Chapter 102: The son of the Jin family
The Imperial Capital Hotel was still a short distance from their home, and by the time the three of them arrived, it was almost time for the banquet to begin.
Mrs. Xiao walked in front of her in thin high heels, followed by naturally a little couple walking side by side, but in the end it was still unpleasant because of the morning's events, even if the two of them were clearly smiling and holding in, it still made people feel a little stiff.
Xiao Shuyi was guilty and didn't know what he was thinking, so even if she held his arm, she couldn't show her intimacy with him as she usually wanted, and she became more and more unhappy because of her disgust with this kind of banquet.
My father didn't even come back from the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was in the army, and there were only two people in the family for the holiday, so my mother took her out to the banquet because of this, but she didn't like it after all.
After walking a few steps further, they met a smiling greeter, Mrs. Xiao took out the invitation card for the banquet from her bag and smiled gently, and the greeter who was in charge of greeting the guests sent someone to take them in, turned around and continued to greet the other guests.
There is not much difference from the banquet at the Royal View Bay Hotel last time, it is all similar to the opening of the same nature, the only difference is that this time the time is much earlier, probably to prevent the guests from being late and not good to explain to the people above.
After the three of them entered the venue, the waiter smiled politely at Mrs. Xiao and said something unimportant, and then went back to take the others.
Mrs. Xiao behaved with ease, and did not feel constrained because of the strangeness of the Imperial Capital Hotel, and hastily explained a few words to the two of them and walked away with the lady of the family who came to greet her, obviously her communication skills in this circle are very good.
However, Xiao Shuyi was not so lucky, the young boys and girls or noblewomen in the banquet hall gathered together, and just wanted to talk to Chengyi about letting him accompany him, when he saw another fashionable girl with delicate eyebrows and eyes coming over, and smiled at him beautifully.
"Tsk, what kind of wind is blowing today? Even you, the eldest young master who has never participated in this kind of drinking party, are here, it's really rare! ”
The young girl, dressed fashionably and brightly, held a tall glass full of red wine in her right hand, and put her left hand on his right shoulder.
Then he turned around and looked over, a hint of unknown jealousy flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his smile just now.
Yue Chengyi did not answer the young girl's words, but frowned when he heard her words and saw her restless hand again, worried that Xiao Xiao would misunderstand himself because of this, after all, even if he broke his heart this time, he still couldn't bear to make her sad.
"The banquet is about to begin, let's go over." As he spoke, he put his arm around her willow waist and strode forward, not giving her a chance to think crankily, nor giving the girl a glimmer of hope.
For those women who take the initiative to throw their arms into men, there will never be a good end, and he will not be without vision to that point.
Seeing that the girl blushed and looked like she was going to eat someone, Xiao Shuyi naturally nodded and followed him, in fact, she was worried and lost just now, thinking that Cheng Yi's liking for her could accommodate many people at the same time, but fortunately, he didn't disappoint her in the end.
Hmph, as for the young girl who clearly wants to snatch her boyfriend, let's stay where it's cool!
After the episode just now, the little estrangement between the two disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the relationship was as good as before.
When she followed him to the crowd on the edge of the dance floor, Xiao Shuyi found that most of these people were familiar, but it was difficult for her to remember what she looked like other than those close to her since she was a child, so she just thought that she might have seen them somewhere.
One of the boys with peculiar hair style drank a glass of red wine and whistled at her, which seemed to be a little improper, and then glanced at the young man beside her, who had always been gentle as jade, and soon returned to his seriousness, and said with a smile: "Yue Da Shao has changed to a female companion this time, which is much better than the previous ones!" ”
This boy's name is Jin Yan, and his family is also one of the most famous in City A, and he is the first in the family, and he doesn't even have any brothers and sisters, but he can imagine that all the property of the Jin family will be handed over to him in the future, and he can be regarded as one of the richest people in the future.
Usually my favorite thing to do is to linger in the flowers, and there are even more gossip girlfriends outside than the number of people, either I slept with a certain popular actress today or Ming'er wrapped a certain chick, in short, it is difficult to describe all kinds of deeds about him.
Xiao Shuyi remembered that there was a word that could be used to describe it - it was difficult to write.
was ridiculed in public, or from the mouth of such an overly romantic playboy, everyone thought that he would be at least a little embarrassed, after all, there was a beautiful girl next to him who didn't know how the relationship was, but they didn't want him to still have a faint smile.
"Where can I compare to you, changing a woman is like changing clothes." Yue Chengyi wasn't annoyed, and he didn't feel anything, it was just a stab or two between people who didn't like each other, and he had been used to it a long time ago.
It's just inevitable that Xiao Xiao will listen to what Jin Yan said just now in his heart, the previous ones are already in the past, not to mention who in this circle will not be a little bit old?
The mall requires not only a wise mind, but also the ability to deal with a variety of characters, and the woman at the wine table has always been an indispensable thing for merchants to negotiate contracts.
Jin Yan has always been a person who can't learn to tolerate it, and when he heard him say this, he didn't seem to care, and suddenly he felt that he was the clown who jumped off the beam, and just as he wanted to fight back, he was pulled by the person next to him and signaled him not to be impulsive.
But where can he hold it? Even though I knew it was a public place, I was still ready to ridicule it.
But at this moment, his eyes caught a glimpse of the girl beside Yue Chengyi, and suddenly looked at her inexplicably and laughed, pretending to smile at her and invited: "Before the banquet starts, why don't you ask this beautiful young lady to dance a waltz?" ”
Everyone was stunned at this time, and they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Jin family's son, and it was full of flame breath just now, so he pretended to be a gentleman with grace at this moment.
Xiao Shuyi was always watching, not that she didn't want to help, but she didn't know about these people, but it was obvious that Cheng Yi and this person named Jin Yan should be at odds, as for why she didn't get along, there was no way to know.
In addition, she was not very good at communicating with people, so she could only keep her head down and not get involved, but she didn't think that she was shot even if she was lying down, and she was a little annoyed by this Jin Yan in her heart.
The little girl had some disdain in her eyes, and asked her to waltz with someone like him? Oh, it's better to daydream more!
"I'm sorry, I already have my own dance partner." If Mrs. Xiao was present, she might not refuse, after all, this Jin family is not easy to mess with, and the reason why the Yue family dares to be confronted by Cheng Yi is also because of the Yue family's own family, and their family has nothing to rely on.
Xiao Shuyi smiled slightly and said that she refused, but because there were too many people watching the drama around her, she had to be patient, how can she say that her mother is still here!
If you let your mother know that she has offended people, then she really shouldn't think about being too comfortable this summer.
Chi Guoguo's refusal, Jin Yan narrowed his eyes but was not unhappy, originally he thought that the woman Yue Chengyi brought to the banquet was just a money worshipper who was greedy for money, so thinking that her family was more powerful than the Yue family, she would not refuse herself, but she didn't expect to be rejected.
Maybe this time it shouldn't be a simple dance partner, I heard earlier that Yue Chengyi guy has a childhood sweetheart's girlfriend, and then looked at the obviously dignified and beautiful girl in front of him, the son of the Jin family said that he had understood the identity of this person.
What kind of woman does the people in this circle want? So Jin Yan just smiled faintly, and then glanced at Yue Chengyi and said with a strange smile: "Yue Da Shao is finally willing to bring his own green plums out to see!" ”
As soon as he said it aloud, everyone else understood, and they all reacted that the little girl in front of him was the top of the young master of the Yue family, and immediately put away the contempt for her just now.
There are two major Xiao families in City A, one of which is known for being a military family, and coincidentally, the girlfriend of the young master of the Yue family is from this Xiao family.
Although the Xiao family of the military family is not very outstanding, and it is not as famous as the Jin family or the Yue family, it is enough to make people not underestimate.
The sons of the Jin family took the lead in speaking, and everyone naturally followed suit, saying compliments such as Miss Xiao's natural beauty and Yue Chengyi's blessings.
After everyone was noisy for a while, it was time for the banquet to officially begin, first they said something as usual, and then the scene became lively, with one place for the ladies and one for the men, and the young girls like Xiao Shuyi were naturally squeezed into the corner, eating pastries and drinking fruits.
In fact, it's not all true, there is a dance floor in the middle of the banquet for young men and women to dance, which is also the "unspoken rule" of the sorority, which has always been loved by the daughters of wealthy families.
Xiao Shuyi is still the same as before, looking for a quieter corner and food as a companion, but her eyes will be aimed at the direction where Yue Chengyi is from time to time, and her mood will improve when she sees him talking and laughing among those successful people.
Since the banquet starts at lunchtime, it will be longer than the previous ones, and it will always be boring when it lasts longer.
Seeing that the hour hand of the watch on her wrist was already pointing to six o'clock in the evening, Xiao Shuyi was really bored, touched her full little belly, and looked at the delicate snacks on the plate, secretly thinking that she really couldn't eat anymore, it was too stuffy here, and she was about to get depressed if she didn't go out to breathe.
