Yao Zhiyue has been working in the Marriage Defense War Studio for almost a month, and her life seems to be back on track and returning to its previous peace.

Until, her superior, Shi Bin, invited her to be his female companion at a charity gala of a wealthy club to raise funds for wildlife conservation. Shi Bin was the interviewer who asked her the last question last time, and he was the director of the company, responsible for all departments.

Last night, because the work at hand had not been completed, Yao Zhiyue took the initiative to stay and work overtime to finish. At that time, Shi Bin had not left the company.

Almost an hour later, Shi Bin walked out of the office and saw a beam of light emanating from only Yao Zhiyue's seat in the empty company, stretching her slender shadow very long.

Yao Zhiyue didn't expect that Shi Bin walked up to her and invited her to accompany her to the charity gala with a straightforward but straightforward look, admitting that he received an invitation temporarily, and had been making a few phone calls to friends of the opposite sex since he got off work, but everyone had other arrangements, so he could only ask her for a favor.

The charity gala was scheduled for this Saturday night. Yao Zhiyue wanted to refuse, but because of the sincerity of the other party, she added . The identity of the director, she was embarrassed to say no.

However, the evening dress to wear to the party became a major problem for her. She didn't have the spare money to buy that expensive dress that was worn once and then almost shelved.

Fortunately, Song Lingling's colleague happened to attend a party some time ago, and her height and figure were about the same as her, and he was willing to lend it to her, so this solved Yao Zhiyue's urgent need.

Shi Bin's driver parked the car in front of a palatial hotel, buttoned up his blazer, and then got out of the car to open the door for Yao Zhiyue, making a gesture of being held in a gentlemanly manner.

Yao Zhiyue took a deep breath, showed a decent smile to Shi Bin, took his arm, and felt like a fake princess, stepping on the three-zhang long red carpet, like stepping on the clouds, every step was ethereal.

To her surprise, there were still reporters around, and she couldn't help but gasp, for fear that one would be violent if she was not careful. revealed his embarrassment.

Yao Zhiyue followed Shi Bin into the venue and entered the hotel gate, where there were already welcome staff waiting, and thoughtfully invited the invitees into the party site.

Looking at the men and women in suits and leather shoes and exquisite makeup at the party scene, Yao Zhiyue breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries that she had been worried about whether the dress on her body would be too exaggerated dissipated instantly.

All Yao Zhiyue can do is to show a decent smile, learn to be generous, and then try to talk as little as possible, not to seek merit but to be without fault.

Maintaining this state and accompanying Shi Bin for almost an hour, the pain in her feet made her unbearable, so she considered and found an excuse, found a quiet corner and sat down, put her handbag on the table, and secretly beat her calves under the cover of silk.

She now understands that fundraising is just a name, and the real purpose is to provide a platform for the powerful to ensure that they can reach a deal with each other.

Yao Zhiyue picked up a glass of champagne from the tray in the hands of the passing waiters and sipped it slowly as a bystander. Suddenly, a tall figure not far away firmly caught her gaze, and her heart twitched slightly.

Probably because her gaze was too burning. Hot, the man slowly turned around and met her gaze without warning, a flash of surprise on his face.

Yao Zhiyue looked away in a panic, her heart sank for a moment, and she lifted it up again. She caught a glimpse of the familiar and unfamiliar figure walking towards her.

"Long time no see."

Yao Zhiyue's muscles were stiff all over her body, the smile on her face was a little unnatural, and she lowered her eyes and whispered, "Long time no see." ”

Li Chenghao glanced her up and down, with a warm smile in his peach blossom eyes, "You are very beautiful tonight." ”

Yao Zhiyue raised her eyes to look at him, and looked forward to it for a moment, "Thank you." ”

Li Chenghao hesitated for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said gently: "The organizer's layout and decoration this time are very good, especially the fireworks scene, when there are few people, it is more meaningful, how about it?" Is there any interest in checking it out. ”

Yao Zhiyue hesitated for a while, it was difficult to resist his moisturizing and silent warmth, and nodded and followed behind Li Chenghao.

Coming to the scene of the fireworks, the fragrance of roses dipped into the nose, and there were large patches of bright roses hanging up the dyed ceiling overhead, and under the soft illumination of the lights, Yao Zhiyue was shrouded in a bright red light, as if she was in the clouds of the morning glow, and seemed to be wrapped in soft and smooth silk.

"Are you coming with Yiming?"

Li Chenghao's faint and warm voice broke the beauty of silence and brought Yao Zhiyue back to reality. She turned her head to look at Li Chenghao, she came over with Chen Yiming, did he care very much?

Yao Zhiyue secretly smiled bitterly, reminding herself not to be sentimental, people just asked casually to break the embarrassing silence, "No." ”

Li Chenghao hurriedly turned his head to look at Yao Zhiyue, and the stunned in his eyes was fleeting, "Then, have you been in touch?" ”

Yao Zhiyue suddenly thought of that night's entanglement. Mian, as if he could smell Chen Yiming's warm breath. Her cheeks rolled up to the base of her ears. hot, his heart pounded hard, and he replied with some weakness: "No." ”

Li Chenghao glanced at Yao Zhiyue inquiringly, smiled warmly, and immediately changed the topic, "This rose alone probably cost millions, all of them are new flowers that were airlifted from Yunnan." ”

Yao Zhiyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a slight dull pain in her heart, sure enough, she was self-inflicted, looking at his words and demeanor, as if there was no pimple in his heart at all. Unlike her, she tried to be calm and self-convincing, but she still couldn't be sad or happy after so long.

"No wonder it's called fireworks, look at this flower is so red that it can drip blood."

"Let's go, the fundraiser is almost underway."

Yao Zhiyue nodded, although she was relieved, she couldn't help but feel a trace of loss, followed Li Chenghao, and then dispersed in the welcoming and sending with each other.

Yao Zhiyue found Shi Bin in the crowd, grabbed his arm before remembering that he had left his handbag, and smiled apologetically at him after going back to get the handbag.

Shi Bin took her into the fundraising area with everyone, but saw those rich people who were all about to present their proud works on the shelf, including jewelry, precious oil paintings, and priceless antiques, which really opened Yao Zhiyue's eyes.

Suddenly, a sharp voice was filled with horror, as if a bomb had blown up the order and Sven of the party, "Oh my God, where's the pearl necklace I brought?" It was the jewelry worn by Queen Elizabeth of England. ”

Immediately after that, the whispers came and went, but fortunately, the host calmed the restlessness of everyone present, and after a while, he saw that all the entrances and exits were already standing with security guards.

Yao Zhiyue looked at everything that happened curiously, only to hear Shi Bin lower his voice and say, "I heard that the pearl necklace is worth millions of dollars, and this matter seems to be very sloppy." ”

Yao Zhiyuexing's eyes widened, and she repeated in surprise, "Million dollars!" ”

The lady who lost her valuable jewelry was finally calmed down, and only heard a voice calmly emerging from the crowd, "Such a valuable thing can raise a lot of materials for the organization to protect wild animals, and it should be found on the spot, and not given to people with ill intentions to take it for themselves." ”

There are also voices in agreement, and there are voices that think about post-processing. Advice to find lost property on the spot.

The lady who suggested finding the lost item on the spot got up from her seat, but saw that it was a dress. Feeling the young lady in the dress. She walked over to the shelf and, without saying a word, poured out all the contents of her handbag, and there was nothing but a few tubes of lipstick and some make-up makeup.

Yao Zhiyue heard some ladies beside her whispering dissatisfaction, "This Ning Wenduo just loves to be in the limelight, who knows how many things are stuffed into that pair of breasts!" ”

Immediately after that, someone followed Ning Wenduo to take the initiative to pour things, including litmus. The older ladies did not agree with their self-degrading behavior at all, believing that it was a complete farce of humiliation.

Yao Zhiyue hurriedly confirmed whether there was anything in the bag that could not be put on the table, if this was everyone's way of proving their innocence, even if it was vulgar, she could only abide by it.

She opened her handbag, only to hear a soft sound, something shiny and cold slipped through her fingertips, and a crystal light emanated slightly.

The quick-eyed men sitting beside her exclaimed, "Ah! Is it the pearl necklace? ”

Yao Zhiyue's eyes trembled and fell on the string of lustrous pearl necklaces that fell at her feet, and she couldn't help but gasp, only to feel a cold sweat on her back—what's going on! Why is it in her bag?

Yao Zhiyue's mind was blank, feeling the stunned and angry gaze from Shi Bin, she seemed to be petrified, it took a lot of effort, and she shook her head hard, but she couldn't say anything.

"No, I didn't take it!"

"You didn't take it, why is it in your bag instead of ours?"

"I—I don't know. Someone must have put it in......"

"Don't say it, let's call the police."

Yao Zhiyue's head exploded, and she swept around the people around her in fear, but saw that everyone's gaze on her was full of disdain and disgust. She looked at Shi Bin helplessly, no less grievance in her heart than Dou E, and begged: "No, don't!" ”

Shi Bin sighed and shook his head, his face full of suppressed humiliation.

Yao Zhiyue was completely desperate, her little face was pale and bloodless, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and she cried out loudly in despair: "It's not me!" It's really not me! ”

"Call the police. Let her get out of here, don't get dirty here. ”

Yao Zhiyue's legs weakened, and she only felt that her soul had gradually withdrawn from her body. Seeing that she was about to sit on the ground, a pair of strong and warm hands strongly supported her elbows, and a force was transmitted to her heart, which actually alleviated some of the uneasiness.
