. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll let you do everything, I don't care about money, fame, or profit, as long as you're by my side. β
She didn't answer, smiling back. She thought about acting too simply, and when she actually started acting, some lines couldn't be said at all.
He Chong couldn't help but kiss her on the forehead, and she also pinched the left side of his face.
In the face of this fiery and sincere man, she felt quite ashamed. Deception had been her most hateful, but now she was a liar, and she hated herself.
Under the pretext of convenience, she hid in the bathroom and smoked a cigarette in the cubicle.
It is true that smoke is a good thing and can calm people. She spat out smoke from the spotlight overhead, and a mushroom cloud spreads out there, ethereal and ethereal, like an illusion.
There was not a moment when she didn't think about her mother, but she could only pretend to have let go. At this moment, Mo Lianzhi turned into a jar of white powder and rested on the cold shelf, more lonely than lying on a bed in a nursing homeβjust thinking about it would crush her fists.
Throwing the cigarette butt into the toilet bowl and closing the lid there is a powerful flushing sound.
She walked over to the sink, her overwashed face reflected in the mirror with the light strip. At that moment, she felt extremely strange to herself, the former Yang Qianye was nowhere to be found, and what stood in front of her and stared at her was a pair of indifferent and lonely pupils.
"It's you, congratulations, you've finally climbed the high branches and entered high society."
Suddenly, a nasty voice rang in my ears, and another face appeared in the mirror with flirtatious eyes.
In the face of the sudden appearance of Lu Meiqin, she did not show the retreat that she should have because she felt inferior to her identity. She took out her lipstick from her bag, carefully touched up her lips in front of the mirror, and her unskillful movements revealed a tough and inviolable momentum, which surprised Lu Meiqin beside her.
"People go to high places, and water flows to low places." As she spoke, she opened and closed her upper and lower lips repeatedly to make the color appear natural and even, "You know this better than I do." β
"When I first persuaded you, I had to be stubborn, and I said that the bottom line of principles should not be touched. That's it, it's not too late to wake up, while people are still interested in you, hurry up and climb up. β
"Climb?" She looked at Lu Meiqin inexplicably.
"Hmph, there's no need to pretend to be garlic with me, thinking I can't see it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Lu Meiqin hypocritically patted her on the shoulder and sprayed perfume on herself.
Chiba pretended to be calm.
"You seem to be so self-righteous that you know everyone's mind." She smiled contemptuously, "I want to ask you what you see?" β
"Ha, I like your style now." Lu Meiqin also touched up the lipstick in the mirror, and licked the red mark on the tooth with the tip of her tongue, "My warm-hearted heart has never been exchanged for donkey liver and lungs, but fortunately, I am a forgetful person, and I don't remember to eat." She suppressed the anger in her chest and wrote the word "hatred" on the mirror with lipstick. "I still want to ask for advice on how to pronounce this word." Then he looked at Chiba defiantly.
Chiba stared at the word for a long time, wiped the flower with his fingers, and smiled.
"Don't think that everyone is as unscrupulous as you, He Chong and I are in love. Also, I used to want revenge, but when is the time to get revenge, I always have to let go of what should be put down, I don't want to be trapped in it anymore, too tired. β
"Okay, don't get cheap and sell well."
"Say whatever you want, I'm not the same person with you anyway."
"I'm not interested in whether you're really in love with someone, and it's not your turn to point fingers. But once you get acquainted, I'm still happy for you, really, to be a man is to be able to bend and stretch. Lu Meiqin looked behind her and lowered her voice, "Remember that I once suggested to you, it is good for you to win over He Chong." I guess that's what Chocolate thinks the same way, and it's probably his arrangement that you're here today. Again, congratulations, it's a good thing to wake up. β
Lu Meiqin said as she took her hand back from under the faucet, pulled out two pieces of tissue paper and wiped them randomly, and put them in her ear and said "I wish you success", and left.
Chiba stood in place and was in a trance for a while before walking out.
The door of the third compartment was quietly pushed open, and He Yina had a solemn look on her face.
