Chapter 17: A Chance Encounter with Mans at a Cocktail Party
On Saturday, when Ye Junyang came back to pick up Xia Xing, she happened to be in front of the mirror sorting out the details on the dress.
She wore an apricot-colored tulle slip dress, embellished with gold glitter, breaking the monotonous dullness, the slender collarbone was exposed, looking delicate and sexy, the blown fluffy curls lazily scattered over the shoulders, and silver high heels. In addition to the dignified elegance of the whole person, a trace of charm is added.
Ye Junyang stepped forward slowly, picked up the 'Lover's Tears' necklace in the jewelry box, and personally put it on her neck. Then he hugged her gently from behind, "Mrs. Ye, I suddenly don't want to take you with me." ”
Xia Xing didn't know why, a pair of clear and bright eyes looked at him suspiciously through the mirror.
Ye Junyang smiled low and kissed Xia Xing's ear, "It's nothing, okay, let's go!" ”
When the two arrived at the venue holding hands, there were already guests inside, their arrival caused a lot of sensation, along the way people came to greet them in turn, most of them were business celebrities, Xia Xing had hardly seen it, and naturally she couldn't talk, the only thing she could do was to keep smiling, or raise the red wine in her hand to clink glasses with others.
After a few glasses of red wine, Xia Xing's face was already a little red, and Ye Junyang said in her ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Less at a time, I don't want my wife to get drunk before the drinking party is over." ”
Xia Xing bit his lip, "There are too many people toasting with you!" I've tried to drink as little as I can. There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone that she didn't even realize.
Ye Junyang smiled: "Then why don't you go over there and get some snacks to eat." He gestured to the tables on either side of the hall where desserts were placed. Xia Xing stretched his slender neck and looked at it, thinking that it was okay, he was just a little hungry.
Just as she was about to leave, she vaguely heard someone calling her name, she wondered how there was still someone she knew here, looking for the voice, it was Mansi!
Xia Xing saw her walking quickly in her direction with her skirt, her eyes were full of surprise smiles, Xia Xing was also a little surprised, it turned out that the dinner party she was going to attend turned out to be here, what a coincidence!
Just as she was thinking about it, Mans had already walked in front of her, and she had put her hair in a loose bun today, and two slightly curly strands of hair hung down on both sides of her forehead, which looked very elegant. Xia Xing smiled and held Mansi's hand and said, "There are a lot of people here, it's not like at home, you go so fast and be careful to bump into it!" ”
Man Si covered his mouth and smiled, "I really didn't expect to see you here, I didn't care so much when I was happy, you are so beautiful today, I haven't seen you like this, at first I wasn't sure it was you, I didn't call you after I saw it carefully!" Xia Xing also laughed with her.
"Huh? Is this your husband? Man Si looked at Ye Junyang, who was standing aside, and frowned at Xia Xing. Xia Xing nodded at Man Si, "This is my husband, Ye Junyang." Then he turned to Ye Junyang and said, "Junyang, this is Mansi!" ”
Ye Junyang's thin lips were slightly hooked, and he bowed his head to Man Si, which was regarded as a greeting, Man Si returned a salute, and his eyes did not shy away from looking at the man opposite, even if her own husband was already handsome enough, she had to admit that Ye Junyang was indeed handsome, and the aura exuded from his body made people know at a glance that it was definitely not a thing in the pool, but the eyes that looked at Xia Xing were doting, and the two stood together, they were really a pair of beautiful people.
"If you're not careful, why did you come here?"
Xia Xing looked at the man who suddenly walked to Mansi's side, and guessed in his heart, could it be Mansi's husband?
Sure enough, I saw Man Si pulling his arm with a happy face, pointing at Xia Xing and saying, "Jiahao, this is what I mentioned to you before, that beautiful and talented friend Xia Xing." ”
Liu Jiahao turned around and smiled at Xia Xing, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, I have heard Manman mention you for a long time, and I have never had a chance to meet." ”
Xia Xing smiled embarrassedly, then stretched out his hand and shook it politely, "Hello, Mr. Liu." ”
The two shook hands, Liu Jiahao looked at Ye Junyang, and a moment of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Mr. Ye? Ye Junyang shook his hand with a smile and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, hello!" ”
Two women at the same time, 'Huh? Mansi was still anxious, "Do you know each other?" ”
Liu Jiahao looked at Man Si with a smile and said, "Man Man, this is Mr. Ye of the Ye Group, who is quite young and promising, and has had a few encounters with me. ”
Ye Junyang also smiled and nodded, "Don't dare to be, I have long heard of Mr. Liu's prestige, and I have never had the opportunity to cooperate with your company." The four of them clinked glasses together, and then the two women left the two men behind under the pretext that they were hungry.
The two men watched their figures gradually walk away before retracting their eyes, Liu Jiahao raised his goblet to Ye Junyang, "I heard that Mr. Ye has recently taken a fancy to a piece of land?" ”
A trace of surprise flashed in Ye Junyang's eyes, and after thinking about it, this time the bidding with Fengda was so big, it was inevitable that the news would leak, and he smiled quietly: "Mr. Liu is very well-informed. ”
Liu Jiahao smiled and took a sip of red wine, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious that the Ye family has never been involved in the real estate business, how can they be so interested in this piece of land this time?" After a pause, he said, "It's just to satisfy your curiosity, and it's okay if Mr. Ye doesn't want to say it." ”
Ye Junyang reached out and took a glass of red wine from the tray in the hands of the waiter who passed by, and after taking a sip, he squinted and stared at Liu Jiahao for a few seconds, before he smiled and said, "This is not a secret, you also know, when my father was the chairman of the company in the past, we were more engaged in import and export trade. ”
"Oh? In this way, this piece of land is more than just a money-making tool for Mr. Ye. ”
Ye Junyang smiled: "It can be understood in this way. ”
Liu Jiahao laughed and clinked glasses with Ye Junyang, "Then I wish Mr. Ye success in advance!" ”
"Thank you Mr. Liu first, I have the opportunity to invite you and your wife to my house as guests, I think they are quite chatty." Ye Junyang said with a smile.
Liu Jiahao bowed his head happily, and then he saw a woman dressed in fancy clothes walking in their direction with a wine glass, and a pair of charming eyes were nailed straight to Ye Junyang. He raised his chin at Ye Junyang, "Mr. Ye, a friend is here." Then he smiled and left.
Friend? Before Ye Junyang could react, he first smelled a strong smell of perfume, he frowned slightly, and then heard a delicate voice, "Brother Ye, when did you come over, why didn't I see you before?" ”
Ye Junyang turned his head and looked at the woman with heavy makeup in front of him, and he didn't remember who this person was for a while, and the woman didn't feel embarrassed, but said with a shy face, "Has Brother Ye forgotten me?" I'm Lina! Didn't we eat together last time? ”
Ye Junyang faintly had some reflections at this time, and it turned out to be Xiao Lina, the daughter of Huayu Group.
A year ago, she was forced by an old lady to go on a blind date. It seemed that he had seen her, but he remembered that he didn't seem to have spoken a few words to her at the time, so he found an excuse to slip away, and the old lady was angry with him for several days about it.
He looked at the woman in front of him, and frowned slightly, "It turned out to be Miss Xiao, I didn't recognize it for a while, I hope you don't mind." ”
Xiao Lina hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Don't mind, don't mind." We've only met once, and it's been so long, it's normal that you don't remember. ”
Ye Junyang smiled, "Who is Miss Xiao coming with this time?" ”
"Oh, with my dad." As she spoke, she pointed in the other direction, Ye Junyang looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, it was Xiao Huaqiang, Xiao Huaqiang happened to see him too, and the two raised their glasses in the air, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Didn't Brother Ye bring a female companion today?" Xiao Lina asked tentatively.
"Yes." Ye Junyang didn't want to talk to her too much, he looked around, but didn't see the familiar figure. I had to pretend to be sorry and said to Xiao Lina, "I said that I would come over after taking a snack, why haven't I come here for so long, I'll take a look." After speaking, she didn't care about Xiao Lina's disappointed eyes, she turned around and left.
On the other side of the hall, a woman in a black suspender dress was squinting at the direction Ye Junyang left with a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes.
Her white two fingers pressed the base of the red wine glass and slowly turned around on the table, and the red juice gently rippled in it, until the person she was looking at completely disappeared from her sight, she picked up the red wine in her hand, raised her slender neck and drank it all. Then don't forget to stick out the tip of your tongue and gently lick the wine stains that spill from the corners of your mouth. The posture is full of charms, which has attracted the attention of many men for a while.
"This young lady. Alone? A balding old man with a big belly walked over with a squint, put his hand on her shoulder and asked.
The woman didn't break away, but turned around and gave him a seductive smile, "Aren't these just two?" She said, in a soft and tactful tone, almost to the heart.
"Oh yo, that's what I'm saying, that's what I'm saying!" The man smiled and nodded. The hand slowly moved to the position of her waist, "Dare to ask Miss Fang's name?" ”
"Don't have your surname Ni, and your single name is a Ma character!" The woman said with a smile.
"Oh, Ni... Nima, Nima?! The man smiled and said before he suddenly reacted, "Hey, you woman, how can you scold people!" ”
The woman covered her lips and giggled, "Swearing? Who heard me curse? The hand poked lightly at his chest, "It's obviously a pig who was scolded, a big fat pig with a bald top..."
The few people around him burst into laughter.
The man's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he stood up, pointed his finger at her, and said with trembling lips and anger, "You... You know I... Who am I? ”
"I don't care who you are," the woman laughed again, "I'm actually more interested in this finger of yours than I am!" ”
It was too late to say it, but I only heard a 'click' sound, and the man's index finger was broken by the woman.
"Hey, my hands, my hands...... wow," the man cried out in pain, but was quickly drowned out by the noise of conversation and music.
None of the crowds around him were willing to come to his aid.
The woman didn't bother to look at the man's howling wolf, she slowly stood up, carefully straightened the skirt on her body, and then twisted her bumpy figure away in front of everyone.
Xia Xing was sitting comfortably in the courtyard behind the venue with a plate of cakes with Mansi at this time, this courtyard is very large, the environment is also very quiet, the night breeze blows, bringing the aroma of grass, and occasionally there are waiters holding wine glasses or desserts to shake around here to provide to those who need it.
"It's great to meet you here." Man Si blinked and said to Xia Xing, "You don't know, every time I participate in a banquet like this, I feel bored!" ”
